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

The killer has been confirmed.

The evidence is also easy to find:

Mr. Yonehara deliberately left fingerprints on the reagent bottle, and as long as she sent it for identification, it would prove that she was the murderer who framed Minori Nakamura.

And ether needs to be taken and used, so she should still have a reagent bottle hidden in her own place that is really used for crime.

There is also a rope used to sneak up on Suzuki's garden.

None of these were found at the scene, and they should still be hidden in Mr. Yonehara's body.

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

But she has been under surveillance since she left the scene, and she certainly has no chance to deal with the evidence she has hidden.

So as long as you search for Teacher Yonehara now, you can find ironclad evidence of her murderous and sneak attack from her.

The truth has been fully revealed.

But Mao Lilan and Conan's expressions became more dignified.

Because they have never been in contact with such murderers.

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

Her ruse is not to get away with it, but to create a chance for revenge for herself.

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

"Yonehara-sensei..."

Maolilan's heart was in turmoil.

In fact, she knew in her heart that as an honorary police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, the most important thing she should do now is to return to the living room as quickly as possible, expose the truth in front of everyone, and stop Yonehara-sensei from continuing to kill.

But, somehow...

After feeling Yonehara-sensei's determination, Mao Lilan faintly felt in her heart that her approach was righteous and worthy of admiration.

A person like her, who is so kind that she will be ridiculed as the Virgin, will uncontrollably give birth to the terrifying idea that "it is possible to kill someone".

At the thought of this, Maolilan's cheeks turned slightly white.

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

Conan seemed to understand her feelings, too.

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

After a long time, the silence ended in silence.

Both of them knew they couldn't afford to hesitate any longer.

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

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

Lin Xinyi held a stack of documents in his hand and walked out with Gray Yuanwai.

"What are these?"

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

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

"After I asked Asai to help me bring it out, I faxed it as soon as possible."

Lin Xinyi's tone was still calm.

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

"How... Mr. Lin? ”

"Minako's case? Is there really a problem? ”

Maolilan asked nervously, biting her lip tightly.

"There's a problem."

"And it's problematic at first glance."

"She didn't kill herself? But after being killed? Disguised as a hanger. ”

Lin Xinyi clutched the document tightly, almost.

The Metropolitan Police Department handled the case very sloppily that year.

Didn't do an autopsy? Didn't keep the evidence, didn't visit and investigate the deceased's life history? Confirmation of suicidal motive.

I just let the photography masters of the forensics class take some photos on the spot.

The case was hastily closed with "suicide".

But even so? Even if the only useful information in the archives is the live photos of those great photographers.

Lin Xinyi, no, anyone with brains, experience, and attitude can also see it at a glance? There is something wrong with this case.

"But the Metropolitan Police Department closed the case with suicide!"

"They didn't even take good care of the evidence—"

"I'm going to find out the real murderer now? It is difficult to get the murderer to confess. ”

Speaking of this, the calm on Lin Xin's face could no longer be maintained.

When he learned about the absurd results of the Aso family's murder tragedy, he had completely lost confidence in the previous work of the Metropolitan Police Department.

And he knows better? When a person finds a cockroach, there must already be a nest of cockroaches in the house.

Right now... Sure enough, this kind of perfunctory attitude of the case-handling personnel appeared again? A case of confusion that has led to the truth being covered up layer by layer.

I don't know how many more such cases there are.

It's just that this time the case is even more infuriating:

The victim was a child.

One is not much bigger than Gray Plains? An innocent and innocent little girl.

This kind of plot that hurts young children can't pass the trial in a bloody and violent large-scale American movie, but in reality, because of the ugliness of human nature? And it happens again and again.

"Really, really... Did he kill him? ”

After confirming this conclusion from Lin Xin's mouthful? Both Maorilan and Conan's expressions became more and more tangled.

Minako was killed.

The man who killed him? It is, and most likely will be, at large.

Because of the negligence and perfunctory handling of the case by the Metropolitan Police Department back then, three years later, they may have exhausted their wisdom and stratagem, but they will not be able to expose the darkness.

And the person who has the best hope of seeking justice for Minako is actually a criminal.

At this moment, Conan and Maoriran's sensibility and reason collide fiercely.

They even regretted a little, regretting that they had solved the case too quickly.

If it can be a little later, too late for Yonehara-sensei to complete her revenge, they will find out all this again...

Could this be a more perfect ending?

Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but fall into deep confusion.

Until Lin Xinyi also sighed lightly and said to the two of them:

"Tell me first, what did you find here!"

"Hmm... Good, good," Maori Lanne reacted.

She quickly told all of her and Conan's findings:

"That's pretty much it..."

"Yonehara-sensei is the murderer, and the purpose of her acting is to surprise the second target, which is Shimoda-sensei."

"Mr. Lin, after you have the 'murderer' of Ms. Nakamura, you still haven't relaxed your vigilance and gathered everyone together to protect and take care of you."

"This should have been a surprise to Yonehara-sensei."

"She must be ready to fight to the death now, and she is deliberately looking for an opportunity to attack Shimoda-sensei."

"And we... We..."

Maolilan clenched his fists quietly, his nails almost plucking the flesh out of blood.

In the end, she still raised her head with difficulty and expressed her worries to Lin Xinyi:

"We're stopping Yonehara-sensei now."

"Is this really right?"

There was a moment of silence in the air.

The door was open, the heat was inside the door, and the cold wind was outside.

They stood in the doorway, as if they were standing on the edge of ice and fire, light and darkness, and it was difficult to go either way.

At this confluence, the cold air and the warm current blend with each other, the light and darkness merge into one, and the boundaries seem to become blurred.

"Whew..."Lin Xinyi let out a long sigh.

Instead of giving an answer, he threw the question back to everyone present: "What do you think?" ”

The first to speak was Gray Plains.

This genius girl didn't have so many worries, and she clearly recognized her heart:

"The scales of justice may not always be balanced."

"And for the first time, I learned to accept the imbalance of the world."

"There were no murderers in the car."

"There are only people who deserve to live well."

Gray Yuan mourned a line in her seemingly ruthless but affectionate voice.

Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan are still a little sluggish.

But Conan has already reacted:

"Hercule Poirot, Murder on the Orient Express"

He revealed the origin of Gray Yuan's words.

Then, it was as if some difficult decision had finally been made...

Conan sighed deeply and read out a line:

"Dear Lestrade, I think that when the law does not bring justice to the person concerned..."

"Private revenge is justified, even noble, from this moment on."

"Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection: The Return, Milwarton"

Lin Xinyi rarely looked at reasoning.

Because his studies and work are dealing with the dead, and he is in contact with the dark side of society.

In his spare time, he prefers to watch positive stories that have nothing to do with sin, darkness, and death.

Like Ultraman or something.

But these two lines, you don't need to know the background of the story, just by looking at the literal meaning, Lin Xinyi can understand and understand the attitude of Gray Yuan Ai and Conan towards this matter.

"What about Miss Maori?"

Lin Xinyi seemed to be running away, and he seemed to be simply listening.

He continued to throw questions out and set his sights on Maoriran.

"I—" Maoriran hesitated.

She struggled for a long time, but she quietly lowered her head under Lin Xinyi's gaze, and said in a slurred voice:

"I'm still worried about Yonehara-sensei."

"If she kills one more person, the sentence will definitely be doubled or even worse."

"When the time comes, her life will be completely ruined."

The crime of intentional homicide is punishable by imprisonment of not less than 5 years, life imprisonment, or death, depending on the circumstances.

However, in practice, the sentence is generally more lenient, and the murderer kills three or more people before the death penalty can be imposed.

According to the precedents of the book in recent years, the average sentence for the first offense is about 13 years, and it is impossible to sentence it indefinitely.

And Mr. Yonehara's murder is for revenge, the social harm is low, and there is even a certain "legitimacy".

If the operation is done properly, the lawyer is powerful, and the influence of public opinion, maybe he will not even be sentenced to ten years, and he will come out after seven or eight years.

At that time, Yonehara-sensei was not yet 40 years old, and she still had hope for a new second half of her life.

But if she kills one more person...

With 2 lives on his back, according to past precedents, if he doesn't sit in prison for 20 years, I'm afraid he won't want to come out again.

Maolilan is the daughter of a lawyer.

Moreover, forensic medicine and forensic medicine have to study both law and medicine.

Forensic science courses already include courses such as "Forensic Jurisprudence".

After aspiring to become a forensic doctor, Maolilan often consulted his mother to learn some legal knowledge.

So Mao Lilan knew very well in her heart that if she connived at Mr. Yonehara to kill another person, what a bleak ending would her life usher in.

"But..."

At the critical moment, Maolilan actually came to a but.

Her expression was extremely tangled:

"However, if Yonehara-sensei himself has made up his mind."

"I shouldn't seem to be worried about her."

Speaking of which, Lin Xinyi can be regarded as hearing it:

Although Maolilan has always been so entangled, he also instinctively resists "killing", and he avoids not wanting to say the word.

But the whole process is just concerned about the situation after Mihara-sensei.

I didn't discuss it at all, and it was wrong and right to condone Mr. Yonehara's revenge.

It seems that Mao Lilan actually has an answer to this question in his heart.

"Mr. Lin..."

She looked up, along with Conan and Gray Plains.

handed over the power of decision to Lin Xinyi:

"What do you think?"
