Chapter 297: The Nagato Group’s Talent Dwindling

The reason why Haibara Ai could easily recognize his identity is very simple.

Because half of the corpse's face was disfigured, while the undisfigured half looked somewhat younger.

It just fits Nagato Hideomi's age and experience.

Who else could the disfigured young man be in this villa other than Hideomi?

Speaking of which, the huge Nagato family actually had two murders in one day, and the two most important heirs died, achieving a "double kill" achievement...

It's really sad!

I have to say that Ze Yu's prediction was very accurate. Not only was the Nagato Group in a state of transition, but it was directly cut off!

The two male heirs are dead, leaving only two female heirs, and both of them are not worth using...

The Nagato family is completely lacking in talent. If they cannot get some fresh blood as soon as possible, they will sooner or later disappear from the world and be eliminated by other forces.

"Hideomi's body is lying in the fountain?"

After hearing what Haibara Ai said, Miss Hinata's expression turned pale and her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe this reality.

Inspector Megure and Uncle Mori looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

"let's go!"

.........

After a while, next to the fountain.

Inspector Megure and Uncle Mori worked together to carry Hideomi's body out from the bottom of the fountain and placed it on the ground.

It seemed that not too long had passed since Hideomi's death. His body had not decayed and still retained its appearance in life, except that his skin was a little pale.

Even though half of his face was disfigured, it was still clear that he was a handsome guy.

"Why? Why did it turn out like this?" The kind-hearted Miss Kang Jiang knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Why did Brother Xiuchen die?"

Uncle Maori asked Inspector Megure: "Did he commit suicide out of fear of the crime?"

"No." Inspector Megure replied seriously: "Looking at the appearance of his body, it is obvious that he has been dead for some time, so Mr. Guangming was definitely not killed by him."

"Otherwise, even if Mr. Hideomi committed suicide by jumping into the fountain immediately after killing someone, it would be impossible for him to become like this in such a short time."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Miss Kang Jiang burst into tears and was distraught: "Who killed my husband and elder brother?"

She lost her husband and elder brother in just one day, and she was really about to collapse.

Even the hot-tempered Nobuko fell silent, with an expression of pity on her face.

"When did Mr. Hideomi die?" Inspector Megure asked the forensic doctor behind him.

"According to my inference, the deceased died within half a day," the forensic doctor replied.

"Also, the deceased did not die from drowning, but rather from taking poison." The forensic doctor squatted down and took out some stones from Mr. Hideomi's pocket.

"As for why the body did not float to the surface, it was because the deceased had placed stones inside his clothes."

"Also, I found this note on the body." The forensic doctor handed a note to Inspector Megure.

Officer Megure opened the folded paper, looked at the words on it, and read: "...I am not qualified to marry you. In order to make up for the sins I have committed against you, I would rather choose death." Uncle Maori continued: "This is a suicide note. Is it written to Miss Hinata?"

Officer Megure handed over the note in his hand: "Ms. Hinata, is this Mr. Hideomi's handwriting?"

Miss Hinata took the note and said dejectedly, "It should be his... Well, I'll go to his room and find his handwriting for comparison."

Miss Hinata ran towards the villa. Ze Yu looked at her back quietly and sighed, "There is one more sad person in this city."

"The people of the Nagato family don't seem to have very good luck." Huiyuan Ai said quietly: "The death of two men means that two women have lost their partners."

“Whenever life and death separate, the living will inherit the pain of the dead and continue to live.”

"Now is not the time to discuss this, right?" Conan's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Xiao Yu, do you have any clues?"

"A clue?" Ze Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Hideomi committed suicide."

"Who threw him into the water?" Conan asked.

"Please, you are a great detective. For questions like this, you should think about them yourself and don't bother an ordinary kid like me." Ze Yu rolled his eyes at him and didn't give any more clues, leaving Conan to solve it himself.

"An ordinary child..." Conan's mouth twitched.

If even Ze Yu can be considered an ordinary child, then isn't Conan, the fake child, even more ordinary?

Unable to get any clues from Sawaha, Conan reached out and tugged at the corner of Hattori Heiji's clothes, and the two of them walked to an empty corner and whispered.

Sawaha ignored the special friendship between the two detectives and walked towards the villa, and Haibara Ai quickly followed.

Sawaha first went to Miss Hinata's room and poured the liquid in the kettle on the table into the toilet.

Huihara Ai smelled an unpleasant odor and frowned: "Is this... the smell of gasoline?"

"Yeah, that silly girl is having a hard time." Ze Yu shook his head and added, "By the way, she looks a bit like you, Ai, when you grow up."

"It's just that the hair color is a bit similar." Haibara Ai said quietly without comment.

Her character is not as weak as Miss Hyuga. Miss Hyuga doesn't dare to fight back when she is bullied. If someone dares to bully Huiyuan Ai, she will definitely not endure it silently, but will...

No, with Ze Yu here, no one in this world can bully her.

Not even the Black Organization can do that.

Thinking of this, Haibara Ai felt a little warm in her heart and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Ze Yu turned around and said with a smile: "Let's go catch that silly girl."

"Yeah." Huibara Ai nodded.

.........

Miss Hinata said goodbye to Inspector Megure and searched for Hideomi's handwriting in Hideomi's room. Then, she was blocked by Sawaha and the other man at the door.

"Two little friends, what do you want to talk to me about?" Miss Hinata smiled gently.

"There is indeed something I need to trouble you with, sister. I want to ask you a question." Ze Yu said with a sweet smile.

Miss Hinata was somewhat healed, and her tone became softer: "What's the question? If my sister knew, I would definitely answer it truthfully."
