Seeing that everyone had reacted, Yuu Hoshimiya didn't keep them in suspense anymore.
"That's right. These two people look like one is Japanese and the other is Brazilian, but in fact, both are mixed-race. We can see from their faces that they both have Japanese blood and foreign blood. I'm not wrong, am I, Mr. Katsumori Tanaka, and Mr. Yoshifusa Yabuuchi's son born in Brazil, Carlos!"
"Uncle Yoshifusa's mixed-race son!"
"Carlos!"
The Yabuuchi family members exclaimed again; the ups and downs of today were simply testing their hearts!
Everyone stared tightly at Carlos, and Carlos, who didn't understand the language, couldn't help but panic a little.
"Yes, actually their identities are swapped. Carlos is the real candidate to accept the inheritance this time, and Mr. Katsumori Tanaka, who is proficient in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is Carlos's bodyguard!"
Yuu Hoshimiya revealed their identities!
Yuu Hoshimiya threw all the letters found in the warehouse onto the kotatsu and said: "All of this is also confirmed by the letters I found in the warehouse later. Mr. Katsumori Tanaka was a good friend of Mr. Yoshifusa Yabuuchi who partnered to open a farm in Brazil. Mr. Yoshifusa married a local woman in Brazil and gave birth to Carlos, but Mr. Yoshifusa died a few years ago."
Everyone couldn't help stepping forward to look at these letters, while the fat old man Katsumori Tanaka's face was as gloomy as water.
Yuu Hoshimiya pointed at the fat old man Katsumori Tanaka.
"As for the real murderer who killed Machiko Yabuuchi, it can only be Mr. Katsumori Tanaka, who is proficient in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, looking incredulous one by one.
Hiromi Yabuuchi asked directly: "But Mr. Hoshimiya, Uncle Yoshifusa... no, this Mr. Katsumori Tanaka has a perfect alibi. At nine o'clock, my mother was still gathering with classmates at the hotel in Gunma Prefecture. Mr. Tanaka only went out of the room to take a bath at nine o'clock. How could he meet Mom and kill her? You know it takes an hour to come back from the county town!"
Yuu Hoshimiya smiled, "Miss Hiromi, are you sure that at nine o'clock, the second call was made by your mother from the hotel in the county town?"
"I'm sure; I even heard the sound of the venue on the phone!" Hiromi Yabuuchi said again.
Yuu Hoshimiya shook his head. This trick had really been played to death by various criminals. Even without the memory of his previous life, he could have guessed it.
But every time, the victim's family and friends encountered an incident for the first time, and also encountered this fake recording technique for the first time.
No matter how boring it was, Yuu Hoshimiya could only continue to deduce the case.
"No, there are many things in this world that can be faked, let alone a mere voice. Buying a voice recorder, downloading software on a mobile phone, pre-recording the sound of the hotel venue, and then playing it during the call to create the illusion that she was still at the venue; isn't this something that can be easily done?"
Others realized it one after another, and Hiromi Yabuuchi also reacted upon hearing this.
"So Mom wasn't at the venue at that time! Why did she do this?"
Yukiko on the side immediately hugged Yuu Hoshimiya excitedly, then looked at Misao Yamamura triumphantly, and said: "Officer, did you hear that? In this case, my suspicion is lowered instantly; how dare you suspect me all the time!"
Yukiko had long forgotten that she had reasoned herself into a suspect!
Yuu Hoshimiya patted Yukiko's head to let her move away, and then he continued to explain Hiromi Yabuuchi's question.
"Why do this? Yes, your mother's behavior today was very strange. She went to the class reunion, but called at eight o'clock during dinner to remind you that there was newly bought wood available for boiling water, and the wood was hidden by the wall and covered with a curtain by her."
"When she called again at nine o'clock to ask about your water boiling situation, it was more like asking about your uncle's whereabouts!"
"And she is the only elder in the family, arranging the daily bathing order, knowing that Yoshifusa Yabuuchi washes first."
"In the afternoon, she specifically emphasized that your mother's death by falling into the well had nothing to do with her, yet deeply in her bosom pocket, she hid a camellia."
"All kinds of inexplicable behaviors, coupled with the previous threatening letter, have only one explanation, that is, tonight Machiko Yabuuchi wanted to commit murder, wanting to kill Katsumori Tanaka, whom she thought was Yoshifusa Yabuuchi, in the bathroom."
"I think she was indeed at the venue at eight o'clock; the man's voice from the venue is enough proof. But after the call, Machiko Yabuuchi drove back immediately. Afraid that you would find the vehicle, she parked the vehicle far away, and then called at nine o'clock to create the illusion that she was still at the venue, creating an alibi for herself. As for that carefully prepared camellia, she wanted to push the murder onto your uncle."
Yuu Hoshimiya continued to act as a deduction robot without fluctuation.
Maybe he had passed the age of chuunibyou, or maybe because this event was almost identical to his memory, the awe-inspiring eyes and admiration of the people present didn't give him any pleasure.
While wondering why people like Conan and Heiji Hattori liked to show off their reasoning so much, Yuu Hoshimiya accelerated the speed of explanation, striving to end this event early to rest.
"Then she sneaked into the bathroom from the backyard, wanting to assassinate Mr. Tanaka. Unexpectedly, she was directly sent the dagger into her own heart by Mr. Tanaka, who is proficient in Brazilian fighting skills, with a joint-lock counter move."
"Because it was in the bathroom, cleaning up the bloodstains was very simple, so the bloodstains were quickly washed away. However, Machiko Yabuuchi's clothes had already been wet by the water in the bathroom, so Yoshifusa Yabuuchi could only dump her body in the well to avoid discovery. And the alibi painstakingly created by Machiko Yabuuchi became Mr. Tanaka's alibi instead."
"Mr. Tanaka, having reached this point, won't you admit it? Machiko Yabuuchi was accidentally killed by your self-defense because she wanted to kill you; this isn't even a crime." Yuu Hoshimiya stared at the fat old man Katsumori Tanaka with a piercing gaze.
"You didn't say it before and remained silent; I understand. That was because you were afraid that after being taken to the police station, Carlos would encounter danger in this house, so you planned to explain to the police after the will was announced."
"But now I have told Officer Yamamura to send someone to guard here and protect Carlos's safety."
"And the other Keiko Yabuuchi who might commit murder has also been caught by me. What worries do you have now?"
Yuu Hoshimiya spread his hands, showing his results to Katsumori Tanaka.
Only then did everyone realize that the two things Yuu Hoshimiya did before starting the deduction had ulterior motives, and they couldn't help looking at Yuu Hoshimiya with amazement.
Katsumori Tanaka couldn't help sighing, a look of wonder appearing on his face, looking at Yuu Hoshimiya with sincere admiration.
"I didn't expect you to be so smart at such a young age. Mr. Hoshimiya is right in every detail. With you here, I can rest assured about my old partner's child."
Katsumori Tanaka looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I admit, I killed Machiko Yabuuchi. She came to the bathroom with a dagger intending to assassinate me, but I lost control while restraining her hand joint and accidentally killed her!"
"Because of Carlos, I haven't said anything, but since I was exposed by Mr. Hoshimiya and he made so many preparations for me, it would be unreasonable for me not to admit it."
With the suspicion cleared, Yukiko's fun-loving nature acted up again.
She glanced sideways at the calm Yuu Hoshimiya, rolled her eyes, and deliberately said: "Mr. Tanaka, you actually don't have to admit it. This guy is all guessing; he hasn't found evidence to prove that you killed her!"
Yuu Hoshimiya felt a bit speechless and rolled his eyes at Yukiko unhappily.
Did he lack evidence? He was just too lazy to look for it.
Whether it was the bloodstains in the bathroom, Machiko Yabuuchi's real return time, or the dagger thrown into the well by Katsumori Tanaka, they could all count as evidence.
Even if they couldn't completely confirm Katsumori Tanaka's killing act, they could fully corroborate his deduction.
The fat old man Katsumori Tanaka was a bit confused; what was this about? He really didn't understand the world of young people.
However, having reached this point, and it was justifiable defense, naturally, he couldn't go back on his word.
So he shook his head and said: "The dagger brought by Machiko Yabuuchi was thrown to the bottom of the well by me. Officer Yamamura, this shouldn't count as a crime, right? I was attacked by Machiko Yabuuchi and accidentally killed her in subconscious self-defense!"
Officer Yamamura nodded his head: "If it is really as you said, then naturally it doesn't count as a crime!"
The fat old man Katsumori Tanaka couldn't help breathing a long sigh of relief.
Everyone present looked at each other; they didn't expect it to end like this. The person who wanted to commit murder was killed instead; Machiko Yabuuchi really reaped what she sowed.
Just then, a police officer ran in from outside, reported, and said: "Officer Yamamura, we found Machiko Yabuuchi's car in the woods outside, and found her mobile phone in the car. There is a strange recording in the mobile phone, like a recording of a venue!"
Another police officer ran in, "Confirmed with the hotel in the county; Machiko Yabuuchi did attend today's party, but left before 8:30."
"Officer Yamamura, we found the weapon that killed Machiko Yabuuchi at the bottom of the well!"
Running in from outside, the police officer looked excited, face flushed, holding a plastic bag wrapped around a dagger.
Seeing these police officers reporting news one after another, everyone in the room looked at Yuu Hoshimiya with increasing admiration.
Yukiko turned her face away, as if the person who deliberately sought fun just now wasn't her.
And the incompetent inspector Misao Yamamura also looked at Yuu Hoshimiya with admiration, and even more enthusiastic than everyone else present, making Yuu Hoshimiya shudder.
Such a little fan should be left to Kogoro Mouri; he couldn't handle it.
Looking at the admiring gazes of everyone, Yuu Hoshimiya spoke decisively: "I have completed Miss Hiromi's commission, and told everyone the process of Machiko Yabuuchi's death. However, what I want to say is that it is really inappropriate for so many things to happen in the Yabuuchi family for inheritance. Miss Keiko should tell her husband about the usury; bearing it together afterwards is nothing, there is no need to commit murder out of greed."
"So many things have happened all day today, even the police came. I hope that until the will is announced tomorrow, everyone will behave themselves for me, and don't play any other tricks, understand?"
Yuu Hoshimiya was generally too lazy to manage such idle matters, but for the sake of Hiromi Yabuuchi being Yukiko's childhood friend, he said a few more words.
In addition, he also hoped that these people of the Yabuuchi family would be honest, allowing him to be intimate with Yukiko peacefully tonight.
Bitter-faced Hidekazu Yabuuchi hurriedly said: "Mr. Hoshimiya, don't worry, I will definitely watch them and won't let them do foolish things again. As for Carlos, we won't drive him away either; everything will be done according to the will left by my father."
Yellow-haired Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi also echoed: "Yes, a relative has already died; no more people can die in the family. I will definitely watch Keiko and prevent her from doing foolish things!"
Yuu Hoshimiya nodded, turned to Misao Yamamura and said: "Although they all say so, I am still a little worried. Officer Yamamura, I'll trouble you tonight; let them rest under your surveillance until the lawyer comes to announce the will tomorrow. After the announcement, it should be fine."
"Because if someone is absent when the will is announced, they cannot inherit, and Miss Keiko has usury debts, so could you please take Miss Keiko back to the police station for questioning afterwards, Officer Yamamura?"
Hearing this, gratitude appeared in Keiko Yabuuchi's eyes as she looked at Yuu Hoshimiya.
Misao Yamamura patted his chest and said excitedly: "Since it is Mr. Hoshimiya's request, of course there is no problem. You all behave yourselves; rest together in the room tonight."
After arranging things, Yuu Hoshimiya checked the time; it was already 11 PM, so he said: "Miss Hiromi, please help me prepare a guest room."
"Hai!" Hiromi Yabuuchi naturally obeyed Yuu Hoshimiya's words and agreed immediately.
Although it was justifiable defense, he killed someone after all, so the fat old man Katsumori Tanaka still had to be taken to the police station for interrogation.
The will didn't concern him, and there were police watching the Yabuuchi family members, so he went to the Gunma Prefecture Police Station with those uniformed ordinary police officers with peace of mind.
Leaving with them was Machiko Yabuuchi's corpse.
