Chapter 300 Suspect, Yusaku Kudo
Not to mention the deceased Yabuuchi Machiko, even the one who fought back, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa, was stunned. Suddenly, a knife-wielding assailant rushed out, his face obscured by the steam.
So Yabuuchi Yoshifusa had no idea who the newcomer was at first. He only wanted to subdue the person, but he didn't expect the newcomer to be so weak. He was easily defeated by Yabuuchi Yoshifusa using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
You can't blame him. Who would have thought that someone who dared to rush out with a knife to assassinate someone would have no training whatsoever, and would be unable to resist a master of jujitsu like him, dying instantly with a single blow?
Yabuuchi Yoshifusa has a very good mental fortitude. Although this is the first time in all these years that he has taken a life, he is quite experienced and has faced life-or-death situations in the midst of a storm.
After calming down, Yoshifusa Yabunouchi frowned as he looked at Machiko Yabunouchi's face.
His actions just now were self-defense no matter how you look at it, but because someone died, he will definitely have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department. His and Carlos's true identities may be exposed, but there is at least one other person watching from the shadows.
What if someone tries to harm Carlos after he leaves?
This old friend's son, though tall and strong, was so weak that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was completely helpless, and his personality was also overly honest and kind.
It's not that this kind of personality is bad, but if you add the language barrier to it, what if the assassination fails and he gets framed? He'll really be left speechless. So he absolutely cannot be taken away by the police like this.
"Let's dispose of the body first, in that old well. If the body is discovered beforehand and the police who come are reliable, I'll turn myself in. Otherwise, I'll wait until after the will is announced—"
Having made up his mind, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa didn't hesitate any longer.
Machiko Yabunouchi originally chose the crime scene to make it easier to dispose of the body and bloodstains, and the raincoat she was wearing made it convenient for Yoshifusa Yabunouchi to clean up the scene in just a few minutes.
Perhaps even Machiko Yabuchi herself couldn't have imagined that the preparations she made for her own plans would now conveniently cover up her death.
After lowering Yabuuchi Machiko to the bottom of the ancient well with a well rope, allowing this rather eerie well to house the second wife of the Yabuu family, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa changed into clean clothes and appeared in the living room with a normal expression.
When Yukiko Kudo appeared after taking a bath, Hiromi Yabuchi asked, "Yukiko, how's the water temperature now?"
After being told that the water was a little cold, he got up to add some firewood.
At the same time, Kudo Yusaku, his face flushed, walked out from the blind spot by the bathhouse, preparing to leave and find a place to sleep, otherwise his old arms and legs probably couldn't take it.
"Yukiko's figure is still so good—"
Recalling the blood-pumping scenes he had just witnessed, Yusaku Kudo felt a tickle in his nose, as if a suspicious liquid would leak out if he didn't stop soon.
Although the view is not very clear due to the moisture and angle, sometimes the blurriness can make people even more eager. That's why there is a saying that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen one, and a stolen one is not as good as one that cannot be stolen.
They all follow the same principle.
Yusaku Kudo reflected on himself and realized that he had indeed neglected Yukiko Kudo because of social engagements. He decided to try to win her back and apologize sincerely.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Yusaku Kudo's keen observation skills came into play.
Although he was discovered during the day, he had habitually observed his surroundings carefully beforehand, and naturally noticed the ancient well as well.
Now, he naturally realized something was wrong. After confirming that no one would attack from behind, he lay down beside the ancient well and looked down. There, he saw a corpse lying on its back, its eyes wide open in death, submerged in the water.
That's right, it's that Yabuchi Machiko who went to her friend's wedding celebration and claimed she wouldn't be back until 11 p.m. It's only a little past 10 p.m. now.
During the time his wife was taking a bath, it was also impossible for anyone to quietly throw the body into the well.
This means that the deceased died even earlier.
Kudo Yusaku was quite at ease letting his son and Akutagawa Hiko solve the case together, but he was also a little worried that if no one discovered the body, the two detectives wouldn't be able to get into work mode and wouldn't look for clues.
As one of the world's leading detective novelists, he was keenly aware that much evidence has an expiration date, and what if crucial evidence is missing by then?
"There are still people who haven't showered yet. I'll wait here for a while."
Kudo Yusaku put on his sunglasses, wrapped a scarf around his face, and leaned gently against the back of the old but well-maintained wooden door in the yard, rubbing his aching back.
He hadn't rested for over thirty hours; the last time he completely relaxed was in his soft, comfortable bed in Los Angeles.
Then he ran out to chase after his wife.
"—Yukiko is so willful."
Kudo Yusaku was complaining, but the corners of his mouth under the scarf were turning up in a crazy smile.
It is this willfulness that can stir up waves in a life that was originally as bland as a stagnant pool, and allow the relationship between the two to become more mellow and fragrant with the test of time, like fine wine.
He's a detective novelist who's lost his adventurous spirit, far inferior to his brother, Kuroba Toichi, the legendary phantom thief.
A family of three who are all phantom thieves—that's pretty exciting!
Kudo Yusaku had a strange expression on his face, thinking that their family was doing quite well.
He stomped his slightly numb feet and just then spotted Hiromi Yabuchi coming out to add firewood to the bath. After deliberately attracting her attention and receiving an unexpected scream in return, he turned and ran.
If you were left behind as a suspect, instead of charmingly winning the heart of a beautiful woman, you might end up being humiliated by her excited family.
Hiromi Yabuuchi's scream immediately drew the attention of a group of people.
She collapsed to the ground, her face contorted in terror, her finger trembling as she pointed to the open wooden door in the courtyard: "There was a man wearing sunglasses and a scarf covering his face hiding behind that door!"
"Who is it? Could it be the person who stored the crossbows in the cabinet?!"
"Could it be that man from fifteen years ago?!"
For a time, everyone had different opinions about the man's identity, but Akutagawa Hiko and his three companions guessed who the mysterious man was.
Conan and Yukiko were spoiled by Hiko Akutagawa, while Professor Agasa was simply told his identity by Yusaku Kudo and that he had come all the way here in pursuit of his wife.
Conan followed Akutagawa Hiko's gaze and, noticing the anomaly, resignedly exclaimed, "Look, what's that bucket doing there?!"
The ancient well, which was clearly no longer in use, saw the bucket rise up by itself and get stuck on the windlass.
