Conan: The Romantic Daily Life of a Ghost Detective

He didn't expect that his brilliant idea, which came to him on a whim, would be discovered so quickly.

Although his face remained expressionless, Nan Yunxiao was actually very flustered inside.

Because it happened so suddenly, he didn't have much time to prepare when he killed Kazami Yoshiki. In fact, Nagumo Akira initially planned to talk to Kazami Yoshiki and spend some money to settle the matter.

As for revealing his relationship with Ryūri Amashi as father and daughter to Ryūri Kazami, Akira Nagumo had considered it.

However, that would affect Yu Cheng Liuli's career, since he only recently found out he had such a daughter, and if that got out, it would be a scandal.

Those wolf-like reporters will surely exaggerate and embellish the story everywhere.

If the matter is portrayed as filthy and disgusting, it might even draw attention to Yu Cheng Liuli, who doesn't have a boyfriend yet.

However, when she first met Kazami Yoshiteru, not only was his attitude extremely bad, but he also said things like, "That woman, Amashiro Ruri, actually likes to date old men. In that case, it's okay to sleep with him a few times, right?"

Although Nagumo Akira knew that Kazami Yoshiteru had misunderstood the reason for his meeting with Riri.

However, he still couldn't tolerate anyone saying such insulting things to his daughter in front of him.

Nan Yunxiao already felt a great sense of indebtedness to Yu Cheng Liuli, feeling that he hadn't been able to take good care of her and her daughter. Now that he's older, he doesn't have as much time to take care of them anymore.

A profound sense of indebtedness arose after encountering Yoshiteru Kazami's insulting words.

It turned into intense killing intent.

It was this murderous intent that gave Nagumo Akira a flash of inspiration, leading him to devise a logically sound plan. Then, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he killed Kazami Yoshiteru.

Because there was really not much time to prepare, and the ultimatum from Kazami Yoshiteru was imminent, if he wasn't killed as soon as possible and made to expose the fact that he and Xiao Lili had secretly met, then he would have no way to explain himself.

Therefore, Nan Yunxiao's plan is bound to have some flaws.

For example, there are fingerprints that weren't cleaned up in time, cotton balls pulled from a lighter, and blood-stained tape that can't be wiped clean.

Of course, he had already hidden the things in the safest way possible.

I thought no one would discover the secret in the lighter, but the young detective found it anyway.

Fortunately, Nan Yunxiao had already wiped the fingerprints off the blade. However, because he had so little time to deal with the murder weapon, the fingerprints on the tape wrapped around the utility knife blade were not so easy to remove.

If that kid discovers how the tape was hidden.

Then he can basically go out and turn himself in.

However, Nagumo Akira was very confident in his trick, which could be considered an excellent trick even in a mystery novel.

Nan Yunxiao looked at Yu Cheng Liuli, who was holding Fei Yingli's arm in the crowd, with a complicated expression. He didn't want to be arrested by the police, but it wasn't because he didn't want to suffer in prison.

Instead, he worried that he wouldn't be able to give his daughter more love in the final moments of his life.

However, things seem to be getting a bit complicated now, and Nan Yunxiao felt uneasy.

.

The test report came out in no time.

There was indeed blood on the utility knife blade that had been broken into small pieces, but no fingerprints of the murderer were found.

Although the situation has reached a stalemate, discovering how the murderer hid the weapon is a major breakthrough. At least the bloodstains on the blade that were not completely wiped clean prove that the murderer was in a hurry at the time.

In other words, the idea of ​​the murderer hiding the murder weapon in the lighter on the victim's body was most likely a last-minute whim.

Since the murder was committed on a whim, Yu Cheng Liuli, who doesn't smoke and hates the smell of smoke, is now much less suspicious.

Although not completely cleared of suspicion.

However, the police are now clearly focusing their investigation on three other actors who have a smoking habit.

After a period of intense thinking, Wen Shui felt a little dizzy and guessed that he had low blood sugar.

So he walked over to Xiaolan and asked, "Lan, did you bring any candy with you?"

"Yes, I do." Xiaolan said, starting to rummage through the things, then quickly realized that she seemed to have left the candy she always carried with her in the car. "I'll go get it for you from the car."

Wen Shui shook her head: "No need for that. Sister Yu Xizi, do you have one on you?"

"No, I don't usually eat sweets to control my figure," Yukiko Kudo shook her head.

Wen Shui had no choice but to turn her gaze to Eri.

Actually, Conan might have some on him. After all, he's a kid, so it's normal for him to carry some candy. But Wen Shui is a little hesitant to eat Conan's candy, afraid that the kid might secretly poison it for him.

Eri Kisaki gently shook her head: "I'm sorry, I was too busy at work today, and I ate all the mints in my bag."

Wen Shui remained silent for a moment; the parking lot was still some distance away.

Just then, Yu Cheng Liuli's unique voice, sweet yet slightly husky, came from behind her: "I have some here, eat mine."

Wen Shui turned around to look, but before he could even see what the candy in front of him looked like, he was still in shock.

A fragrant breeze wafted over.

Yu Cheng Liuli directly stuffed the lemon-flavored hard candy into her warm water mouth.

Because she used her hands to insert it, her slender, fair fingers inevitably came into contact with her warm, moist lips during the process.

Xiaolan: (0)

Kudo Yukiko: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Both of them instantly showed strong dissatisfaction, sweeping their cold eyes over Wen Shui.

Standing next to Yu Cheng Liuli, Fei Yingli was somewhat surprised. She remembered that Xiao Lili seemed to dislike men.

Why did she suddenly make such an ambiguous move with Wen Shui?

After swallowing the candy, Wen Shui felt a sudden surge of energy. Besides the sugar replenishment, he was also puzzled by Yu Cheng Liuli's sudden ambiguous attitude.

However, he soon noticed the angry glare from Nan Yunxiao.

Wen Shui's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this old man and Yu Cheng Liuli really have a special relationship?

Otherwise, why would the "Mouri elimination method" be flashing wildly in my mind?

Wen Shui felt he had found the key to solving the case, and then, under the pretext of going out for some fresh air, he secretly hid to observe Nan Yunxiao's every move.

Wen Shui quickly realized that although Nan Yunxiao appeared calm on the surface...

But every minute or so, his gaze would unconsciously drift to the duct tape stuck to the floor of the filming location.

This kind of tape is used in the same way as the tape used in stage plays to help actors determine their positions. During filming, the actors will move according to the coordinates on the tape, as required by the director.

Because this villa was specifically used for filming, similar tape can be seen almost everywhere throughout the entire villa.

It's something that's really insignificant.

Wen Shui suddenly felt enlightened. If she wasn't mistaken, the thing used to wrap the utility knife blade and be used as a handle was this kind of tape.

The murderer must have scattered the tape in various corners of the villa after killing the person.

Wen Shui was about to contact Officer Yokomizo and have him have someone remove all the tape from the villa for a thorough inspection when he suddenly noticed Yu Cheng Liuli walking out of the living room.

The two bumped into each other in the hallway.

Yu Cheng Liuli walked up to Wen Shui: "Mr. Wen Shui, you've found clues that can prove the murderer, right?"

Wen Shui nodded: "Yes, did you already guess?"

“After all, that person…is close to me, and I can observe his little habits, so I guessed it quickly,” said Yu Cheng Liuli.

Wen Shui: "You came here to persuade me to pretend I don't know anything about this and let that person off the hook?"

“No, I wouldn’t make such a rude request.” Yu Cheng Liuli sighed. “We’ve only met for the first time today. It would be a waste to make you go against your principles as a detective for my sake.”

Wen Shui thought he didn't have much of a detective's mentality.

However, the rewards given by the system are quite important, and he and Yu Cheng Liuli were just casual acquaintances. If she had killed someone, Wen Shui might have considered pretending not to see it out of respect for Fei Yingli and Uncle Mouri, who were old classmates.

But since the murderer was the other party's lover, Wen Shui felt there was no need to do such a thing.

Wen Shui looked at her curiously: "Then what brings you here?"

"I was thinking, could we give him a chance to turn himself in? I'll personally persuade him to do so." Yu Cheng Liuli's face showed a pleading expression.

Although Wen Shui didn't understand why someone with such good qualities would choose an old man like Nan Yunxiao who was about to die, he was, after all, Uncle Mori's old classmate.

Even for Xiaolan's sake, I still have to help her with this little favor.

Wen Shui smiled and said, "Of course you can, but the moment the murderer is exposed, they often lose control of their emotions. You have to be careful that they don't take you hostage."

"Don't worry, he won't." Yu Cheng Liuli said with great certainty.

Wen Shui watched her walk back to her room, first saying something to Officer Yokomizo, and then pulling Nan Yunxiao into the next room.

Ten minutes later.

When the two returned to the living room, Nan Yunxiao's expression no longer showed the tension and worry he had before; he seemed to have a sense of relief.

Nan Yunxiao walked directly up to Inspector Yokomizo: "Officer, I killed him. There are fingerprints stained with the victim's blood in the tape stuck to the floor..."

Nan Yunxiao readily admitted to his crime.

This sudden situation caught most of the people present off guard.

During his confession, Wen Shui learned an unexpected piece of news: Nan Yunxiao was actually Yu Cheng Liuli's biological father!

When Yu Cheng Liu Li's mother was young, she was in love with Nan Yun Xiao. They broke up because of different career choices. However, Yu Cheng Liu Li's mother later found out that she was pregnant. She did not choose to abort the child, but raised it on her own.

Not long ago, Nan Yunxiao learned by chance that Yu Cheng Liuli was actually his biological daughter.

The reason the two met secretly was that Nan Yunxiao wanted to make up for the lack of fatherly love he owed his daughter.

As a result, he accidentally bumped into Kazami Yoshiteru and mistakenly thought that the two were lovers. This misunderstanding, due to Kazami Yoshiteru's bad personality, turned into a murder case.

Wen Shui was speechless for a moment.

I thought to myself, "You should have said so sooner! He's Uncle Mori's old classmate, and that murderer isn't a good person either."

The Metropolitan Police Department didn't have many thoughts on this. For them, finding the murderer was a good thing. After confirming that the fingerprints matched, Nan Yunxiao was handcuffed and taken to the police car in front of the villa.

Nan Yunxiao suddenly stopped in her tracks as she passed by Wen Shui.

He looked at Wen Shui with a solemn expression: "Mr. Wen Shui, I'm entrusting Liu Li to you from now on. Please take good care of her."

Warm water: ?

Yu Cheng Liuli winked at him secretly, pleading with him to grant her request.

Wen Shui then realized why she had suddenly fed him candy in such an ambiguous way—it was to avoid worrying her father, so she said she had someone she liked.
