Although he couldn't remember clearly, this security door shouldn't be too difficult for Xiaolan to use.

"Huh?"

Xiaolan was taken aback at first, then blushed and said weakly, "I'm not very strong either."

Sato Miwako volunteered, "I'll do it, it shouldn't be a problem."

"You're such a busybody!" Shiraishi Osamu glared fiercely at Sato Miwako, especially gesturing towards her stomach with his eyes.

Shimabukuro Kimie glanced at it subconsciously before looking away.

Sato Miwako pursed her lips, but did not refute Shiraishi Osamu at this moment.

Seeing Xiaolan's shy expression, Shiraishi Xiu said softly, "Xiaolan, there might be a bad guy inside. Please help me. I know you're good at karate, not just strong."

"All right

Xiao Lan awkwardly approached the door, assumed a horse stance, took a deep breath, her eyes hardened and sharpened, and threw a punch.

"Drink!"

As the girl's voice faded, a loud "boom" resounded, and a fist-shaped mark appeared on the heavy security door, the entire door twisted and deformed.

"Hiss..." x3

The three grown men gasped, especially Kogoro Mouri, who broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you alright?" Shiraishi Osamu hurried over to Ran's side, took her hand and looked at it, and found that her fist was a little red.

"It's okay." Xiaolan shook her head shyly, feeling her hand being held, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. She felt that it was all worth it.

Ignoring his daughter, Kogoro Mouri went to the gate and pushed it hard, opening the deformed gate.

As soon as it was pushed away.

Shiraishi Osamu's expression changed, and the scent of blood erupted at that moment.

In an instant, he pulled Ran and Kimie Shimabukuro close, pressing their heads firmly into his chest, and whispered:

"Don't look..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

At that moment, Yoko Okino let out a terrifying scream that reached the heavens and echoed throughout the entire building.

Sato Miwako's expression turned serious in an instant. She subconsciously reached for her waist and realized that she hadn't brought her handgun with her when she left home.

"Back off! All of you, back off!"

Kogoro Mouri yelled at everyone and then rolled into the room.

3.9 Twenty minutes later.

The Jiangmu Building was sealed off.

On the 25th floor, police tape was also put up.

In Yoko Okino's room, a young man lay between the living room and the front door, with three stab wounds to his abdomen, blood pooling on the floor.

The murder weapon appeared to be a cooking knife, which was thrown not far from the sofa in the living room. There was also a photograph with a small part burned in the sink in the bathroom.

The woman in the photo is Yoko Okino, and the other is a man, but part of his head has been burned off, so his appearance is completely unrecognizable.

On the back of the photo is a large "five," but it's unclear whether it represents a number or some other meaning.

Inspector Megure and his team searched the room but found no one else.

Chapter 0123: Shiraishi Osamu in the Photograph

Inspector Megure is investigating a case.

Osamu Shiraishi is also investigating the case.

He first thought about his memories of the world of Detective Conan, and immediately felt a strong sense of malice directed at him.

If I remember correctly, the man in front of me didn't die like this.

He stood on a stool, stuck a knife into the ice, and then fell down to commit suicide.

What he found himself in was a wound with three stab wounds to his stomach, the murder weapon lying on the sofa, and no melted ice or air conditioning in the room.

"hateful!"

Shiraishi Osamu rubbed his hair and then observed carefully again. His husband came to the balcony, where the glass door was locked and had not been opened before they came in.

It was pushed open with a "whoosh".

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in from outside, making him shiver involuntarily.

Subconsciously, he activated his ability—farsightedness.

The image quickly became clear, and even though it was nighttime, he could see the distant skyscrapers clearly.

As he slowly scanned the city's night view, he discovered that the only place where he could see the 25th floor of the Jiangmu Building was the building 300 meters away across the street.

He looked at it for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong.

The only thing that seemed a little off was a woman's cigarette that had been stubbed out on the edge of the rooftop of the building across the street.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, since it's normal for people to smoke in places like that.

Osamu Shiraishi didn't know that if he had known Vermouth had been there, smoking with a cold smile, he wouldn't have thought that way.

"build?"

A soft sound came from behind.

Shiraishi Osamu turned around and saw Shimabukuro Kimie and Ran behind him: "Ran, Kimie, it's better not to run around, or we might see another corpse."

The two women shook their heads, said nothing, and looked at him with some expectation.

Shiraishi Osamu shook his head as well: "I haven't found any clues either, I'm still searching. Okay, I'm going to go take a look at that strange photo in the bathroom."

As he spoke, he went into the bathroom, where the photo, which had been partially burned, was still there untouched.

He picked it up and looked at it. His expression wasn't good. Although the person in the photo was headless, he was certain it was his own.

Moreover, the content of the photo seems to be the scene from when he first met Yoko Okino and saved her.

He really didn't expect that someone would be secretly taking pictures from a distance at that time.

When you turn the photo over, you can see a large "five" written on the back in big black ink.

I thought about it.

He took out his phone and snapped a picture of the scene.

After finding no further clues, he turned and went back to the living room, where he saw Inspector Megure questioning everyone.

Inspector Megure asked, "Was the person already dead when you found him?"

Yoko Okino chimed in, "He was already dead when we arrived."

Inspector Megure glanced at the deformed door and couldn't help but smirk. "Seriously, was this door really locked from the inside? And if it was locked from the inside, couldn't it be opened from the outside?"

Yoko Okino nodded: "Yes, once the door is locked from the inside, it can't be opened from the outside. And when I opened the door, it was definitely locked from the inside. Oh, and I didn't take the wrong key."

.

Shiraishi Xiu continued, "I can also testify to this. I tried to open the door at the time, but it definitely wouldn't open."

Inspector Megure walked to the front door on his own, turned the key, and found that it wouldn't open. He then pulled the deadbolt back onto the door, turned the key again, and found that the lock could be moved, thus confirming Yoko Okino's words.

He frowned and said, "So, this case is a locked-room murder."

Kogoro Mouri interjected, "The only person I can think of who could pull off this kind of murder is Kaito Kid, who can fly."

Shiraishi said, "It shouldn't be Kaito Kid. The balcony door is locked from the inside. If someone opens the door and goes out, there's no way to lock it again."

“Inspector Megure.” Miwako Sato walked over and handed her the photo in the bathroom, which had been partially burned. “This is the strange photo from the bathroom.”

Inspector Megure took the photo and looked at it, then asked Yoko Okino, "Ms. Yoko, what impression do you have of this photo? What does the 'five' in the back represent?"

Yoko Okino looked at the photo, then at Osamu Shiraishi, and shook her head, saying, "This photo isn't mine, and I don't know what the number on the back means."

"oh?……"

Inspector Megure drawled out his words, analyzing, "So this photo was brought here by the deceased, or rather, by the murderer. Since you, Ms. Yoko, are in the photo, who is the other man?"

Yoko Okino opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She looked at Osamu Shiraishi, then silently lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers.

The surroundings were quiet.

Ran, Miwako Sato, and Kimie Shimabukuro also glanced at Osamu Shiraishi, seemingly casually.

The police officers conducting the inspection were all quite quiet, discreetly observing the area.

"It's you!"

Kogoro Mouri broke the silence with a loud shout, staring at Osamu Shiraishi with his eyes wide open and his teeth clenched in fury.

Today was the first time he had met Yoko Okino, but he never expected that this brat on the other side would beat him to it.

No wonder Yoko Okino insisted on bringing Osamu Shiraishi with her when she came to make a request; it turns out there's a connection between the two of them.

His thoughts raced at that moment, and he continued to roar:

"I understand now. This deceased person must have been a paparazzi. Because he had photographed Ms. Yoko and Officer Shiraishi together, he came to threaten her. But he didn't expect to die here."

"Hmm, that makes some sense."

Inspector Megure nodded. Thinking about it that way, it was perfectly normal that Yoko Okino didn't know about this photo.

"I understand now."

Kogoro Mouri roared again, saying excitedly:

"This photo has a corner burned, but it's not completely burned. The culprit must have been in such a hurry that they didn't notice the fire had gone out. And if this photo is exposed, it will affect Ms. Yoko's career. So the culprit can only be her manager, Mr. Yamagishi! Because you are the one who least wants Ms. Yoko's career to be affected!"

As those resounding words fell, everyone turned their attention to the manager, Yamagishi Ei, whose expression had drastically changed.

Chapter 0124: Who is plotting against me?

Yamagishi Sakae's expression changed drastically.

No, it should be said that the face is dark or bluish.

Seeing the suspicious looks from so many people around him, he felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly explained:
