Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Conan looked through the glass and watched the intimate behavior of Xiaolan and Lin Xuan in the living room.

Even though his childhood sweetheart had been snatched away by Lin Xuan a long time ago, he still felt heartbroken every time he saw the two of them being intimate.

[Humph, Lin Xuan, just waste your time trying to pick up girls.]

[I must be the one to solve the case this time! ]

At this time, the sound of a group of footsteps was heard from the entrance of the apartment. It was Inspector Megure who came with his subordinates.

Police from the Metropolitan Police Department arrived and immediately began questioning people related to the case.

Not surprisingly, all three were suspects.

Shared apartments often have conflicts due to different schedules of tenants, but the deceased attracted a lot of hatred because of his bad character.

Yajima, who is studying at university, is in financial difficulties due to family changes, and the victim, Ghana, takes the initiative to lend her money.

But afterwards, the deceased often made things difficult for the female college student in daily life because of this incident, and even asked her to pay high interest.

Suzuki is an honest office worker, but the day before yesterday he was suddenly warned by his landlord to move out of his shared house on the grounds that he was peeping at three girls.

This is naturally also a slander by Ghana. The deceased did this simply because he was displeased with Suzuki.

The house Kawakami rented was on the first floor, directly below Ghana's room.

The victim often practiced dancing or played videos loudly in the room day and night, causing Kawakami downstairs to suffer from the noise.

Kawakami once gave the deceased a cake hoping that he would consider his feelings, but Ghana not only did not restrain himself but became even more aggressive.

Qianye couldn't help but frown.

"My three roommates and I are all having a holiday, and we have to work overtime tonight."

But Inspector Megure was used to winning without any effort. He sat contentedly on the sofa in the living room and cast his eyes on the detective.

As long as there is a famous detective on the scene, the police can solve the case by just helping out and running errands.

Feeling that everything was safe, Mao Li could not contain his excitement and identified the murderer:

"Mr. Suzuki, you are the one who killed Ms. Garner!"

The office worker had a look of fear on his face, while the other two roommates covered their mouths in fear and moved away to keep a distance from Suzuki.

"Mr. Mori."

Suzuki defended himself:

"I did find the body, but I didn't kill anyone."

In Kogoro's eyes, this was undoubtedly a sophistry, and he asked a very sharp question:

"On the second floor of the apartment are the rooms of Miss Gana and Miss Yajima."

"You were slandered as a peeping Tom by Garner not long ago. Instead of avoiding suspicion, you took the initiative to go to the victim's room?"

Suzuki explained with a frustrated look:

"Because I found a message from Garner on the notice board this morning, asking me to go to her room tonight and explain everything."

The tenants have taken the initiative to make rules and write them on a notice board next to the entrance of the apartment, such as each person's bathing time and duty roster for everyone to follow.

At the same time, because of different schedules and our relationship is just acquaintances, if I want to leave a message for other roommates, I will also write it down.

The grievances of social animals:

"I thought Garner wanted to apologize to me so she went to the appointment, but I never thought she would die in the room."

Of course Kogoro didn't believe it:

"I checked the notice board, and there's no message like the one you mentioned."

Suzuki tried to explain:

"It said not to let other tenants know about this, so I erased it after reading it."

"After all, only if Garner makes things clear with the landlord personally will I not be forced to move out. Once things don't go to that woman's liking, she will torture me even more."

The office worker suddenly remembered something, and he looked at his two roommates for help:

“I’m the last one to get up and leave the apartment every day.”

"Perhaps before me, Ms. Yajima or Ms. Kawakami had seen these lines."

However, both girls shook their heads in fear.

Chiba looked at the suspect with suspicion and asked:

"Mr. Suzuki, you didn't explain this to us when I asked you about the situation just now."

The social animal answered as a matter of course:

"Because the text was erased, I was afraid that if I told the police I would not be able to prove it and they would suspect me."

Chiba was speechless.

Now the police suspected that Suzuki was the murderer.

Just at this moment, Takagi, who was still searching the apartment, brought good news.

Gao Mu ran to the living room quickly, holding two bloody towels in the evidence bag in his hand:

"Inspector, this was found in Mr. Suzuki's shoe cabinet."

The office worker was stunned. Noticing the sharp gaze of the inspector, Suzuki stammered:

"Officer, I, I know nothing! The towel seems to be mine, but..."

At this moment, Mao Li, who first claimed that he was the murderer, delivered a fatal blow:

"Mr. Suzuki, you are so stupid."

"Ran and Yajima have been chatting in the living room tonight. Through the window in the wall, they can see clearly who is passing through the elevator."

"Both of them confirmed that you and the victim were the only ones who went to the second floor tonight."

"That means you are the only one who has a chance to kill Miss Garner!"

[Mouri Kogoro actually reasoned completely according to the script I set]

[Hahaha, the perfect plan to kill the evil woman can be manipulated even by a famous detective! ]

The murderer's panic when he first saw the famous detective turned into complacency in his heart.

As for Suzuki, who was accused of being the murderer, he was trembling with fear and uttered an unwilling excuse:

"Nonsense, I, I didn't kill anyone."

But in Megure's eyes, this was just the prisoner's dying struggle.

The inspector gave Takagi a look, indicating that he should arrest the man.

Conan shook his head helplessly, turned on the anesthesia watch and looked for a place to hide in the room.

[Stupid uncle, in the end you still have to rely on me to help you restore your reputation]

However, before Conan found the hiding corner, Lin Xuan spoke to stop Gao Mu:

"Wait a minute, the murderer is not Mr. Suzuki."

As soon as Lin Xuan opened his mouth, he became the focus of everyone in the living room.

Conan's mouth opened wide enough to fit a light bulb in it, and his eyes widened instantly.

[He spends all his time taking advantage of Xiaolan, how could he possibly know the truth?]

[Could it be that during the few minutes that Xiaolan was questioned by the uncle, Lin Xuan walked around the apartment and deduced everything? ]

[No, this is impossible! 】

Conan absolutely did not believe that Lin Xuan could accomplish something that took him an hour to investigate and reason in just a few minutes.

Maori also frowned.

[This little devil comes out again to object to my reasoning]

But in the previous case, Kogoro had just been slapped in the face, so Maori had to swallow his displeasure and raise the core question:

"There are no signs of intrusion from outside on the balconies of the two rooms on the second floor. The only way to get to the second floor of the apartment is by taking the direct staircase."

"And Xiaolan and Miss Yajima saw it clearly through the window in the living room. The only people who went upstairs tonight were Suzuki and the deceased."

"Who else could kill someone except Suzuki?"

Lin Xuan smiled gently and said:

"Unfortunately, they are definitely not the only two who entered the second floor via the elevator tonight."

"Do you think there's something wrong with Xiaolan and I's memory?"

Although he has a crush on handsome guys, Yajima will not change his testimony because of this:

"One of us may be wrong, but we both can't be wrong."

The female college student insisted:

"The only people who appeared in the elevator window tonight were Garner and Suzuki."
