I fooled the whole world

"Looks like an ordinary person."

Ordinary...use this to evaluate a student who can be admitted to Tokyo University?

No, that doesn't mean it can't be done. After all, no one stipulates that you can't be ordinary if you get admitted to Tokyo University.

But this is not the crux of the problem. The crux of the problem lies in the family atmosphere behind Xiaolin's family, and why it is said that Xiaolin Yimeng killed their whole family, and what does it mean to have been entangled for five years.

"Xiao Lin Yimeng's parents separated when he was 16 years old, and then Xiao Lin Yuanzi and Xiao Lin Ye got married, and Xiao Lin Minoru was already eight years old at the time. This means that when Xiao Lin Yimeng was eight years old, Xiao Lin Yuanzi and Xiao Lin Ye got together. No, earlier."

"After all, I still have to carry the baby for ten months."

"When Xiao Lin Yimeng was 17 years old, his younger brother died. His younger brother was nine years old at that time."

"Five years have passed now, which means Xiaolin Yimeng is now 22 years old."

"As for why it is said that Xiaolin Yimeng killed their whole family, it is because Xiaolin Yimeng's younger brother was killed by Xiaolin Yimeng, and Xiaolin Minoru and Xiaolin Sonoko died in exactly the same way."

"Only Xiao Linye's death method is different from them."

Tomoyo quickly spread out the information he got, and the information he got was very clear and clear. He even told the story of Kobayashi Yimeng being traced.

Chitanda Houtaro listened and nodded silently, feeling that what his senior said made sense.

But as he clicked and clicked, he suddenly realized that something... seemed not quite right.

No, Kobayashi Minoru was killed by Kobayashi Yimeng?The whole Kobayashi family, Kobayashi Yuanzi and Kobayashi Minoru, were all killed by Kobayashi Yimeng?

Where did this conclusion come from?

Although I have also speculated whether there are rumors, but senior, why are you so sure? It's as if Kobayashi Ichimu really killed Kobayashi Minoru.

Looking at his expression, Tomoyo raised the phone in his hand.

"Just ask about this."

"Those guys at Sakurada Gate must have information. They sent it over after I opened my mouth."

Chitanda Houtaro: "..."

I even forgot that we have the help of Sakurada Gate.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"So, senior, what does the information say?"

"The information says that after Kobayashi Minoru died, Kobayashi Sonoko became crazy and insisted that it was Kobayashi Yimeng who killed him. He even refused to take the case, so they had no choice but to track down Xiaolin Yimeng for five years. .”

Did Sonoko Kobayashi say... This is similar to Houtaro Chitanda's guess.

He also speculated that there must be some rumors that it was Kobayashi Yimeng, so he was traced for five years.

But he didn't expect that the guy who insisted that it was Xiaolin Yimeng killed him was actually Xiaolin Yuanzi.

Not only did he tamper with Yimeng Xiaobayashi's graduation wish, but he also said that Yimeng Xiaolin was actually killed by Yimeng Xiaolin.

This stepmother...

She is indeed the stepmother in everyone’s stereotype.

But... why did Kobayashi Yuanzi say that Kobayashi Yimeng killed him?

It is understandable that Kobayashi Yimeng and Kobayashi Yuanzi have conflicts, but why is Minoru Kobayashi the one who is killed?What are the conflicts between Minoru Kobayashi and Yimeng Kobayashi?

"This is also a question I want to ask, but I didn't ask them to send the transcript. Rather than having preconceived notions after reading the transcript, I still hope to get the news as soon as possible."

As a detective, you need to look at problems rationally, objectively, and from the overall perspective.

It is good to note that Sakuradamon took away Ichimu Kobayashi, but it will give people a first impression. For example, when they see a person for the first time, the image of a well-dressed person and a sloppily-dressed person will give people two different impressions. A different concept, and this concept will affect the subsequent actions and thinking.

Therefore, Tomoyo does not need written records for the time being.

She put her phone away and continued: "Okay, let's go see Xiaolin Yimeng."

The two followed the house number to the door of Xiaolin's house. They rang the doorbell of Xiaolin's house, and a ding-dong sound rang in the house. After a while, a sound came from the house.

"coming."

The person inside the house pushed the door open. He did not take off the anti-theft chain, but looked at them through the crack in the door and asked, "Who are you?"

"We are from Sakurada Gate. There are some things I want to ask you. Can we go in and talk?"

Tomoyo took out his ID and showed it to Kobayashi Yimeng. Kobayashi Yimeng at the door looked at the ID, and then looked at them, with a hint of impatience on his face... No, it was a kind of powerlessness. It's like being accused by thousands of people but unable to prove your innocence.

He opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again, then took off the anti-theft chain and opened the door to let them in.

"You two, please come in."

"excuse me."

The two walked into the house.

This is a very ordinary house, not too big, with two rooms, a living room and a kitchen and bathroom. The living room is equipped with a dining table, a coffee table, a sofa, and even a TV.

After the Star Alliance incident, there is still such a big room and so much furniture... I have to say that the Xiaolin family, or this building, is very lucky.

Because this building was lucky enough to have escaped the indiscriminate bombings of the Star Alliance and was one of the few safe buildings. This was also the reason why they could still live in such a large room.

But now, only Xiaolin Yimeng lives in this huge house.

At this moment, wearing a blue shirt, black trousers, and slippers, with his hair neatly styled, and his eyes giving off the impression that he is still very young and has just stepped out of society, Kobayashi Yimeng is sitting. on the sofa.

"Officer, I still have work today. Can you ask your questions faster? I have to catch up on work."

"Well, hurry up, don't worry, we're just asking a few questions, we won't waste much of your time."

Tomoyo came to sit opposite him, paused for a moment, and then went directly to the topic.

"Your stepmother... Mrs. Kobayashi Sonoko died two days ago. It was raining heavily when she died. She jumped from the roof of the twelfth floor with an umbrella in her hand."

"This way of death is exactly the same as the way your brother died. I want to know why this happened."

This question... Even Chitanda Houtaro felt a little confused.

He looked at Tomoyo with a hint of...astonishment.

Not only Chitanda Houtaro, but also Kobayashi Kazmu.

Xiao Lin Yimeng thought it was a bit outrageous. How could anyone come up and ask such a question.

As the presumed murderer, it does not mean that he has not been investigated in the past five years, but even so, he has never encountered such a situation where he asked you if you killed your stepmother.

Good guy, just treat him as a criminal and then ask him about his killing methods and reasons for killing, right?

It's not so straightforward to get straight to the point. Why don't you beat around the bush a little bit?

This has no technical content.

So his answer was very direct.

"...Officer, you shouldn't ask me this question, but ask her. How do I know she ran out and jumped off the building in the middle of the night, and she was carrying an umbrella."

"You don't know? As Xiaolin Yuanzi's only relative, wouldn't you know that something happened to her?"

"Why should I know that something happened to her?"

"She is your relative."

"she is not."

Tomoyo seemed to have determined that Kobayashi Ichimu was the murderer, and asked him in a tone of asking him why he killed his stepmother.

That sentence "She is your relative" is like asking Xiao Lin Yimeng, can't you bear it?Wouldn't you hesitate?That is your stepmother, even if she is not related by blood, at least in this capacity she is.

Do you really hate to attack your stepmother?

Faced with Tomoyo's aggressive question from the beginning, Kobayashi Yimeng's voice couldn't help but rise a little higher.

He looked at Tomoyo and denied her almost as soon as Tomoyo finished her sentence.

Is she his relative?No, she is not!

When he said this, Xiaolin Yimeng's eyes and expression changed slightly, as if some emotion was about to emerge, but he quickly hid it.

He seemed to relax his body later, and then sighed and said: "Officer, I don't know if you know my situation, but... at least I hope you remember that she is not my relative."

"No one who has ever lived in this house is my relative."

"My relatives...are no longer here."

"——So, this is the reason why you killed your stepmother?"

You killed her because she was not your relative?

"No, sir, your question is a bit wrong. Just because I don't recognize her as my relative doesn't mean I want to kill her. What reason do I have to kill her..."

"——She tampered with your choice, and you failed to go to the University of Tokyo."

"!?"

Following Tomoyo's words, Kobayashi Yimeng, who was originally relaxed, couldn't help but clenched his fists. He raised his head, and his calm expression completely disappeared at that moment, as if he was recalling something he didn't want to recall. Hell, the emotions that had been suppressed surged up in an instant.

He opened his mouth, as if something was coming to his lips.

However, when the words came to his throat, he stopped again and closed his open mouth again.

He lowered his head again.

"Yes... you are right, officer, I want to kill her... I have even dreamed of killing her... I can't wait to kill her with my own hands!"

"She ruined everything for me, ruined my future, ruined my hopes, everything about me has been ruined. I really want to kill her, why can't I kill her?"

"That's my wish, that's my hope. She's not my mother. How could she ruin everything for me!"

"She can destroy everything for me, so why can't I kill her!"

The voice had a hint of growl, like a beast that wanted to roar but was restrained from roaring. Although it was not loud, it was full of hatred, a hatred that could not be concealed at all.

Xiao Lin Yimeng hates his stepmother!

"——So, you really took action?"

The voice was still calm. Although Kobayashi Yimeng looked a little scary, Tomoyo, who had experienced strong winds and waves, still maintained his calmness and rationality, and held on to the core point without letting go.

Xiao Lin Yimeng, did he kill his stepmother?

"No."

Holding his head with both hands and burying his fingers in his hair, Xiao Lin Yimeng shook his head.

"If I want to kill her, I have countless opportunities... Whether it is the Star Alliance incident or other times, I have many opportunities to kill her, especially the Star Alliance incident. I can almost My guilt was cleared, but why would I kill her at this time?"

"And in this way."

"I was already suspected of killing my brother. Now if I kill her in this way, won't I tell others that I am the murderer?"

The voice was deep, as if he wanted to kill, but didn't dare to.

That kind of emotion and entanglement is vividly displayed.

And Kobayashi Yimeng also made a lot of sense. He really had no need to kill Kobayashi Sonoko.

If he wanted to kill Xiaolin Yuanzi, he would have many opportunities, and there was no need to kill him at this time.

The Star Alliance killed Kobayashi Yuanzi, who would attribute this problem to Kobayashi Yimeng?And after so many years, if Xiao Lin Yimeng really wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago.

Why take action now?

This is indeed an issue that needs attention.

When Tomoyo heard this question, he couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, she had no words to refute this view.

And he died in the exact same way as Kobayashi did.

This is tantamount to gathering everyone's eyes, and then saying that everyone's eyes are on me, I am announcing something, I am a murderer.

This behavior is too clumsy and does not look like the murderer who committed such a murder.

but......

"This doesn't rule out that you did it on purpose, just to get a black eye, right?"

It is not impossible to deliberately use such clumsy behavior to conceal one's true purpose.

It was just Xiaolin Yimeng who stood up silently.

"But officer, this is just your guess, isn't it?"]
