Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Master Fei Chi, are you feeling unwell?" Kenshiro Hatakeyama asked.

"The doctor advised me to get more rest, but it doesn't matter if I stay up all night occasionally," Chi Feichi replied calmly, "I think the most important thing at the moment is to help the police find the murderer of Miss Yu and Miho."

He mentioned that the murder of the Hatakeyama couple had not yet been solved to prevent others from nagging him about whether to take a break or not. However, this was also what he was thinking.

They have been involved in this incident. Even if Officer Megu agrees that they go back to rest, after they have rested, the police will most likely contact them again to find out the situation.

The longer the incident drags on and the greater the scene environment changes, the more things the police may need to confirm. The situation will be more troublesome than it is now, and they will need to expend more energy on this matter.

Anyway, the method of this incident is not complicated. Once there are enough clues, he will solve the incident.

This way they can go back and rest in peace.

Haibara Ai originally wanted to say, 'Dr. Fukuyama didn't say it's OK to stay up all night,' but after hearing Chi Feichi talk about Hatakeyama Yu's death, she swallowed her words and sighed in her heart.

If Brother Fei Chi himself is unwilling to participate in the investigation, Officer Megure cannot force Brother Fei Chi to help. Even if Brother Fei Chi is inconvenient to refuse, he can still leave Edogawa to Officer Megure. In the final analysis, Brother Chi himself also wants to know what is right and wrong. This incident must be investigated clearly as soon as possible...

Probably because Brother Fei Chi admires the top students, he takes this incident so seriously.

In this case, it would be hard for her to persuade Brother Fei Chi to put down the incident and rest. Moreover, when Brother Fei Chi became willful, she couldn't help him.

"I'm really troubling you tonight, but your health is still very important. I hope you can take good care of yourself." Kenshiro Hatakeyama was so bad that he asked Chi Feichi to leave it alone. He sighed and looked at Ishihara Kouko and Ishihara who were always silent. Tatsuya said softly in a helpless tone, "Tatsuya, although it is not good to say this at this time, after Yu's death, there will definitely be turmoil within the Hatakeyama Foundation. I don't know what to do with the shares held by Yuu... I The biggest concern now is that employees are panicking, and someone must step forward early to give everyone confidence so that the situation can be stabilized as soon as possible.”

Ishihara Kouko had already calmed down. When Kenshiro Hatakeyama talked about this issue, she immediately said, "Yu has no children. He is still so young and he probably hasn't made a will yet. Therefore, of course, his inheritance should be given to his sister." It’s more reasonable for me or my mother.”

"No," Tatsuya Ishihara said seriously, "If Yu dies earlier than his wife Miho, then from the moment Yu dies, all his property will be inherited by Miho."

Ishihara Xiangzi's face changed drastically, "How is this possible?"

"Didn't the host of the wedding say that last night?" Tatsuya Ishihara reminded with an unsightly expression, "The two of them have registered their marriage. According to the law, Miho, as his wife, can inherit Yu's property first."

"So, what will happen to Yu's property?" Xiangzi Ishihara asked anxiously.

"If Miho dies later than Yu, Miho will inherit Yu's property as his wife," Tatsuya Ishihara said sternly, "After Miho dies, this property will be inherited by Miho's family."

"What's going on?" Xiangzi Ishihara stood up from her seat anxiously, frowning and said, "It's too outrageous! I will never accept this kind of thing!"

Ishihara Tatsuya also frowned and gritted his teeth unwillingly, "Whether you accept it or not, this is what the law stipulates!"

Ishihara Kouko could not control her emotions and complained excitedly, "Such a stupid law is so ridiculous!"

Chi Fei later saw that Ishihara Kouko knew little about Japanese inheritance law and Ishihara Tatsuya was not completely right. He really felt that these people needed to hire a lawyer.

In this case, if Yu Hatakeyama does not leave a will, then Yu Hatakeyama's estate will be distributed in accordance with relevant Japanese laws. If Yu Hatakeyama has children, then his wife will inherit half of Yu Hatakeyama's estate, and his children will inherit the remaining half. If Hatakeyama Yu has no children but has a wife, then the people who inherit Hatakeyama Yu's estate will be Hatakeyama Yu's parents and wife, with the wife inheriting two-thirds and the parents inheriting one-third.

In Japan, the wife can inherit most of her husband's estate, and the brothers and sisters need to go back in line. When Yu Hatakeyama's parents die, his grandparents die, and there are no children, the property will be passed to Yu Hatakeyama's wife and siblings. If you come to inherit, your wife will inherit three-quarters, and your brothers and sisters will inherit one-quarter.

Of course, with Yu Hatakeyama's net worth, one-tenth of his property is not a small sum. I'm afraid Ishihara Kouko is not willing to give even one-tenth to Ito Zenfumi... To be precise, the entire Hatakeyama family is not willing to see it. Outsiders took away their property.

However, the Hatakeyama family's wealth should not be drained out so easily.

Inheritance tax is required when inheriting an inheritance in Japan. With the amount of wealth in the hands of the heads of major financial groups, the inheritance tax to be paid by the heirs will be astronomical. In order to pay less inheritance tax, each family will use financial means to legally avoid taxes on part of the wealth. , In addition, in order to prevent the property from being divided through marriage, each family will also take some corresponding preventive measures. Even if Hatakeyama Yu has not made a will, the Hatakeyama family will not suddenly fall out of the list of the powerful families of the consortium.

"Click."

The door of the conference room was opened, and Memu Shisan and Takagi entered.

When Takagi Wataru closed the door, Memu Shisan walked to the whiteboard in the conference room and said with a serious expression, "I'm sorry for asking everyone to come here at this time."

Ishihara Kouko did not comment on the legal provisions, sat back on the chair, and said to Megure Thirteen, "My mother needs to rest in the room because the shock was too great."

Takagi closed the door of the conference room and walked to Megure Thirteen.

"I understand," Memu Shisan nodded to express understanding and glanced around the conference room, "Within the presumed death time of the two victims, most of the people who attended the wedding banquet last night had clear alibi. We have asked those people to leave on their own."

"Then you leave us here, are you doubting us?" Ishihara Tatsuya asked dissatisfied.

"No," Mumu Shisan was doubtful in his heart, without saying a word, and explained seriously, "Because everyone here is related to the two deceased people who were killed, maybe you will feel unhappy, but I still want to ask Please help our police handle the case.”

Suzuki Sonoko: "..."

Okay, I can see that Officer Megure didn't count their table among 'everyone here' at all.

"I am happy to cooperate with the police," Kenshiro Hatakeyama frowned, "but Tatsuya and I stayed next to Yu's body when Miho was killed. Master Chi and the little brother should be able to testify to this. So Tatsuya and I at least have an alibi for Miho’s murder, right?”

"Yes," Mumu Shisan said seriously, "the bullets taken out of the two victims were also fired from the pistol found in the flower garden. In other words, the two victims should have been shot by the same person. "

Ishihara Tatsuya's expression slowed down, "That means we..."

"But at the time of the crime, Ms. Rikako and Ms. Arisa had already returned to the hotel, right?" Takagi Wataru looked at the record on the notepad and interrupted, "They were both alone in the room. Proof of presence…”

Arisa Hatakeyama stood up angrily, "Do you mean to say that I am a murderer?"

"Miss Arisa, don't be so excited," Mumu Shisan quickly reassured with a smile, "We are still ruling out all possibilities."

Seeing Megure Thirteen with a smile on her face, Hatakeyama Arisa didn't lose her temper anymore and sat back down sulking.

"Because this case just happened not long ago, our police don't know the motive of the criminals who killed the bride and groom one after another, so we want to ask..." Megure Thirteen turned his head to look at Ito Zenfumi, who was sitting alone at the table, and his eyes changed. Gotta sharpen up, "Mr. Shanwen, the bride's brother."

Ito Zenfumi raised his eyes and looked at Megure Thirteen, his voice still sounded soft, "Yes."

Megure Thirteen stared at Ito Zenfumi and said calmly, "I just received a call. The colleague who called me told me that according to their investigation from last night to now, you seem to have borrowed money from multiple financial institutions." It’s several million yuan, right?”

Everyone in the Hatakeyama family turned to look at Ito Zenfumi in surprise.

Ito Zenfumi's face changed drastically, and he was hesitating and speechless, "That, that's..."

Mumu Shisan's eyes became sharper and his tone became a little more serious. "Is it yes or no? Can you please answer me clearly?"

Ito Zenfumi's face softened, and he frowned at Megure Thirteen, "Yes, it does happen, but I really didn't kill anyone... Why did I kill my sister?"

As he spoke, Ito Zenfumi closed his eyes with grief on his face, and his soft voice trembled a little, "She is my only relative in the world."

Chi Feichi felt that the time was almost here and took the initiative to say, "Officer Mumu."

"Huh?" Memu Shisan retracted his gaze from Ito Zenfumi and turned to Chi Feichi.

Conan, who was just about to sneak out to look for clues, also stopped, sat down on the chair again, and cast a doubtful look at Chi Feichi.

"I would like to ask Mr. Ito a few questions." Chi Feichi said.

Megure Thirteen nodded, looked at Ito Zenfumi again, and showed his support for Chi Feichi's question, "Mr. Zenfumi, is it okay?"

Ito Zenfumi was silent for a moment, looked at Chi Feichi, who was sitting across from him and the Hatakeyama family, and responded softly with a serious expression, "No problem, just say it."

"At the wedding banquet last night, Miss Miho felt unwell, and Yu asked you to drive Miss Miho to the hotel room in his car." Chi Feichi looked directly at Ito Zenfumi calmly, and his tone was calm and composed, "You Were you delayed by something on the way back to the hotel? Did you meet anyone suspicious?"
