Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

The pale woman looked around in panic, as if someone was watching her near the church.

In the end, she compromised with the prisoner:

"As long as you can return your husband, I will give you 30 million."

After the call ended, without waiting for Mao Li to ask, the president's wife took the initiative to explain:

"He really knew that I hired a detective, and he also said that the ransom would be increased to 30 million as a punishment."

"It has to be ready within eighteen hours, and he will contact me."

Upon learning that his old friend had been killed in an accident and his body was being used for blackmail, Jirokichi could not help but clench his fists and curse under his breath:

"Damn prisoner! You must pay the price."

Conan secretly looked at the president's wife, with suspicion in his eyes.

[She didn’t see the body with her own eyes, but believed her husband was dead based on a few phone calls. I’m afraid she didn’t have much affection for the president.]

[Even so, he agreed to pay the huge ransom without hesitation]

[Does the corpse have other uses? ]

Lin Xuan had already confirmed that the lawyer was involved in the blackmail call, but when his wife received the call from the criminal, the other party was standing next to them.

[It seems there is at least one accomplice]

The lawyer was indeed praying in his heart.

[As long as I can get 30 million before the detective notices, I can immigrate abroad with Mayumi-chan and live happily ever after.]

Of course, on the surface, he still pretended to be worried and hesitant:

"Madam, should we go back and prepare now? I'm afraid it will take too long."

The president's wife nodded immediately:

"You must return to the company immediately to prepare. We must retrieve the body as soon as possible, otherwise once it rots, we will not be able to..."

Once again, she stopped short in the middle of her sentence because of the presence of the detective.

But this only aroused the curiosity of Maori and others.

Conan pretended to be innocent and asked:

"Auntie Fowan, maybe Uncle President is still alive."

"In a hurry to recover the body, because the funeral has been scheduled?"

Kogoro also said:

"It will be difficult for a detective to do anything if the client is not honest. Madam, in order to find the president as soon as possible, please stop hiding anything."

The middle-aged woman was filled with regret.

[I should have known better than to ask them to come. Once the old man evaded billions of taxes and the detectives found out]

[Even if the door is opened with the old man's biometrics, the money will be taken away by the tax department]

She could only bite the bullet and say:

"My husband built a small safe in the villa, and all the photos of our happy times as a couple were placed inside. Only his biometric features could pass the identification."

The lady sighed and continued:

"So I have to get the body back before it starts to rot."

Of course, Conan couldn't believe the words of this virtuous wife.

[There must be something worth far more than 30 million hidden in the vault]

[That’s why the lady was easily captured by the kidnappers]

Conan finally figured out why the criminal dared to use the corpse for blackmail.

If a company president is kidnapped, most family members will willingly pay the ransom in order to keep their loved ones alive.

If paying a huge ransom only results in a corpse, the victim's relatives will probably hesitate to pay the money.

[But the criminal said from the beginning that he would exchange money for the president's body]

An idea suddenly occurred to Conan.

[That is to say, the blackmailer is an acquaintance who knows that only the president's biological characteristics can open the vault! ]

Despite his quick thinking, he was still far behind Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan already knew who the criminal was, but he still didn't know how the body buried in the abandoned church ended up in the hands of the lawyer.

As for Mori and Jirokichi, they are still far away from the truth of the incident.

The president's trusted lawyer looked anxious:

"Even if our company wants to prepare 30 million old banknotes, it will take time. I want to go back and prepare as soon as possible."

Maori also felt that there would be no gain from continuing to waste time in this small town, so it would be better to return to Beika Town as soon as possible.

Lin Xuanbian, who had a phone call to make, took the initiative to suggest:

"Since time is of the essence, you two should go ahead. I will take this guy to the nearby police station to surrender."

The driver, who was still kneeling on the ground and making a gesture of repentance, begged for mercy after hearing this:

"Please let me go, it was an accident..."

Lin Xuan kicked him lightly to make the guy keep quiet.

The president's wife was afraid that she would scare away Kidd's detectives and discover the huge amount of money left over from tax evasion, and the lawyer was also afraid that the longer he spent with Lin Xuan, the easier it would be to be exposed.

Then the lady nodded and said:

"Then please send the bastard who killed my husband to the police station. We will go back and prepare the ransom first."

"I want to stay with Brother Lin Xuan too!"

Conan said something that surprised everyone.

Maori looked at him suspiciously and asked in confusion:

"When did you become so close to this brat?"

The Death God Elementary School Student tried hard to look innocent:

"Brother Lin Xuan is the famous detective who scared Kid away. I want to learn from him."

Of course Conan does not believe that Lin Xuan is more capable than himself. He wants to stay because he suspects that Lin Xuan has discovered clues that he has not grasped.

[We can't give him the opportunity to investigate alone! ]

[As long as the amount of evidence is equal, my reasoning will definitely lead to the truth! ]

Before finding out the truth, the smart Conan decided to follow Lin Xuan closely.

But Lin Xuan would not keep around any threat that might expose his abilities.

So he began to praise Kogoro:

"Conan, don't look down on Detective Mori. He is the famous detective in the whole country. If Detective Mori was willing to show his true strength, Kid would have been arrested long ago!"

[This kid is very smart]

Kogoro immediately felt a little dizzy, and subconsciously raised his head and chest and adjusted his tie.

Lin Xuan continued:

"Kudo Shinichi was previously touted by the media as a famous detective. In my opinion, his abilities are not even comparable to Mr. Mori's."

Conan pursed his lips desperately, trying to suppress his anger.

[It's fine if you're flattering an old man whose only useful neck is his, but you're actually belittling me? ]

[Just wait! I will find out the truth of this case first! ]

Lin Xuan declined Conan's request to go with him:

"Just stay with the famous detective and watch and learn carefully, you will definitely benefit a lot."

Conan wanted to say something, but Kogoro grabbed him by his clothes with his big hands and lifted him up.

Conan, fearing the blow of love on his head, had no choice but to accept his fate.

In this way, the others left the town first, and after the blackmailer left, Lin Xuan had the opportunity to make that call.

He first glared at the driver who had hit and killed the president with a knife-like look, and asked coldly:

"Tell me yourself, do you have a chance to escape from me?"

The driver shook his head hurriedly. The pain made him remember that his arm was broken when he tried to escape and was caught by the detective.

"Then stand up and lead the way to the police station in town!"

On the way to the police station, Lin Xuan dialed a familiar number.

As soon as the call was connected, he couldn't help but tease:

"Honey, are you busy?"
