Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

About ten minutes later, Kogoro Mouri's surprised voice was heard.

"Mr. Shibata Shiro has ever participated in the social category of the Shizuoka competition? Yes... yes..."

Kogoro Maori took notes as he spoke.

After the call ended, Ikenami Shizuka asked, "Did you find it, Mr. Maori?"

"Well, it's said that Mr. Shibata Shiro often participates in various competitions and often achieves good results. He is currently working as a physical education teacher in Shizuoka and lives in a rental apartment with his wife."

Maori Kogoro briefly explained the situation and then said, "I'll go rent a car first."

Beichuan Taki took the initiative to say: "No, I'm free, I'll drive."

"Okay." Kogoro Mouri was naturally happy to save some money.

"Thank you, Mr. Kitagawa." Ikenami Jinghua bowed slightly. This was the result she hoped for.

Then, seemingly casually, he asked, "By the way, I heard that the famous detective Kudo Shinichi often comes in and out of your detective agency?"

"How is it possible that that brat comes in and out of my place so often?"

Kogoro Mouri was very unhappy. If Kudo Shinichi really came here frequently, his legs would be broken.

Xiaolan quickly explained: "You misunderstood, Shinichi has not been seen for a long time."

Seeing the two people's reactions, Ikebo Jinghua felt a little confused and apologized to them, "That was my mistake. I'm sorry."

Kitagawa Taki could probably guess that it was probably Hattori Heiji who let the secret slip in front of her.

"let's go!"

Xiaolan called out to Maori Kogoro, "Dad, why don't you call Conan?"

Maori Kogoro waved his hand and said, "I'm just looking for someone, no need!"

Kitagawa Taki asked curiously: "What do you want to do with Conan?"

Xiaolan explained.

Kitagawa Taki nodded slightly. It turned out that the boy had not given up on the Mori Detective Agency.

……

It's about six o'clock in the afternoon.

The group finally arrived at the apartment building where Shibata Shiro rented.

"It should be right here."

Kogoro Mouri looked at the door number and rang the doorbell, but there was no response for a long time.

Xiaolan guessed: "Maybe the couple is not at home?"

"Then let's find a place to sit outside to kill some time and come back later," suggested Kogoro Mouri.

Beichuan Taki gestured for them to check the door lock: "Look, the door is not locked."

He has experience. Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected will happen.

After a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he found that just as he had guessed, Shibata Shiro was lying dead.

Just then, a bald man came up to them.

"Do you guys have something to do with Mr. Shibata?" The man looked at them.

Maori Kogoro explained: "Yes, but it seems that no one is in the room, and the door is not locked."

"He must be sleeping. We have an appointment to play mahjong together later." The man walked to the door and turned back to say, "By the way, my name is Yoshikawa Takezo, and I'm Shibata's friend."

As he said that, he pushed open the door and shouted "Shibata" loudly into the house.

Several people took off their shoes and followed him into the house.

"The TV isn't turned off yet!" Takezo Yoshikawa glanced at the TV that was still playing and walked straight to the bedroom.

Xiaolan noticed that there was an unfinished meal on the table and touched the bowl with her hand, "The miso soup is already cold."

"What a pity! Such a good dish like Guci is gone!" Ikenami Jinghua glanced at the dishes next to her.

"Ju Ci?"

Ikenami Shizuka smiled and explained, "It's actually sweet sea bream."

Beichuan Taki glanced at Ikenami Shizuka and said, "Miss Ikenami, I can tell the type of fish just by looking at the flesh. Your cooking skills must be pretty good!"

Kogoro Mouri and Ran also cast inquiring glances at her.

Ikebo Jinghua said calmly: "Actually, my family sells fish."

A fishmonger? Sure.

"Oh, I see." Kitagawa Taki said as he walked towards the bedroom.

A female voice sounded from behind, "Who are you guys? How dare you break into someone else's house without permission!"

The woman, carrying a golf bag, took a defensive stance.

Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to explain, he heard Takezo Yoshikawa's exclamation from the bedroom.

Several people rushed to the bedroom to check what was going on, only to see Shibata Shiro lying unconscious on the floor, with Yoshikawa Takezo still shaking him.

"Don't shake it, he's dead."

Kitagawa Taki observed the expressions of the two people. Yoshikawa Takezo was anxious, and the woman seemed to be frightened and slowly sat down on the ground against the wall.

"Xiaolan, call the police!"

Kogoro Mouri squatted on the ground and checked the pulse. After confirming that the person was dead, he said to Xiaolan with a serious face.

"The body is stiff all over, the person has been dead for some time." Kogoro Mouri made a simple judgment.

Kitagawa Taki used a handkerchief to pick up the thing in Shibata Shiro's right hand, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a photo of Ikenami Shizuka.

In the picture, she is holding the second place medal, looking as if she is about to cry, which makes people feel pity for her.

"Ms. Ikenami, is this the photo you're looking for?"

"Yes." Ikenami Shizuka was also a little surprised why her photo was held in the hands of the deceased Shibata Shiro.

"Ms. Ikenami, this..."

Based on Kogoro Mori's experience, this was most likely a death message left by the deceased, but he found it difficult to accept that a great beauty like Ikenami Shizuka could be the murderer.

"I don't know what's going on." Ikenami Jinghua shook her head silently.

"Let's wait for the police to arrive."

Kitagawa Taki said this and stuffed the photo back.

……

Ten minutes later, the police finally arrived at the scene.

The person who came was the coral-headed police officer Yokomizo Sango, whom Kitagawa Taki had met once before.

When Yokomizo Sango saw his idol, he greeted Mouri Kogoro enthusiastically, and then nodded to Ran and Kitagawa Taki.

Kogoro Mori briefly explained the specific situation.

"I understand the situation. Who is that over there?" Henggou Chanwu looked at the woman by the wall.

Yoshikawa Takezo quickly introduced: "That's Shibata's wife, Kyoko Shibata."

"Go and comfort Mrs. Shibata."

Yokomizo Sango gave instructions to the two police officers beside him.

This state would not be convenient for him to ask questions later.

Then he began to examine the body.

The first thing you notice is the photo in Shibata Shiro's hand.

Seeing Yokomizo Sango pick up the photo, Maori Kogoro leaned over and said, "The girl in the photo is Miss Ikenami."

"Isn't this the death message left by Shibata?"

Yokoguro Chanwu turned and looked at Ikebana Shizuka.

"Could the murderer be..."

Although he didn't finish his words, his meaning was clear.

Maori Kogoro quickly said, "Hey, Officer Yokomizo, isn't it too early to draw conclusions now? If Miss Ikenami is the murderer, why would she ask us to return to the crime scene?"

After her initial surprise, Ikenami Shizuka is now very calm, as if she is not the one being accused of being the criminal.
