Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Politicians are always in the habit of lying to hide their true thoughts and feelings from the public.

But no one can deceive Lin Xuan.

[Damn, this kid is not simple, but how did he suspect me? ]

[Could it be that Pinggang anticipated that I would silence him and left a backup plan in advance? ]

[It must be like this, no wonder the motor disappeared]

The congressman's secretary gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his anger towards the blackmailer.

[We must find a way to find out how much high school students have mastered so far]

He did not realize that his attitude towards Lin Xuan had changed from condescending contempt to fear.

In fact, Lin Xuan still doesn't know the specific method of murder, but the real murderer will tell the detective personally.

"Of course, other people involved besides you also have the opportunity to use the device to kill people at a distance."

Lin Xuan began to trick the secretary into recalling his methods of committing the crime.

At the same time, Conan took a taxi to Seiji Ishimoto's company.

President Ishimoto's trusted secretary, Sachiko Tanaka, stood nervously in the corner of the parking lot, with a long-haired man leaning next to her.

Conan quietly hid behind a black car and observed.

The two were arguing about something, and the long-haired man had a painful look on his face:

"Sachiko, as you know, the day after tomorrow is my father's death anniversary."

The man clenched his fists and continued:

"I really can't stand it anymore. I really want to kill that old thief Ishimoto right now."

Secretary Tanaka hugged the long-haired man tightly, buried her face in his chest and persuaded him firmly:

"We have to be patient. The police and detectives haven't stopped investigating the shooting. If we act now, we will definitely fail."

Conan secretly took out his cell phone and took a picture of the suspicious man.

Secretary Tanaka was obviously afraid that the secret would be exposed, so after the hug she advised the man to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing the long-haired man walking out of the parking lot, Conan quietly followed him.

The Elementary School Student Death followed the man all the way to the shop where he worked part-time, a ramen restaurant not far from Ishimoto.

Seeing the long-haired man enter the kitchen, Conan also walked into the noodle shop.

He gently pulled the corner of the waitress's clothes who was wiping the table and asked in a pinched voice:

"Sister, what's the name of that long-haired guy? Does he work in this ramen restaurant?"

The waiter didn't answer at first, but looked at Conan with suspicion.

The latter had no choice but to lie:

"An older sister I know thought he was very handsome, so she asked me to find out some information about him."

Hearing this, the waiter burst out laughing:

"Shibata-senpai does work in our store. His full name is Shibata Ritsuichi."

"But please tell that older sister that Shibata-senpai has a girlfriend and they are very much in love."

[They are indeed a couple]

[Shibata wanted to kill Ishimoto for revenge, and his girlfriend happened to be President Ishimoto's secretary]

[The shooting incident should be a long-planned action]

Conan thought about this while quickly leaving the noodle shop.

He went to the public restroom, entered the cubicle, tuned the butterfly voice changer to a large sound frequency, and then dialed a number.

"Officer Takagi, I need you to help me investigate someone, Ritsuichi Shibata."

"There is also the relationship between his father and President Ishimoto. Also, please keep this matter secret from Lin Xuan."

Conan did not contact Megure again because he was afraid that the police inspector would provide the clues discovered by Kudo Shinichi to Lin Xuan in order to solve the case as soon as possible.

[Lin Xuan, you are probably still wasting time at the shooting scene]

[And I have found key clues and new suspects]

[This time I will definitely find out the truth before you! ]

But Conan didn't know that he was following a wrong clue.

On the contrary, during this period, Lin Xuan not only knew the identity of the murderer, but also determined the murderer's motives and methods through dialogue and mind reading.

The congressman treated his secretary as his own son. Not only did he make a will early on to leave all his property to his secretary after his death, he even trained his secretary to be his successor.

But at the same time, the congressman is also a person who is extremely greedy for power. Although he was ready to retire a few years ago, he has always been unwilling to give up his power.

The secretary, who was becoming more and more powerful, felt dissatisfied. He wanted to make progress too much, so he conspired with Pinggang to get rid of his mentor.

The secretary had previously fixed a pistol with a motor-linked trigger and a sensor to the machine that emitted the spotlight.

As a secretary, the murderer personally arranged all the procedures for the congressman to attend the banquet.

After the ordinary lights in the meeting hall are turned off, the only spotlight will move along with the light-tracking microphone on the congressman's chest.

The light machine with the pistol fixed on it is equivalent to a killing machine that can automatically aim, and the bullet will accurately hit the heart of the congressman behind the microphone!

The secretary pressed the remote control when the congressman passed by President Ishimoto, disguising the incident as if the murderer shot Ishimoto but accidentally killed the congressman.

He then threw himself on his leader, pretending to be loyal enough to take a bullet for the congressman.

At the same time, Pinggang rushed into the lighting control room, took the pistol and quickly left the venue.

Late that night, the secretary killed Pinggang at the agreed location and disguised it as an accidental fall.

After killing the person, he only found the pistol that fired the bullet on the body, but could not find the motor connected to the trigger.

At that time, the murderer comforted himself that Mada was probably dealt with by Pinggang.

However, facing the dignified high school detective, the secretary had new suspicions.

[Pinggang guessed that I wanted him to be a scapegoat, so he deliberately left a backup plan to deal with me]

[Lin Xuan found something Pinggang left behind, so he suspected me]

The conversation between the two across the cordon was actually a test of each other.

The secretary wanted to use the acting skills he had honed after entering politics to find out what Lin Xuan knew.

However, he was unable to get anything out of the murderer, which made him rethink the high school student detective in front of him:

[This face is really good, just like an idol from Johnny's. If he gets into politics, he will be able to get a lot of votes just by relying on his looks.]

[But this kid doesn’t come from a political family, and he was able to prevent all the traps and temptations in my words without any leaks.]

The verbal test failed, and the murderer actually wanted to kill:

[Anyone who might hinder me from gaining power should die, no matter if it’s my mentor, a blackmailer, or a mere high school student!!!]

He pretended to give in:

"I admit that what you said makes some sense. We must not let the murderer of the congressman go unpunished."

"But the decision of the top leaders was unanimous in order to quickly close the case and reduce the impact of public opinion on the ruling party."

The actor sighed and continued:

"How about this, we'll meet at nine o'clock tonight. You sort out the doubts in this case and I'll explain it to my superiors."

The other police officers present looked at Lin Xuan with admiration.

Although Inspector Liben can make most criminals nervous, they are always submissive in front of politicians.

Because of this, no police officer dared to argue when faced with the angry rebuke from the congressman's secretary.

Lin Xuan, who was just a high school student, was not afraid of the powerful and stood up to argue with the congressman's secretary.
