Chapter 260

To this, Ren Amamiya shook his head calmly.

"These contents are things that the murderer and the deceased each know. Now the murderer and the deceased actually already know who the other is; for me, this is giving both sides a chance to choose again."

"This is a choice based on human nature; if the final result still hasn't changed, that is also human nature."

Giving both sides a chance to choose again... choices of human nature... this person’s perspective is really high enough.

Conan Edogawa could hear Ren Amamiya’s indifferent attitude; just on this point, he felt Ren Amamiya was a bit pretentious, and even stood in a position that was too high.

This point really had a bit of a charlatan flavor. The way of speaking was also very much like a fortune-teller who says half and leaves half.

Conan Edogawa didn't feel anything about this; after all, those who practice fortune-telling should all be like this, right?

But what made him feel uncomfortable was that this person had already clarified who the murderer and the deceased were, yet was still acting as an incomprehensible riddle-maker here.

However, Conan Edogawa still temporarily shelved this emotion that made him feel uncomfortable; after all, everything Ren Amamiya said was based on the fortune-telling he couldn't believe.

He couldn't be too emotional because of the words the other party said based on fortune-telling; after all, the operation of predicting the deceased and the murderer in advance was also a bit weird.

And from Ren Amamiya saying such things so openly, his thoughts were also easy to guess, which was to change the fate of the deceased and the murderer.

It’s just that Ren Amamiya stated the topic, letting the deceased and the murderer change themselves, instead of poking out the other party’s name directly.

Perhaps, this was also the reason for giving the deceased and the murderer a choice.

Conan Edogawa could roughly understand Ren Amamiya’s approach, but he felt that such an approach might cause a set fact that would not change.

"Not saying the name... is it also to give them room for redemption?"

Kogoro Mouri’s rapidly running brain also quickly understood the reason why the kid in front of him didn't explain it straightforwardly.

Ren Amamiya didn't have any rebuttal to this; this was also the choice opportunity he gave, just starting to collect the tarot cards on the table.

"Mr. Mouri can take my words as a joke, or as a revelation. But I think forcibly changing others' choices is meaningless; only a thorough change in oneself can possibly change the set fate."

"It’s just a pity that Mr. Mouri should have lost the opportunity to find the answer through questioning. When I stated the fortune-telling content, the deceased and the murderer should have already made a decision in their hearts, and they will definitely not say their situation."

"If you want to change the fate of these two, Mr. Mouri also needs to spend more effort. Perhaps you can talk to your old classmates, but I think you need to have enough understanding to judge whether someone is deliberately hiding it."

"Ah, right, there is also a hint for Mr. Mouri. Don't think about using the detective way to find clues; sometimes the clues obtained may be fatal. The only way to change others' fate is to find the corresponding person and talk about the topic clearly."

While speaking, Ren Amamiya had already collected all the tarot cards on the table, and they had all disappeared from his hands, just like a magical trick.

After saying these reminder words, Ren Amamiya stood up from his seat, and he nodded slightly to Jun Omura who had just moved aside for him.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Jun Omura reacted, and returned the salute subconsciously.

"Let’s go back, Ran."

"Mm. Dad, I’ll come over later."

As Ren Amamiya’s voice fell, Ran Mouri, who had pressed her father into his seat, immediately followed.

The two quickly walked out of the hot spring inn, and until they were completely out of the field of vision near the hot spring inn, Ran Mouri spoke.

"Ren, the deceased is Aunt Yumi, right?"

"Mm. Heartbeat sound?"

"And breathing sound, Aunt Yumi’s pupils constricted, and her lips were bitten tight when she heard those words. Although the change wasn't big, it could be observed."

Given that overly fast heartbeat speed, Ran Mouri almost instantly confirmed the identity of the deceased.

Compared to the identity of the deceased, she was more surprised by the identity of the murderer.

"The murderer is Uncle Nakado?"

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly.

"Then Uncle Nakado and Aunt Yumi have been in love for the past 18 years?"

Ran Mouri made a stunned sound in disbelief, but there was more incomprehension in her voice.

"Then does Uncle Nakado know about Aunt Yumi’s mental problems?"

Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly.

"He doesn't know."

"Doesn't know? Dating for 18 years and still doesn't know about Aunt Yumi’s mental illness?"

Ran Mouri couldn't believe her ears.

Ren Amamiya shook his head with a smile, holding Ran’s hand.

"Ran, if you were almost assaulted in the past, would you tell me about such a thing?"

"I would of course... not... ah!"

Almost instantly, Ran Mouri wanted to hide her dark history from the past, and her subconscious answer also made her react.

"So, Aunt Yumi has always been hiding her past from Uncle Nakado?"

"That is the biggest stain for any woman; even if the final result was successfully resisting the assault, how can one talk about such a thing? That is a scar; even if it heals, it will leave a mark."

Ren Amamiya knew this point too well.

Any woman, after facing such a thing, couldn't talk about it without burden afterward.

Ran Mouri couldn't help but speak:

"Then does that mean after you helped open the topic, the result of Aunt Yumi and Uncle Nakado will change?"

But this expectation was coldly shattered by Ren Amamiya.

"It cannot change. The result is already set; when that gentleman decided to solve it once and for all, they were destined to have no hope. What’s more, all the hope of that lady was completely shattered just now; she also couldn't continue to face that gentleman."

Ran Mouri was also hit by the cruel, real words. But she also understood very well that the words Ren said had already determined that the two could never go back.

Waiting for Ran’s emotions to get a bit better, Ren Amamiya continued the topic just now:

"How devoted they were for the past 18 years, that gentleman will have such intense resentment at this moment. 18 years of feelings could not get any response; disappointed, he chose to give up, but the result turned into the fiancée he had only been in contact with for half a year being threatened by letters."

"Unwilling to accept the proposal, and after actively giving up, it led to the fiancée being threatened now. Regardless of whether that lady has mental illness, that gentleman has already endured to the limit."

"This is not the fault of either side, but the coincidence of fate caused the current irreversible situation."

From the perspective of a bystander, that gentleman and lady actually have no fault, but the things that happened to them caused the current situation.

"The fate of separation cannot be changed. But the fate of one dead and one imprisoned might be changed."
