Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 138 Competing to be the Murderer

"I'm counting on you two!"

Inside the office, a criminal policeman with a coral-haired hairstyle bowed deeply to Lin Xuan.

Detective Yokomizo Sango of the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters.

He came all the way to Tokyo to seek help from a detective, naturally because there was an unsolved case in his jurisdiction.

Kogoro Mori is a famous detective who has appeared on TV shows and is well-known throughout the country.

Although Lin Xuan deliberately kept a low profile, his reasoning ability had long been known among the police.

Henggou Chanwu sighed and said:

"Taishu Komiyama is a well-known actor and has a great influence among the people of Shizuoka Prefecture."

"There is no clue in the case, and we are under tremendous public pressure."

When the local police came to him for help, Kogoro acted arrogantly:

"I want to help you, but any commission I take on starts at five million, and the time wasted during this time..."

Detective Coralhead said immediately:

"The county headquarters has already issued a reward order, and anyone who can provide useful clues will be rewarded 2 million yen."

"If the detective can help solve this case, the prefectural headquarters is willing to pay 20 million yen as a reward."

Upon hearing this, Kogoro immediately stood up and stated righteously:

"Leave it to me, Maori Kogoro. There is no case that cannot be solved if I personally take action."

Yokomizo Sango looked at Lin Xuan again. His superior asked him to ask the two famous detectives to return to Shizuoka Prefecture for help.

To Lin Xuan, this amount of money is nothing.

What he was really interested in was whether Conan would go with him. After all, only by solving the case before the Death God Elementary School Student could he get the system reward.

Conan has not yet recovered from the depression of having his house snatched away by Lin Xuan. He looks confused and his eyes are dull even when he hears about the case.

So Lin Xuan suggested to the girl sitting next to him:

"Xiaolan, I heard that Shizuoka Prefecture has beautiful scenery. Do you want to take the opportunity of investigating the case to travel with me?"

Before Xiaolan could express her opinion, a rage for revenge burned in Conan's lifeless eyes.

[This guy is trying to take advantage of Xiaolan again]

[Lin Xuan, I must beat you this time! ]

[I will use my reasoning ability to prove to my parents that I don't need to win you over. I can still fight the Black Organization alone! ]

[Get out of Kudo's house! ]

After confirming that Conan had regained his fighting spirit, Lin Xuan nodded to the coral-headed detective and said:

"I am also willing to go and assist you in your investigation."

For the 20 million reward, Mao Li impatiently asked Officer Yokomizo:

"So until now, you haven't been able to find any evidence to identify the suspect?"

The other party hesitated, but still answered truthfully:

"Mr. Maori, we have already arrested the suspect, and he has admitted that he killed Mr. Komiyama alone."

This is going to make Kogoro unable to handle it.

[Why are you looking for me now that the murderer has been caught? ]

[Could it be that this coral head is here to tease me? ]

Fearing that the detective might misunderstand, Yokomizo Sango quickly explained:

"The problem is, three people said the same thing."

Kogoro couldn't believe it, he confirmed:

"All three of them said they were the murderer?"

Officer Yokomizo nodded and continued:

"Yes, and they all insist that they committed the crime alone."

"That's why the county headquarters has been unable to solve this case."

Conan's mind started to work.

[It is possible that the three of them were in cahoots with each other and fabricated lies to prevent the police from convicting them]

[Of course, if he actively admits that he is the murderer, he may also take the blame for someone else]

[But these are all speculations without evidence]

[Only by going to Shizuoka Prefecture and confirming the situation of the deceased and the three suspects and finding solid evidence can we make inferences]

Apparently after the farce of mistaking his parents for members of the Black Organization, Conan has become more serious than ever.

Lin Xuan disagreed. After all, no one could lie to him.

No matter what secrets the three men had for claiming to kill someone alone, as long as they had a few words face to face, their inner thoughts would reveal the truth to Lin Xuan.

However, when he arrived at the Shizuoka Prefectural Police Headquarters the next day, Lin Xuan quickly realized that this case was different.

The body of the deceased was discovered by the director, the famous actor Yasushi Komiyama, who was lying in the lounge assigned to him by the crew.

Komiyayama died of a heart attack, but there were obvious scars on the back of his head from a severe blow.

A severe blow to the head can easily induce a heart attack, so the detective in charge of the investigation still believed that someone had hit Komiyayama on the head, which led to his death.

The medical examiner confirmed the time range of death of the deceased after an autopsy, and the director and most of the crew on the set had clear alibis.

The only people who had time to kill were the other three actors, and they each admitted that they had killed Mr. Komiyama alone.

After arriving at the county police headquarters, Lin Xuan immediately requested to personally question the suspect.

The first person to answer everyone's questions was the middle-aged extra actor Sheng You.

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions. That's right, I was the one who killed him!"

"Komiya always looks down on me and says that I will never be able to get ahead in my life if I play a minor role."

Thinking of the humiliation he had experienced, Sheng clenched his fists in anger:

"On the day of the incident, he broke into my lounge, tore up my script without saying a word, and told me to get out of the crew."

"I, I just couldn't control myself so I picked up the decorative vase on the table and smashed it on his head."

What the extra actor said at this moment was consistent with his true feelings, which made Lin Xuan confirm that he was the murderer.

"I smashed Komiya-san to death, and out of fear I dragged the body back to his own lounge."

"Then the director discovered the body and the police arrived at the scene."

Although it was confirmed that the murderer was Shengyou, Lin Xuan did not want to expose his abilities. He also wanted to know why the other two actors were willing to take the blame for the extras.

The second person to be questioned was the young and beautiful actress Niikura.

"Yes, I am the murderer."

When she first confessed to the police, Shinkura was crying, but after being detained by the county police station for a few days, the actress became much stronger.

She simply blurted out everything in one breath:

"Komiyayama often takes advantage of his status as a famous actor to make advances on younger actors. This time during filming, he even tried to take advantage of me."

"I rejected the guy's attempt, but I didn't expect that on the morning of the incident, he actually broke into my lounge before the crew arrived."

Shinkura said with a hateful voice:

"Komiyama tried to molest me, so I grabbed a decorative vase and I accidentally killed him."

Lin Xuan had the same confused expression on his face as the detective at the Shizuoka Prefecture Headquarters.

Because the young actress was also not lying, the inner voice proved that it was Shinkura who killed Komiyayama alone.

[What's going on? Both of them are telling the truth, but they both claim that they killed the victim alone]

Soon it was the turn of the third actor who claimed to be the murderer, the handsome actor Shinno.

"Hahaha, you asked the right person."

"Yes, I picked up the vase and smashed that beast Komiyayama to death."
