At this time, because Hattori Heiji pointed out the key evidence that Oki Ayako had, Oki Ayako could only remain helplessly silent. She had already expressed her intention to threaten Toba Kento in order to obtain the first version of the book.
It's completely impossible.
At the same time, Kento Toba, who was kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists tightly with his hands, his body was trembling, and said unwillingly:
"Damn it...my perfect plan..."
"you……"
In response, Fujisawa Toshiaki on the side could no longer bear it. He stepped forward and grabbed Toba Kento's collar, vigorously pulled him up from the ground, and roared at him and asked:
"Then why! Why do you want my life? How did I offend you!"
""The Ridicule of Irene Adler"... The reason is probably because of the book you co-published with the shop owner!"
After tidying up his clothes, Hattori Hei put his hands in his pants pockets again and said calmly.
"What?"
Still confused, Fujisawa Toshiaki continued to glare at Kento Toba——
"Irene...is she the actress who beat Sherlock Holmes in the story?"
After hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Yes. But my lord attributes it to an error of judgment on the part of Holmes."
Hitomi Iwai on the side replied carefully.
"It turns out that he felt that this book was embarrassing to Sherlock Holmes, so..."
At this moment, after hearing this statement, the other Sherlock Holmes fans present immediately came to this idea.
"snort!"
But Kento Toba, the culprit, was somewhat calm and confessed everything——
"Irene is the only woman Sherlock recognizes. How could she laugh at Sherlock? I really can't imagine it!"
Hearing this, Toshiaki Fujisawa, who had assisted the store owner Hiroyuki Kanaya in the creation of the book "The Ridicule of Irene Adler", couldn't help but feel surprised and confused when he saw Kento Toba's response, and seemed a little incomprehensible.
The back was afraid, so she let go of the hand holding his collar, and then slowly took a step back——
"I can't understand this kind of thing!"
Hysterically, Toba Kento shouted:
"You are one of the few Sherlock Holmes in Japan, yet you publish such a book! It is incomprehensible..."
As he spoke, Toba Kento was stubborn and trembling, tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and he gradually lost his voice, but he kept mumbling the words "I can't understand" in his mouth, and then he burst into tears out of regret or not -
—
"Hmph! Just for this kind of thing, you not only killed a person, but you even wanted to kill your own girlfriend! Compared to what you said, people like you are more incomprehensible.
!”
Faced with Toba Kento's confession, Kogoro on the side couldn't help but scolded him seriously.
And with the murderer's confession, the truth of this incident was completely revealed. In this regard, Xiaolan looked at Hattori Heiji who had uncovered the truth, and couldn't help but stepped forward and praised:
"You are great! Hattori! You are truly a famous detective!"
"Ah! Needless to say! This kind of case is nothing to me!"
Hattori Heiji responded slightly to Xiaolan's compliment. At the same time, Hattori Heiji also looked at Takato who had just appeared aside and added:
"However, thanks to some of the things that the detective brother talked to me about before, it gave me a lot of inspiration!"
Seeing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but look at Gao Yuan, very surprised, and asked in surprise:
"Yes! Mr. Mingzhi, why are you here too?"
"I haven't been able to contact you on your mobile phone at all these past two days, so I was wondering if something had happened..."
In response, Gao Yuan waved his hand and explained, and at this time, an obvious siren sounded not far outside the hotel——
"When I first got here, I found out that something happened to you, so I called the police just now. The local police should have arrived by now."
Hearing this, everyone present could not help but heave a sigh of relief——
"It seems that there is no need for us to go out in the rain to call the police."
Kawazu Ikuo couldn't help but say.
"So, Mr. Mingzhi, you came to us because you were worried about something happening to us?"
After listening to Gao Yuan's answer, Xiao Lan asked with some emotion.
"It can only be said to be one of the reasons..."
In this regard, Gao Yuan just replied to Xiao Lan, and then turned his eyes to the astrologer Maria Toda on the side, walked to the other party, and said lightly:
"Ms. Maria Toda, the day before yesterday, did you pick up a necklace in the shopping street? That was something my friend lost. Please return it to me!"
Hearing this, Maria Toda, who originally felt a lot more relaxed because the murderer was caught, was stunned for a moment when she heard that the man who suddenly appeared here wanted to beg for something from her.
He showed a confused expression and wanted to deny:
"Hey? Necklace? What necklace?"
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you admit it."
Seeing Maria Toda's attitude as if she was going to bite her to death and refuse to admit it, Gao Yuan said calmly:
"However, the surveillance camera in the shopping street clearly captured the scene of you picking up that necklace. And it just so happened that that necklace was specially customized by my friend from a merchant. The style and number are the only ones in the world.
Ichijo. Ms. Maria Toda, if you don’t plan to return it, then my friend will have no choice but to call the police!”
Hearing this and looking at Gao Yuan's confident look, Maria Toda hesitated for a moment. Under the gaze of everyone present, she finally reluctantly took out the necklace from her pocket and held on to it as much as possible.
Smiling, he explained awkwardly:
"Oh...are you talking about this necklace? I picked it up on the seat when I was eating in the shopping street the day before yesterday. I saw that the necklace looked pretty, so I wore it first, wondering when the owner would come.
Return it as soon as you find it... But I didn't expect to meet the owner in a place like this... so I didn't think about it for a while..."
