Chapter 10 A Bold Idea With pink walls and wooden strip floors, Yoko Okino's room is very simple, and there is not even much furniture.
Maybe it's just a temporary residence.
As soon as he entered the room, Fujino felt a stuffy heat.
Looking up, the central air conditioner in the room was blowing hot air continuously.
"If I remember correctly, this should be an important breakthrough in this case."
Fujino looked at the central air conditioner, murmured, and then turned his attention to the body on the floor in the center of the room.
The body was lying straight on the ground with a fruit knife stuck in the back.
Looking at this somewhat stiff corpse, Fujino felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart.
Suddenly, he felt dizzy and even nauseated.
After taking a deep breath and waiting until the physical discomfort subsided, Fujino sighed: "As expected, are you still a little uncomfortable?"
To be honest, this was the first time Fujino had seen such a fresh corpse.
Although he was originally a high school student detective, this high school student detective usually takes over commissions such as finding cats and dogs, finding people to have affairs with, and so on.
He has never taken over a murder case like this.
However, Fujino's ability to accept was very strong, and after a while, the discomfort disappeared.
The strange feeling faded, and Fujino glanced behind him.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, he walked towards the sofa in the corner of the room.
Then he bent down lightly and groped for the bottom.
Soon, he touched something hard.
When I took it out, I saw it was an earring.
Looking at the golden earrings in his hand, Fujino couldn't help frowning.
If he remembered correctly, this should be Ikezawa Yuko's earrings.
Originally, he thought that since Ikezawa Yuko entrusted him, he would not come here to conduct a search...but the reality was not as good as imagined after all.
After Ikezawa Yuko entrusted him, she finally came here to investigate, which led to the blood-stained idol case.
Did that silly woman not trust him?
Fujino put the earrings in his pocket, feeling a little uncomfortable.
However, when the matter developed to this extent, the original troubles were easily resolved.
After thinking for a moment, a bold idea came to Fujino's mind.
Perhaps, he might be able to make a lot of money this time.
…………
Five minutes later, with the sound of sirens, the police arrived at the scene of the crime.
The team was led by a fat man named Memu Shisan.
"So, you're saying that when you got home, you found this man murdered?"
Megure Thirteen looked at Okino Yoko and asked as usual.
"Yes."
Okino Yoko lowered her head, with a trace of sadness hidden in her eyes, "Just after I came back from Detective Fujino, I just opened the door and saw the room where he died..."
"Detective Fujino..."
Hearing this, Megure Thirteen turned to look at Fujino: "Are you the detective who discovered the crime scene by Okino Yoko?"
"Ah."
Fujino nodded, and introduced himself: "My name is Fujino, and I'm a detective."
"You're not a high school detective, are you?"
Megure Thirteen looked at Fujino's slightly immature but older face and wondered.
"That's right...I'm still a high school student..."
Fujino nodded and continued: "He is from the same school as Kudo Shinichi."
"So that's it, it's Brother Fujino."
Megure Thirteen looked at Fujino and recalled a familiar figure of a certain brother in his mind.
Thinking back on it, it seems like Brother Kudo hasn't shown up for a long time, right? The efficiency of the recent case cracking made him very anxious.
I don't know if this kid is the same brother as Kudo Shinichi.
After thinking for a while, Mu Mu Shisan asked Fujino again: "If I remember correctly, Brother Fujino should have called the police. I don't know if you found any clues at the scene."
"If there are any clues..."
Fujino frowned, "Maybe it's because the temperature in the room is a little high."
"The room temperature is too high..."
Mu Mu Thirteen wiped the sweat from his temples, "I've felt from just now that the room temperature in this room is indeed a bit hot."
With that said, he asked Okino Yoko: "Ms. Yoko, has the air conditioner in this room been turned on so high from the beginning?"
"no!"
Okino Yoko was stunned when he heard this: "I remember that there was a power outage in the room when I went out in the morning."
"That's weird..."
Taking a deep breath, Mo Mushisan asked the policeman from the forensics department who was investigating the cause of death of the corpse, "How is it? Has the cause of death of the deceased been investigated clearly?"
"It has been investigated."
Next to the body, a policeman from the Forensic Division wearing blue overalls raised his head and said: "The cause of death of the deceased was a fatal blow with a fruit knife on the back. The time of death is difficult to estimate because the room temperature was too high."
Nodding, Megure Thirteen stared at Okino Yoko suspiciously: "Miss Yoko, if I am not mistaken, the knife on the murderer should also be yours..."
"Officer! Are you suspicious of Yoko?!"
At this time, the manager looked panicked and looked at Mumu Shisan in surprise.
"Judging from the current evidence, Okino Yoko has a big motive for killing..."
After saying that, Megure Thirteen frowned and asked dissatisfiedly towards the manager with a sinister look on his face: "But who are you? Why do you care so much about whether we suspect Okino Yoko?"
"I...I am Yoko's manager, Eiichi Yamagishi."
"So it's Yoko Okino's manager, no wonder..."
Mu Mu Shisan murmured, and then said: "Speaking of which, do you two know the deceased?"
The two people looked at the deceased carefully, and then their faces showed very shocked expressions.
But I don't know why, the shock was hidden after a moment.
"I...I want to see more clearly."
The agent noticed a strand of long hair in the dead man's hand, and approached the corpse as he spoke.
Suddenly, his foot slipped and he almost fell on the corpse.
But just when he was about to fall, Fujino grabbed him from behind.
Pulling the agent up, Fujino showed a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Agent, slipping next to the corpse will affect the handling of the case!"
"Or are you approaching the body intentionally to influence the police's handling of the case?"
As he spoke, the corners of Fujino's mouth gradually lifted, and he squinted and smiled, like a cunning fox.
"How...how could it be!"
The agent was flustered and quickly explained: "I just slipped!"
"Is it really just slipping?"
Fujino's squinted eyes became deeper and deeper, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became colder, "Why do I feel like you know the deceased..."
