Jiang Xia looked up and saw that every member of the Oga Family was putting on an elite air, yet privately loved a good spectacle. They had all gathered here now.
So he simply explained it all at once. "From the theft of the heirloom Ring, to Miss Katori's kidnapping, to the bomb planted on the Hot Air Balloon... it looked like a string of crimes committed by one vicious culprit, but in reality, two completely different groups were behind them."
The police officer said, "Wait, the Ring was stolen? A kidnapping?... Why didn't you call the police?!"
Of course, they were happy to have less work... but they couldn't say that in front of the police. How were the Nagasaki police supposed to save face?
The Oga Family members' eyes began to dart around when they heard that.
Grandmother Oga sighed. "It was only a small test."
"Grandmother?" The Groom suddenly understood. "You stole the Ring and kidnapped Akane?!"
Grandmother Oga looked at him as though he were an idiot.
Jiang Xia said, "You got half of it right. The theft of the heirloom Ring was indeed connected to your family—Grandmother Oga strongly opposed your marriage to Miss Katori, so she joined forces with your older sister and took a few small measures."
"Measures?" Inspired by the Detective, the Groom suddenly recalled a few things and began turning his clever brain. "Grandmother's biggest reason was that Akane was an 'ill-omened person,' so..."
He abruptly turned to his grandmother and sister. "That vehicle control failure was something you planned yourselves? And when Grandmother was out walking, that huge boulder that rolled down and nearly hit her—Older Sister, you were the one who pushed it down?!"
"..."
Oga's Older Sister began looking at him as though he were an idiot too.
