"No, of course not," Lan replied without hesitation.”" Conan-kun," Gen Masayoshi asked," did Ran attack the person who pretended to be the Dark Duke?"”Conan immediately had an idea and thought,""Could the murderer be Maeda-san?" "Yes, that person easily dodged Lan's attack."”"What?" When Maori Kogoro heard this, he immediately laughed and said,""I know who the murderer is. Officer Henggou, call everyone over immediately. My deduction show is about to begin!”

Officer Henggou was very excited and immediately turned around. Minamoto Masa called out,""Wait a minute, Officer Henggou, the murderer is not Mr. Maeda.”Conan immediately looked at Minamoto Masayoshi and thought," Did he already know who the murderer was? If it wasn't Maeda-san, why would he disguise himself as the Dark Duke? Mao Li laughed out loud." Brat, do you think there's anyone here who can easily dodge Xiaolan's attack?"”"But how can you be sure that the one who killed Ehara-san was Maeda-san?" Genmasayoshi smiled. Why did he deliberately choose to take the elevator instead of the corridor?”"It must be because he wants to demonstrate to the police and us," Mao Li said confidently.”

" Nonsense," Genshasa said." Then what about the secret chamber?" What about the conclusive evidence against the murderer? They couldn't accuse him of being the murderer just because he pretended to be the Dark Duke, could they? This is too arbitrary." Mao Li didn't say anything else. Heng Gou asked,""Officer Yuan, do you know who the murderer is?”"Call everyone to room 1901. I want to borrow their room to crack the technique." Also, get someone to prepare the things on top. We'll start the experiment after I give the order.”As he spoke, Minamoto Masayoshi handed a piece of paper to Henggou. "Alright," said Heng Gou.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at Room 1901. Akiko said unhappily,""Didn't we just interrogate him? Why are you here again?" Hideko Shangjo also echoed,"Is it over?"”"Please calm down, everyone. I guarantee that you will be able to return to your rooms to sleep in 30 minutes."”The old man, Genichiro of Jincheng, laughed."Looks like our detective is going to make a deduction. Is he going to fight Detective Mao Li?”

Neither Mao Li nor Yuan accepted this provocation. Yuan Zheng said,""Because the anti-theft lock of Mr. Ehara's room was sawed off, I'm borrowing Ms. Satoyama and Mr. Maeda's rooms. Now, let me demonstrate how the murderer turned the room into a secret chamber.”

Then, Minamoto Masayoshi took out a transparent tape and tore it to a certain extent."First, cut the tape at an appropriate place. Then, leave a few centimeters on the next part and fold it in half. Then, place the anti-theft lock vertically against the wall and stick the sticky part on the anti-theft lock. Then, close the door and pull the tape out from the outside.”At this moment, the policeman in the room shouted,""The anti-theft lock locked automatically." "As long as you pull the tape out forcefully, there won't be any evidence left.”Mao Li said," But this kind of thing might not succeed on the first try. This restaurant has automatic locks, right?"”" There's no need to be afraid," Heng Gou said." As long as we take the key out of this room, not only will we be able to confirm whether it's locked, but we can also cut off the tape. The front part of the tape is the murderer's blind spot."”

"Therefore, you only need to throw the key into the room through the crack of the door, and it will form a secret room."”" As expected of the famous detective," Genichiro said with a smile." You really live up to your reputation. Then, may I ask who the murderer is?"”" Then please follow me downstairs," Gensho urged." We'll know who the murderer is after an experiment."”

When everyone arrived downstairs, Genzheng encouraged,""In this season, every night, there will be a strong wind called the princess wind blowing from the left side of the bronze statue to the right. The wind above is strong, and the wind below is small.”Then, he asked a waiter who saw Mr. Ehara fall,""Which is stronger, the wind now or when Ehara-san fell?”"It should be at that time."”Yuan Zhengmian nodded." Alright, I'll do the experiment now." Then, he called the police officer upstairs. Then, five quilts representing people were thrown down.

" I asked five police officers to throw the quilts representing the victims from the rooms of the suspects and the victims," Minamoto Masayoshi explained." The quilts have the room numbers on them. You'll know who the murderer is by looking at them."”Officer Henggou immediately ran over and saw the five quilts beside the bronze statue. At the same time, Minamoto Masayoshi continued,"" From the beginning, I thought that the deceased's fall from his room was a trap. After all, there was the influence of the wind, so he definitely wouldn't fall on the bronze statue directly below his room. Even the quilt that fell from Mr. Kaneshiro's room, which was one floor lower than his room, only fell next to the bronze statue.”

"That's right, we were all tricked by the murderer." The gloves that fell in the cracks of the balcony were not meant to make it look like an accident, but a trap to confuse the crime scene.”" Indeed, the murderer didn't design the room as a secret chamber after committing the crime," Gensei said." He did it in his own room after he designed it as a secret chamber. Therefore, the guest in the room where the quilt fell on the bronze statue is the murderer!"”

Heng Gou looked and saw that the quilt labeled Room 1901 had fallen on the bronze statue. Mao Li said,"Then the murderer is indeed as I guessed!”" No," Gensho said." Mr. Satoshi Maeda disguised himself as the Dark Duke to confuse us. Or rather, he wanted to be the scapegoat. He wanted to protect Miss Akiko Sasayama."”

"Then what evidence do you have?" Mao Li asked.”Xiao Lan immediately ran over and said," I have evidence. I just found two girls over there. They proved that Mr. Maeda was talking to them at around 10 o'clock and even gave them his signature. The time was also marked on the signature. They also looked at their watches, so Mr. Maeda isn't the murderer.”Conan glanced at Xiaolan.

"So, Miss Akiko Sasayama, are you still not admitting your guilt?"”"Yes, I killed that bastard because I wanted to take revenge for killing my brother three years ago.”Then, Akiko recounted what happened three years ago. I won't go into detail here. Everyone, go watch the animation.

After bringing Akiko and Satoshi Maeda into the car, Officer Henggou walked over and held Minamoto Masayoshi's hand.""That's amazing. As expected of Officer Yuan.”"It's nothing," said Genzheng. After exchanging pleasantries with Henggou, Xiaolan, and the others, he was just about to say goodbye when Yoko Okino came to the hotel in disguise. It was already 12 o'clock at night. Although everyone had come to watch the show because of the case, they had already returned to their rooms.

"Miss Yoko!”"Lower your voice, Miss Ran," Okino immediately said.”Xiao Lan immediately shut her mouth and whispered,""Why are you here?" Minamoto Masayoshi and Okino Yoko looked at each other. Xiaolan and Conan seemed to have noticed something as well."So you're here to pick him up. Could it be that you live together?”"We didn't do anything!" Yuan Masayoshi immediately explained.”Xiao Lan smiled evilly." I know." Then she looked at her watch." It's getting late. Why don't you guys go back?"”

The two of them had just turned around when they heard a lecherous voice."Miss Yoko, isn't that Miss Yoko?”Without waiting for Maori to confirm, Minamoto Masayoshi and Yoko quickly left. Fortunately, there were not many good people. Otherwise, there would be a bunch of people asking for autographs. "Xiaolan, was that Miss Yoko?" Mao Li asked.”"Yes, she went back to Officer Yuan's villa with him." Xiao Lan pretended to be serious.”"Let's go back to the villa together?" Mao Li asked nervously.”

"Yes, because the two of them are living together.”Xiao Lan's words made Mao Li stiffen.""Living…living together? My…my Miss Yoko!" Then, a middle-aged man's fragile heart shattered like a vase falling to the ground. "Sister Xiaolan, you're really not telling the truth!"”"What does it matter?" Xiao Lan smiled. Yoko wouldn't like Daddy anyway. This will also help Mom and Dad get back together." Of course, Mao Li didn't hear Conan's words. He stood there stiffly for a long time before returning to his room in disappointment.

Two nights later, in Genji's Izu seaside villa. Unlike usual, all the servants in the house had been sent away. The luxurious dining room was decorated with a festive atmosphere. On the dining table were candlesticks and candles for candlelight dinners. There were also 21 sumptuous dishes, all of which were Chinese cuisine. Of course, the birthday cake and 21 candles were indispensable. Because today was Okino Yoko's 21st birthday. To digress, Conan's world is forever stuck in a year. I remember that when I read Xu Zhonglin's Investiture of the Gods, there was a poem: Chaos never counted years, I was the first to create the world. Heaven and earth, black and yellow, naturally have their own reason, let your religion see through. It was not an exaggeration to use it in Conan's world, because Conan's world never counted years.

"Happy birthday, Yoko!" "I was really disappointed when you said you didn't have time last time."”"It was originally like this, but it was postponed later."”He thought to himself, Who asked Gin to not take action? Why did he have to wait until three months later?

After three rounds of wine, Minamoto Masayoshi took out an exquisitely decorated box from his pocket. It looked like a box for rings. Okino Yoko was so excited that she thought he was going to propose to her. "Thank you!" She took the box excitedly.”"Wait a minute," Gensho urged,"Guess what's inside?"”Seeing the teasing tone in Genmasayoshi's voice, Okino Yoko was even more convinced that it was a proposal ring. Okino Yoko took a deep breath." Is it a ring?”Minamoto Masayoshi immediately understood what Okino Yoko meant, but he did not know what to say. He could only say honestly," It's a pink crystal bracelet."

Okino Yoko suppressed the disappointment in her heart and opened the box. It was indeed an exquisite and expensive pink crystal bracelet." Thank you!”"Do you like it?" Yuan Zhengmian asked.”Okino Yoko nodded. Minamoto Masayoshi knew that he was being a little silly, so he came to Yoko and held her hand."Come with me, I have a second gift!”

Outside, the night sky did not seem to be beautiful. There were no stars in the sky, and the only sound was the dark sea. "I know you don't like the first gift, but you'll definitely like the second gift."”

As soon as he finished speaking, fireworks lit up in the sky. They should have been specially made by Minamoto Masayoshi because after the fireworks rose into the sky, the outline of Yoko appeared, as well as the words "Happy Birthday Yoko". The two of them sat quietly on the beach and watched the fireworks in the air. Yoko Okiano slept in the arms of Masayoshi Minamoto, quietly waiting for the fireworks to end. Although she hoped that this moment would last forever, after 21 minutes, the fireworks show also quietly ended.

The two of them stood up and looked at each other quietly. Perhaps in his previous life, he did not have much feelings for Okino Yoko, but in this life, he seemed to have gone from having a good impression to liking her. However, he knew that it was impossible for him to marry such a girl. Moreover, what he really liked was liking, not love. The person he really liked was Xue Li, although he could not marry her.

"Thank you, Genkun!" Okino Yoko blushed and said.”"Yoko, forget it, I won't marry you." Everything ends here!" "I know. From the first day I saw you, I knew that Pengfei is not hindered by anything. Phoenix often perches on the parasol tree, but it is not the place where the phoenix lives. And I also know that you don't love me, so let's maintain this relationship. If you're tired outside, my place will always be your temporary shelter!”

Gen Masayoshi was stunned. He was not an emotional person. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a mean, heartless, hypocritical thug. However, a human was still a human. As long as he did not leave the Three Realms and Five Elements, he would eventually be disturbed by the seven emotions and six desires. "This is too unfair to you!"”"What else could I ask for?" Okiya smiled and shook her head. I will always remember this moment.”Okino Yoko's decision was undoubtedly correct. Her decision to back down moved this cold-blooded and heartless man. Even though Okino Yoko was like Minamoto Masayoshi's lover for a long time after that, her retreat in order to advance would have an unexpected effect in the future. In fact, it was also what Buddhism said about planting good karma.

That night, the two of them had sex, and the rest was not suitable for children…

(Apologies, the positions of Gid and Dark Duke are actually reversed. In other words, chapters 18 to 21 should be after chapter 13 and before chapter 14.) I didn't pay attention to the sequence at the beginning, but because of the development of the plot, I couldn't change the sequence of the chapters. Ah Yin hereby apologizes!
