Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

"Toes?"

Sakaki Makoto mentioned the toes more than once, and everyone began to pay attention.

"How do we judge from the toes?"

Sakaki Makoto was about to speak when he heard Kudo Shinichi answer: "The toes of people who were strangled are usually level with the soles of the feet."

"For those who died of complete hanging, the toes will naturally droop."

"Right, Mr. Sakaki Makoto."

A young man can be taught.

Sakaki Makoto nodded with a smile: "Kudo brother is right, you can see that the soles of Takizawa Akira's feet are in a normal horizontal state, so I can conclude that he was strangled first and then hung up."

Kudo Shinichi's conclusion should also be based on this point.

It seems that the famous detective is still quite skilled.

"From this, we can know that the body of the deceased was hung up by someone."

"As for why I can conclude that it was Mr. Fukuyama who did it"

Sakaki Makoto spread his hands: "Just ask Mrs. Yoshida to ask."

"See if Mr. Fukuyama was away for a while around 5:20."

If Fukuyama Gin really hung the body up, his alibi would naturally be invalid.

Unless he has a better excuse, otherwise.

Fukuyama Gin lowered his head, and everyone couldn't see his expression.

"But why did Fukuyama fake the scene?"

Megure Jusan asked: "What's the benefit of him doing this?"

Sakaki Makoto glanced at Fukuyama Gin, and suddenly sighed: "Regarding this matter, I think it's more appropriate to let Mr. Fukuyama explain it himself."

"Fukuyama, did you really do it?" Minamoto Shigeharu asked.

Fukuyama Gin raised his head and looked at Minamoto Shigeharu.

"Manamoto"

"It was me. Mr. Sakaki Makoto's reasoning is correct."

Minamoto Shigeharu opened his eyes in disbelief.

"Why do you do this?"

"You want to help me get rid of the crime?"

Fukuyama Gin bit his lip, his eyes were complicated, and his thin body twisted a few times.

"Yes, I want to help Brother Yuan get rid of the crime!"

"Brother Yuan, do you still remember the high school student you helped at the roadside convenience store five years ago?"

"It was raining heavily that day, he was cold and huddled by the door of the convenience store, and you gave him 10,000 yen and asked him to go home."

Fukuyama Gin's voice began to tremble.

"But he said that he had severed ties with his family and had nowhere to go, so you brought him to the club."

Minaga Shigeharu opened his eyes wide. Of course he remembered this incident. The person that Fukuyama Gin mentioned was himself.

When he introduced Fukuyama Gin to the club, Fukuyama Gin was not favored because he was not handsome, but he was the top star in the store at the time, so Ishikawa Hide reluctantly agreed.

Although he could not be a gigolo and could only be a waiter, Fukuyama Gin stayed since then.

Five years have passed in a flash, and so many things have happened that he has forgotten them.

But today, at this murder scene, Fukuyama Gin actually brought it up again.

"When I saw you, Brother Yuan, kill Takizawa Akira, my mind went wild, and I just wanted to help you get away with it."

"Takizawa Akira is a scumbag! He hired someone to slash you, Brother Yuan, and I have been lurking around him for two years, just thinking that I can avenge you one day!"

Fukuyama Gin grabbed his clothes with both hands, with unspeakable sadness in his eyes.

"But the one who did it should be me, it should be me!!!"

"Brother Yuan, just wait, why. Why."

Two lines of tears flowed down.

Fukuyama Gin squatted on the ground, hugged his knees, and cried bitterly.

"So you faked the suicide scene of Takizawa Akira, intending to exonerate Minamoto Shigeharu."

Sakaki Makoto said dimly: "You even left enough evidence, that is your alibi."

"Normally, after the suspect gives his alibi, the police will check one by one, but Mrs. Yoshida left after the incident, so naturally no one will expose your alibi."

Looking at Fukuyama Gin who was crying, Sakaki Makoto didn't know what to say.

Is his idea wrong?

There is nothing wrong with repaying a favor.

But hiding the murderer is wrong.

If the police hadn't brought a detective, according to Megure Jusan's reasoning, this case would end in suicide.

Ordinary detectives would point out Fukuyama Gin as the murderer because of his confession, and Fukuyama Gin would admit it openly at that time.

But Kudo Shinichi is not an ordinary detective. He found the real murderer Minamoto Shigeharu, but he didn't catch Fukuyama Gin because Mrs. Yoshida left.

But unfortunately, he happened to be at the scene, and none of the three criminals escaped.

When profiling, Sakaki Makoto could feel Fukuyama Gin's mood when he took action.

It was a very complicated, tense, and desperate determination.

It was not just about repaying a favor.

"Asshole!"

Minamoto Shigeharu yelled and grabbed Fukuyama Gin's collar.

"Who told you to do this!"

"I helped you, not to repay a favor!"

"There is still a great life waiting for you, asshole!!!"

Looking at Minamoto Shigeharu's furious face, Fukuyama Gin actually laughed.

"Brother Minamoto, I haven't seen you angry for many years."

"Since that incident, you have become very numb, and the whole person has lost his spirit."

"Can this be considered as me saving you?"

Minamoto Shigeharu was stunned and subconsciously let go of his hand.

He had been hanging around in the club for a long time, so he naturally heard the hidden meaning of Fukuyama Gin's words.

What's going on?

Minamoto Shigeharu subconsciously covered his butt.

Something is wrong.

There is something wrong with Gin Fukuyama

He seemed to be galloping towards the direction of yandere.

Can men also be yandere?

Makoto Sakaki didn't think so.

A man's yandere is not called yandere,

but called pervert.

Especially the sponsor who likes the star, who is the pervert among perverts.

Everyone present saw the tenderness in Gin Fukuyama's eyes, and their faces turned green.

Sickened.

Only Ran Mouri pulled Shinichi Kudo's sleeve with some envy.

"Shinichi, look at them."

"What's wrong with them?"

Shinichi Kudo rolled his eyes, ignored Ran Mouri, and turned to look at Jusan Megure.

"Inspector Megure, the case can be closed."

"The evidence is conclusive, and the criminal has confessed."

Jusan Megure nodded and winked at his men, and the police immediately handcuffed Gin Fukuyama and Shigeharu Minamoto and took them to different police cars.

The case was over, and Sakaki Makoto rubbed his dizzy head tiredly.

Ishikawa Hide came over, with a serious face, and bowed deeply to Sakaki Makoto.

"Mr. Sakaki Makoto, thank you very much!"

"I doubted your ability before, but I was blind, please forgive me!"

"Don't mind, Ishikawa-san, just consider it as my return of favor."

Sakaki Makoto had no intention of collecting any reward.

Ishikawa Hide hesitated for a moment and said, "If I don't do something, I will always feel a little guilty."

"How about this, in a few days, it will be our team leader's birthday."

"Our team leader likes to watch detective series the most. If Mr. Sakaki Makoto can come to the birthday party, he will definitely be very happy!"

Is this how you express your gratitude?

Shouldn't you reduce the debt or something?

Sakaki Makoto muttered in his heart.

Ishikawa Hide seemed to see what Sakaki Makoto was thinking and smiled.

"If you can get the appreciation of our team leader, I think your debt can be written off."
