Chapter 5

"That’s right, the earring dropped at the scene will make you a murder suspect."

"No, that’s impossible, you must be lying to me!"

Ikezawa Yoko panicked completely; her heart was in chaos.

How did this man know she had dropped an earring?

"It’s very simple to confirm; why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly.

Ikezawa Yoko hesitated for a while, but finally decided to go and see.

She went downstairs, took the elevator back up, and pretended to come for a visit.

"Hey, Yoko, why are you all standing outside the door?"

Several different gazes were cast over instantly. ===== CHAPTER 14 =====

"Yoko? What are you doing here?"

Okino Yoko’s manager, Yamagishi Eiichi, showed a vigilant look.

"I, I came to ask Yoko, why did you steal my lead role... Ah! Someone really died!"

Ikezawa Yoko widened her eyes in surprise.

Kudo Shinichi—no, he had now shrunk into Edogawa Conan.

Hearing this, a flash of light immediately crossed his glasses.

"Big sister, what do you mean by someone really died?"

"Could it be that you knew someone died in Yoko-sister’s room a long time ago?"

Pretending to be cute, Conan said words that pierced the heart.

Swish, the gazes of several people looked over instantly.

"I..." Ikezawa Yoko was speechless.

Inside the room, taking advantage of everyone’s shifted gaze.

The table knife behind the man’s corpse rose and disappeared into the void.

Then, another table knife flew out of the kitchen and slowly and firmly inserted itself into the corpse’s back.

[Ding, you have obtained a long-term magic source. Click to view detailed information about the magic source.]

[Fujie Akiyoshi, committed suicide due to a misunderstanding, wanting to frame Okino Yoko. Stimulating the magic source can increase the speed of magic power condensation.]

Akaso Kaze first built a rectangular soul space, then threw the table knife along with the soul into it.

Fujie Akiyoshi’s soul had a firm expression and a fierce face.

Sizzle.

It turned into a fierce-looking stick figure.

The magic power just consumed was instantly recovered.

[Ding, your magic power cap has increased. Now, using a Level 1 spell can last for thirty-three minutes.]

[Your magic power cap has reached Level 2. Obtained rewards: Telepathy Magic, Truth Spell, Hand of Intent (Level 2), Soul Cage (Novice).]

[Telepathy Magic: Can transmit sound directly into the target’s mind, no need to worry about others hearing it.]

[Truth Spell: A spell that forces the target to tell the truth.]

[Hand of Intent (Level 2): A Hand of Intent that can change shape at will.]

[Soul Cage: Used to imprison souls, can automatically impose punishment.]

Yo, this is good stuff.

From now on, I don't even have to do it myself to stimulate the soul.

Akaso Kaze immediately cast the Soul Cage spell.

Rows of iron bars instantly appeared on the four walls of the space imprisoning Fujie Akiyoshi.

A sad prisoner’s confession song rang out in the space.

Then a tiny palm appeared in the iron cage and began to whip the soul.

Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap...

The damage wasn't high, but the insult was extremely strong.

Fujie Akiyoshi’s soul instantly grew larger and turned red.

Then, sizzle.

It was liposuctioned.

Inside Okino Yoko’s room.

Some police officers were conducting a scene investigation.

The young and beautiful Okino Yoko had red eyes and kept her head down.

Ran stood by, comforting her softly.

Mouri Kogoro, on the other hand, was jumping around like a monkey, very active.

Inspector Megure looked at the active Mouri Kogoro with a headache.

For detectives who often appear at crime scenes, Inspector Megure’s inner feelings were actually very complex.

On one hand, because of these detectives’ keen observation, with their help, the police could solve cases quickly and arrest criminals.

But on the other hand, these detectives could solve cases quickly while the police couldn't, which conversely showed the incompetence of the police, making Inspector Megure feel very unhappy inside.

"The killer is you, Ikezawa Yoko, there’s absolutely no mistake, otherwise how would you have known in advance that someone died in the room?"

Mouri Kogoro pointed at Yoko with his finger, putting on an unquestionable expression.

"I... I..."

If it weren't for not being able to explain why she was hiding in the stairwell, Ikezawa Yoko would have almost exposed Akaso Kaze.

"Now, follow my instructions."

A familiar voice suddenly came to her ear.

Yoko’s eyes widened instantly.

She looked left and right; there was no man speaking beside her.

It seemed no one else around heard this voice either.

"Don't doubt it, I am a person with magical abilities. As long as you do as I say, you will be cleared of charges soon. Do you want to go to jail and ruin your star career?"

Listening to this magical voice, Yoko gradually calmed down.

"Are you a detective? How can you slander people casually!"

Ikezawa Yoko glared at Mouri Kogoro.

"I just heard you all shouting about someone dying when I came out of the elevator, that’s how I knew in advance. This isn't my house; if you want to suspect someone, you should suspect the owner of the house first."

"Uh~"

This time it was Mouri Kogoro’s turn to be speechless.

Beside him, Conan’s eyes narrowed, his fingers forming an 'eight' shape to support his chin, falling into deep thought.

Ikezawa Yoko breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

But her little heart was still hanging.

The earring must have fallen in the room; the police will find it sooner or later. What should I do?

Ikezawa Yoko nervously wanted to go to the bathroom.

"Hold it." As soon as she showed the intention, she was stopped by Akaso Kaze.

"And you can't smoke either; just stand there properly for me, don't go anywhere."

Ikezawa Yoko could only stand stiffly, her legs pressed tightly together.

She really had to go.

Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, evaluations, and data. ===== CHAPTER 15 =====

"Don't worry, your earring is already in my hands, and other traces left behind have also been cleared by me. As long as you are obedient, I can help you clear your name."

Ikezawa Yoko could only hold on with a red face.

He is doing this for my own good; I must listen to him. ===== CHAPTER 16 =====
