"Police department, I have basically understood what happened..." Matsuda came to the three of them and expressed his opinion. "In this case, Mr. Xiuchen can be said to be the key person. We must find him first!"

"Actually, we have been searching, but there is still no sign of Mr. Xiuchen..." Mu Mu sighed slightly.

"Boy Matsuda..." Maori also spoke. "After the incident, I searched with the housekeeper, but I couldn't find it..."

"Have you searched inside and outside the villa?" Matsuda asked in surprise.

"That's natural!" Mao Li looked proud. In order to find someone, his detective Mo Li Kogoro even climbed a tree.

"Then..." Matsuda pointed to the two daughters of Nagato's family. "How about them?"

"This..." A look of embarrassment flashed across Maori's face. "That's not..."

"What do you mean? Do you suspect that we hid Hideomi?" Nagato Nobuko's face was not very good-looking.

She was a little happy when the young man entered the door just now, but now...

"It's hard to say..." Matsuda pretended to sigh. "The deceased is your sister-in-law, and the murderer is your own younger brother. We don't know how you will choose..."

"It's the same reason..." Matsuda looked at Changmen Kangjiang. "The deceased is your husband, and the murderer is also your own younger brother. How would you choose? This, we don't know..."

"..." The two girls opened their eyes wide and were speechless for a while.

Megure and Maoli nodded while thinking, "Well, it does make sense..."

Matsuda twitched the corner of his mouth, he made up all of this, there's no reason for it.

Miwako lowered her head and pondered for a while, then looked at Matsuda and said, "Jinping, what you said can only be made sense on the basis that the murderer is Mr. Hidetomi, wait, can it be said...?! "

"bgo~!" Matsuda snapped his fingers. "It's still Miwako who is smarter!"

The woman rolled her eyes, what time is it, can't you just say it straight...

Regarding the conversation between the two, everyone was stunned, only one person's tense face slightly relaxed, as if a big stone in his heart had fallen.

And all of this, Matsuda saw it all.

No matter how he guessed, he would never have imagined that the prisoner would be her...

Even though he was about to marry into the Nagato family, he killed his brother-in-law-to-be and even blamed his fiancé. Why?

"Go!" Before Miwako could react, Matsuda took her little hand and ran towards the door.

"Wait, Brother Matsuda..." Seeing the two of them running out of the room, Mu Mu stretched out his hand with a helpless look on his face. "Really, we haven't figured it out yet..."

"I'll leave it to you first..."

Outside the door, when two famous detectives passed by, Matsuda didn't forget to say something, and he didn't care about their responses, and then he ran towards the stairs.

Looking at the back of the man leaving, Conan's heart is very complicated.

Matsuda, who knows the organization so well, do you still say that you are not the person of the organization?

Outside the villa, Mei Hezi ran along and asked, "What's the matter, Zhenping?"

"I need to investigate something, I have to go back to the Metropolitan Police Department..." Matsuda replied while running.

"What is it?" Miwako asked suspiciously.

"It's about Miss Hinata's life..." Matsuda didn't mean to hide anything.

"Miss Hinata?" Miwako was startled, and then said. "I know something about her..."

"Oh?"

.......

On the expressway, inside a Lamborghini driving fast, Matsuda gradually understood what had happened.

"So that's what Ms. Hinata said about the bond of fire..." Matsuda asked while holding the steering wheel with both hands, looking ahead. "What was the cause of the fire?"

"Huh? It must have been an accident..." Miwako was taken aback for a moment, and then said in surprise. "Wait, you mean the fire was man-made?"

"It's hard to say, so we need to investigate..." Matsuda stared forward. "If I'm not wrong, there must be something we don't understand..."

"But, can you still find out what happened 20 years ago?" Mei Hezi looked at the young man and asked.

"Well..." Matsuda paused for a moment, then smiled wryly. "Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and see if you can find old newspapers from that year..."

"Are you sure?" Mei Hezi slightly opened her beautiful eyes.

"Then what else can we do?" Matsuda shrugged slightly.

Miwako sighed lightly, it seems that tonight is another sleepless night.

"Speaking of which..." Miwako asked out the doubts in her heart. "How do you know Miss Hinata is the murderer?"

"It's very simple. Although I don't know if there is any inside story about what happened 20 years ago, one thing is certain, that is, Mr. Hidetomi rescued the young Miss Hinata from the fire..." Matsuda smiled . "After the case, everyone thought that Mr. Hidetomi was the murderer, and when I implicitly put forward the idea that Mr. Hidetomi was not the murderer, only Ms. Hinata's expression was the most intriguing, with relaxation, bitterness, struggle, etc. In short, it was very interesting. complex..."

"Ah la~" Miwako said with her eyelids down. "You look very carefully~"

Matsuda sneered a few times, then concentrated on driving.

It's late at night, the newspaper office won't be closed...

Maybe...

Can you go back to sleep and come back to investigate tomorrow morning?

===Chapter 179 The Corpse at the Bottom of the Pool===

Time passed quickly, and the night passed like this.

When Matsuda and Miwako investigated the truth of the fire 20 years ago all night, everyone in the Nagato family was not idle, and they were still struggling to find Mr. Hidetomi.

"Ha~~~" Early in the morning, several yawns sounded, and Mori, Conan and Hattori stood in front of the gate sleepily with panda eyes on their faces.

Conan yawned and said, "The whole night has passed, and Officer Matsuda and Officer Sato still haven't come back..."

"What else did that guy find? Although we also speculate that Mr. Hidetomi is not the murderer, there should be no other breakthrough besides looking for Mr. Hidetomi..." Hattori touched his chin and said.

"Who knows what that brat is thinking..." Mao Li twisted his waist and stretched his muscles and bones twice. "The top priority is, we still need to find Mr. Xiuchen first, but it's strange to say, why can't we find a good living person?"

"Actually, there are only two possibilities. Either the anti-theft camera is malfunctioning, or there is something else that we have overlooked..." Hattori thought.

"The camera is fine..."

The three of them looked up, and it was Meguro and Takagi who came over.

"I also suspected that there was something wrong with the camera, so I asked brother Takagi to check it, but he didn't find any problems..." Mu Mu looked at the three of them and said.

"In this case, there is only the second possibility..." Hattori frowned slightly.

"However, we have searched inside and outside the villa several times. Is there any place we have overlooked?"

Hearing Maori's words, everyone had to fall into thinking again.

Mu Mu pressed his hat and sighed silently.

At this time, I don't know where Brother Matsuda and Miwako went...

.........

On the other side, in a local newspaper office, a ray of sunlight penetrated through the window, gradually waking up the woman from her sleep.

"Hmm~" Miwako opened her eyes slightly, and looked around in confusion.

"Are you awake?" Sensing the movement from beside him, Matsuda put away the newspaper in his hand and turned his head to look at it. "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No need~" Miwako lifted her head from the man's shoulder, her little face was still slightly flushed, and at this moment, she found that she was still wearing a black suit jacket.

At this moment, a warm current flowed through the woman's heart.

"Are you hungry? Why don't we go out for breakfast before I finish reading this newspaper?" Matsuda shook the newspaper in his hand and smiled slightly.

"Hmm!" Miwako wrapped her body in a black suit jacket, then looked down at the piles of old newspapers around her, and asked softly, "Have you still not found it?"

"It's not easy to find old newspapers from 20 years ago~" Matsuda sighed softly.

Suddenly, with a "click", the door of the newspaper office opened, and an old man with a gray beard and a bamboo hat came in.

"Huh?" As soon as he came in, the old man saw newspapers all over the place. Then, when he looked around, he saw two pairs of eyes staring at him silently. Seeing this scene, the old man with white beard was frightened on the spot. Sit on the ground.

"You, who are you? Are you thieves?!"

"Eh..." Matsuda twitched the corners of his mouth, and the dignified detective of the first search section turned into a thief in other people's mouth...

"Don't be afraid, old man..." Mei Hezi stood up slightly, walked in front of the old man, and slowly helped the old man up. "We are the police, and the reason why we are here is to investigate some things from old newspapers..."

"Police, police?" the old man asked in surprise.

Matsuda also put down the newspaper, stood up and explained: "Don't worry, old man, we got permission from President Ito..."

"So that's how it is..." The white-bearded old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly said in a daze. "You looking for old newspapers?"

The two glanced at each other, then looked at the old man and said, "Yes..."

The old man touched his white beard, smiled and said: "I don't have any other hobbies, but I have the habit of collecting old newspapers. It just so happens that I have a good relationship with the presidents of several nearby newspapers, and they will also Give me some discarded old newspapers from the newspaper office..."

The more they listened, the brighter Matsuda and Miwako's eyes became.

At this moment, a ray called hope grew in the hearts of the two of them.

......

At the same time, by the small pond outside the Nagato family villa, the eldest daughter of the Nagato family, Nobuko Nagato, and the secretary, Ms. Hinata, quarreled again.

"What did you say?" Nagato Nobuko said with his hands on his waist, with a grim expression. "Do you think it's because of me that Xiuchen didn't get married?"

"No, it's not..." Hinata Yuki shook his hand and quickly explained. "I, I just think that what he likes is a gentle woman like eldest sister..."

Before she could finish speaking, there was a "snap" sound. The woman clutched her left cheek and fell to the side of the pool. The pen in the woman's hand also fell into the pool because she couldn't hold it firmly.

"Hmph!" Nagato Nobuko folded her arms, not caring at all about what she had just done. "This time, no one will stop for you, right?"

Hinata Yuki didn't care about the woman's cynicism, but went directly over the eaves of the pool, trying to jump into the water.

"Miss Hyuga!" Xiao Lanhe and Ye Yanji quickly grabbed the woman.

"Miss Hinata, don't go down!" The old housekeeper also stopped him. "The water in this pond is very deep!"

"But!" Hinata Xing said sadly, looking at the water. "That pen is a souvenir from my father, if it is gone..."

"Drain all the water immediately!" Mu Mu immediately said to the old housekeeper.

"Yes! I'll go right away!"

As the water in the pond gradually passed away, first a pile of dead branches appeared, then some aquatic plants, and then, a person's shoe tip...

After the water in the pond was completely drained, what appeared before everyone was the corpse of a young man lying on the bottom of the pond with scars on his face.

"Ah~~~!" Xiaolan hugged Heye, looking at the corpse at the bottom of the pool with a look of fear.

"Why, how...?!" Hinata Yuki covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Quick!" Mu Mu turned his head and shouted at Takagi. "Go find someone from the forensics class!"

"Hi!"

After receiving the news, not only the staff of the Forensics Section, but also the second lady of Nagato's family, Nagato Kangjiang, also arrived.

Originally, because of her husband's death, she stayed up all night last night, but now, even her own brother died, and the woman was extremely sad.

"Why? Why did things turn out like this? Brother, why did brother Xiuchen die...?!" Changmen Kangjiang wiped away his tears, his face full of pain.

Mu Mu sighed, then turned to the forensic personnel and asked: "Mr. Xiuchen's estimated time of death is..."

"According to my inference, the deceased died about half a day to a day ago..." the forensic officer reported.

"Half a day to a day..." Mu Mu rubbed his chin and pondered. "Mr. Guangming was pushed off the balcony by the murderer at about ten o'clock last night, that is, ten hours before now. As for Mr. Xiuchen, if he jumped into this pond and committed suicide before our police arrived, then everything It fits all…”

"However, the cause of death of the deceased was not due to drowning. The specific results will not be known until further autopsy tests..." the forensic officer continued.

"Huh?" Mu Mu was slightly surprised. "Didn't you drown?"

"As far as I can judge, it should have jumped into the water after taking the poison..." At this point, the forensic officer walked to the corpse and picked up a stone. "And the reason why the body did not surface was because stones were placed in the dead man's clothes..."

===Chapter 180 The truth about the fire 20 years ago===

"Then, Mr. Xiuchen committed suicide by taking poison first, and then jumped into the pool with a stone in his arms?!" Mu Mu slightly opened his eyes wide, a little surprised.
