What followed was the description of what had happened and then Ikenami Shizuka mentioned Kudo Shinichi.
Conan was suspicious.
While Hikari Yuki was thinking that it might be because Hattori Heiji always called Conan with Kudo.
His mother might have accidentally heard it.
'She's not a very good liar, but she definitely has a big heart and didn't care much about it.' Hikari Yuki thought to herself as she looked at the woman.
As they headed to the location, Hikari Yuki paused on the door and frowned.
The smell of blood came from inside.
She's very familiar with this smell.
Injured or dead?
It seemed that the reason why the game didn't stop her from coming over this time was because the murder had already happened. They were here as witnesses.
Hikari Yuki didn't step inside, but she heard them yell and scream inside.
Her eyes flickered slightly.
'Someone is here… waiting? Is it for alibi?'
Hikari Yuki walked inside, following the voice as if she was curious and somewhat worried. She pretended that she knew nothing when someone appeared from behind and asked why they were here.
She looked at the room where the deceased lay.
The food, the television, and the newspaper….
Coupled with the fact that someone was watching them intently not long ago, Hikari Yuki could guess the truth more or less.
There was just no evidence.
And half of it was based on her instinct.
'I won't participate, then.'
Hikari Yuki is not a detective or in some kind of related profession. She could only stay behind and accompanied Mouri Ran instead of following Conan.
It was not like she couldn't develop a detective profession.
But Hikari Yuki is lazy.
It doesn't match her personality.
Moreover, she was not someone who would rush over immediately after hearing someone screaming. Instead, she would analyze the situation first before rushing over.
Hmm, she was indeed not suitable to be a detective.
Inspector Yokomizo came and started to check the case.
Hikari Yuki followed quietly beside Mouri Ran and looked around the room. She looked at the three suspects… well, only two since she knew very well that it was impossible for Ikenami Shizuka to do this. The wife is Shibata Kyouko and the other is Yoshikawa Takezou, Shibata Shirou's friend. Shibata Shirou is the name of the victim this time.
Hmm, she didn't remember the case story, but she could already guess the answer for this case.
'As expected, the game skills are also a bug.'
Without her game skills raised so high, Hikari Yuki was absolutely sure that she would never be able to detect those things. Yet at the same time, she also knew that she needed these things in order to survive in the Winery.
So in a way, a human's ability was truly raised to the limit when they were forced to a dead end.
Well, forget it.
Let's focus on the case.
Hikari Yuki pushed her thoughts and looked at the inspector in front of her.
"The estimated time of death is from around dawn to this morning…" the coroner had checked the deceased and said.
"Where were you at that time, Ma'am?" Inspector Yokomizo asked.
"Ah yes… I prepared my husband's breakfast and left just before 5 Am. I was going to play golf with one of my friends today. They were going to pick me up at 5 AM."
"At that time, was Shirou san at home?"
"Yes. He got home at around 3 AM. Took a bath and then went to bed."
"H-He got home at 3 AM?"
"Because of mahjong." Yoshikawa Takezou interrupted. "We were playing mahjong at my house, four floors below this house. As she said, the game finished at around 3 AM."
"By the way, what time does the morning newspaper next to his breakfast get delivered?"
"It gets delivered every day at 6 AM to the mailbox at the front door."
After that, the conversation turned to the TV and the recorder, which made Hikari Yuki want to yawn and stopped listening.
Sometimes, it was a bit tiring to listen to these things.
But her work after she came back will definitely involve these…
Hikari Yuki: "..."
Let's not think about this. How about if she just applied for an extension for her undercover work?
Hikari Yuki sighed in her heart and felt a bit tired as she listened to the police officers discovering clues one by one.
To be honest, she was quite amazed that there could be so many people near the crime scene in Conan's world. Then she saw the photos were taken out of Shibata Shirou's hand and Inspector Yokomizo said that it should be the victim's dying message.
'If there's a proper autopsy, they'll notice the real dying message.'
Hikari Yuki looked at the man's stiff hand and saw the round mark inside the man's hand. It was not very visible and to be honest, she wouldn't be able to see it if not for her observation skills that were raised to the maximum.
She slowly closed her eyes.
Forget it.
If she continued to take on more information, her brain wouldn't be able to handle it.
She had to stop thinking for a while.
"The culprit is Ikenami San, you're the one responsible for this." Inspector Yokomizo suddenly started his analysis.
Hikari Yuki opened her eyes and her eyes flickered slightly.
Are there no reliable police officers nearby?
She had the feeling that most of the police officers in Conan's world were mostly unreliable except for those related to the Winery or those who had passed away.
"You first called to confirm that the photograph was indeed still here. Then you came by yourself this morning to get the photo. But you had an argument over the photo at the front door. Without thinking, you then took the wooden sword from the shelf and hit him. He fought his way to the living room to reach for the phone call for help, but he found it difficult to move his body.
And right in front of him was the novel with your photo inside. With a last ditch effort, Shirou san collapsed the stack of books and drew his last breath, grasping the culprit's photo."
"But it's just a photo…"
"There must've been a secret in the photo. That's why she came here again with Mouri San to retrieve it. Now, Ikenami San, will you come with us to the police station?"
"I refuse," Ikenami Shizuka said with confidence and calmness.
