Conan: My system is lawless

Chapter 72: Cat and Mouse, Revenge on the Island

In that case.

Then Katsuhiko Minagawa is lying!

The fallen leaves are so fresh, it’s impossible that the car hasn’t been driven for two or three months.

"It's raining so hard, you should go inside and take a shower!!"

Mrs. Minagawa called everyone into the house. Kusadoshi was still upset about the curse that Megure Jusan had mentioned.

"Mr. Minagawa, when Megure Jusan called me just now, he mentioned the word curse. May I ask what happened in this castle before?"

Katsuhiko Minagawa and Mrs. Minagawa's faces changed when they heard this, and they looked at each other. From each other's eyes, Kusadokawa realized that there must be something fishy.

"Mr. Minagawa, the murderer is in the castle now. If you don't tell me everything, the murderer will definitely continue to kill people after setting up such a big trap!"

Mrs. Minagawa said nothing and left with Ajin.

Everyone's eyes fell on Katsuhiko Minagawa.

Pat~~

Katsuhiko Minagawa lit a cigarette and slowly blew out a smoke ring.

"Originally I didn't intend to hide this from you, but it's related to my father's death, so I have always found it difficult to speak up."

"Seven years ago, this suspension bridge burned down once. The situation seven years ago was just like today, with strong winds, heavy rains, and power outages. There were also dolls and notes in the house at that time, but my father didn't take it seriously. But after several nannies in the family were killed according to the predictions in the notes, my father felt something was wrong, so he drove with my mother and me to escape from the castle!"

Suzuki Sonoko discovered the flaw in Katsuhiko Minagawa's words and interrupted him quickly.

"Wait, wait, you must be talking nonsense again. Didn't you say the suspension bridge was destroyed? Where are you driving to?"

When facing Sonoko, Katsuhiko Minagawa always maintains a gentlemanly demeanor. If someone had asked him directly about this, he would probably have been scolded again.

"There is actually a small road on the left side of the castle that can be used to drive off the island, but the road is rugged and there are cliffs on both sides. If you are not careful, there is a risk of crashing. I remember that seven years ago, when the nanny was killed at home, the police could not cross the suspension bridge, so they called my father on the other side of the island. At that time, my father found three kitten dolls at home, and there was a note next to the dolls."

[Three cats had nowhere to escape, so they hid in a cave and were burned by fire! ]

"At the time, there was a strong smell of gasoline in the house. My father knew that the prophecy on the note must be true. If we didn't leave, we would all be burned to death in the castle. So he braved the heavy rain and drove us away from the island. The brakes failed on the way and the car overturned from the cliff. My father and mother both died in the car accident, and I was able to survive because they held me in their arms!"

"Isn't your mother Mrs. Minakawa?"

Katsuhiko Minagawa shook his head.

"She's just my aunt!"

Suzuki Sonoko began to ask herself soul-searching questions again.

"Then why drive instead of walking out!!"

Katsuhiko Minagawa explained patiently.

"Because this dense forest is so big, it would take a day to drive through it, and it would probably take two days to walk through it. In addition, it was raining heavily and there were wild beasts in the forest, so we didn't dare to walk!"

Kusadokawa asked.

"Are you sure the note from seven years ago said a cat?"

Katsuhiko Minagawa nodded.

"Sure, even though this happened seven years ago, I will never forget those three kitten dolls. Mr. Kusadokawa, did you find anything wrong?"

"Seven years ago it was a cat, now it's a mouse, don't you find it strange?"

Watanabe Haomei frowned slightly, her face full of confusion.

"It's not surprising. Maybe the murderer liked cats seven years ago, but he liked mice seven years later."

Kusadokawa: ...

Kusadokawa: I think you like idiots!!!

"The reason why cats catch mice is for revenge!"

"Legend has it that when the twelve zodiac animals were ranked, the cat was ranked twelfth and entered the zodiac sequence. The mouse was not selected because it was lazy and gluttonous. However, the mouse stole the candle that Chiyou gave to the Yellow Emperor, which enabled the Yellow Emperor to see through the explosives hidden in the candle. In order to thank the mouse for its contribution, the lazy mouse was ranked first in the twelve zodiac animals, and the cat, which was originally ranked twelfth, was squeezed out of the zodiac sequence!"

"Since then, cats and mice have become mortal enemies. If it was the cat seven years ago, then the murderer now deliberately placed the mouse doll in order to tell the murderer seven years ago that I am here for revenge!"

Zhidao said faintly.

"That is to say, Katsuhiko Minagawa is the survivor of the car accident seven years ago. If this is really revenge, then he is the most suspicious."

"Stop talking!!!"

Katsuhiko Minagawa was obviously a little angry and defended himself angrily.

"Mr. Kusadokawa, you are really good at making up stories. If I am the murderer, why would I seek revenge on Wakamatsu Toshihide?"

"You know, this guy wasn't even in Beika Town seven years ago!!"

Kusadokawa hurriedly explained.

"Everything depends on evidence. I just stated my speculation, not that you are the murderer!"

"Humph!!!"

Katsuhiko Minagawa snorted coldly and walked towards his room with his hands in his pockets.

"Next time, please think carefully before answering something like this. It's not a pleasant feeling to be wrongly accused of being a murderer!!"

"I have a lot of rooms in my house. You can choose a room to take a shower. I won't accompany you anymore, lest others think I'm looking for an opportunity to kill someone!"

"This guy!!!"

Naomichi gritted his teeth and watched Katsuhiko Minagawa leave, then said to Kusadogawa.

"Mr. Kusadokawa, I think your suspicion is correct. Maybe this guy is really the murderer. For my safety, how about I stay in the same room with you guys?"

Before Kusadokawa could open his mouth to refuse, Sonoko on the side spoke first.

"Da-Me!!"

"I'm soaked all over and I need to go to my room to take a shower. I'm embarrassed that you're an outsider in the room!!"

"Besides, I'm alone with my boyfriend, what the hell are you doing coming in?!"

After being scolded by Sonoko, Zhidao left angrily, and before leaving, he did not forget to say something to Kusadokawa.

"Mr. Kusadokawa, my door won't close. Come and check on me when you have time, lest I get killed by Katsuhiko!!"

Everyone found a guest room. Although it was a guest room, it was no worse than a five-star hotel. It had a separate bathing pool, toilet, and hot spring pool. As soon as Yuanzi entered the room, he couldn't wait to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

The sound of running water and the scent of shower gel invaded my lungs.

Kusadokawa lay comfortably on the bed. It should be noted that even the big beds in the living rooms of rich families were very comfortable.

"Yuanzi, do you want me to come in and keep you company? Are you scared?"

crunch.

Sonoko poked her head out and glared at Kusadokawa coquettishly.

“No peeking!!”

boom! ! !

After saying that, the bathroom door was slammed shut, and the sound of the door being locked could be clearly heard!

Nest grass~~~

This little girl is guarding against me like a thief!!!

"No matter what, I'm going to kill you!!!"

"Ah~~~~"

Yuanzi's screams echoed throughout the guest room, but fortunately the sound insulation was good and did not disturb anyone else.

After a sound of glass colliding, Kusadokawa looked at the bruise on his elbow and the intact glass door of the bathroom.

"Okay, I give up. I didn't expect the glass doors of rich people's homes are so strong!!!"
