Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

"Okay, since you are really concerned about this case, I will reveal some information to you appropriately." Ayanokouji Fumimaro said.

"Ms. Mikata Kyoko is indeed seeking revenge, both for herself and for her good friend, Nagai Nako."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro naturally would not tell the people in front of him about the insults they had suffered, but only briefly described the motive and circumstances of the case.

"In the first case, she deliberately led Jin Tiancun to follow her, and then took advantage of Jin Tiancun's drunkenness to beat him to death with a brick."

"In the second case, she also hanged someone alive herself—"

"Wait, wait—" Hattori Heiji said in disbelief, "She hung him up herself? How is that possible?"

Ayanokouji Fumimaro shrugged. "She said she used a suction cup. She tied a rope around her waist, then used the suction of the cup to crawl forward on the ground, using all her strength to pull the person up."

"Suction cup?" Conan frowned. "The ground over there can indeed be used as a suction cup, but..."

He still felt weird.

"What about the suction cup prop?"

"She got a fever when she got home."

"..."

Conan has reservations about this matter.

"In the third case, she also came to Fuji Shuren's door based on information, and then used her beauty to successfully persuade Fuji Shuren to let her in..."

Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other.

Anzi Mikata really took the initiative to conceal the fact that she was a pimp in the geisha house.

It seems that she did as Mr. Shirakawa said and obtained the letter of apology promised by the Nishizaki family.

Although they knew that the criminal had been given the opportunity to reduce his sentence, Conan and Hattori Heiji were not angry. Instead, they felt relieved.

"In the final case, because Mikata Anko was originally Nishizaki Chiba's lover, she was not on guard against her. When the two were alone together, Nishizaki Chiba drove all of his bodyguards out of the room, which ultimately led to his own death."

After explaining the details of these cases in one breath, Ayanokouji Fumimaro let out a long sigh.

"Regarding Mikata Anzu's testimony, further details need to be verified. Your detective work ends here for today." Ayanokouji Fumimaro patted Conan's head, then looked up at Shirakawa Akane. "It's a bit late today. Mr. Shirakawa, please help me take them back."

Baichuan Qiu nodded: "That's natural."

He glanced at the two of them and said, "Let's go?"

Conan still felt something was amiss, but he had no concrete evidence, so he could only nod: "Okay..."

-

After returning to the Hase family's residence, Conan was still sorting out the clues he had collected in the past few days, checking them over in his mind.

Mao Lilan came over anxiously and called Conan: "Conan, is something wrong with Miss Xingzi?"

Conan looked up and saw Ran Mouri looking worried.

"Yeah." Conan nodded with some difficulty, thinking of the friendship that Mao Lilan had formed with Mikata Anzi in the past two days. "She is the real murderer of the recent cases."

"what?"

Mao Lilan covered her mouth in disbelief.

Miss Xingzi...she actually...

"So how is she now? Is there any problem?" asked Ran Mao Li anxiously.

"Eh? She should be okay now?"

Conan answered uncertainly.

Turning herself in was Ms. Xingzi's own choice. Judging from her state at the time, she must have been very calm...

"I, I'm a little worried about her—"

Mao Lilan clenched her fists, and there was a hint of complexity in her eyes.

"Sister Xiaolan, do you know something?"

After hearing what Maori Ran said, Conan vaguely felt that Xiaolan might know something they didn't know.

Mao Lilan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I saw that she didn't look very good yesterday, so I stayed a little longer before leaving and chatted with Miss Xingzi casually-"

Conan opened his eyes wide.

"She told me she was doing something special but she didn't know if it was the right thing to do."

Mao Lilan lowered her eyes: "I don't know why, but I felt that Miss Anzi was very sad at that time. She didn't look like she was crying, but it seemed like it was raining in her heart."

No wonder Xiaolan looked a little melancholy when she returned to her accommodation yesterday. So this is the case.

Conan asked, "What else did she say?"

Mao Lilan looked melancholy and recalled carefully: "She said -"

"It was and is so hard to watch a friend die."

"But rather than letting her friend live in pain, she chose to let go and help her find freedom—"

……

Hattori Heiji was already brushing his teeth. Just as he spit out a mouthful of foam, the door behind him was opened with a "bang" -

"puff--"

Hattori Heiji was startled and spat out the mouthwash in his mouth.

"Kudo! You have to pee!"

He turned his head speechlessly and looked at the little boy who suddenly broke in.

"Hurry—Hattori, let's go to Gion again!"

Conan looked anxious and grabbed Hattori Heiji's clothes and pulled him out.

"Hey hey—wait a minute!"

Hattori Heiji wiped the foam off his face and ran out with Conan.

"Kudou, what's wrong with you?"

"Nagai Nako is not dead!"

Conan exclaimed.

"What?" Hattori Heiji was shocked. He picked up Conan with short legs and ran out at a fast pace. "What's going on?"

"Monk! That monk is Nagai Nako!" Conan said.

"what?"

Hattori Heiji was shocked.

"Let's go to the monk's restaurant first! I'm worried something might happen to her!"

Then the two of them hurried to the restaurant.

Unfortunately, they were already one step too late, and there was no one in the restaurant.

——The "monk" is missing!

"I should have thought of that earlier!" Conan clenched his fists in frustration. "The nun is old, and it's said her spine has always been in bad condition. Her chance of survival in the fire is the lowest! And Nagai Nako, as a young person, is the one most likely to escape!"

Unfortunately, however, Nagai Nako, who escaped, had already been burned beyond recognition by the fire, with not a single piece of good flesh on her body. In the end, for some unknown reason, she replaced the monk's identity, returned to the monk's restaurant, and continued her work as a monk.

No wonder Anko Mikata and even other people in the geisha house often come here to help. I guess they all know about it!

And the reason why Anko Mikata took action this time... was probably because her friend couldn't bear the pain from the burns and the scars that couldn't be removed, and wanted to free herself, so she decided to help kill those who caused her friend to end up in this situation, so that Nagai Nako could get physical and mental relief!

As for the other people in the geisha house... Conan had always suspected that they had helped in the second case. After all, such a heavy person was still struggling. Even if Anko Mikata had a suction cup, it would not be easy to hang him up. The other people in the geisha house at that time were the best assistants, and they could even work together to distort the testimony!

And in the third and fourth cases, how could it be so coincidental that Fuji Shuren and Nishizaki Chiru both met with Mikata Kyoko? Could it be that the geisha Fuji Shuren ordered wasn't Mikata Kyoko at all, but someone else, and they coordinated to replace her with Mikata Kyoko? And Nishizaki Chiru's lover... perhaps the same method was used.

And because it involved illegal business, the deceased must have cleared up all the clues himself for the sake of caution, so the police would not realize that the person they originally met was not Sanfang Anzi.

——So they have been helping her get revenge in their own way!

No, it's also revenge for myself!
