Chapter 10 A bold idea

With pink walls and wooden striped floors, Okino Yoko's room is very simple, with not much furniture.

Maybe it's just a temporary residence.

As soon as he entered the room, Fujino felt a stifling 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 lay directly on the ground with a fruit knife stuck behind its back.

Looking at the somewhat stiff corpse, Fujino felt an indescribable throb arise in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy and even a little nauseous.

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 detective, this high school detective usually takes on commissions such as finding cats and dogs, and finding people to have affairs.

He has never taken on 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 to the sofa in the corner of the room.

Then he leaned down slightly and groped underneath.

Soon, he touched something hard.

When I took it out, I saw it was an earring.

Looking at the golden earrings in his hands, Fujino couldn't help but frown.

If he remembered correctly, these 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 entrusting him, Ikezawa Yuko finally came here to break into the house and investigate, which led to the blood-stained idol case.

Does that stupid woman not trust him?

Fujino put the earrings in his pocket, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But when things have developed to this extent, the original trouble has been solved.

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 sirens blaring, the police arrived at the crime scene.

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.

"That's right."

Yoko Okino lowered his head, with a trace of sadness hidden in his 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?"

"Um."

Fujino nodded and introduced himself: "My name is Fujino, and I am 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."

"I see, 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 solving recent cases made him very anxious.

I wonder if this guy is the same brother as Kudo Shinichi.

After thinking for a while, Megure Thirteen asked Fujino again: "If I remember correctly, the police call should have been made by you, Brother Fujino. I wonder if you found any clues at the scene."

"If there are any clues..."

Fujino frowned, "Maybe the temperature in the room is a little high."

"The room temperature is too high..."

Mumu Shisan wiped a handful of sweat from his temples, "I have felt since 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 strange..."

Taking a deep breath, Memu Shisan asked the forensic police officer who was investigating the cause of death of the body: "How is it? Is the cause of death of the deceased clearly investigated?"

"It has been investigated clearly."

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 doubting Yoko?!"

At this time, the manager looked panicked and looked at Mumu Shisan in surprise.

"Judging from the current evidence, Yoko Okino has a huge motive for murder..."

After saying that, Megure Thirteen frowned and asked dissatisfiedly towards the manager with a sinister look: "But who are you? Why do you care so much about whether we suspect Okino Yoko?"

"I...I am Yoko's manager, Eiichi Yamagishi."

"It turns out to be Yoko Okino's agent. No wonder..."

Mumu 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, but the shock was hidden after a moment.

"I...I want to see more clearly."

The agent noticed a trace of long hair in the deceased's hand, and as he spoke, he approached the body.

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: "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, Fujino gradually raised the corners of his mouth, squinting his eyes and smiling slightly, like a cunning fox.

"How...how could it be!"

The agent was flustered and quickly explained: "I just slipped!"

"Is it really just a slippery foot?"

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..."
