Chapter 735 The Third Victim of the Returning Boat

Chapter 735 The Third Victim of the Returning Boat

In the villa, Kusho Taro was changing Goki Yosuke's towel.

Yuya paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back.

Miyano Shiho felt a little dizzy after being spun around by him. She rubbed her brows and asked, "What are you struggling with?"

Yuya stopped and frowned, "I was wondering why the masked man wanted to blow up the suspension bridge..."

Miyano Shiho tilted her head: "Didn't you say that there is no masked man and the murderer is in this tour group?"

Upon hearing this, Kusho Taro stopped what he was doing and looked at Yuya in a daze.

You didn't notice his strangeness and continued, "But that's just my guess."

"The masked man is from Hokkaido. He should not be familiar with this place. How did he know that the suspension bridge is the only way to leave here?"

"Moreover, the fact that he didn't take any food with him is not in line with the behavior of a fugitive. After all, he can't buy food from the store now."

Kusho Taro nodded and said in agreement, "Indeed."

"That's why I speculate that the murderer who killed Mr. Saburo is one of us..." He looked at Kusho Taro and said in a deep voice, "But I don't understand the motive. This should be the first time for everyone to meet, right?"

Kusho Taro: "As far as I know, that's the case, but I don't know whether they know each other privately or not... But if you say there is a motive, it does exist..."

Yuya raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What is it?"

The reason why he brought up this topic was to get something out of the person in charge of this tour group, Kusho Taro. Now it seems that he is going to take the initiative to tell it?

Kusho Taro explained: "In fact, the real purpose of the guests who joined this tour group is to obtain a permanent membership card for this resort, and a special level of membership."

"On the last day, one person will be selected by lottery to receive a membership card. With this membership, the cost of vacationing here will be greatly reduced, almost free."

Yuya couldn't help but frown: "Is that all?"

A permanent membership alone shouldn't be enough to kill people, right? Even if you can get a huge discount, no one would go on vacation every day, right?

Kusho Taro continued, "Of course not. The membership card plus the extra bonus, the preliminary estimate is probably worth more than 100 million yen."

"One hundred million yen?" Youya opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect that a small tour group would have such an amount of hidden rewards?

"I see. If the number of people decreases, the probability of being selected will naturally increase?"

Jiu Zhang Tai Lang nodded and said with some regret: "Indeed, so some people are actually very happy that Mr. Saburo was killed."

Youya fell silent: Indeed, 100 million yen is not a small sum. Even if you don't use it yourself, you can make a lot of money by selling it to other people at a discount. It is indeed enough to make some people take risks.

Just then, an anxious shout was heard outside.

"Hey!!! Come on everyone, the ship is back! The ship is back!"

The three of them looked outside at the same time: "Let's go and take a look!"

Everyone hurried to the lake, but the scene before them made them fall into silence.

The boat did return, and with it came... a body that had been chopped beyond recognition.

Judging from the clothes and hair, the body should be Yamato Hisata.

"Mr. Hisata..." Yuya clenched his fists.

"How could this happen..." Even Xiangshan Shengzi showed an expression of disbelief and horror at this moment, "Was it done by the masked man again?"

After settling Hisata Yamato's body, everyone returned to their cabins.

In the villa, Youya was staring out the window in a daze.

Miyano Shiho brought a cup of coffee over: "What's wrong? You seem a little uneasy. Is it because of Mr. Hisada's death?"

Yuya nodded gently: "Yes and no. If it was me, or if I went with him, wouldn't we be able to catch the masked man on the spot and he wouldn't have to die?"

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment. She thought that Yuya was feeling guilty about the death of Hisata Yamato. After all, it was he who stepped in to replace Yuya and rowed the boat to seek help.

I didn't expect that Youya didn't feel any guilt at all, but was thinking about the criminal instead?

But think about it.

Miyano Shiho had long discovered that although Yuya seemed to be a righteous detective, in fact, he had an inexplicable indifference towards strangers, even innocent people.

It was as if other people's lives were not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Being indifferent can be scary sometimes.

However, he is deeply in love with the people around him, whether it is her, Conan, Ran Mouri, Suzuki Sonoko, and of course, his relatives are also included.

For example, when he rushed into the laboratory to rescue her.

For example, in the incident where Conan was kidnapped by a robber a few days ago, I later heard from Inspector Megure that the robber's cheek bone was broken by the kick, which shows how much force Yuya used in that kick.

However, considering that the other party was a bank robber who caused the death of a bank employee, kidnapped two hostages, and caused a car accident, the man himself was guilty of a serious crime. In addition, no one died, so Inspector Megure did not hold Yuya responsible.

Suddenly, a hand patted Yuya's shoulder.

Koda Masatsugu said in a comforting tone: "Sometimes people do feel powerless."

He turned and walked to the bed, changed a towel for Goki Yosuke and covered his forehead, then said: "It's like this, there is a seriously injured patient, but there is nothing we can do because there is no medical equipment."

Yuya looked at Koda Masasaku and suddenly said, "Mr. Koda... seems to be very concerned about his responsibilities as a doctor."

He had seen many doctors, but few would show such an expression as Koda Masasaku did for a patient who had nothing to do with him.

Koda Masasaku stared blankly at Itsuki Yosuke on the bed and said softly, "This... can be considered a form of atonement."

"Atonement?" Youya couldn't help but glance at Itsuki Yosuke, "Him?"

"Of course not." Koda Masasaku shook his head, and a look of reminiscence suddenly appeared on his face, "I once killed an innocent girl..."

Under Youya's inquiring gaze, he smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the basin and walked out.
