Chapter 104 Pig-like teammates
Judging from the expressions of Kogoro and the others, Xia Ri had already guessed the result in her heart, but he still asked without giving up.
"How is it!? Is Xiao Wu in the warehouse?"
Kogoro shook his head, his face looking very ugly.
"He has run away."
As soon as Kogoro said that, everyone present changed their expressions.
"What? He ran away!?"
Xia Ri quickly turned his head to look at Conan. If Kogoro just went to check the situation just now, Conan would have gone to explore the details, and his observation would definitely be more detailed than Kogoro.
Seeing Xia Ri turn her eyes to her, Conan nodded to Xia Ri and said, "When we rushed over, the door of the warehouse had been opened, and I checked it, there was no sign of damage to the door lock..."
Summer raised her eyebrows.
"In other words, it is very likely that another person secretly let Xiao Wu go?"
"Other person? Are you saying he has accomplices!?" Mariko Umoto said in surprise.
Xia Ri shrugged: "Apart from this reason, I really can't think of why Xiao Wu escaped from that warehouse."
"Hey... this is a problem." Kogoro rubbed his temples and said with a headache, "If someone really helped him, who would it be? You and Xiaolan were the first to discover the body, right? Did you see anyone at that time?"
"No." Xia Ri thought about every detail carefully in her mind, but after thinking about it several times, she still found nothing, so she could only say helplessly, "We heard some strange sounds at the beginning, but when we arrived at this deck, the dragon man had been killed."
"Strange sound?" Kogoro was stunned.
Xia Ri explained: "We first heard Long Man's scream, and then heard the sound of heavy objects falling into the water. Now, based on the wound on Long Man's forehead, the sound of falling into the water should be caused by the murderer who killed Long Man and threw the weapon into the sea."
"So that's it." Kogoro finally glanced at Yu Benqiujiang who had been staying in Xia Ri's arms with envious eyes, and then continued, "The deck is no longer safe now, no... the entire ship is already very unsafe. Xiaowu and his accomplices are very likely staring at us in secret. I think we should all go back to the restaurant immediately."
After hearing what Kogoro said, everyone suddenly felt a chill behind them, as if they were really cold eyes watching them in a dark corner.
"Is it necessary to do this?" Mariko Umoto said guiltily, "It was my father who caused his father to go bankrupt and commit suicide. Now his revenge has been avenged, but there is no reason to kill us again!"
"This is not necessarily true." Kogoro pointed to the body of Ryumoto, and said, "The murderer who killed Ryumoto is likely to be Xiaowu. Perhaps Xiaowu's plan is to kill all of you without leaving any of you, so that the Uzumaki family... will destroy the family!"
...
In the restaurant, everyone sat at a few tables without saying a word. The atmosphere was dull and depressing, and only the sobs of the benqiu River echoed from time to time in the restaurant.
Maybe she couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore, Kogoro coughed gently, and took the lead in breaking the dullness.
"Although the boat will be docked in less than three hours, it is not a solution for us to sit like this! Xiao Wu didn't know where he was hiding, and now another accomplice appeared, which is really unsettling!"
Xia Ri's eyes turned around these members of the Yu Ben family and asked, "I wonder where you were before the incident?"
Hearing Xia Ri's words, Mariko Omoto was stunned at first, then showed an unbelievable look on her face, and asked back: "Wait a minute! Do you actually doubt us? We are all surnamed Omoto! How could it kill our family!?"
"What's impossible?" Xia Ri shook her head for granted. "No matter who it is, as long as there is no one who is not present to prove it, it is questionable."
Not bad!
Looking at Xia Ri's serious look, Kogoro smiled with relief. This kid is talking more and more like a real detective now! It is worthy of being by my side for so long, and he has indeed made progress!
Seeing what else Mariko wanted to say in the other table, Yoshiji Yumoto was interrupted by her.
"Okay sister! Now is not the time to care about these things. This little brother is right. If you want to find Xiao Wu's accomplices, you must first prove your innocence!"
After hearing what Omoto Suji said, Omoto Mariko was right when she thought about it. If she didn't show her innocence at this time, wouldn't she be misunderstood as Xiaowu's accomplice?
"Okay OK, I get it..." Mariko Umamoto said impatiently, "After using dinner in the restaurant, my husband and I returned to our room together. Until we heard the shouts of Xia Jiang, we were very curious and then ran to the deck again."
Xia Ri asked again: "Will you stay in your room before?"
"This..." Kitaro Yumoto glanced at his wife with some fear and said hesitantly, "No...No... I went to the bathroom halfway through and stayed in it for several minutes..."
"You idiot!" When Mariko Yumoto heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and stared at Yumoto Kitaro, shouting, "No need to say anything about going to the bathroom. The proof of our absence is just not true if you say this!?"
Kitaro Omoto was timid and wanted to say something, but because of his wife's tyranny, he didn't dare to open his mouth again.
Xia Ri found it funny on the side. He found that the man named Kitaro Omoto was really interesting. Whether it was seeing that they were pitiful, they were invited to board the boat at the risk of being insulted by the Kitaro Omoto, or this time he did not fear power and destroyed his and Mariko Omoto's absence with his own hands, it was enough to show that under the short and fat appearance of Kataro Omoto, he actually had a kind and fair heart.
But for Mariko Omoto, in her heart, I'm afraid that her stupid husband has now been regarded as a "pig-like stupid teammate".
Next, Xia Ri turned her gaze to several other people.
Seeing Xia Ri turn her eyes toward her, Yoshinori spread his hands and smiled, saying, "No need to ask. Although I also returned to my room after dinner, no one can testify for me, so my absent proof is also unfair!"
After hearing what Omoto Yoshiji said, Yomoto Ichiro on the other side quickly said, "I... I am too. I returned to my room after dinner, but... but no one can prove it to me..."
Oh? No absent proof?
