Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1023 The Witch's Premonition

"Boom boom boom——"

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a rapid knocking on the door, and the person knocking seemed very anxious, as if Yahara Akira was chasing after him.

Xia Chuan walked to the door and opened it.

"Ms. Izumi Maho?"

"Mr. Hachigawa, something terrible has happened!!!"

Izumi Maho eagerly shoved the envelope in her hand into Natsukawa's face.

"Come in first."

After inviting the person into the room, Xia Chuan opened the envelope.

【I have returned from hell, and I will use your blood and bodies to complete my séance. — Ya Yuanhuang】

The envelope contained simple information, but the words were written in human blood, which, combined with the previous séance, easily frightened people.

"Mr. Hachikawa, has Yahara Akira really returned? Has what happened to us a year ago been exposed?"

As if saying those words had drained all of Izumi Maho's strength, she collapsed to the ground, sobbing.

Damn it, what exactly happened a year ago?

Xia Chuan grinned, his face still heavy, and walked up to the other person: "Tell me in detail what happened a year ago. I didn't receive this letter, so perhaps our experiences were different."

Tell me, and I'll try to deduce who it is.

Ya Yuanhuang couldn't possibly be resurrected; someone must be using his death as a pretext to do something.

Izumi Maho raised her eyelids in confusion, but when she saw Natsukawa's determined gaze, she immediately felt a little safer.

"Editor Nanze is dead. I don't want to end up like him."

Next, Izumi Maho recounted what happened a year ago from her own perspective.

It turns out that a year ago, after the filming of the tokusatsu drama "The Witch" ended, Hirasaka Reiki suggested holding a party to say goodbye to the filming.

Finally, this remote and desolate area was chosen.

Those invited included fans of the witch, staff, investors, and actors.

In the later stages of the gathering, most of the guests left, leaving only six people: Hirasaka Reiki, Park no Ki Kazuo, Izumi Maho, Minami Sawa Ichiro, Tomoe Kōji, and Masahara Akira.

In fact, this gathering was not only a celebration party after the series ended, but also the occasion chosen by Hirasaka Reiki to confess his feelings.

When only these people remained, Hirasaka Reiki began to express his feelings to Masahara Akira.

In fact, he had long been in love with the witch played by the other party and wanted to become Ya Yuanhuang's boyfriend.

However, Yahara Akira refused very decisively.

Hirasaka Reiki couldn't accept it for a moment. The other party was clearly the most suitable actress to play the witch, almost equivalent to the witch, and he was the author of the witch. The two of them were undoubtedly the most suitable couple.

However, Yahara Akira refused very firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

After that, the two had an argument, and Hirasaka Reiki forced Yahara Akira to agree that if he didn't, Yahara Akira wouldn't be cast in the second and third seasons of the Witch series.

The other four were people Hirasaka Reiki who stayed behind specifically to hear about the confession. They were cheering from the sidelines, hoping that Yahara Akira would say yes.

However, no matter how much others tried to persuade him, and even when threatened with the sequel to the Witch series, Yahara Akira remained unmoved.

Rejected in front of so many people, Hirasaka Reiki couldn't accept it and decided to force himself on her.

During this time, everyone else watched indifferently.

In despair, Yahara Akira struggled violently, but was eventually pushed down by Hirasaka Reiki, his head hitting the ground hard and killing him instantly.

Yahara Akira's death was so sudden that no one had time to react. By the time they realized what was happening, they had already become accomplices of Hirasaka Reiki and buried him in the meditation room.

They then drove Ya Yuanhuang's car into the river, faking a driving error and falling into the water, thus evading the police investigation.

Xia Chuan remained silent for a long time before saying, "Our experiences are exactly the same, so logically, I should also have a copy of this letter."

"Could it be that it's just not time yet?" Hearing Natsukawa's mutterings, Izumi Maho became even more frightened and clung tightly to his trouser leg.

After all, Natsukawa had performed exceptionally well in the meditation room, and since they had both participated in the same event, Izumi Maho trusted him completely.

However, Izumi Maho never considered that Hachikawa was not like this a year ago. Back then, he was even more afraid than she was, and he even shed tears of fear when burying Yahara Akira.

But things are different now. Fear has taken hold of Izumi Maho's mind, and Hachigawa is her only savior.

"Let's go see how the others are doing."

"Okay."

Hirasaka Reiki's villa is very large, and the rooms for the several people are far apart. In fact, Hirasaka Reiki and Park no Ki Kazuo's room is on the second floor.

"Mr. Hirasaka, are you there?"

Natsukawa stood in front of Hirasaka Reiki's room and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from inside the room.

I turned the doorknob; the door was already locked from the inside.

Suddenly, Xia Chuan seemed to smell something.

"Did you smell it?"

"what?"

The taste of red wine

Hearing what Natsukawa said, Izumi Maho twitched her nose and felt around.

"It seems there is."

Then, to Izumi Maho's astonishment, Natsukawa jumped up, stepped on the doorknob, and pushed open the skylight in the ceiling of the room.

This is a centrally located ventilator that allows for ventilation both vertically and horizontally when opened. The space is very narrow, only about ten centimeters wide.

However, it is sufficient for observing the interior.

With that one glance, Natsukawa immediately spotted Hirasaka Reiki.

Hirasaka Reiki stared wide-eyed, his hands gripping his own neck, lying awkwardly on the sofa.

On the table in front of the sofa, there was a bottle of red wine that had been spilled.

The dark red liquid dripped down, its blood-like color sending chills down one's spine. The smell of the wine just now clearly belonged to this.

"Yagawa, is Mr. Hirasaka here?"

To be honest, Izumi Maho is still very afraid of the other party, otherwise she wouldn't have been threatened into becoming an accomplice last year.

For the past year, she has had nightmares almost every day.

You should know that she used to be a loyal fan of Ya Yuanhuang, but when her idol died, she was actually an accomplice.

"Hirasaka Reiki is dead."

Xia Chuan jumped down, spoke expressionlessly, and then kicked the door in front of him.

The door was flung open with a bang.

The sound clearly attracted the attention of others, and soon Ryuichi Mifune and Akiko Utagura came out.

"What happened?"

They saw a terrified Izumi Maho at the door, and following her gaze into the room, they saw the corpse lying on the sofa, and their scalps tingled.

Reiki Hirasaka's death was very unusual; he was choking himself, as if he had strangled himself to death. But as any normal person knows, a human cannot strangle themselves, because once suffocated, the hands lose their strength.

"Mr. Yagawa, how did Mr. Hirasaka die?" Ryuichi Mifune asked in surprise.

Xia Chuan glanced back at him: "The red wine was laced with cyanide; he was poisoned."
