Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 208 The Truth Comes to Light

That evening, Lin Xuan came to a bar located in Ni-chome of the small town.

The lawyer girlfriend wore a miniskirt and a cute uniform with a bow and lace ruffles.

But in terms of cuteness, she is not worthy of being compared with Qingzi and Ye.

Therefore, Lin Xuan will not show mercy.

The detective sat on a chair next to the bar and spoke to his lawyer girlfriend:

"I heard that two days ago, a president from another place was hit and killed by a truck in this town, and his body disappeared."

The lawyer's girlfriend was surprised:

"Is there such a thing?"

But no matter how good one's acting skills are, one cannot deceive one's heart.

[I was at the scene and witnessed Fowan being hit and killed]

It turns out that the old lady was not the only witness to the car accident.

Lin Xuan remained calm and controlled the rhythm to ask question after question.

The lawyer's girlfriend thought he was just a customer who could be easily fooled and did not suspect anything.

Although he didn't say anything, Lin Xuan successfully grasped the ins and outs of the case through the waitress's thoughts.

It turns out that the lawyer had long coveted the wealth hidden in the vault by the president, and the Fowan couple dared not make a public announcement even though the huge amount of illegal money was lost.

And even if he only got one tenth, it would be enough for him and his girlfriend to live happily for the rest of their lives.

But the lawyer had neither the courage to kidnap nor the means to break through the biological security door to steal.

So he used the president's trust and his professional status as a lawyer to persuade the other party to make multiple preparations.

Once suspected by the tax department, the villa will definitely be searched, and the secret vault will only increase suspicion and will have to be forced to open.

It would be better to buy an apartment in the next town over to store the illegal money.

The day before yesterday, my lawyer girlfriend discussed changing shifts with her colleagues so that she could drive and follow President Fumaru to confirm the location of the apartment he purchased.

Once the president transfers the illegal income to the apartment and the couple lives in Beika-cho, the lawyer and his girlfriend will slowly find a way to steal the huge sum of money!

So Daijiro Fumaru came to the town alone in the name of investigation, but an accident happened.

Before he found an apartment he liked, the president was hit and killed by a truck while walking on the road.

Mayumi Tobase followed the company president in her car all the way and witnessed the president being hit and killed. She also saw the driver burying the body in the church.

When she frustratedly reported to her lawyer that her plan to kill the president had failed, her boyfriend was very excited.

The lawyer understood that as long as he had the president's body in his hands, the wife would pay even if he asked for a huge sum of money!

Otherwise, the lady won’t get a single cent of the huge illegal sum in the treasury.

This is why there was this bizarre case where the president went missing and the kidnappers used his body to demand a ransom.

Through this test, Lin Xuan even confirmed that the president's body was hidden in the freezer of his lawyer girlfriend's home.

That night, the president's wife received another call from the criminal with his voice changed.

The other party asked her to rush to the abandoned amusement park in the town at noon the next day with 30 million to conduct the transaction.

Although she was constantly fooled by the criminals, Mrs. Fowan had no choice but to pay the ransom.

If her husband's body is left to rot, the loss will be more than just 30 million.

As for the two kidnappers who planned all this, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep that night.

Everything is going according to plan. It won't be long before they immigrate overseas with new identities and live a life of luxury.

Conan was also so excited that he couldn't sleep.

When the Maori family was having dinner, he deliberately talked about the case in front of Xiaolan, and specifically mentioned that Lin Xuan was left alone in the next town.

Xiaolan, who was afraid that Lin Xuan would be taken away, frowned and asked Kogoro to take her with him tomorrow.

Conan was lying on the bed with a lot of thoughts in his mind and was filled with emotion.

[The criminal is undoubtedly the lawyer]

[The blackmailer will definitely show his hand when the transaction is made tomorrow! ]

[I will personally arrest him red-handed! ]

Thinking of this, Conan got up from the bed, turned on the light in the room and checked the condition of his equipment including his foot-strengthening shoes, football catapult belt, anesthesia watch, etc.

[Then he told everyone in front of Xiaolan that Kudo Shinichi had figured out the blackmailer's identity just by listening to the elementary school student's description! ]

He looked full of confidence, as if Lin Xuan could no longer be a threat to him.

The next day.

The group reunited at the villa and took the Fumaru family's luxury stretch limousine to the next town.

Everyone has their own agenda.

Kogoro glanced at the three suitcases on the back seat and said tentatively:

"It's not too late to notify the police now."

If Inspector Megure knew that Kogoro's client was blackmailed for 30 million and no one called the police, he would definitely scold his old partner.

The lawyer quickly said:

"The kidnappers found out before and hired a detective, so the ransom of 10 million yuan was directly increased to 30 million yuan."

"If our contact with the police is discovered, the criminal will definitely ask for a huge sum of money again. Besides, the police may not be able to help us."

Conan sneered.

[Keep pretending, I’ll arrest you in a few hours anyway]

Rather than losing 30 million, the lady was more afraid of calling the police and having her huge illegal gains discovered.

"Mr. Maori, my husband passed away two days ago. I just want to get the photos in the vault as soon as possible and bury him."

Now that the widow has expressed her opinion, Kogoro can no longer insist.

There was a hint of worry in Xiaolan's eyes.

[Did the senior not return to Beika Town to investigate the case? Did he stay at a friend's house last night? ]

Xiaolan certainly knew that Lin Xuan was so outstanding that he would have no shortage of suitors. If she couldn't quickly secure the relationship, the senior would definitely be snatched away by other girls.

But her good friend Yuanzi became her love rival, and her best friend even fell in love with Lin Xuan earlier than Xiaolan.

The girl didn't know how to handle her relationship with her best friend and her lover, which caused her to be stuck in the same place for some time.

Conan saw Xiaolan's conflicted expression along the way, and felt both sad and angry.

The fist hidden under the clothes had already turned purple.

【What's good about Lin Xuan? 】

[Lan! I will definitely prove it to you! That guy is useless except for his face.]

This case is a victory that Conan is determined to win.

On the way here, Mao Li had already informed Lin Xuan that they had made an appointment to trade at the entrance of the town's abandoned amusement park.

"Xiao Lan? Why are you here too?"

Lin Xuan, wearing a windbreaker, greeted the girl from afar. Hearing the caring voice, Xiaolan's cheeks immediately turned slightly red.

Conan is really fed up with the two showing off their affection in front of him:

"Brother Lin Xuan! You actually stayed in this town yesterday."

He spoke to Lin Xuan before Xiaolan did, and ran past his love rival to ask:

"Did you find any new clues?"

Lin Xuan certainly understood that Kudo Shinichi, whose girl was taken away, still hated him.

But he also pretended to be very familiar with Conan, and stroked Conan's hair while sighing softly:

"The criminal is very cunning this time. I haven't been able to confirm the target yet."

Conan showed off his acting skills and said helplessly:

"Alas, I never thought that even Brother Lin Xuan would be at a loss."

[Hahaha, Lin Xuan, you have come to this day too]

[Open your eyes and watch how a real detective arrests a criminal! ]
