Chapter 936: You are really just a tool

"You calm down first!" Megure stared at Kusaka's thumb, which might press the button at any time, with sweat all over his head, and swallowed his saliva, "Mr. Kusaka, why do such a thing?!"

"Of course, to avenge my father!"

Kusaka snorted coldly: "Fifteen years ago, the crew member who died in that shipwreck of Yashiro Shipping was my father!"

"But wasn't that an accident?"

"Accident? Hmph, two years ago, I heard from a colleague who came to pay respects to my late father about many suspicious points regarding that shipwreck accident."

"At that time, the president of Yashiro Shipping and the Yashiro father and daughter, who served as directors, planned to sink the cargo ship in order to defraud insurance money. To get rid of Captain Okita, who always demanded improvements in crew treatment, they roped in Kaitou, who was the first mate at the time."

Kusaka kept a distance from the crowd and looked coldly at Captain Kaitou Wataru, who had a dark face on the stage.

"Yes, Kaitou agreed to join them, let Captain Okita drink coffee spiked with sleeping pills, and then deliberately let the ship hit an iceberg while detonating the bombs prepared in advance."

"The location where the bombs were installed should have been according to the instructions of the designer, Yashiro Eito? In the end, everyone was rescued, except for the captain and my father."

"This is the truth!"

"Don't be impulsive, Kusaka," Megure comforted the somewhat hysterical Kusaka, "What else do you want? The Yashiro father and daughter have already been killed by you."

"Need I say more?" Kusaka snorted and looked at Kaitou, "I originally planned to blow up this ship like this guy and then kill him during the chaos. But now it's too late to say anything."

"Don't be impulsive, Kusaka! Take your finger off the button first."

"Less nonsense!"

Kusaka Hironari suddenly pressed the remote control button, but nothing happened.

His face changed instantly, and he hurriedly pressed it two more times, but still, nothing happened.

At this moment, a voice sounded,

"Everyone, don't panic. The bomb has already been dismantled by me."

Akaso Kaze said lightly.

"Right, it was so tense just now, I forgot Lord Akaso was here."

"With Lord Akaso here, how could the criminal possibly succeed?"

"But aren't the Yashiro father and daughter dead?"

"Haven't you heard? Lord Onmyoji is the nemesis of evil. The Yashiro father and daughter did such things, so it can be considered they got what they deserved."

Captain Kaitou suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Lord Akaso, I am guilty. I surrender and beg you, let the law punish me."

He was terrified, fearing he would end up the same way as the Yashiro father and daughter.

Everyone's eyes fell on Akaso Kaze.

Akaso Kaze walked over.

Kusaka Hironari looked at him in a panic and screamed: "You, what are you going to do? I'm not afraid of you!"

Akaso Kaze smiled: "Do you want to know the real murderer?"

"The real murderer?" Kusaka Hironari was stunned.

Akaso Kaze pointed to his neck.

"There are still scratch marks on your neck, and there are scuff marks on the back of your commemorative trench coat. You must have been accidentally counterattacked by Chairman Yashiro and pressed to the ground, right? How could you kill Chairman Yashiro like this?"

"Hmph," Kusaka climbed up while holding the stair railing and looked at Akaso Kaze with wariness, "The old man did press me and choke my neck, but it happened to be right by the open gate, so I used a shoulder throw to throw him into the sea."

"Very interesting. Do you mean to say I'm not the murderer? That Detective Mouri just now..."

Akaso Kaze said, "You were just a tool for the murderer."

"A tool?"

"Haven't you noticed yet? From the beginning, you were just the criminal pushed to the surface. The bloodstains near the gate were dripped onto the ground from a not-too-high place."

"It was when you and Chairman Yashiro were fighting that someone stabbed the Chairman in the back. The Coast Guard will soon be able to confirm this; there is a knife stuck in Chairman Yashiro's back."

"What?" Conan was slightly shocked when he heard Akaso Kaze's words.

He hadn't thought of these things yet. If there really was a knife stuck in Chairman Yashiro's back, it meant there was another murderer behind the scenes who helped Kusaka Hironari at a critical moment.

"And regarding President Kijie," Akaso Kaze continued, "The one who murdered President Kijie was also someone else."

"Nonsense!" The veins on Kusaka's forehead jumped, "I clearly killed that woman with my own hands before coming down."

"Is that really the case?"

Akaso Kaze smiled: "There was fake blood plasma wiped next to the corpse. Although it looks a lot like blood, it's not real blood. You only need to check the blood clots splashed on your hair."

"Ho, how is it possible?" Kusaka's eyes widened, and he stood there stupidly, "I did kill that woman. She had just finished taking a bath at the time."

"Did you see her face? I was very strange when the body was found. The towel happened to cover her face. You shouldn't have seen her face, right?"

Akaso Kaze said: "You don't know anything at all. Without someone else's help, you couldn't have committed the crime successfully. You are really just a tool." ===== CHAPTER 938 =====
