Chapter 16: Akeyoshi's Repentance

After some time, Mori Kogoro and his party drove to the bottom of Yoko Okino's apartment building.

"You live on the twenty-fifth floor, don't you, Miss Yoko?"

"Yes, but I've moved out of here now." Yoko Okino took them to the elevator and went straight to the twenty-fifth floor. Conan keenly noticed that on the way up the elevator, Yoko Okino's slender body began to tremble again.

It seems that she was frightened by the stalker, which is really pitiful. Conan sympathized with Yoko Okino's plight, and said in a child's tone:

"Don't be afraid, big sister! Uncle Maori will definitely help you find the stalker! ”

"That's right! Trust me, Miss Yoko, I'm going to dig at full speed and dig into the ground to get this stalker out! Maori Kogoro also hurriedly patted his chest and packed the ticket.

Although his assurances were not very convincing, Yoko Okino's hanging heart still warmed up slightly. She stroked Conan's hair and thanked:

"Thank you, little brother, I'm feeling better now."

As he spoke, the elevator stopped steadily on the twenty-fifth floor. Everyone walked out of the elevator hall one after another, and Yoko Okino also consciously walked at the end of the line. It seems that even with Conan's comfort and Maori's assurance, she is still terrified of the hallucinations she had the day before.

"Speaking of which, this apartment is really amazing! Miss Yoko, do you live in the front room? ”

"That's right. After coming out of the elevator and walking down the corridor, the first thing I saw was my room......"

Speaking of this, Yoko Okino's face suddenly changed, she screamed, and hid behind her agent like a frightened rabbit.

"What's going on!" Everyone hurriedly surrounded Yoko Okino, and asked about Yoko Okino while appeasing. Conan, on the other hand, followed Yoko Okino's gaze to the corridor in front of him.

"Uncle," he tugged at the corner of Mori Kogoro's coat and pointed to the dark corridor in front of him with a solemn expression, "there's a figure there!" ”

"What did you say!?" Mori Kogoro hurriedly turned on the flashlight he was carrying, and sure enough, under the strong light, a tall and fat man appeared in everyone's field of vision. The man looked melancholy and stood at the door of Yoko Okino's house.

"That person is ......" The agent saw the man whose true face was reflected in the light, his face was shocked, and he subconsciously used his body to protect Yoko Okino behind him.

And Yoko Okino finally discovered that it was not the female demon in the hallucination of the day who was standing at her door. Only then did she muster up the courage to poke her head out and look ahead.

"Mr. Agent, do you know that man?" Maori Kogoro saw that the agent's face was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

Before the agent could answer, Yoko Okino behind him suddenly shouted:

"Ming Yijun?! How did he come here? ”

And Fujie Akiyoshi also noticed the light shining on him at this time, and he tried to squeeze out a smile and walked slowly in the direction of Yoko Okino.

Yoko...... No, Miss Okino, long time no see. ”

“…… Long time no see, Mr. Fujie. ”

Sensing that something was wrong between the two men, Kogoro Mori poked his agent with his elbow, and although the latter understood Mori's hint, he didn't know whether to open his mouth or not.

In the end, it was Yoko Okino who took the initiative to introduce to Mori Kogoro: "This is Mr. Akiyoshi Fujie, who was from my high school days...... Ex-boyfriend. ”

"Huh!? Miss Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend!? Mori Kogoro and Ran exclaimed in surprise, and Conan was taken aback, although he didn't scream along.

"Let's go to the room first, it's still cold outside." Seeing that there was no way to stop the two from meeting, the agent sighed and led everyone into Yoko Okino's room.

As soon as he entered the room, Conan's keen eyes, hidden under his glasses, rolled around like a falcon looking for prey.

"Mr. Fujie, what are you doing here today?" Yoko Okino's voice was a little inexplicable, but she still suppressed it and tried her best to ask Fujie Akiyoshi in a restrained tone.

Yoko...... No, I don't deserve to call you that anymore. I'm here to apologize to you, Miss Okino. “

"Apologize? Are you apologizing now! Since I became famous, you've been harassing me from time to time, forcing me to move into this apartment. But now you've come to the door again and said you want to apologize to me...... Could it be that you're the stalker who has been spying on me lately! ”

"Yes, that's me, too." Fujie Akiyoshi lowered his head and confessed from the bottom of his heart, "I came today to apologize to you for these stupid things I did. After I confess everything, I will go to the police station and turn myself in and never appear in front of you again."

What's the situation? The stalker actually apologized himself! Looks like it's not my business this time. Conan withdrew his wandering gaze and collapsed on the couch in boredom.

On the other side, Akeyoshi Fujie's confession continues.

"Since I broke up with you, my life has been a mess. I can't cut off my love for you, so I can't sleep day and night. After this life lasted for a while, my spirit became abnormal. ”

"So you're here to harass me?" Yoko Okino was also excited, "Obviously, you dumped me at the beginning!" Now that I'm famous, I'm running to say you love me? Don't you think that's ridiculous! ”

"That's not the case, Yoko." At this time, the agent on the side suddenly interjected, "I went to ask him to break up with you, in order not to delay your acting career." ”

"What ......"

"That's right, Miss Okino, I don't really want to break up with you. At that time, I still had the idea of helping you realize your dreams. ”

"But later, as I fell deeper and deeper into regret, my self-righteous love also turned into distorted and excessive desires, and even had terrible thoughts of ruining your acting career."

"Especially in the last few days, this dangerous thought has been echoing in my chest. I even thought about killing myself in your room, and then I found a way to blame you for murder! I devised such a terrible plan, and now that I think about it, it's crazy! ”

"Miss Okino, I'm so sorry! I swear never to appear in front of you again, and from now on I will change my mind and live a normal life! In the future, I will never let my selfish desires disturb your life again! ”

Yoko Okino, who was shocked by the truth, didn't know what to say at this time. The little old feelings she had for Fujie Akiyoshi had long been wiped out by the harassment of these days, especially after hearing about Fujie Akiyoshi's terrible suicide plan, she felt even more frightened.

“…… Anyway," after a long time, Yoko Okino, who had collected her emotions, said, "It's a good thing to know that mistakes can be corrected." Mr. Fujie, please live your own life in the future. ”

Fujie Akiyoshi stood up and bowed deeply to Yoko Okino. At this moment, he was already weeping bitterly, and his expression of repentance could not be faked in the slightest. But this made Conan on the side suspicious.

What's going on? This person just said that he had made a plan to frame Yoko Okino in the past few days, why did he suddenly find out and change his mind? Wait, I remember Yoko Okino said something similar before!

Conan, suspicious, looked around again, and finally fixed his eyes on an open letter by the door.

The letter...... Very suspicious!
