Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Shinsuke Fuyuyama hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the photograph.

The first image shows Kenichi Nagata embracing Shizuka Horiuchi as they enter a hotel.
The second picture shows the two kissing in the elevator.
The third picture shows the two of them cuddling intimately as they came out in the early hours of the morning...

"No! Impossible!"

A hoarse roar burst from Fuyuyama Shinsuke's throat.

He abruptly swept the photos off the table, scattering them all over the floor.

Officer Matsumoto watched his breakdown without showing any emotion. He simply took out a recorder from his pocket and pressed the play button.

Horiuchi Shizuka's familiar, smug voice immediately echoed in the interrogation room: "That silly boy is so easy to fool. He believed me when I said I was pregnant and actually thought I would have his child... He doesn't even realize that if I really wanted to have a child, how could things have come to this with Shingo?"

"how so……"

Shinsuke Fuyuyama covered his head, his voice filled with despair, tears streaming down his face.

"Impossible! These must be fakes! How could she possibly lie to me!"

He suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with obsessive persistence.
“She said she loves me! She said she's pregnant with my child, our child! She also said that once I get out of prison, we'll take the child and leave this place…”

Officer Matsumoto sighed, his tone cold yet tinged with pity: "You're a college student, you shouldn't be stupid."

"Horouchi Shizuka's husband, Horouchi Shingo, is handsome, from a prominent family, and wealthy. Despite this, Horouchi Shizuka refused to have children with him, argued with him every day, and even considered divorce."

"Think about it, given your circumstances, what makes you think that Horiuchi Shizuka, a college student from an ordinary family with a withdrawn personality, would be willing to do so much for you?"

Shinsuke Fuyuyama opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but found that his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.

Yes, what gives him the right?

Shizuka Horiuchi is a former female celebrity who has gained widespread attention, while he is just an ordinary student.

They had only known each other for half a month. How could she suddenly fall in love with him and even be willing to have his child?

All those sweet moments and tender promises from before surged through his mind, only to turn into sharp mockery.

"You've only known each other for half a month, and you really think Horiuchi Shizuka is pregnant with your child?"

Officer Matsumoto's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of sneer.
"Wake up, you silly boy. That so-called 'child' isn't yours at all."

"It's not mine..."

Shinsuke Fuyuyama muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the scattered photographs on the ground. The image of Kenichi Nagata embracing Shizuka Horiuchi was particularly jarring.
"Is it...is it that agent's?"

Although Officer Matsumoto knew that Shinsuke Fuyuyama had misunderstood, he still nodded.

The most important thing now is to make him fully realize Horiuchi Shizuka's true colors.

"That's right, Kenichi Nagata was Shizuka Horiuchi's true lover. Even after Horiuchi got married, the two continued to maintain their relationship in secret."

“From beginning to end, you were just a scapegoat that Horiuchi Shizuka found, a tool to cover up her and Nagata Kenichi’s crimes.”

"This isn't real...this isn't real..." Shinsuke Fuyuyama covered his face, suppressed sobs leaking from between his fingers, his shoulders heaving violently.

He always thought he was protecting the woman he loved and their unborn child, never imagining that he was just a fool being manipulated at will.

Officer Matsumoto, seeing his defenses soften, softened his tone: "Fuyuyama-kun, now that things have come to this, are you still going to keep it a secret for her?"

"Horiuchi Shizuka has been using you from beginning to end; she has never loved you. Only by telling the truth can you clear your name and comfort Mr. Horiuchi Shingo's spirit in heaven."

A long silence fell over the interrogation room, broken only by Fuyuyama Shinsuke's suppressed sobs.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes gradually replaced by anger as despair was replaced by resentment.

He took a deep breath, his voice hoarse but firm: "I'll talk... I'll tell you everything..."

……

The atmosphere in the monitoring room next to the interrogation room was completely different.

After seeing Shinsuke Fuyuyama break down and confess, Inspector Samezaki excitedly pumped his fist.
"Success! We've finally broken through his psychological defenses! Now, all we need to do is find evidence based on his confession, and we can bring those two guys, Horiuchi Shizuka and Nagata Kenichi, to justice!"

Lin Xiuyi leaned against the wall, looking at the despairing look on Fuyuyama Shinsuke's face across the glass, and shook his head speechlessly.
"Shinsuke Fuyuyama is really... too easily blinded by emotions. Shizuka Horiuchi's methods are actually not very clever; a little calmer thinking would have revealed the flaws, but he just believed them."

“After all, he lacked love since childhood. If Horiuchi Shizuka was a little nice to him and said a few gentle words, he would think it was true love.”

Eri Kisaki pushed up her glasses, her tone tinged with regret.

"But it's a good thing that he's talking now. The next step is to see if his statement can provide any crucial clues."

Yukiko stood to the side, her face filled with complex emotions.
She hoped the truth could be uncovered as soon as possible to clear the film's name, but she also felt sorry for Shinsuke Fuyuyama's ordeal.
"I never expected Horiuchi Shizuka to be so ruthless, even taking advantage of such an innocent student..."

Just then, Shinsuke Fuyuyama began to recount what happened that night, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the surveillance glass, afraid of missing any detail.

“I did go to the Horiuchi house on the night of the incident,”

Shinsuke Fuyuyama's voice was still hoarse, but it was calmer than before.
“Before that, Shizuka Horiuchi came to me. She cried and told me that Shingo Horiuchi had been abusing her. She wanted to divorce him several times, but he refused and threatened her that if she dared to divorce him, he would ruin her reputation.”

He paused, as if recalling the scene, his eyes filled with pain.
"She also said that she was pregnant with my child, and if Shingo Horiuchi knew about this, he would definitely kill her and the child."

"She was crying so pitifully that I suddenly felt a surge of emotion and knew I had to protect her."

"Then she arranged for me to meet with Kenichi Nagata, saying that he would help us 'solve' Shingo Horiuchi's problem."

Shinsuke Fuyuyama's voice carried a hint of self-deprecation.

"Looking back now, I was so stupid to believe such a thing."

On the night of the incident, Shinsuke Fuyuyama, as arranged by Shizuka Horiuchi, met Kenichi Nagata at a park near the Horiuchi residence around 10 p.m.

Kenichi Nagata gave Shinsuke Fuyuyama a pair of gloves and a mask, telling him to keep quiet and follow instructions once inside. (End of Chapter)
