Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

"Miss Ikeba, this..."

Based on Kogoro Mouri's experience, this is very likely a death message left by the deceased, but he finds it hard to accept that such a beautiful woman as Shizuka Ikenami could be the murderer.

"I don't know what happened either." Ikeba Shizuka shook her head silently.

"Let's wait for the police to arrive."

Kitagawa Taki said, then stuffed the photo back in.

……

About ten minutes later, the police finally arrived at the scene.

The person who came was Sango Yokomizo, the coral-headed police officer whom Kitagawa Taki had met once before.

When Yokomizo Sango met his idol, he greeted Kogoro Mouri warmly before nodding to Ran and Taki Kitagawa.

Kogoro Mouri briefly explained the specific situation.

“I understand the situation. Who is that over there?” Yokomizo Sango looked at the woman by the wall.

Yoshikawa Takezo quickly introduced, "That's Shibata's wife, Shibata Kyoko."

"Go and comfort Mrs. Shibata."

Yokomizo Sango gave instructions to the two police officers beside him.

This state makes it inconvenient for him to ask questions later.

Then he began to examine the body.

The first thing to notice is the photograph in Shibata Shiro's hand.

Seeing Yokomizo Sango pick up the photo, Mouri Kogoro leaned closer and said, "The girl in the photo is this Ms. Ikenami."

"Isn't this the death message left by Shibata?"

Yokomizo Sango turned to look at Ikehata Shizuka.

"Could the murderer be...?"

Although the words were not finished, the meaning was clear.

Kogoro Mori quickly said, "Hey, Inspector Yokomizo, isn't it too early to draw conclusions? If Ms. Ikenami is the murderer, why did you come to ask us to return to the crime scene?"

After her initial surprise, Ikeba Shizuka is now quite calm, as if she herself is not the one being accused of the crime.

Chapter 271 You actually figured it out a long time ago, didn't you?

"Officer Yokomizo, I found a small amount of blood in the corridor!" A forensic officer came trotting over.

Everyone went to the corridor outside the room.

There was a faint bloodstain at the joint of the wooden floor.

Maori Kogoro said: "It seems that this is the real crime scene."

"Mr. Shibata was probably killed here. He then crawled to his bedroom to try and call for help, but his body couldn't hold on any longer, and he could only leave a message before he died!"

After analyzing the situation, Yokomizo Chanwu said decisively, "So, the murderer is you! Miss Ikenami!"

Kitagawa Taki almost laughed. Yokomizo Sango was indeed a die-hard fan of Kogoro Mouri. In terms of eliminating people, the two of them could sit at the same table.

Maori Kogoro chose to stand on the side of Ikenami Shizuka because Yan Zhi was right. "Killing someone because of a photo, this is a bit..."

"There must be an unknown secret behind that photo!" Yokogami Chanwu seemed to see through everything.

Yokomizo Sango looked at Ikenami Shizuka and said seriously, "Alright, Miss Ikenami, please come with us to the station!"

"I refuse!" Ikeba Shizuka said calmly.

"If you want me to go to the police station for questioning, then please apply for an arrest warrant first. However, given the current situation, it is probably just wishful thinking to expect to get an arrest warrant."

These words left Yokogouch Chanwu speechless. It was the first time he had encountered such a difficult suspect.

When Xiaolan saw how Ikenami Shizuka responded calmly and argued her case, she felt as if she was seeing Kisaki Eri, and admiration appeared on her face.

Kitagawa Taki glanced at the discomfitured Yokomizo Sango, shook his head, and said, "Why did you provoke her in the first place?"

Then, he went back into the bedroom and knelt down to examine Shibata Shiro's hands.

His left hand was covered in blood, probably from touching the wound on his head, but strangely, there was no blood on the bandages wrapped around his ring and little fingers.

There is also a circular mark on the palm of his right hand.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Taki's mouth curled up slightly. This was what he was looking for.

"Everyone, please come in first!" Kitagawa Taki asked everyone outside to come into the room.

Maori Kogoro asked curiously, "Brother Kitagawa, what's wrong?"

"The murderer has surfaced." Kitagawa Taki looked at Yokomizo Chanwu and said, "Officer Yokomizo, have your men invite Mrs. Shibata in!"

Ikenami Shizuka narrowed her eyes slightly. Just as Hattori Heiji had said, this Kitagawa Takima was indeed that powerful.

They've been here for less than half an hour, and they didn't even have two clues. How did they solve it so easily?

Yokomizo Sango nodded blankly and had the police officers bring Shibata Kyoko in.

Kyoko Shibata looked much better and had regained her composure.

Kogoro Mouri pressed on, "Who is the culprit?"

"The murderer is right here." Kitagawa Taki looked at Shibata Kyoko and said, "Mrs. Shibata, please take out that bloody wedding ring!"

Wedding ring?

Shizuka Ikenami touched the bandage on her left ring finger, then looked at Shibata Shiro's left hand on the ground. She seemed to understand.

Kyoko Shibata's mood was quite different. When Kitagawa Taki suddenly asked about the wedding ring, she couldn't hide the panic on her face and could only pretend to be clueless, saying:

"What wedding ring? My wedding ring is on my finger!"

Kitagawa Taki shook his head. "I'm talking about Mr. Shibata's wedding ring. Hand it over! You've already missed your chance."

Only then did Kogoro Mori and Sango Yokomizo go to check Shibata Shiro's hand.

Seeing that the truth could no longer be concealed, Shibata Kyoko gave a bitter smile, silently took out a blood-stained ring from her pocket, and let it fall to the ground.

"People really shouldn't do anything bad."

Kitagawa Taki wanted to say, "It's just that your methods aren't clever enough. How can you carry evidence on your person?"

Kogoro Mouri picked up the ring with a handkerchief and said, "So, this is the death message left by Mr. Shibata. After his wife found it, she replaced it with a photo of Ms. Ikenami."

Yokomizo Sango looked at Kitagawa Taki with a different look. It was not until then that he realized that Kitagawa Taki was a hidden talent.

Shibata Kyoko lowered her head and muttered to herself, "Why? Why won't what Shiro and Mr. Yoshikawa did be exposed?"

Yoshikawa Takezo's face changed when he was suddenly mentioned.

Yokomizo Sango looked at Yoshikawa Takezo suspiciously.

"They played mahjong together every day and lost my computer, jewelry, and car. In the end, they even threatened to sell the famous sword my father gave him when we got married!"

There was no regret in Kyoko Shibata's eyes, only resentment.

Henggou Chanwu said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it at the bureau."

Kyoko Shibata did not resist. "Okay, I'll go change my clothes and then I'll go with you."

Yokomizo Sango did not stop her, and watched as Shibata Kyoko entered the next room.

Ikeba Shizuka quickly followed him inside.

Kyoko Shibata was drawing her sword in the room. When she saw someone breaking in, she threw away the scabbard and pointed the sword at Shizuka Ikenami with both hands.

"Don't come over!" Kyoko Shibata waved the sword randomly a few times, then put the sword to her neck.

"Mrs. Shibata, calm down!" Yokomizo Sango, who had followed, quickly dissuaded her.

Ikeba Shizuka walked towards her step by step.

"What are you going to do? Don't come over here!" Kyoko Shibata put down the knife and pointed it at Shizuka Ikenami again.

Ikenami Shizuka took out a folding fan from the belt of her kimono and made a standard kendo starting move.

Kyoko Shibata panicked and swung the knife again.

Seizing the opportunity, Ikenami Shizuka used her fan to catch the blade, and then with a "snap," the fan struck Shibata Kyoko's hand, causing the katana to fall to the ground, thus staging a scene of disarming a sword with a fan.

"After killing your husband, do you want to kill another person? Your own life is also a human life!"

As she spoke, she picked up the knife and scabbard on the ground, sheathed the knife, and handed it to the stunned Yokogouch Chanwu.

Yokomizo Sango then realized what was happening and led his men forward to restrain Shibata Kyoko.

When Ikenami Shizuka passed by Kitagawa Taki, she stopped and said, "Mr. Kitagawa, you really live up to your reputation!"

In her opinion, Kitagawa Taki's case-solving speed was indeed astounding, very simple and brutal, completely different from that of a detective.

"Not at all, not at all," Kitagawa Taki praised, "Miss Ikenami's swordsmanship just now was truly impressive."

"Actually, you've already seen it, right?" Ikebana Jinghua chuckled and raised her left hand.

Chapter 272 Do you have eagle eyes or something?

Kitagawa Taki neither confirmed nor denied the question regarding Ikenami Shizuka.

Hearing their conversation, Xiaolan asked curiously, "What did you figure out?"

Just then, a familiar voice came from the front door.

"Hey, ma'am, shouldn't you go home now?"

Hattori Heiji was seen leaning against the door, arms crossed, looking utterly helpless.

Yuanshan and Ye were waving to the group from afar.

Just as Shizuka Ikenami was about to speak, she saw Kogoro Mori storm forward, grab Heiji Hattori by the collar, and say unhappily, "Hattori brat, you call Miss Ikenami 'Auntie'? That's incredibly rude of you!"

Heiji Hattori pouted, pulled Kogoro Mouri's hand away, and said, "She's my mother, I can call her whatever I want!"

Kogoro Mouri and Ran looked at Shizuka Ikenami with questioning eyes, finding it hard to believe.
