Chapter 25: You're Late
"That's how Ishikawa did it."
After telling the murderer's tricks, Kudo Shinichi finally concluded:
"It's just that I still lack key evidence, so I have to go back to that alley and search carefully."
He said this, but his expression was not very nervous:
The modus operandi has been thoroughly seen, and the evidence should not be difficult to find.
At this point, the progress of solving the case has reached ninety percent.
And in contrast...
Lin Xinyi should be slower than himself.
After all, the ability he showed before was only to examine the body, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see through the murderer's exoneration scheme set up by using the environment, right?
"This time..."
Thinking about it, Kudo Shinichi suddenly became confident:
"It's up to me to win."
In this way, Ishikawa led the way in front, and Kudo followed out of the department store in high spirits.
Kudo now feels like he's steady:
He believes that in this case, his detective skills must be more advantageous than Lin Xinyi's forensic skills.
Ishikawa also feels stable now:
Even the great detective Kudo Shinichi personally confirmed that this case was a simple suicide, and those incompetent Tokyo metropolitan police must have no way to deal with him as a murderer.
In this way, with similar confidence, the murderer and the great detective returned to the alley next to the department store one after the other.
At this time, it took almost ten minutes for Kudo and them to investigate, and the Tokyo police, who were quick to go to the police, had arrived at the scene in time.
Several police cars have been parked on the road, and there are several uniformed police officers on the sidewalk to maintain order.
The entrance of the uninhabited alley has been isolated by the blockade line that has been urgently pulled up, and the crowd outside the blockade line is full of onlookers who have been attracted by the case.
"Let's go."
Kudo Shinichi hurriedly squeezed in front of the blockade.
Ishikawa and Moriran also returned to the scene.
The police officers who maintained the blockade were trying to stop the group of three, but Shinichi Kudo, as the savior of the Saymoto police, had his face as the best pass.
Kudo Shinichi walked into the blockade like this, and then looked at the police officer who led the team:
Sure enough, it's still an old friend he has been working with for a long time:
"Dusk Police!"
Shinichi Kudo greeted him warmly.
When the police arrived, he could use the power of the forensic division to carefully search the scene and help him find the key evidence that had been added to the last fragment.
In this way, in this reasoning test without gunpowder, he can achieve a real victory.
"Brother Kudo."
"You're here too?"
The Twilight Police Department was slightly surprised, and then inexplicably relieved:
"No wonder I met Mr. Lin Xinyi twice at the scene of the crime today."
"It's not his fault..."
"If Brother Kudo is here, everything will make sense."
One of the Grim Reaper is enough.
If Lin Shinichi also dies wherever he goes, like Kudo, the pressure on the Metropolitan Police Department will be even greater.
As an older middle-aged person, the Twilight Police Department still believes in this kind of metaphysics.
"Haha..."
Kudo Shinichi automatically ignored the complaints of the Twilight Police Department.
Detectives are always drawn to cases... It's also normal to be misunderstood.
He smiled and said straight to the point:
"Dusk Police Department, I have a little idea about this case."
"Uh..."
The expression of the Twilight Police Department suddenly became a little subtle.
"How?" Kudo Shinichi keenly read the expression of the Twilight Police Department: "Is there something going on in this case?" ”
"Nothing happened, just..."
It seems that the Twilight Police Department has said this kind of thing to Kudo for the first time, and the tone is very tactful:
"You're a little late..."
"The suspects have all pleaded guilty."
As he spoke, Officer Twilight pointed behind him:
Sure enough, Aoki, who had just been left in the alley, had been surrounded by several able-bodied police officers.
He was handcuffed in his hands, and when he was escorted to the police car, he couldn't stop crying:
"People, people were killed by Ishikawa!"
"We're just accomplices... Just an accomplice... You have to figure this out! ”
Shinichi Kudo: "......"
I left for ten minutes, and so far I haven't even found key evidence, and the suspects have all pleaded guilty?
Is this what Lin Xinyi did?
How so... What did he do?
Thinking of this, the competitive spirit of the great detective Kudo was instantly pierced.
And beside him, Ishikawa's expression was even more exciting:
"Aoi, Aoki... What nonsense are you talking about! ”
"I... When did I kill someone... Don't get involved with me if you're crazy yourself! ”
Seeing Aoki uncovering the truth in front of the police like this, Ishikawa was stupid:
The trick devised by Lao Tzu has even deceived the detective!
As a result, the accomplice reported me behind my back?
Are you worthy of my brain cells!
"Bastard!"
"Shut me up!"
He yelled hysterically at Aoki, but this instead caught the attention of the police:
"Oh? Are you that Ishikawa? ”
The officers looked at each other in disgrace.
Ishikawa, on the other hand, shrank his head nervously, and finally yelled:
"So what?"
"Aoki has a problem with his brain... Is what he says what he says? ”
"I think you should send him to a mental hospital as soon as possible!"
"I want to say I'm a murderer... You've got to show the proof! ”
"yes."
"Dusk Police Department, what the hell is the evidence?"
Unprecedentedly, Kudo Shinichi gave the criminals a word of help.
Because he also seems to know what clues Lin Shinichi used to discover the truth, and what evidence he used to make Aoki obediently confess.
It can't be a fool of Aoki's psychological fragility, right?
That's too untechnical.
"Uh... This..."
The Twilight Police Department said very calmly:
"We don't know about that because we've just arrived on site."
"And when we arrived at the scene, the guy named Aoki was already kneeling down in front of Brother Lin and confessing, crying that he was guilty."
"Before we could speak, he came running over and wept bitterly and said that he wanted to turn himself in, and offered us to handcuff him."
"As for the specific facts of the case..."
"We haven't even had time to ask."
Kudo: "......"
Ishikawa: "......"
Neither of them knew what to say, and Ishikawa was so angry that his whole body was trembling:
He wanted to kill Aoki with him now.
This unproductive soft egg is really going to make him miserable.
"So there's no evidence at all?"
Ishikawa held his mind hard in a moment of silence.
He bites the bullet and refuses to let go, ready to fight to the death:
"There's no way to prove that I'm killing people based on Aoki's gibberish."
"You police won't believe a madman, will you? No way? ”
"Uh..."
The Twilight Police Department was speechless for a while, and finally had to turn their eyes to Lin Xinyi on the side for help:
"Brother Lin should be able to give an answer to this point."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Xinyi suddenly became the focus of the audience.
The police officers at the scene, the onlookers, all cast their eyes on him.
There were even people in the crowd who were looking expectantly holding cameras to film him.
And our detective Kudo Shinichi is also very aggrieved at the moment, being classified as an inconspicuous "onlooker".
"Okay, then let me have to talk a little more."
Lin Xinyi stood up and looked calmly at Ishikawa, who refused to let go.
And before Ishikawa could say a few cruel words to give himself strength, Aoki, who was already obediently handcuffed next to him, had already taken the lead and said in his trembling voice:
"Ishino, Ishikawa, confess your guilt."
"That man is like a perverted voyeur who secretly installed a camera in the women's locker room, I don't know how, he 'watched' everything we did!"
"We can't escape... You can't escape. ”
"If you confess your guilt now, at least you can turn yourself in, and you can reduce the punishment a little!"
“......”
Ishikawa's face turned green when he heard this:
"Shut up!"
"Surrender... I didn't kill anyone, who am I?! ”
"Aoki, if you go crazy yourself, go to a mental hospital, don't run to the police and bite people indiscriminately!"
Aoki was yelled at and stopped talking.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at Ishikawa was full of despair.
And at this moment, as the focus of the audience, Lin Xinyi finally spoke again:
"It's just right not to turn yourself in."
"Murder and evil deeds deserve punishment."
"It would be a pity if you let a scumbag like you turn yourself in and reduce the sentence."
