Chapter 192 Death, a Complete Victory!
Conan's current fighting skills are such that he can't beat Amuro Tooru without using ninjutsu, and this stuntwoman is clearly no match for Conan.
After being discovered by everyone, Yoshino Satomi, disguised as the Grim Reaper, performed a backflip and was about to disappear into the woods to change her disguise and carry out her plan to exonerate herself, but she was blocked by two figures, one tall and one short.
Running back, there was still Akutagawa Hiko watching intently, and staff members on both sides. It was clear that Yoshino Satomi was the weakest point, so he rushed towards the assistant who had first seen her.
Seeing the Grim Reaper rushing towards them, the assistant, who instinctively joined the others in intercepting him, was so frightened that he covered his head and crouched down in defense when he realized that he was the only one facing the menacing "murderer."
Yoshino Satomi was overjoyed; it seemed there was still hope for the plan to be implemented.
Unexpectedly, the cape she was wearing, which was only for showing off and was far less practical than Kid's, was grabbed and she was thrown into the air.
To her surprise, not only did she not suffer the fracture she had expected, but she didn't even feel much pain when she fell onto the grass.
Akutagawa Hiko, using what was readily available—a well-made, high-quality cloak—wrapped the person in it and directly removed the mask from the Shinigami Formation: "Ms. Yoshino, so this was all a scheme you two orchestrated, wasn't it?"
Satomi Yoshino was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized what she meant.
Yeah, the excuse she originally used to fool that scumbag Nanjo Hayato was just to carry out a rather impressive publicity campaign.
Although it's clear that the key part of the plan—blaming Nanjo Shuto's death on the fabricated Death God Formation—is impossible to achieve, there's still some room for maneuver; they shouldn't have to confess right now.
Satomi Yoshino, a former actress, quickly regained her composure, her smile tinged with bitterness as she said, "You still found out, but please don't spread it around."
Amuro Tooru was shocked when he saw Akutagawa Hiko swinging people like a flail. Although he knew that the man was not bad in terms of fighting skills and that there were records of him taking down criminals, he was surprised that he was so strong.
Moreover, the way it looked like it was going to kill someone didn't seem to cause any harm at all, which showed remarkable control.
Conan knew that Akutagawa Hiko was sensible, so he wasn't worried about Yoshino Satomi's safety. However, he felt a little uneasy, as if things weren't over yet.
I hope this is just my imagination...
Mrs. Nanjo was much relieved. Ms. Yoshino had been very responsible since becoming Nanjo Shuto's manager. Although this matter would damage Nanjo Hayato's reputation if it got out, it was better than someone actually watching his life.
As they were talking, everyone heard a gunshot. Akutagawa Hiko looked at Yoshino Satomi with a serious expression: "Was this part of your plan?"
Conan and Amuro Toru both knew perfectly well that even if a shooting element was added, it was impossible for it to appear before the other main character, Yoshino Satomi, had even appeared.
The group went downstairs. The light from Nanjo Hayato's office on the seventh floor shone through the window, casting a dark shadow. Judging from the figure, it was clearly not Nanjo Shuto. Coupled with the clear gunshot, Nanjo Hayato was probably in grave danger.
Mrs. Nanjo and her manager rushed to the elevator in a panic, while Akutagawa and his two companions stared at the dark figure for a while. "It doesn't feel like a human shadow."
Akutagawa Hiko's words were agreed upon by the two people, one tall and one short. According to the layout of the room's lights, such a shadow should not be cast on the window, and the way it disappeared did not look like a person leaving.
When a family member leaves, they disappear layer by layer from above!
The elevator arrived late, but the three of them managed to catch it and quickly reached the seventh floor. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Mrs. Nanjo tripped over the electrical tape on the ground and was caught by Yoshino Satomi.
Upon seeing the body of Nanjo Shigeto, who had been shot dead, Mrs. Nanjo was devastated. She covered her face and wept, eventually throwing herself into the arms of her most familiar friend, Yoshino Satomi, and sobbing uncontrollably.
As long as someone dies, someone will grieve, but it's impossible for her to give up revenge.
Three years of enduring humiliation and hardship to investigate the truth, wasn't it all for this moment?
With Ran Mouri not around, Hiko Akutagawa had to call the police himself. Inspector Megure, who was forced to work overtime, arrived quickly. Since Tooru Amuro had completed the autopsy ahead of time, the suspect had already been identified.
However, Akutagawa Hiko had a simpler method for determining the time of death.
Akutagawa Hiko walked to the fax machine and picked up the stack of interview transcripts: "Inspector Megure, we have confirmed the exact time of the victim's death. Everything we saw was a disguise by the murderer. Mr. Nanjo was already dead before that gunshot."
"What?!"
Even Inspector Megure was shocked by Akutagawa Hiko's efficiency at this moment, while Amuro Tooru, recalling how painstakingly he had examined the body earlier, suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of evil cultivators.
No, the device can talk. Only by mastering this technology can one better deal with all sorts of fancy scenarios.
After reshaping his Dao heart, Amuro Tooru also wanted to see how Akutagawa Hiko had determined it.
Without further ado, Akutagawa picked up the blood-stained fax: "Look, only this one has Mr. Nanjo's bloodstains. 9:59, before we heard that gunshot—"
As they were talking, another gunshot rang out. The staff immediately dropped to the ground, and Inspector Megure's broad figure shielded Akutagawa Hikaru. Several other officers also quickly protected the others.
To be honest, I felt quite safe when I was being protected.
Akutagawa Hiko remained calm: "The sound came from the sixth floor."
Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure and several officers cautiously took the lead, opening the door to the sixth-floor apartment with a highly professional demeanor.
Akutagawa Hiko strolled over to the radio that was playing music, as if he were wandering around his own backyard: "It seems the two gunshots we heard were from this radio that automatically plays and replays."
Press play, and as the tape reverses, a gunshot suddenly rings out shortly afterward.
Immediately afterwards, Akutagawa Hiko walked to the elevator, stopped it at the elevator entrance, put on gloves and groped around for a while, and unsurprisingly found a ball of fishing line.
"I guessed right, the killer's smokescreen has now been completely exposed."
Looking at Yoshino Satomi, whose expression was complex and whose lips were trembling slightly, Akutagawa Hiko slowly said, "Ms. Yoshino, is there anything else you want to say?"
Yoshino Satomi knew this was probably just a bluff, but the thought of the other person's reputation and the evidence she hadn't had time to deal with made her collapse helplessly to the ground.
