Chapter 223 Is Mao Lilan the Murderer?

Police Department.

Lin Xinyi rushed here after receiving the call.

So is Belmode.

She was even more anxious than Lin Xinyi.

Although it can't be seen on the surface, as long as you recall the terrible driving skills that Belmode just played on the Tokyo Metropolitan Highway as the autumn famous mountain track...

Passenger Lin Xinyi, who was almost dizzy, knew that the lady driver must not be as calm as she appeared on the surface.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Xinyi would definitely have to figure out why Belmode cared so much about Mao Lilan.

But now, he doesn't think so anymore.

Because what happened to Mao Lilan was indeed not trivial.

According to her, when she was practicing boxing on the street, she accidentally knocked a small piece of cement away, and the cement just hit a young man named "Matsubara Kenichi" on the forehead from a distance.

As a result, this Mr. Matsubara Kenichi fell to the ground within a few seconds and was run over by a car.

Now the parents of the deceased Matsubara Kenichi have rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department.

After hearing the reconciliation of the eyewitnesses at the scene, they insisted that their son was knocked down by Mao Lilan with a stone before he fell on the road and was run over to death by a car.

In this way, Mao Lilan and the car driver who didn't stop the car became murderers in their eyes.

"You two guys, pay back my son's life!!"

When Lin Xinyi and Belmode rushed to the Metropolitan Police Department, they heard a roar from the office in the distance.

The roar was loud enough, but for some reason, it always felt a little less emotional.

It was the father of the deceased, Mr. Matsubara Katsura, who was criticizing the "murderer".

He was tall, burly, bear-like, and full of tendons, in stark contrast to his dead emaciated son.

"You, and this bastard driving!"

Katsura Matsubara cursed so hysterically, with a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth.

The mother of the child standing beside him, Mrs. Songyuan, stood there with a sad face and lowered her head wiping her tears.

As for Mao Lilan, and the car driver who ran over someone while driving, they were just two scolded doormats, standing there obediently.

"It's all because of you two...my son died."

"Tell me—"

Matsubara breathed out the pungent smell of alcohol, pointed at Mao Lilan and the car driver and cursed:

"How much are you two going to lose?!"

"Eh..." Mao Lilan and the driver of the car were slightly taken aback.

Mao Lilan did not expect that the father of the deceased would talk about money so directly.

And the car driver was unconvinced:

"Hey, hey... lose money? I didn't mean it!"

"I just came around the corner, and your son happened to be in the blind spot of my vision - who would have thought that there was someone lying there!"

The uncle driver also cursed:

"I was driving normally according to the rules, and this matter can't be counted on my head!"

"I really want to find... you go find the guy who knocked your son unconscious!"

He unceremoniously threw all the blame on Mao Lilan's head.

There's no way...Mao Lilan's appearance is too weak, and she speaks in a soft voice. At first glance, she looks like a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.

As soon as the driver uncle started arguing unreasonably, Mr. Matsubara Katsura, whose son had just died, involuntarily focused his firepower on Mao Lilan who dared not speak loudly.

"Yes, it's you stinky woman..."

Matsubara Katsura pointed at Mao Lilan's nose and said cursingly:

"It was you who knocked my son down with a stone, and he died!"

"You murderer, don't you know shame?!"

"I...yes, I'm sorry." Mao Lilan lowered her head in shame, her voice was extremely weak.

"Can't hear you! Louder!"

"Is it an apology with such a small voice?!"

Matsubara Katsutoku yelled unreasonably.

Lin Xinyi and Belmode, who had just rushed to the door of the office, frowned at the same time.

Especially Belmode... The way she looked at Katsura Matsubara suddenly cooled down.

And just when Matsubara Katsura continued to insult Mao Lilan, someone finally stood up.

It's Conan.

He knew he should keep a low profile.

But now, he can't bear it anymore:

"Sister Xiaolan is not a murderer!"

"When the small cement block flew across the road, it didn't have any strength left, and the dead Mr. Matsubara Kenichi was hit on the forehead or on the forehead—"

"The witnesses at the scene of these incidents can also see it!"

"If he fell because he was hit, shouldn't he fall backwards according to the direction of the force?"

"How could he have fallen forward onto the road?!"

Conan defended Mao Lilan with all his strength.

Belmode took a look at this clear-thinking and articulate kid with some surprise.

After seeing his chubby face that was so swollen that it hurt just looking at it, she also quickly moved her eyes away.

But at this time, Katsura Matsubara was angered by Conan's words:

"Nonsense! Witnesses say that the stone has no strength? How accurate can you see it with your eyes?"

"Also, who said that after being hit, you can only fall backwards?"

"My son's health is not good. Couldn't he have been hit on the head by a stone and then fell forward on the road in a daze?"

"This..." Conan was speechless at such an unreasonable statement.

Lin Xinyi stood up frowning and said:

"Mr. Matsubara, calm down."

"The cause of your son's death has not been investigated yet, please don't draw conclusions too early."

In his view, Matsubara's statement is indeed difficult to hold water:

A person's forehead is considered the hardest part of the whole body, and there is no one who is knocked down by a small stone and faints.

Uh... But if Miss Maori threw this stone...

That's hard to say.

"In any case, it's too early to draw conclusions."

"Please wait for our police to complete the follow-up investigation, and it will not be too late to pursue responsibility."

Lin Xinyi tried hard to calm the emotions of the family members of the deceased.

But Katsura Matsubara did not mean to calm down at all:

"Investigate? Investigate what?"

"Isn't the result clear at a glance?"

"Wait... why are you all speaking for this murderer—are you in the same group?!"

He was yelling, as if he was going to make a fuss in the police hall.

Lin Xinyi was also unable to take care of it, so he could only frown and ask the police officer in charge of hospitality next to him about the situation:

"Where is the body of the deceased now? Have you done an autopsy?"

"The body has been sent to the autopsy department of the forensics department."

"Department Chief Asai is in charge of the autopsy, and the results haven't come out yet."

The policeman replied.

At this time, Mao Lilan raised his head nervously.

The current atmosphere is not good for her, but when she saw Lin Xinyi who was running around for her, she still couldn't help but whispered:

"Mr. Lin... Actually, I saw the dead body at the scene..."

"He had a lot of bruises all over his body."

"It seems...they are still old wounds."

Mao Lilan expressed his discovery nervously.

But it provoked Matsubara Katsura to cast a vicious look:

"Hey, smelly woman, what do you mean!"

"Are you trying to say that my son died from an old injury?"

"Damn...that's the wound he got from fighting with someone three days ago... three days ago."

"My son has been fine for the past three days, and he can help me buy beer at the convenience store in the afternoon... How could he have died from this small injury?"

"Bastard! I think you just want to get away with colluding with the police!"

Matsubara Katsura roared so furiously.

But Lin Xinyi's heart skipped a beat:
