"Ran, do you feel a bit hot in the Apartment?"
"The temperature is so high, the heating from the air conditioner is really strong!"
"And next to the deceased, there seems to be a puddle of water."
"There are also strange indentations on the floor!"
Protected by Ran, Ishikawa Takeshi was naturally able to speak smoothly without being interrupted.
Conan's eyes immediately widened, his face full of disbelief.
This guy, those are all my lines!
Yoko Okino immediately frowned:
"That's strange, I remember turning off the air conditioner in the room when I left!"
"And I also cleaned, the floor was very clean, how could this be!"
Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately squatted down to examine it.
There really were these marks on the floor!
It was very strange for these marks to appear next to the body at the same time!
However, with Kogoro Mouri's brain capacity, it was difficult to put these clues together.
Ishikawa Takeshi then continued to speak:
"You can look under the sofa. The child with glasses has been staring under the sofa as if there's something there!"
Normally, the adults wouldn't pay attention to a child's words.
But as soon as Ishikawa Takeshi spoke, he seemed to have a magical effect on the opposite sex.
Yoko Okino wanted to go forward and check.
Kogoro Mouri, seeing his favorite idol react this way, also looked under the sofa.
Suddenly, both of them saw an earring.
Kogoro Mouri took out the earring.
After careful identification for a moment, the manager, Yamagishi You, immediately said, "This seems to be Ikisawa Yuko's earring!"
"Could it be that Yuko has been here before?"
"I remember now, Yuko seemed to have gone to the lounge where I lost my key three days ago!"
...
Inspector Megure immediately inquired, "Who is Ikisawa Yuko?"
Yamagishi You then spoke, "She is an artist from the same entertainment agency as us, a few years older than Yoko."
"She is in competition with Yoko in some business matters."
"Last time, she competed with Yoko for the lead role in the morning drama, but she lost!"
Kogoro Mouri's eyes immediately lit up:
"Then I know! The culprit must be this Ikisawa Yuko!"
"Because she lost the morning drama role, she harbored resentment towards Yoko."
"She even went as far as to kill someone and frame Yoko. How cruel!"
"Inspector Megure, quickly send someone to arrest that person!"
Hearing Kogoro Mouri's baseless deduction, Inspector Megure's face instantly darkened.
After not seeing him for half a year, this guy really hasn't made any progress!
However, this Ikisawa Yuko sounded like a suspect.
Inspector Megure then said, "Takagi, please invite Ikisawa Yuko over here to cooperate with the investigation!"
Takagi Wataru then left as ordered!
Yoko Okino then came before Ishikawa Takeshi and said gratefully, "Xiao Wu, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't have found these things."
Conan immediately became furious.
Eh! Eh? Eh!
I discovered these first!
Why are they thanking this little brat?
Ran, however, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Wu, weren't you being held by me? How did you see these things?"
Ishikawa Takeshi then said, "My eyes have been very sharp since I was young. Even very small things, I can see clearly from afar."
"Sugoi!"
"My Xiao Wu is really amazing!"
As she spoke, the high school girl started touching him again.
Her small head leaned in, and she started "cat-sucking" this little boy again.
Feeling completely soft and warm, Ishikawa Takeshi couldn't help but struggle:
"Don't do that, haha, it tickles, it tickles so much!"
Conan then became disheartened, like a flickering candle in the wind.
All the happiness was theirs, and it had nothing to do with him.
Damn Conan!
This treatment should clearly be mine!
You all just wait, I'll solve this case first and show you how amazing I am.
Conan, feeling that Ishikawa Takeshi had stolen his thunder, became competitive and began to concentrate on investigating the case.
......
Not long after, the sound of high heels was heard!
Accompanied by a female voice, a woman in a leopard print coat walked in assertively.
"That's really strange. Why are they looking for me when there's a body in Yoko's Apartment?"
"What does this have to do with me? What can I cooperate with?"
The person who arrived was none other than Ikisawa Yuko!
Her expression seemed somewhat schadenfreude.
Meanwhile, Takagi Wataru beside her was bowing and scraping, utterly timid.
"That's because your earring was found in Yoko Okino's Apartment!"
Upon hearing this, Ikisawa Yuko saw the single earring on the table, which was a piece of evidence, and said,
"It really is my earring!"
"I haven't seen it for days, and I thought someone had stolen it!"
"Yoko, if you wanted it, you just had to ask me."
"How can you be a pop idol with such sticky fingers?"
Yoko Okino's face immediately puffed up with anger!
"I didn't steal yours!"
"You secretly came to my house and dropped your earring here!"
Ikisawa Yuko glared back impolitely:
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
"Just because you say I've been here means I have? Why don't you say I can fly to the heavens?"
"This place of yours, I wouldn't come even if you invited me."
"If you took my earring, then you took it. I won't bother arguing with you anyway!"
Upon hearing this, Yoko Okino became even more furious.
The two female artists stared at each other, their eyes locked in a fierce confrontation.
Within their gazes, sparks seemed to fly!
......
Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri both felt it was a bit tricky.
Ikisawa Yuko, who arrived, was no easy opponent!
She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years; there probably wasn't much honesty in her words!
However, they couldn't just watch the two of them tear into each other.
Inspector Megure stepped forward to mediate:
"You don't need to get so agitated. We're just asking you to cooperate with the investigation."
"As long as there's no problem, we, the police, will clear your names."
"Hmph, police, what good are you!"
Ikisawa Yuko disdainfully rolled her eyes at Inspector Megure.
With that, she went off on her own towards the toilet inside the Apartment.
After using the toilet, she even found a chair to sit on.
She crossed her legs and casually picked up the Statue of Liberty on the table.
She pressed a certain spot, lit a flame, and began to puff away.
The entire process was utterly self-absorbed!
She didn't act like a female artist, but more like a female hooligan!
"Alright, what do you want me to cooperate with for the investigation?!"
Seeing this scene, Conan's eyes narrowed involuntarily!
But before he could speak, Ishikawa Takeshi, who was in Ran's arms, spoke first:
"How amazing, this big sister said she hasn't been here, but she directly found the toilet hidden in the inner room."
"And this Statue of Liberty on the table, I always thought it was a sculpture, but big sister knew it was a lighter."
"And she pressed the switch right away and lit it up, how amazing!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly reacted.
All these actions were not something someone visiting Yoko Okino's house for the first time could do.
This woman was lying; she had indeed been to Yoko's house before.
Ikisawa Yuko's entire expression was flustered!
She hadn't expected to be exposed from this point.
And Conan was looking at Ishikawa Takeshi with a surprised expression.
That was my line too!
How could this kid discover the exact same thing as me!
His reaction is too fast, could he also be very smart?
That's not right, I don't think I was at that level when I was a child!
Conan was instantly a bit disheartened!
