Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 186: The statute of limitations is extended?

After pressing "Send", Conan originally planned to falsely convey an imperial decree and use Maori's identity to summon everyone to gather in the living room.

Although he has to use the uncle's mouth to point out that the butler is his first love, Conan is also prepared to use Maori's mouth to severely belittle Lin Xuan.

However, as soon as he left the bathroom, Conan realized that something was wrong because everyone had already arrived in the living room!

Upon discovering Conan, Xiaolan angrily asked:

"Where did you go just now? The butler said he had something important to announce and couldn't find you anywhere."

Afraid that his second cell phone would be discovered, Conan would hide in the bathroom on the second floor of the villa whenever he was calling the police captain with a loud voice or sending text messages to deduce things.

The housekeeper finally overcame his inner demons and admitted to the hostess in front of everyone:

"Miss, actually I am that boy back then."

Upon hearing this, the two imposters jumped out at the same time to question:

"You must be joking! Miss Kurumi said that her first love had a huge scar on his body because he saved her."

"I am clearly Ms. Shodo's first love and the owner of the 100 million yen!"

Hearing that someone was trying to compete with him for 100 million yen, Lin Xuan stood up to expose the liar:

"The boy was less than ten years old when he was injured while saving Miss Zhuangtang. The scars on a child's body will become smaller as he grows older."

"On the contrary, the two of you have two straight scars that don't match up."

The scammers were stunned. The two of them came to the villa because they saw a news interview and wanted to get 100 million yen for free. They didn't know that the scars from childhood would change normally.

The hostess listened quietly, neither excited nor suspicious.

Kogoro couldn't help but ask:

"If you are my first boyfriend, why didn't you tell Ms. Zhuang Tang before?"

The butler sighed, his voice filled with annoyance:

"Before, I just wanted to stay by my lady's side and protect her silently, but because of this, I actually attracted a dangerous guy..."

The butler looked at Lin Xuan and continued:

"This guest told me the reason why he suddenly mentioned whistling in the bath."

"Knowing that a serial killer could potentially disguise himself as me to get close to Miss, I could no longer remain silent."

It was Lin Xuan's provocation that made the butler gather everyone together and reveal their identities.

[The senior arrived at the villa only two hours later, and he found out the truth before his father and Conan]

Xiaolan looked at Lin Xuan with eyes full of admiration and adoration.

This made Conan feel heartbroken.

[I didn’t expect that Lin Xuan would get there first]

Zhuangtang Hutao took out the lottery ticket that won the grand prize from his wallet and said:

"As agreed, the 100 million yen belongs to you."

Lin Xuan walked forward with a smile and took the lottery ticket.

Even if no case happens this time and no new abilities are unlocked, 100 million yen is still a very generous reward.

His heart was filled with regret.

[I have also deduced that the butler is actually the boy from that year]

[It was a waste of time to contact the police, and this guy succeeded! ]

[Didn't Miss Zhuang Tang say that she would give the winning lottery ticket to her first love? Why did the recipient become Lin Xuan? ]

Not only Conan, the two swindlers were also jealous to the point of being unable to look away.

"Boy, I've been pretending to be so cautious in this villa for so many days, and you want to take away the 100 million yen just two hours after I got here?"

"Even if I'm not Miss Kurumi's first love, you should give me half of the hard work fee, right?"

Nanmu was so furious that he even wanted to step forward and threaten Lin Xuan.

Xiaolan was just about to teach the scammers a lesson when the doorbell rang again and the housekeeper hurried forward to open the door.

"I am Seinaga Matsumoto, the management officer of the First Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"I am Megure from the Search Three Departments."

As soon as the two leaders of the Investigation Section 1 arrived in the living room, they revealed their identities.

The attempted impersonator was horrified.

[I haven't even defrauded any money yet, and a high-ranking police officer is here to arrest me? Are you kidding me?]

Nanmu turned sideways and tried to escape, but the police officer was looking for him!

Manager Matsumoto grabbed Kusunoki's shoulders and said viciously:

"There is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga has an injured left eye and usually looks terrifyingly stern.

Now thinking that the murderer from many years ago might be standing in front of him, the detective showed a ferocious face and scared the criminal so much that his breathing became rapid.

Megure quietly came to Lin Xuan's side and showed him Kudo Shinichi's reasoning on the phone screen:

“The assailants took the car and fled, but a subsequent inspection of the abandoned car confirmed that only the driver’s seat cover had been removed.

This means that the "I"-shaped wound created by Manager Matsumoto was on the murderer's back. If the wound was on the front of the body, there would definitely be other bloodstains in the car."

Megure whispered:

"Because of the reasoning sent by Kudo, the management officer suspected that Kusunoki was the murderer who committed the serial murders that year."

Lin Xuan was slightly surprised:

"How did the police officer know where the scar was on the crook's body?"

In fact, as soon as he asked this question, Lin Xuan knew the reason through mind reading.

It turns out that Kogoro knows that the matter may be related to the previous unsolved case, and the uncle, who is a former detective, also finds an opportunity to contact Megure to report the situation he has.

In fact, Lin Xuan already knew that neither Nanmu nor Banchang had anything to do with the whistle man's serial murder case that year.

Although the reasoning Conan sent to Megure did not lead to the discovery of the real murderer, the logic was correct.

In addition, Nanmu actually provoked him, so Lin Xuan simply ignored everything and let the liar be taken to the police station for interrogation.

However, Nanmu was released less than a day later. When the whistle man killed people many years ago, the liar was studying abroad and was not in Liben.

Conan could only comfort himself after learning that Nanmu did not have the time to commit the crime and was not the real murderer.

[Not only me, even Lin Xuan has no clue about the Whistle Man serial murder case 20 years ago]

The case is about to exceed the statute of limitations, and major news media in Mihua City are once again paying attention to the unsolved case of that year.

A criminal psychologist was a guest on a current affairs program. When the host asked him about the psychology of criminals, the expert was dismissive:

"I think the criminals back then are now like sewer rats, hiding in dark corners and waiting for the statute of limitations to expire."

"The prisoner is a poor, cowardly creature who must have regretted his crime for the rest of his life."

The experts even made harsh remarks to the prisoners during the show:

"If you have the courage, then come to me! Let me see what courage a coward can have!"

"But I know the criminal doesn't have the guts to do that, otherwise he would have surrendered himself long ago."

Unlike other experts who only talk big in front of the camera, this criminal psychologist has made great contributions to solving cases.

Liben’s criminal cases will no longer be investigated once the statute of limitations has passed, and the whistleblower murder case will also soon pass the statute of limitations.

The next day, the body of the criminal psychologist was found in his apartment.

The statute of limitations for cases spanning twenty years has been extended.
