Chapter 917 The Final Confrontation
At this moment, Liu Liang looked as pathetic as any criminal that Richie had seen before whose methods of committing crimes were exposed.
Where is the usual arrogance and confidence?
Li Xi’s face was full of indifference, his fingers exerted force, and he silently said in his heart: “Goodbye, Teacher Leon, Dad, I have avenged you!”
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, there was a sudden whoosh and something flew over and hit Richie's wrist.
Feeling the pain, Richie subconsciously loosened his hand, and the pistol fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a rope dropped from the sky and quickly tied Liu Liang to the lamppost nearby.
A white figure dropped from the sky, squatted down, picked up the pistol, and threw it in the direction of Liu Liang.
Rishi looked at this scene in shock - what was going on, why did Kidd help Liu Lyon?
Liu Liang showed a surprised expression on his face and stretched out his hand to catch the pistol, but he didn't expect that someone suddenly held his shoulder and the gun fell into the hands of someone else.
Then the cold muzzle of a gun was pressed against his temple: "Don't move, it will be troublesome if it goes off accidentally."
Richie looked at him with a surprised expression: "Detective Kamiya?"
Liu Liang was pointed at with a gun and dared not move. He was also very surprised to hear what Li Xi said. He carefully turned his head to take a look and found that it was indeed the young detective.
Yuya looked at Kidd and asked in confusion, "Why did you throw the gun to me?"
Kidd shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not used to using weapons that kill people."
Yuya:...So you mean it's my habit?
Riki struggled hard for a while and shouted at Yuya: "Detective Kamiya, are you in cahoots with Kaito Kid? Why are you preventing me from catching the mastermind?"
"Ah, stop talking nonsense," Youye shook the pistol, making Liu Liang extremely nervous, fearing that he might accidentally fire the pistol and shoot through his head.
"Kid and I are not in the same group. You heard it too. He threw the pistol to me because he was not used to it."
"Right, Kidd?" Yuya raised his eyebrows at Kidd.
Kidd snorted. You don't want to be in the same group with me, which makes me want to be in the same group with you. He folded his hands and said angrily, "That's right. How can a thief and a detective be in the same group?"
Rishi:...You two are flirting with each other, who can believe that you are not?
"Detective Kamiya, let me go! We can't let Leon, the mastermind, get away!"
Youya sneered, "Your performance is almost over. Do you really think you can fool me?"
Rishi was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Yuya said slowly: "What I found strange at first was what was written in the file. After Officer Rishi arrived at the scene, he found Kidd's notice letter.
I am a little confused. You arrived later, so why didn't the police who were investigating at the scene notice you? "
Rishi closed his mouth, apparently unable to come up with an explanation.
"Also," Yuya continued, "In the afternoon, I asked you where Leon would be, and your answer further confirmed my suspicions."
"What?" Rishi looked puzzled.
Youye glanced at Liu Leon and said, "Although I have only had a short contact with Leon, I can tell from my experience that he is a person who thinks highly of himself. How could such a person flee abroad when his plan is about to succeed? He must be watching the scene from the place with the best view in this city."
"More importantly, he hasn't got the Fist of Blue Sapphire, which he was willing to sacrifice two lives to obtain. Considering the above two points, he won't leave, right?"
"As his student, there is no way you don't know about this."
Liu Liang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that he would be seen through so thoroughly by such a young person.
Knowing that it was useless to continue to defend himself, Li Xi sneered: "I didn't expect that, it turned out that he was testing me?"
"But based on these two points alone, why are you so sure that I am the mastermind?"
Yuya put away his gun, put one hand in his pocket and walked to the edge of the swimming pool. Looking at the smoking cruise ship in the distance, he said, "The cause of everything should be what happened to your father five years ago, right?"
Riki's face changed. He didn't expect that Youya would find out to this extent.
Yuya also talked about the incident five years ago when Riki's father, an oceanographer, was killed by a yacht. The suspect initially denied his crime, but later admitted it.
Yuya turned to look at Reijiro Nakatomi who was lying on the ground in shock. "If my research is correct, Mr. Nakatomi also came to Singapore five years ago, right?"
Nakatomi Reijiro was startled and subconsciously wanted to deny: "I'm not, I didn't..."
Youya ignored his fake denial: "At that time, you were falsely accused of stealing something, and it was Leon who helped you get rid of the crime. Chen Xuelin served as your defense lawyer at the time and made the other party admit his false accusation."
"Then, you and Leon were on a yacht together, and an accident occurred, killing Richie's father..."
"Several people from five years ago are linked to this case five years later. It's hard not to wonder if this is really a coincidence."
Nakatomi Reijiro was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Yuya sneered: "Everything is a trap, the purpose is to get the cruise ship of Zhongfu Shipping."
Nakatomi Reijiro was puzzled: "Why would he go to such great lengths to kill an oceanographer?"
Yuya looked at Riki and said, "Let Officer Riki explain the reason behind this."
Li Xi glared at Liu Liang with gritted teeth and said angrily: "At first I thought it was an accident, but when I was sorting out my father's belongings, I found a record in his research notes that he accidentally discovered a sunken ship. The proof of the Pirate King [The Fist of Blue] is likely sleeping in it."
"That's why you killed my father, just to prevent him from salvaging the gem first!"
Liu Liang's face suddenly changed and he clenched his teeth tightly. He thought he had done it perfectly. Those who knew about this matter were obviously dead, so how could someone still find out the truth?
Nakatomi Reijiro grabbed Liu Liang by the collar and asked, "What's going on? Explain it to me!"
Liu Liang pushed Nakatomi Reijiro to the ground, straightened his messy clothes, and said indifferently: "Li Xi, are you mistaken? The prisoner who killed your father is still serving his sentence..."
Li Xi interrupted him: "Don't quibble. The reason why I became your disciple is to investigate the cause of my father's death. After getting close to Chen Xuelin and Zhang Rachel, I already know the truth about my father's death, including your plan!"
Liu Leon snorted coldly. What kind of evidence could the words of two dead people serve as? He pointed at Kidd calmly and said, "In that case, why did you leave Kidd's notice at the scene?"
Kidd also looked at Rishi with an inquiring look: "Can you explain it?"
Li Xi said coldly: "The Fist of Blue Sapphire and the murder case that has nothing to do with me. I'm sure I can lure Kidd here with these two things."
"As long as Kidd steals the Fist of Blue Sapphire, your plan will be ruined!"
Liu Liang clenched his fists. He was originally wondering why Kaito Kid, who had been active in Japan, suddenly came to Singapore. It turned out that it was all Richie's doing.
Seeing Liu Liang gritting his teeth in anger, Li Xi felt very happy. He had been dissatisfied with Liu Liang's self-righteous look for a long time.
However, his expression immediately turned ugly again, and he looked at Youye and said in a deep voice:
"But, Detective Kamiya's performance really surprised me. I didn't expect you to be able to investigate to this extent."
Yuya pulled the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "No matter what the case is, as long as it is man-made, there will be traces left. Finding the truth through these traces is the job of a detective."
Rishi was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
Yuya couldn't help but frown: "What are you laughing at?"
Li Xi just chuckled at first, but later he threw his head back and burst into laughter.
After a while, he stopped laughing and looked at Yuya, with a sinister smile on his face: "Detective Kamiya, you call yourself a famous detective, but I didn't expect that you would be careless sometimes."
Yuya frowned, "What do you mean?"
Just then, there was a sudden splash from the edge of the swimming pool, followed by a wailing sound.
You was also stunned. Why did this voice sound so familiar?
He turned around and was surprised to find that it was Kogoro Mouri. He rubbed his head, got up from the ground, and yawned.
He looked around in confusion: "Hey, where is this place? Why am I here?"
"Hmm? Yuya-chan, ah! And there's Kaito Kid!"
"Officer Rishi, why are you tied up?"
"Dad!" Mao Lilan also came to the edge of the swimming pool and glared at her old father angrily. Standing beside her was Miyano Shiho, who was speechless.
They came up in a hurry to look for someone, but it turned out that Kogoro Mouri was sleeping here.
Kogoro Mouri looked back and found that it was his daughter. He was about to raise his hand to say hello, but he missed a step and fell into the swimming pool.
"Dad!" Mao Lilan was startled and quickly ran towards the swimming pool.
Miyano Shiho looked around and saw Yuya and Kidd, and took a step forward to go over.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and more than 20 pirates armed with guns and knives suddenly broke into the sky garden and took control of everyone present.
Kogoro Mori poked his head out of the water and was about to climb ashore when a dagger flashing with a cold light appeared in front of him and pressed against his neck.
"What, what's going on?" Kogoro Mouri was startled.
When Liu Liang saw the pirates appear, he was too lazy to care about Maori Kogoro and the other two.
He straightened his collar proudly and said to Youye and the others, "Now, the situation has been reversed!"
The pirates came back so soon? They must have got the gems, they were pretty quick.
But before he could feel proud for a few seconds, the black muzzle of a gun was pressed against his forehead.
Liu Leon was stunned, looked over with cold sweat on his head, and asked: "What does this mean?"
You also curled his lips. Wasn't Liu Liang as powerful as a big boss before? How come he has become so stupid now?
Didn’t you see that everyone present, except Rishi, was being held at gunpoint?
Sure enough, the next second a pirate walked over and untied Richie.
When Liu Liang saw this scene, his pupils shrank and a bad idea came to his mind.
Li Xi took a pistol from the pirate and sneered: “Teacher Leon, you are still so arrogant. Do you think I just investigated the truth of my father’s death?”
He looked around at the pirates and said coldly: "These pirates are all my companions!"
Liu Leon's face suddenly changed: "What did you say? What on earth is going on?!"
One of them, who looked like the pirate leader, came out and sneered, "Rather than helping you destroy a city for a gem, we choose a more easy way to make money."
"What?" Liu Liang was stunned. An easier way to make money?
Yuya suddenly said, "Is your target Sonoko?"
Riki sneered a few times, looked at Yuya and said, "As expected of Detective Kamiya, you even guessed this."
"That's right. The future heir of the Suzuki Group, the second daughter of the Suzuki family, is in this hotel. If we kidnap her, we can get a huge ransom."
“Do you think this is an easier way to make money?”
Liu Liang's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. He had made such a grand plan to destroy and rebuild a city, and he even killed three people for it.
So, you pirates just want to kidnap and demand ransom?
Where is the pattern? Where is the pattern? !
Yuya looked strange. It was true that the Suzuki Group was rich, and kidnapping Suzuki Sonoko could indeed get an unimaginable amount of ransom, but...
Have you forgotten that Suzuki Sonoko is protected by a knight who can be called a monster?
But...listening to the sound of gunfire and rocket explosions ringing in his ears, Liu Liang suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! It doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want. In the end, it will be just as I expected. This city will burn down and then be reborn!"
"And all of this is me!"
Li Xi rushed forward angrily and stabbed the muzzle of the gun into Liu Liang's mouth. In his horrified eyes, he said coldly: "It's a pity that you can't see it!"
This action of Rishi instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Yuya and Kaito Kid looked at each other, and the latter suddenly showed an evil smile, moved his hands, and his fingertips were filled with small red balls.
He smashed the ball to the ground, and immediately a large amount of smoke spread out, covering the garden.
"drink!"
"what!"
In the smoke, low growls were heard, accompanied by the sounds of punches and kicks, and one pirate after another was knocked to the ground by Mao Lilan.
Yuya rushed to Miyano Shiho's side as soon as possible, but when he saw the pirates lying on the ground beside her and the glass fragments at her feet, he smiled helplessly - he almost forgot that Shiho carried a strong anesthetic with her.
Miyano Shiho covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, tilted her head towards Yuya, and showed an innocent expression.
