Chapter 199 Conan's Flying Kick
Due to health reasons, President Nagato was unable to attend his own birthday banquet. However, at the end, everyone gathered in his room to offer their blessings and congratulations.
Regardless of whether he was sincere or not, before he made his will and had it notarized, everyone in this family needed him.
Although not much time had passed, apart from the sadness hidden deep in his eyes, President Nagato's face was no longer sad, and he accepted the blessings from his family, juniors and detectives with a smile.
After blowing out the candles on the cake, as if unaware of Nagato Hideomi's death, she announced that Hinata Yuki and Nagato Hideomi were about to get married.
"I would like to take this opportunity to announce that my son, Hideomi, and his wife, Sachi, are getting married soon."
Having served two generations of Nagato family heads, and ostensibly a butler for the Nagato family, but actually considered an elder of the Nagato family president, the butler looked very happy, even his gray hair appeared energetic.
"Is this true, sir?"
It's true, of course. That was his original plan. Ever since that accident, Nagato Hideomi has lost interest in everything except compensating Hyuga Yuki.
As a father, he would naturally side with his son. He hoped that the two of them could find redemption in this marriage, and that whatever the outcome, it wouldn't be worse than the current situation.
But who could have imagined that the day before the announcement was to be made, Nagato Hideomi committed suicide? No wonder Hyuga Yuki's mood has been a bit off lately.
"Of course, I invited Xiaoxing to stay at my home not only for work-related matters, but also to help her get familiar with the house as quickly as possible."
Nagato Yasue clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her face full of joy and relief: "Oh, I see."
Well, because of her older sister's instigation, she was initially somewhat hostile towards Hinata Yuki. Although she didn't go so far as to call her a "vixen" or "malicious," she was secretly on guard.
After all, she could disregard other things, but Nagato Nobuko had said that she might harm Nagato Mitsuaki, which was the last thing she could tolerate.
However, Nobuko Nagato did guess correctly by accident that Nagato would target Mitsuko, though they clearly didn't know exactly how the attack would be carried out.
Like a lemon come to life, Nobuko Nagato felt utterly humiliated by her previous clown-like remarks after the announcement of Hideomi Nagato and Sachi Hyuga's engagement. She pushed open the door and left.
"Miss Nobuko, where are you going?"
Thinking that he would be able to inherit the position of president after tonight, Nagato Hikaru said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "Don't worry about her. Now she's the only one left who has no hope of getting married."
Kogoro Mouri had drunk quite a bit, but at least he was mindful of the occasion and didn't get as drunk as he usually does. He was still relatively sober at the moment: "Where is Mr. Hideomi? He didn't even show up for such an important occasion."
Nagato Mitsuaki glanced at the time and laughed, "That guy is probably shy. I'll go to his room to find him."
Akutagawa took a piece of cake and ate it in small bites. To be honest, the cake was too much like a Western style. Children might like it, but it was too sweet for him.
Fortunately, the other party meant well, and given his current physique, he's not worried about gaining weight.
It's unclear whether President Nagato has figured it out: "President Nagato, give me a definite answer about what's going to happen next."
Nagato Dozo smiled and said to Akutagawa Hiko, "I'm leaving the rest to you."
In short, he still wants to save Nagato Mitsuaki's life. As for how to make amends and make him realize his mistakes, that depends on the president's methods.
Moreover, he probably wouldn't want his first love's daughter to bear the stigma of being a murderer.
Akutagawa Hiko naturally had no objection to this, and even if President Nagato wanted to let it go, those two righteous detectives wouldn't just stand by and watch the case unfold.
Since they learned that "Nagato Hideomi is dead," Hyuga Yuki and Nagato Mitsuaki's plans have been doomed.
However, with only one floor separating them, Conan could easily jump from the balcony to the room below and expose Nagato's scheme on the spot.
Well, all schemes and tricks are useless in the face of absolute strength. If they are useful, it means you are not strong enough.
The current Akutagawa Hiko is qualified to say that.
Conan and Hattori understood, but Ran, standing to the side, was somewhat confused. She wasn't interested in the detective work; chatting with Hinata was more fun, and she was also curious about the changes in her mind after announcing her marriage.
Having been energetic all day, and with Hinata Yuki's tampering, President Nagato couldn't resist the drowsiness. In addition, he also had a bit of an escapist mentality, so he simply fell asleep.
Just then, the landline phone rang. The old butler, worried about waking the sleeping President Nagato and being closest to the phone, answered, "Hello, who is this?"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Hikaru, who had just left to look for Hideomi.
"Hello, this is Guangming. Please let my father-in-law answer the phone."
According to the plan, Nagato Dosan should have been asleep by now. This was just to be on the safe side. The old butler also delivered some exciting news to him.
"The master is asleep now, and we are just about to leave."
Now dressed as Hideomi, Hikaru smirked, his tone somewhat heavy: "But I can't find Hideomi anywhere."
Akutagawa Hiko naturally heard it too, and spat inwardly. That was definitely because he hadn't looked carefully enough; he hadn't deliberately hidden such a large ice coffin.
Suddenly, Nagato Hikaru let out a violent scream, which, to the experienced detective, seemed very much theatrical.
Kogoro Mouri snatched the phone: "Hello, what's wrong? Where are you?!"
"I was in the room downstairs from you. I don't know who turned off the lights, but someone followed me with a knife—"
The logical fallacy in these words is quite obvious, but considering that people can say anything when they are in a panic, Kogoro Mouri did not doubt it. After another scream, the group immediately rushed to the balcony.
When Hyuga Yuki saw the figure with his face bandaged and a kitchen knife clenched in his mouth, he looked utterly incredulous: "It's Hideomi!"
Having witnessed Hideomi's death firsthand and received confirmation from President Nagato, Conan refused to believe it. He sneered inwardly, peered out from the balcony, and delivered a flying kick.
