Chapter 882 Breaking the situation head-on
  On the hot beach, following Dr. Ali's words, the faces of the four people who had been in a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Those unintentional words fall into the ears of those who are intentional, and they are like sharp knives stabbed into the heart, causing throbbing pain.

"It's almost time for us to go back, right?" Yashima Mitsuae said as he packed up the things on the carpet, subconsciously wanting to escape.

But she didn't even notice that her voice had quietly become sharper, full of guilt.

"Yes, yes." Mise Takashi also came to his senses after hearing Yashima Mitsue's words, and quickly echoed: "We also dug a lot of clams."

"Next, let's go to Sifu's house to process these clams and have a clam feast," Kutsusoko said with a trembling voice.

"That's it, we're responsible for cleaning up here. Can you please take those clams to the car and spit them out first?"

Misse Takashi looked at the stunned Ushigomi Tsufu and started to discuss. Seeing that he didn't respond, he couldn't help shouting: "Hey Ushibo"

"By the way, I found a shellfish restaurant last time. Why don't we all go there and have a look." Seeing that Ushigome Tsuguo didn't respond, Kutsu Sakuko immediately changed the subject.

"Okay, okay." Yashima Mitsue agreed: "We will go to that restaurant to eat first, and then go to Tsuzuo's house to stay one night.

The clams we dug today will be spit out and used to make miso soup tomorrow morning. What do you think, Sifu? "

"That's it."

The silent Sifu heard his partner's plan and was about to agree, but he didn't expect that his voice was suddenly interrupted.
  "Sorry to bother you again."

The sudden appearance of Karasawa shocked everyone, and they quickly fell silent. Mitsuae Yashima looked at Karasawa unnaturally and said, "You, do you have anything else? We are leaving already."

"Before I leave, I would like to ask you a question."

Tangze smiled and said, "Do you have any clues about the hit-and-run case that happened a few days ago?"

"!!!"

Tang Ze's words caused the four people's expressions to change drastically, and their expressions became gloomy and ugly.

"Who are you? What do you want to do by asking such a question all of a sudden?"

Mise Takashi looked at Tangze with some sternness: "Are you here to cause trouble!?"

"No, I just saw that when you heard my companion say, "There is a hit-and-run case nearby," your expressions suddenly changed and the atmosphere became solid, and I thought you might know some of the truth."

Tang Ze chuckled and said: "After all, I am also a criminal, and I always come up to investigate when I see this kind of situation.

Well, just think of it as an occupational disease. "

Looking at the smiles of Tang Ze and Xi, the four of them looked like they had seen a ghost. It was obviously a hot summer day, but the sun in the sky could not bring them a trace of warmth.

They only felt cold inside, and even the handsome man in front of them seemed to have turned into a terrifying devil.

"What are you talking about?" Kutsusoko was the first among the four to react: "We have nothing to do with the hit-and-run accident.
  As for our driving practice just now, it was just because we had a quarrel.”

"That's right!" Mise Takashi retorted loudly: "You just happened to see us arguing. We have nothing to do with the hit-and-run case!"

"That's it!"

Yashima Mitsue also reacted and quickly got up to pack his things, hoping to lead the other three people to leave together: "We just couldn't wait for Katori to eat clams and started arguing."

"Really? It wasn't a hit-and-run. I misunderstood?"

Tang Ze looked at the four people who were nodding and still unable to hide their panic, and then said in a different tone: "But I'm sorry, I still can't let you go."

Before the four people could react, Tang Ze said a word that made people feel heartbroken: "After all, this conflict has become so serious that it threatens to kill people. I really can't let you go." .”

"kill!?"

These words were like cold water pouring into a frying pan, instantly making everyone present feel as if they were struck by lightning. Their brains that were down could only stare blankly at the man in front of them, showing a confused expression.

What killing?
  You mean hit and run?
  No, he obviously followed our words.

So the conflict between us actually went so far as to kill people?

But aren’t the so-called “contradictions” made up by us?

Questions appeared in everyone's brains, and soon turned into more questions occupying their brains, making them unable to think.

And it was not just the four of them who had their brains shut down after hearing Karasawa's words, but also Conan and others who came up behind them.

In fact, as early as when Dr. Ali told the three children to pay attention to safety, Conan also noticed the sudden change in the solemn atmosphere of the four people after hearing about the "hit and run case".

So he was a little concerned about this matter, and planned to find an opportunity to investigate later to see if he could solve the case.

But what he didn't expect was that Tang Ze's mobility was indeed much higher than his. Just when he was stunned, the opponent had already stepped forward and hit a "straight ball".

And Conan quickly understood Tangze's intention.

Although this seems to be a reckless way of questioning, in Conan's opinion it is not a deliberate attempt to "snatch the enemy".

After all, judging from the performance of the four of them just after listening to Dr. Ali's words, their psychological quality is not that strong.

In this case, it is indeed a good method for Tang Ze to question him face to face.

Coupled with the "intimidation" of criminal status, as long as one of the people cannot bear the psychological pressure, they can break through and solve the case directly.

If his strategy is to "win by surprise", then Tang Ze adopts "use of justice", using his criminal identity to suppress the opponent's psychological defense in order to achieve a breakthrough.

Sure enough, Conan's judgment was correct. After hearing Tang Ze reveal his identity, the four of them were really panicked. The guilty conscience and fear on their faces could even be seen by Dr. Ali and others around them.

In fact, Conan wouldn't be surprised if things came to this point.

If we follow the normal process, he will later expose Karasawa's identity as a "famous criminal" as a child at the appropriate time. When they are hesitant, it will be the last straw to overwhelm their psychological defenses.

Don't be surprised, as the saying goes, "A person's name is like the shadow of a tree." Although to ordinary people, Tang Zhe is just a celebrity, but to criminals, Tang Zhe's name is still very intimidating.

For these ordinary college students with poor psychological quality, if they knew that they were being targeted by Karasawa, a well-known criminal in the Metropolitan Police Department, they would definitely give up resistance out of fear.

But in the end, this matter took a huge turn! ?

kill? Someone is going to kill his companions! ? After all, Conan was Conan, and he quickly understood the meaning of his words. He looked at the four people in front of him seriously, examining who would be the murderer of this "attempted murder".

"Hey! What do you mean by that?" Misse Takashi said in a trembling voice, "What kind of murder? What are you talking about?"

"Are you talking nonsense?" Tang Ze shook his head slightly and looked at the four people with no smile on their faces, only serious ones: "I never talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

"What about the evidence? Yes, evidence!" Mitsuae Yashima seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked again and again: "Bring me the evidence!!"

"Of course we have the evidence." Tangze looked at the pale-faced Kutsusuko and said, "Should you take it out yourself, or should I get it for you?"

"you"

Kutsusoko's face was pale and bloodless. She struggled to squeeze out a few words from her voice: "Did you see it?"

"See it, smell it."

Tangze nodded and said, "I saw your little moves, and when I got closer, I smelled the poison you administered."

"Saozi!? How could it be possible!!"

After hearing the conversation between the two, the remaining three people woke up from their daze, but immediately fell into great fear.

Because the other party's answer has already admitted that she does have murderous intentions, and even worse, she has already committed murder.

As someone who was almost killed, how could he not feel terrified in his heart?

"Aren't you still willing to tell the truth now?"

Looking at Tsugumi Ushigome, Karasawa took out a handkerchief from his pocket, then approached him and gently picked up the potato chips, and took out a brand new green tea bottle cap from under the potato chip bag.

And when Ushigomi reached the bottle cap, his whole body began to tremble violently. It was obvious that the other party already knew who the person he wanted to kill was.

"The cap was swapped and coated with cyanide. You should know I'm not lying."

Tangze pointed at the other person's finger and then at the bottle cap, "After all, there's no blood on it after you were injured."

At this point, Karasawa looked at Kutsusoko who was standing aside and said, "You secretly changed the bottle caps to create the illusion of committing suicide, right?

When Tsuguo Ushigome caps the drink, your poisoned cap will turn the green tea into a poisonous drink.

As long as he goes to the car next and the three of you are packing things here, plus he drank a drink before and is fine, it will naturally be thought that he committed suicide by taking poison in the car.

But unfortunately, the bloody bottle cap in your pocket is the only flaw. "

At this point, Tang Ze stretched out his hand and said, "Please give me the evidence. Don't make the same mistake again and again."

Kutsusoko tremblingly put the blood-stained bottle cap from her pocket into Karasawa's hands, and the next moment she knelt down and cried bitterly.

"It's me. I was the one responsible for the hit-and-run accident a few days ago." Ushigome Tsuguo slowly spoke after being silent. Although he was so frightened that his body was shaking, he still admitted it all.

Compared to the inner torture and pressure, he was more willing to speak out at this moment to end it all.

What can be clearly seen is the look of relief on Ushigome Tsuguo's face after admitting his crime.

“But we really didn’t know that at the time!!”

Seeing this scene, Mise Takashi panicked and explained: "I didn't know until I saw the newspaper the next day that we killed a drunk man!!"

"And because Sifu said he seemed to have hit something, we immediately stopped the car and everyone went to look around!"

Yashima Mitsuedano quickly explained: "But after we looked around, we really didn't find each other."

“Actually there is”

Kutsusoko looked panicked as she recalled the scene at that time: "In the grass where I was responsible for looking for it, there was a man covered in blood lying on the ground."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Yashima Mitsue looked back at Kuzu Soko in disbelief, but the other party interrupted her excitedly, "How could I possibly say it!
  That person was already dead at that time, and Tsufuo had been drinking that day.

If the police were called, everything would not be over. If someone knew that he was involved in the case, the job he had finally found would be lost!
  No one would want to hire someone with a scandal! "

When Kutsu Sakuko said this, she looked at Ushigome Tsuguo who turned pale and murmured: "If Tsufuo-san is willing to keep the secret.
  If he hadn't said anything about "turn yourself in"... everything."

"Don't be naive!"

Karasawa looked at fellow Kutsu Saeko who was lost in her thoughts and interrupted her, "Do you think that just like a clam, as long as you close your shell tightly, you will be safe?

But let me tell you, no matter how secretive and safe you think you are hiding, you will still leave traces in the end!
  The more you try to hide it, the more attention you will draw and eventually the "fisherman" will find you. "

Kutsusoko knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. The other three also looked sad, with confusion and fear about the future on their faces.

As for Kutsu Saeko's reason for wanting to kill someone, Karasawa was really speechless.

First of all, she was not the mastermind, just a passenger. Ushigome Tsuguo's surrender and implicating the other party's responsibility were very small.

Even if you lose the current job because of this, you can just find another one after that. At least you won’t have to bear criminal responsibility (note 1). Who knew that the other party, such a genius of logic, would directly choose to kill people and silence them?
  Is it so difficult to find a job now? Killing someone just for a job is outrageous.

Co-author: You think the difficulty of killing someone is easier than the difficulty of finding a job, right?
  We all have the determination to kill people, so why don’t we have the courage to face temporary difficulties?

Well now, what might have been a matter that could be solved by just losing money is now a bet on the future, and he is imprisoned on the charge of "attempted murder."

Ruining the short-term future did not have the courage to take responsibility, but in the end, the future of a lifetime was ruined because of a single thought.

Sad, pitiful, blind and ignorant people.

When Henggou Shigego arrived with his men, after learning about the situation from Tang Ze, he ordered his men to take the four people away.

Karasawa looked at the remorseful Kutsusoko in the car and shook his head slightly. Although he sighed, he didn't pity her.

As the saying goes, "Poor people must be hateful." If Kutsusoko does something wrong, he must be responsible for what he does.

Note 1: According to our country, we are responsible for civil liability. I don’t understand this very well. If there are any mistakes, please correct me. (This section is free)
