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

"I see."

What Ayako Suzuki said perfectly fits the marriage model in high society circles, which has always been a combination of interests and has never changed from ancient times to the present.

“Tell me about yourself…” Ayako Suzuki said with a smile, resting her chin on her hand.

"Me? What are you talking about?" Shiraishi was completely baffled.

"I sense that both my sister and Sonoko have feelings for you. I'm curious, who will you choose?"

"It's not like I can just choose whoever I want..."

"That's true... If you choose my sister, you'll probably only be able to have a romantic relationship... Even if my sister marries another man in the future, she might still be able to continue dating you, but I don't think you could accept that..."

Shiraishihara naturally couldn't accept this situation; women aren't like shared bicycles that can be used by multiple people in rotation.

Life is full of uncertainties, and no one can predict the future...

"You're right, life is unpredictable."

Ayako Suzuki giggled, her laughter exceptionally charming.

"Shiraishi-kun, compared to my sister, what do you think of me?"

“Ayako-neechan…you are outstanding…”

What does "exceptionally excellent" mean?

Ayako Suzuki picked up the sake, filled Shiraishihara's cup to the brim, and then filled her own cup as well.

The two continued drinking, and after a few cups of sake, the two, who were not very familiar with each other before, became more relaxed and uninhibited.

"She is knowledgeable and reasonable, and gives people a particularly gentle feeling, like being bathed in a spring breeze..."

"Really?" Ayako Suzuki's face flushed even more, whether from shyness, the effects of alcohol, or a combination of both, it was hard to tell.

"Ok!"

"So, you like girls like me, right?"

"I...I like it..."

"Then how about we accept your sister's virginity?"

"what!"

Why such a big reaction?

“Ayako-neechan, you can’t joke like that.”

"My sister is not joking."

Ayako Suzuki looked serious.

“I was thinking, even if the murderer isn’t Tomizawa Yuzo, I still have to marry him. I actually care a lot about my first time, and I’d rather give it to you than to a fiancé I don’t like.”

"Shiraishi-kun, you know what? You give me a wonderful feeling, and you perfectly fit the image of the male lead in my mind. When I was in the drama club in college, I was thinking about what the perfect male lead should be like, and when I first met you, I had the answer."

"So, Shiraishi-kun, are you going to say yes to your sister?"

First.

107. The Ayako and Sonoko sisters are skilled in both offense and defense, using every trick in the book.

Chapter 107

Shiraishi was truly conflicted. He and Ayako Suzuki weren't very familiar with each other, whether it was the character in the anime or the real Ayako in real life.

Just as he hesitated, a slightly drunk Ayako Suzuki sat down beside him, her graceful demeanor as a well-bred young lady was exceptionally charming.

"You won't reject your sister, will you...? Your sister will really be heartbroken..."

"Uh……"

He turned to look at Ayako Suzuki beside him. Her phoenix eyes seemed to hold a thousand words, and her unique temperament, exuding elegance and grace, was hard not to be captivated by.

[Now that I've already transmigrated here, I shouldn't hesitate in this situation.] He silently encouraged himself, urging himself to stop hesitating. [Having come to this world, I must be brave and bold.]

Having made up his mind, he gently put his arm around Ayako Suzuki's waist and politely nodded to her.

Ayako Suzuki smiled sweetly, took Shiraishihara's hand, and walked towards her room, no longer caring about the bottle of sake that wasn't finished.

"Shiraishi-kun, come with me."

"Ah."

Shiraishi followed Ayako Suzuki into the room. After they sat down, they began to chat about some interesting things in their lives, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Afterwards, everyone went to the crime scene to cooperate with the police in their investigation.

Inspector Yokomizo led his officers to the villa and questioned the parties involved about the specific circumstances. They stated that around 11:30 PM the previous night, they witnessed the murderer killing Tomizawa Tetsuji. At the time, the murderer was wearing a hat and mask, so only his eyes were visible.

"You mean, around 11:30 last night, you witnessed the murderer killing Tetsuji Tomizawa?" Officer Yokomizo, sporting a curly hairstyle, asked, holding a small notebook.

Shiraishihara “350” replied, “That’s right. But the murderer was wearing a hat and a mask, so we could only see the murderer’s eyes at the time.”

Ayako Suzuki stepped forward and said with certainty, "Officer, I can confirm that the murderer is Yuzo Tomizawa."

"Huh? Why are you so sure?" Inspector Yokomizo asked, puzzled, "It's usually difficult to confirm a killer's identity just by looking into their eyes."

“I am Ayako Suzuki, and Yuzo Tomizawa is my fiancé. Even just looking into his eyes, I can tell it’s him…”

Ran and Sonoko, who were standing nearby, recalled the murderer they saw last night. His eyes did indeed look very similar to those of Tomizawa Yuzo.

Sonoko chimed in, "Officer Yokomizo, my sister won't mistake you, so don't worry."

Ran also felt that it was unlikely that Ayako Suzuki would mistake her for someone else, and couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that Yuzo Tomizawa, who seemed so honest and kind, would actually kill his own father."

After listening to everyone's testimonies, Inspector Yokomizo did not immediately accept Ayako Suzuki's statement, but instead began to think about and analyze it carefully.

Here's what happened... Tomizawa Tetsuji watched the game until 11:30 before leaving. The two escorted him to the entrance, and not long after, the power suddenly went out. Then they heard Tomizawa Tetsuji scream, and that's when they noticed what was happening outside.

Then, a person wearing a hat and mask was seen killing the old man and running away quickly, disappearing without a trace. According to Ayako Suzuki, this person was Yuzo Tomizawa, the son of Tetsuji Tomizawa.

Officer Yokomizo ordered his men to bring over Tomizawa Yuzo, who lived in the villa next door.

Not long after, Tomizawa Yuzo arrived at the scene, looking completely bewildered, unaware of what had happened.

"Ayako, what happened? Why are there so many police officers?"

Ayako Suzuki's face darkened; she naturally wouldn't give this suspect a friendly look: "Yuzo... don't you know what you've done...?"

"Ayako, what are you talking about?" Tomizawa Yuzo was still completely confused.

"You're Tomizawa Yuzo?"

"That's me." Tomizawa Yuzo looked at the ramen-haired detective who had asked the question. "What exactly happened?"

"Your father, Tetsuji Tomizawa, is dead."

"what!"

Inspector Yokomizo then questioned, "Tomizawa Yuzo, did you kill your father last night?!"

Tomizawa Yuzo hurriedly retorted, "How could I possibly kill my father? Don't joke like that!"

"What's going on, Xiong San?"

At this moment, two young men walked towards them. Their faces were almost identical to Yuzo's, except for their hairstyles.

“Second brother? Eldest brother?” Tomizawa Yuzo turned his head and said, “They insist that I killed Father, but I don’t know anything about it.”

"Triples?"

Everyone was taken aback, and even Ayako Suzuki, who firmly believed that the murderer was Yuzo Tomizawa, couldn't help but waver.

At the crime scene, all relevant personnel gathered together. The sudden appearance of the two brothers made the case even more complicated.

"So it seems the killer is one of the three of you." Inspector Yokomizo narrowed his eyes. "Triplets... that's quite interesting."

"What are you talking about?" Tomizawa Tatsuji, the second son of the Tomizawa family, wearing a suit, looked puzzled. "What murderer?"

“Your father, Tetsuji Tomizawa, was murdered last night.” Inspector Yokomizo stared at the triplets with a serious expression.

"Dad is dead?" The eldest sons, Tomizawa Taichi and Tomizawa Tatsuji, looked on incredulously.

Inspector Yokomizo continued, "There were four eyewitnesses who saw the murderer among the three of you! Tell me what you were doing at 11:30 last night?"

Tomizawa Tatsuji said nonchalantly, "I was in Okinawa last night on a business trip. I only arrived at Tokyo Haneda Airport three hours ago on the earliest flight. Besides, the last flight from here to Okinawa is at 8 p.m., so there's no way I could see Dad here at the villa."

Tomizawa Taiichi told Inspector Yokomizo, "I do have some evidence that can barely be considered an alibi. I left a voicemail around 11:30 last night."

"Phone message?" Officer Yokomizo frowned. "I have to go check it."

The group arrived at Tetsuji Tomizawa's room.

"Hello, Dad, this is Taiichi,"

A voice came from the answering machine.

"Great, the Air vs. Air team finally won, thanks to Kogure's home run that hit the light pole in the bottom of the sixth inning. Kogure is a really great hitter... Recording time: 11:34 PM."

"This is a call from Osaka."

Tomizawa Taichi looked relaxed. "This should count as an alibi, right?"

"This is exactly the time when the murder occurred..." Detective Yokomizo frowned slightly.

"No matter how you look at it, my older brother couldn't possibly be the murderer."

Tomizawa Tatsuji looked at Inspector Yokomizo, who was deep in thought, and said with a smile.

"Because that match was only broadcast on satellite TV, and it ended at around 11:25 PM, if you hadn't watched the match, your older brother wouldn't have known so clearly."

"Moreover, the satellite broadcasting equipment at our villa is broken, so the only place nearby that can watch the game is the Suzuki family's house."

Tomizawa Tatsuji said with certainty,

"In short, both my older brother and I have alibis. The only possible culprit is Yuzo, who has been staying here all along."

"How could this be?" Tomizawa Yuzo was covered in sweat as he looked at Inspector Yokomizo. "Inspector Yokomizo, I'm really not the murderer! I've been in the studio the whole time... and I have absolutely no reason to kill my father!"

Officer Yokomizo said coldly, "Do you have any evidence to prove you've been in the studio the whole time? Is there anyone who can vouch for you?"

"I..." Tomizawa Yuzo was speechless, truly unable to prove himself.

Inspector Yokomizo said, "It seems you are the murderer, Yuzo Tomizawa."

"I'm really not the murderer!" Tomizawa Yuzo was almost in tears.

"Hehe... Based on my years of experience handling cases, murderers usually won't confess. You should just confess honestly." Officer Yokomizo said confidently.

"I'm innocent! I have no reason to kill my father; I'm being framed. Besides, I'm getting married soon, how could I possibly kill my father at this time?"

Tomizawa Yuzo firmly denied it, but he was the prime suspect, and no one was willing to speak up for him.

"Ayako, please put in a good word for me!"

Ayako Suzuki said coldly, "I have nothing to say. I trust the police's judgment."

Officer Yokomizo was pleased with Ayako Suzuki's words and appeared even more confident.

He smiled slightly and looked at Shiraishihara: "Shiraishihara, you're a high school detective, what's your opinion on this?"

"I don't have any particular opinion." Shiraishi pretended to be unaware and intended to remain silent.

Since high school detective Shiraishihara had said so, it seemed that Tomizawa Yuzo had no hope of overturning the case. Suzuki Ayako couldn't help but smile as she looked at Shiraishihara with affection.

This subtle gesture was noticed by Tomizawa Yuzo, who was shocked. His fiancée could still smile when she learned that he was going to prison, and she was smiling at Shiraishihara. Her smile was so bright that he had never seen it before.

Inspector Yokomizo laughed heartily, puffing out his chest confidently: "The murderer is definitely Tomizawa Yuzo. I handle cases myself; I don't need detectives to interfere!"

Despair filled Tomizawa Yuzo's eyes.

"How could this be... How could I be the murderer! There must be some mistake!"

"Tomizawa Yuzo, we'll talk at the police station!"

Officer Yokomizo did not believe Tomizawa Yuzo's explanation at all and ordered his men to take him into custody.

Tomizawa Yuzo, who was being held by the police, became so anxious that he started talking nonsense.

"Wait, I know! It must have been Shiraishihara and Suzuki Ayako who conspired to kill my father and then framed me!"

Everyone who heard this thought Tomizawa Yuzo was utterly unreasonable; even a cornered dog shouldn't utter such an absurd excuse...

Sonoko said coldly, "Tomizawa Yuzo, my sister is the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, and you are not allowed to slander her here!"
