Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

“…” Noriko Ayashiro stood in the corridor, looking displeased, then passed by Jun Omura’s room and walked to the door of Kazushi Nakamichi’s room.

dong dong dong-

The door opened quickly.

"Hezhi..."

Before Noriko Ayashiro could say anything more, the disheveled yukata she was wearing caused Kazushi Nakamichi to break into a wicked smile.

The door closed quickly.

Kazushi Nakamichi: "At the last gathering, Noriko, you said that Yukio wasn't good enough, so why did you still marry him?"

Noriko Ayashiro: "There was nothing I could do. It was already there then, and I didn't have time to find someone else..."

Kazushi Nakamichi: "No wonder you said it was a safe period last time, so it didn't matter..."

Listening to the conversation transmitted through the bugging device.

Chu Zhong:......

It seems that this isn't the first time Ayashiro Noriko has cheated on her husband; she's quite adept at it.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ayashiro Yukio was quietly bragging to Omura Jun about how many female colleagues he had hooked up with at the company.

In a sense, this couple is a match made in heaven.

Atsushi Ōmura: "Yukio, since you don't lack women, why do you still..."

Ayashiro Yukio: "Yumi is my first love, how can that be the same? And after all these years, her figure is still so good..."

"If I weren't already married and had a son, would I have given you such a good opportunity?"

Omura Jun: "..."

Ayashiro Yukio: "So it turns out they booked a room on the third floor directly above Yumi, and even brought a rope ladder so they could enter through the window."

"I knew it! If Yumi had locked it in, how could you, Omura, possibly..."

Ayashiro Yukio, who was speaking, stopped abruptly, followed by a soft thud as someone fell to the ground.

"Yumi is mine!"

Jun Omura snorted coldly.

They must have knocked him unconscious...

Chu Zhong, who was eavesdropping, heard the noise and began to speculate.

Then they heard Atsushi Ōmura climbing down from the third-floor window, and then...

Snapped--

The lights in Horikoshi Yumi's room came on.

"Mr. Ōmura, what do you mean by this?!"

Yuanzi asked in a cold voice.

"You, you all... I..." Jun Omura stammered in panic.

"Ah—!!!" Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan screamed loudly as instructed.

Soon, Chu Zhong, who had 'heard' the commotion, rushed to the room.

Needless to say, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan and Yuanzi were specially arranged by Chu Zhong to guard the room.

After all, in the original case, Horikoshi Yumi was the victim, and it was a case of waiting for the victim to come to her.

Unexpectedly, it was the lustful Jun Omura who took the bait.

Kogoro and Conan arrived shortly after.

"I... I was worried that Yumi was too drunk and might be in danger lying down, so I wanted to come and check on her..."

At this point, Jun Omura had already come up with an excuse: "Since there was no response when I knocked, I..."

The reason, though somewhat far-fetched, is not entirely unreasonable; when one is too drunk, there is indeed a risk of choking on vomit.

Chu Zhong waved his hand, signaling Omura Jun to leave, too lazy to bother with this lust-obsessed guy.

The reason given by Jun Omura, "Catching someone in the act must be done in bed," is barely plausible, and since there was no opportunity to take action, there's naturally nothing to pursue.

Seeing Chu Zhong's reaction, Kogoro, who was also Chu Zhong's teammate, didn't say much.

“Since Miss Ran is here to help take care of things, I’ll head back to my room now…” Jun Omura left awkwardly.

"What happened?"

It was only then that Kazushi Nakamichi and Noriko Ayashiro rushed over and bumped into Jun Omura at the door.

"It's nothing, just a little misunderstanding..." Jun Omura mumbled, then fled back to his room.

But Noriko Ayashiro grabbed her hand and interrogated her accusingly, "What is it? Tell me!"

Chu Zhong shook his head inwardly.

Noriko Ayashiro clearly saw her husband and Jun Omura together just now. Even if she couldn't hear their conversation, she must have guessed most of what was going on.

Judging from the way things are now, they probably don't intend to let this go.

"What are you worried about, Yumi? I think you're up to no good!"

Noriko Ayashiro, hands on her hips, yelled, "Where's my husband? Is he with you too? Yukio Ayashiro! Get out here!"

Having his thoughts exposed so ruthlessly in public, Jun Omura was so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear. He quickly led the way to the third floor, where they found Yukio Ayashiro, who was unconscious.

"You heartless bastard! I even bore you a son! And this is how you treat me?!"

Noriko Ayashiro punched and hit Yukio Ayashiro, crying and making a scene, looking incredibly pitiful.

As for whether the son was his biological child... Chu Zhong left a question mark in his mind.

"Alright, alright, Noriko, calm down..."

"Xingxiong was just drunk, that's why..."

Kazushi Nakamichi began to play the role of peacemaker, pulling Noriko Ayashiro away.

Kogoro helped Ayashiro Yukio up from the ground, but his expression changed: "What... no heartbeat?"

"..."

The room suddenly fell silent.

Chu Zhong was also taken aback.

Soon, after Kogoro and Conan examined him, they confirmed that Ayashiro Yukio had stopped jumping and was dead.

The cause of death was that when Jun Omura knocked out Yukio Ayashiro, he used too much force and slashed the carotid sinus with his hand, causing sudden respiratory arrest.

"I...I didn't mean to..."

Jun Omura was so panicked that he collapsed to the ground, saying, "I didn't mean to kill him... really..."

Accidental homicide.

Chu Zhong looked depressed.

Unexpectedly, this chubby, seemingly harmless Jun Omura was the hidden perpetrator.

Someone died, so the dungeon rating is definitely not going to be good...

However, the dungeon is not over yet.

Kogoro and the others took out their phones to call the police, but there was no signal, and the hotel staff were nowhere to be found.

So they began to preserve the crime scene, planning to call the police at dawn.

As for Jun Omura, who accidentally committed the murder, he was completely disoriented and was placed under house arrest in his room, guarded by Kazuo Nakamichi and Kogoro Nakamichi throughout the night.

"If you die, what will become of us, a widow and her orphans..."

Ayashiro Noriko, who had just thrown a tantrum, was now crying her eyes out, worrying about her future livelihood. While crying, she kept glancing at Nakamichi and Shi out of the corner of her eye.

Just moments ago, Nakamichi Kazushi was in the room praising how wonderful Ayashiro Noriko was, but now he doesn't even glance at her.

It was all just for fun and a bit of fun; did they really think everyone would be foolish enough to take the fall?

Chu Zhong saw this and chuckled inwardly.

Then he turned around and went downstairs.

And while we were at it, we caught a Conan.

"What are you doing, kid, booking a new room?"

Chu Zhong realized while eavesdropping that Conan shouldn't be in Kogoro's room, otherwise Noriko Ayashiro wouldn't have seduced Kogoro like that.

Seeing that Conan was going back to his own room to sleep, he immediately suspected that Conan had noticed something.

"The uncle's snoring is too loud..."

Conan explained with a helpless expression that he was too embarrassed to talk about the experience of being knocked unconscious and having his yukata pulled off.

Then, Conan asked in return, "Brother Chu, do you really think Mr. Ayashiro died in an accident?"

Here we go again, Conan's classic suspicion that suicide was murder.

Chu Zhong ignored him, rolled his eyes, and went straight back to his room.

After turning off the lights, I didn't go to sleep; I just waited quietly.

Nighttime is when it's easiest to let your guard down.

Since the instance hasn't ended yet, it proves that the matter of the 'perpetrator' is not over.

Mission Objective: Defeat the hidden perpetrator.

Are you suggesting we beat up Jun Omura?

The problem is, Atsushi Ōmura didn't even show his health bar...

Chu Zhong always felt that something was amiss.

after an hour,

When Chu Zhong started to doze off.

Finally, they overheard an important conversation:

"He...Zhi...why..."

It was Kogoro's voice, a few simple words, but they sounded very strained, as if he were forcing them out.

"Why?" Nakamichi Kazushi sneered, "I'd like to ask you, Kogoro, why is it that you, with such great talent, dragged us down in that team competition, preventing us from making it to the national tournament?!"

"How did he manage to marry such a beautiful lawyer?"

"Why is my daughter so beautiful and sensible?"

"Why is this good-for-nothing, spineless detective suddenly becoming famous?!"

Nakamichi said resentfully, "Kogoro! Why do you get to live so well?!"

"Yet I can only rank second in the judo club, nobody pays attention to me, and I've been used as a backup by Yumi for so many years?!"

Chapter 162 Overwhelming Strength, Judo Insights

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Chu Zhong rushed to the third floor.

Outside the room where Ōmura Jun was being held captive, Nakamichi Kazushi had Kogoro pinned to the floor, his knee pressed against his lower back, and his thick arms locked tightly around his throat.

"Damn..."

Seeing Chu Zhong rushing up, Nakamichi Kazushi, whose crime had been discovered, became even more vicious in his eyes and suddenly exerted force in his hand.

Kogoro, who was already struggling to breathe and whose eyes were rolling back, now had his eyeballs almost popping out of his head from the constriction.

Chu Zhong also noticed that blood bars appeared on Zhongdao and Zhi's heads.
