Chapter 807 Akiyama Rei 1
Chapter 807 Akiyama Rei 1
Yukawa Masaki and Mori Kogoro, who also heard the scream, hurried over, and Chitake also arrived late at this time.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Masaki Yukawa frowned as he looked at the secret passage that appeared on the wall.
"We don't know either. We just left the bathroom and suddenly found an entrance in the wall. A dark shadow just ran over there!" One of the maids answered with a panicked look on her face.
Because of the crying during the past month, the timid maids either held their tears in or went out together in the middle of the night. Tonight they came together because they could no longer hold their tears in. They never expected to encounter such a horrible thing.
"Don't panic, let's go down and take a look together. If we find anything wrong, call the police immediately." Kogoro Mouri spoke calmly. After asking for Yukawa Masaki's opinion, they walked into the secret passage together.
Conan and Chitake followed them.
Because she was scared, Mao Lilan waited in the corridor outside with Kuno Nayazuki and the maids.
This secret passage led to the basement. After about ten seconds, they stood in front of a closed door. Kogoro Mori tried to turn the doorknob, but the door seemed to be locked from the inside.
He couldn't help but look at Yukawa Masaki next to him and asked, "Do you have the key?"
Yukawa Masaki shook his head. "I didn't even know there was a basement at home, so how could I have the key?"
Mouri Kogoro: "..."
Then the only option is to break the door violently.
The three of them made room for him, and then there was a loud "bang!" The door was kicked open, and the light inside leaked out.
They entered the room and were shocked and surprised when they saw the layout inside.
It was arranged like a room, but it was very simple, with only a bed, a table and a small cabinet.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like someone lives here.
Maori Kogoro walked in and looked around, and couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that the guy who caused the haunted incident has been living here secretly?"
"What!?" Yukawa Masaki's eyelids jumped and he felt even more shocked. This was like a thief breaking into the house and no one knew about it!
Conan looked to the side, took a few steps forward to the end of the bed, and at a glance he could see the person lying between the bed and the wall.
"Uncle! Here!"
Kogoro Maori raised his head from his thoughts and walked over quickly. When he saw clearly, his pupils shrank instantly.
"This is...Mrs. Yukawa!?"
Although I couldn't see her face, judging from her body shape and clothes, it was definitely Yukawa Katsume.
But now she was lying on another person, with a knife stuck in her back, the handle of the knife was tightly grasped by someone, and her hands were strangling the person's neck.
Just as Kogoro Mori was about to go over to check, he heard the man who was suspected of killing Yukawa Jiemei cough and his hand loosened that was holding the knife handle.
He is still alive!
Kogoro Mouri stepped forward and moved Yukawa Katsume away, his eyes fixed on the guy who looked like just a teenager.
The young man coughed several times, covered his neck with his hands and opened his eyes with difficulty. When he saw Mouri Kogoro and others, he was so scared that he quickly stepped back.
His violent movement made them realize that his feet were shackled...
The boy was covered in blood and huddled in the corner, looking at them in horror.
He looked very thin, and even had many scars on his body, both old and new.
Rather than living here secretly, it seemed more like he was... imprisoned here.
Except for Qian Zhu, the other three were stunned for a moment.
"First...call the police."
Kogoro Mori was stunned for a long while before he spoke in a stammering voice.
After all, he had been a detective for so long and had never encountered anything like this.
After the police appeared here, Mao Lilan dared to follow Kuno Nayazuki into the secret passage and came to the basement.
But as soon as she arrived at the crime scene, she was a little stunned.
The police were removing the handcuffs from the teenager who was cowering in the corner.
With Qianzhu's comfort, he seemed a lot calmer, but still a little scary.
Qian Zhu helped him up, not caring about the blood on his body, and asked him to sit on the edge of the bed, and then asked softly: "Can you tell me your name?"
"My name is Akiyama Reiichi..."
The boy's pale lips trembled and he answered in a low voice. His voice was a little hoarse, probably because his neck was strangled.
The others didn't say anything, but stood quietly by and listened.
"Do you live here?"
Qianzhu asked again, his voice was gentle, which made Akiyama Reiichi's tense mood relax a little.
Hearing this, he nodded slightly.
Qianzhu: "Why do you live here?"
Akiyama Reiichi glanced cautiously at Yukawa Jiemi, who was lying in a pool of blood, and said, "It was my mother who allowed me to live here."
Mother??
Everyone's eyes fell on Yukawa Jiemei, who had already died, with horror in their eyes.
How could someone be so cruel as to lock his own child in such a small room? He was even shackled!
For a moment, there was a hint of pity in their eyes when they looked at Akiyama Reiichi.
Qian Zhu's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked him some questions softly, such as how old he was this year, how long he had been here...
But Reiichi Akiyama couldn't answer any of them, and all he could say was "I don't know" and "A long, long time."
"So... do you know what happened?"
At the police officer's signal, Chitake looked at Akiyama Reiichi and asked.
Reiichi Akiyama thought for a moment, looking at the body of Kiyomi Yukawa, his eyes a little out of focus.
"...Mom came to me with food as usual, unlocked the door for me after I finished eating, and asked me to take a shower... Then, she came to me again just now, but there was someone following her. I don't know what happened because I suddenly fell asleep..."
Like a child who had just learned to talk, he racked his brains to try to describe what he had seen.
There was no alarm clock in this room, nothing to tell the time, after all, there was no window to see outside. So he couldn't tell exactly when Yukawa Jiemei came here.
"The wounds on your body..."
Looking at the scars on his body, Mao Lilan showed a look of pity and couldn't help but say it softly.
Akiyama Reiichi glanced at her cautiously and quickly, like a frightened little animal.
He answered in a low voice, so his speech was a little slurred.
"This happens when mom is unhappy...but it doesn't hurt anymore..."
