"That's right...I killed the person..."
Shukawa Toshiko slowly exhaled and admitted the fact that she was the murderer.
Such a confessional attitude shocked Sera for several seconds before she came back to her senses.
Because she didn't hear the clues Ye Gengyi listed before.
In my impression, I and Toshiko Shokawa arrived at the 6th floor of the annex from the parking lot one after another. In fact, the difference was only the time of taking the elevator.
As a result, words such as torture to extract confessions, beatings into submission, etc. subconsciously popped up in Sera Masaki's mind...
Actually threatening your family?
So...are these the only ones doing this, or are most of the police in the Metropolitan Police Department doing this?
Instilled by Ye Gengyi's preconceived impression, Sera Masaki automatically imagined a drama called "The Darkness of the Metropolitan Police Department".
"Hey, please wait a moment! Is this case really investigated?"
From planning to leave the Aipido Hotel after hearing that the guest rooms were full, to preparing to take the opportunity to test Edogawa Conan after a murder occurred, Sera's pure thoughts at this time also successfully transitioned to the need to investigate the unjust, false and wrong case.
Um? Is it possible that the word 'competition' is engraved in every detective's genes...
Ye Gengyi came over and asked:
"Do you have any opinion?"
"I just want to know the truth."
Shiliang Zhenchun stopped in front of Ye Gengyi: "Otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible if we later find out that we got the wrong person?"
As she said this, she did not forget to turn her head and wink at a certain detective boy.
Conan: "???"
Eh? What the hell is this guy doing? What if I am misunderstood by Brother Gengyi?
See this scene.
Ye Gengyi briefly analyzed the hidden meaning in these words and vaguely made some guesses, but on the surface he still said calmly:
"Got it. Make way."
"ah?"
Sera Majun was startled...now that she knew, shouldn't she say something? Make way for yourself…
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand? To put it simply, keep your opinions and then give way." Ye Gengyi's tone was as calm as ever, but there was a sudden coldness in his eyes as he looked over.
This person wants to take action! ?
Shiliang Zhenzhun felt a chill all over his body, and his face showed a look of surprise and solemnity that could not be concealed.
Instinctive reactions are faster than conscious awareness.
She took half a step back and quickly assumed an attack stance.
As a result, Ye Gengyi took a step forward diagonally, as if to avoid the other party. However, in Shiliang's pure senses, the gap between the two was further compressed.
It's going to happen!
Such thoughts suddenly came to Sera Masumi's mind, and she knew that no matter her height or body shape, she would not have an advantage at the same distance.
If the opponent takes the opportunity to strike with an elbow, he will have no room to dodge.
While thoughts flashed through.
Here, Ye Gengyi also raised his arm forward neatly.
Sera Masumi could only retreat again, but her back hit the elevator door directly.
Defense and evasion are useless.
There seemed to be only one choice left before her.
Time no longer allowed Sera to think clearly.
She made a quick decision.
Place your body's center of gravity on the supporting leg, make a fist with one hand on your waist, tighten your abdominal core muscles, and drive your shoulders and arms to exert force diagonally upward by rotating your waist.
Uppercut!
It can be said that in close combat where conventional strikes are not possible, it is the most effective and least likely to be countered by the opponent.
The reaction is quick, the momentum is strong, and the punches are fierce.
Whenever he can land such an uppercut, Masumi Sera will be satisfied with the situation at that time.
But at this moment, there was only a hint of astonishment in her eyes.
Ye Gengyi's forward movement was almost synchronized with her retreat movement, so that after Sera Masumi was shocked by that look, her hasty reaction could be called excellent.
However, the unexpected change was that...the raised arm was not intended to perform an elbow strike, but simply to press the control button next to the elevator.
boom!
Sera Masumi was dumbfounded.
The people in the room behind him also looked confused.
Ye Gengyi swayed like this for a few times, then slowly fell down against the wall on the side of the elevator door.
"Mr. Ye!"
"Brother Gengyi!"
"Expert Ye!"
With a shout, a group of detectives quickly surrounded him.
Ding dong——
Just in time, the elevator reached the floor. Sera Masumi, who was clinging to the elevator door, lost her center of gravity and staggered back into the car.
Ye Geng stretched out his hand and pointed in a weak voice: "Stop him...he wants to run away..."
Eh? ? ?
I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
Sera Masumi, who had just stood firm, was completely confused.
…
Cupido Hotel, outside the main entrance.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, who were guarding here because of fear of ghosts, soon saw two criminal policemen from the First Investigation Section escorting Shukawa Toshiko out, one on the left and the other on the right.
"So she is the murderer..." Suzuki Sonoko whispered.
She had seen similar scenes several times, but she wasn't too surprised.
Mao Lilan continued to look into the door, and after a while she let out a soft 'Eh' sound.
Immediately afterwards, Takagi Wataru and Chiba Kazunobu escorted Sera Masumi out as usual.
"this……"
Suzuki Sonoko was surprised: "No way, this handsome guy is also a murderer?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Mu Shisan helped Ye Gengyi out.
Mao Lilan: "???"
Suzuki Sonoko: "???"
The two girls looked at each other and ran over quickly.
"Brother Gengyi, what's going on?"
"Brother Gengyi was attacked by that person." Mumu Shisan looked serious.
"This is a misunderstanding!" Hearing this, Sera Masumi turned around and shouted.
Something's wrong!
Something is wrong!
She clenched her fists, and it was only then that she felt a tingling sensation in the upper knuckles of her fingers.
You have to know that I was using an uppercut instead of an arrow.
Even if the opponent's bones are relatively hard, you should still feel pain in the back, top of your fist, or lower knuckles!
"Police Department, take the suspect back first."
Ye Gengyi let go of the 'Mu Mu crutches' and lowered his voice and said: "Don't affect the investigation."
"Uh...then...okay."
Thinking of the important tasks of his trip, Mumu Shisan scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Brother Gengyi, I asked you to come over to solve the case. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
"Don't worry about the police department."
Ye Gengyi said: "It may also be because I didn't sleep last night. I will go back and rest for a while. If there is nothing serious, I will go to the Metropolitan Police Department later."
"Of course it's no problem, let's do it this way, bro, I'll ask Takagi to take you back."
With that said, Mumu Shisan directly called a police officer to temporarily perform the escort task for Takagi Wataru.
