Chapter 102: Xiaolan's Determination
"I killed the real boss."
"Because when he bought the museum, he promised to keep the museum running, but he went back on his word and wanted to tear down the museum and build it into a hotel."
"Boss Manaka ruined the museum I dedicated my life to, so I killed him."
"And I deliberately set up a trick to put a note with Wata's name written in advance and a ballpoint pen without ink at the scene, just to lure Boss Manaka to make a 'death message' action in front of the surveillance camera, and frame Wata's murder crime."
"Because Kuwada stole my cherished artwork, I wanted to punish him like this."
Director Ochiai 1510 told his modus operandi and his motive for committing the crime.
Although Lin Xinyi wanted to complain about this 6 or 70-year-old old swordsman who could still wear a full-body armor and slash people, but now, the identity of this old man's murderer is basically useless.
"A knight who slays a demon will eventually become a demon."
"I've killed someone... Sure enough, he still didn't escape the curse. β
Looking at the oil painting called "Heavenly Punishment", Director Ochiai, who had already confessed his guilt, sighed and sighed.
"It's not right to kill."
After listening to the story told by Director Ochiai, Moriran gave such a reaction.
There was no argument, no questioning, she just said seriously out of her most innocent and direct thoughts: "It's not right to kill." β
The words may be thin, but the warm, firm, and clean eyes of Maolilan can always touch people's hearts.
She was like an invisible aura that could influence the wicked, and just looking at her made Director Ochiai cry with emotion:
"yes... It's such a simple truth, but I forgot it. β
"I see Boss Manaka as a demon, but when I kill for my selfish desires, I'm already an even uglier demon than him."
Director Ochiai is like a balloon running phosgene, and the whole person becomes decadent.
"Take me away and let me atone for my sins..."
He took the initiative to stretch out his hands and cooperate with the police's arrest.
The person who searched the first section handcuffed the director of the Ochiai curator.
At the same time, the officers of the forensic division used the infection extraction method that Mao Lilan just mentioned to extract the smell on the inner lining of the armor-
In order to prevent the occurrence of others from replacing him, even if the murderer has confessed, the police dog identification still has to be done.
Then, the officers of the Forensic Division also searched the armor carefully, extracting the dander and hair that remained on the inner lining of the armor.
Take these samples back for DNA identification and comparison, and with the confession testimony of Director Ochiai, the case will be closed.
A case with great social impact was simply solved.
And the person who solved this case was Mao Lilan, a rookie who had studied for a day to investigate.
"Xiaolan..."
Conan looked at it with a subtle expression and mixed feelings:
He lost, lost to Xiaolan.
Although the progress of his investigation was greatly delayed by the forensic class, he knew in his heart that the victory or defeat this time was not at all the speed of solving the case:
From the time I thought about the detective's habitual thinking and wanted to crack the murderer's tricks, I had already lost.
Because, just like Xiaolan did... There is no need to analyze the murderer's tricks at all, just use the scientific methods of trace detection without brains.
It's something that's already simple, but it doesn't need to be that complicated.
The murderer's trickery in this case is like the remarks of a bar spirit, and when Conan tries to study and crack it, his IQ is unwittingly lowered by the murderer to the same level as him.
"I lost to Xiaolan this time, and after that..."
Conan couldn't help but think of what Lin Shinichi said before:
When forensic science and technology are fully developed, detectives will be completely useless.
Xiaolan's performance today is extremely powerful proof that this prediction is very likely to come true.
Thinking about the cases I have solved before, it seems that all of them can be solved by this "stupid method" of scientific investigation.
"Shhhh I'm not really going to be unemployed, am I? β
Conan's head suddenly appeared with such a terrifying picture:
Xiaolan worked as a forensic doctor outside and used science and technology to solve cases, and she was unemployed at home, feeding her children milk powder and changing diapers.
When the child grew up, because he couldn't stand his incompetence, the relationship between the two broke down.
Xiaolan, who got rid of his burden, had a smooth sailing career and became the "undefeated queen of the forensic industry".
Dumped by his wife, he reluctantly ran a detective agency with a dismal business, relying on the shadow of his father's legacy to pull his children to grow up alone.
"It's horrible!!"
Thinking about it, Conan's future self in his mind has become more and more similar to that Maori uncle.
Let him live the kind of life that helps people find cats, find dogs, catch juniors, drink, bet on horses, and watch TV every day, and he will go crazy!
Don't... Want to change careers?
He has dreamed of becoming a detective since he was a child, what else can he be if he is not a detective?
Worried about the future, Conan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
And at this time...
Miss Mao Lilan, who had just relied on her own strength to find out the truth, had already walked back to Lin Xinyi's side:
"Mr. Lin Xinyi, thank you for your guidance."
She thanked her with a touch of energy and spirit.
"There's nothing to thank, it's mainly you who solve the case this time."
Lin Xinyi praised this outstanding student in a calm tone.
Then, in a deep voice, he asked very solemnly to Maolilan:
"Miss Maori, have you made a decision about what I just told you?"
"Well, I've decided."
Mao Lilan nodded, and there was no hesitation in his eyes.
βοΌοΌοΌβ Conan suddenly became alert:
What is the decision to make the atmosphere so formal?
Lin Xinyi wouldn't say anything strange to Xiaolan behind his back, right?
Bastard... Am I going to be robbed of my future as a baby at home?!
In Conan's uneasy gaze, Moriran replied:
"I've decidedβ"
"I'm going to be a forensic doctor in the future!"
"Seriously? Are you sure you've thought carefully about the consequences of this choice? β
Just like a senior monk before the little monk officially shaved his hair, Lin Xinyi very carefully asked Mao Lilan's mind one last time.
And Maolilan's voice remained firm:
"That's right, I've decided, I'm going to be a medical examiner."
"Okay." Lin Xinyi let out a long sigh of relief.
He was actually worried that Maoriran would start to retreat after actually touching the corpse.
After all, she chose to become a medical examiner only because... Can you stick to your boyfriend for a while?
A guy like Lin Xinyi, who has never been in love, can't understand such a strange brain circuit at all.
In his opinion, this kind of "hot brain" idea is likely to be shattered by the cruel reality.
But unexpectedly, after experiencing the autopsy process and seeing the hard work of forensic medicine, Mao Lilan still chose to plunge into this sinkhole.
"Maybe this is true love..."
Lin Xinyi said with deep emotion from the bottom of his heart:
"I really didn't expect you to do this for Kudo."
"No..."
Mao Lilan shook his head and said very seriously:
"I didn't make this decision entirely for him."
"Uh-huh???"
Conan's heart that he had just put down suddenly twitched nervously again:
Not entirely for him...
Hiss, who else will it be for?
When it comes to jealousy, Conan has always maintained the same sharpness and enthusiasm as reasoning.
However, the great detective who added all the skill points of emotional intelligence to IQ did not notice:
At this moment, there was a kind of satisfaction and joy in Mao Lilan's eyes that was the same as he had before, finding the truth:
"I made the decision for myself."
"Because of the opportunity you gave me, Mr. Lin, I can also experience the sense of accomplishment of finding out the truth for the dead."
"Now, I kind of understand Shinichi's addiction to reasoning and solving crimes."
As if she had found something she was willing to dedicate her life to, her voice was relaxed but firm:
"I'm not studying to be Shinichi's assistant right now."
"To be able to study so that I don't get left behind... Using such reasons to decide your future career and life, if you think about it carefully, it is a little too pitiful. β
"So, my goal now is to-"
Maolilan clenched his fists tightly and uttered a deafening declaration:
"Become a forensic doctor who can surpass the detective!"
"Just like Mr. Lin Xinyi said, let that reasoning freak lose his job!"
