Fujino: I'm a Decent Person!

Fujino sat on the sofa in the villa's guest room, deep in thought.

At that moment, the door suddenly opened.

Mori Kogoro entered the room with Uchiki Ruri.

Having brought her over, Mori Kogoro turned and left. "I'll leave the rest to you, Fujino."

Fujino pushed the teacup toward her. "I'm not interrogating a criminal. There's no need to be so nervous."

Uchiki Ruri glanced at
