Pretend To Be a Good Person In the World of Conan

Chapter 18: Philosophy 3 Questions

"I'm looking at the chandelier on the ceiling. This style of decoration is a bit like a case recorded by my senior." Shiraishi made a fool of himself.

After that, he posed a series of questions to the Mumu Police Department around the case.

But after asking for a long time, I failed to receive the task successfully.

Shiraishi thought for a while, then restrained his shame, and said some middle two lines such as "Let me leave this case to me".

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work - the taskbar is empty.

… If we talk more, even the rough nerves of the Muji police department will definitely be able to detect something wrong.

Shiraishi could only let him go in disappointment. How should he accept the quest... Shouldn't he really have to pull the F key to bring him here?

However, thinking of the keyboard, Shiraishi suddenly had an idea.

He took the temporarily borrowed camera, walked to a place with few people, squatted down and pretended to take a picture, but actually turned on the light screen and looked at the initial interface.

Shiraishi remembers that on the initial interface, there will be a stickman representing himself, and at the same time, a topographic map within a certain range around the character will also be displayed.

At this moment, a model of Yoko Okino's house was spread out on the screen.

And behind the stickman representing Shiraishi, there is a brown stickman sitting on a chair, with a bubble exclamation mark on its head.

There are doors.

Shiraishi's eyes lit up, he raised his hand and poked the stickman secretly.

The brown stickman shook his head, and after a while, the bubble above his head slowly expanded and elongated into a rectangular task box.

[Tonight, the unknown Maori Detective Agency was lucky enough to receive a commission:

The popular idol Yoko Okino is very distressed. For the past month, she felt that someone was following her.

This is not a hallucination - since two weeks ago, she has received many candid photos one after another. Threatening letters are often shoved through the cracks of her door, and unpleasant silent phone calls are always on time at 0:00 midnight…

A week ago, the situation became more serious. Yoko Okino found that the drawers in the house were messed up and the furniture was moved.

Only then did she realize that the invisible stalker had invaded her home unknowingly. Maybe he was hiding behind the curtains, in the wardrobe, under the edge of the bed... Admiring her frightened appearance.

- The encounter with the idol made her fan brother Mouri Kogoro angry, and readily accepted the commission.

However, following Yoko Okino to her apartment and opening the door, the detective was not greeted by the idol's pink and lovely room.

It was the corpse of a strange man lying across the hall]

【mission target:】

The whole page ends abruptly here.

Baishi swiped down, only to find that because of the too many words, the dialog box had reached the bottom of the light screen, and the content behind it had turned pages.

...It would be great to put the words "mission target" at the back, it's so uncomfortable to look at. "

Shiraishi pressed the page to turn, and while waiting for the page to refresh, he rummaged through memories from his elementary school days, trying to remember who the culprit was.

-First rule out Yoko Okino. In the original book, this idol made a lot of appearances, and she must not have been caught.

The rest are Yoko Okino's manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, and Yuko Ikezawa who appeared here inexplicably.

When the police officer asked Ikezawa Yuko just now, Shiraishi also overheard and learned that she was an artist who debuted at the same time as Okino Yoko.

The fact that the earring fell next to the corpse, ran away when he saw the police, and kept his mouth shut about what he was doing, made Yuko Ikezawa suspicious.

So suspicious, so it shouldn't be the murderer... Shiraishi silently crossed her out.

The rest, it seems, are only skinny brokers.

After the initial guess, Shiraishi regained his senses and looked at the task bar again.

Originally, he thought that the goal of the mission would be to "rescue innocent people who were wrongly accused of being murderers" or "find out the real murderer".

As a result, when I looked closely, the words were:

【Liberate the wandering soul full of resentment】

"?" Shiraishi was startled.

...In the world of scientific reasoning, you actually told me that there are wandering souls?

Under his suspicious gaze, the words on the light screen quickly changed:

[In the eyes of the deceased Fujie Mingyi, after he committed suicide, he was "reborn".

Please plan a life without too many regrets for him on the premise of preventing his fall. After success, you will cheat #¥%*...get his soul crystal as a reward]

【Coming soon to the virtual world planning station】

[Countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

"..." What happened to the word "cheat" that was silenced halfway through!

And...suicide?

Before he had time to think more, Shiraishi suddenly felt that he was detached from his body.

The experience is amazing, like the legendary out-of-body experience. At the same time, the scene around him changed rapidly.

It didn't take long for Baishi to sink down suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked around, and found himself standing in an illusory space.

It's like a movie theater without stools.

There is a screen floating in the air ahead. Aside from the screen and his location, the outside is heart-pounding darkness.

--real world--

Conan turned around a few times before he found a lot of doubts.

- When I first entered the house, the air conditioner was on very high, and the warm air was blowing. Combined with the faint water spots around the dead, Conan thought of ice cubes.

In addition, the manager and Yoko Okino said they didn't know the deceased, but when they saw the deceased's appearance, their reaction was too great.

There are also many problems with Ikezawa Yuko. It can be seen from various details that she is very familiar with Yoko Okino's home. But she said it was the first time.

Looking for more clues, Conan starts to check the living room again.

Soon, he paused slightly and noticed the young man living downstairs in his house.

Just now, after overhearing the conversation between Shiraishi and the Mumu police department, and knowing that he was a student who came to collect materials and not a suspect, Conan stopped paying attention to him.

But now, Conan suddenly realized that Shiraishi had been squatting beside the corpse for a while.

...are there details there that he didn't notice?

Conan walked over and asked in a drawn-out childish voice, "What's wrong here?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he saw a small trace in his sharp eyes.

—In front of Shiraishi to the left, there is an inconspicuous dent in the humanoid coil. The trace was vaguely oval in shape and about three centimeters in length, as if it had been smashed by something heavy.

Staring at the trace for a few seconds, it was like finding the most crucial piece of the puzzle, and countless clues began to quickly piece together in Conan's mind.

...the way the dead will die, he has completely figured it out!

The joy of spelling out the truth makes Conan very satisfied.

Not long after he became a child, he instantly forgot his identity, and slapped Baishi's shoulder with a habitual slap: "Thank you, it's a big help!"

As soon as the words came out, when he heard his childish voice, Conan felt something was wrong.

He groaned in his heart, laughing and trying to fool him.

However, the people next to him did not cast a surprised look at him.

—Shiroishi closed his eyes and fell to the side following the force of the shot.

"...Hey, are you alright!" Conan was shocked, how could he suddenly die on the spot while performing at such a young age.

He quickly felt his pulse, opened Shiraishi's eyelids to take a look, and then stretched out his hand to try to breathe... No matter how he checked it, there was no problem.

In the end, Conan could only come to a conclusion slightly confused: "Asleep?"

Are graduate students so stressed? Fortunately, he has no plans to study for the time being.

No one else noticed such a big movement.

One is that Conan seems to have a passive skill of "no one can see me at the crime scene", and the other is that their attention was all attracted by Kogoro Mouri.

—The middle-aged uncle twisted his mustache and let out a series of low smiles, and then he said firmly:

"This time, my reasoning won't go wrong again."

Conan's heart suddenly mentioned.

On the day he became smaller, after analyzing it with Dr. Aga, he believed that only by making Kogoro Mouri, a confused detective, more famous, could he be exposed to more cases and find clues about the Black Organization.

Now, it is obviously too late to hint at the truth of Maori Kogoro, and let him solve the case himself.

...but even if he doesn't gain fame, he can't let him tell the wrong truth, his reputation is bad enough!

How to do…

Suddenly, Conan's eyes fell on Shiraishi who was "sleeping" beside him.

Conan looked at Shiraishi, and then looked down at the bow-tie voice changer on his neckline, as if a small light bulb biu lit up in his mind.

At this time, Maori Kogoro's strong voice sounded: "The murderer is—"

He turned around suddenly and raised his hand, pointing at the suspects imposingly, and the answer was about to blurt out.

However, another voice suddenly interjected, followed by his words: "—the deceased himself."

"?"

This answer shocked everyone.

They turned their heads after the sound, and in the center of the living room, Bai Shi was sitting on the legs of the stool, his head bowed, his eyes buried in a deep shadow.

Under the gazes of everyone, "he" spoke again, insisting:

"It's a suicide."

In fact, the two cases were mixed together.

The first is the stalking incident - the culprit is Ikezawa Yuko, and she wants to intimidate Okino Yoko in this way. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

This evening, she slipped into Yoko Okino's house as usual.

But what was different from the past was that this time, she quietly followed another person behind her - Akira Fujie.

Ikezawa Yuko didn't turn on the light, and her figure and back were very similar to Okino Yoko. Fujie Mingyi recognized the wrong person and rushed in excitedly to hug her. Ikezawa Yuko accidentally dropped the earring when she resisted. Then fled in embarrassment.

Akiyoshi Fujie, who was left behind, thought that it was Yoko Okino who rejected him.

Frustrated, in order to retaliate against Yoko Okino, he used ice cubes to place the tip of the kitchen knife on the ground, then stood on a chair and fell down with his back to the tip of the knife, creating a knife in his own vest, which was captured by others. The illusion of killing.

Combined with the various traces in the room, this statement is very tenable, but there is one problem...

Mumu Police Department wondered: "Why did the deceased do this? Miss Okino, do you really have no impression of him?"

He looked at Yoko Okino and suddenly stopped.

- This lively and lovely idol, I don't know when she has burst into tears, she covered her face and shrugged her shoulders when she cried.

A group of people looked at her like this, and couldn't believe her testimony that she "did not know the dead".

The Mumu Police Department became serious: "What is the relationship between you two?"

"I don't know, I really don't know." The manager stood in front of Yoko Okino and struggled to the death.

Yoko Okino put down the hand covering his face.

She lowered her head and stared at her toes for a while, and finally made up her mind. In the voice of the manager's shocked "Don't!", Yoko Okino whispered in a dreamy voice:

"Akiyoshi Fujie."

"...He's my ex-boyfriend and my first love."
