For Fangzheng and Conan, there were still many doubts about the Six Seals Island incident that had not been solved so far.
The first point of doubt was whether or not Beador really existed.
The clues so far proved that … it was very likely that she really existed.
Because there was indeed a guesthouse on Six Seals Island, but Conan also said that the guesthouse seemed to have been unoccupied for more than a decade.
Therefore, this meant that the guesthouse ten years ago was occupied.
The question was, who lived in the guesthouse at that time?
There was also a second doubt, and that was … Sayo Yasuda.
Fangzheng had never seen this person on the list.
But this time, Conan gave him an answer.
"I asked Mr. Rangji, and he said that Sayo is Sayin's real name, and Sayin is the name she used when she was a servant."
"So, Sayo Yasuda is actually Sayin?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and thought.
"So, who is Jiayin?"
"Mr. Rangji said that she's Sayin's brother …"
"Impossible, there's no such person on the list on the island."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"Now the mystery of Sayo Yasuda has been solved. Even if the servants don't use their real names, the number of names doesn't match. According to the results of the investigation on the list, other than the Yasuda Miya family, the remaining names on Six Seals Island are Genji Nobuyoshi, Sayo Yasuda, Grandma Xiongze, Chef Kōta, and Doctor Nanjo. "
At this point, Fangzheng snapped his fingers.
"Now that the mystery of Sayo Yasuda has been solved, the only question left is … who is Jiayin?"
"This …"
"He can't have come out from a crack in the rock. I've asked the building master. Jiayin has been here for a long time, which means that he's not a character who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to solve a murder case."
"The building master doesn't know Jiayin's true identity?"
"Maybe she doesn't care. After all, the servants on the island are all appointed by Jin Zang, and the others are not interested in these things. In fact, strictly speaking, asking Jin Zang is the best way, but …"
"He's already dead."
Conan was also helpless. Although Jin Zang was still locked in the study in the game this time, after a week of gaming, the two of them knew that Jin Zang was dead. Moreover, it was very likely that he died before they arrived at Six Seal Island.
But … …
"Speaking of which, I just remembered something very interesting."
"What is it?"
"Come to think of it, I don't think we've ever seen Sayin and Jiayin appear in front of us at the same time."
"Eh?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Conan was stunned for a moment.
"You didn't …?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng snapped his fingers.
"Look, when we first arrived on the island, we saw Jiayin working in the garden at the entrance. Then, we saw Shayin when we entered the guest quarters, put down our luggage, and went to rest."
"When we went to the beach for a picnic, Saya went with us."
At this time, under Fangzheng's reminder, Conan also gradually reacted.
"At that time, the others were discussing the distribution of the inheritance in the room, so none of us saw Jiayin either."
"The next time we saw Jiayin was when she told us to go for dinner."
"But Shayin didn't appear at that time."
"After dinner, everyone returned to the guest quarters. At that time, we were with Shayin, but we didn't see Jiayin …"
"The next day, after Shayin died, Jiayin appeared in front of us the whole time."
At this point, Conan's eyes lit up. But soon, he discovered another suspicious point.
"Wait, so you're saying that Shayin and Jiayin are the same person?"
"Is that strange? Think about the Mermaid Island. Isn't this kind of bullsh * t thing happening on that island? "
Fangzheng appeared very calm.
"But there's another problem. If they're the same person, and they deliberately faked their deaths, it means that they're related to the real murderer. But the next night, didn't Jiayin die after being pierced by a long nail in her chest? "
"But we didn't really see Jiayin breathe her last with our own eyes."
Fangzheng reminded Conan.
"Remember, Dr. Nanjo was in charge of bandaging Jiayin's wound at that time, and Zhu Zhixiang went with him. We only found out about Jiayin's death from Zhu Zhixiang and Dr. Nanjo. We didn't see the body with our own eyes. In short … we should change the direction of our investigation. "
"Direction of investigation?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng nodded.
"We've been focusing on the Yasuda Miyazaki Family, but now it seems that Sayo Yasuda herself is the biggest suspect. However, the Yasuda Miyazaki Family definitely doesn't know much about Sayo Yasuda. Maybe Zhu Zhixiang knows a little more, but the others only gather on this island once a year, so they definitely wouldn't care about the situation of the servants on this island. So, the best way is to start investigating the people who live on this island … In other words, Mr. Genji, Dr. Nanjo and Granny Xiong Ze. They've been on this island for the longest time, and if there's any secret, it's impossible to hide it from them. Maybe we'll need them to help us hide some secrets … "
"I understand."
Conan immediately knew what to do.
"Leave this side to me."
"I'll leave it to you. You've always been good at playing dumb anyway."
"Who are you calling playing dumb … Wait a minute."
Right at this moment, Conan suddenly thought of something.
"Mr. Fangzheng, if Sayo and Jiayin are the same person … Do you remember? Last time, we found that Mr. Reji likes Sayo, and Zhu Zhixiang likes Jiayin … "
"They eat both men and women, and they eat both brother and sister."
Fangzheng silently gave a thumbs up.
"What a playful person."
Then, the story continued. Just like before, after dinner, Genya took out the letter that Beador had given her, and everyone began to argue again.
"The old man actually gave up his ring? That's impossible!"
Yasuda Miyazaki shouted. His wife, Miyazaki Ewa, also began to think.
"According to the literal interpretation, this is a test given to us by the old man."
"Wait … That's not how it should be interpreted."
Hearing the discussion, Fangzheng was speechless. In the previous cycle, he was only observing, but this time, Fangzheng decided to intervene.
"Based on what you've said, if the ring had always been with Mr. Jinzang and couldn't have left, then logically speaking, shouldn't someone have attacked Mr. Jinzang, snatched the ring, and left this letter behind?"
"…"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's reminder, everyone was taken aback. Following that, everyone stood up and ran towards the study.
A bunch of retards?
Fangzheng shook his head speechlessly as he watched the crowd leave. Typically, wasn't that how a normal person would understand things?
So, is the Right Miyazaki Kanzo still alive?
The answer to this question will be revealed soon.
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng also stood up and walked out of the dining room.
"Father, father, please open the door!!"
When Fangzheng came to the door of the study, he saw Right Generation Gong Cangjiu was knocking on the door, but there was no response.
"Hurry up and open the door. What if Father was really attacked by someone?"
Hearing her suggestion, everyone nodded. Only Fangzheng noticed that the Right Generation Miyagi Cangjiu's expression was a little hesitant, but he still took out the key and opened the door.
"Father!!"
As the door opened, everyone rushed into the study. However, there was no one inside.
After that, everyone searched the entire villa inside and out, but they still couldn't find Right Minister Jinzo. In the end, everyone had no choice but to return to the room to gather. As expected, just as Fangzheng had expected, the others soon began to question Right Minister Cangjiu and Right Minister Xia Fei. They suspected that they had killed their father and then pretended that their father was still alive. Naturally, the two of them firmly denied it and refused to budge no matter what.
"We didn't kill Father, and even if we did, what's the point of writing this letter?"
"Maybe it's for the inheritance?"
Fangzheng yawned and looked at the two of them again.
"After all, it's just a letter, and the handwriting isn't Mr. Jinzo's. According to the law, this kind of thing can't be used as a will. Even if, according to what's written here, the person who finds the gold is the head of the family. As long as it goes to court, without the notarization and declaration of Right Minister Jinzo, this letter has no legal effect. Right Minister Miyagi Cangjiu, as the eldest son, naturally has the priority of inheritance according to the law. "
"That's right."
Right Minister Miyagi Cangjiu nodded.
"So, why would I do such a thing?!"
"But that's only if Big Brother has the right of inheritance."
Right Minister Iyu also spoke up at this time.
"If Father made another will and let someone else inherit the Right Generation Miyagi Family, it would be very disadvantageous for Big Brother. So, in order to prevent this from happening, Big Brother killed Father, destroyed the will, and disguised himself as a golden witch to write this letter. That way, as long as Big Brother finds the gold, the rest of us will have no choice but to acknowledge Big Brother's right of inheritance …. "
"That's a bunch of nonsense!"
Xia Fei also stood up angrily.
"Miyagi Cangjiu would never do such a thing!"
"Then let us search your room. If you're not the murderers who killed Father, there shouldn't be anything strange in there."
"How, how can you do this!?"
At this moment, Xia Fei's face was already pale, and Right Generation Gong Huiyu was staring at her with equal harshness.
"Of course we can. Listen up, we're the people of the Right Generation Miyagi Family, and you're just a child-bearing machine. You're not even allowed to engrave the Single-Winged Eagle. You have no right to tell us what to do!!"
"You …. You …."
Hearing Iyu's words, Xia Fei trembled with anger. At this time, Lefauf also stood up and looked at Miyagi.
"That's true, Big Brother. Father's whereabouts are unknown, and you've been taking care of him here, but you don't even know where he went …. We really suspect that you've done something you shouldn't have …. Do you mind if we go to your room and have a look?"
"… … …"
Miyagi Cangjiu's face was livid, but after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded.
However, in Right Generation Miyagi Cangjiu's room, they found a piece of — — gold brick.
"This is the evidence!"
Right Generation Miyagi Cangjiu pointed at the piece of gold and glared at Miyagi angrily.
"So it was you who killed Father and wrote that strange letter, big brother! As long as you take out this gold brick and show that you found it yourself, no one can object to your right of inheritance! "
"No!"
Miyagi Cangjiu panicked in the face of everyone's angry questioning.
"This is indeed Father's gold, but it's the gold that I recovered from him. I used to be like you guys, I didn't know if the gold that Father mentioned existed, so I purposely used my connections to recover a gold brick that Father once sold …."
"Do you think we'll believe your nonsense?"
Lefauf spoke up.
"No matter what you say, among us brothers and sisters, only you guys have been living on Six Seals Island, so it must be you who killed Father and stole his gold …. No matter what you say, it's useless. Save it for the police to explain!!"
"No, it's really not like that!!"
Miyagi Cangjiu roared. Finally, he made up his mind and sighed.
"Fine, I admit that Father has been dead for some time, but I really didn't kill him. Father died of a heart attack …. It's true. Doctor Nanjo and Genji can prove it!! It's just that in order to confirm my right of inheritance, I talked to them privately and asked them to help me keep this a secret for the time being …. "
Hearing this, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows.
Very well, it seems that one of the questions has been answered.
