Chapter 463 There are no good people around Hanyu Nan

A murder occurred and the police arrived at the scene quickly after receiving the report. Leading the team was Officer Yokomizo, a detective fan of Kogoro Mouri.

While Conan was being chased out of the crime scene by Kogoro Mouri, he took out his cell phone and called his good friend Heiji Hattori to seek off-site support.

Based on a careful on-site investigation and confessions obtained from questioning several witnesses, the police, after some analysis and reasoning, identified the suspect as Shizuka Ikenami.

"My name is Chi Bo, please give me your guidance."

Faced with the police's suspicious gaze, Ikeba Shizuka appeared particularly calm.

After introducing herself, she calmly told the reason why she came to the scene, "The purpose of my trip is to find an old friend, Mr. Shibata Shiro, and ask him to return an old photo he took 30 years ago to me, so I asked Mr. Maori to find this place."

After hearing her calm explanation, Officer Yokomizo turned his gaze to Maori Kogoro and said with a bit of inquiry: "Mr. Maori..."

"Yes, indeed."

Kogoro Maori nodded and helped to provide proof.

Officer Yokomizo looked serious and asked, "Ms. Ikenami, what photo are you talking about?"

"I think the photo she was talking about must be the one held in the deceased's hand!" Conan stood aside and pointed at Shibata Shiro who was lying on the ground.

I saw that the other person was holding an old photo tightly in his hand.

Upon hearing this, everyone present, except Ikeba Shizuka who remained calm, was horrified.

Officer Yokomizo looked even more flustered and checked hurriedly.

Maori Kogoro was also shocked. He leaned over in disbelief, still saying, "How is this possible...ah!"

Halfway through their conversation, the two saw clearly what was in the photo.

It was a young girl, facing the camera with a medal in her arms, and on the name tag behind her were clearly written the four big characters "Ikeba Shizuka".

"Ikenami Jinghua... Jinghua... You are Aunt Jinghua!" Xiaolan suddenly realized the other person's identity and shouted out.

She asked why she always felt that the other person was familiar, and it turned out that she had met the other person in Osaka before.

It was just that Kazuha introduced her as Hattori Shizuka, and from the time they met until now, the other party had always introduced herself as "My surname is Ikeha" without saying her name, which led to her failure to recognize the other party in time.

"What, Xiaolan, you know this lady?" Kogoro Mouri asked with wide eyes and surprise.

"I know her! Aunt Jinghua is Nan's swordsmanship master!"

As Xiaolan explained, she hurriedly ran to Ikebo Shizuka, bowed respectfully, and then reintroduced herself, "Hello, Aunt Shizuka, my name is Mao Lilan, and I'm Nan's girlfriend."

Ikebo Shizuka looked Xiaolan up and down with a gentle gaze, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Xiaolan, I often hear Hanyu mention you."

"Really?" When Xiaolan heard this, a trace of shyness appeared on her face and she smiled awkwardly.

While they were having a pleasant conversation, Conan's expression kept changing.

"Hanyu Kusunoki, this woman is actually related to Hanyu Kusunoki!"

Conan stared at Ikenami Shizuka who was chatting with Xiaolan, and gritted his teeth silently in his heart.

He was originally still looking for clues and thought that this woman should have little to do with the case, but now it seems that her suspicion has greatly increased.

It's not that he is overly suspicious, but there is no normal person around Hanyu Kusunoki. They are all wanton and lawless people.

Thinking of this, Conan sent a message to Hattori Heiji, urging him to come over quickly.

"But why is this photo in the hands of the deceased?" Kogoro Mouri, with a puzzled look on his face, couldn't help but interrupt his daughter's reminiscing.

"In my opinion, this is most likely a message left by the deceased before he died," said Officer Yokomizo with a frown.

"Impossible, this matter cannot be related to Aunt Jinghua!"

Knowing that the other person was her boyfriend's master, Xiaolan stepped forward decisively, stretched out her hand, and protected Ikeba Shizuka behind her.

Seeing her unhesitating movements, Ikebo Jinghua's eyes suddenly became gentle.

"Yes, yes, the photo should be sandwiched in the book. I think it just happened to fall when he fell to the ground." Kogoro Mouri also quickly helped to speak.

But Conan sang a different tune at this time, pretending to be innocent, pointing at the dead body on the ground, and said in a baby voice: "Hey, look, it seems that there is something under the belly of this uncle Shibata?"

After hearing this, Officer Yokomizo immediately squatted down to check and found that it was a novel.

Something was wrong, and even Maori Kogoro began to doubt, "Ms. Ikenami, could it be that the novel you borrowed was this one?"

“Yes, that’s the novel.”

Faced with this situation, Ikeba Shizuka's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "This is the novel I lent to Mr. Shibata 30 years ago and put the photo inside it."

With her words, the police immediately re-investigated the scene carefully. After a thorough search, they found a bloody wooden sword at the apartment's escape staircase.

Later, the police confirmed from Mrs. Shibata that the knife was an item from the deceased's home.

"Ms. Ikenami, I think you are the murderer!"

Officer Yokomizo looked at all the clues obtained through the investigation and pointed the finger at Ikenami Shizuka who was chatting with Xiaolan nearby.

Ikebo Jinghua calmed down Xiaolan who was agitated and wanted to defend her, and said calmly: "What do you mean?"

Officer Yokomizo said confidently, "I don't believe you can deny it. You called in advance and confirmed the location of the photo. In order to get the photo back, you actually came here once this morning and brutally killed Mr. Shibata Shiro!"

"Where is the evidence?" Ikebo Jinghua remained calm.

"The evidence is the bloody wooden sword. You had a heated argument with Mr. Shibata Shiro because of that photo, and then in desperation, you picked up the wooden sword on the shoe cabinet and hit the deceased on the head without thinking. I think Mrs. Shibata should be able to testify to this!"

Officer Yokomizo looked at Mrs. Shibata with a determined look, and waited for her to nod in confirmation before continuing:

"You must have thought that Mr. Shibata was dead, so you left the scene in a hurry. But you never expected that Mr. Shibata would hold on to his last breath, find the photo you were going to take back, hold it tightly in his hand, and leave us a crucial message. Do you have anything else to explain?"
