Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

After seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka open the door and rush into the room, Yamagishi Eiji, who knew that he was in front of a humanoid Tyrannosaurus, had no intention of forcing his way in. He stood aside and waited for the police to arrive.

. . .

"Oh, brother Maori, are you the one who reported the case?" After receiving the news of the murder, the Tokyo police responded very quickly.

In less than twenty minutes, Inspector Megure, who had met Hiratsuka Shizuka once before, arrived at the scene.

"Oh, yes, Inspector Megure, long time no see." Mouri Kogoro laughed and didn't mean to be polite at all. He smiled and came close to Inspector Megure.

At this time, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was not so interested in the corpse, let Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure communicate the situation over there, and she quietly moved aside.

"Xiaolan, have those children been sent back?" Looking at Xiaolan standing beside her, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked casually.

"I don't know. I've already contacted their parents. When the police arrived and learned about the children's situation, they sent someone to take them downstairs of the apartment to wait. They said it wasn't a good idea to let such old children stay at the crime scene." Xiaolan nodded gently and said softly.

"That's the truth." Stretching lazily, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt like smoking another cigarette.

"Aunt Jing doesn't seem afraid at all when seeing the corpse." Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was calm beside her, Xiaolan blinked curiously.

"Ah, a corpse." Blinking and looking at the innocent-looking Xiaolan, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't bring herself to tell the story of how, when she was a child, that unscrupulous guy threw her into a haunted house made of corpses he got from somewhere for two days and two nights under the pretext of training her courage.

Besides, when Shizuka Hiratsuka was young and frivolous and looking for people to compete with, it would have been fine if everyone followed the rules.

But if someone is not convinced or wants to use dirty tricks, then the battle scene cannot be simply described as a sparring match.

In a battle where you can't hold back, the defeated party often looks even more miserable than dead, so Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't really take an ordinary stabbed corpse seriously.

"Ah, I have many opponents to practice martial arts with. I have seen all kinds of injuries from all kinds of people, so it's no big deal." Shizuka Hiratsuka said perfunctorily, making up an excuse.

"By the way, where is that kid Conan? Did you ask the police to send him back first?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked, rolling her eyes and trying to change the subject.

"No, I was worried about Conan being alone at home, so I left him here. Hey! Where's Conan?!" Xiaolan lowered her head in surprise, not noticing Conan who had just been standing next to her.

"Uh, over there, it seems like it sneaked into the room." Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head speechlessly as her eyes caught sight of the small figure in the room.

Is he really the same person as Shinichi was when he was a child, and not afraid of murder?

"Really!" Xiaolan stomped her feet angrily and took a step forward, wanting to catch Conan back.

"Inspector Megure, when we were investigating the scene, we found a strange collapsed and cracked floor at the corner of the corridor leading to the bedroom." A police officer investigating the scene walked up to Inspector Megure seriously and told him about the anomaly he had discovered.

"Oh? Where is it, and what does it look like?!"

"Uh." Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had just walked over and heard the conversation between the two, suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, um, Officer Megure, huh?"

"The cracked floor in the corner was caused by me. Sorry."

"???"

Chapter 135: One Hundred and Four, Mr. Kong, I'm going to take a trip

"Eh?"

Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka in surprise, Inspector Megure didn't know what to ask for a moment.

Under the guidance of the surveyor just now, Inspector Megure has already seen the cracks on the floor.

So it was hard for him to imagine that such destruction could be done by a woman.

"Well, Inspector Megure, my sister has been practicing martial arts since she was young, and her skills are very good." After a dry cough, Kogoro Mouri said to Inspector Megure with a smile.

"Oh, I see." He nodded slightly. Although he complained verbally about Kogoro Mouri's unreliability in the past, Inspector Megure still trusted his former colleague in his heart.

"Come in, everyone. The scene investigation is almost complete, and we have some questions to ask you." Inviting everyone into the room, Inspector Megure frowned as he looked at the corpse on the ground.

"According to what Brother Mori said, you discovered the crime scene together, right?" Inspector Megure put his fingers under the brim of his hat and scratched it gently. He looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was standing quietly beside him with some confusion.

"But this Ping..."

"Shizuka Hiratsuka."

"Ah, Miss Hiratsuka, why did you suddenly burst into the room?"

"Well, since I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, I'm very sensitive to things around me. When I was outside the door, I smelled the blood on the ground, so I became alert." Shizuka Hiratsuka shrugged casually, appearing to be very relaxed.

"After all, we have children here. If the murderer is still hiding in the room, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"

"Is that so?" Inspector Megure nodded slightly, as if he was convinced by Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Then let me ask again, did Ms. Okino Yoko and Mr. Yamagishi know this deceased man? After all, the body was found in Ms. Okino Yoko's home."

"Officer, I..." Yoko Okino opened her mouth and was about to say something when she was stopped by Eiichiro Yamagishi beside her.

"Officer, although it has been basically confirmed, I still want to confirm it carefully." His expression was a little stiff, and Yamagishi Ei looked at the corpse on the ground with some fear.

"Ah, there's no problem with that." Taking a step back, Inspector Megure made room between Yamagishi Ei and the corpse.

"Thank you, officer." Taking careful steps, Yamagishi Ei walked to the side of the corpse and bent down little by little, as if he wanted to carefully observe the face of the corpse.

"Ah!" Maybe it was because he was too timid or something else, but when Yamagishi Eiji bent down to observe, he lost his balance and slipped on the corpse.

"Wow!" screamed Yamagishi Eiji in horror, using his hands and feet to move away from the corpse.

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had been silently paying attention to this side, suddenly blinked. Although Yamagishi Ei's actions were relatively secretive, Shizuka Hiratsuka still clearly saw what his hand had just done.

"Mr. Yamagishi, are you okay?" Officer Megure asked in a deep voice as he reached out to help Yamagishi Eiichiro up.

"Ah, I'm fine, I was just startled. This man..." Yamagishi Eiji opened his mouth and was about to say something when his eyes inadvertently swept across Shizuka Hiratsuka who was standing at the edge of the room and looking at him with a smile.

"Gurgle!" His throat moved unnaturally, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across Yamagishi Ei's face.

"Mr. Yamagishi, let me tell you." Seeing Yamagishi's dilemma, Yoko Okino, who was standing behind him, took a step forward with a hint of sadness on her face.

"Inspector Megure, the man lying on the ground was my boyfriend when I was a student."

"Eh!"

Glancing at Kogoro Mouri who was making a fuss, Shizuka Hiratsuka yawned in boredom.

To be honest, Shizuka Hiratsuka wouldn't be very interested in this kind of murder case if it wasn't someone she knew.

Besides, there are detectives and police officers here, and Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't feel that she has anything to do with it no matter how hard she tries.

only.

Blinking, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Conan with some curiosity as he ran around the crime scene like he was familiar with it.

It seems like this kid has been looking for something in this house since a while ago.

"Do you really like detective games so much?" He shook his head helplessly, but Hiratsuka Shizuka's interest was slightly piqued.

After all, if he saw it correctly, when Yamagishi Eiji fell on the corpse and moved his hands, Conan's expression also changed.

"He has excellent observation skills and is quite capable of taking action. He really looks like Shinichi when he was a child. I guess it will be troublesome for Xiaolan to take care of him in the future." Out of curiosity about Conan's next move, Shizuka Hiratsuka did not say anything to expose Yamagishi Ei's actions.

After all, if his guess is correct, Conan will take the initiative to tell Kogoro Mouri.

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was leaning against the wall and casually glancing around, suddenly blinked, ready to watch the fun.

Just now, some white mist seemed to float out of thin air from the male corpse lying on the ground.

The room was full of police officers and people involved in the case. No one was smoking at this time. Where did the white mist come from?

Rubbing her eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked up at the corpse again.

Although it became more ethereal, Shizuka Hiratsuka had a vague feeling that there was indeed something there.

Moving her feet slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka relied on her own feeling and slowly walked towards the door.

What she didn't notice was that when she took a step forward, a cherry-colored butterfly that had landed on the wall of the corridor outside the door quietly shattered.

. . .

"Hmm?" The wine glass in her hand stopped in mid-air, and Huajian Yingluo suddenly showed an inexplicable smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" Such an abrupt action certainly could not be hidden from everyone in the tavern. After a moment's pause, the fat man asked curiously.

"It's just a small matter. You guys drink first." Huajian Yingluo smiled and shook her head, then put the wine glass on the table.

"Master Kong, please open the barrier of the tavern. I need to go to Yingdie's place."

Looking up at Kong Lao's indifferent gaze, Huajian Yingluo said with a chuckle.

"Brother Jing met that soul-stealing guy."

"Okay, try not to take action." Without any unnecessary movement, Kong Lao just nodded slightly after hearing the news.

"If negotiations are necessary..."

"If he doesn't want to break at least half of his soul bag, I think he should be able to chat with me just fine." Shrugging casually, Huajian Yingluo's figure instantly disappeared in the tavern, leaving only a few petals slowly falling.

"Okay, let's drink. Soul-stealing is annoying, but Mr. Hua is not someone to be trifled with. Let's just keep it simple~" After slapping the table, the fat man picked up the wine glass and started yelling again.

"Yeah, it's not our turn to worry about it, let's drink!"

"drink!"

Chapter 136 One, three, and five are not enough for Jing Ge to punch twice

After greeting the police officer standing guard at the door, Shizuka Hiratsuka was not stopped and easily left the room and came to the corridor.

"Well, is it over there?" She could no longer see the strange misty white fog, but somehow, Shizuka Hiratsuka could sense its location.

After thinking for a while, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt that she would not be able to sleep well at night if she didn't understand that thing, so she took a step forward without hesitation.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Jing!" Just after taking two steps, a surprised voice called out to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Hey, Yingluo? Why are you here?" Turning around subconsciously, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked in surprise.

The girl standing in front of me in the corridor with a surprised smile on her face, who is obviously a boy but more adorable than a girl, who else could it be but Huajian Yingluo?

"Me? I have a friend living here. I heard it was noisy here, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity." With her hands behind her back, Huajian Yingluo walked to Hiratsuka Shizuka with a smile.

Glancing around the room, Huajian Yingluo smiled and nodded.

"So someone died? No wonder there are so many people."

"... Although I know you are not an ordinary child, you shouldn't be so calm when you see a dead person." Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out and rubbed Huajian Yingluo's head with some helplessness, her tone a little subtle.

"Speaking of which, Jing-ge, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, I'm here?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned by Huajian Yingluo's question. Thinking of why she came out, she quickly raised her head, trying to sense the strange smoke again.

But unfortunately, the ethereal aura that was there before has now disappeared without a trace. Even if Shizuka Hiratsuka tried to sense it with all her concentration, she gained nothing.

"Ah, I lost her!" Shizuka Hiratsuka scratched her head in distress. She didn't blame Huajian Yingluo for this. After all, she was just bored and followed her out of curiosity. She just treated it as an illusion and it was gone.

"Brother Jing, are you looking for something?" A smile flashed in the depths of her pupils. Huajian Yingluo blinked curiously and turned her head to look around.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm too tired and my eyes are blurry." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and shook her head, then looked at Yingluo Huajian again.

"Did you come here by yourself?"

"Well, I've finished visiting my friends and am about to go sit with Master Kong. Brother Jing, do you want to come with me?" Huajian Yingluo smiled and invited Hiratsuka Shizuka, and she playfully lifted her feet up and down.

"Forget it. I'm also a person of interest in this case and can't leave for now. I'll bring some wine next time I'm free."

"That's great. The wines that Brother Jing brought are all good wines, different from the ones that Mr. Kong used to fool us in the tavern." Huajian Yingluo's eyes lit up and she raised her hands excitedly.

"Don't let Mr. Kong hear this, otherwise he will be angry and deliberately grind the plate to make a loud noise." Shaking her head with a smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help rubbing Huajian Yingluo's hair.

You know what, how come this child is so cute?

After walking past Hiratsuka Shizuka and scanning the room again, Huajian Yingluo's eyes flickered as if she saw something interesting.

"Okay then, Brother Jing, I'm leaving first. Remember to come to the pub when you have time, and I'll find someone to arm wrestle with you!" Huajian Yingluo skipped towards the elevator and waved to Hiratsuka Jing.

"Okay, no problem, let them wait!~" Looking at Huajian Yingluo jumping out of sight, Hiratsuka Shizuka blinked, and in the face of the police's somewhat strange look, she resisted the urge to take out a cigarette from her trouser pocket.

"Forget it, let's go inside and sit down." Shaking her head helplessly, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked into the house.

. . .

The rooftop of the apartment where the incident occurred is arguably the tallest building in the surrounding area, and usually few people go up there.

But something unexpected happened today.

Accompanied by some petals that would never appear on a roof, a petite figure appeared on the roof where the wind was howling.
