Chapter 10: Circling around

Yuko Ikezawa, who finished going to the toilet, sat on a chair leaning against the table on the side, crossed her legs, took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette and bit it in her mouth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Okay, I said I hadn't been here......"

I looked at it and picked up an ornament of the Statue of Liberty that was placed on the table.

But it wasn't an ornament, it was a lighter.

"Snap" lit the lighter and lit the cigarette again.

I put it away, took a deep puff, and exhaled the smoke.

He continued.

"After all, just by having an earring, you suspect that I'm a murderer or something......"

"No, it's not just earrings."

Uncle spoke.

Originally, Conan was about to speak, but he held back his words.

I just looked at the uncle with some surprise.

This uncle, unexpectedly, seems to be able to notice a lot of things.

Uncle didn't know what Conan was thinking, he was just reasoning about himself.

Earrings or something, needless to say, Yuko Ikezawa can't explain.

"And, if you haven't been here, why don't you just ask where the toilet is? If you've never been here, why do you know that this Statue of Liberty ornament is actually a lighter? ”

So,Why?

Why?

Yuko Ikezawa is also thinking about this question.

When she heard her uncle's question, she felt bad.

Indeed, it's hard to explain the earrings, knowing where the toilet is, and knowing that something that looks like an ornament is actually a lighter.

How should this be explained?

Everyone was looking at Yuko Ikezawa, waiting for her explanation.

Or wait for her to admit it.

But Yuko Ikezawa doesn't seem to give up yet, and she still wants to say something.

"That's because ......"

Because of what?

The thing about the ornament lighter can be said to have been seen before, but how to explain the toilet thing? Have you ever seen a house with the same layout?

No kidding.

Unless you're in this apartment building, the layout of the apartments elsewhere is different.

Even if it looks the same, can you be sure that the same room is a toilet?

So it can't be explained at all.

"Confess, be lenient, resist strictly, and be honest, Miss Yuko."

The uncle opened his mouth to persuade.

I just want Yuko Ikezawa to tell the story.

But this does not mean that he thinks that Yuko Ikezawa is the murderer, these can only prove that Yuko Ikezawa has been here, and it does not mean that she is the murderer.

Although the murderer must have been here, just because he has been here does not mean that he is the murderer.

These are two concepts.

Yuko Ikezawa looked at her uncle, and finally sighed and took down the cigarette in her mouth.

Uncle guessed right, she did come here, and not so long ago.

In fact, it was because of jealousy, jealous that Yoko Okino had achieved better results than her, so she stole the spare key in Sakae Yamagishi's hand and wanted to find the scandal of Yoko Okino, so as to achieve the goal of hitting Yoko Okino.

The entertainment industry is also stepping on other people's positions, whether it is intentional or not.

It's like Yoko Okino, although she didn't steal it on purpose, but she robbed Yuko Ikezawa of the position of the heroine, which is beyond doubt.

Of course, this is just a normal means of competition, and it is not good for a scandal like Yuko Ikezawa who wants to find Yoko Okino exposed.

However, although it is said that it is looking for a scandal, it seems that it has not been found.

And when I came here before, the deceased suddenly appeared and seemed to be very excited.

It's a bit of a thief to come here, and a person suddenly pops up, and Yuko Ikezawa doesn't have time to think too much about who the other party is, what the other party wants to do, and runs away from the other party's entanglement.

I didn't know about the rest until I was invited.

"So I'm definitely not killing anyone, you have to believe me!"

Yuko Ikezawa emphasized this loudly, she didn't want to become a murderer.

No one said much about this.

Because from the current point of view, the most suspicious person seems to be this Yuko Ikezawa, who has been in contact with the deceased, and neither Yoko Okino nor Sakae Yamagishi know the deceased.

But don't you really know?

The lie was also exposed with a report brought back by a police officer who went to investigate the identity of the deceased.

"The identity of the deceased has been investigated, his name is Fujie Akiyoshi, twenty-two years old, after graduating from Konan High School, he worked at the Kakuhong Company."

"Konan High School?"

When I heard this keyword, I felt a little familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, I found the key point in the memory of the former Mori Kogoro.

"Yoko-sama, the high school you attended should also be ......"

"That's just a coincidence, right, look."

Sakae Yamagishi hurriedly opened his mouth to clear up the relationship, and insisted that it was just an accident.

But is that really all there is to it?

No one present would believe it, and neither would the uncle.

Today's coincidences seem a little too much.

And how to put it, sometimes there are too many coincidences, and it's not just coincidences.

"Yoko-san, I really want to help you."

The uncle put on a serious expression.

Perhaps his most serious night was tonight.

Of course, maybe in the future, it will be more than tonight.

Yoko Okino looked at the uncle, and the uncle's serious expression seemed to make her completely let down her guard.

was originally a detective she invited over, and if she couldn't be honest and honest, even an uncle wouldn't be able to help her.

"That person, actually, I know."

Yoko Okino still spoke up, not caring about Sakae Yamagishi's obstruction.

Even if you don't say it, sooner or later it will be investigated.

"It's not just that I know him, he's my boyfriend when I was in high school."

"Boyfriend ......"

The expression on the uncle's face froze.

How does it feel for fans to know that idols are dating someone else?

It feels like the heart is like glass, "bang" into pieces.

And it's still such a clumsy man.

Uncle thinks about the deceased who is not in good shape and good looking.

Suddenly I don't want to investigate the truth.

Well, having said that, what should be done is still to be done.

And the Twilight Police Department is also very serious.

"Did you want to end your past relationship, that's why you ......?"

That's why they kill people?

That's a very reasonable motive.

To be honest, it's not uncommon to kill people for the sake of not being exposed, for a great future.

In this era of high incidence of cases, not to mention such reasons, even worse reasons may be an excuse for killing.

"No, it's not."

Yoko Okino hastened to deny it.

To kill someone, you can find ten thousand reasons, but there is no need for her to kill.

Don't dare to kill.

"Moreover, the person who proposed to break up was him, not me."

So there's no reason for that.

The murderer was not Yoko Okino.

The uncle confirmed this, and although it still didn't make sense, he fully trusted his own judgment.

So the question arises again: who is the murderer?

Going around and around, it seems to be back to square one.
