Chapter 763 Why Don’t I Suspect You
After waiting for a long time, Chu Ming did not see Conan and Xiaolan coming out, so he did not wait outside anymore. He turned around and jumped down from the tree, following the focus to find Toba Hatsuho. On the way, he also encountered the body of Seikanji Tatsuro.
Apparently, she was killed by Toba Hatsuho using the same method.
Chu Ming accepted the magnetic field with satisfaction and continued moving forward.
When he found Toba Hatsuho, she was standing on the second floor of the newly built annex, wearing a mask and looking down at the Noh Theater opposite.
Chu Ming stood at the stairs and followed her gaze. He happened to see Conan and the others looking up in the direction of Toba Hatsuho. However, from their angle, they definitely could not see Chu Ming.
After Toba Hatsuho attracted Conan and the others' attention and left the window, Chu Ming spoke up, "Did you deliberately lead them up?"
Seeing that it was Chu Ming, Toba Hatsuho probably wanted to improve her impression score, so she looked over complacently and said, "Yes, Lord Granburch. And I specially invited this famous detective. I can't let them die in the fire, so I stand here in Mibuki's clothes to show them the way out.
I have already killed Mibu and Izumi. When they arrive at this annex, I will call him and put on a show to show him that it was all Mibu who did it, and that I accidentally killed her in order to protect the director."
As she spoke, a glimmer of pride flashed in Toba Hatsuho's eyes. "If a detective who has connections with the police comes to endorse me and prove my innocence, the police will not do anything to me. Instead, they will think that I was forced. Then it will be more logical for me to inherit this art museum and those Noh masks."
The more Chu Ming listened, the more speechless he felt: "Did you send the letter that Maori Kogoro received?"
I used to think that Toba Hatsuho was very efficient, but now I realize that it was because of her brain.
Can you guess why he became a famous detective? Is he so confident that the things he did would not be discovered?
"Yes, I came up with this brilliant idea when I found out that the three of them wanted to kill the director." Toba Hatsuho was obviously very confident in her plan.
"Then why don't they suspect you?" Chu Ming was amused by her amazing train of thought. "You are the only one alive in the entire villa. You are the last vested interest. You are the first suspect of this group of detectives."
"I did it perfectly. Even if they suspect me, they have no evidence." Toba Hatsuho was a little unconvinced. "Under my suggestion, Mibui bought a carving knife to kill Izumi. There are traces of everything. Even if the police investigate, they will only find that it was Mibui who bought the murder weapon himself.
I made a special prop that could put two skewers together to form the shape of a carving knife, which I used to kill Izumi. Then I stabbed the skewer into Mibui's heart, making it look like I accidentally killed Mibui in order to protect the curator.
Even if the police investigate the wound marks, they will think that the wound on the curator's body was indeed caused by the carving knife, and the carving knife was bought by Mibu and held in her hand, with only her fingerprints. I have no obvious motives, and even reported their behavior, invited Detective Mori to come, and saved Izumi several times with those detectives. What can they suspect me of?"
The two walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the crime scene set up by Toba Hatsuho. Izumi was lying on her side in the swimming pool with a pool of blood on her chest, while Mibu Momoyono was lying on her back in the pool with a carving knife in her hand and a barbecue skewer stuck in her chest.
Toba Hatsuho pointed to the edge of the swimming pool and said, "I will fall there and pretend to faint, and then wait for Maori Kogoro to come over. I will say that my sister assassinated the director and wanted to kill me. I fought hard, but accidentally-"
Looking at Toba Hatsuho's excited eyes, Chu Ming leaned over and picked up a small cylindrical wooden block floating on the water. There was a V-shaped groove in the middle of the wooden block. He turned around and looked at Toba Hatsuho: "You put the props you specially made on the water like this? Are you afraid that the detective won't be able to find your flaws?"
Toba Hatsuho's smug smile froze: "I—uh, I—"
"Since this is not an assassination, but exposing yourself to the police, you have to pay attention to all the details." Chu Ming picked up the two wooden blocks for her and walked towards the fallen Director Izumi. "Besides, don't you check after killing someone? This old man is not dead yet."
After all, he only received Mibui's magnetic field, and Director Izumi's magnetic field did not appear.
"What?" Toba Hatsuho was a little incredulous. "That's impossible. With my strength, how could he possibly—"
"You killed unimportant people one after another, but the most important target is still alive. Aren't you putting the cart before the horse?" Chu Ming squatted down and pulled out a piece of armor from Izumi's collar. His cold eyes swept over Toba Hatsuho and his tone was grim. "He has been assassinated so many times, doesn't he know how to wear some protection?"
Toba Hatsuho was unable to refute and said hesitantly: "Sir, then, then I will now..."
If she stabbed again, she might not be able to stab along the same trajectory as before, and it would be easy for the police to discover during the autopsy that the wound was actually stabbed twice. However, if she just left it alone, the mission would obviously fail.
Seeing Toba Hatsuho not knowing what to say, Chu Ming reached into his pocket, then quietly took out a red and white pill from the system backpack, raised his hand and threw it to her: "The drug developed by the organization will not be detected to be toxic after taking it. At that time, Izumi's cause of death will most likely be determined to be death from excessive blood loss or cardiac arrest caused by injury."
Watching Toba Hatsuho take the pill and put it into Director Izumi's mouth, Chu Ming said indifferently: "This mission is judged to be unqualified. I have helped you enough. If you can get away from the police and detectives, I will give you another chance. I hope you won't make so much trouble for yourself next time. The more you do, the more mistakes you make."
Toba Hatsuho stared at Director Izumi until he lost vital signs, then she quietly looked up and glanced at Chu Ming.
She naturally understood what Chu Ming had not said. If she could escape the charges, she would get another chance. However, if she could not escape the charges and was caught by the police, then in order to ensure that the organization's intelligence would not be leaked, the invigilator in front of her would kill her directly.
"Yes, Lord Granburch, I understand."
Toba Hatsuho lowered her head and responded with a respectful look. She had completely lost her previous arrogance. She originally thought that she was one of the best in the training camp.
In addition, she thought that her plan was flawless, but Granburch only took a quick glance and found so many problems. He didn't even need to get close to Izumi Jisaburo to know that he was not dead...
As expected, as a core code member, she still has a lot to learn.
