"The murderer is indeed me."

Mrs. Ikemura briefly recounted the modus operandi that she had exposed

Even, she also came up with evidence:

It was her custom-made keychain with needle-like grooves to conceal poisonous needles.

Because Mao Lilan's case was solved so quickly, Mrs. Ikemura had no chance to deal with this crucial piece of evidence.

With this keychain that can detect residual toxins on her body, and the testimony of many eyewitnesses, she has no chance of resisting stubbornly.

Therefore, Mrs. Ikemura simply confessed her crime honestly.

After figuring out the truth, Hattori Heiji's black face turned blue, red, and purple, as if it had turned into a human-shaped LED light.

The long reasoning he had just made was completely wrong.

He fell for the murderer's plan in a hot brain, and became the big stupid fish caught by the fishing line.

"This, this..."

Hattori was embarrassed to use his toes to pick out a set of three bedrooms and one living room.

Looking at Mao Lilan, who was innocent and pure on the outside, harmless to humans and animals, there was only resentment in his tone:

"Miss Maori, why do you want me to reason since you have discovered the truth?"

"Because I'm not confident in my abilities, I want to listen to the detective's reasoning and see if I'm wrong."

Maoliran replied very naturally.

Her eyes were pure and unblemished as she spoke, and there was no hint of malice at all.

But this sentence was put in the ears of the great detective Hattori Heiji, but it seemed to be a curse from the great onmyoji, and it became a harsh mockery.

"It's... It's me who lost. ”

Hattori Heiji was blushing and admitted his defeat:

"I didn't expect that just Mr. Lin's disciple would have such strength."

"I... Bow down. ”

After calmly accepting his defeat, he gradually calmed down:

"I'm so hungry for victory that I lose sight of the details."

"Miss Maori... You are indeed more qualified as a detective than me, the so-called detective. ”

Heiji Hattori lost very thoroughly.

He was impressed by Maoliran's performance and did not hesitate to praise it.

But as an opponent, Mao Lilan didn't seem to be too interested in the victory she had won.

She only coped with Hattori's praise with little interest, then turned her head with a gloomy expression, and looked silently at the motionless corpse lying on the ground with her big eyes glistening with tears.

"It's... Miss Maori, are you unhappy? ”

Heiji Hattori noticed in hindsight:

The Maori lady, who was completely superior to him in reasoning, showed no joy at all after winning over him, the famous detective.

Not only was she unhappy, but she even had tears in the corners of her eyes, looking very pitiful.

Under Hattori Heiji's puzzled gaze, Mao Lilan was silent for a long time before he said:

"As I said, solving a case is not a game."

"Witnessing the passing of a life is never something to be happy about."

She said something that Hattori had never understood before.

And Conan, who was watching quietly from the side, was also deeply touched by his childhood sweetheart's words.

These words may sound a bit false, but when they come out of the mouth of this kind Miss Maori, there is always the power to touch people's hearts:

"Moreover, when Mr. Ikemura was most painful and in need of help, I did not listen to him in time."

"I missed... I watched him die in front of me. ”

She bit her lip tightly, and her eyes glistened with tears again.

"What a kind young lady..."

Even Mrs. Ikemura, the murderer, was touched by Maoliran's purity and kindness.

She took the initiative to stand up and comfort the girl who had made herself fall short:

"Miss Maori, you don't need to be sentimental for this kind of person."

"Because of this bastard Isao Ikemura... He deserves it! ”

"It's true that I've committed murder, but I'm absolutely, absolutely not sorry for it."

Mrs. Ikemura's words were filled with indelible hatred.

Then, in the shocked and incomprehensible gazes of everyone, she finally told her motive for killing.

It turned out that twenty years ago, before marrying Isao Ikemura, Mrs. Ikemura Gonge used to be the wife of Mr. Yamashiro.

Mr. Yamashiro is a colleague of Isao Ikemura at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a diplomat.

And Ikemura Xun coveted the beauty of Ikemura Gonge, who was still "Mrs. Yamashiro" at that time, so he secretly designed a frame and detained Mr. Yamashiro with a black pot of corruption.

And just like that, according to the standard process of unnatural death of politicians...

Mr. Yamashiro, a diplomat, first exposed the corruption scandal, and within a few days committed suicide himself at home.

After Yamashiro's death, Ikemura resolutely abandoned his original wife, took advantage of the situation, and chased after Yamashiro, who had just become a surviving person at that time.

As a result, the mountain city was renamed Ikemura Gongjiang.

The two have been at peace with each other since they got married, until recently...

Ikemura's son, Takatsuyoshi Ikemura, has found a girlfriend named Sachiko Katsuragi, and that Miss Sachiko turns out to be exactly the same as Mrs. Ikemura when she was younger.

It turned out that she was the daughter born to Mrs. Ikemura and her ex-husband, but she was later forcibly taken away and adopted by her ex-husband's family, and she and her biological mother had not seen each other for many years.

Because of this, Ikemura Xun overreacted and over-emotionally, and accidentally exposed the framing of Yamashiro back then.

Mrs. Ikemura finally knows the truth about her ex-husband's unjust loss.

She was so resentful in her heart that she decided to kill Ikemura Xun, a vicious wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Dad... Dad, he's such a person? ”

After listening to the twists and turns of his father's bizarre black history, Ikemura Takazen was stupid.

Let's take a look at my girlfriend Sachiko Katsuragi next to me:

"And my fiancée... Or is it my stepmother's biological daughter, my sister? ”

The young Mr. Takazen Ikemura feels that his world is about to collapse.

Mrs. Ikemura confirmed it in a calm tone:

"I didn't lie to you, if you don't believe me, you can ask your grandfather."

"He also knows the ugly things that Ikemura did back then."

"That's why I thought of blaming him with fishing line—because I knew he wouldn't be able to bear the guilt in his heart and would be willing to help me take the blame."

"Alas...," Old man Toshimitsu Ikemura sighed, acknowledging the facts that Mrs. Ikemura said.

In this way, the ugly face of the deceased Ikemura Xun who framed and killed people and took his wife was completely exposed.

"So, Miss Maori..."

Mrs. Ikemura turned her head and said to Maoriran:

"You don't have to blame yourself for not saving this bastard."

"He deserved to die—it was Heaven who took him in!"

“.......”

Maoliran was silent for a while.

But in the end, she still snorted and said:

"But... But my job should be to save lives, not to decide the lives and deaths of others. ”

"Use that damn man as an excuse to cover up his dereliction of duty... Wouldn't I be too despicable like this? ”

Her eyes were too clean when she spoke.

Mrs. Ikemura looked at her for a long time, but she could no longer utter the words full of resentment and hatred just now.

"What a pure child..."

"Just like an angel."

Looking at the tears in Mao Lilan's eyes, she, as a murderer, actually had a feeling of being redeemed:

"Maybe it's my luck to meet you!"

Mrs. Ikemura sighed deeply.

In a trance, she only felt that she had done something wrong, so that she made an angel like Maolilan, who was supposed to be the companion of the light, cry.

And Conan on the side, Hattori Heiji, the two major detectives of these things, also fell into deep thought under Miss Maori's tears.

They couldn't help but start to reflect on whether their previous selves were missing something important compared to Maorilan.

And Maolilan is still blaming himself for what he has just done.

Even though she knew that this was a bad guy who couldn't be worse, she still felt bitter that she couldn't save the other party:

"I should have found out..."

"If I had found out a little earlier, maybe, maybe he wouldn't have died."

"No, you don't have to blame yourself so much."

"A person whose carotid artery has been injected with severe poison cannot be saved."

A powerful voice came from the side.

That's Lin Xinyi.

After receiving a call from the police, he found that the villa that was the scene of the crime happened to be in the villa area of Rice Flower Town, and it was not far from where the Xiao Ai sisters lived.

So he simply put down the book, said goodbye to Xiao Ai, and ran over directly.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Lin Xinyi was next to witness the "wonderful" reasoning duel between Heiji Hattori and Mao Lilan.

At the same time, he noticed that his overly kind student was suffering from her mistakes.

But this is not necessary.

Because Ikemura Xun was stabbed in the neck with a poisonous needle, and the piercing was still an artery.

The carotid artery injection, a dangerous type of injection, injects toxins that can rush into the brain as quickly as possible and spread throughout the body.

Under these circumstances, it is impossible to resuscitate the victim with current medical treatment.

Even if the killer used tetrodotoxin, which could theoretically survive on his own, it would never be possible.

Lin Xinyi carefully controlled the dose last time, and used a relatively safe subcutaneous injection method, and it still took so much effort to barely pull the fake death Akemi Miyano back from the death line.

And to a certain extent, it is still because Akemi Miyano has a physique that is different from ordinary people, and she has created a medical miracle by herself.

And who uses carotid artery injection to inject medicine, and also inject tetrodotoxin, which is highly toxic...

It can only be said that Jesus could not save him.

"So, Miss Maori, you don't need to feel too guilty at all."

"Even if you rescue the dead in time, there is absolutely no chance that the deceased will survive."

Lin Xinyi comforted gently.

"Mr. Lin—" Mao Lilan looked over with some gratitude.

But in her eyes, there were still tears of self-blame rolling slightly:

"But... I still made a mistake, didn't I? ”

"This..."Lin Xinyi was speechless for a while:

The failure to find out that the deceased faked his death at the beginning is indeed a mistake that cannot be shirked.

But Maolilan is just a fledgling student, and he is deceived by the illusion set by the murderer... How can she be blamed for this?

"Then remember this lesson and imprint it in your heart."

"It's also a kind of growth for you."

Lin Xinyi changed his way and taught in such a serious way.

And seeing Mao Lilan's crying pear blossom with rain, he thought about it for a while, and finally handed over the tissue:

"Wipe your tears!"

"Hmm—" Maoliran took the tissue and wiped the tears from her eyes.

Then, she quietly clenched her fists and said to Lin Xinyi very solemnly:

"Mr. Lin, I will definitely remember today's lesson!"

The scene is both touching and inspiring.

Miss Maori, who has taken an important step on the road to forensics, looks radiant at the moment.

But in the eyes of Conan's children, it is a completely different taste.

Because from the moment Lin Xinyi appeared, he subconsciously turned on the vinegar cylinder power unit.

Especially when Lin Xinyi handed over the tissue and asked Mao Lilan to wipe his tears...

Conan's children's hearts are even more unpleasant:

"Damn... At such an important moment, it was Lin Xinyi who accompanied Xiaolan. ”

"The one who wiped Xiaolan's tears should be me!"

The more Conan thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he was so sweaty that his little face turned red and his whole body was hot.

And then, in his resentful gaze...

Mao Lilan, who came out of the pain, blushed slightly, and said to Lin Xinyi, who saw his embarrassed appearance, with some embarrassment:

"Mr. Lin... Thank you. ”

"It should be my greatest luck to be able to learn from you."

Hearing this, Conan's mind heated.

I don't know if it's jealousy, or some other reason.

His mind went blank and he collapsed in a groggy state.
