My Partner is Shiina Mashiro

Liu Sen's exclamation attracted everyone's attention.

"What happened to the animals?" Gilgamesh asked anxiously.

"There is a person who is very familiar with the use of nicknames. In the previous investigations, we also encountered topics related to passwords many times..."

"If it's that person, it's really normal to use animal patterns to hint."

But... what does it feel like... the strong intuition of catching the clues, and the extreme denial of this conclusion... These two contradictory mentalities are intertwined, but it is different from Yukinoshita Yukino, this time Liu Sen, There is also a different kind of emotion in my heart-fear.

If the thought that flashed through his mind just now could be true, what a terrible truth it would be... If such a truth was accidentally proved by me, it would be bloody and cruel.

"hateful…!"

Liu Sen slammed in the direction of the wall.

"Liu Sen/Sen/Brother Liu Sen, what's the matter with you?"

Liu Sen stared blankly at the ceiling in the small room, and for some reason, one of them was panting heavily, like a child facing a hungry wolf, trembling all over his body.

Liu Sen, who ran out of the basement, rushed into Shizuka Hiratsuka's office regardless of the exclamation of the family members behind him.

"Neither this one, nor that one, damn it... Where is the evidence?!"

There was no one in Hiratsuka Jing's office, and Liu Sen's search for evidence was very messy, and he pulled out all the documents in Hiratsuka Jing's office, and the documents were messed up in his hands like garbage. fly.

"This is…?!"

Liu Sen looked in disbelief at a drug-making instruction sheet full of chemical symbols in his hand. When Mashiro felt Hiratsuka Shizuka's office, Liu Sen, whose eyes seemed to have lost his soul, was lying powerlessly on the floor of the office. .

.......

The next morning, in the inpatient department of Chiba Nishi General Hospital.

This is Yumiko Miura's stay-at-home observation ward. Yumiko Miura, who has lost her life, is currently on parole for medical treatment because her body has not fully recovered.

There were only Liu Sen and Yumiko Miura in the ward, while Liu Sen's family and dedicated police officers were outside the ward to guard against anything that might happen.

"I haven't seen Officer Liu for a long time. It's really rare to see you, a busy man."

"Yeah, long time no see, if not for some reason, I wouldn't bother you on purpose."

The blond girl brushed her long hair back. Compared to the aura of a high queen in school, Yuiko Miura looked more like a frail little girl at this time.

"So, is there something important?" Yumiko Miura asked, "...Also, can I choose not to answer?"

"Do you know what I'm going to ask?" Liu Sen was a little puzzled.

"I don't look like a fool, do I?" Yumiko Miura replied with a smile, "I can probably guess what Officer Liu wants to ask, and I probably know what kind of life I will have in the future."

"...You'll be fine, didn't I promise you before?"

"Cheating girls is not something a good man should do." Miura Yuiko stared into Liu Sen's eyes, "'Unable to convict' and 'no crime' are two different things, I have long understood this."

"But…"

"There's nothing to worry about..." Yumiko Miura interrupted Liu Sen's speech, "I won't apply for a minor's commutation. I owe enough to Hayato Hayama."

"I may not be able to pay it off in this life... If there is an afterlife, I really want to apologize to him personally. If Officer Liu wants to exonerate me, then there is no need... I understand, My sins may not be redeemed in this life."

"Is that so, do you think so?"

Subtle eyes stared at Yumiko Miura who was smiling quite relieved. Liu Sen knew that no matter what he said, this girl would not change her mind. , perhaps also a good thing.

If she was really completely exonerated, this blond girl would probably live in the shadows for the rest of her life.

"If that's the case, then I won't bother with this matter anymore." Liu Sen smiled and agreed with Yumiko Miura's thoughts, "Then let's talk about the real purpose of my coming here today."

"Yumiko Miura, can you answer a question for me?"

"Can you tell me, who is it that handed you that bottle of highly poisonous cyanide-potassium?"

"..."

Miura Yuiko didn't answer, but turned her head away. Obviously, what happened back then was still an unacceptable fact for her.

"I know, this question may be quite difficult for you to answer."

Liu Sen tried his best to soften his tone.

"However, no matter what others think, it seems to me that you are also a victim of this chain of tragedy. I must stop this terrible vortex before it hurts more people. That's why I'm forcing you to do this."

"Hey, Mr. Interpol, how many times have I told you that this patient cannot visit now!!"

The conscientious doctor shouted outside the door, because the current Yumiko Miura really couldn't stand the slightest psychological shock.

"Bastard, open the door!"

"Zhenbai, Xiao Ai, help me, let's get this doctor out quickly!"

Gilgamesh outside the door was in a hurry to direct everything, but Liu Sen inside the door put a photo in front of Yuiko Miura.

"...you don't have to speak, just nod or shake your head."

"Is this the one who gave you the poison?"

Yumiko Miura nodded slightly.

"That's right... it's ok, and then I ask you to have a good rest."

"Also... you must live well"

……

Liu Sen couldn't remember how he left the hospital and returned home. He only remembered that he locked himself in the room quite distraught.

The condolences from family members outside the room sounded one after another, but Liu Sen still covered his head with the quilt regardless. He didn't understand what was wrong with him, he only knew that he really wanted to be alone. .

"Are devils and angels really just a difference in thought?" Liu Sen murmured to himself, "This sense of contrast and gap... I would rather never meet in my life."

……

"Well, Officer Liu is quite a rare thing. You actually invite me to drink milk tea in a milk tea shop?"

"To be honest, in my impression you are always running like an engine to solve crimes, and I have never seen you enjoy a good meal."

"That's not bad. To tell you the truth, Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, I've lost a whole five kilograms in the past month."

Liu Sen replied to Shizuka Hiratsuka's words with a wry smile, his eyes with complicated eyes stared at Shizuka Hiratsuka's face without blinking.

"It seems that the criminal police is indeed a hard job, and it can compete with the teachers of Zongwu High School."

"...So, Officer Liu?" Hiratsuka asked.

"...So what?" Liu Sen asked back.

"I can tell from your tone and eyes that you have almost figured out the ins and outs of this case." Shizuka Hiratsuka replied, "Otherwise, you who were just injured don't have the time to spare. Would you like me to drink milk tea?"

"...Well." After a long silence, Liu Sen nodded, "This Zongwugao serial killings, only the last link is useless for me to figure it out."

"Serial killings?"

"Don't digress, Mr. Shizuka Hiratsuka, let's go to the last place Hikigaya Hachiman visited before his death."

.......

"Well, isn't this the hall of the Gendarmerie Command?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked around suspiciously.

"Strange, I thought Officer Liu would take me to the underground storage room."

"No way." Liu Sen sneered and shook his head, "The most beautiful scene that Hikigu Hachiman last saw was here."

"At that time, Yui Hihama Yui should have followed the luminous paint in the dark to find the hidden gasoline here."

Liu Sen said to Hiratsuka Jing.

"Mr. Hiratsuka Shizuka, what I'm going to say next is my wild guess. If there are any contradictions, please point them out."

"Although I don't have much confidence, I will try my best." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded with a smile.

"The reasoning I made before was that when Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuihama Yui tried to ignite the test papers in the storage room, they burned out of control." Liu Sen said with his arms folded, "In the end they were surrounded by a sea of ​​flames."

"But this reasoning seems perfect, but it has a fatal loophole."

Liu Sen carefully observed Hiratsuka Shizuka's face, but other than a smile, there was no unnecessary expression on the other side.

"Hikigaya Hachiman's lungs did not detect the same smoke and dust as the scene, which shows that he was actually dead before he was burnt beyond recognition."

Chapter 260 Four

"In fact, after Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman entered the small room, they unintentionally closed the door of the small room and locked themselves in the room just like Haruichiro the puppy."

Lucerne continued.

"When encountering this kind of situation, the reaction of ordinary people is of course to ask for help from the outside world. Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui are no exception. They desperately called, but the signal in that small room was really bad, so they called no matter what. No way."

"Their series of reactions failed to attract people to come to the rescue, but instead alarmed the murderer who was lurking underground at this time."

"Ambush murderer?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked back with a smile.

"Yes, that's the murderer." Liu Sen nodded solemnly, "This murderer is a thoughtful person, and I'm afraid he has premeditated two murder plans."

"Plan A is to provide Yubihama Yui with volatile mixed gasoline, and let him die in the fire after the out-of-control combustion. If this plan can be implemented smoothly, it will be consistent with Conan's previous reasoning."

"And Plan B is the backup plan preset by the murderer. If Yui Hihama Yui and Hiki Valley Hachiman fail to ignite the fire, the murderer will do it himself and get rid of them both!"

With a serious expression, Liu Sen stared into Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes, but there was no change in the female teacher's expression.

Sure enough, as expected of a person who can provide psychological counseling, this psychological endurance is really not easy.

"So, when the murderer realized that Yuihama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman did not act as planned in Plan A..." Now, no matter how Shizuka Hiratsuka will react, Liu Sen will continue to say even if he bites the bullet Going down, "The murderer activated the mechanism hidden in the underground of that small room, and turned the small room they were in completely upside down."

"It is very likely that during the process of flipping the room, Hikigaya Hachiman's head was injured, leaving the first wound."

"After that, the murderer brutally killed Hiki Valley Hachiman, and also stunned Yuigahama Yui with an ecstasy such as ether. As for the second blunt weapon left on Hiki Valley Hachiman's head Injury, the murder weapon used by the murderer is probably the fire extinguisher found at the scene."

Liu Sen's words paused here, and he made a throwing motion with his hands.

"Then the murderer, like me, poured a large amount of mixed gasoline on the scene, filling this small room with flammable gas."

"Yes, but Officer Liu, have you considered this?" Shizuka Hiratsuka retorted with a smile, "This is a very dangerous move for the murderer. A little carelessness at this time ignited those mixed Gasoline gas..."

"It is indeed a very dangerous act." The corner of Liu Sen's mouth twitched, "To be honest, if the lighting at the scene is not the LEG lamp but ordinary fluorescent lamps, the murderer is equivalent to self-immolation."

"But in order for the ignition device to work, the murderer had to take this risk."
