The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Neither of them dared to look directly into Harui Fuden's eyes, so they had to turn their heads away.

Among them, Zheng Yingmanli quickly cast a meaningful look at Fan Tianli, and Fan Tianli nodded at her calmly.

Compared to the diverse expressions of the three people, Xinghe Tongwu's face at this moment was filled with silence.

He didn't want to talk much, nor did he dare to talk much.

..........................

Upstairs, Master Zhengying’s room.

Since Bai Ma Song and Sato Miwako came up, Bai Ma Song led her directly into this room instead of rushing to the archive room which was most likely the first crime scene.

As soon as she entered Master Zhengying's room, Sato Miwako couldn't wait to ask Bai Basong,

"A Song, what do you think of what Mrs. Zhengying and Mr. Fan Tian just said?"

"Is there really another bandit? Are all our speculations before today wrong?"

"hehe,"

Bai Ma Song sneered and glanced at Sato Miwako.

"Our speculation was not wrong."

"It's just that they are lying."

Bai Masong was very sure of his guess, not only because of its logical reasoning, but also because of the uneasy feelings shown by Zheng Yingmanli and Fan Tianli just now.

Before this, Zhengying Manli had never mentioned the existence of thieves. When Fan Tianli first heard about this, he was surprised.

At this time, both are still very normal.

However, since some point, something was wrong with Zhengyingmanli.

Bai Masong recalled carefully, it should be when they were taking notes and questioning Xinghe Tongwu, intending to confirm from him how the case happened.

In other words, after hearing what happened, that is, after hearing that Himemiya Nobuko's body suddenly appeared after the power outage, Masae Manri began to behave in a different way.

Why is this?

Bai Masong can only think of one possibility at the moment, that is, Zhengying Manli already knew the method and who the murderer was just by hearing these few details.

And it was precisely because she knew the identity of the murderer that she broke her usual practice and came forward to fabricate a false identity in order to divert the police's investigation onto another path.

Fan Tianli is even slower than Zhengying Manli.

This can be seen from the fact that when he first heard Masae Manri's lies, he believed them and hurriedly asked about them. He really wanted to find the murderer of the deceased Himimiya Nobuko as soon as possible.

However, perhaps because he saw Zhengying Manli's unusual behavior and had some understanding of the murderer's method, he guessed the murderer and the murderer's method when Zhengying Manli was answering the police.

So he personally stepped in to protect the murderer.

So, here comes the question...

"Who is the murderer? Who could possibly make Zheng Ying Manli and Fan Tianli lie in person, and even protect him regardless of their fellow disciples who have already died?"

Miwako Sato also immediately thought of the key point and answered her own questions.

Bai Masong smiled and gave the answer at the same time as her.

"Xinghe Tongwu" x2

The two looked at each other and nodded silently.

Only Xinghe Tongwu, who is also a disciple of the same school and is closer to Zhengying Manli and Fan Tianli, could make them even go to the extent of giving false testimony to protect him.

"Ha ha,"

Sato Miwako laughed with relief and satisfaction.

"We were originally wondering who the murderer was, but it turned out that Mrs. Zhengying and Mr. Fantian's abnormal behavior directly gave us the name of the murderer."

"No,"

Bai Masong shook his head lightly.

"Even without their abnormal behavior, we can directly identify the murderer."

"Eh?"

Sato Miwako was puzzled.

"Why can we identify the murderer directly? Is it because Mr. Xinghe is a little abnormal? But I feel that his answers are similar to Mr. Fan Tian's."

"We have fallen into a misunderstanding before,"

Bai Ma Song explained to Sato Miwako calmly,

"We all thought that whoever had the time to commit the crime was the murderer."

"But, in reality, committing a crime is far from that simple."

"Take Ms. Tanaka Takahisa and Mr. Fan Tianli for example. They both had the time to commit the crime."

"However, this is only theoretical. It is unlikely that either of them actually committed the crime."

"Mr. Fan Tian went into the room and slept as soon as he entered the door, and no one saw him come out during that time."

"Then, if he wanted to commit the crime, there would inevitably be a problem - that is, he was not sure how many people were upstairs when he went upstairs to kill Miss Himimiya Nobuko."

"What if Mr. Xinghe Dougo was next to her at the time, or if there was someone else next to her?"

"Mr. Fan Tian never left the room, or at least he never entered the living room from our sight, which means he couldn't know how many people were upstairs."

"Under these circumstances, the possibility that he would be able to climb upstairs and kill Miss Himemiya Nobuko is extremely small."

"I see,"

Miwako Sato understood immediately after hearing what Bai Basong said.

"If he wants to kill someone, he must ensure that the environment is undisturbed. But if he can't be sure of this, then he can't kill rashly."

"The reason why we thought that anyone who had the opportunity to kill someone could be the murderer was actually because we were both in the living room. So we subconsciously thought that Miss Himemiya Nobuko was just staying upstairs waiting for the murderer to kill her. In fact, this is not advisable because the murderer didn't know that Miss Himemiya Nobuko was alone upstairs."

"That's right,"

Bai Masong nodded slightly and continued,

"Mr. Fan Tian is therefore ruled out, and the same is true for Ms. Tanaka Takahirae."

"After she left, she could have returned to kill someone, but after she left, there was no way to be sure if there was anyone upstairs, so she couldn't have justified killing someone."

"But Xinghe Tongwu is different. He followed Himimiya Nobuko upstairs from the beginning. After he killed the man, he could have observed our movements from upstairs based on the sounds."
