Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 77: So what if I expose myself? I have an alibi!

Tanaka was forced into a dilemma by Lin Xuan's words and was unable to make a decision for a while.

[We can’t let Tomoko speak, otherwise the show will be in vain]

[If you can stop it, you will be suspected by the detective]

Just as the murderer was hesitating, the deceased's best friend revealed all his bad deeds:

"This guy's medical school fees for six years were all earned by Mitsuko from working part-time. Tanaka hypocritically promised Mitsuko that they would get married when he got a stable job in a big hospital."

"Who would have thought that this beast would soon hook up with the dean's daughter, and Guangzi would become an obstacle for him to climb up the social ladder, so..."

Ms. Tomoko's voice choked again, but she still clenched her fists and accused Tanaka:

"This guy is going to take advantage of this trip to kill Guang Zi!"

After hearing this, the way the onlookers looked at Tanaka changed.

His image in everyone's mind changed from a loving man who was deeply saddened by the death of his girlfriend to an ungrateful villain.

[You damn bitch, I clearly only invited Guangzi, but you insisted on coming along and ruining my plans! ]

Feeling guilty, he hurriedly retorted:

"Nonsense, Guangzi and I broke up just because of our incompatibility!"

"By the way, you also have a motive for killing Guangzi, right?"

He looked at the detectives again and bit back:

"Tomoko borrowed 600,000 yen from Mitsuko. If Mitsuko gets into trouble, the money will naturally be forgotten."

"Besides, I was drinking at the island bar at 9 o'clock last night. How could I have time..."

[Oh no! How come these words were leaked in advance! ]

Tanaka had planned long in advance to exonerate himself. He did not leave the bar at all times when the victim was drowned. Many staff members and tourists were able to help testify.

The perfect alibi was the murderer's trump card that allowed him to fight back against several famous detectives, but this trump card should have been brought out when the police questioned the detectives.

Conan sneered.

[It seems that this time it is a proof question]

Heiji directly took advantage of Tanaka's loophole and attacked:

"How can you be sure that the victim died at 9pm? After Uncle Maori performed the autopsy, none of us have estimated the time of death, and the forensic doctor is still on the way."

Tanaka was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat.

[This little devil is so sharp]

He could only bite the bullet and say:

"I also took a forensic medicine course when I was in the medical department. Based on the swelling of Guangzi's body, I guess she met with an accident around 9 o'clock last night."

Heiji pretended to be convinced, but he also came to a conclusion.

[This guy is the murderer]

At this time, the criminal police and forensic doctor from the local police station finally arrived.

Lin Xuan recently solved a serial murder case and helped the Osaka police a lot. Kogoro is a famous detective, and Heiji is the son of a high-ranking official in the Osaka prefectural police force.

Therefore, not only did no one at the local police station blame them for examining the body without authorization, but they also said that they would provide the detectives with all conveniences to facilitate the investigation.

The forensic doctor conducted a detailed examination of the victim's body and estimated the time of death to be between 8:40 and 9:20 last night.

The most likely perpetrators of the murder are undoubtedly the victim's best friend and boyfriend. The police politely "suggested" that the two not leave the hotel room for the time being.

They then retrieved all the surveillance footage on the island and invited detectives to check it out together.

During the time frame of her presumed death, Tomoko appeared in surveillance footage from multiple areas on the island.

Tanaka started drinking in the bar at 8 o'clock in the evening and did not leave until 11 o'clock.

Maori Kogoro reasoned again:

"It's sad to point fingers at a beautiful lady, but the murderer is undoubtedly Miss Tomoko."

"She became extremely unstable after killing her friend, so she wandered around the island."

"As for the motive, it's naturally because of the debts."

The local police detective with a flat head really thought this was the truth, and he quickly flattered him:

"You are indeed the legendary Maori detective! What about the evidence?"

Mao Li scratched his hair and said awkwardly:

"Haha, I haven't thought of any evidence yet."

As for Conan and Hattori, they both tacitly believed that the murderer was Dr. Tanaka, and the real murderer had already blew himself up on the beach.

[But even if we know he is the murderer, we still lack evidence]

[The most important thing is to crack the alibi. Since Tanaka never left the bar, how could he throw his girlfriend into the sea and drown her at the same time?]

[Is there an accomplice? Did Tanaka and Ms. Tomoko deliberately act out a scene to help the other party eliminate suspicion? ]

Conan had no clue, and he couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Xuan.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, it was a fact that Lin Xuan could always solve the case before him.

He Ye also whispered to Lin Xuan:

"The human heart is so scary, Lin Xuan, have you figured out who the murderer is?"

[No need to make inferences, all the black people will expose themselves in front of me]

Lin Xuan nodded slightly and suggested:

"I think everyone's reasoning is still lacking evidence at this stage. Why not ask the victim's friends and boyfriend? Maybe we can find new clues."

When questioned by the police and detectives, Tomoko said she had not been able to contact Mitsuko since yesterday evening.

Out of concern for her best friend, she searched back and forth between various areas of the island.

As for Tanaka, he did not reveal any flaws this time when faced with probing inquiries. Being asked to stay alone in the hotel room actually helped him calm down.

Tanaka also specifically said:

"Mr. Detective, I know the law. Of course I would never do anything illegal."

To Conan and Hattori, this was a blatant provocation.

[Asshole! Don't even think you can escape legal sanctions]

[I will definitely shatter your alibi! ]

Although he pretended to be heartbroken, Tian was actually very happy.

[I thought these detectives were so powerful, but they turned out to be a bunch of losers]

[I was able to fool the famous detective on my first crime. I am such a genius]

[Finally I got rid of that yellow-faced woman. I will propose to the dean's daughter soon. Then I will be able to join the upper class! ]

Tanaka seemed to have imagined the luxurious life he would enjoy after marrying into the wife's family.

It was Lin Xuan who brought him back to reality with an unexpected remark:

"Your alibi is very tricky. How did you do it?"

The air in the room seemed to freeze in an instant, and everyone looked at Lin Xuan with disbelief.

Conan and Heiji were both confused.

[As expected, Lin Xuan also knew that the murderer was Tanaka]

[But who would directly ask the murderer about his modus operandi? ]

[Is Lin Xuan's brain broken? ]

Tanaka tried hard to maintain his emotions and not let himself laugh out loud.

He pretended to be angry and threatened Lin Xuan fiercely:

"Don't go too far, kid!"

"I was drinking at the bar last night, and the surveillance camera saw it all clearly!"

"If you dare to slander me again, I will find a lawyer to sue you as soon as I get back! Have you heard of lawyer Eri Kisaki?"

"The undefeated queen of the legal profession also has dealings with our hospital!"

Hearing this familiar name, Maori and his daughter couldn't help but look at each other.

[I didn’t expect that Dr. Tanaka actually knew my mother]

Doesn't he know that's my wife?

In fact, the murderer was not really aware of this relationship.
