Until Okino Yoko cried out, as if she had lost something important. Realizing her own mistake, she hurriedly explained:
"Everyone, please take your time eating. I lost my food. I'll go look for it. Excuse me for a moment." It turned out that the ring she wore as a necklace around her neck was missing. Just when she was thinking that it was time to put it on her hand, she suddenly realized that the ring was gone and there was only a bare chain.
She let out a scream, which showed how much she valued the ring. She got up and ran back to the room quickly. She remembered that the ring was still around her neck when she returned to the room. It was very likely that it fell off when she was taking a shower. After all, the battle was very intense at that time, so it might have been shaken off at that time.
Yoko Okino searched the room like crazy, but couldn't find it. She then ran to the bathroom, kneeling on the floor to look for it without caring about her image. The bathroom was actually not very big, so she finished searching quickly, but still couldn't find it.
Yoko Okino knelt on the ground in despair, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She looked like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her.
Just when she was most helpless, someone hugged her from behind. The embrace was warm and strong, and she felt very safe. She could naturally feel who it was.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
"Azhen~", sobbing with a hint of grievance.
Murong Zhen stretched out his hand in front of her, slowly opened it, and said softly: "If you lose it again next time, I won't help you find it!"
After regaining what she had lost, Okino Yoko cried for joy again. After she made up her mind, she silently stretched out her left hand towards Murong Zhen and slightly spread her fingers.
Murong Zhen naturally knew what she meant, and put the ring on her left ring finger, followed by a kiss.
"Ah Zhen, can we not get married yet? I still want to make a career in the entertainment industry, and Sister Yukiko is my goal. But I promise you, if we have a child, I will quit the entertainment industry, okay?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was picked up horizontally.
"Have a baby!"
"Hehe, that may disappoint you. These few days are my safe period."
"Never mind!" He gently put Okino Yoko on the bed.
"Ah Zhen, but there are so many people waiting, can we come later?"
"When I came here, they had basically dispersed. Ms. Taeko said she was going back to the shrine to get something, and Mr. Shimazaki said he was going to the convenience store to buy something. The rest of the crew also left, leaving only the director and Mr. Maori still drinking. So, now is the perfect time!"
"Ah Zhen, I...ah!...I promised...Xiao Lan...ah!...that I would go to the convenience store in the evening...ah!"
"I'm sorry, it's too late. I'm already inside!"
"Humph! Do you still need to tell me that I don't know...? Ah!"
Chapter 217 Unlucky Handsome Guy
In order to fulfill her promise to go to the convenience store with her best sister, Yoko Okino tried her best, fully demonstrating her flexibility and her two outstanding advantages!
At 9:55, he changed into casual clothes and went to the convenience store with Murong Zhen, Xiaolan and Conan to buy things.
When the four of them went out together, they also met the photographer Anzai Morio at the stairs. As for why they could recognize him from a distance, besides the fact that they were wearing the same clothes, his watch started chiming at 10:00. That unique sound was naturally impressive.
As luck would have it, when the four of them walked downstairs, they met Miss Taeko who had just returned from the shrine. She was terrified at the moment, and only realized it when Xiaolan and the others greeted her. Although she said she was fine, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was not fine at all. Others might not have noticed, but Murong Zhen discovered that she had changed her clothes and taken a shower, and then washed again! Did she do the same thing as him and Okino Yoko?
But she didn't say anything, so Xiaolan and the others didn't ask any more questions. After all, everyone has their own privacy. The four of them left and continued to walk towards the convenience store.
For some reason, when Murong Zhen saw Xiaolan again, he found that Xiaolan seemed to be worried and unhappy, and kept responding passively to Okino Yoko's chat.
Just as they passed by the Stone Lion Square of the shrine, a small stone that rolled down from the steps caught everyone's attention. The four of them followed the sound and looked up the steps. Under the dim light, they could only see a black shadow and could not see the person's full appearance. Of course, these are the three people except Murong Zhen. Murong Zhen, who has night vision, naturally saw who the person was, but was also a little confused. Doesn't that guy not live here?
When the black shadow saw someone coming, it quickly ran away in another direction. Conan ran up the stairs alertly, and saw a body on the platform. After confirming that the person was dead, everyone called the police. Relevant personnel also came one after another after hearing the news.
I don't know why, but the police came very quickly this time, and there were more police than before. Is this just an ordinary murder case?
After arriving at the scene, Inspector Megure began investigating the crime scene. Unlike in the past, this time Inspector Megure brought with him the policewoman Miwako Sato, whom he had met several times before.
Moreover, when Officer Megure and Officer Sato saw Murong Zhen, they both paid some attention to him unconsciously. This also aroused Murong Zhen's vigilance. It seemed that there were some capable people in the Metropolitan Police Department, and he must have entered the police's field of vision for some reason.
Soon, Inspector Megure summarized the case information and said:
"The deceased was named Anzai Morio, 30 years old, a photographer for the filming crew of the film "The Terrorizers Who Laugh at the Darkness". The cause of death was a knife stabbing his heart, and there were no other external injuries. The knife, the murder weapon, was left at the crime scene, but no fingerprints were extracted. Based on the degree of rigidity of the body, the estimated time of death was between 9pm and 11pm.
The deceased's money is all there, so the possibility of robbery and murder is ruled out. The deceased also left a death message of "stone lion". I heard that your crew was filming here during the day, so I am now focusing on the cast and crew of the crew. "
"Now, please tell me what you have been doing during this time."
"Let me start by saying that I was drinking with director Gondoh Taketoshi. We drank from beginning to end and never left except to go to the bathroom. We only came here when someone said that a murder had occurred," Kogoro Mouri said first.
"Brother Maori, why are you always there wherever there is a murder? No, it should be said that wherever you appear, there is a murder." Inspector Megure said speechlessly.
"Don't say that, Inspector Megure!" Kogoro Mouri was also a little embarrassed, because there was nothing wrong with what Inspector Megure said, although he knew that he was mostly joking.
"I left around 9 o'clock and went back to the room to look for something. Then around 10 o'clock, I asked Xiaolan to go to a nearby convenience store to buy things. We were the first to discover the crime scene. Also, when we went downstairs, we saw the deceased was on the floor before us. He was not dead at that time, so his time of death should be after 10 o'clock. Before we found him, it was between 10 and 11 o'clock," said Yoko Okino
Yoko Okino's words were also responded to by Conan, Ran and others, thus confirming Yoko Okino's alibi.
"I left the party a few minutes after Miss Yoko left. I went to the house in the shrine to get something. Let me tell you, my house is inside the shrine, and the presider here is my grandfather. When I came back, I saw Xiaolan and her group coming downstairs, and I also saw Mr. Anzai leaving." said Taeko.
"I also left shortly after Taeko left. I was planning to buy some things and brought back cigarettes for the director. Then I stayed in the room until I heard something happened here, so I came here," said Yuji Shimazaki.
At the same time, his statement about buying cigarettes was also confirmed by the director.
"I just rushed here from the Teitan Hotel because I heard that a murder happened here. So I don't have the time or motive to kill. How could a handsome guy like me have the intention to kill this middle-aged greasy man?" said Nachi Shingo.
At this point, the statements of the crew members have been recorded. It seems that they all have alibis and no obvious motive for murder. The situation seems to be at a stalemate here.
At this time, Conan, who had secretly investigated the crime scene, stood up and said, "No, I saw the deceased uncle in the woods today holding some photos and threatening the handsome uncle."
At this time, the police officer who searched the deceased's residence also came back and reported: "Officer Megure, in the deceased's hotel room, some photos and negatives were found, on which there were Mr. Nachi and a woman."
The police did not recognize the woman in the photo, but Okino Yoko, who was also in the entertainment industry, recognized her and said, "The lady in the photo is a former famous actress, Nagakura Yumi. It is said that she married someone in the industry and became a housewife."
Conan said again: "Arelei! Look, the words of this death message should be written together, but they are separated here."
Conan's Arelei attracted everyone's attention. After a closer look, it was just as Conan said. Inspector Megure asked: "What does this mean?"
"Just like the matchstick fish question that handsome uncle asked today, you can remove these redundant parts, and then it becomes..."
"Handsome... handsome guy!", Officer Megure said, "Who is the handsome guy?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Nachi Shingo!
Shingo Nachi never thought that he, who always called himself a handsome guy, would one day be identified as a murderer just because of the word "handsome guy"!
[The plot is adapted from: 022 TV series location team murder case]
Chapter 218 The murderer confesses
"Mr. Nachi, do you have anything else to say? Tell the truth!" said Inspector Megure seriously.
At this point, Nachi Shingo had no choice but to tell the whole story:
"I really didn't kill him. I was wrongly accused. The deceased did threaten me. We agreed to come here at 10:30 pm to trade. I used money to buy out the photos and negatives he took. But when I got here, he was already dead. I also saw the death message on the ground that said 'handsome guy'. So I suddenly had an idea and added a few strokes to change the death message to 'stone lion'. As soon as I finished the change, Yoko and the others appeared, and I quickly ran away.
Also, although I am not a millionaire, I still have some money. I would not kill anyone for a little money. I am now a star, and I have signed a contract with the newly established company Butian Entertainment. The company is developing rapidly, and I will also soar with it, so there is no need for me to ruin my life for this little thing.
As for me and Nagakura Yumi, we just met and are still testing each other. I can only say that we have some affection for each other, but we haven't had any close contact. Her fate is also quite tragic. I don't want the photos to be exposed and affect her life, so I spent money to buy the photos. I also know that my reputation is not very good. Some people say that I take advantage of my handsome appearance to play with women. In fact, I don't. Everyone is willing, and I don't disdain to use despicable means. Everyone is willing, and we parted ways amicably. I don't think I did anything wrong. "
Nachi Shingo was really pushed into a corner and said so many words in one breath. In fact, it was mainly because he saw the development potential of the new company. At the same time, the company's requirements for the character of artists are also very strict. The character of those who sign the contract must be up to standard, followed by personal ability.
Murong Zhen didn't hear him lying when he spoke, and he stated all the facts. His logic was reasonable, which was why he didn't say it when he saw that person in the dark. If he was the murderer, there was no need for him to stay at the crime scene for so long.
Conan also thought so. So who was the murderer? After investigating the scene again, he found that the arm of the deceased where the watch was worn was covered in blood, and there was blood on the back of his hand, but there was no blood on the watch. This meant that the watch had been taken off and wiped. Similarly, the vest and hat worn by the murderer were also thrown near the body, not worn on the deceased. Coincidentally, these three things were evidence of the deceased's external characteristics.
Then the person they saw in the corridor before leaving for the convenience store was someone else pretending to be someone else, and the person who had the opportunity to pretend to be someone else was someone who had gone out and came back. When you think of the identity of the person who had not gone out and the reason for doing so, it is self-evident. And then think of the death message of the "handsome guy", if you remove a few more strokes, it is the murderer's last name, so the murderer is definitely her.
Conan already knew the outcome of the case, and now he needed to find a tool to solve the case. He even turned on his watch and pointed it at Mouri Kogoro, but was stopped by Murong Zhen's voice.
"The murderer is definitely not this Nachi Shingo, but someone else!"
"Oh? Brother Murong, then tell me who the murderer is?"
"The case was actually very simple. The difficult part was that the murderer's death information was processed by two people! The second person to process it was Nachi Shingo, and the first person to process it was you, Shimazaki Yuji!" Murong Zhen pointed at Shimazaki Yuji and said without question.
"How is that possible? It can't be Yuji's," Taeko stood up and defended Shimazaki Yuji.
"That's right, I am the murderer. He spoke rudely to Taeko, so I wanted to kill him. I plead guilty!" Shimazaki Yuji stood up and said, but his motive for murder was indeed a bit far-fetched.
"Yuji, you don't have to be like this. Everyone has their own share of responsibility. Actually, I am the murderer! I killed him!"
"It's me!" x2
It seems that the murderer is a good thing, and the two of them are fighting for it. At the same time, this incident also shows the deep feelings between the two.
"Okay! Stop arguing! It's not about who is the murderer. We police officers rely on evidence when investigating cases. Listen to Brother Murong first," Officer Megure stood up and scolded.
At this time, Murong Zhen continued, "If you remove a few more strokes from 'handsome guy', you will get 'douyuan', so the murderer is you, Miss Douyuan Taeko. And the second person I mentioned who processed the death message was Shimazaki Yuji. After he knew the real murderer, he thought of a way to protect the murderer.
First, he modified the death message to Shingo Nachi, then put on the deceased's clothes, hat, and watch, and deliberately made noises to appear in front of us, making us think that Mr. Anzai was not dead at that time, thus creating an alibi.
And Miss Taeko, you changed your clothes after the party. Although you took a shower, I can still smell the blood on your body. I guess you haven't had time to deal with the clothes covered with the blood of the deceased. "
"Mr. Murong is right. I killed him. I was just trying to threaten him with the knife, telling him not to blackmail me again and disturb my and Yuji's peaceful life. But he suddenly rushed over and tried to bully me, but unfortunately he hit the knife. I was so scared that I dropped the knife and went back to my house in the shrine to take a shower. I also changed my clothes.
I'm sorry, Yuji, I actually have a past that I don't want to look back on. My parents were in a traffic accident when I was young, and I was raised by my grandfather. In high school, because of lack of discipline, I was in a rebellious period of adolescence, didn't study well, and always played with some bad kids in society, and played more freely, including Anzai Morio. "
"It's okay, Taeko, I like you now, I don't care about your past!"
"But he threatened me not only about this, but also about what happened at the shrine at that time. There were relics stored in the shrine's warehouse that were used for sacrifices. I showed off to them at that time, but Anzai stole the relics one night. Mr. Shanshan, who was in charge of the warehouse, blamed himself and committed suicide because of this. I was too cowardly at the time, so I didn't tell anyone about it. And if you really want to count, I was also one of the accomplices.
It was from that time that I realized they would ruin my life, so I cut off contact with them, went back to school and studied hard, and then went to college, found a job, and met you. But then I met Anzai Morio. "
"Grandpa, I'm sorry! It's all because of me, Mr. Shanshan..."
"It's okay, Miaozi, I don't blame you..." I thought to myself: In fact, that matter is far from as simple as you said.
"Boom! Bang! Bang!" A series of explosions sounded, razing the shrine on the mountain to the ground.
Chapter 219 Bomb Maniac
The sudden explosion echoed throughout the foot of the mountain.
When people are frightened, they often react instinctively, just like Yuji hugged Taeko, and Murong Zhen hugged Okino Yoko and Xiaolan.
Xiaolan was held in Murong Zhen's arms, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart. In fact, when she saw the ring on Okino Yoko's hand, she knew the real relationship between the two, so she was more or less jealous and unhappy.
Yes, she has gradually made clear her heart, and plans to find an opportunity to reject Shinichi in person, and then accept the philandering Murong Zhen. If she doesn't hurry up, there are many more women behind her. Not to mention the distant ones, in addition to Okino Yoko who is also in his arms, the police officer Sato in a uniform is also looked at by Murong Zhen from time to time, especially the chest and thighs.
This was also discovered by Officer Sato, but after all, the man did not do anything out of line, so she was also very distressed. Although she had kissed his face before, that was only at the crime scene, and she was anxious to solve the case. Moreover, she also saw through Murong Zhen's playboy nature. It was impossible for her to date a playboy, but she could feel the majestic aura of justice emanating from Murong Zhen.
She could only keep convincing herself not to have too much contact with him, otherwise she might fall for him one day, after all, even the most popular stars have fallen for him. It would be hard for her, a mere policewoman, to resist.
Return to explosive reality.
"Grandpa, that's the location of the shrine!"
"Yeah, that's good. Actually, this is pretty good."
"grandfather..."
"Officer Sato, please arrange for someone to clean up the scene and take everyone back to the hotel first. At the same time, call the Explosion Division and ask them to send experts over. I will take people up to take a look first, and you will follow later." After arranging the work, Officer Megure looked deeply at Murong Zhen and walked towards the top of the mountain.
