Chapter 23 The end of the incident
"And it's not just a simple acquaintance..."

Yoko Okino said with a sad face: "That person was my boyfriend in high school."

"What did you say?"

Inspector Megure was completely stunned.

Although he had no interest in following these stars, he would occasionally see some news about Yoko Okino on TV.

Inspector Megure has never heard that Yoko Okino has a boyfriend.

This is a big revelation. If the news media accidentally finds out, who knows how they will mock and ridicule her.

No... now is not the time to think about these things.

Inspector Megure shook his head and came back to his senses.

"Yoko! Didn't you agree to forget about this matter?" The agent complained somewhat unhappily.

"Mr. Yamagishi, I'm sorry, but this is the only thing I can't hide." Yoko Okino bowed apologetically.

Conan watched these adults arguing in silence, secretly complaining in his heart.

"Damn it, kids just don't have a say, no one wants to pay attention to me."

He walked around the room somewhat bored, hoping to find more clues.

Finally, Conan focused his attention on the floor near the chair, where he had previously found a water stain.

Now if you look closely, you will see that after the water stains disappeared, a small hole appeared on the ground.

Most people would not notice an inconspicuous little pit like this, but Conan, who had a keen sense of perception, noticed it.

"This little pit, wait a minute..."

"So that's it, the mystery is finally solved!"

…………

On the other side, Maori Kogoro raised his arm menacingly, pointed at his agent, Mr. Yamagishi, and said firmly: "The criminal is you, Yamagishi!"

"You were worried that Miss Yoko wouldn't get involved in any scandals, and that man was a nuisance, so at that time, you sneaked into this room, unexpectedly met that man, and killed him!"

Kogoro Mori had a lit cigarette in his mouth and became more and more confident as he spoke, and even his eyes became sharper.

After saying that, he grabbed Yamagishi's manager by the collar and shouted, "You are the criminal, there is no doubt about it!"

"It's not me!"

Manager Yamagishi shook his head frantically.

The situation fell into chaos.

Seeing the inflated Kogoro Mouri start talking nonsense again, Conan, who knew the truth, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"No, the murderer is not Mr. Yamagishi..."

A white light flashed on Conan's lenses. After hesitating for a moment, he made a decisive decision.

"I'm sorry, uncle!"

Conan apologized in his heart, then raised his legs and made the same movement he used to make when he played football on the playground, kicking an ashtray on the ground hard.

Swish!
The heavy ashtray flew straight towards Kogoro Mori's head, trying to knock him out.

At this moment, a small hand quickly reached out and caught the ashtray.

Conan was completely stunned when faced with this situation.

After reacting, he looked speechlessly at the blond boy who suddenly intervened: "What are you doing?"

"I should be the one asking you this." Ze Yu threw the ashtray on the ground and said casually, "What are you doing? Assassinating your father-in-law? You are such a filial son."

"No, don't interrupt..."

Conan's face showed an anxious expression, which was difficult to explain for the time being.

Ze Yu put his left index finger on his lips, hushed, and said in a low voice: "Look what this is?" After he finished speaking, he gently shook his right hand.

Seeing this, Conan widened his eyes in surprise. He looked carefully and found that Sawawa was holding a thin thread several meters long in his right hand, and the other end of the thread was tied to Mouri Kogoro's leg.

The strand had a hint of gold in it, was so thin it was barely noticeable, and looked like... hair?
That’s right, this thin thread is Ze Yu’s hair.

Long before anyone noticed, he had already tied the hair to Kogoro Mouri's leg.

If it weren't for Ze Yu's reminder, Conan wouldn't even have noticed this detail.

"You mean..."

Conan seemed to have guessed something, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"As long as the current is large enough, anything can conduct electricity." Ze Yu smiled lightly: "Conan, what is your choice?"

"Go ahead." Conan said without hesitation: "Stun him."

"I can't believe you're so cruel."

Ze Yu said jokingly, and then he saw a barely perceptible flash of electric light on his palm, which was transmitted through the hair on his hand.

Boo!
"You guys still refuse to admit your mistakes? Tell me everything right now... Ugh!"

The originally aggressive Maori Kogoro was suddenly stunned, loosened his hand that was grabbing the other person's collar, took a few steps back uncontrollably, and sat directly on the sofa with a thud.

Kogoro Mouri lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

While everyone's attention was drawn to Kogoro, Conan took the opportunity to run behind the sofa and sit down, adjusting the bow tie voice changer in his hand.

Then, Conan imitated Maori Kogoro's voice through the voice changer and said in a deep voice: "…Actually, what I want to say is not like this."

…………

"Mr. Yamagishi, if you were the criminal and came to us for help so that we could find the body, you should have prepared evidence to prove that you were innocent..."

"Ms. Yoko, the same to you..."

"So, the criminal is Ms. Ikezawa Yuko?"

"It's not her, either."

"From what you said, could it be that..."

"That's right. Although it's unbelievable, the real criminal is..."

"Mr. Fujie himself is already dead!"

…………

Ten minutes later, the truth came out.

All the steps and details of this incident were narrated by Conan through the identity of Kogoro Mori.

This is just a simple misunderstanding.

Akiyoshi Fujie and Yoko Okino were boyfriend and girlfriend in high school and had a very good relationship.

Later, when Yoko Okino became a famous star, in order to prevent the troublesome Akiyoshi Fujie from hindering Yoko Okino's future, her agent Mr. Yamagishi met with Fujie in private without informing Yoko Okino and asked Fujie to sever their relationship.

Although Fujie Akiyoshi chose to back down and cut off his relationship with Okino Yoko at that time, after a long time, he could not bear the loneliness and wanted to get back together with his ex-girlfriend.

So, Fujie Akiyoshi sneaked into Okino Yoko's home and happened to meet her competitor, Miss Ikezawa Yuko, who was searching for negative information about Yoko in her home.

Because the lights in the room were not on, the light was too dark, and Fujie Akiyoshi happened to mistake Ikezawa Yuko for his ex-girlfriend Okino Yoko, and went up to harass her.

The final result was obvious. Yuko Ikezawa was not someone to be trifled with. She broke free, slapped Fujie Akiyoshi, and then ran away.

After being slapped, Fujie Akiyoshi's self-confidence was severely hit. He lost hope in life and chose to end his life in the house. He also created a scene of homicide and wanted to frame the innocent Okino Yoko and make her suffer imprisonment for no reason.

Yoko Okino, who was kept in the dark, had no idea of ​​all this. She just happened to enter the house with Kogoro Mori and his group and happened to see this scene in the house.

This is what happened, a tragedy caused by a misunderstanding.
