Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 114 From Heaven to Hell

"How is this possible? The marks on the neck are so obvious, the victim definitely didn't commit suicide!"

Conan couldn't believe his ears.

[How could Lin Xuan make such a low-level mistake? ]

But Xiaolan was not interested in Yoshikawa's basis for judging that the body was suicide or homicide.

She only knew that Conan was at best her father's detective assistant, and Lin Xuan's reasoning ability was far superior to her father's, so the senior's reasoning would certainly not go wrong!

Xiaolan urged:

"We have to get ready to leave. If we leave quickly, we can catch the train back to Beihua."

The girl added:

"Don't be afraid of Officer Yamamura. It was other officers who took us to the station."

But Conan had no intention of leaving at all.

[How can you leave in disgrace when you haven't found the murderer yet? ]

He asked Xiaolan anxiously:

"Lin Xuan...where is my brother? I have something to say to him."

The police officers led by Yamamura Cao can't wait to lick Lin Xuan's ass, and they trust Lin Xuan more than Conan and Xiaolan.

Conan knew that since he couldn't produce solid evidence, the only way he could get the police officer to continue the investigation was to convince Lin Xuan first.

Although his competitive spirit prompted him to always want to defeat Lin Xuan, as a detective he could never let the criminal go.

Lin Xuan was standing on the mountain road that crossed the Toushen Forest, with the fallen Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva beside his left foot.

Looking at the elementary school student running over in a hurry, Lin Xuan certainly understood what the other party was thinking.

He said before Conan could speak:

"I know the faker definitely didn't commit suicide. He was strangled to death."

Conan was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted:

"You pretended to give up the investigation in order to lure the murderer out of his hole?"

Only then did Conan understand why Lin Xuan mentioned in front of the suspicious person that the newspaper was actually a treasure map and gave the key clue.

[Lin Xuan suspects them as much as I do, but without evidence, we cannot confirm who the murderer is]

[So he put down the bait and waited for the murderer to take the bait]

[Once all the police officers have left, the real murderer will most likely come to the designated location to dig]

Conan felt something was wrong again.

[But even if someone is caught digging, it doesn’t prove that he is the murderer]

Lin Xuan interrupted Conan's wild thoughts:

"Hasn't the murderer been exposed long ago? I even have evidence against him."

Conan had an expression of disbelief on his face.

【How can this be? 】

He had always thought that Lin Xuan was able to beat him just because he was lucky, and that their reasoning abilities were actually comparable.

After all, Conan had deduced the truth of several cases, but Lin Xuan got there first.

[But this time I was unable to identify the murderer, nor did I find any evidence, and Lin Xuan solved the case? ]

Conan was unwilling to believe it because he didn't want to admit that there was a huge gap between him and Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan smiled and said the real purpose of giving the murderer a key hint:

"The murderer committed more than one crime and got away with it for so many years. It would be too easy for him to be arrested directly."

"That's why I want to give him hope and send him to hell at the murderer's happiest moment."

"As for you, just wait till tonight and watch my performance."

Conan's mood suddenly became a little complicated.

He came to Lin Xuan with the idea that the criminal must not be allowed to go unpunished at all costs, but the other party's confident look made Conan feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

[Tsk, I don’t believe it]

[Waiting to see you make a fool of yourself at night]

After leaving Lin Xuan, Conan suddenly had an extremely risky idea.

[If Lin Xuan's reasoning ability is better than mine, maybe I can ask him for help when I meet someone from the organization in the future]

Different from the criminals in ordinary cases who would kill their enemies and witnesses at most, the members of the terrifying Black Organization, except for the scientific researchers, would kill without blinking an eye.

If Conan or Haibara's identities are exposed, the organization's killers will eliminate the two of them and their acquaintances in order to prevent future troubles.

But Conan quickly shook his head to get the thought out of his mind.

[Even if I tell him about the situation, this lecherous guy may not help me.]

[Unless there is a beautiful woman in the organization or among the people being hunted by the organization members, Lin Xuan will not let himself be involved in danger.]

[Besides, his reasoning ability may not be better than mine]

Lin Xuan and his group, as well as all the police officers who came to investigate, left in the evening, which made the murderer very excited.

Late that night, Kamiya Masao indeed came to the Toushen Forest with a shovel.

After walking eight steps east along the Ksitigarbha statue, Jinbo stopped and began to dig downwards.

In the silent forest, only the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of shoveling soil can be heard.

Legend has it that the Toushen Forest is not clean and is haunted by a large number of evil spirits, which has attracted so many people to commit suicide in the forest. Many corpses are not discovered in time and rot in the forest until only bones are left.

A timid person would not dare to approach this forest, let alone go there alone late at night.

But Jinbao didn't care, he had waited for this day for too long!

After digging for about fifteen minutes, the shovel hit something hard: three stone slabs.

Jimbo squatted down and lifted a piece of it with force, revealing a huge black suitcase underneath.

Jinbao's body was shaking wildly with excitement, his breathing was rapid and his heartbeat was accelerated, his eyes were flashing with countless excitement and joy.

【One billion yen! 】

【Finally found you guys!!】

[I no longer have to serve fools like a waiter. I can live a carefree life for the rest of my life! ! ! ]

However, at this moment, dozens of dazzling lights attacked Jimbo from four directions at the same time.

By the time Jinbao reacted, the local police had already surrounded him.

Shancuncao said according to the lines Lin Xuan taught him:

"Masao Kamiya, you are suspected of extortion and murder. Please come with us to the police station!"

Jimbo placed his hand on the outer shell of the black suitcase, which contained the money he had always dreamed of, and which would also be the capital for him to live a life of luxury and debauchery in the second half of his life.

After all, he had committed several crimes and had been acting in the hotel for four years, so Jinbao quickly adjusted his mood.

He explained himself with a look of trepidation:

"I don't know why you suspect me, but I am definitely not the murderer."

Just as Conan guessed, even if Jinbo was caught digging up the belongings that the man in red buried in the forest, it would not prove that he was the murderer.

Jinbao continued to defend himself:

"The joke I made at the inn during the day aroused my curiosity. What if there is really a treasure buried under the God Forest?"

"So I took advantage of the dead of night to try it out. As for the murder charge you mentioned, officer, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Xuan's voice sounded at this time:

"No, you are the murderer! Not only did you kill the fake Maori detective, but you also killed the long-haired man in red for five years."

"At the same time, you and the long-haired man were the culprits in a series of cases that threatened the presidents of large companies five years ago!"

Jimbo couldn't help but look in the direction where the voice came from. After just two sentences, the murderer's emotions, which had been adjusted with great effort, fell into chaos again.

[It's not surprising that I, a hotel employee, would kill a fake detective, but how did he know what happened five years ago? ]
