Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 1025 Clarifying the Ideas
Sensing such obvious killing intent, Xia Chuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he glanced at Mifune Ryuichi.

Ryuichi Mifune immediately suppressed his murderous intent, revealing a harmless look of fear, as if he too was quite frightened by the rumors of the witch.

"Actually, I don't think it's a witch's revenge. The murderer is probably nearby, perhaps hiding in some corner of the villa, eavesdropping on our conversation."

As he spoke, Xia Chuan reached under the living room table and pulled out a bugging device.

"I nervously touched the bottom edge of the table just now, and that's when I found this."

"Is this a bugging device?" Ryuichi Mifune's heart began to race. This was the bugging device he had installed himself!

But now, it seems that Hachikawa believes there are other people in the villa.

Following this line of thought, he calmly said, "The fact that there are listening devices here suggests that someone might really be hiding inside the villa."

"Who are you? Show yourself right now!"

Ryuichi Mifune grabbed the bugging device and yelled twice at it.

After a dozen seconds, there was no unusual noise inside the villa, only Izumi Maho's crying continued.

"Everyone, just stay in the living room tonight. I was supposed to review a film tomorrow, and since I'm coming here, I asked my staff to bring it over. You can leave with his car."

Given that Hachikawa was an assistant director a year ago, it's not hard to understand why he can now review films on his own.

In reality, it will be Frank and his group who come, and the claim that he will leave with the remaining three people is not wrong.

Knock them out first, and then send them all to the Metropolitan Police Department via courier after the operation is over.

Upon hearing this, Izumi Maho quieted down a bit.

Ryuichi Mifune frowned.

If everyone is staying in the villa's lobby, how am I supposed to get anything done?

However, a suitable excuse could not be found at the moment.

"That's settled then. I'll go to the kitchen and get some food and water. I'll eat something to regain my strength, and even if there are people, we won't be unable to fight them."

“Mr. Mifune, I’ll go with you. At least we can look out for each other.” Akiko Utagura followed him out.

Suddenly, only Natsukawa and Izumi Maho remained in the living room.

"Mr. Hachikawa, are there really other people in the villa? If we stay in the living room, what if he sets fire to us all?"

Sister, can you please stop offering suggestions to others?
Xia Chuan glanced at her speechlessly, then said indifferently, "What's there to be afraid of when four people are together? But considering that Ke'er Feng also died, the murderer should be in the fan club. Think about it, are there any of Ya Yuanhuang's die-hard fans who haven't come yet?"

Izumi Maho actually thought about it seriously.

But she quickly shook her head.

"The fan club has about 140 members, but since Xiaohuang died, many members have left to join other secret clubs. The rest are here."

This statement helps to rule out the possibility that Ke'erfeng's death was caused by an outsider.

But it shouldn't be Ryuichi Mifune.

Akiko Utagura doesn't seem like it either; it couldn't have been suicide, could it?
suicide?

The idea suddenly appeared in Xia Chuan's mind and then lingered there.

If I remember correctly, Hirasaka Reiki seemed to have mocked Kana Yutaka, saying that if he wanted Yagura Akira to be resurrected, he could sacrifice his own life and then recite the incantation backwards.
Upon closer reflection, the candles in Ke'erfeng's room seem to have a similar function to those in the meditation room.

If the room were a bit bigger, the candles would look exactly the same when laid out.

I am Cao!

Xia Chuan suddenly realized that Ke'er Feng had most likely committed suicide!

This makes sense. Ryuichi Mifune only killed editor Minamisawa, Reiki Hirasaka, and Kazuyuki Park. Yutaka Kani's death was entirely due to him believing Reiki Hirasaka's story.

That's some serious talent.

"Hey, why haven't they come back yet?" Izumi Maho was practically pressed against Natsukawa.

Xia Chuan felt a deep-seated disgust for someone who was not only plain-looking but also had a bad heart.

He impatiently pushed her away: "Ms. Izumi, please keep your distance. We're not that familiar yet."

Izumi Maho gritted her teeth, said nothing, and curled up in the corner of the sofa.

Snapped--

Suddenly, all the lights in the living room went out.

Moreover, from the outside, the entire villa appears to lose light at the same time.

"Ah~"

The voice came from Izumi Maho. The woman was probably terrified, as she fell silent two seconds after her initial exclamation.

By the time Xia Chuan looked over, the person had already fainted.

—I was so scared I fainted.

Xia Chuan couldn't help but chuckle, but ignored her.

At that moment, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor came from the corridor outside the hall.

Interesting, are you trying to scare me to death?

Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

Inside the kitchen, Akiko Utagura silently watched Ryuichi Mifune's retreating figure.

After a long while, she suddenly asked, "You've done enough for Xiaohuang, don't kill anymore."

She saw it; Ryuichi Mifune took a capsule out of his pocket and poured it into plain water.

Without even thinking, she knew it wouldn't be anything good.

"Jingzi, don't you want to avenge Xiaohuang? She was such a kind person, and these beasts buried her in the meditation room."

I heard that the meditation room was Hirasaka Reiki's favorite studio. Not only was she killed, but her enemies also trampled over her every day.

And those accomplices, they could have chosen to call the police, but out of fear and self-interest, they became Reiki Hirasaka's helpers.

Mifune Ryu turned around expressionlessly: "Look at that guy, Hachikawa. An assistant director can actually review films himself. You can imagine how much help Hirasaka Reiki has given him."

Everything he has now is because of Xiao Huang's death.

It's time to make everyone pay the price for Xiao Huang's death.

They've been living a life of ease for too long.

Akiko Utagura gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her beautiful face. "Don't you know? I like you too. You should have noticed this over the past year, right?"

Can't you stop for my sake?
Wouldn't it be better if we stayed together, continued running that photography shop, and lived a peaceful and stable life?

Her voice was choked with sobs and filled with grievance.

She knew about the relationship between Mifune Ryuichi and Yabara Akira, and thought that after Akira's death, she would have a place in the world. However, she did not expect that Mifune Ryuichi would be completely unresponsive.

Today, she finally couldn't hold back anymore and exploded.

In the blink of an eye, Mifune Ryuichi appeared in front of her, grabbing Utagura Akiko by the neck, a cold yet eerie smile on his face: "I knew it, you never truly considered Koga a friend. Otherwise, you should have done what I did and avenged her."

"You guy."

Ryuichi Mifune's smile gradually turned ferocious, and the veins on his forehead throbbed like earthworms.
