Chapter 7: The guy named Asuka Togawa
Hey, uncle, can you do it!
Although for some reason, Conan, who was supposed to shine in this case, has not really started the investigation at the moment, but even from the sidelines, he can see that the reason why Mori Kogoro came to this conclusion is purely because he is a fan of Yoko Okino, and he doesn't believe that Miss Yoko will do such a murderous thing.
And when he frantically complained in his heart about Maori Kogoro's unreliability, Maori Lan moved his body and blocked the miserable and hideous corpse at the scene of the crime.
"Conan, you like to read this book."
The girl leaned down and looked curiously at the novel that Conan held in her hand, "It just so happens that I have a friend who also likes to read this. β
She? Friend?
After Conan's vision is blocked, he shifts his attention to Xiaolan's body - mainly because the case requires the suspect to come to the scene to continue to advance, and in the meantime, there are some other things that can be learned by the way.
Xiaolan knows more about the friend, and there is only that person......
Conan's mind conjured up with a girl wearing a headband and a shiny head.
The next moment, he felt that this guess was unreliable, just now he simply flipped through the content of this novel, which was densely typeset and made people dizzy when they read it, if they were not a lover of novels, it would be absolutely impossible to read it.
This is one of the reasons why the publishing house chosen by Asuka Tokawa has been in a slump, and the poor typography is not at all comparable to that of the big publishers who put a beautiful illustration every few pages.
In Kudo Shinichi's impression, Sonoko Suzuki is completely insulated from a literary girl who reads carefully with a book in her hand.
"Then Sister Xiaolan, do you want to read this book?" Conan asked, at this time, his idea was to use this book to fool Xiaolan first, and not to keep an eye on him all the time, so that he could participate in solving the case without restraint.
Just hearing Conan's proposal, Mao Lilan's face turned a little pale, as if he remembered some bad experience, and shook his head again and again.
"No, no, I don't like to read books like this."
The content of this book, the front is quite normal, it is a woman who has the ability to change her appearance at will, relying on these abilities to make her life better, Mao Lilan was also deceived by the previous paragraph, thinking that it was just a normal story, so she happily ate her best friend's recommendation.
And when she took the book back, she opened it in the middle of the night and read it, only to find that it was a horror novel......
Mao Lilan, who is as strong and brave as a Valkyrie, is actually very afraid of ghosts inside, but the novel is so fascinatingly written that after reading it unconsciously, she huddled in the bed and shivered all night.
"This book may not be for children like you."
Recalling the bad experience in the past, Mao Lilan reached over and put the book away, "And this book should be Yoko-sama's, did you talk to Yoko-sama first when you opened it, Conan?" β
"You can't touch other people's things!"
Moriran spoke in a very gentle tone, but as he heard this, Conan's sixth sense told him that something bad could happen if he ignored itβsuch as the unexplained damaged telephone poles in Rice Flower Town.
"I see, Sister Xiaolan!" Conan nodded his head in a hurry.
A moment passed, and the police officer who had gone to summon Tomoko Ikezawa returned with a woman who was very different from a girly idol like Yoko Okino.
Compared to Yoko Okino, Tomoko Ikezawa's style is more mature, and her dressing is also sexy.
"I've said it all, I've never been to this place at all! How could I possibly come to the house of this woman, Yoko Okino! β
Tomoko Ikezawa insists that this is her first time here.
"So, can you explain why your earrings are here?" The Twilight Police Department asked, showing the earrings in the evidence bag.
"How do I know this, I lost these earrings a long time ago, and I want to ask why they appeared at Yoko Okino's house."
The earrings don't prove anything, and Tomoko Ikezawa bites to death and says that it was stolen by Yoko Okino, and the latter can't come up with any evidence to refute it.
"Also, after walking for so long, borrow a toilet."
In the absence of evidence from the police, the star, whose career was in danger, still maintained an aggressive posture, and regardless of the reaction of the police officers present, he walked directly to the bathroom after putting down his words.
"No, she obviously said it was the first time she came, but she directly found the location of the bathroom." Conan, who has been standing on the sidelines and paying attention to everything, found Tomoko Ikezawa's flaw and said in his heart.
But it's not enough, the types of high-rise apartments are fixed, and she can also explain this flaw by going to houses of the same type, and then, she needs to continue to observe her every move.
Conan was restrained by Xiaolan, but Conan could get a better overview of the overall situation, and he didn't have to worry about being attacked by Mori Kogoro with an iron fist on the side of the investigation.
"I just asked Yoko's sister, and she said we could read the book."
Ayumi on the side came back and said.
She wanted to be friends with Conan, who had just transferred to their class after becoming younger, and when she saw the storybooks that Conan was interested in, she naturally had to learn about them, so that they could have a common language.
"That." Hearing that the owner of the book had agreed, Mao Lilan did not stop them, but finally reminded: "Then be careful, don't break the book!" β
"Good!" The three little ones replied in unison in a long voice.
After watching for a while, Tomoko Ikezawa comes out of the bathroom, and Conan stares at her movements, ready to find out her anomaly at any time.
And at this time, Ayumi asked again: "Sister Xiaolan, why does that friend of yours like to read this book?" β
Such a novel full of words, the first-graders of elementary school who don't recognize all of them are really a bit out of the curriculum.
With the simple idea that you can't be friends without the same hobbies as Conan, she asks the question.
Ah, why?
Mao Lilan thought back to her unconscious best friend, and she was really embarrassed to read the author's book because she thought he was handsome...... Such a reason is stated.
"Because she loves exciting stories...... Reading a story like this allows her to ...... Relaxing......"
I can't make it up.
"Oh." Ayumi sounded understood, but she didn't understand what it had to do with relaxation, so she flipped open the cover and looked at the introduction of the author recorded on it.
"Tokawa...... What kind of person is this author? "There was a blank space where the author's appearance should have been attached, perhaps because of a sense of mystery, and there was a big question mark there.
Mao Lilan thought about it, she was frightened by the content of the story and didn't pay attention to the author's information at all, but Suzuki Sonoko had said it in front of her more than once, it was a handsome half-race guy with silver hair.
"It's supposed to be a silver-haired hybrid, right?" She said uncertainly.
Yuanchuan, silver-haired, mixed-race.

Conan, who was paying attention to Tomoko Ikezawa, reacted instantly, could the author of this book be one of the people of that mysterious organization, that guy called Asuka Togawa!?
