Guangyan sighed in disappointment and said to Lin Xuan:

"Brother Lin Xuan, you overestimate Conan. He knows nothing."

Huiyuan mocked directly:

"It seems that a certain egomaniac is still far from being a true detective."

Lin Xuan also said with disappointment:

"Even Conan didn't notice? In that case, let me explain it myself."

The tone of disappointment completely broke through Conan's psychological defenses.

[If Lin Xuan says it, everyone will think he found clues that I didn’t notice]

There was no way Conan had to rush to the corpse before Lin Xuan opened his mouth and lifted up the criminal psychologist's left hand that was covering the keyboard.

Gao Mu then noticed:

"Two of the buttons are stained with blood!"

The bloodstained cases are ctrl and V on the left side of the keyboard.

Conan nodded:

"The doctor told me that I can copy text by selecting it and pressing these two buttons at the same time."

【I see! 】

Lin Xuan pretended to know everything and explained to the police:

"Only these two keys on the keyboard were stained with blood, and the deceased deliberately covered them with his left hand. This must be a deliberate death message."

"He wanted to tell us that the person who killed him was not the whistle man but a copycat criminal!"

Megure still couldn't accept it:

"But the investigating police never told the media that letters were carved into the body."

"If it was a copycat, how would he have known about the existence of letters and carved a capital 'Z' on the body today?"

Sato suddenly remembered the details she had seen in the file, and she looked up at Megure:

"Inspector! The seniors did not disclose this information to the media."

"But we have repeatedly asked the victim's family about the letters, hoping they can provide clues."

Lin Xuan continued:

"That means the family members of the three victims back then may be the perpetrators of this case."

Although some police officers felt that it might not be a copycat murder, Manager Matsumoto agreed with Lin Xuan's reasoning and ordered his subordinates:

“Adjust the direction of the investigation and investigate the families of the victims in the previous three cases.”

But Lin Xuan said:

"No need to go through so much trouble. Just let Officer Sato take me to meet them separately, and I will be able to identify the murderer."

There were voices of surprise in the room, but no one dared to question the famous detective who had solved many strange cases, not to mention that he discovered the death information that was ignored by the police with just one glance.

"please!"

An officer of the Investigation Division 1 actually made a humble request to a high school student.

Of course, after Lin Xuan took Sato's hand and left, Matsumoto still ordered his subordinates to continue investigating the clue of the strange man noticed by the elementary school girls.

Although the management officer places his hopes of solving the case on the detective, the police cannot sit idle in order to avoid being questioned by the media.

"Conan, are you okay?"

Ayumi was startled by the gloomy expression of the Death God Elementary School Student. She asked him with concern but he ignored her.

Conan quickly ran to the apartment's emergency exit and called Agasa:

"Doctor, is it convenient now? I would like you to drive me to investigate a case."

"Leave it all to Lin Xuan?"

Conan's expression became even uglier:

"What a joke! How could I hand the case over to that guy? I was the one who found the death message left by the victim!"

An hour later, Sato's red Mazda stopped in front of a single-family house.

The first family member of the deceased to meet was the widow of a doctor who was killed twenty years ago. After the doctor's death, his wife inherited a large estate and lived a life of luxury.

In addition, there was no sign of the door lock at the crime scene having been pried open, so the police believed that the crime was committed by an acquaintance and once suspected that the doctor's widow was the murderer, but the investigation naturally yielded no results.

An old woman with white hair soon appeared in front of the two of them.

"Today, another case with the same modus operandi as that of the past occurred. Do you know this victim?"

Lin Xuan said as he handed the photo of the murdered criminal psychologist to the old man.

The doctor's widow looked at the photo and said:

“I think I’ve seen it on TV.”

[The police are really a bunch of rubbish. The murderer has been at large for so many years and still dares to continue committing crimes]

[The people work hard, but the taxes they pay end up in the pockets of these tax thieves]

Lin Xuan immediately understood that the doctor's widow was not the murderer of today's case.

Then they went to see the second case, the professor's only surviving relative, his younger brother, whose body had the letter "S" carved on it with a samurai sword.

"The professor bought a high-value life insurance policy a month before his death, and the beneficiary was his younger brother."

While driving on the road, Sato told Lin Xuan what he saw in the file:

"So the police thought the professor's brother might be the murderer and conducted a follow-up investigation on him."

Of course, the police were unable to find any evidence of the professor's brother's crime.

"After so many years, I finally forgot about that incident, but now the police are here to open up the wound again."

When the professor's brother received the call and learned that the police were coming to visit him, he was speechless.

Lin Xuan comforted:

"It won't take you long. We'll just ask a few questions and then we'll leave."

The detective handed over a photo of the murdered criminal psychologist, and the professor's brother shook his head after looking at it, indicating that he did not know the man.

"What's past is past. I hope the police officer won't bother me with sad things anymore."

The professor's brother sounded relieved, but Lin Xuan knew that the victim's family was actually heartbroken.

[Police Officer Liben only does superficial work]

[My poor brother died in vain because of this bunch of rubbish]

In any case, Lin Xuan confirmed that the professor's brother was not the murderer.

After saying goodbye to the second victim's family, Sato drove to the home of the third victim.

"The third case happened fifteen years ago. The letter W was carved into the lawyer's body. The victim's family was the most miserable."

This time Sato's voice was full of sympathy:

"The lawyer's son was only ten years old at the time, and he was hiding in a dark corner of the room where the crime occurred. The child heard the lawyer's groans with his own ears until his father was killed by the murderer."

"After returning home, the lawyer's wife fell ill after seeing the tragic state of her husband's body and is still in hospital."

Lin Xuan was somewhat puzzled:

"The child was hiding in the room when the crime happened. Didn't the police officer ask him for any clues?"

Sato replied:

"Predecessors certainly tried, but the lawyer's son was too young and in deep fear at the time."

"His memory on the day of the crime was actually confused, so it was impossible to get any valuable clues from the little eyewitness."

Finally, the Mazda stopped in front of the house of the lawyer's son who lived alone.

Unlike the families of the first two victims, the lawyer's son, who had dyed yellow hair, was unwilling to cooperate and his attitude was extremely arrogant:

"Useless police officer! Get out of here! I won't waste my time with you!"

"In Liben, even gangsters are much more useful than police officers!"

He scolded Sato who had just got off the car like a gangster.

After saying this, the lawyer's son turned around and went back home.
