“Miss Yuzu,” Yu Quan nodded slightly and said.
“The amulet last time, it should have worked well, right?”
“Of course!” Chize Yuzu nodded without hesitation, “t-t-t” she jogged to Yu Quan’s side.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t formally thanked Mr. Yu Quan yet. I wonder if you have time tonight, I’d like to invite you to have tea at my place.”
After saying that, Chize Yuzu threw a flirtatious glance at Yu Quan.
Before Yu Quan could say anything, a questioning voice inserted itself from the side: “Do you two know each other?”
Conan ran to the middle of Yu Quan and Chize Yuzu, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two.
“Miss Yuzu is my client.” Yu Quan raised an eyebrow, then nodded to Chize Yuzu: “I will definitely visit tonight.”
“Client… Looks like another gullible fool who was scammed.” Conan muttered to himself, but his focus was mainly on the current murder case.
“Conan, you are so rude!” Ran Mori frowned, looking at Yu Quan’s hand with a mixture of anxiety and curiosity.
The effect of the previous talisman water had probably faded, now the soul couldn’t be seen anymore…
Yu Quan, who had temporarily sent the soul of 藤江明义 to the system space, shook his head towards Ran Mori, indicating he didn’t mind.
However—
As Conan turned around to look for clues, Yu Quan directly patted Conan’s shoulder with his hand, saying with deep meaning.
“Little brother, some things… You can disbelieve them, but you must respect them, or there will be misfortune.”
Unseen by others, a talisman smaller than Yu Quan’s palm was patted into Conan’s body.
Conan’s existence seemed to be related to the souls of this world, Yu Quan naturally wouldn’t kill Conan because of his doubts.
However, it’s no problem to make Conan suffer a little bit, right?
Conan didn’t notice anything unusual, he just rolled his eyes at Yu Quan: “I need to go to the bathroom!”
“That… Miss Yuzu, now we need you to explain, about an hour to half an hour ago, where were you, what were you doing? Does anyone have an alibi?”
Officer Mōri pinched his brow, his expression solemn as he looked at Chize Yuzu.
Thinking about why she was called here, Chize Yuzu’s joyful expression because of Yu Quan’s acceptance of her invitation froze, her fingers trembling slightly.
She answered off-topic: “Mr. Yu Quan, can you tell who the murderer is in this case? I can pay a commission.”
Yu Quan’s reputation was high, and his fees were not low. Spending it on solving a case was indeed a bit overkill.
However, Chize Yuzu originally wanted to get closer to Yu Quan.
Plus… although Chize Yuzu knew she was indeed innocent, she was indeed involved in some matters.
If the detective really investigated, whether her suspicions could be cleared aside, not to mention, her reputation would likely be damaged.
In this situation, Chize Yuzu naturally trusted Yu Quan more.
Yu Quan, who still had some impression of this case, guessed Chize Yuzu’s thoughts, nodded slightly, and turned to Officer Mōri.
“Officer Mōri, this case is actually a suicide.”
“Ah?” Officer Mōri widened his eyes.
Kogoro Mouri rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously: “Suicide? What are you kidding?!”
“The victim was clearly stabbed in the back. How could he commit suicide? Did the murderer stand behind him with a knife, and the victim ran into it?”
Officer Mōri nodded: “Yeah, it doesn’t look like a suicide at all!”
Yoiko Kuno looked at Yu Quan in surprise: “Mr. Yu Quan, can I ask why you said this person committed suicide?”
Conan, who also heard Yu Quan’s words, couldn’t help but come closer, as he approached the sofa, Conan’s left foot tripped over his right leg, and he fell heavily.
“Ah—”
Unluckily, Conan’s head happened to hit the corner of the nearby table, causing a big bump.
A smile curved Yu Quan’s lips, and then quickly disappeared.
“Conan, you’re so careless, you can trip on flat ground.” Ran Mori helplessly helped Conan up.
“Sorry, Ran-nee.” Conan said unconcernedly, his eyes fixed on Yu Quan.
This guy… why did he say 藤江明义 committed suicide?
“The aura of a suicidal soul is different from the aura of a murdered soul.” Yu Quan propped his head up with one hand, saying seriously.
Conan, who had expected Yu Quan to say something about evidence, immediately rolled his eyes.
Soul… haha, it’s still that lying charlatan!
He shouldn’t have had any hope.
“Yu Quan, please don’t interfere with official business.” Officer Mōri sighed, feeling a bit tired.
“Mr. Yu Quan is a man with real skills.” Chize Yuzu looked at Officer Mōri with displeasure.
“Hehe.” Officer Mōri chuckled.
“I got it.” Kogoro Mouri slapped his palm, then looked at Yu Quan and Chize Yuzu.
“The murderer is indeed Miss Chize Yuzu, after discovering that she left her earrings at the crime scene, a fatal mistake, she wanted to use Yu Quan to help her cover it up.”
“The two of them had cooperated before and knew each other well, it’s not strange that they would do this.” Kogoro Mouri nodded seriously.
