Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Seeing that Xiaozi was about to cry, Lin Xuan, who had taken advantage of her enough, was afraid of hurting the girl's self-esteem.

He stopped when he saw that things were going well, gently pinched Xiaozi's cheek and said:

"I'm just teasing you. I'm waiting outside the bathroom. If you need help, just knock on the door."

When Shanren arrived, he found his sister lying on the hospital bed with a flushed face, and her eyes were full of intoxication and love when she looked at Lin Xuan.

An idea came to Sugito Enomoto's mind.

【Maybe I shouldn't have come?】

Although the date failed to go according to the planned route, Xiao Zi was saved by Lin Xuan again and could no longer leave the high school detective.

She even secretly made up her mind that once her foot injury healed, she would show her body to Lin Xuan without reservation.

The next day was Sunday. At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Xuan, who was still sleeping in the luxurious big bed in Kudo's house, was woken up by a phone call.

The person who called was Inspector Megure.

The video blogger Ootsuki Kikuei who often posts videos to debunk fake news, also known as the uncle with glasses who lived in the same ward with Yuantai, died yesterday.

The body was found in Rice Flower Park.

The cause of death was a blow to the back of the head with a heavy object, and the time of death was between ten and eleven last night.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

[It was a mistake. No, I was just too stupid]

[Leaving Conan behind will not only fail to calm the situation, but the power of the god of death will be activated and a murder will surely occur]

As for Megure contacting Lin Xuan at this moment, it was actually Haibara's suggestion. Ai did not go to the hospital yesterday because she had a cold.

Yuan Tai only suffered minor scratches in the bank threatening phone call incident.

Like most injured citizens, he had his wounds simply bandaged and was discharged from the hospital that afternoon.

When the children came to the parking lot, they were still talking about Mr. Kagura who saved Genta, and they praised Kagura's character and even his appearance.

These words reached the ears of the uncle with glasses, making Ootsuki Kikuei, who was driving to the parking lot, very angry.

Ootsuko couldn't help but stop the detective team and told the kids that Kagura was just a low-character liar acting according to a script.

Yuan Tai certainly would not allow the other party to slander his savior. Eventually, the matter turned into a quarrel between the middle-aged man and three elementary school students in the hospital parking lot. There were many witnesses at the time.

So after discovering the body and confirming the identity of the deceased this morning, the police quickly discovered the dispute that occurred in the hospital parking lot.

Takagi made several phone calls and invited members of the Junior Detective League to come to the police station to assist in the investigation.

Even Xiao Ai, who was resting at home due to a cold yesterday, was invited.

In addition to providing clues, Conan is also eager to solve the case himself.

At this time, Huibara suggested to the police captain that he ask Lin Xuan for help.

Megure actually had this idea in mind a long time ago, but as a nobleman he was too embarrassed to speak up himself.

Since it was Haibara who made the suggestion, Megure accepted it decisively and humbly called Lin Xuan to ask for help in the investigation.

Conan frowned at that moment and gave Haibara an impatient look.

[Lin Xuan occupied my house. Isn't it enough for you to be his neighbor every day? You actually let him come to investigate the case and steal my limelight.]

【You are a female cat in heat! 】

Huiyuan rolled her eyes in disdain and leaned closer to whisper sarcastically:

"You've always boasted that your reasoning ability is better than Lin Xuan's. Isn't it true that you're the first to solve the same case that proves your ability?"

"Or is your only strength the mouth?"

Conan looked gloomy:

"Okay, then you just watch who solves this case."

After a while, Lin Xuan rushed to the police station.

Megure told the police all the clues he had collected without reservation.

"besides."

Megure hesitated a little, but continued:

"The boys did some investigating yesterday afternoon as well."

Daping's body was only found this morning, so the Junior Detective Team certainly couldn't predict the future.

After an argument with Ootsuki, the three idiots of Teitan were unwilling to believe that Kagura, the brother who saved Genta, was a bad guy.

So, at Conan's suggestion, the Junior Detective Team went to the theater troupe where Kagura worked, hoping to confirm what kind of person Kagura was from her colleagues and friends.

Even without the ability to read minds, Lin Xuan could roughly guess the result just by looking at Yuan Tai's lost expression.

Mitsuhiko said dejectedly:

"Several actors in the crew said that Kagura-san is a vain hypocrite."

Ayumi was unwilling to believe it either:

"Some colleagues think that Kagura-san is very selfish because he is eager to encounter danger, even if innocent people will die as a result."

"But as long as I can get compensation, Kagura-nii will be very happy."

Conan secretly glanced at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with confidence.

The reason why Conan dared to make such a boast in front of Haibara even though he had lost so many times was because he was sure that he had found the murderer.

[Ever since he received a huge amount of compensation from the construction company last time, Kagura has been thinking about making extra money by creating accidents]

[It was he who made the threatening call to Beika Bank and pretended to be injured while rescuing someone. The bank will have to compensate Mr. Kagura]

[But Kagura was targeted by Ootsuki, a video blogger who specialized in exposing fakes. Fearing that he would be ruined or unwilling to pay a huge hush money, Kagura killed Ootsuki.]

Of course, Conan doesn't have any conclusive evidence yet.

So he did not explain his reasoning, but only suggested that Inspector Megure send someone to invite Mr. Kagura to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.

Soon, Kagura, with her left hand still wrapped in bandages, was taken back to the police station by Chiba.

Upon learning that the man with glasses whom she had met in the same ward yesterday had died tragically, Kagura was shocked:

"How can this be?"

Lin Xuan, Conan and others were standing behind the one-way glass in the interrogation room. Not only could they hear every word of the conversation clearly, they could even clearly see the changes in facial expressions of people involved in the case.

The police officer in charge of inquiring about the situation said:

"In fact, the deceased Mr. Ohtsubo has been secretly following and monitoring you all this time."

The degree of shock was far beyond Kagura's imagination. He couldn't believe it:

"You guys must be kidding me. This was the first time I met the man with glasses in the ward."

"Besides, I don't even know him, why would Mr. Ohtsubo be spying on me?"

Even criminal investigation experts cannot confirm with 100% certainty whether a suspect is lying about a specific statement.

But Lin Xuan could use his mind reading ability to know that at least Kagura was not lying now.

The police officer in charge of the inquiry asked the most important question:

"May I ask where you were and what you were doing between ten and eleven last night?"

This one hour is exactly the time range of death estimated by the forensic doctor.

Kagura hesitated a little but still said:

"I slept in the apartment. I fell asleep from the afternoon until this morning and never woke up."

The police officer in the interrogation room asked:

"Can anyone prove it?"

Kagura sighed:

"I don't have a girlfriend or roommates, so of course no one can prove it."

Moreover, the old apartment that Kagura rented did not have any surveillance cameras installed.

[That is to say, he has no alibi at the time of the crime! ]

Conan felt that he was one step closer to the truth.

However, Lin Xuan has ruled out Kagura as a suspect in the murder. No matter how good the murderer's acting skills are, his inner thoughts cannot deceive people.

Mr. Kagura, who was standing on the other side of the one-way glass, was filled with anxiety and fear of being misunderstood and suspected.

[Unless he has multiple personalities, he can't be the murderer]
