Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 207 The Director's Two Faces

The director snorted coldly and signaled his subordinates with his eyes to arrest the man:

[I've been busy for two days but still have no clues. No matter if the little ghost is the criminal or not, I'll use him to vent my anger first! ]

"and many more!"

Fearing that his colleague might make a big mistake, the young police officer gave a wailing warning and quickly ran to his leader to remind him:

"Boss, this man cannot be arrested."

"what happened?"

The local director still looked disapproving.

After taking another look at Lin Xuan, the young police officer confirmed that he was the promising detective mentioned in the report.

"Because he is Lin Xuan, who scared away Kaito Kidd a while ago and helped the Metropolitan Police Department solve many important cases."

“Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan?!”

The director's face turned extremely pale in an instant.

Even the two policemen who almost attacked Lin Xuan were so scared that they stepped back.

They had heard of the detective's name, and they knew that Lin Xuan was a big shot who was highly regarded and wooed by the top police officers.

"you……"

The director quickly changed his words and tried to force a stiff smile on his face:

"Are you Lin Xuan?"

Lin Xuan sighed helplessly:

"Do you want me to contact the Superintendent of Police and have Moroboshi prove it to you personally?"

I don't like to be too ostentatious because I'm too lazy to deal with such occasions, but no matter how low-key I act, it is difficult for people with abilities to be concealed.

"No, of course not!"

The director's face was filled with an overly bright smile, and there was a hint of fear in his voice:

"The sudden visit of the famous detective has brought glory to the police station. I hope your famous reasoning can guide us to solve the case."

The police officers from the local police station changed their expressions and humbly invited Lin Xuan to the reception room.

What is even more abstract is that all the police officers in the station were ordered to put down their work and stand in a row in front of Lin Xuan.

"It is an honor for everyone to have a famous detective visit the police station. Welcome Detective Lin Xuan!"

Before the director finished speaking, the other police officers shouted in unison:

"Welcome, Detective!"

Lin Xuan was stunned.

[No wonder Li Ben is such a useless police officer, there are so many despicable people among them]

He ordered the director with a look of disdain:

"Stop using this useless nonsense and let them do what they need to do."

At this time, the cell phone rang. It was Sato calling.

Miwako found out the information Lin Xuan needed in a short period of time. The girl's full name was Mayumi Tombase, and she was indeed his lawyer girlfriend.

And according to household registration information, Mayumi Togase lives in this small town!

The director standing by was afraid that Lin Xuan had not forgiven him yet, and the smile on his face was awkward and stiff.

"Wife, you are amazing! I will continue investigating the case here, and we will go to the hot springs together next month."

Even after the call ended, Sato still held the phone to his ear.

The aloof policewoman was thankful that they were talking remotely so that the young detective wouldn't notice her shy appearance.

[I hope that my relationship with that child can be further improved through the hot spring trip]

The high school detective is so outstanding that he attracts a large number of suitors. Even Sato feels a sense of crisis, fearing that the young girls will snatch the detective away.

At the same time, Lin Xuan showed the director the photos sent by Sato:

"This girl's name is Mayumi Tombase, and she should still be living in this town."

"I suspect she is involved in the disappearance of the president's body. Help me find her detailed information."

The director nodded quickly and asked:

"Shall I summon her to the police station for your questioning?"

Ten minutes ago, the director still regarded Lin Xuan as a criminal, but since he knew the detective's identity, he would treat every word of Lin Xuan as an order to execute.

Lin Xuan shook his head:

"Don't let her realize that she's being targeted."

There is more than one criminal, and simply arresting the lawyer's girlfriend may not allow the body to be retrieved immediately.

"correct."

Before the director trotted out of the meeting room, the detective reminded:

"I haven't forgotten that you treat me as a prisoner and want to arrest me."

The director, who was afraid that Lin Xuan would complain to the higher-ups, immediately broke out in a few drops of sweat. He hurriedly explained:

"Great Detective, this is a misunderstanding. What just happened was..."

Lin Xuan interrupted impatiently:

"Okay, go investigate now, and don't mess it up again."

……

Two hours later, Conan and his friends returned to the Fumaru mansion in Beika Town.

Under his wife's instructions, Maori moved the bookcase, and the heavy door leading to the secret vault appeared in front of everyone.

In addition to conventional fingerprints, facial and iris recognition are also required to enter the vault.

Trying to use a drill to break into the door and force entry might even detonate the batteries installed in the giant door and burn everything in the vault to ashes.

Even if the blackmailer offered a whopping 30 million, Madam Fowan would have no choice but to accept it in order to get the billions of dollars behind the door.

The hired detective was afraid that the criminal would not keep his word, so he paid the ransom and asked Kogoro Mouri to help find the body.

Jirokichi touched the huge door and was inspired:

"When I was protecting the gems from Kaito Kidd, I should have also created a door that could only be opened by my biological features."

"Even if a thief disguises himself as me, he can't open the door and steal the gems."

The wife, who had no feelings for her husband and only wanted to open the door as soon as possible to transfer the huge illegal money, spoke in a sad voice:

"If the body is not recovered soon, I will never see the photos of how I met and fell in love with my husband again."

The lawyer immediately said:

"Madam, I will go to the company to collect the old banknotes that the prisoner needs."

Conan pretended to be very curious:

"Aunt Fowan, this door is really high-tech."

"Many of your friends must know that you installed such an advanced door lock in your villa, right?"

The money in the vault is either tax evasion or bribery. In short, this money cannot withstand inspection.

Of course, the Fumaru couple would not let outsiders know about the existence of the gold vault. She shook her head and said to the elementary school student who looked harmless:

"Only Mr. Lawyer knows that we installed this door in the villa."

The lawyer felt a little flustered for a moment, and despite his efforts to cover up, Conan still confirmed that he was the criminal.

[The only person who could think of using a corpse to blackmail someone at such a high price is someone who knows how much the corpse means to his wife.]

【Lawyers are blackmailers! 】

Conan was secretly pleased with himself as he observed the criminal.

[Although I don't know what Lin Xuan wants to investigate by staying in that town, I have confirmed the identity of the criminal! ]

[This time, the speed of solving the case will not be inferior to his! 】

At the same time, the local director returned to the reception room and reported the investigation results to Lin Xuan, who was leisurely drinking tea.

They also found out that Mayumi Tohase has a boyfriend who is a lawyer and works at Fukumaru Company.

As for Muzase himself, he worked as a waiter in a bar in the small town of Ni-chome.

It was Muze's turn to be on duty on the day when President Fumaru disappeared, but she specifically discussed with her colleagues and changed shifts for that day.

The Director asked excitedly:

"Muze has a whole day. Could it be that she was the one who killed the president and hid the body?"

Lin Xuan shook his head.

A driver who doesn't want to lose his job would not take the blame for someone else, not to mention that mind reading has confirmed that it was the truck driver who hit and killed President Fowan.

"What's the name of the bar? I'll go see for myself."
