Chapter 96: Chapter 96
Lin Yi nodded calmly, then turned around and walked away, waving his hand, leaving only an image of his elegant back.
"Are you sure you really want to do this?"
Kogoro Mouri heard Lin Yi's suggestion that he should be the one to solve the case, and his expression showed surprise, disbelief, and astonishment.
He couldn't help but remind him: "Lin, this is a great opportunity for you to get famous! Are you sure you want to let this chance of fame slip away?"
Look, even the way he addressed him changed to "kid."
Fame? Can't I get it anytime?
What I need now is to make a good impression, a really good impression.
I want Ran to be the one to take me to meet her beautiful mother.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "My deduction was just a lucky guess, pure coincidence. But, Uncle Mouri, you have a solid foundation, unlike me, who just had luck on my side."
"Fame and all that isn't what I want... I think a simple life suits me better."
Saying this, Lin Yi looked at Ran and asked, "Right?"
Ran, with a face full of happiness, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, simplicity is the greatest happiness."
"Well... very well."
Kogoro Mouri saw that Lin Yi was not eager for fame and nodded in satisfaction. "I expected no less from the guy my daughter fell for... Well!"
"Since you're insisting, then I won't refuse!"
After adjusting his clothes, Kogoro Mouri eagerly approached Inspector Megure.
Seeing Lin Yi pass up the chance for fame, Ran happily leaned on his shoulder. Now, she was more confident than ever in her initial decision.
She wasn't asking for much; she just wanted company and someone who could provide her with security.
Ran was immersed in an atmosphere of happiness as Lin Yi watched Kogoro Mouri start his deduction show.
Things were beginning to move in a positive direction. The police investigators had already found Ikezawa Yuko's earring under the sofa and had also called the person involved to the crime scene.
Although Ikezawa Yuko seemed mature, she was actually only one year older than Okino Yoko.
A 23-year-old girl, even in the entertainment world, still didn't have enough life experience.
In the original work, Conan easily confused her with a simple question: "How did you know it was a lighter?" forcing her to confess.
If it had been Lin Yi, he would have answered naturally, "I saw a similar lighter in a store," covering any mistakes in his words.
Trying to trick her with that tactic? Impossible!
After Kogoro Mouri explained the details of the murder case.
Ikezawa Yuko, unable to compete with those veterans, voluntarily confessed to the illegal trespassing with a little manipulation.
Speaking of her, she also seemed like a beginner actress.
As a public figure, she had directly gotten involved in something so risky.
Why didn't she trust the paparazzi to investigate the scandal? By simply giving them the key and Okino Yoko's schedule, they would have done a better job than she did.
Now, the result was the worst possible: she didn't get her scandal, was arrested for trespassing, and her career was ruined.
If she had some fame and benefits for her agency, they might have helped her, after all, she would have been like a golden goose.
But, seeing how they had stolen her role, it was clear she didn't have much fame; she was probably finished.
Thinking about this, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head.
As the officers collected evidence in an orderly manner at the scene, Lin Yi observed the lifeless body on the floor and thought deeply: How did the victim know Okino Yoko's address?
In theory, a major celebrity's address isn't something anyone can figure out.
However, if we consider the level of hatred the victim had for Okino Yoko, it is likely that he had followed her for some time, which would have allowed him to discover her address.
It wasn't the first time such extreme perverted behavior had been seen in obsessive fans.
Inspector Megure didn't expect that, upon arrival, Kogoro Mouri had already solved the case. Surprised, he said: "Mouri, I didn't expect you to become so skilled since the last time."
"Hahaha... it's nothing," Mouri replied, trying to hide his evident pride.
"Alright... you can take the body," Megure said, gesturing to the officers.
Two policemen approached and carried the body on a stretcher.
Since the case was solved, they no longer worried about damaging the body. They removed the weapon from the body to hand it over to the forensic team, then placed the corpse in a bag and lifted it onto the stretcher.
However, just as they were about to leave, Lin Yi stopped them.
"One moment... can I see the body?" Lin Yi suddenly asked, surprising both Kogoro Mouri and Megure.
Kogoro Mouri approached and asked, "What's the matter, Lin?"
"I just thought... it could be one of my friends," Lin Yi said hesitantly. "Although we haven't seen each other in a long time..."
Upon hearing this, Mouri sighed in relief; for a moment, he thought he had deduced something wrong.
He looked at Megure, who nodded and saw no problem.
"Go ahead," Mouri said.
Lin Yi opened the bag and looked at the deceased. Noticing the clean skin on his chest, he commented: "He looks... but my friend had a mole under his neck, and he doesn't. I was mistaken."
After closing the bag, he watched the officers take the body away.
"There's always one truth! The murder case has been solved."
Megure patted Kogoro Mouri on the back and laughed, "Thanks to you, Mouri. We closed the case in less than 30 minutes!"
"It's nothing, Inspector Megure," Kogoro Mouri responded with a hearty laugh.
"It's getting late... tomorrow come by the office to make your statement; I have to go back to dinner," Megure said, bidding farewell before leaving, leaving the rest of the scene to his colleagues.
Ikezawa Yuko was arrested by the police for "illegal trespassing."
Okino Yoko and Yamagishi Eiichi didn't stay long either. They also had to give statements to the police, so after bidding farewell to Kogoro Mouri, they left. As for the fees, they agreed to handle them another time.
After everyone had left the apartment, Kogoro Mouri let out three hearty laughs.
However, he soon noticed that Lin Yi had a somewhat strange expression, so he asked him about the case: "Lin, why aren't you happy?"
With the others gone, Lin Yi finally shared his thoughts: "Uncle Mouri... the deceased's chest was so clean, with no bloodstains... This doesn't match my deduction."
"Oh? What discrepancy did you find?" Kogoro Mouri asked, raising an eyebrow.
"If the deceased fell on his back and then stabbed himself... the floor should have blood stains, right?" Lin Yi explained. "Then, when he turned over to make his suicide look like a murder, his chest should have been stained with blood."
Kogoro Mouri thought for a moment, and after a few seconds, he replied seriously: "You're only considering that he turned over in the same spot, right?"
"You must know that, with a wound on his back, it's very hard to turn over in the same place... He must have made a considerable effort using his shoulder to turn over, that's why his chest remained clean of blood."
"Ah..."
Lin Yi understood and immediately praised Mouri: "Uncle Mouri, there's no doubt you have experience as a detective, you're amazing!"
"Hahaha... it's nothing!"
