This can be said to be a very clever murder trick.

"However, I still feel that something is wrong..."

Mao Lilan sorted out the case from beginning to end, but frowned tightly:

The ruse is indeed clever.

But why did Yonehara-sensei go to such lengths to use such tricks?

It was another false footprint, another framing, and the risk of being exposed, and played such a bitter trick.

Just to rule out your own suspicions?

Why bother?

Wouldn't it be safer and less labor-intensive to dispose of the corpse secretly and destroy the evidence?

"Could it be that she has a grudge against Mr. Nakamura?"

"So you want to kill Sugiyama-sensei and at the same time put Nakamura-sensei in jail?"

The more Mao Lilan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

But Conan has already faintly thought of something:

"Xiao Lan, I think, the purpose of Mr. Yonehara's acting in this play..."

"I'm afraid it's to scare her next target out."

"Remember Mochizuki Minako's suicide?"

"We discussed it when we were together before. The murderer is likely to avenge Minako, so Mr. Sugiyama did it."

"But now it seems that Mr. Sugiyama may not be the only person involved in Minako's death."

"But Teacher Yonehara doesn't know who the second person is."

"That's why she acted in such a play on purpose."

"Using such a horrifying serial killing method, the name 'Minako' was left on the backs of the hands of the three victims."

"The purpose is to deliberately create an atmosphere of terror, to scare the 'second person' into revealing himself."

"And then..."

Conan's reasoning is wild and unconstrained.

This is a nicer way of saying it.

To put it bluntly, there is not enough evidence to support it.

But I have to admit that no matter how bold his imagination is, his reasoning can perfectly explain the details of the case:

"At that time, Teacher Shimoda reacted the most."

"I noticed that Yonehara-sensei looked at him strangely when he exclaimed because of the name 'Minako'."

"So I guess, she designed this play to surprise the second murderer of the year so that she can continue to commit crimes."

"Otherwise, there is really no reason for Mr. Yonehara to take the initiative to expose the existence of the corpse and let himself come into Mr. Lin's sight in advance."

"You know, Mr. Lin is the supervisor of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Generally, it's too late for a murderer to hide in front of him, so how could he take the initiative to provoke trouble?"

"Yeah..." Mao Lilan nodded.

If things are really as Conan guessed, Mr. Yonehara did this to surprise the target and continue to commit crimes.

Then, some doubts seem to have been explained.

"I understand!"

Mao Lilan suddenly realized something.

She finally noticed what made her feel wrong all the time:

"Ms. Yonehara blamed Mr. Nakamura!"

"If she really wanted to blame Mr. Nakamura, then she shouldn't have hidden the rope in Mr. Nakamura's down jacket at all, and she shouldn't have left fingerprints on the reagent bottle."

"Because as long as there is no skin flakes on the rope, and whether the fingerprint on the reagent bottle matches Mr. Nakamura, we can prove whether Mr. Nakamura is the murderer."

"There is only one reagent bottle whose fingerprints have been wiped off, which makes it even more unclear."

"And Mr. Yonehara hid the rope and left fingerprints on the reagent bottle, so that means..."

Mao Lilan gradually figured out what Teacher Yonehara was thinking:

"Ms. Yonehara never thought of really blaming Mr. Nakamura."

"Falling the blame on Mr. Nakamura is just to temporarily push a murderer out and divert everyone's attention."

"According to her expectation, since the 'murderer' has been caught, everyone will naturally relax their guard."

"At this time, she can take the opportunity to attack the second target."

"And at this time..."

"At this time, Mr. Nakamura, who is regarded as the murderer, is still under guard. If another person dies, the suspicion of her being the murderer will be self-defeating."

She paused slightly, and her tone became extremely heavy:

"The plot to blame Nakamura-sensei will definitely fail, and Yonehara-sensei must know this."

"Not only did she do this, but she also intentionally left ropes and fingerprints, which can restore Mr. Nakamura's innocence and at the same time prove that she is the murderer."

"Ms. Yonehara is equivalent to 'surrendering himself'."

"So even if Mr. Lin is here, she dares to continue committing crimes."

"Because Mr. Yonehara doesn't care at all whether he will be caught after killing someone."

Mao Lilan's face turned pale:

"She's determined to avenge Minako..."

"at all costs."

Chapter 309 Poirot and Sherlock Holmes

From the perspective of criminal investigation alone, the case is actually over.

The killer has been identified.

Evidence is also easy to find:

Teacher Yonehara deliberately left fingerprints on the reagent bottle. As long as it is sent for identification, it can prove that the murderer who framed Misato Nakamura was her.

And ether needs to be taken and used immediately, so she should have hidden a reagent bottle that was actually used for committing crimes.

There is also the rope used to attack Suzuki Sonoko.

None of these were found at the scene, and they should still be hidden on Teacher Yonehara.

It's just that everyone regarded her as a victim just now, so they didn't search her body.

But since she left the scene, she has been under surveillance and protection, so she definitely has no chance to deal with the evidence hidden on her body.

So as long as you search for Teacher Yonehara now, you will be able to find the ironclad evidence of her murderous attack from her body.

The truth has been fully revealed.

But the expressions of Mao Lilan and Conan became more dignified instead.

Because they have never come into contact with such a murderer.

The murderer has the determination to kill and pay for it.

Her trick was not to get rid of the crime, but to create a chance for herself to get revenge.

Unlike those rats that secretly devour people, she is more like a warrior who kills and kills.

"Ms. Yonehara..."

Mao Lilan's heart was very confused.

In fact, she knew in her heart that as an honorary police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, what she should do now is to return to the living room as quickly as possible, reveal the truth in front of everyone, and prevent Mr. Yonehara from continuing to kill.

But, somehow...

After feeling Teacher Yonehara's determination, Mao Lilan faintly felt that her actions were just and worthy of admiration.

A person like her who is so kind that she would be teased as the Holy Mother could not help but have the terrifying thought that "killing someone may be right".

Thinking of this, Mao Lilan's cheeks turned pale.

She stood blankly at the door of the villa, blowing the howling wind in the mountains and forests, looking at the white snow field under the moonlit night, and did not move for a long time.

Conan seemed to understand her feelings too.

He didn't urge Mao Lilan to go into the house to reveal the truth now, but stood there quietly, meditating with her.

After a long time, the silence ended in silence.

Both of them knew that they could not hesitate any longer.

The two looked at each other tacitly, turned around solemnly, and walked towards the door with heavy steps.

At this time, the door of the villa was opened from the inside.

Lin Xin held a stack of documents in his hand, and walked out with Hui Yuanai.

"these are?"

Both Mao Lilan and Conan looked at the stack of documents in Lin Xinyi's hand with some concern.

"It's the files of Minako Mochizuki's suicide case three years ago."

"After I asked Asai to call it out, I sent it by fax as soon as possible."

Lin Xinyi's tone remained calm.

But everyone can see that after getting this file? There is a suppressed anger in his eyes.
