Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 448 There is only one truth! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Looking at Bai Ye's deep eyes, Conan pondered for a moment, "Then, Brother Bai Ye, do you have evidence to prove that the man is the murderer?"

Although they now know who the murderer is and how he committed the crime based on the clues they have, the other party will not plead guilty if there is not enough evidence.

Unless, the victim, Mika Taniguchi, comes forward to testify against her.

However, Mika Taniguchi is still in the hospital for emergency treatment. By the time she wakes up, I'm afraid that by then, Toya Eiko will have already dealt with the evidence.

By then, even if Mika Taniguchi came out to testify against her, it probably wouldn't be of much use.

Hearing Conan's words, Bai Ye's mouth curled up, "Don't worry, I already know where the evidence is!"

Not to mention that he had read the original novel and had long known that the evidence was in Toya Eiko's big leather bag. For example, the bloody smell on the gloves might not be smelled by others through the leather bag, but it could not be hidden from his nose which had been strengthened by the system.

Conan looked at him deeply and said nothing.

Do you even have the evidence?

As expected, he is indeed his strong rival!
It seems that he still has a lot to learn on the road of being a detective!

Thinking like this, Conan made a decision in his heart...

……

Lobby.

"No fingerprints of the suspect?"

After hearing the forensic officer's report, Inspector Megure was dumbfounded.

The forensic officer nodded gently, "Yes, there is no way to detect it from the knife or the emergency exit door on the first floor."

Touching his chin, Inspector Megure fell into deep thought.

What's going on? Why didn't they find any fingerprints left by the suspect on the knife or the door of the emergency exit on the first floor? Could it be that the suspect is actually Toya Eiko herself, so there's no way to find fingerprints of anyone other than him? Or did the suspect clear away all the fingerprints before the police in order to avoid exposing his identity, so that the police can't use fingerprints to accuse him?

Listening to the conversation between Inspector Megure and the forensic officer, Toya Eiko's eyes flashed with joy, "Officer, can I go home now?"

Sure enough, she knew that her tricks could paralyze the police and help her get rid of the suspicion of murder.

The only pity is that this time the plan to assassinate Mika Taniguchi failed to completely kill the other party in one fell swoop.

I have to say, it is a bit regrettable.

It seemed that she would need to go to the hospital to visit her good secretary in a while, so that the other party would have no chance to speak and would not be able to betray her.

"This……"

Inspector Megure seemed a little embarrassed.

Let her go. What if Toya Eiko is really the murderer of Taniguchi Mika?
But if he didn't let her go, he had no evidence to prove that Toya Eiko was the suspect in the murder of Taniguchi Mika.

After taking a deep breath, Officer Megure made a decision, "Well... let's just stop here for today."

Since there was no way to prove that Toya Eiko was a suspect, for now, he could only let her go back first.

When Conan saw Toya Eiko, he was about to get up and leave. He had just finished collecting clues and came down from the 15th floor. He thought to himself that something was wrong.

Oh no, if I let Toya Eiko go back like this, she will definitely dispose of the evidence.

At that time, without real evidence, even if they told Toya Eiko about her plan, the other party might not admit her crime.

Thinking of this, he quickly looked at Bai Ye beside him...

Noticing his gaze, Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and then walked towards where Toya Eiko was...

……

"Miss Xiaolan, I'm sorry, let's do it another day!"

Looking up at Mao Li Ran opposite her, Toya Eiko stood up from the sofa.

Mao Lilan smiled gently, "Okay."

Nodding at her, Toya Eiko took a step forward, "Then I'll be leaving first!"

Maori Kogoro and Maori Ran looked at each other and showed their grace, "I'll take you to the door."

Toya Eiko nodded at him, "Thank you, Mr. Maori."

Perhaps because she felt that things had come to this point and she was completely safe, Toya Eiko not only relaxed her mind, but also had a smile on her face, and even her steps became a lot lighter.

Just when Toya Eiko was excitedly wanting to leave here and go find her good secretary to have a good chat and say some intimate words, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her plan, "Ms. Eiko, please wait a moment, you can't go back yet!"

"Or, if you insist on leaving, it's not impossible, but maybe you should change the way you leave!"

As he spoke, Bai Ye's eyes were extremely deep, "He left in a police car!"

Toya Eiko paused for a moment and looked at Bai Ye with some confusion, "Mr. Bai Ye? What do you mean by that?"

Why did the black-haired boy in front of me say this?

Could it be that she still had some flaws in this matter? Probably not, right?

"Brother Bai Ye, what are you talking about?"

Bai Ye's magnetic voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and Inspector Megure couldn't help but glance sideways.

"Hasn't Brother Maori already told me the reason why she couldn't be the criminal?"

At this point, Officer Megure paused, with a look of surprise and disbelief on his face, "Wait, could it be that Brother Bai Ye, you already know the truth?"

He didn't think that his good brother would stop Toya Eiko from leaving for no reason. Since the other party asked Toya Eiko to stay, he must have his own intention.

In other words, the other party may have already known the truth of this case.

Sure enough, he knew that his brother Bai Ye would never let him down!

And if he guessed correctly, Toya Eiko was most likely the real murderer of Taniguchi Mika.

"Yes, I already know the truth of this case!"

Bai Ye's voice was not loud, but everyone heard his words clearly.

"And the murderer who committed this crime and assassinated Miss Taniguchi Mika is none other than you, Miss Toya Eiko!"

There was infinite confidence hidden in the cold voice, and Bai Ye's words immediately made Toya Eiko's face change drastically.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could I be a criminal!"

Giving her a deep look, Bai Ye sneered, "Why can't you be the criminal? Don't you think the trap you set is very clever?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Yingzi, you left too many flaws when you committed the crime. Even a child like Conan could tell that something was wrong."

At this point, Bai Ye sneered, and without waiting for Toya Eiko's expression to change drastically, he continued his reasoning process, "Let me first explain about the shoe prints left on the corridor on the eighth floor. That was a trap she set in advance to make this case look like a case committed by robbers."

Inspector Megure was slightly stunned.

Trap? How do you say this?
As if knowing that Inspector Megure didn't understand, Bai Ye took a deep breath and continued to explain, "Please think back to those shoe prints. An ordinary person would run away after killing someone, so their steps should be very big. However, the shoe prints left in the corridor on the eighth floor seem to be the steps of deliberate walking back and forth. Right?"

Touching his chin, he carefully recalled the distance and appearance of the shoe prints found at the crime scene. Officer Megure seemed to be thinking, "I see, from what you said, it is indeed the case."

After killing someone, he would run as fast as he could in a panic.

But the shoe prints left at the crime scene looked like they were left by walking, which made people feel something was wrong no matter how they looked at it.

"Ms. Yingzi, you arrived at the building an hour before the incident, forged shoe prints, and unlocked the door from the inside of the emergency exit on the first floor. After that, you hid the ill-fitting sneakers in your big purse and walked outside."

"Come back here in thirty minutes after you've disposed of your sneakers. Then, when you see us here, go toward the elevator with Ms. Mika Taniguchi."

When he said this, Bai Ye paused and said, "At that time, it was you who pressed the elevator button!"

"Normally, most people wouldn't be so 'kind' as to help someone they hate press the elevator button, but you did it anyway, which is obviously not normal."

Toya Eiko's pupils were trembling violently, and her tightly bitten lips showed her fear and helplessness.

"And the reason why you have to do this is very simple. That is, you have a reason to do this. No matter what, you have to let Miss Taniguchi take the central elevator closest to you!"

"Because, that central elevator is the key to your murder of Miss Mika Taniguchi!"

"That's why, even though you wanted Miss Taniguchi Mika to die, you still suppressed your hatred and took the initiative to help her press the elevator button when she was riding the elevator."

Toya Eiko opened her mouth, as if trying to explain herself, but Bai Ye's voice rang out again, completely cutting off Toya Eiko's hope of getting away with it.

"Not only that, after entering the elevator, you started to make a call on your mobile phone inside the elevator. After reaching the 15th floor, you pressed the last button because it is quite difficult to get through a mobile phone call inside the elevator."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his face, "You dialed the number in advance in the elevator, pressed the dial button immediately after getting out of the elevator, and then told Miss Taniguchi on the phone to come to the 15th floor immediately."

"On the other hand, you taped the coin to the elevator call button on the 15th floor in order to prevent the elevator door from closing when you killed Ms. Taniguchi Mika."

"Please wait a moment, Brother Bai Ye, but Miss Taniguchi was found on the eighth floor! How do you explain this?"

Hearing this, before Toya Eiko could defend herself, Inspector Megure couldn't help but speak and interrupted Bai Ye's reasoning.

"This brings us to the key point of the trap set by Ms. Toya Eiko!"

However, Bai Ye did not directly say how Toya Eiko's trap was designed, but raised a new question, "Don't you think it's strange that Miss Taniguchi fell to the ground in the direction she did?"

"Is there any problem with the direction of falling?"

Inspector Megure narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.

"If Miss Taniguchi was stabbed by the suspect when she was walking out of the elevator, then she should have fallen inside the elevator!"

Bai Ye was not surprised that Inspector Megure had been thinking for so long but still couldn't come up with anything.

After all, if Inspector Megure is more capable than the detective, then how could it be possible for him, a private detective, to help solve the case? And how could the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department be the detective's foil!

In other words, it's just right that Inspector Megure and his people are so stupid, as it gives this private detective a chance to shine.

"But...she fell toward the outside of the elevator. This is obviously not normal!"

Of course, it is not ruled out that she fell out of the elevator because Mika Taniguchi woke up halfway and struggled to ask for help from the outside world.

However, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing, so as to avoid unnecessary accidents.

"Yeah..." Hearing this, Officer Megure finally realized what the problem was. "If you put it that way, there is indeed something wrong..."

"That is to say, Miss Taniguchi Mika's body was deliberately placed like this by the criminal! This is not a case of robbery, but a premeditated murder!"

"That's right..." Bai Ye nodded heavily, "And Miss Taniguchi Mika was not assassinated on the eighth floor, but by Miss Yingzi on the fifteenth floor!"

This is also the reason why it would take at least four or five minutes to go down from the 15th floor to the 8th floor, kill someone, and then return to the 15th floor, while Toya Eiko only had about one minute of free time and was still able to complete the assassination of Taniguchi Mika.

After all, the crime scene was not on the 15th floor, so how could it take so much time?

"After 'killing' her, Ms. Yingzi quickly ran to the back of Ms. Taniguchi Mika, hugged her, changed her direction to the corridor, and then pressed the button for the eighth floor, and then tore off the tape on the button!"

"After that, I supported Ms. Taniguchi's back and kept her sitting. I ran outside and asked the elevator to take her to the eighth floor!"
