Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Conan raised his head and chest, smiling confidently and brightly:

"Well, last night I went to Professor Agasa's house to pick up my homework for the handicraft class, and I sent the details of this case to Brother Shinichi, and he immediately had a suspect."

Conan did not forget to add:

"Brother Shinichi used reasoning to help Inspector Megure identify the suspect, but Lin Xuan hasn't made any inferences yet."

Conan's face was filled with a smug look.

[Praise me, Lan, praise me now! ]

[Finally you understand, my reasoning is much better than that of the half-baked senior! ]

[As long as I get serious, Lin Xuan is no match for me! ]

Looking at the arrogant elementary school student, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh with sympathy.

After confirming that Kudo Shinichi had contact with Conan, Xiaolan was not excited but very disappointed:

[Sure enough, the senior is not Shinichi. I was so stupid to mistake the senior for Shinichi before.]

[Reasoning idiot, after all, I am your childhood friend. You would rather discuss the case with Conan than contact me occasionally.]

[Forget it, this is just fine]

[After all, I like my senior, and if I have contact with someone of the opposite sex who is fooling around somewhere, he might misunderstand me.]

Xiaolan has no interest in reasoning and solving cases, she just wants someone to be by her side, and Lin Xuan is such a person.

President Ishimoto showed a hesitant look on his face.

[Admitted meeting with Ping Gang, the police will definitely uncover the tax evasion through this clue]

[But without police protection, what if I also die under Pinggang’s gun...]

Lin Xuan spoke at this time:

"President, please do not forget that the deceased was a very influential member of Congress in the political world."

"If the deceased's friends in the political circle knew that you did not cooperate with the police investigation, I am afraid that the development of your company would also be affected."

This sentence touched Ishimoto's sore spot. As the president of the company, he was most afraid of suppression from the political circles.

But just as Ishimoto was about to confess, Secretary Tanaka hurriedly dissuaded him:

"President, if the police knew about that, the company's business this quarter..."

Although he appears to be loyal and considerate of the company's leadership.

But Sachiko Tanaka has two faces.

[Even if tax evasion is exposed now, the impact on the company will be limited]

[Only when the company continues to expand and runs out of funds can the media be informed, so as to deal a fatal blow to the old man Ishimoto]

Lin Xuan couldn't help but look at Secretary Tanaka twice more.

[The trusted secretary hopes the boss dies soon]

[Miss, you are suspicious]

Ishimoto did not listen to his secretary's advice. He shook his head and said:

"Compared to the impact of exposure, the criticism from the political world is what we cannot bear."

Ishimoto then confessed to Megure that he was being harassed by Jiro Hiraoka for tax evasion.

"On the 21st of last month, Pinggang asked me to meet him at a bar. He demanded 9 million yuan in hush money and would not allow me to bargain."

"I thought the price was unreasonable and turned him down."

[Asshole! You extorted so much in one go! ]

[I'll find my friends on the street to kill you for less than 300 million! ]

[I didn't expect you to send a blackmail letter and even want to shoot me]

[Now you have no place in this country after shooting a congressman]

Lin Xuan looked at the wrinkled president and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

[The president is not a simple person either, he even has friends who are willing to hire someone to kill someone]

"cough cough"

Kogoro straightened his tie that was torn by the president and said:

"Inspector Megure, the case is now clear."

"Hiraoka Jiro held a grudge after failing to blackmail President Ishimoto. He first sent a threatening letter and later even sneaked into the banquet venue with a gun."

"He wanted to shoot Ishimoto, but due to poor marksmanship, the bullet grazed the president's shoulder, and ended up accidentally killing the congressman who was standing next to the president at the time."

Conan seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water in an instant:

[Why did the uncle agree with my reasoning?]

[I haven't got any conclusive evidence yet, and I feel that this reasoning is not rigorous enough]

Megure was about to express his opinion.

At this moment, the door of the high-end ward was pushed open from the outside, and Sato rushed in and said:

"Inspector, we found Jiro Hiraoka, but he's dead."

……

Jiro Hiraoka's body was found in an abandoned building that was about to be demolished.

A young couple burning with desire wanted to have an affair on the third floor.

But as soon as they reached the second floor, they were frightened out of their wits by the body lying face up above the stairs.

The preliminary forensic examination concluded that the cause of death was the back of the head hitting the ground and causing death.

Pinggang even had a pistol on his waist, which further confirmed that he was the criminal who shot and killed the congressman.

Kogoro couldn't help but sneer at the funny way the corpse died:

"What an idiot! He actually fell to his death."

Megure said:

"Maybe he was in a trance after realizing he had accidentally killed a congressman, and the abandoned building had no lighting, so he accidentally stepped on empty space."

Congressman Takata has great influence in the ruling party. His superiors put pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department to solve the case within three days, but Megure found the murderer in less than a day.

Seeing the man who blackmailed him die tragically, President Ishimoto could not hide his joy:

"Humph, it's really a bargain for you to die so easily!"

However, Conan, who was the first to think that Jiro Hiraoka was suspicious, felt something was wrong.

[It's too smooth]

[As soon as the police started to suspect Pinggang, he died with the evidence]

[Rather than suicide out of fear of crime or accidental death, it seems more like a trap carefully set by the murderer]

Although Conan is determined to defeat Lin Xuan, he is also a detective who will pursue the truth at all costs.

"Uncle, Brother Xinyi only told the police to investigate Pinggang, but he didn't say that Pinggang was the murderer."

As soon as he finished saying this, Conan was hit hard on the head by a punch.

"If he's not the murderer, why should Inspector Megure investigate that brat? The detective game is over, Xiaolan, take him back to the office to do your homework!"

Having said that, Kogoro was about to chase Conan and his daughter away.

Kogoro forgot why he suddenly fell asleep last night, but he will never forget the admiration that Secretary Tanaka had for him.

[I'm so lucky! This cute girl is my fan]

[Now that the case is solved, Ms. Tanaka should have time to go to the bar]

【Hey, tonight...】

However, Lin Xuan's words shattered Mao Li's fantasy:

"In fact, I also think there are still many doubts in this case."

Conan looked at Lin Xuan with complicated eyes.

He really wanted to defeat Lin Xuan, but among all the people present, only Lin Xuan could prevent the police from closing the case for the time being.

Megure respectfully asked the savior who opposed the police:

"Suspicious point? Brother Lin Xuan, what do you mean?"

In the previous case, Lin Xuan could directly determine the identity of the murderer through mind reading.

However, the circumstances of this case are special, as everyone involved in the case has a secret in their hearts.

But judging from the president and the secretary's inner voices, neither of them seemed to be the murderer.

What's more, if Conan's case goes too smoothly, the real murderer will never be found.

Therefore, Lin Xuan could easily analyze that there were contradictions in the actions of Jiro Hiraoka, who was identified as the murderer.
