Chapter 965: What is the truth?

"The monster was just a remote-controlled toy in disguise. In reality, a piece of glass in the upper right of that window is a convex lens. Through that kind of lens, you would see inverted objects at the right position, so it was actually falling downwards. Although the glass below is normal, it was all blocked at the time."

"Yes, the only flaw in this method is that it requires one's own cooperation, so Hawakawa, who pulled the curtains and opened the window at the time, is undoubtedly the culprit. Moreover, the head fell into a flower pot placed there in advance, and Hawakawa had to take advantage of everyone's inattention to move that flower pot to the middle of the innermost potted plants."

Conan closed his eyes and said.

"Mr. Takuya's head is still there now."

"Master..." the maid Hikara Hikaru turned pale as she listened.

"Then what about Moriya-san? If the murderer is Hawakawa, he shouldn't have been able to get out, right?" Torakura Kishiji also felt a tightness in his chest and continued to ask, "Could there be a tunnel leading out of here?"

"Of course there's no such large-scale project as a tunnel, but even if the person themselves didn't go out, they could still get Miss Moriya's corpse out."

"How is this possible?"

"These were all methods designed by Mr. Takuya in advance,"

Conan analyzed slowly, "Mr. Takuya bought a refrigerator and an inflatable children's pool, all for this purpose. Using wheels made of ice, Hawakawa strangled Miss Moriya, tied her to the wooden stake, and then installed the ice wheels on both ends of the stake like a barbell."

"When the tunnel explosion attracted the guards' attention, Hawakawa pushed the wooden stake down from the front stairs of the main gate. Then, after the ice melted, the alarm clock set for Miss Moriya went off, attracting the guards' attention and letting them discover the corpse. As for the method of making the ice wheels..."

"He probably used seaweed cans placed in the middle of the children's pool, separated the ice water with paper after layering it, and froze it into two wheels. There are still salt residues in the soil in the forest used to accelerate the melting of the ice."

The Torakura family members all looked at the silent Hawakawa Johei.

"But why did Hawakawa do this?"

"It should be related to the murder of Miss Hikaru's mother. Mr. Takuya discovered that his fiancée's death was related to that maid, Miss Shimizu."

"Just like the legend here, brothers and sisters eliminate obstacles for the sake of inheritance. This should have been Mr. Takuya's revenge, but it was utilized by Hawakawa. The evidence is in Mr. Hawakawa's pocket."

Conan searched a piece of paper from Hawakawa in front of everyone.

"This is the murder plan Mr. Takuya formulated for Miss Hikaru. The plan states that Hawakawa would be called to the Nanban room and killed, then the door would be locked and he would escape through the secret passage to create a locked-room mystery."

But it was turned around and utilized by Hawakawa, who used Mr. Takuya's phone to call Miss Hikaru over.

I'm afraid he wanted to disguise it as being attacked by her and killing her by mistake in self-defense, which is why he specifically carried this plan with him.

As for the motive, besides framing everything on Miss Hikaru, it was probably also because at the beginning of this plan, it states that Miss Hikaru is actually Mr. Takuya's biological daughter."

The Torakura family members were still in shock, especially the bespectacled woman who had always wanted to get back together with Hawakawa Johei.

"But, why was Moriya-san also killed?"

"It was to get back together with you, of course, but that was also just for the Torakura family's inheritance. By the way, he could also get Miss Moriya's inheritance."

Conan felt very good after analyzing the case.

He turned to look at Akaso Kaze.

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly and said, "Everyone must be very curious about my identity. Let me reintroduce myself: my name is Akaso Kaze."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"Y-you, you are the strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo, Akaso-sama? Why did the Master invite you over?" the old butler asked, eyes wide with surprise.

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly.

"Don't forget, my nickname is the Crime Buster."

"Back then, someone conspired to kill Hikara Hikaru's mother. I was entrusted by Torakura Takuya to handle this matter."

Akaso Kaze cast the Eye of Space on everyone in the Torakura family.

Everyone immediately showed a panicked expression.

They saw the soul of Torakura Takuya, holding a whip, lashing out again and again at the two souls who had just died.

"No, Big Brother, don't do this, we admit our mistake, we'll turn ourselves in!"

The living members of the Torakura family were so scared that they knelt down.

Akaso Kaze's prestige and everything they saw made them lose the will to resist.

Akaso Kaze took out a document and said: "This is the will left by Torakura Takuya. Hikara Hikaru is Torakura Takuya's biological daughter. All the property here, except for my commission fee, belongs to Hikara Hikaru..."

The next day, the roads were restored, and the police arrived, taking away Hawakawa Johei and those who participated in the murder of Hikara Hikaru's mother.

Conan watched the police cars speeding away and suddenly asked: "Akaso-niisan, did Hawakawa Johei really see Miss Hikaru's phone by chance? With Miss Hikaru's personality, even if she knew her mother was murdered, I'm afraid she wouldn't kill anyone, right?" ===== CHAPTER 967 =====
