In the world of Detective Conan, however, he was bound to the Naruto System.

Chapter 91 Hire a Good Lawyer

Chapter 91 Hire a Good Lawyer

Yuji Shimazaki looked at the man lying in front of the stone lion. There were no signs of anyone else having been there. He breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems there's still time to fabricate evidence; hopefully, those two famous detectives won't find out.

Thinking of the newspaper reports about the two famous detectives, one was incredibly skilled and boasted about as if he were unparalleled, and the other claimed to have solved cases while asleep. Neither of them was someone to be trifled with.

Although I know there's some exaggeration involved, so many cases have been solved; it couldn't possibly be just hype.

However, for Taeko's sake, he was willing to risk giving false testimony.

Yuji Shimazaki took off Anzai Morio's vest, clothes, and hat, threw them aside, and then prepared to put the unique watch he was wearing in the area back on his wrist.

However, just as he squatted down, four pairs of shoes—three large and one small—suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shimazaki Yuji's neck stiffened instantly, as if it had rusted, and he raised his head to look at the four of them.

Popular idol Yoko Okino, Ran Mouri, the daughter of the sleeping Kogoro Mouri, a short and unassuming child who always gives people the creeps, and the detective Hiko Akutagawa, who has recently become famous for his efficient crime-solving and ability to reform criminals, whom he worries about the most.

The three looked at him with serious expressions, while the famous detective looked at the death message left by Anzai Morio: "Mamegaki—"

Upon hearing this, Shimazaki Yuji instantly realized what was happening, but he was completely incoherent: "No, it wasn't Taeko who did it, someone was trying to frame him, no, it was me, I was the one who wanted to kill Anzai Morio." As if realizing that his words were completely untenable, Shimazaki Yuji quickly got up and rushed to the side of the death message left by Anzai Morio, trying to wipe away the bloodstains.

Akutagawa Hiko didn't react much, but Mouri Ran was startled. She had heard several times that Akutagawa Hiko had been attacked by the murderer while solving cases, and had been slapped with a whip kick.

The kick landed squarely on Shimazaki Yuji's abdomen, nearly popping his eyes out. His stomach churned, and he crashed heavily onto the blood-stained stone lion.

Fortunately, according to the laws of Detective Conan summarized by Akutagawa Hiko, in the case of bare hands, the fighting skills that can usually break stone tablets and bend iron telephone poles, if not aimed at killing people, will at most incapacitate people.

So even though Shimazaki Yuji looks like he's been beaten badly, he might be back to his old self in a little while.

Just as Akutagawa was about to remind Ran to call the police, he saw that Ran had already dialed the police number and was asking him with her eyes what was wrong when she saw him looking over.

Shaking his head, Akutagawa Hiko pulled a white handkerchief from Conan's pocket and took out several photos from the pocket of the clothes that Shimazaki Yuji had placed there.

Yoko Okino immediately recognized the woman inside: "Isn't that Ritsuko Akiyama? But she's already married!"

In the photo, Nachi Shingo and Akiyama Ritsuko are behaving intimately, as if they were a married couple. However, since the actress is already married, the nature of this situation is self-evident.

Without a doubt, this is infidelity.

Before the police cars arrived, they first spotted Nachi Shingo, who had come from the Beika Hotel to make a deal with Anzai Morio.

So, the handsome guy who was squatting to the side, dejectedly planting mushrooms, suddenly had two.

However, the reasons were different. One was because the scandal of being a mistress could no longer be covered up, and the other was because they couldn't help their fiancée cover up her crime. Police cars arrived at the crime scene with sirens blaring, and the hotel guests who had been notified also came to the shrine.

The deceased's death message and the bloodstained murder weapon were neither taken away nor disposed of. Before long, all the evidence pointed to Taeko Mamegaki, who looked like a weak and obedient girl.

Yuji Shimazaki wanted to take the blame for Taeko Mamegaki, but she stopped him.

"It was I who killed Anzai Morio."

Having just heard the whole story from Hiko Akutagawa, Inspector Megure then asked, "Do you know about Mr. Shimazaki impersonating Mr. Anzai?"

This point is crucial and directly determines Shimazaki Yuji's guilt, because he was stopped by Akutagawa Hiko and his group midway and did not actually destroy the crime scene.

Taeko Mamegaki shook her head and said, "No, I didn't know. I was startled when I saw Anzai at the inn. It was all very strange. I never expected—"

In a question-and-answer session, Taeko Mamegaki began to explain her motives for killing.

The current world of Detective Conan is not yet fully developed. The process of crying, kneeling, and repenting has not become a convention, and Mamegaki Taeko in front of us skipped the first two steps.

It turns out that when Mamegaki Taeko was in high school, her parents died unexpectedly, and she was going through a rebellious phase, so she became a "spiritual younger sister" for a period of time.

On one occasion, she accidentally revealed that her family's shrine had expensive ritual items. When Anzai Morio found out, he actually broke into the shrine and stole those items to sell for money.

She originally wanted to expose him, but unexpectedly, the warehouse manager at the time was so filled with remorse that he hanged himself in the shrine.

Still a high school student, she was too terrified to tell the truth, after all, according to Anzai Morio, she was a key accomplice who provided him with intelligence.

Since then, Taeko Mamegaki has become a good child in her grandfather's eyes, a good student in her teacher's eyes, and a good friend in her classmates' eyes—"

Even now, just when she was about to marry the man she loved, Anzai Morio suddenly reappeared, trying to blackmail her using the events of that year.

Taeko Mamegaki couldn't bear to let such a heavy burden weigh on her marriage, so she took the real knife that the film crew used for acting and invited Morio Anzai to the shrine, intending to threaten him into giving up his blackmail.

But to everyone's surprise, instead of being afraid, Anzai Morio charged forward. In the ensuing struggle, Mamegaki Taeko accidentally plunged her knife into Anzai Morio's chest.

In her panic, Taeko Mamegaki didn't do anything to clean up the scene; she didn't wipe away fingerprints or create an alibi.

It's fair to say that even if Akutagawa Hiko and Conan hadn't come, the police could have easily caught the real culprit if it weren't for her boyfriend.

Taeko Mamegaki and Yuji Shimazaki were taken into police cars, and the handsome Shingo Nachi is likely to be embroiled in a scandal soon. The once-promising production crew has been torn apart in an instant, and the director is practically in tears.

Akutagawa Hiko talked with Mamegaki Taeko's grandfather for a while and suggested that he hire a better lawyer for Mamegaki Taeko so that her sentence could be reduced as much as possible.

First, Anzai Morio's extortion came first, and Mamegaki Taeko carrying a knife can be explained as a lone man and woman on a dark and windy night, so why would they be afraid of what the other party might do?

So it's perfectly normal to use it for self-defense.

If they can do extortion, what else can't they do?

Secondly.
