Genshin Player in the World of Detective Conan

"You, you all—"

The young man was none other than Fujie Akiyoshi, Ono Yoko's ex-boyfriend.

He was also the one Yin Kong remembered as originally running to Yoko's apartment to commit suicide.

Clearly, in Fujie Akiyoshi's mind, as long as he could clarify the past misunderstanding, he would surely reconcile with Ono Yoko.

However, only at this moment did he suddenly realize that he had completely overlooked the most crucial factor: in this world, no one would always stay in the same place, foolishly waiting for an emotion that had long been abandoned.

"You're—Fujie? Fujie Akiyoshi?"

Recognizing the man, Ono Yoko was also shocked.

She instinctively glanced at Yin Kong, who was standing close by, afraid he might guess the man's identity.

Seeing Yin Kong's expression unchanged, Ono Yoko couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Still, the events of this day were overwhelming her mind.

Fortunately, compared to her experiences not long ago, Fujie Akiyoshi's sudden appearance, while surprising, was only that.

Therefore, after a moment of stunned silence, Ono Yoko quickly composed herself and asked calmly, "Fujie, what are you doing here?"

"I, I was just passing by."

Facing Ono Yoko, who acted like a stranger, Fujie Akiyoshi felt as if all his strength had been instantly drained. He listlessly lowered his head, not daring to look up again.

However, the police officer who brought him up suddenly said, "Just passing by? I don't think so."

This officer had bangs shaped like coral and looked about Takagi's age, but his demeanor was very arrogant, and his gaze towards Sato Miwako held undisguised admiration.

Chapter 25: Shiratori: Cheater!

"Officer Shiratori, do you suspect he's the stalker?"

Shiratori Sansaburo glanced dismissively at Takagi Wataru before slowly saying, "That's right, Mr. Fujie. Since you claim you were just passing by, you should remember why you were passing by, shouldn't you?"

"I... I..."

Seeing Fujie Akiyoshi stammering and completely unable to speak, Officer Shiratori's expression became even more triumphant. "Can't say? Then the answer is obvious. You are the murderer who sent the threatening letter and brutally killed the two victims!"

Fujie Akiyoshi froze for a moment before finally reacting, shaking his head frantically. "No! I didn't kill anyone! I was just passing by... to buy cigarettes nearby!"

Shiratori Sansaburo seemed to have expected this and immediately sneered, "No need to argue, Mr. Fujie! We've already questioned the nearby residents. Some said they saw you loitering around more than once, but your residence and company are both very far from here. How do you explain that, Mr. Stalker?"

Shiratori then gave Sato a smug smile and continued to press him, "So, tell me honestly, how did you kill the two victims?"

Fujie Akiyoshi was speechless and could only weakly repeat, "I didn't! I really didn't kill anyone..."

Just as Fujie Akiyoshi was about to be taken away for investigation, Yin Kong suddenly spoke up, "Officer Shiratori, I don't think Mr. Fujie is the killer."

Fujie Akiyoshi was stunned. He never expected Yin Kong to speak up for him. As for Shiratori Sansaburo, someone interrupting his performance in front of his crush naturally made him extremely displeased. He glanced askance at Yin Kong and rudely questioned, "And who are you?"

Yin Kong didn't answer his question but pointed to the overturned coffee table. "Look here."

What's so interesting about the coffee table? Shiratori Sansaburo was about to retort sarcastically when he heard Sato Miwako exclaim, "I see! So that's it, Yin Kong. Are you saying there were actually more than just those two victims in the apartment at the time?"

Hearing his crush's words, Shiratori Sansaburo's expression froze, and he could only swallow his retort.

Takagi scratched his head and asked, "So, Yin Kong, Officer Sato, what riddle are you two playing at?"

Yin Kong slowly explained, "Officer Shiratori believes that these two victims unfortunately met their end by encountering a stalker. But have you noticed? This overturned coffee table originally had four teacups filled with tea on it."

Takagi Wataru finally reacted:

"You mean, besides Mr. Yamagishi and Miss Yuko, there were two other people in the room at the time?"

Yin Kong lowered his head and exchanged a look with Ono Yoko before nodding:

"I believe so."

Sato pondered:

"So, the two who disappeared might be the real culprits?"

"I see, I understand!" Shiratori, who had been silent, suddenly pointed at Yin Kong and Ono Yoko, exclaiming, "Actually, you two are the ones who disappeared, aren't you?"

Yin Kong felt Ono Yoko's body tremble imperceptibly, but he sighed helplessly:

"Officer Shiratori, holding grudges like this is not a virtue an excellent detective should possess."

Takagi also nodded:

"That's right, how could Miss Yoko, who is so delicate, be the murderer?"

"Delicate? That's not necessarily true."

Shiratori sneered. Unlike Takagi and Sato, he came from the Shiratori Group and didn't have the same deep-seated bias towards idol stars like Ono Yoko.

He knew very well that these seemingly glamorous celebrity artists might not be as clean as they appeared:

"Since we're talking about making tea, why don't you think about it? If the two victims were meeting secretly, why would they go to the trouble of making tea?

But if Miss Yoko was the hostess, entertaining other guests, wouldn't that make perfect sense?"

He was indeed an elite from a conglomerate, and at least in terms of deduction, he was much better than Takagi.

This analysis was well-reasoned, and even Takagi couldn't help but show a look of suspicion on his face.

Unfortunately, let alone Shiratori Sansaburo here, even the genuine Shinigami Elementary School Student would never have imagined that Teleport Waypoints existed in this world.

So his triumph didn't last long before it was ruthlessly interrupted again.

"No, Officer Shiratori," Fei Yingli walked in from outside the door, stating with certainty, "I can testify that Mr. Yin Kong and Miss Yoko could never be the murderers."

Noticing everyone's gaze, the great lawyer's expression couldn't help but stiffen for a moment.

After all, although no one could hear her confident inner thoughts from before, among everyone present, she was the only one who couldn't help but blurt something out, which was difficult for the extremely proud Fei Yingli to accept.

Looking at the imposing Fei Yingli, Shiratori frowned:

"And you are?"

Sato immediately introduced:

"This is Fei Yingli, Lawyer Fei."

"Lawyer Fei?" Shiratori was taken aback and hesitated, "Could it be... the Unbeatable Queen of the Legal World?"

Not only Sato and Takagi, but even Ono Yoko couldn't help but show a surprised expression, as the title sounded extraordinary.

Sensing Ono Yoko's body relax again, Yin Kong also looked at Fei Yingli and asked curiously:

"Lawyer Fei can testify for me?"

Fei Yingli nodded gently and began to explain:

"Perhaps it's fate. I just asked the police officers outside. The neighbors heard a loud noise and screams and called the police at 1:42 PM. But less than ten minutes later, at 1:49 PM, my assistant accidentally bumped into Miss Yoko.

Because we had an appointment, this time is absolutely correct.

However, we've already tried it. Driving from that location would take at least twenty minutes, so these two naturally couldn't be the murderers."

Hearing this, Takagi breathed a sigh of relief:

"I knew it, how could Yin Kong and Miss Yoko be the murderers?"

However, Officer Shiratori was clearly unwilling to admit defeat:

"No, 1:42 PM was just the time the police were called. Perhaps Mr. Yamagishi and Miss Yuko were already murdered long before that..."

Fei Yingli gently shook her head and said slowly:

"Officer Shiratori, I have naturally considered your question. But unfortunately, at 12:30 PM, Mr. Yamagishi went to the security room with Miss Ikezawa's photo to inquire. At the same time, Miss Ikezawa was attending a banquet.

It wasn't until 1:08 PM that Miss Ikezawa hurriedly left after receiving a call from Miss Yoko.

And it is estimated that it takes about half an hour to drive from the banquet venue to this apartment, which basically matches the time the police were called. Officer Shiratori, do you have any other questions?"

Chapter 26 Painted Skin

Fei Yingli, as expected of a renowned lawyer, her deductive abilities might not be comparable to the top detectives in this world, but her logic was almost impeccable.

In just a few words, she silenced the arrogant Shiratori Sansaburo.

"Officer Shiratori, do you have any other questions?"

Facing Fei Yingli's seemingly calm but in fact impeccable inquiry, Shiratori, in his panic, finally spoke without thinking:

"This is all just your one-sided statement, isn't it? What if you were actually--"

"Officer Shiratori!"

Hearing this questioning, Fei Yingli's originally calm gaze instantly turned sharp.

The unbeatable queen of the legal world took a slow step forward. Though her hands were empty, Yin Kong felt as if she were holding a precious sword:

"Are you accusing me of helping these two commit perjury? Officer Shiratori, are you sure you want to take responsibility for your words?"

Shiratori was completely silenced.

This was because he knew very well that Fei Yingli was not an ordinary person like Fujie Akiyoshi, someone he could easily manipulate.

If he accidentally gave this great lawyer a handle to grab, it could truly cause him immense trouble.

It wouldn't even be difficult to set his police career back by several years for no good reason.

Watching Shiratori fall into complete silence, Yin Kong could imagine how this "unbeatable queen of the legal world" had cornered her opponents step by step in the past.

Sato coughed lightly, helping her colleague out of his predicament:

"Cough, cough, Lawyer Fei, I think Shiratori was just speaking casually and doesn't actually suspect you."

"It's best if that's the case."

Fei Yingli also understood the wisdom of knowing when to stop pushing, and didn't continue to be aggressive.

Shiratori, having hit a hard wall, was unwilling to stay any longer. After finding an excuse, he left with a dejected Fujie Akiyoshi.

Looking at their retreating figures, they seemed to share a similar plight.

"Speaking of which, rather than the two who disappeared, I'm more curious about the murderer's method."

Having already vomited once, seeing the remains of the two corpses again, Fei Yingli still felt intense discomfort, but it wasn't to the point of losing composure.

She carefully examined the crime scene, her expression growing stranger:

"What kind of killing method could leave behind such bizarre corpses?"
