……
Afterwards, Akiko Yonehara leaned in Mori's arms, her breath still steady, but still looking at Mori.
Mao Li looked down at Yonehara Akiko, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Next, do as I say. I will help you make those two guys pay the price."
As Yonehara Akiko listened to his calm words, she unexpectedly felt a sense of security she had never felt before.
She grasped Mao Li's sleeve tightly and nodded solemnly.
Mao Li's expression gradually became serious, his eyes deep and cold: "You scum who bullied elementary school girls deserve to die!"
These words pierced her heart like a sharp knife, making her eyes slightly red. She knew she had not misjudged him.
After tidying up the clothes, Mao Li took Yonehara Akiko back to the living room.
Because Maori had treated her condition beforehand, Yonehara Akiko looked normal, with no trace of her previous emotional ups and downs.
No one noticed anything unusual, only Xiaolan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
She tilted her head to look at Yonehara Akiko, then at her father, and felt inexplicably that the atmosphere between them seemed to be closer than before, but she couldn't tell what was strange at the moment.
At this time, Mao Li found an appropriate opportunity and deliberately brought up a topic: "Speaking of which, did something bad happen three years ago?"
This sentence seemed to be a fuse, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.
Mori Atsushi cooperated and smiled sarcastically, "Oh, yes, it was about that incident three years ago - the suicide of the elementary school girl Minako Mochizuki."
His tone was dismissive and deliberate, as if he was reigniting an old grudge.
As soon as these words were spoken, Shimoda Kohei and Sakai Ryuichi's faces immediately turned pale, while Nakamura Minoru's face showed a complicated expression, like regret and guilt.
When Shimoda Kohei and Sakai Ryu saw that things were going in a bad direction, they interrupted Mori Atsushi and said sternly, "That's enough! Stop talking about those old things!"
There was a flash of panic in their eyes, and they were obviously very uneasy about the mention of this matter.
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang at the door, and the crisp ring tone was particularly harsh in the silent living room.
Shimoda Kohei stood up as if relieved, and took this opportunity to get rid of the current deadlock: "I'll go open the door."
He walked quickly towards the door, muttering under his breath as he walked: "It's time..."
When Shimoda Kohei opened the door, he saw a figure leaning against the doorbell. That person was none other than Mr. Sugiyama who had been absent.
Seeing this, he first breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he reached out and patted Shanshan on the shoulder: "Why did you come just now? We thought you..."
Before he could finish his words, as soon as his hand touched Teacher Sugiyama's body, a cold and stiff touch instantly spread along his fingertips.
Shimoda was stunned for a moment, then retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
At this moment, Mr. Sugiyama's body seemed to have lost its last support and fell straight to the ground.
"boom!"
The corpse fell heavily to the floor at the door. Shimoda was so frightened that he took a step back and his face turned pale instantly.
His breathing quickened, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief: "This...how is this possible?"
Teacher Sugiyama's face was blue, his eyes were slightly open, his lips were purple, and his whole body was completely soaked in cold air. He had obviously frozen to death outside.
Maori stood in the middle of the living room, his eyes cold and calm.
He did not panic, but just glanced at the fallen body calmly. Everything was going according to plan.
Chapter 355 Internal strife
When Conan saw the body of Teacher Sugiyama, he immediately jumped out of the crowd and quickly searched for clues around the body.
His hands kept searching for any traces that might have been left.
However, no matter how carefully he searched, he did not find any valuable clues that could explain how the body appeared at the door.
This result puzzled Conan - the appearance of this corpse seemed to have no reason, and all the details were handled perfectly, as if someone deliberately erased all traces.
At the same time, Maori glanced at Sugiyama's body calmly, without showing any surprise.
Instead, at this moment, he looked at Akiko Yonehara who was standing beside him.
Akiko Yonehara nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions.
Her nod told Maori that everything was going smoothly according to his plan.
She had already prepared the body, and used a mechanism to cleverly make the body ring the doorbell - all of this was as accurate as Mr. Maori had expected.
As Shimoda Kohei and Sakai Ryuichi looked at Sugiyama's body, their faces turned paler.
They walked forward tremblingly to check the body, appearing extremely nervous.
The two men checked the body back and forth, but in the end they were at a loss. They looked at Mao Li for help with a panicked look: "Mr. Mao Li, what on earth is going on? How could he die here?"
Maori put away his indifferent expression, walked naturally to the corpse, squatted down to carefully "inspect" it, and began to act in a pretentious manner.
He turned over Sugiyama's stiff arm, and then deliberately touched the face of the corpse, pretending to be professional and serious: "Since the body was exposed to the cold environment for a long time, his time of death can no longer be accurately determined. In this case, everyone may become a suspect."
He paused, his eyes swept over the people present one by one, and his tone became more serious: "In other words, Shimoda Kohei, Sakai Ryuichi, Nakamura Minoru, Yonehara Akiko, Mori Atsushi - each of you five people may have committed a crime."
Having said this, he deliberately paused, as if exerting invisible pressure on everyone.
Then, Maori continued to reason: "Yonehara Akiko was attacked before, and according to Conan's testimony, Mori Atsushi had an alibi at the time of the attack. Therefore, the suspicion of these two people is relatively low."
"And the remaining three people - Shimoda Kohei, Sakai Ryuichi, Nakamura Minoru, you are undoubtedly the most suspicious. Especially since we have just mentioned the incident three years ago."
Maori's eyes were like sharp blades, piercing straight into the three people, forcing them to face the problem.
Conan stood aside and nodded slightly.
He agreed with Mao Li's reasoning, but still felt that there were some unresolved doubts.
This made him fall into deep thought: "Uncle Maori is right, but I always feel that something is not right here."
Mao Li did not give them much room to think. He stared at the three people coldly, and said in a sharp and unquestionable tone: "No matter what, now is the time to clarify what happened three years ago."
His eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed firmly on Shimoda, Sakai and Nakamura.
The three of them were overwhelmed by Mao Li's momentum and looked at each other.
Nakamura Minoru seemed a little hesitant, with anxiety and guilt flashing in her eyes.
She opened her mouth as if preparing to say something.
However, just as she was about to speak, Shimoda Kohei and Sakai Ryuichi suddenly exchanged a meaningful look, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
"There's nothing to say."
Shimoda Kohei interrupted her coldly and stood up with an unhappy look on his face.
Sakai Ryuichi followed closely behind, also showing an impatient look: "It's been so long since the incident happened, why bring up the past?"
The two refused to cooperate with a firm attitude, and then walked back to their room without looking back, as if they didn't want to talk about those unpleasant past events.
Nakamura Minoru looked at their backs as they left, her face full of helplessness and pain. She stood there with her head down, her hands clenched into fists, as if she was struggling with her inner struggle.
After seeing the two people leave, Mao Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
He quietly took out an intermediate hypnosis card from his pocket, moved his fingers slightly, and secretly activated the effect of the card on Ryuichi Sakai.
The power of the hypnosis card quickly penetrated into Sakai's mind, and his pupils gradually turned a deep red.
A fog of emotions lingered in his mind, and the pent-up resentment and dissatisfaction of the past seemed to be magnified to the extreme.
He suddenly felt a strong anger burning in his chest, and the source of this anger was directed at Shimoda Kohei.
The two returned upstairs, and the calmness they had managed to maintain collapsed in an instant.
Ryuichi Sakai's emotions were completely out of control. He gritted his teeth and started yelling at Kohei Shimoda.
Shimoda was also ignited by this sudden anger and retorted, not willing to be outdone. The two of them fiercely accused each other, and the conflict broke out in an instant like dry wood and raging fire.
With a bang, there were heavy footsteps and falling sounds coming from upstairs, and the two men soon started to wrestle with each other.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the living room was tense and depressing.
Maori and his group turned their attention to Nakamura Minoru who was standing aside, hesitant.
Mao Li looked at her calmly, as if everything was under control.
Nakamura Shiri clenched her fists and struggled for a long time. Finally, she sighed helplessly and whispered, "I know something..."
Her voice trembled slightly, but she still told the truth she knew bit by bit.
Nakamura Minori admitted that although she did not witness Minako Mochizuki's death with her own eyes, she did see Minako's body in the sports warehouse, where only Shimoda Kohei and Sakai Ryuichi were at the time.
She couldn't be sure whether the two were directly involved in Minako's death, but their suspicious whereabouts made it impossible to ignore.
As Nakamura Minoru's testimony came to light, Shimoda and Sakai's suspicions suddenly became more serious.
At this moment, there was a fierce quarrel from upstairs, accompanied by the sound of things falling, and it seemed that the quarrel had escalated into a physical conflict.
Mao Li raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately led everyone upstairs.
As soon as he went upstairs, Mao Li saw Xiao Ai who had already come out of the room. She was leaning against the wall, looking at the chaotic situation in the building with a cold face.
Seeing Maori approaching, Xiao Ai walked up to him and was hugged by Maori.
She raised her head slightly, her tone still calm: "They started quarreling as soon as they came back, and now they are fighting. Do we need to stop them?"
Maori looked down at Ai in his arms, a smile flashing in his eyes.
He shook his head slightly and whispered, "No need."
After hearing this, Xiao Ai understood and leaned against Maori's chest, saying no more.
Chapter 356: No Hope
When Mori and the others walked into the room, they saw that Ryuichi Sakai and Kohei Shimoda had completely lost control.
The two wrestled with each other like mad beasts, cursing at each other and blaming each other for killing Mochizuki Minako.
Anger made them completely lose their composure, and the quarrel became increasingly sharp and harsh.
Ryuichi Sakai was a physical education teacher, tall and strong, much stronger than Kohei Shimoda. He pushed Shimoda to the ground and mercilessly punched and kicked him.
Shimoda fought back, but he was no match for him. Sakai's eyes were filled with anger and madness, and he yelled, "It's all your fault! It's all because of you!"
As everyone stared in amazement, Ryuichi Sakai suddenly grabbed a heavy statue, his eyes revealing complete despair and twisted pleasure.
The statue was held high in his hand, and the next second, he smashed it hard on Shimoda Kohei's head without hesitation!
"boom!"
A muffled sound echoed in the room, and the statue fell heavily on Shimoda Kohei's head. Blood instantly gushed out from the cracked scalp, and Shimoda's body twitched violently, and then stopped moving.
The air in the room seemed to be stagnant, and everyone was shocked speechless by this sudden tragedy.
Ryuichi Sakai still maintained the posture of holding the statue, his eyes were red, and his breathing was heavy and crazy.
There was an indescribable satisfaction and despair on his face, while Shimoda Kohei lay quietly in a pool of blood, motionless.
……
Everyone was stunned by this scene. The air seemed to be sucked out, and the silence was suffocating.
Xiaolan screamed suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she subconsciously shrank behind Maori.
Although she had followed her father and Conan in many cases and had seen corpses more than once, this was the first time she had witnessed such a bloody, vivid murder scene.
The heavy statue, the gushing blood, the whole scene was so shocking that it seemed like a nightmare.
"Dad...he, he killed someone..."
Xiaolan's voice trembled. She tightly grasped the corner of Maori's clothes and dared not look forward.
Nakamura Minoru screamed, she covered her mouth, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief: "Sakai Ryuichi, what are you doing? Are you crazy?!"
Her voice became shrill with excessive panic.
Yonehara Akiko stood there, motionless, as if she had been struck by lightning.
She looked at Maori in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief and complex emotions.
She could hardly comprehend what was happening before her eyes - it was Maori who had caused this tragedy, but at this moment he remained calm as if everything was under his control.
