Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 144 The Disappearing Headphones

Only close friends can easily borrow each other's Bluetooth headsets, and the three friends of the deceased in the company all had motives to kill her.

[After being poisoned, Hashimoto was still wearing headphones, and the appearance of her body had not changed, so other passengers in the car thought she was listening to music]

[Although the three colleagues who got on the train later were sitting in another car, the real murderer could have easily taken the opportunity of going to the toilet to come to the body and retrieve the headphones]

Conan has figured out the method of committing the crime, but has not yet confirmed who the murderer is.

Just then, he looked through the window and saw that one of the three suspects, Seiji Cangtian, was standing outside the tram.

Lin Xuan said that as long as the personal belongings are checked one by one and confirmed that there is no problem, the relevant persons can leave.

[Idiot! Are you going to let the murderer go? ]

In fact, Cangtian had no plans to leave immediately, after all, the tram was parked in the wilderness.

He also had to wait until two of his colleagues were cleared of suspicion, and the three of them shared the huge expense of contacting a taxi to return to the city.

Conan chased out:

"Brother, what a pity."

Cangtian was confused.

【What is the little ghost saying? 】

"You are so handsome, and you and Hashimoto-san are a perfect match, but you are not together."

Cangtian enjoyed being licked but still pretended to be serious:

"There's no need to talk about the past. I just hope the police can catch the murderer as soon as possible to comfort Qingmei."

But after being complimented several times by the elementary school students, Cangtian was so flattered that he had no defense against the children around him.

Conan asked tentatively:

"Brother, is Mori-nee's relationship with her boyfriend so bad? Why can she and Hashimoto-nee still be friends when her boyfriend was taken away?"

Cangtian recalled:

"Alas, it was indeed Qingmei who did the wrong thing. I remember that Xiaosen was so upset that he took a half-month long vacation."

Cangtian suddenly remembered something and quickly changed his words:

"But it's all over, and their relationship is even better after reconciliation than before."

"Qingmei's headphones were missing this morning, so Xiaosen took the initiative to lend her his Bluetooth headphones."

Cangtian is also a suspect, so Conan did not lead the topic to the headphones at the beginning. Unexpectedly, the other party actually brought up this matter on his own initiative.

He then asked about the specific circumstances of the three people's ride in the car, and learned that Mori Yukiko went to the toilet twice. Conan could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

[Sure enough, the murderer is her! ]

"why are you laughing?"

The strange smile on the elementary school student's face once again made Cangtian feel puzzled.

However, Conan, who had been full of admiration for him just a second ago, stopped acting. The Grim Reaper ignored Cangtian and returned to the carriage where everyone was gathered.

[If I hadn't found out the truth, the murderer would have been let go by Lin Xuan tonight]

[Although it's a bargain for the uncle, no matter what, I was able to finally reveal the murderer's true identity before that guy! ]

Conan flipped open the dial of the watch-shaped anesthetic gun, intending to put Maori to sleep as soon as he entered the carriage.

He even planned to use Mao Li's voice to suppress Lin Xuan's recent arrogance.

[You are far from me, little brat! Kudo Shinichi's reasoning ability is far superior to yours! ]

Conan seemed to be able to see Lin Xuan's helpless and furious look, and the elementary school student was so happy that the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to his ears.

However, the first step of the plan failed.

"Ms. Yukiko Mori, you are the murderer of Ms. Hashimoto."

As soon as he entered the carriage, Conan heard Lin Xuan questioning the real murderer.

On the seat next to her were placed the belongings that Yukiko Mori brought with her.

In the eyes of everyone, the high school detective questioned Miss Mori after examining these things.

The prisoner was startled, and her already pale face turned even more bloodless.

[He knows I'm the murderer. When did I reveal my flaws? ]

[The earphones have clearly been disposed of, he has no evidence! ]

[Must be bluffing]

Conan's face became uglier than the murderer's.

【This is impossible! 】

[How did Lin Xuan know that the murderer lent the deceased an earphone with a micro-poison needle to achieve long-distance killing? ]

Even Inspector Megure widened his eyes and rechecked the items on the seat.

Still clueless, he had to ask:

"Brother Lin Xuan, is there any evidence among these items that can prove that Miss Mori committed murder?"

Lin Xuan shook his head and said:

"On the contrary, there was something missing that made me suspect she was the murderer."

"Ms. Mori really likes electronic products. In addition to her mobile phone, she also carries two tablets of different sizes with her."

"I guess it's to kill time watching videos on the way to work, but wouldn't it be weird without headphones?"

Only then did several police officers notice the unreasonableness of Lin Xuan's naming.

The real murderer panicked, and she suddenly realized that the detective was not bluffing.

In order to avoid the crime, she had to make a false excuse:

"Huh? Does everyone have to wear headphones when going out?"

"I never used headphones, even though..."

However, before she could finish her argument, Shizuka Hehe interrupted her with an uneasy look on her face:

"Xiao Sen, why did you lie?"

As a good friend, she certainly knew that Yukiko Mori was not telling the truth.

[Oh no, the senior is still in the car]

[And when I lent the Bluetooth headset to the vixen, Hehe-senpai was also there]

The real murderer wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. The huge pressure made her breathless.

But she still had one last lifeline.

[The earphones with the poison needle have been disposed of by me, the detective has no evidence]

[Without evidence, the police can't arrest me! ]

Sure enough, Lin Xuan asked He He to confirm whether Mori Yukiko lent the Bluetooth headset to the victim.

After receiving a positive answer, Lin Xuan said confidently:

"As early as when I found the body, I thought the wound on the ear was very strange."

"Whether it's a pervert who randomly kills people on a train or an acquaintance who wants to create a wound to allow the toxin to flow into the blood, there are better options."

"Why choose the ears when you can dodge the attack by just tilting your head?"

"Unless Miss Hashimoto took the weapon and stabbed her own ear without knowing it!"

Lin Xuan continued to reason:

"It was Yukiko Mori who found an opportunity to steal the deceased's headphones and took the initiative to lend the headphones with micro-poison needles to Hashimoto."

"Ms. Hashimoto was killed as soon as she put on her headphones on the train, but the special toxin limited the changes in the body, so for several hours, the passengers who got on and off thought she was just sleeping."

"The body remained on the tram as it travelled in a loop."

"Ms. Mori, who was riding the train with her colleagues after get off work, took the opportunity to go to the toilet to retrieve the headphones and destroyed them."

A policeman said admiringly:

"I see. So there were no headphones among the items the deceased carried with him."

Conan frowned, his face full of helplessness and frustration.

【Lin Xuan said all my words】

[He was able to deduce so many things just by looking at the wound? ]

Even after his modus operandi was revealed, the murderer still struggled to his death.

Yukiko Mori's eyes became a little crazy:

"Where's the evidence? If you want to accuse me of being a murderer, you have to produce evidence!"
