Chapter 127 Conan’s Bag Item (Ch 127)

The next morning, not long after arriving at the company and entering the office, Gozo Usumoto received a call. His granddaughter Xia Jiang took the cordless handset of the landline phone and said, “Grandpa, it’s the police calling.”

“A call from the police?” This reminded Gozo Uemoto of what the Grim Reaper had said to him yesterday – the police will give you the answer soon, no later than tomorrow noon.

Gozo took the phone and said, “I’m Gozo Uzumoto.”

Inspector Megure’s voice came from the other end, “President Yamoto, I’m Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department. I want to tell you something, and I hope you’re mentally prepared.”

“Go ahead, don’t treat me like a sick old man who can’t stand the wind and waves.”

Originally, Gozo Uemoto had a bad heart, which was why he was so angry with his daughter that he was hospitalized and almost died. But after being rescued by the God of Death, he found that his heart disease was miraculously cured, and even some minor problems disappeared completely.

He estimated that he could live several years longer than before. But unfortunately, this was only his estimate, and his actual life expectancy remained the same.

Inspector Megure informed, “We already know who killed your grandson.”

“Who is it?” Uzumoto Gozo held his breath nervously.

Megure replied: “It was Masao Okamoto, the driver hired by your grandson.”

“It’s indeed him!” Uzumoto Gozo slammed his fist on the table.

“Huh? As expected? What does that mean?” Megure felt very strange. Could it be that President Tsurumoto had already known that Okamoto was the murderer?

“Ah, nothing, I just heard that young man mention this possibility yesterday.”

“You mean Mochizuki? That’s true. He did suspect Okamoto was the murderer…” Megure explained in detail, “We found a machete in Okamoto’s house, and also a pair of stilts. If he stood on the stilts, it would just fit the murderer’s height simulated by the scientific research. The knife also contained blood from the two dead people.”

What the Grim Reaper said was indeed correct, the murderer was Masao Okamoto.

“But why did he want to kill my grandson?” This was something Hao Zang couldn’t understand.

Megure was silent for a moment, then said, “We also found a piece of paper in his house that recorded an evil ritual. As long as you chop off the heads of a young man and woman from a high place, you can take away their luck and eliminate your own bad luck. We suspect that Okamoto has joined an evil sect, but no matter how we ask, he keeps pretending to be stupid.”

“How can this be possible!” Hao Zang was so angry that he was fuming.

What kind of absurd reason? My grandson was killed for no apparent reason?

Megure could also hear Gozo’s anger, so he didn’t say much and hung up the phone after conveying the message.

Yumoto Gozo was so angry that he kicked over the chair he was sitting on, and swept all the decorations on the table to the ground, smashing the delicate ceramic teacups to pieces. Xia Jiang was terrified, “Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?”

Daughter Mariko, son-in-law Kitaro, and son Shouji rushed into the office without knocking. Mariko even shouted, “Dad, what’s going on? Did Xia Jiang make you unhappy?”

This time, Gozo did not reprimand them. Instead, he looked at Mariko and said, “The police called and said that the murderer of Ichiro has been identified. It’s the driver. The evidence is irrefutable…”

After hearing her father repeat what the police said, Mariko was stunned, “How could it be… that driver?” Then she came to her senses and was furious, “It was him! Ahhh! How dare he kill Ichiro! How dare he?!”

Hao Zang narrowed his eyes and said to himself murderously: “Ichiro, just wait, Grandpa will make him be buried with you!”

When Mochizuki knew that the driver was involved in the kidnapping, he had already decided to kill the driver. But he didn’t do it later because he wanted to make the driver a scapegoat, and he didn’t need to do it later, because Gozo Usumoto would definitely find a way to kill the driver.

Everything is developing in the direction preset by Mochizuki.

…

Mochizuki planned two things. One was to let the driver Okamoto bear the crime, which has been basically completed; the other thing was to put a pornographic book into Conan’s schoolbag to frame Conan, which is also about to be done.

At the Maori Detective Agency, Kogoro was very idle today, with no business coming to the store, so he just leaned back in his chair and watched TV. Conan was not at home, having gone to play at Dr. Agasa’s house, and Xiaolan was cleaning the house while she had nothing to do.

“It’s getting harder and harder to be a detective these days.” Kogoro sighed, “Luckily, Conan’s parents and Mochizuki foolishly gave us money, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to make it!”

Xiaolan looked resentful, “It’s because you, Dad, often go out to play billiards and horse racing, and you lose all your money. Otherwise, our family wouldn’t have to live in such a tight situation…”

“Humph, what do kids know? Detectives need connections. How can you get connections without spending money?”

“Excuse…” Xiaolan obviously didn’t believe it.

Kogoro was too lazy to explain, “Don’t meddle in other people’s business. After you clean the second floor, go to the third floor. I always feel that there is a strange smell in my room.”

Xiaolan didn’t argue with her father, and angrily took the broom and feather duster to the third floor to clean the bedroom. Conan’s schoolbag was still on the floor, so in order to make it easier to clean, Xiaolan picked up the schoolbag and prepared to put it on the bed first. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

As a result, the flap of the bag was not buttoned properly, and the zipper inside was not zipped up. When she lifted it up like this, all the books inside fell out. “Ah, how careless, how could you not even zip up the bag properly?”

Xiaolan squatted down and planned to pick up the book and put it back into her schoolbag, but after picking up a book, she was stunned.

“This! This! This! What book is this?” Xiaolan was struck by lightning when she saw the cover.

The cover of the book showed a cartoon girl lying on the ground, surrounded by a group of fat and ugly men. The girl had lifeless eyes, like a broken robot, and was full of “righteousness” and covered in milk from head to toe.

Xiaolan opened the book with trembling hands. After 1.0 flipped through a few pages, his face turned paler and paler. Finally, he was frightened by the contents and screamed, “Ahhh!”

Kogoro was watching TV downstairs when he suddenly heard Xiaolan’s scream and his face changed immediately!

Oh no! Something happened to Xiaolan. Is there a criminal lurking in the bedroom?

Kogoro grabbed his chair and rushed out of the second floor, heading for the third floor. The incident happened suddenly, and he couldn’t find a weapon, so he could only use a chair to make do. He rushed into the bedroom and found Xiaolan slumped on the ground. He looked around hurriedly, “Xiaolan! Where is the gangster? Where is the gangster? Hide behind me!”

Xiaolan looked up in astonishment and looked at her father, “Dad, no, there are no criminals.”

“There are no criminals? Then why are you yelling?” Kogoro was speechless.

“I, I found…something terrible in Conan’s bag…”
