Chapter 396 The truth of the incident

After taking off his glasses and hat, the man revealed his true face, a handsome face.

Although he is a bit old, he is still very handsome and has a calm and elegant temperament.

He is Conan's father, Yusaku Kudo.

"Mr. Yusaku? Why are you here?"

Hiromi showed a surprised expression.

It turns out that the man wearing sunglasses is Yukiko's husband...

If that's the case, then he is definitely not the murderer.

So, who was the person who killed my second mother?
Hiromi was a little confused.

Xiaohan said that the person who killed Machiko and the person who wanted to kill Yoshifusa were not the same person.

In other words, there were two murderers in total.

And Keiko just admitted that it was she who set up the crossbow in the cabinet and wanted to kill Yoshifusa.

Although Hiromi was very shocked after knowing this, at this moment, another matter was more important and worthy of her attention.

One of the murderers has been caught, but what about the other one? Where is he hiding?

Thinking of this, Hiromi asked directly: "Mr. Yusaku, since you have been following us all the time, do you know who killed the second mother?"

"I know." Yusaku nodded calmly, then shifted his gaze and glanced at Yukiko.

Ever since Yusaku took off his sunglasses and hat and revealed his true face, the expectation in Yukiko's eyes turned into speechlessness.

She rolled her eyes, looked at her husband, then turned her head away and snorted.

She was so expectant just now, but it turned out to be this guy. Her expectations were in vain.

Seeing Yukiko's reaction, Yusaku felt helpless, but he was used to it.

Ze Yu rubbed his eyes and yawned.

It seems that the surprise Yusaku prepared for his wife had no effect.

That's true. What man would think of himself as a surprise to his wife?

"Regarding the identity of the murderer..." Yusaku spoke slowly with a calm and unhurried expression.

He is a young novelist, not a detective, so he doesn't like to be in the spotlight as much as Kudo Shinichi.

He did not show a serious expression, nor did he raise his arm to point at anyone, nor did he ask questions in a harsh voice. He was just calm.

Just like Ze Yu.

But even so, the sense of oppression that Yusaku brings to everyone is definitely not weaker than Shinichi.

When he said who the murderer was, his tone was as if he was narrating a daily matter, but it touched everyone's heart.

Well…squirrels aren’t people, so they don’t count.

Amidst everyone's curious and anxious looks, Yusaku smiled and said, "The murderer is you, Mr. Yabuuchi Yoshifusa."

"No, I should call you Mr. 'Tanaka Hickson'."

"What? Uncle Yoshifusa is a murderer?"

"Wait...Tanaka Hixon? What's with that name? Isn't he the real Uncle Yoshifusa?"

Everyone in the Yabuuchi family looked at Yoshifusa who was sitting there with surprise and suspicion.

"I knew he was a fake!" Yixing wiped the blood from his nose, stared, and shouted loudly.

It seems that even though this guy fell hard just now, he didn't learn enough of his lesson.

Ze Yu didn't react at all, his eyes were indifferent.

But the next moment, Yixing, who had just been helped up by his sister, slipped again and fell to the ground. He cried out in pain and his nose bled again.

"It hurts, why am I so unlucky?"

"Brother? What's wrong with you?" Hiromi looked worried, as if she was frightened.

"Why did you fall twice in a row today? Otherwise, why don't you just lie down?"

"Hmm..." Yixing covered his bleeding nose, nodded pitifully, then lay on the ground obediently, not daring to move.

Hiromi turned her gaze away from her brother and shifted it to Yoshifusa.

Even facing everyone's gaze, Yifang did not panic at all. He still sat there quietly with a calm expression.

He seemed calm, but he had actually accepted his fate and was too lazy to argue.

Seeing that Yoshifusa said nothing, it seemed as if he agreed, so everyone believed Yusaku's words.

They have already determined that the 'Uncle Yifang' who appeared before them was actually an impostor.

"Could it be..." Xiuhe seemed to remember something and said in disbelief: "Jingzi, you knew that this 'Uncle Yifang' was a fake and that he killed my second mother, so you deliberately planned to kill him and avenge my second mother?"

"No." Jingzi rolled her eyes and said honestly, "I just don't like him. I don't know if he is the real Uncle Yoshifusa."

After hearing her words, everyone was speechless.

Isn't Jingzi too honest?

It seems that after admitting her crime, she simply gave up struggling and was too lazy to pretend.

Yoshifusa... No, it should be 'Tanaka Xi Kesen'.

Even at this point, Mr. Tanaka still didn't speak, and remained silent, as if isolated from the outside world.

Seeing that Mr. Tanaka was not about to speak, Yusaku spoke for him and said slowly: "Let me explain the whole story of this matter..."

Everyone listened quietly.

.........

About 30 years ago, Yoshifusa Yabuuchi left the island country and moved to Brazil.

There he met a fellow villager, who is now known as 'Tanaka Hickson'.

The two became good friends, opened a farm together and made a lot of money.

However, due to an accident, a tornado destroyed the farm, causing Yifang to lose his arm and become unable to write.

So, whenever he needed to write a letter, Yifang would ask his good friend to do it for him.

That's why the handwriting on the New Year's card that Yoshifusa sent from Brazil was exactly the same as Mr. Tanaka's.

Because they were all written by the same person.

The tornado that year caused considerable damage. It not only destroyed the farm and caused Yoshifusa to lose his arm, but also injured Mr. Tanaka's leg.

Later, after the operation, Mr. Tanaka was left with an ugly wound on his foot.

Hiromi once checked the wound on Mr. Tanaka's foot to confirm whether his identity was real or fake.

After Hiromi's examination, it was found that Mr. Tanaka did have a wound on his foot.

But what she didn't know was that the wound was not caused by the spiked shoes, but by the heavy objects picked up by the tornado.

As it happened, Mr. Tanaka had heard from Yoshifusa that when Yoshifusa was young, he had a wound on his foot from playing baseball.

Both of them had wounds on their feet, just like kiss marks.

It was precisely because of this that Mr. Tanaka took advantage of the situation and turned this coincidence into an advantage, using it to play the role of Yoshifusa without being easily exposed.
