Chapter 256 A double harvest in love and career, but the dead father
"Leaving aside them, you're no good either, Yuzo. All you do all day is draw those useless pictures!"
This hit Tomizawa Yuzo's sore spot. Although he had made great progress, his manga career was still somewhat lukewarm. He pushed back his chair and stood up abruptly.
"Xiong San!"
When Tomizawa Yuzo saw Suzuki Ayako's concerned expression, his angry look softened instantly: "Ayako, I'm fine. I'm going to the studio now. I still have one last illustration to adjust."
Akutagawa Hiko glanced at Tomizawa Tetsuji's watch. If he remembered correctly, there was a bug in that watch. It was a gift from his eldest son to listen to the timing of his departure from the villa and his return.
In order to create an alibi.
However, it's clear that this aspiring novelist, Tomizawa Taichi, isn't very professional, and the script didn't go as he envisioned.
Akutagawa Hiko was very interested in sabotaging plans and such, and it was rare to meet a manga artist he knew well who had some connection with the main characters. He wanted to have a collaborative talk with this person.
Incidentally, he also gave Conan a wink.
Conan is already a bit too much. Suspects who fantasize about committing crimes in person and then escaping are likely to suffer a lot. Without taking this fake child into account, the plan would be impossible to carry out.
So, let's get him out of there.
Conan was engrossed in an exciting part, but with important business at hand, he quickly followed.
Sonoko wasn't really willing to stay there any longer, but she couldn't leave her older sister alone to face the somewhat feudalistic and patriarchal Tomizawa Tetsuji. As for Ran, she could only risk her life to stay with her best friend.
After all, Sonoko had already promised to help her clean Shinichi's house, so it wouldn't be right for her not to stay here with Sonoko.
Akutagawa Hiko quickly caught up with Tomizawa Yuzo and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Yuzo, I currently have a manga idea in my head, and I think we can discuss it."
The excuse Tomizawa Yuzo made for leaving was to adjust the illustrations, but in reality, he simply wanted to get away from his father, who didn't respect the personal interests and dreams of the three brothers.
Hearing Akutagawa say this, he was also eager to hear what this famous detective, his potential future relative, had to say about the manga that existed in his mind.
Conan scratched his head. He didn't recall Akutagawa Hiko being interested in this kind of thing, but considering that they had only known each other for a few months, it was normal that he didn't know much about his private interests.
Moreover, he was quite curious about what kind of story Akutagawa Hiko would be able to tell.
After leaving the art studio, Conan rubbed his face, somewhat speechless, and said, "Is this really okay? Isn't this basically exposing the existence of people like us?"
Akutagawa Hiko didn't care much. After all, apart from a few people who actually knew about it, most people who read the manga would just think it was a work of fantasy, not something that actually existed.
As for what happened next—
Hopefully, this Naruto series can quell the ill intentions of some people. Although there will inevitably be some intimidation in the end, it would be better to transition peacefully without resorting to violence.
"How could that be? If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that ninjas and ninjutsu are real? If this manga happens to become popular in the future, it might actually help to cover up the truth."
Conan nodded worriedly. There was some truth to what he said, but he felt that Akutagawa Hiko's purpose was not limited to this and that he might have a deeper plan.
He couldn't help but become even more curious about the organization behind Akutagawa Hiko, and he was also aware that his current position was somewhat awkward. The six-month probationary period was still ongoing, and it was unlikely that he would gain their trust.
Therefore, he did not intend to put Akutagawa Hiko in a difficult position.
Just as I was about to say something more, the lights in the corridor suddenly went out.
"It's because of the typhoon that the whole neighborhood lost power; all the lights in the villas over there went out too."
As if on cue, the two suddenly heard a trio of screams.
Without thinking, he rushed out and arrived at the scene in an instant, only to find a corpse lying on the ground and three girls with panicked faces.
"It was Yuuzo! Yuuzo killed Uncle Tetsuji!!"
Ayako Suzuki fell to the ground, her face full of disappointment.
If her entire face were shown, she would most likely not mistake her. Squinting eyes don't necessarily mean poor eyesight, but the problem is that only her eyes are showing.
The triplets naturally look very alike, and so far, the only person they've ever seen who looks like this is Tomizawa Yuzo, so mistaking one for the other is inevitable.
"Impossible! Brother Xiong San was in the art studio the whole time, and Brother A Yan was there too. It definitely wasn't Brother Xiong San!"
Ayako Suzuki grasped at this as if it were a lifeline, while Sonoko and Ran anxiously looked at Hiko Akutagawa, waiting for his confirmation.
"That's right, we were just talking about comics in the studio, so he couldn't have had the time to commit the crime."
"
Just as Ran was calling the police, Tomizawa Yuzo walked over with a candlestick in his hand: "What happened? After Detective Hiko and Conan left, the power suddenly went out. I was worried that Ayako would be scared, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tomizawa Yuzo was suddenly hugged tightly by Suzuki Ayako: "Thank goodness—thank goodness it wasn't you."
In the darkness, only the candlestick in his hand emitted a faint light. The bewildered Yuzo Tomizawa did not see Tetsuji Tomizawa's body.
Yuzo Tomizawa was still full of energy and passion after discussing the manga tentatively titled "Naruto" with Hiko Akutagawa.
Now, with a beautiful woman in his arms, Tomizawa Yuzo felt a slight warmth in his body, experiencing a joy of double success in both love and career.
However, the most urgent task is to figure out exactly what happened.
When Tomizawa Yuzo learned from several people that his father had died at the hands of someone whose features were so similar to his that even Ayako mistook him for someone else, he almost dropped the candlestick in his hand.
The Suzuki sisters didn't know, and he didn't know either.
He has two older triplets.
Although they have very different hairstyles and appearances so that others might mistake them for someone else, his older brother even has a small mustache.
The image the three saw was clearly disguised; only their eyebrows and eyes were visible.
Yuzo Tomizawa said with some difficulty, "It's very likely my two triplets—"
Clearly, he couldn't believe that his eldest or second eldest brother had killed their father, since the conflict hadn't escalated to this point.
In this weather, the police cars couldn't get here in time. The group worked together to take photos of the scene carefully with flashlights, and after arranging the body properly, they all went back to sleep.
Whether or not one can fall asleep is another matter —
