"You, you—"

The young man was none other than Yoko Okino's former boyfriend, Akiyoshi Fujie.

In Yin Kong's memory, she was the one who would have gone to Yoko's apartment to commit suicide.

Clearly, in Fujie Akiyoshi's mind, as long as he could clear up the misunderstanding from back then, he would definitely be able to reconcile with Okino Yoko.

However, it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that he had completely overlooked the most crucial factor: in this world, no one will stay in the same place forever, foolishly waiting for a relationship that has already been abandoned.

"You are—Fujie? Fujie Akira?"

Yoko Okino was also shocked after recognizing the man.

She subconsciously glanced at Yin Kong, who was standing right in front of her, afraid that he would guess her identity.

Seeing that Yin Kong's expression was normal, Yoko Okino couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the events of that day had overloaded her brain.

Fortunately, compared to her recent experiences, Fujie Akiyoshi's sudden appearance, while surprising, was nothing more than that.

So, after a moment of stunned silence, Yoko Okino quickly composed herself and asked calmly:

"Fujie, what are you doing here?"

"I... I just happened to be passing by."

Facing the seemingly unfamiliar Yoko Okino, Akiyoshi Fujie felt as if all his strength had been instantly drained away. He lowered his head helplessly, not daring to look up again.

However, the police officer who brought him up suddenly said:

"Just passing by? I doubt it."

The police officer had coral-shaped bangs and looked to be about the same age as Takagi, but he had a very arrogant expression and his eyes were filled with undisguised admiration for Sato Miwako.

"Officer Shiratori, do you suspect he is that stalker?"

Shiratori Ninzaburo glanced disdainfully at Takagi Wataru before speaking slowly and deliberately:

"That's right, Mr. Fujie. Since you say you just happened to be passing by here, you should remember why you ended up here, right?"

"me……"

Seeing Fujie Akiyoshi stammering and completely unable to speak, Officer Shiratori's expression became even more smug:

"Can't say it anymore? Then the answer is obvious: you are the murderer who sent the threatening letter and brutally killed the two victims!"

Fujie Akiyoshi was stunned for a moment before finally reacting, and hurriedly shook his head, saying:

"No! I didn't kill anyone! I was just passing by... I stopped by to buy cigarettes!"

Shiratori Ninzaburo seemed to have anticipated his response and immediately sneered:

"Stop making excuses, Mr. Fujie!"

We've already spoken with residents in the neighborhood, and some say they've seen you loitering around here more than once. But both your home and workplace are very far from here. How do you explain that, Mr. Stalker?

Shiratori immediately gave Sato a smug smile and continued to press him for answers:

"So, tell me honestly, how exactly did you kill the two victims?"

Fujie Akiyoshi was speechless and could only weakly repeat:

"I didn't! I really didn't kill anyone..."

Just as Fujie Akiyoshi was about to be taken away for investigation, Yin Kong suddenly spoke up:

"Officer Shiratori, I don't think Mr. Fujie is the murderer."

Fujie Akiyoshi was stunned; he never expected that Yin Kong would speak up for him.

As for Shiratori Ninzaburo, he was naturally extremely displeased that someone had interrupted his performance in front of his beloved. He glanced sideways at Yin Kong and questioned him rather rudely:

"Who are you?"

Yin Kong didn't answer his question, but instead pointed to the overturned coffee table:

"Look here."

What's so appealing about coffee tables?

Just as Shiratori Ninzaburo was about to make a sarcastic remark, he heard Sato Miwako suddenly realize something:

"I see, I understand now! Yin Kong, are you saying that there were actually more than just those two victims in the apartment at the time?"

Upon hearing his beloved's words, Shiratori Ninzaburo froze, forced to swallow the words that were on his throat.

Takagi scratched his head and asked:

"So, Yin Kong, Officer Sato, what kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Yin Kong slowly explained:

"Officer Shiratori believes that the two victims were accidentally stalked and thus tragically killed."

But did you notice? There were originally four teacups filled with tea on this overturned coffee table.

Takagi Wataru finally realized:

"You mean, besides Mr. Yamagishi and Ms. Yuko, there were two other people in the room at the time?"

Yin Kong lowered his head and exchanged a glance with Yoko Okino before nodding and saying:

"I think that's exactly right."

Sato pondered:

"So, those two who disappeared might actually be the real killers?"

"I see, I understand now!" The silent White Bird suddenly pointed at Yin Kong and Okino Yoko and said excitedly, "Actually, you two are the two who disappeared, right?"

Feeling a barely perceptible tremor in Yoko Okino's body, Yin Kong sighed helplessly:

"Officer Shiratori, such a vindictive attitude is not a quality that an excellent detective should possess."

Takagi also nodded and said:

“That’s right, how could someone as delicate as Miss Yoko be the murderer?”

"Weak? Not necessarily."

Shiratori sneered. Unlike Takagi and Sato, he came from the Shiratori Group and didn't have any strong feelings for idol stars like Yoko Okino.

He knew very well that these seemingly glamorous celebrities might not be so clean behind the scenes:

"Since we're talking about tea, why don't you think about it? If the two victims were meeting secretly, why would they bother to make tea?"

However, if Ms. Yoko were the hostess, entertaining other guests, wouldn't everything make perfect sense?

As expected of an elite from a conglomerate, he is far superior to Takagi in terms of reasoning, at least in terms of deduction.

This analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and even Takagi couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face.

Unfortunately, let alone the Shiratori Ninzaburo in front of him, even if that genuine Shinigami Elementary School Student came, he would never have imagined that there was such a thing as a teleportation anchor in this world.

So his smugness didn't last long before it was ruthlessly interrupted again.

“No, Officer Shiratori.” Eri Kisaki walked in from outside and said with certainty, “I can testify that Mr. Yoko and Ms. Yoko could not possibly be the murderers.”

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, the lawyer's expression stiffened for a moment.

After all, although no one could hear her confident thoughts, she was the only one among them who couldn't help but vomit, which was really hard for the proud Eri Kisaki to accept.

Looking at the powerful Eri Kisaki, Shiratori frowned and said:

And who are you?

Sato immediately introduced:

"This is Eri Kisaki, Attorney Kisaki."

"Attorney Fei?" Shiratori paused for a moment, then hesitated, "Could it be that the undefeated queen of the legal world?"

Not only Sato and Takagi, but even Yoko Okino couldn't help but show a surprised expression, after all, this title sounded extraordinary.

Noticing that Yoko Okino's body had relaxed again, Yin Kong looked at Eri Kisaki and asked curiously:

"Can Attorney Fei testify for me?"

Eri Kisaki nodded slightly and began to explain:

"Perhaps it was fate. I had just asked the police officers outside, and the neighbors heard a loud noise and screams and then called the police. The time was 1:42 pm, but less than ten minutes later, at 1:49 pm, my assistant accidentally bumped into Ms. Yoko."

Because we have a reservation, this time will definitely not be wrong.

However, we just tried it; it takes at least twenty minutes to drive there from that location, so these two are definitely not the murderers.

Hearing this, Takagi breathed a sigh of relief:

"I knew it! How could Yin Kong and Miss Yangzi be the murderers?"

However, Officer Shiratori was clearly unwilling to accept defeat so easily:

"No, 1:42 is just the time the police were called. Perhaps Mr. Yamagishi and Ms. Yuko had already been murdered long before that..."

Eri Kisaki gently shook her head and slowly said:

"I have naturally considered Officer Shiratori's question. But unfortunately, at 12:30 pm, Mr. Yamagishi came to the security room with Ms. Ikezawa's photo and asked her about it. At the same time, Ms. Ikezawa was attending a banquet."

Ms. Ikezawa didn't leave until 1:08 PM because she received a phone call from Ms. Yoko.

According to our estimates, it does indeed take about half an hour to drive from the banquet venue to this apartment, which roughly coincides with the time the report was made. Officer Shiratori, do you have any further questions?

Chapter 26 Painted Skin

Eri Kisaki truly lives up to her reputation as a renowned lawyer. While her reasoning skills may not be on par with the world's top detectives, her logic is virtually flawless.

With just a few words, he silenced the arrogant Shiratori Ninzaburo.

"Officer Shiratori, do you have any further questions?"

Faced with Eri Kisaki's seemingly calm but actually flawless questioning, Shiratori, in a moment of panic, finally blurted out:

"These are all just your side of the story, aren't they? What if you're actually—"

"Officer Shiratori!"

Upon hearing this question, Eri Kisaki's previously calm gaze instantly turned stern.

The undefeated queen of the courtroom slowly took a step forward. Although her hands were empty, Yin Kong felt as if she were holding a sword.

"Are you trying to accuse me of perjury on behalf of these two? Officer Shiratori, are you sure you want to take responsibility for your statements?"

Shiratori was completely speechless.

Because he knew very well that Eri Kisaki was not an ordinary person like Akiyoshi Fujie, whom he could manipulate at will.

If this lawyer were to accidentally find something on him, he would be in serious trouble.

It wouldn't be difficult at all to make his police career take a few more years of detours for no reason.

Looking at the completely silent Shiratori, Yin Kong could already imagine how this "undefeated queen of the legal world" had driven her opponents to the brink of despair step by step in the past.

Sato coughed lightly, trying to help his colleague out of the awkward situation:

"Ahem, Attorney Fei, I think Shiratori was just saying it casually, and he didn't really doubt you."

"Better so."

Eri Kisaki also understood the importance of knowing when to stop and did not continue to press the issue.

Having met with a tough challenge, Shiratori was unwilling to stay any longer. After making an excuse, he left with a dejected Fujie Akiyoshi.

Looking at their backs, there was a sense of shared misfortune between them.

"To be honest, I'm more curious about the killer's methods than the two people who disappeared."

Having already vomited, seeing the remains of two corpses again, Eri Kisaki still felt intensely uncomfortable, but not to the point of losing her composure.

She carefully examined the crime scene, her expression growing increasingly strange:

"What kind of murder method could leave behind such a bizarre corpse?"
