Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Chapter 99 No Evidence? Let the Murderer Create It

At nine o'clock that evening, Lin Xuan came to the hotel to meet with the congressman's secretary as agreed.

The murderer changed his arrogant attitude during the day and said to Lin Xuan in a sincere tone:

"The congressman is the greatest support and support in my life. I have long regarded him as a father."

Lin Xuan suppressed his smile and watched the other person's performance calmly.

The secretary recalled the past with a painful look on his face:

"If the murderer is someone else, we must not let the real murderer go unpunished!"

"But the attitude of the party leaders is to calm public opinion as soon as possible. Unless other solid evidence is found, the Metropolitan Police Department will still be pressured to close the case."

"So please tell me all the clues you have."

The murderer decided to go all the way and kill Lin Xuan who dared to doubt him.

But before killing anyone, he had to first confirm how much information the detective had obtained, and whether Lin Xuan had passed the clues he had found on to the police and other detectives.

Lin Xuan slowly took out a transparent evidence bag from his backpack, which contained a conspicuous yellow motor.

The congressman's body trembled violently, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

[Damn you Pinggang! You really left clues to deal with me! ]

Lin Xuan pretended not to notice anything unusual. He explained in detail that the entire lighting machine had been modified into a killing machine that could automatically aim, and that the murderer used a remote control to complete the long-distance shooting method.

The secretary couldn't help but reach for the piano wire in his pocket.

[Lin Xuan is indeed no ordinary person]

[We must not let him leave alive! ]

But the detective's next words made the real murderer loosen his grip on the tool.

"I have already guessed who the murderer is, but unfortunately I haven't found any evidence yet."

The secretary was stunned for a moment, and then his brain started to work rapidly:

[If Lin Xuan knew that I was the murderer, he would definitely not have the courage to come to the appointment]

[He suspected that someone else set up the automatic gun mechanism? ]

Lin Xuan continued:

"I think the whole case was staged by President Ishimoto himself. He had sufficient motive to commit the crime."

[Ishimoto? What is this detective talking about? ]

“While Ishimoto’s products have made a lot of money thanks to government subsidies, Takata, who is influential in the ruling party, is pushing for more radical economic policies.”

"Once the lawmakers' proposal is passed, the government will cancel the subsidies, and high-quality foreign goods will flood the market, causing a huge impact on the Ishimoto Group."

The congressman's secretary suddenly felt his throat dry and he suppressed his excitement and pretended to be angry:

"What? The criminal is actually Ishimoto Seiji?!"

Lin Xuan nodded:

"Except for President Ishimoto, those who have the motive do not have the opportunity to set up an automatic shooting device, and those who have the opportunity to set up a device do not have the motive to kill the congressman."

"So he must be the murderer."

Lin Xuan sighed and continued:

"After hearing my reasoning, Inspector Megure has sent people to secretly investigate the president. As long as they can find the remote control, they can convict Ishimoto."

"Unfortunately, it will take time to apply for a search warrant, so the police can only send someone to follow him first."

"We can only conduct a carpet search of Ishimoto's hospital suite, home, and office after we get the search warrant tomorrow morning."

The murderer changed his mind.

[The police are tracking Ishimoto. Killing the detective at this time will tell everyone that the real murderer is someone else]

[Besides, this kid has already passed the clues to the police, so it’s useless even if he’s killed.]

[Why not take advantage of it and let Lin Xuan help me get away with it! ]

The secretary's face was filled with endless pain and anger. He gritted his teeth and said:

"All of Councillor Takada's policies are for the people. If Ishimoto is really the murderer, I will use all my connections to bring him to ruin!"

In fact, the real murderer still doesn't really trust Lin Xuan.

[This guy looked arrogant when we first met at the venue]

[Now he seems extremely peaceful, could this change in attitude be a trick? ]

Lin Xuan suppressed his nausea and forced a smile:

"At the shooting scene, I was eager to investigate the case and said a few excessive words, but I was not targeting anyone intentionally. Please don't misunderstand me."

The secretary nodded and said righteously:

"I understand. I also want to thank you for finding out the suspicion of President Ishimoto."

Lin Xuan lowered his voice and said:

“In fact, I also have the dream of entering politics, but I have no one to guide me.”

The congressman's secretary was delighted:

"The political world needs people like you! When you graduate from school, I will personally write you a letter of recommendation to join the ruling party!"

[I thought the detective was a tough guy]

[It turns out that he is no different from those useless police officers! ]

The real murderer completely let down his guard against Lin Xuan.

Late that night, a sneaky figure sneaked into Ishimoto's company.

The next afternoon, Lin Xuan asked Inspector Megure to gather all persons related to the case at the crime scene.

Conan also panicked when he saw Ritsuichi Shibata and Sachiko Tanaka appear at the scene with uneasy faces.

[Although I know they are the murderers, I don’t have any solid evidence yet]

[Is it possible that Lin Xuan will get there first again this time? ]

The first detective to make a deduction was Maori Kogoro:

"I've already said that the gunman who shot the congressman missed the stairs and fell to his death."

"I specifically asked the police officer of the Identification Division, and the rifling of the bullet that shot Masao Takada matched the pistol found in Hiraoka's body."

Conan couldn't help but shake his head.

[Uncle, you can become a famous detective because of me]

Seeing Xiaolan clinging to Lin Xuan like a little bird, Conan made up his mind:

[This time I must defeat Lin Xuan in the name of Kudo Shinichi! ]

"That's not the case. Hiraoka Jiro is just a scapegoat for the murderer!"

Maori was furious.

[It’s fine that my reasoning was slapped in the face by Lin Xuan]

[A primary school student living in my house dares to challenge me, a famous detective? 】

Maori's fist was about to hit Conan's head.

The Death God primary school student quickly moved out the big size:

"Brother Shinichi told me that he has figured out the murderer!"

Megure urged with great nostalgia:

"What's Kudo's reasoning? Tell me about it."

Kudo Shinichi had helped the Metropolitan Police Department solve many cases before, but suddenly one day this high school detective stopped being active.

If he hadn't received a call from the other party recently, Megure would even suspect that he had met with misfortune.

In fact, Conan only knows the suspect's motive for committing the crime, but has no actual evidence.

But when he saw the police bringing the terrified Ritsuichi Shibata to the crime scene, in order to prevent Lin Xuan from stealing the limelight, Conan had to speak out his reasoning first.

"Brother Shinichi said that the murderer is the secretary Tanaka Sachiko and her boyfriend Shibata Ritsuichi."

Kogoro couldn't help but let out a sigh.

[Ms. Tanaka actually has a boyfriend? ]

[Alas, it would be strange if there is no man with such a sweet look]

Secretary Tanaka and Shibata naturally vehemently denied it:

"We are not murderers. The murder of the MP has nothing to do with us."

"That guy named Kudo Shinichi actually slandered good people and asked him to come to Beika Town. I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

Conan continued to insist:

"Don't pretend, Shinichi-nii knows your secret."
