The reason why Okino Yoko came to Maori Detective Agency was very simple. Recently, she found that every day when she returned home, the furniture had traces of being touched. She also received some threatening letters and silent phone calls, which made her very frightened.
Okino Yoko originally wanted to ask Maori Kogoro to help her secretly investigate who was behind this, but because of Maori Kogoro's drunken past, she could only ask Shinichi Takada to investigate this matter.
Okino Yoko told him the reason for her visit. At this time, Mao Lilan brought out the tea and placed it in front of Okino Yoko.
" Miss Yoko, I'll accept this commission. However, because Mr. Maori was drunk, I'll go to your place for a simple check-up for the time being. It'll be best if I can find anything. If I can't find anything, I'll have to wait until Mr. Maori wakes up tomorrow to go over.”
Although Shinichi Takada had not seen the system yet and did not know the system's rating of Okino Yoko, nor did he know how to best defeat her, he understood that it was never wrong to approach Okino Yoko. Moreover, he had some impression of this case. If he remembered correctly, there would be a death case later. It was Okino Yoko's ex-boyfriend who committed suicide in her apartment, and the clues were related to air conditioning and ice. Although he did not have the ability and knowledge of a detective, he believed that he could still solve the case after knowing the result and looking at the scene. Therefore, this was a good opportunity for him.
"Yes, thank you Takada-kun.”
Yoko Okino nodded slightly and agreed.
Shinichi Takada took a pen and paper from his desk and asked Yoko Okiano to register her phone number and address. Then, he prepared to leave with her. There was no need to discuss the commission fee.
Just as Shinichi Takada, Okino Yoko, and Yamagishi were about to leave, Mao Lilan said,""Miss Yoko, Takata, can I go with you? I really want to see what my idol's room looks like.”
"I don't have any objections, but I don't know if Miss Yoko agrees.”
Shinichi Takada did not refuse and left the decision to Okino Yoko. He was very confident that he would solve the case he was about to encounter, so he did not take the initiative to invite Conan. However, if Molilan and Conan still wanted to go according to the plot, he would not object.
"It's alright, let's go together." Okino nodded and smiled.”
Sister Xiaolan, I want to go too."
Conan said cutely. He was worried that Mao Lilan and Takada Shinichi would go together. Otherwise, he would not be interested in such a small commission.
Before Mao Lilan could say anything, she said to Yoko,"What a cute little girl. Brother, let's go together."
After hearing what Okino Yoko said, Mao Lilan did not say anything. She took off her apron and placed it on the sofa before leaving with the others.
Okino Yoko and Yamagishi Ei drove here. Shinichi Takada, Molilan, and Conan could sit in the back. As for Jealous Conan, he immediately got into the car after Molilan got into the car. This way, he sat in between Shinichi Takada and Molilan.
Shinichi Takada did not say anything about this. He knew that it was not a matter of time to pursue Mao Lilan. Anyway, Kudo Shinichi had already become a child, Conan. In the future, he would only be able to become Kudo Shinichi once in a while. He had plenty of opportunities to pursue Mao Lilan.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a building. The group entered the building, entered the elevator, and went straight to the twenty-fifth floor.
"So beautiful!"
Looking at the night view outside the window, Mao Lilan exclaimed. The city under the lights was too beautiful when looked down from above.
" Ahhhhh!!!"
Yoko Okino screamed in horror. Shinichi Takada, who had been waiting at the side, immediately ran to the door while shouting," What's wrong?"
"Xiaolan, Conan, don't come over. Someone's dead!”
Shinichi Takada called out to Molilan and Conan, who were about to come over. He helped Yoko Okino up from the ground and looked into the room. He saw a man lying on the ground with a knife stabbed into his back. Blood flowed out.
Upon hearing Shinichi Takada's words, Mao Lilan, who was about to walk over, immediately stopped. At the same time, she pulled Conan, who was about to walk over, by his collar with a terrified expression.
"Children, don't come over. This isn't something you should be looking at.”
Shinichi Takada turned his head and said to the three children who were walking over. There were two boys and one girl. One of the boys was huge while the other was thin and weak. If there were no accidents, the three of them should be the three members of the Junior Detective Group in the future. They were Kojima Genta, Tsutani Mitsuhiko, and Yoshida Ayumi.
"Children, this is not a place you should be!”
Shan Anrong was not blind. He immediately stopped the three curious children. Dead people and fresh blood were not suitable for children to see.
"Why are they here?”
Conan was not surprised when he saw this. He looked up at Mao Lilan and said,"Sister Xiaolan, I know them. They are my classmates.”
" It's Conan's classmate!"
Molilan walked over with Conan.
" Thank you, Takada-kun!"
Yoko Okino thanked Taka Shinichi. At this moment, she felt as if she was being hugged by Taka Shinichi, which made her feel a little shy and embarrassed.
"It's nothing. It's good that you're fine, Miss Yoko.”
Shinichi Takada patted Okino Yoko's back and took out his phone to call the police.
The police were not slow to arrive. After about half an hour, the police arrived. The leader was a fat man wearing a hat. Without asking his name, Takada knew that he should be Megure Thirteen. He was the chief of the Investigation Division of the Police Department. They would probably meet many times in the future.
The coroner examined the bodies. They were called in for questioning, but the children were stopped from entering. In the end, Mao Lilan stayed outside to take care of the children.
As soon as he entered the room, even without his original memory, Shinichi Takada noticed something unusual. The temperature of the air conditioner was a little high. Although it was spring and the weather was a little cold, it was not necessary to turn on the air conditioner indoors. Therefore, this was a clue.
While Mezurane Shisan was interrogating Okino Yoko and Yamagishi Ei, Shinichi Takada walked around the room and finally squatted down beside the corpse.
"Officer Megure, please come over.”
Shinichi Takada suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Shisan walked over, followed by Okino Yoko and Yamagishi Ei.
Shinichi Takada touched the corpse's hand and said,""Officer Megure, look, there's a strand of hair here.”
"It really is a strand of hair."
Mu Shisan was delighted to see this. Perhaps the murderer had left this behind when he was fighting with the victim. He immediately picked up his hair with his gloved hand and looked at it. Then, he turned to look at Okino Yoko.
"Miss Yoko, this hair is yours, right?”
Okino Yoko took a closer look and said, somewhat at a loss,"It's mine, but I don't know why it's here.”
" Yoko," Twilight Shisan snorted." I'm afraid that the victim took the opportunity to leave this on you when you killed her, right?" This is critical evidence, and you can't refute it.”
"How could this be…"
Yoko Okiano was stunned. She had never killed anyone, and she did not know why the hair was left here. However, looking at the current situation, she would be treated as a murderer. How could she accept this?
"Officer Mu Mu, I think you misunderstood.”
At this moment, Shinichi Takada suddenly spoke up and pointed at the corpse."Officer, we can see that the victim was stabbed from behind. I believe you have no objections to this. In this case, how could the victim's hand grab the hair of the person behind her? This was impossible, so it could only be that someone wanted to frame Yoko and deliberately put her hair there.”
"Takada-kun, you're right."
Mu Shisan nodded in agreement, but he still said to Okino Yoko,""However, this doesn't rule out the possibility that the murderer did it on purpose, so Yoko, you're still a suspect.”
" Officer Megure, if the murderer was really Yoko, she wouldn't have done this because it wouldn't benefit her at all. If the police didn't think of this, she would only be treated as a criminal." Of course, this did not mean that Yoko was not a suspect. It was just that her suspicion was extremely small.”
Mu Mu Shisan pondered for a while and nodded,""You're right. Miss Yoko is indeed not very suspicious.”As he spoke, he looked at Shan Anrong.
"I didn't come up at all when I came to look for Yoko tonight. I haven't been separated from Yoko since."”
"I can prove it for Mr. Yamagishi." Okino Yoko nodded.”
As she spoke, Okino Yoko walked to Shinichi Takada's side and lowered her head slightly.""Thank you, Takada-kun. Thank you so much.”
"You're welcome, Miss Yoko. I'm just telling the truth.”
Shinichi Takada smiled and waved his hand. He looked at the air conditioner and said,""Miss Yoko, is the air conditioner always this hot?”
"No," Okino shook her head."I remember that I turned off the air conditioner when I went out."”
Mu Shisan continued to question Yamazhiro, while Shinichi Takada grabbed Yoko Okino's wrist and walked to the other side of the corpse. He pointed at the pit on the floor and said,""Miss Yoko, was your floor originally broken?”
Okino Yoko bent over to take a look and shook her head."No, this place was originally fine.”
Upon hearing this, Shinichi Takada nodded slightly. Although he did not know much about reasoning, he knew the results. Combined with what he saw at the scene, he had more or less understood the truth of the case. However, he remembered that there would be an actress named Ikezawa Tomoko involved in this case. He wanted to meet this actress and see how beautiful she was, so he did not have the intention to solve the case immediately.
"Takada-kun, can you find the murderer?”
Okino Yoko looked at Shinichi Takada expectantly. Shinichi Takada's deduction just now made her realize that Shinichi Takada's deduction ability was very strong. It would be great if he could find the murderer. If she found the murderer, not only would she be freed from suspicion, but the case would also not be noticed by the media because of the long delay. If she was involved, it would have a major impact on her career.
"Miss Yoko, don't worry. I'll definitely find out the truth.”
Shinichi Takada smiled and nodded heavily. He already knew the whole story of the case, so he naturally did not mind showing confidence at this time.
" I believe you, Takada-kun!"
Yoko Okino smiled and said softly. Then, she walked away, feeling a little embarrassed.
Shinichi Takada looked at Okino Yoko's back and smiled. He then turned to look at Conan, who had just entered the room. Although he let Mao Lilan watch the children outside, it was obvious that Conan was very curious about the case. He got rid of Mao Lilan and walked into the scene.
The coroner's examination of the body had been completed. After confirming that the cause of death was the stab in the back, he packed the body and took it away.
"This case is a little complicated!”
After questioning Yagami, Mu Shisan scratched his head. Okino Yoko was not a suspect, and Yagami was not a suspect either. It was very likely that neither of them were the murderer. If that was the case, it would be difficult to solve the case.
"Brother Takada, there seems to be something here!”
Conan, who was looking for clues in the room, found an earring under the seat of the sofa. However, he did not take it out himself. Instead, he called for Shinichi Takada, who was not far away.
"Let me see!"
Shinichi Takada walked over and laid on the floor to look inside. There was an earring inside, so he immediately called out to Mezuki Shisan. He had forgotten about the earring. After all, Conan's plot was so long that he could not remember every detail. He only remembered that Ikezawa Tomoko was called here. Otherwise, he would have found the earring long ago. He would not have waited until now.
She took out the earring and asked Okino if it belonged to her.
Yoko Okino shook her head and said,"This isn't mine. It seems to be Miss Tomoko's.”
" Ikezawa Tomoko is an artiste from a television station," Yamagishi explained." She has always held a grudge against Yoko because a role that had already been decided on for her ended up with Yoko.”
"Bring Ikezawa Tomoko here for questioning immediately.”
Mezuki Shisan immediately sent someone to bring Ikezawa Tomoko over.
Shinichi Takada smiled and walked out. Taking advantage of this time, he was ready to get to know the three future detectives outside. At the same time, he would look at the system's rating and strategy suggestions for Yoko Okino.
