"I'm a policeman, and I'm always interested in matters involving human life."

Hayashi Shinichi stopped Tomokako Ikeda and asked unabashedly:

"So, who is Atsuko?"

"Why do you mention this 'dead person', and other people's expressions are full of nostalgia, but you are so disgusted, nervous and even afraid?"

"You, you..." Chikako Ikeda was choked and speechless.

In the end, this successful and famous writer only uttered a vulgar swear word: "None of your business!"

"If a homicide case is suspicious, it's none of my business."

Hayashi Shinichi confronted Ikeda Chikako, making the atmosphere tense.

"Okay... Mr. Lin, there is really nothing suspicious."

Suzuki Ayako stood up to smooth things over, and told what happened that year:

It turned out that Miss Atsuko was also a member of the Film Research Society, and was a close friend of several of them back then.

This little girl has always been lively and cheerful.

But 2 years ago, Atsuko suddenly hanged himself in the club office without any reason.

"There's no reason to hang yourself?" Lin Xinyi suddenly became suspicious.

Chikako Ikeda was uncomfortable with his eyes like sizing up the prisoner, so she replied angrily:

"Is there any problem? Atsuko's suicide was verified by the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"And her parents even paid for the institute to do an autopsy afterward. The result cannot be fake!"

Chikako Ikeda presented evidence to prove Atsuko’s suicide, but Hayashi Shinichi’s attitude still did not back down:

"I don't know if there is any problem with Atsuko's suicide."

"However, Miss Ikeda, your current attitude is very problematic."

"For your best friend who committed suicide and died tragically, why do you act so disgusted that you even want to run away when you hear her name, and you dare not even mention it?"

"Could it be that you have done something wrong to this Miss Dunzi, so you feel a little guilty?"

Lin Xinyi calmly said these murderous words.

"I, I don't have a guilty conscience!"

"I just...have a bad relationship with Atsuko, so I don't want to hear about her."

Tomokako Ikeda stammered in response.

She instinctively wanted to leave this place that made her breathless, but she also felt that it would make her look guilty.

So, Chikako Ikeda simply sat back on the table with an ugly face, and yelled at Hiroki Kadotani who was holding a poker card:

"Play cards! Didn't you say you want to play cards? Hurry up and deal the cards!"

She was like a frightened ostrich, as soon as she buried her head in the ground, she stopped talking to Lin Xinyi.

And Hayashi Shinichi didn't chase after Chikako Ikeda.

He just observed Miss Ikeda's embarrassed and gloomy expression, and suddenly asked without thinking:

"When I was in college, who had the best relationship with that Miss Dunzi?"

"Huh?" Everyone didn't quite understand why Lin Xinyi asked such a question.

Before they could answer, Lin Xinyi said meaningfully:

"If I'm not mistaken..."

"The person who had the best relationship with Ms. Atsuko back then should be Mr. Takahashi Ryoichi who just left?"

"No, that's right...it's Takahashi."

"Back then we could all see that Takahashi had always been secretly in love with Atsuko."

Suzuki Ayako's expression was a little surprised:

"But Mr. Lin Xinyi, how do you know?"

Lin Xinyi didn't explain much, but just let out a long sigh:

It's finally confirmed...

There's going to be a real homicide today.

Because he was always worried about this, while he was trying to chat just now, he had also been testing the past relationships of Ayako, Takahashi, Ikeda and others.

As a result, it really made him see an extremely dangerous signal——

The suspicion of suicide in that Miss Dunzi is enough to be a motive for murder.

And Chikako Ikeda, a woman who clearly felt ashamed of Atsuko, would most likely become the target of the murderer's revenge.

As for the murderer who took revenge on her...

Naturally, it would be Ryoichi Takahashi who had the best relationship with Atsuko back then, and still had some "strange things" about him.

"Chikako Ikeda should be the victim."

"Takahashi Ryoichi is a murderer who wants to kill someone."

"He is leaving now with an excuse, probably to prepare the killing tool."

"Fortunately...the murder hasn't happened yet, I still have time to stop it."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lin Xinyi heaved a sigh of relief.

The cause of the case was finally found, and the identities of the murderer and the victim were roughly confirmed.

As for the "victim" Ikeda, he is still sitting among everyone, so he will definitely not be in any danger.

As long as he keeps a close eye on the "murderer" Takahashi and stops him before he strikes, today's murder will not happen.

And Lin Xinyi thought so...

In the woods outside the villa, there was a piercing scream:

"Ahhh! Help, help!"

"Mao, Miss Maori?"

Lin Xinyi's expression was extremely astonished:

He never expected that this invincible female warrior who reassured him would be in danger.

Anyone dare to attack Miss Maori?Is it Takahashi?

Impossible... just him?

Could it be that the Saiyans invaded the earth to scare Mao Lilan like this?

Lin Xinyi was shocked, but his body moved quickly.

"You all get together, especially Miss Ikeda, don't leave here!"

"Caesar, watch them!"

Caesar sat up abruptly, and watched the people in the living room closely.

Lin Xinyi rushed out of the villa quickly, and plunged into the rain that was gradually falling.

Although Mao Lilan is in the forest at the moment, the location is not far from the villa.

Lin Xinyi quickly rushed to the scene following the sound.

When they arrived at the scene, there was no sign of the attacker.

Mao Lilan leaned against a big tree and sat slumped on the muddy grass, her face full of shock.

"Are you all right, Miss Maori?" Lin Xinyi asked.

"No, nothing." Mao Lilan said in shock:

"Suddenly a bandage freak attacked me with an axe."

"After I, I dodged a few times, the bandage man saw that he missed the cut, and Conan was also rushing over, so he turned around and fled into the forest."

There was no injury on her body, but her clothes were wet from the rain, and her skirt was also stained with mud, so she looked a little embarrassed.

And Conan was holding an umbrella, standing aside with a serious expression:

He just came out to follow Xiaolan, fearing that she would be abducted by Satoshi Ota to do strange things.

Unexpectedly, after Xiaolan and Ota Satoshi went for a walk in the woods...

Not long after, a terrifying bandage man suddenly appeared in the woods, holding an ax and slashing towards Xiaolan.

Who is that bandage freak?And why did you attack Xiaolan?

Conan stood in the rain under an umbrella, lost in thought.

At the same time, after a brief understanding of the situation, Lin Xinyi's expression was unusually subtle:

"Bandage freak?"

"Even you are so afraid, that guy is very strong?"

"Eh... not very strong."

Mao Lilan slowly recovered from the shock, and then said a little embarrassedly:

"Because that bandaged man looks so scary, I, I thought it was a ghost."

"Are you still afraid of ghosts?" Lin Xinyi's tone became even weirder.

"What, what's wrong... Girls are afraid of ghosts, it's normal!"

Mao Lilan didn't realize at all that she was not a girl at all in Lin Xin's eyes, but a Valkyrie.

"What's so scary about ghosts?"

"It's just a good thing that there are ghosts. Let them come out and speak by themselves in the future, so that we don't have to work hard to help the forensic doctor."

Lin Xinyi complained a few words helplessly.

With that said, he returned to the topic and asked about Mao Lilan's situation at that time:
