Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 Miss Yoko, you are the murderer!

Yuusheng Nan noticed Conan sneaking into the room, but he didn't pay it any mind.

Yuusheng Nan first helped Yoko Okino to sit on a chair, then turned his gaze to the center of the living room.

The sight before him was horrifying! A bewildered, blood-soaked ghost of a fat man was staring intently at Yoko Okino.

When it noticed Yuusheng Nan's gaze, it immediately turned ferocious, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Yuusheng Nan, screaming hysterically: "Stay away from my Yoko! Don't touch her!"

Facing such a terrifying scene, Yuusheng Nan remained unusually calm.

He subtly curved his lips into a barely perceptible smile, and quietly murmured, "System, absorb it."

No sooner had he spoken than the originally aggressive ghost suddenly seemed to be squeezed by an invisible giant hand, unable to move.

Immediately following a bloodcurdling scream, the ghost was forcibly torn into countless fragments with an expression of extreme unwillingness, then swiftly reassembled into a pure and concentrated mass of spiritual energy, continuously gathering into Yuusheng Nan's palm.

Accompanied by a clear and pleasant notification sound.

"Ding, gained 10 points of spiritual energy."

Nodding in satisfaction, Yuusheng Nan had nothing more to say about Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend; after all, it was his own choice... "Old Mori, is that you?!"

About fifteen minutes after Ran called the police, police cars arrived at the crime scene with piercing sirens.

The car door opened, and leading the team was Police Inspector Megure, a Police Inspector from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division One, Violent Crimes Section Three, and Kogoro Mouri's former colleague.

When Inspector Megure noticed Kogoro Mouri, he showed a surprised expression.

Yuusheng Nan stepped forward and explained the situation to Inspector Megure:

"Inspector Megure, we came to investigate at the request of Ms. Yoko Okino. When we arrived, we had already discovered this body."

"That's right, as Ms. Yoko's private Detective, I must find the criminal who tried to slander her!" Kogoro Mouri straightened his back, adjusted his tie, and said with righteous indignation.

Hearing this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but frown, looking at Yoko Okino with suspicion. A popular star actually hired a muddled Detective? Inspector Megure felt something was wrong.

At this moment, Inspector Megure suddenly felt that Yuusheng Nan, who was standing nearby, seemed familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him.

Noticing Inspector Megure's puzzled look, Yuusheng Nan took the initiative to speak: "Inspector Megure, my name is Yuusheng Nan. We met a few days ago at the amusement park."

"Oh, it's you!" Inspector Megure's eyes flashed with a look of sudden understanding after hearing Yuusheng Nan's words.

He instantly recalled the murder case that had occurred at the amusement park not long ago. At that time, Yuusheng Nan, with his unique scientific perspective, had explained in detail how the killer committed the crime.

Even the genius Detective Shinichi Kudo, who had been assisting them in solving the case, was outdone.

After understanding the purpose of these people, Inspector Megure walked with steady steps to the forensic police officers and asked with a solemn expression: "How is it? Have you found the cause of death?"

"Reporting, sir, after our careful examination and analysis, the victim's fatal injury is a stab wound on the back. Based on the depth and location of the wound, the victim must have suffered an extremely violent attack, resulting in severe injuries, and should have died on the spot without any surprises."

The forensic police officers stared intently at the body, observing every detail carefully, then answered solemnly.

After learning the cause of death, Inspector Megure turned his head thoughtfully, his gaze falling on Yoko Okino, and began to inquire: "Ms. Yoko, since this person died in your home, do you recognize him?"

Yoko Okino exchanged glances with Yamagishi Eiichi beside her, then gently shook her head and said: "We haven't had a chance to examine the body carefully, because Detective Mori protected the crime scene immediately."

"I see, Old Mori did a good job this time." Inspector Megure nodded in satisfaction, then beckoned to the two, signaling them to come forward and observe carefully.

Yoko Okino and Yamagishi Eiichi seemed a bit nervous, both cautiously walking to the side of the body. When they saw the face of the body, their faces instantly turned pale.

"How is it? Have you recognized the deceased?" Inspector Megure stood with his hands on his hips, staring at the two of them with a serious expression.

"So... sorry, I can't see very clearly." Yamagishi Eiichi stammered, while moving his feet forward, wanting to get closer to see clearly.

As soon as Yamagishi Eiichi reached the body, he slipped and lunged towards the body, simultaneously opening his palm, trying to pick up something.

Conan, noticing this scene, immediately rushed over, but someone was a step faster than him.

"Inspector Megure! There's a strand of hair here, you'd best take a look."

Yuusheng Nan said as he helped the trembling Yamagishi Eiichi up, and then pointed to the ground, signaling everyone to look — there lay a thin strand of hair!

"Damn it! This guy is so fast..." Seeing Yuusheng Nan find the crucial evidence a step ahead, Conan secretly regretted it.

Yuusheng Nan noticed the change in Conan's expression, his eyes slightly narrowed, a mysterious smile playing on his lips:

"Children shouldn't look at bodies casually, right, Conan?"

Faced with Yuusheng Nan's sudden question and that enigmatic smile, Conan's heart trembled, and he quickly nodded in response: "Ye-yes..."

Afterward, Yuusheng Nan nonchalantly handed the hair in his hand to Inspector Megure.

Conan, meanwhile, silently watched everything unfolding before him, his mind rapidly churning with various thoughts: Who exactly is this Yuusheng Nan? What are his intentions for deliberately approaching Ran? Countless questions flooded his mind, plunging Conan into deep contemplation... "It is indeed a strand of hair."

Inspector Megure said with a frown, taking the hair from Yuusheng Nan's hand and examining it carefully.

He stared at the length of the hair for a while, then suddenly turned his head, his gaze sharply fixed on Yoko Okino.

"Ms. Yoko, I think this hair should be yours, shouldn't it?" Inspector Megure asked in an undeniable tone.

Yoko Okino was startled by his sudden interrogation and quickly stepped forward to get a closer look at the hair.

When she confirmed that it was indeed her own hair, Yoko Okino's face showed a hint of astonishment and bewilderment.

Seeing Yoko Okino nod in acknowledgment, Inspector Megure's expression became even more solemn.

He cleared his throat and began his deduction: "Ms. Yoko, based on the on-site investigation and various clues, you are the murderer in this murder case, aren't you! This strand of hair is the evidence you inadvertently left behind during a fierce struggle with the deceased. Am I wrong?"

After saying this, Inspector Megure couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with his brilliant deduction. He turned his head, smiling at everyone.

Where is the applause? Where are the flowers?
