Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 126 Conan, Heiji vs. Lin Xuan

"What? Me?"

The maid's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

[Can these little tricks still not hide from the detective's eyes? ]

But she still said:

"I don't understand, are you kidding me?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head:

"I'm sorry, but I don't take such serious matters lightly."

"Auntie, you told us that Mr. Kudo's back injury was serious, is that right?"

The maid took a deep breath and tried to calm down:

"That's the truth. If it weren't for the back pain torturing Mr. Kudo, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing."

Conan also followed suit, he came to the bookshelf and pointed at the empty space below:

"Oh, that's weird. The window is very high and uncle needs to move something to stand on when he wants to stick the tape on it."

"But why don't you take the books from the middle and upper shelves? You have to bend down constantly to move books from the lower shelves."

Several detectives approached the maid tacitly, but of course they could not arrest her directly.

But doing so can exert pressure, and prisoners with poor psychological quality will often explode directly.

Sure enough, the maid's body began to tremble slightly, but she still defended herself:

"I don't know what Mr. Kudo thinks, but..."

Conan ran to the charcoal stove again, and just as he was about to hug the stove, Megure picked him up.

Xiaolan blamed:

"Conan, stop making trouble."

The primary school student said in a wronged voice:

"I just want to compare my size with the coal stove. The doctor said that harmful gases can only kill people when they reach a certain concentration."

"This furnace is not even as big as me, and the poisonous gas it produces can kill the client's uncle. It's really terrible!"

This sentence woke Megure up.

[The study is very large, and the incomplete combustion of coal in the small stove produces limited carbon monoxide]

[The room is so spacious that it is difficult to commit suicide by burning charcoal using a small coal stove]

Now even the police captain couldn't help but look at the maid with suspicion.

The fat woman became even more frightened.

[How could this happen? That person clearly said that we can get away with it as long as we follow his instructions! ]

[But the police and detectives all suspect that I am the murderer]

The maid had no choice but to use the trump card promised by the real murderer. She looked at Hattori Heiji and asked nervously:

"Didn't you say that the study door and windows were sealed with tape from the inside?"

"The only person who can do this is Mr. Kudo, who is in the room, because the study only has two exits: the door and the window."

[That person said that as long as I bring out the tape secret room, I won’t be suspected]

Detective Guan Xi showed a smug smile on his face. He was about to continue to show off, but Lin Xuan, who had been silent for a while, took the lead:

"In fact, you didn't just come back from shopping, but you were hiding in the angle between the door and the bookshelf with the vegetables and meat you had prepared long ago!"

"In fact, there is no poisonous gas in the room at all. It is certainly okay to stay in the study for a long time."

"It was you who put dense tape on the door and windows, and it was you who set the alarm to lure the detective to the study."

Following Lin Xuan's explanation, the last trace of blood on the fat lady's face completely disappeared.

"Once they break open the door and find that the scene is very similar to the scene of charcoal burning suicide, they will focus all their attention on opening the windows for ventilation and throwing the coal stove out of the room."

"All you have to do is wait for the right opportunity to go from the door to the corridor and pretend to have just come back from shopping, and you can create the tape-locked room in this case!"

The maid showed an expression of despair on her face, which was tantamount to admitting that Lin Xuan's reasoning was correct.

Hearing that his opponent had cracked the tape secret room with just a few words, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

[Sure enough, he also saw through the secret room]

[Luckily, I took the risk of not having any evidence and came up with my reasoning first, otherwise Lin Xuan would have solved the case first.]

Conan couldn't help but open the champagne:

"Although Lin Xuan also deduced the truth, it was all thanks to Hattori-san who identified the murderer first."

"In my opinion, his ability is far inferior to that of Hattori-nii."

Ever since Lin Xuan became active, every time Conan encounters a case, it is always Lin Xuan who solves it first.

Even though he teamed up with Hattori Heiji this time, it was still an unprecedented victory!

Thinking that he finally defeated Lin Xuan, Heiji felt a little elated, and a bright smile of confidence and satisfaction appeared on his face.

At the same time, Heiji did not forget his good brother:

"Hahaha, the victim's name sounds exactly like Kudo Shinichi."

"In fact, that guy is as good as me. If he were here, he would definitely be able to find out the truth before Lin Xuan."

However, the detective's beloved childhood friend shrugged off their victory:

"Tsk, you secretly came to meet the client without telling Lin Xuan, isn't it just to get the clues first? You have completely disgraced the men of Guanxi."

"If the senior came with you, he might be able to discover the abnormality at the first time, and he would definitely be able to find out the truth earlier."

At the same time, several detectives were preparing to arrest the criminal.

The fat woman made a hysterical sound:

"It's unfair! It's unfair! I didn't kill Mr. Kudo."

Inspector Megure couldn't help but frown.

[The reasoning of the Kansai Detective is flawless, and Lin Xuan also pointed out that it was the maid who created the tape-locked room]

[Lin Xuan would never wrongly accuse a good person]

Megure was about to signal his subordinates to take tough measures, but Lin Xuan spoke again:

"Inspector, please wait a moment. I don't think this aunt is the murderer."

When these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

It was Lin Xuan who uncovered the mystery of the tape chamber and forced the maid into a desperate situation. Why was he speaking for the maid again?

"cut."

Heiji showed a disdainful look:

"You agreed with my reasoning a minute ago, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

[He must be saying this because he is upset because he saw me taking the spotlight in front of Kazuha.]

[Unfortunately, my reasoning is impeccable. Questioning it will only make you a clown.]

Lin Xuan asked calmly:

"Reasoning requires evidence. Where is the evidence that the fat lady killed someone?"

Now Heiji's expression became a little awkward.

[Although my reasoning is logically rigorous, it lacks the most crucial evidence]

Of course, Conan is on Heiji's side:

"If Hattori-san's reasoning was flawed, why did you help identify the maid as the one who created the tape-locked room?"

Lin Xuan stretched and said:

"Because the only person who could have created the secret room could be a maid, but creating a secret room doesn't mean she is a murderer."

The maid was stunned.

[Compared to the guy with Osaka accent and dark skin, this guy is the real detective! ]

[Did he also figure out that the murderer used the child to threaten me? ]

Lin Xuan sincerely advised the maid:

"The murderer who committed this crime is extremely cruel, and any promise he makes is not worthy of trust."

"Even if you become an accomplice under coercion, the police and the law will deal leniently with you as long as you don't commit a serious crime."

"Don't continue to help the murderer conceal the truth and make the same mistake again and again."

The maid was already an old lady, but when Lin Xuan stared at her, she actually felt a surge of love.

And the handsome boy really said these words out of consideration for her. If he doesn't tell the truth, he will definitely be regarded as the murderer.

So the maid swallowed her saliva and made up her mind:

"Okay, I'll tell you everything."
