"You must be Chen Mo?" Sato Miwako's gaze was quickly drawn to Chen Mo, and she immediately stepped forward to greet him. For some reason, she always wanted to look at him a few more times.

"Where's Inspector Megure?" Chen Mo asked, somewhat surprised, but still quite satisfied with the arrangement, especially compared to facing Inspector Megure.

He naturally preferred to be with a beautiful woman like Miwako Sato.

"He had some things to take care of, so he sent me over. I heard there was a murder?" Sato Miwako asked.

Chen Mo turned his head to look into the room. "Well, see for yourself."

Sato Miwako turned her head and looked into the room. Her brows furrowed, and she turned back to instruct the police officers she had brought, "Come in quickly and collect evidence."

She crossed her arms and looked at the scene before her. "You three are the first witnesses, right?"

Chen Mo nodded, "Yes, Ms. Yoko originally entrusted me to deal with the stalker issue, but I didn't expect to find someone dead here as soon as I arrived to investigate."

"It's so hot!"

Miwako Sato wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Then he glanced at the air conditioner and said, "Are you setting the temperature this high? This feels like being in a sauna."

Yoko Okino quickly shook her head, "I remember turning it off when I left."

"How strange, who turned on the air conditioner?" Sato Miwako fell into deep thought.

Chen Mo glanced inside and noticed most of the suspicious points.

The case is also very simple; the deceased, Fujie Akiyoshi, committed suicide.

“So this counts as a locked-room murder.” Sato Miwako looked at Okino Yoko. “The normal deduction would be that the murderer is the owner of the room.”

“I…it wasn’t me! Why would I kill him?” Yoko Okino shook her head frantically.

"Do you have a spare key to your house?" Miwako Sato asked immediately.

Yamagishi hesitated for a moment, "I... I have a backup key! But I lost it a couple of days ago."

"Are you sure?" Sato Miwako stared at him and questioned him.

“Yes! In the television company’s lounge!” Yamagishi Sakae replied.

"That's strange." Sato Miwako fell into thought.

"Sir! We've found something here!" Soon, an officer took an earring from under the sofa, put it in a bag, and handed it over.

Sato Miwako picked it up and glanced at it, then looked at Okino Yoko, "Your earring?"

Yoko Okino looked at it carefully for a moment, and then she recognized it. "This belongs to Miss Yuko."

"Yuko?" Sato Miwako asked, somewhat puzzled. "Who is she?"

“She is Ms. Yuko Ikezawa, who debuted at the same time as me,” Yoko Okino explained.

Standing to the side, Yamagishi said, "So, she's holding a grudge because the female lead in the drama was changed to Yoko, and she's trying to frame her."

After thinking for a moment, Sato Miwako looked at the police officer next to her and said, "Let's bring him over and make him a key figure."

Chen Mo was eager to solve the case, after all, Ikezawa Yuko was a beautiful woman, and he naturally couldn't miss her.

He looked at Yoko Okino, who had a worried expression, and stepped forward with a smile, "Yoko, don't worry! I already know who the murderer is."

"Really?" Yoko Okino looked at Chen Mo with surprise. "Who is it?"

Chen Mo looked at Fujie Akiyoshi, who was lying on the ground, and asked, "You really don't recognize him?"

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Yoko Okino's expression changed slightly, and she finally sighed, "He was my classmate before, and he had been pursuing me all along, but I rejected him. However, he never gave up until I became a singer, and with Mr. Yamagishi's help, he finally gave up completely!"

Chen Mo nodded slightly, knowing that the settings here had been changed.

Yoko Okino has never been in a relationship.

Soon, Yuko Ikezawa arrived here.

She had long, wavy hair, wore a purple slip dress underneath, and a polka-dot coat over it. Her long, slender legs were clad in black suede, giving her a very powerful presence.

"Are you kidding me? A murder that happened in Yoko's room should be suspected of being committed by Yoko, not me." Yuko Ikezawa said irritably.

"Then why are your earrings here?" Sato Miwako asked.

Yuko Ikezawa smiled. "So what? Are you going to judge me based on just an earring?"

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the bathroom, saying, "I'm going to the restroom first."

Chen Mo grinned and followed him directly into the restroom.

"what are you doing!"

Yuko Ikezawa heard the noise, turned around, and saw Chen Mo come in, which startled her.

"Nothing! I just came to chat with you." Chen Mo smiled at Ikezawa Yuko.

"I don't have time." Yuko Ikezawa crossed her arms, outwardly refusing but inwardly still somewhat expectant.

[He's so handsome! Could he be Yoko's boyfriend?]

If I win over her boyfriend, wouldn't that prove I'm better than her?

Chen Mo stared at Ikezawa Yuko in front of him. "This isn't your first time here, is it? Otherwise, how did you find the restroom so quickly?"

Yuko Ikezawa quickly explained, "I, I just happened to see it."

"Really? I see you're very skilled! I think the backup that Yamagishi Ei lost might be on you."

Chen Mo approached Ikezawa Yuko and spoke slowly.

"I..." Yuko Ikezawa looked at Chen Mo with some fear. She didn't expect him to have such strong judgment. They had only just met, but it seemed like he was following her.

"If I tell the police this, what do you think will happen?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Yuko Ikezawa's expression changed. "No, don't tell anyone!"

She knew that once this news got out, she would definitely be arrested as a suspect.

Chen Mo gave Ikezawa Yuko a quick look up and down, and had to admit that she did have a great figure.

"Then you should know what to do, right?" Chen Mo smiled at Ikezawa Yuko. He came along partly to give her a warning, and partly to collect some interest.

With so many people outside, he'll definitely aim for a quick victory.

Yuko Ikezawa nodded slightly, as if she had made a significant decision.

She took off her coat and then turned her back to Chen Mo.

"You, you'd better hurry up later."

Chen Mo looked at Ikezawa Yuko in front of him and said, "Do you think it's appropriate for the two of us to sit here? Besides, there's not enough time."

Yuko Ikezawa nodded slightly and glanced towards the door.

She didn't know why, but she felt a little empty inside.

"Do me a favor, and this matter will be over for now."

Chen Mo smiled and looked at Ikezawa Yuko in front of him, "I don't think you want to go to prison, right? That would be the end of your entire career."

"What help is it! As long as I can do it," Yuko Ikezawa asked quickly.

“It’s simple!” Chen Mo smiled and looked at Ikezawa Yuko in front of him. “See my flashlight? It needs to be repaired now.”

Yuko Ikezawa subconsciously looked down.

A look of surprise crossed her face. She hadn't noticed before, but now that she could see it through her pants, it was absolutely horrifying!

"If you're ready, then you can begin," Chen Mo said with a smile to Ikezawa Yuko.

Yuko Ikezawa took a deep breath, took a hair tie from her pocket, and tied her hair up.

It's still possible to distinguish which aspect is more important than the other.

Chen Mo smiled. It seemed that Ikezawa Yuko was a sensible person after all.

He is indeed a novice.

But it doesn't matter.

He has plenty of ways to help her improve her skills, for example...

Chapter 11: Yuko Ikezawa: Yoko, come with me! It'll be more convenient!

"Does this knife belong to you?"

Miwako Sato glanced at the dagger on Akira Fujie's back.

She looked at Yoko Okino and asked.

"Yes! Yes!" Yoko Okino nodded quickly.

Yamagishi Sakae looked at Sato Miwako, "Do you suspect Yoko? She's usually too afraid to even kill a fish."

"Do you know this deceased person?" Miwako Sato continued to ask.

"Sorry, I need to get closer to see."

Yamagishi Sakae answered from the side, then walked forward.

He suddenly and deliberately slipped and fell, picking up a lock of hair next to Fujie Akiyoshi.

"I'm sorry! I, I didn't mean to." Yamagishi Sakae quickly stood up.

"Have you actually seen them?" Sato Miwako asked, frowning.

"No, of course not!" Yamagishi Sakae quickly shook his head.

"Mr. Yamagishi! There's no need to hide some things." Chen Mo came out of the restroom and casually threw the crumpled paper into the trash can.

Yoko Okino blinked curiously beside her.

[If I remember correctly, Yuko went to the restroom too! How come Chen Mo came out of there?]

"What, what are you saying!" Yamagishi Sakae looked at Chen Mo in a panic.

"You know the deceased, right?" Chen Mo said with a smile as he stepped forward.

Sato Miwako looked at Yamagishi Sakae with a serious expression, "What exactly happened? I hope you will cooperate with the investigation!"

Yamagishi's expression changed, and he lowered his head. "I... I was just warning him on behalf of Miss Yoko that he has already affected Miss Yoko's normal life."

Sato Miwako stared at Yamagishi Sakae and demanded, "Are you sure? Where did you go during this time last night?"

“I took Ms. Yoko to dinner, and then I rested in the parking lot,” Yamagishi Ei quickly replied. “There are security cameras there to prove it.”

Sato Miwako frowned and walked towards the restroom. "If you all have alibis, then Ms. Yuko is currently the prime suspect. Why did she spend so long in the restroom?"

She opened the door and noticed that Yuko Ikezawa was standing in front of the sink, touching up her makeup with lipstick.

"What are you doing?" Yuko Ikezawa turned her head away, annoyed.

"Come out and cooperate with the investigation." Sato Miwako, realizing there was no escape, closed the door again.

Yuko Ikezawa put down her lipstick and waved in the mirror to make sure there were no crystals on her face.

"Phew! This guy! He's really..."

The scene from earlier flashed through her mind.

She touched her cheek.

It still hurts a little here.

I thought it would be fine after a little while,

Who knew this thing could get stuck in the throat?

She almost suffocated.

"But it tastes really good, I want more..."
