Detective Conan: Developing a younger version of Ran Eri, and the stunning Yukiko.

"Yes, I already know who the murderer is."

Everyone ignored the strange phenomenon that Kogoro Mouri could make sounds without moving his mouth and listened intently to his reasoning.

He showed absolutely no reaction to Conan Edogawa, who was performing a charade behind the sofa where Kogoro Mouri was sitting.

Shiraishi couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This is practically a supernatural phenomenon!"

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Xiao Lan beside him.

"Xiaolan, do you think your father is behaving normally right now?"

"Hmm?" Xiaolan pinched her chin and looked her father up and down. "It is indeed a bit abnormal... But, this is the only way my father can uncover the truth, so I'm used to it."

"The murderer is Teng Jiangyiming. That's right, this is a suicide case."

The killer used ice to fix the blade to the ground, then fell backward from the chair, landing on his back, creating the illusion that he had been stabbed to death from behind.

The reason Ms. Yoko's room was so hot was because the murderer attempted to melt the ice using the air conditioner.

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's flawed reasoning, everyone actually believed it to be true.

Inspector Megure asked with a puzzled look, "But, Mori-kun, why did Yoshiaki Fujie insist on going to Yoko's house to commit suicide, and even go to such lengths to frame Yoko for his own death? What exactly happened?"

"Kogoro Mouri" continued in response: "Actually, Yoshiaki Fujie is Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend, and he wants to get back together with Yoko Okino."

As it happened, they stumbled upon Ms. Yuko, who had stolen the key and sneaked into the house, mistaking the person who came looking for Ms. Yoko's scandal for the real Ms. Yoko.

He tried to hug her, but she pushed him away in terror. Despondent, he contemplated suicide and framing Ms. Yoko.

Hiding behind Kogoro Mouri, Conan Edogawa finished explaining his reasoning using Kogoro's voice, put down his ribbon, and breathed a sigh of relief. The great detective had successfully solved another case.

However, unlike the others, Shiraishihara had more questions after hearing Kogoro Mouri's reasoning.

First of all, it would be difficult to make such a large block of ice in such a short time;

Secondly, where did Fujie Akiyoshi find such a large square mold to freeze the knife to the perfect position?

Furthermore, Tomoko Ikezawa and Yoko Okino look nothing alike, and Akiyoshi Fujie, as Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend, could not possibly have mistaken her for someone else.

"There is only one explanation: this was all meticulously planned."

As for who it is...

Shiraishi Hara focused his suspicions on Yamagishi Eiichi, whom he considered the prime suspect.

However, there is currently no evidence.

"Then let's steal Eiichi Yamagishi's ill intentions and let him expose them on his own!"

Shiraishi reached into his pocket, where he found the Phantom Thieves of Hearts cards that he had printed in advance using a home printer.

By showing the Phantom Thieves' cards, you can enter Eiichi Yamagishi's Palace of Hearts.

"What's wrong, Shiraishi-kun?"

The truth has come out and Yoko Okino has been cleared of suspicion, which is a good thing.

But Shiraishihara's expression grew increasingly serious, which made Ran worry.

"Is there another murderer?"

"Huh?" Xiaolan was startled. "Who is it?"

I'll keep you in suspense for now.

The next moment, Shiraishi Hara grasped Ran's soft, smooth little hand. "Ran, come with me to the real culprit's mental sanctuary, and we'll find out the answer."

"A sanctuary for the soul".

Ran recalled her past experiences as the Phantom Thief Idol, as if it were another life. "Great!"

Shiraishi took out the Phantom Thieves' cards in front of Yamagishi Eiichi.

And so, he successfully entered Eiichi Yamagishi's Palace of the Heart with the phantom thief idol Ran.

No. .

033 was shocked.

Chapter 33

As the system says, all you need to do is pretend.

The two were truly astonished when they stepped into Eiichi Yamagishi's Palace of the Heart.

"Whose palace of the heart is this?" Xiaolan couldn't help but blurt out.

“Eiichi Yamagishi,” Shiraishi replied.

"Eiichi Yamagishi, Ms. Yoko's manager!"

In Eiichi Yamagishi's Palace of the Heart, there are life-size models of Yoko Okino, posters of Yoko Okino are plastered all over the walls, and Yoko Okino's songs are playing in the background.

"This doesn't seem like Yoko Okino's manager at all; he's totally a sasaeng fan!"

Ran was astonished by Eiichi Yamagishi's exaggerated Palace of the Heart.

"I think so."

That being said, Shiraishi Hara felt that Yamagishi Eiichi secretly admired his idol, which was perfectly understandable.

However... killing is wrong. No matter how much you want to protect your favorite idol, you should never kill someone!

Eiichi Yamagishi's Palace of the Heart was not complicated in its structure, and Shiraishi and Ran soon met the main character.

Eiichi Yamagishi was kneeling and licking various Yoko Okino uniform models when he saw an uninvited guest intrude, and his face turned green with anger.

"Who are you? Who gave you permission to trespass into my private space? Get out!"

"I'm sorry!" Xiaolan apologized subconsciously, realizing that it was inappropriate to spy on other people's privacy.

Shiraishihara, however, showed no sign of backing down, radiating an aura of righteousness.

“I’m not interested in your personal space. I’m here to take away your ill will.”

"What did you say!"

Upon hearing Shiraishihara's words, Yamagishi Eiichi was not only angry, but his face twisted with rage, and he exuded a murderous aura.

The demon possessing him also appeared behind him; it was a demon with a bird's face and a big belly.

"You are a murderer!"

Shiraishi pointed his finger at Yamagishi Eiichi's nose, "I am also a fan of Yoko-san, and I will never allow Yoko-san's manager to be a murderer!"

"Shut up! I'm not a murderer!"

“You killed Teng Jiangyiming, you are the murderer.”

Upon hearing this, Yamagishi Sakae immediately felt guilty.

"You're talking nonsense. Teng Jiangyiming committed suicide. It has nothing to do with me."

Shiraishi Hara waved his hand, directly refuting Yamagishi Eiichi's sophistry, and offered his own reasoning.

"Stop making excuses. It's too much of a coincidence that Tomoko Ikezawa and Yoshiaki Fujie both appeared at Yoko Okino's house at the same time. This was clearly something you planned."

After you killed Fujie Yoshiaki, you faked it as a suicide. This was something you planned beforehand, with the aim of completely eliminating Fujie Yoshiaki, who was harassing Okino Yoko, and ending the problem once and for all.

Undeniably, you have fulfilled the responsibilities of an agent.

You killed two birds with one stone, eliminating Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend and rival.

But that doesn't change the fact that you are a murderer.

"Miss Yoko's manager is a murderer! I absolutely cannot agree to this!"

After Shiraishihara exposed the truth, Yamagishi Eiichi became furious and embarrassed.

"How do you know?"

Eiichi Yamagishi trembled all over, "Who exactly are you?!"

"I am Shiraishihara, the Phantom Thief of Hearts."

Shiraishi struck a pose, "If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it in the first place. Your tricks won't escape my eyes!"

Upon hearing Shiraishihara's words, Yamagishi Eiichi suddenly let out a twisted, maniacal laugh and pointed at Shiraishihara.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you."

As long as no one knows I'm the murderer, I haven't killed anyone!

At this moment, Eiichi Yamagishi was shrouded in an evil aura, and even the demon behind him became increasingly terrifying.

Upon seeing Yamagishi Eiichi confess to being the murderer, Ran covered her mouth in shock. At the same time, she earnestly advised Yamagishi Eiichi to turn back from the dead.

“Mr. Eiichi Yamagishi, even if you did it to protect Ms. Yoko Okino, you shouldn’t have resorted to murder.”

Murder is wrong, and even Ms. Yoko Okino wouldn't approve of what you did.

I think you know better than anyone that Ms. Yoko Okino is a kind idol.

Please turn yourself in.

Only by turning yourself in to the police will Yoko Okino forgive you!

"Stop making so much noise! ​​I'm going to wipe you all out and protect the best Yoko Okino."

Eiichi Yamagishi completely lost control, and the demon behind him also went mad.

No. .

034 Can you forgive me?

Chapter 34

"Attack, General Cat!"

Shiraishihara quickly launched a counterattack. He had only managed to defeat the demon twice before with the help of Ran, but this time he was determined to defeat the demon alone.

Shiraishi Hara donned the Cat General Persona, instantly conjuring a super cool smoke fan as a weapon, and engaged in a fierce battle with Yamagishi Eiichi.

Yamagishi Eiichi opened his blood-red maw and spewed out raging flames at Shiraishi Hara. Shiraishi Hara waved his fan and suddenly pushed the flames back, burning Yamagishi Eiichi to ashes.

"Wow, Shiraishi-kun, that's so cool."

Ran was originally planning to help, but Yamagishi Eiichi was instantly defeated by Shiraishihara, and the girl was completely impressed by this scene.

After eliminating Eiichi Yamagishi, Shiraishi took away Yamagishi's ill will, which then transformed into a completely new persona.

Inmoro-ki: A Japanese yokai that resembles a bird, has a human face, makes an annoying cry, and can breathe fire.

Unique ability: The resentment of being hungry.

Although it may seem like a period of time has passed in the sanctuary of the soul, in reality it is only a fleeting moment.

After believing Kogoro Mouri's reasoning, Inspector Megure prepared to close the case as Yoshiaki Fujie's suicide and planned to withdraw from the team.

Suddenly, there was a "plop".

Just moments ago, Yamagishi Eiichi was perfectly fine and appeared calm, but without warning, he suddenly knelt down.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces full of confusion, completely bewildered as to why Yamagishi Eiichi had suddenly knelt down.

"Mr. Eiichi Yamagishi, what are you doing? This is unacceptable! This is unacceptable!"

Inspector Megure rushed forward to help Eiichi Yamagishi up.

However, Eiichi Yamagishi did not cooperate with Inspector Megure at all, and a string of tears full of regret welled up in his eyes.

"Inspector Megure, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."

"Where did you go wrong?"

Inspector Megure looked completely bewildered.

“I killed Teng Jiangyiming. I have betrayed Miss Yangzi’s trust in me.”

"What!" Everyone was taken aback.

Conan, who was hiding behind Kogoro Mouri, changed his expression instantly. He had just concluded that the victim had committed suicide, but Eiichi Yamagishi suddenly jumped out and confessed. What was going on?

Conan quickly picked up the voice changer again and retorted in Kogoro Mouri's voice, "Yoshiaki Fujie committed suicide. I've already given my reasoning!"
