Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 143 We are still good friends

Although he is a famous detective who got to where he is by doing nothing, Kogoro's name is well known throughout the entire book.

The people involved were indeed shocked, and the murderer's inner panic also allowed Lin Xuan to lock on to the target in the first place.

The deceased was named Kiyomi Hashimoto and was an employee of an advertising company.

The three persons involved were close colleagues of the deceased.

They are 24-year-old Shizuka Wawa, 20-year-old Yukiko Mori, and 26-year-old male Seiji Aoda.

Before the police arrived, Mao Li and Lin Xuan conducted a preliminary examination of the deceased's body.

There was a needle-sized wound on the deceased's left auricle, but no other obvious external injuries.

Conan has guessed that the abnormality of the corpse is most likely because the victim died from some special toxin.

[If the death was caused by poisoning, the murder weapon was most likely pierced from the ear]

[But why choose ears that can be easily avoided? ]

Soon, Inspector Megure arrived with his men.

The tram runs in a loop, but most passengers take it to the airport.

Therefore, when the body was discovered, except for the conductor who had been staying in the driver's cab, only Lin Xuan and his group and these three related persons were left on the entire tram.

They are all old acquaintances, and Megure is counting on the detective to help solve the case, so he certainly won't refuse to let the detective participate in the investigation.

The death of her colleague frightened the youngest member, Yukiko Mori, and made Seiji Sōda, who loved the deceased, depressed.

Only Shizuka Hehe remained relatively stable.

In order to take care of the emotions of the deceased's colleagues, the group left carriage No. 1 where the body was found and conducted inquiries in carriage No. 2.

"Yes, we both work in the same department of the company."

He He continued:

"But Hashimoto left the company early in the morning, and we only got off work three hours ago."

Seeing the police officer's puzzled look, the female office worker explained:

"Today is Hashimoto's boyfriend's birthday, and she had agreed with her boss that she would only come to work half a day."

Megure nodded, this was consistent with the information the police had.

When checking the deceased's belongings, the police found a large number of missed calls from the same number.

The owner of the number was the deceased's boyfriend, who claimed that he had not been able to contact his girlfriend since the morning, and several criminal police officers had gone to his residence to find out the details.

Ever since she learned of the tragic death of her colleague, Yukiko Mori has turned pale, as if she was terrified, but now hatred for the deceased has begun to surge in her heart:

[Denci is obviously my boyfriend]

[That woman deserves to be chopped into pieces. She took Denci away from me! ]

Lin Xuan was not surprised because he knew before the police arrived that Mori Yukiko, who was pretending to be scared, was the murderer.

Mao Li asked Cangtian Zhengji:

"You seemed to say something strange when the body was found. Did you still pursue Ms. Hashimoto even though you knew she had a lover?"

Cangtian's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed:

"Well, after all, Qingmei and her new boyfriend have only been together for a short time. She is so beautiful, so of course I want to pursue her."

Not only did this sentence fail to clear him of suspicion, but it also made several police officers in the car look at him with suspicion.

Cangtian had no choice but to drag other people into the water in a panic:

"Is that why you look at me with suspicion? Kiyomi's current boyfriend was stolen from Ms. Mori."

"And she also stole Hehe's work design. Will Mori and Hehe be suspected as well?"

Yes, now in Megure's eyes, these three colleagues all have a motive to kill.

But Cangtian immediately added:

"Kiyomi left the company in the morning. How could we three have the opportunity to kill someone if we always act together whether we're working or riding the train?"

"There must be some pervert on this train. The police officer didn't investigate the pervert who killed people on the train and instead suspected me."

Yukiko Mori also testified:

"The seniors have always been with me, and it is impossible for Senior Cangtian to do something that turns love into hate."

Cangtian looked at Mori with gratitude, but he never expected that the seemingly fragile junior was blaming him in his heart:

[What should I do if I am suspected by the police because I told them about my story? 】

[The action must be tied to the two seniors, and they must be used to escape the crime]

And Hehe Shizuka said:

"Although Hashimoto plagiarized my design, I have forgiven her after that incident."

"Who would be stupid enough to sacrifice the rest of their life for something as trivial as this?"

"Although everyone had misunderstandings with Hashimoto, they are still close friends."

Cangtian urged Megure:

"Of course we are sad that Qingmei died, but this matter has nothing to do with us."

"When will the interrogation end and we be allowed to leave?"

Even though all three had motives for committing the crime and were in the next car when the body was found, Metume had no right to restrict their freedom for a long time without solid evidence.

Lin Xuan spoke at this time:

"Please provide your belongings in the order in which they are brought. After the police check, leave your address and contact information and you can leave."

Megure took Lin Xuan's words as an order from his superior. He nodded quickly and prepared to execute it.

In fact, checking personal belongings was just a cover. Lin Xuan just wanted to take this opportunity to interrogate the murderer.

He was confident that he could make the murderer reveal his murder methods and evidence in front of him. After all, no one could lie in front of Lin Xuan.

[The murderer is most likely among these three]

Conan's premonition was accurate.

[Although he is unwilling, since Lin Xuan is staying in this carriage, if the murderer is carrying any suspicious items, it is impossible to hide it from his eyes.]

Thinking of this, Conan turned around and slipped back to carriage No. 1 while no one was paying attention.

Forensic personnel are examining several seats near the body.

"Little boy, don't come over here and ruin the scene."

A newcomer in the workplace didn't even know the Grim Reaper and wanted to drive him away.

Conan put on his gloves and pretended to convey the imperial decree:

"It was Uncle Maori who remembered something important and asked me to confirm it."

After saying that, he went straight to checking the items the victim was carrying.

Another forensic officer said to his juniors:

"This child is Mr. Maori's assistant. He often finds details that even adults would overlook."

This time, Conan quickly noticed the overlooked clue that something was missing from the items that Kiyomi Hashimoto carried with her.

Although the victim's mobile phone password could not be guessed, when Conan turned on the screen, it showed a music lock screen, and the playback software was currently paused.

In a social atmosphere that is as oppressive as "don't cause trouble to others", young female white-collar workers like Kiyomi Hashimoto would never play music outside in the car.

However, Conan searched through all of Hashimoto's belongings but couldn't find the headphones.

At the same time, the icon at the top of the screen indicated that the Bluetooth function of the mobile phone was turned on, but there were no other electronic devices among the items carried by the deceased.

【I see! 】

Conan understood.

[The Bluetooth headset used by the deceased has a micro-poison needle that can cause wounds]

[The wound on the concha is caused by wearing headphones! ]

Now Conan can be 100% sure:

[The murderer must be among the three colleagues]
