Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

The moment Lin Jiashu said this, it was like a streak of lightning suddenly rushed through Conan's mind, making him immediately realize the method of this suicide.

But why is the speed so fast?

Conan looked at Lin Jiashu and opened his mouth subconsciously.

"And then there's the stool next to the body—in this messy space, it's the only one placed so neatly. The reason is that the deceased, in an attempt to commit suicide, arranged the ice and the knife, then stood on the stool and violently dropped his back onto the knife."

"You definitely won't die instantly after being stabbed by a knife."

"So he still had enough energy to struggle and turn over so his back was facing upwards, in order to make it look like a homicide."

After Lin Jiashu finished his inference, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Except for Conan, most people thought it was a bit ridiculous, but looking at the traces at the scene, they couldn't bring themselves to refute it.

Finally, it was Xiaolan who raised the biggest question in her mind: "But why did you use suicide as a way to put the blame on Miss Yoko?"

"I do not know then."

Lin Jiashu responded softly.

A smile graced his unusually exquisite face, but it seemed to be merely a habit. "I'm more accustomed to shooting first and then drawing the target. It's the same with solving a crime. First, I figure out the method, then slowly explore the motive and so on... Besides, I don't even know the deceased's name right now."

"..."

The people around looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Yoko Okino finally couldn't help but speak: "Actually, his name is Tengjiang Mingyi."

"Ms. Yoko!?"

Yamagishi Ei's face turned panicky.

Megure Jusan immediately frowned: "Didn't you say at the beginning that you didn't know this person?"

"..."

Yoko Okino lowered her head.

However, she soon chose to confess: the deceased, Mingyi Tengjiang, was her boyfriend during her student days, and Yoko Okino had actually recognized him the moment she saw his body.

Regarding her story, Lin Jiashu had only one thought: She is indeed an actress. She was flawless when she pretended not to recognize me at first.

"So, after Teng Jiang Mingyi's request for reconciliation was rejected by Miss Yoko, he chose to commit suicide in anger and then put the blame on you?"

Kogoro Mori made an inference.

But surprisingly, Yoko Okino shook her head: "No, he didn't ask me to get back together. This is the first time I met him."

"Ah this"

"No, Uncle Maori, I just saw a strange earring under the sofa."

At this time, Conan took out the earrings he found under the sofa. When Yoko Okino saw them, she immediately recognized that they were the earrings of another idol, Yuko Ikezawa, who debuted at the same time as her.

So the police immediately summoned the other party to the scene.

When the somewhat arrogant Yuko Ikezawa arrived, the whole story became clear.

The missing spare key of manager Sakae Yamagishi was stolen by Yuko Ikeko. She was jealous of Yoko Okino's constant flow of announcements, and to suppress her, she frequently broke into her house, hoping to find dirt on her.

And today, Yoko Okino's ex-boyfriend came to her house and wanted to get back together. After he entered the house, he mistook Ikezawa Yuko's back for Yoko Okino. After he hugged her, Ikezawa Yuko struggled to break free and ran away. Therefore, out of love and hate, he chose to commit suicide and put the blame on her.

Then Yamagishi Eiya confessed:

"Actually... the reason Teng Jiang Mingyi broke up with you, Yoko, was because I went to him and asked for help."

"What?" Yoko Okino was a little bit incredulous.

"Because Yoko's idol activities were on the rise at the time, if the relationship was discovered, it would definitely be a devastating blow. So I went to his house and asked him to break up with you under the pretext of 'for Yoko's future'."

"..."

Yoko Okino looked at her agent intently.

"why is it like this……"

The sentimental Ran Maoli suddenly felt sad. The empathetic Ran put herself in Fujie Akiyoshi's perspective and found that this was a tragedy caused by lies, misunderstandings and coincidences.

But Maori Kogoro sneered:

"Hmph, that's just nice to say. If he left for Miss Yoko's future back then, why would he be seeking a reconciliation now when Miss Yoko's career is at its peak... and even resorting to such extreme measures after failing?"

Whether being discovered in a relationship or being involved in a murder scandal, this is a fatal blow to a popular idol.

"dad……!"

Ran Mao Li felt that her father's ideas were a bit extreme, but for a moment she didn't know how to refute them.

At this time, Conan turned his head and looked at Lin Jiashu:

"Brother Lin Jia, what do you think?"

"me?"

Lin Jiashu, who was just taking out a pen and paper to write something, was taken aback, seemingly unprepared to be asked about himself. However, he still responded with a smile, "I personally don't think it's necessary to criticize or praise the dead."

same.

Nor does he seek aesthetics in death.

Chapter 21: Gin's Text Message

It was about 8:40 when the police left.

Apart from the need for everyone to make a supplementary record later, the case has come to an end. Lin Jiashu and others had no intention of staying to disturb others and soon left Okino Yoko's house.

"Hey, I've always said that young people nowadays are really amazing. Their brains are really quick."

Kogoro Maori praised Hayashi Yoshiki all the way.

In addition to the relationship with Eri Kisaki, it was also because of the commission recommended by Hayashi Yoshiki today that he got Okino Yoko's personal number. When the police left, Okino Yoko planned to pay the commission fee to Mouri Kogoro, but the latter was too embarrassed to accept it, and just asked for two more signatures with a chuckle.

"I can only say that part of it was luck." Lin Jiashu smiled, "And judging from Uncle Maori's expression at the time, he must have noticed something was wrong."

"Hahaha, that's true, just a little bit more!"

(Why are you flattering this foolish old man?)

Looking at Kogoro Mouri covering the back of his head and laughing without any shame, Conan Edogawa's mouth twitched.

but……

Conan couldn't help but look up at Lin Jiashu. Seeing his calm and gentle appearance, he felt a little uneasy.

This was the first time he felt powerless while solving a case.

Even though he had clearly seized the initiative and had more time to think, and before he could connect everything, this person only took two glances at the scene and saw through Teng Jiangmingyi's method of suicide.

Is the way mystery novelists solve cases really so unreasonable?

Conan was a little frustrated by his strong competitive spirit.

However, Conan soon cheered up and thought that he would be able to win the game if he had the chance next time.

Lin Jiashu, whose attention was focused on his phone, did not receive the challenge Conan had issued in his heart. He then lowered his head to look at the naughty kids who had been following him:

"It's so late, let's send these children home first."

"Yes, their families will definitely be worried at this point."

Mao Lilan agreed, resting her hands on her knees and leaning over to the children. "What's your home phone number? Can you call your parents and ask them to come pick you up now?"

"Okay, my home number is..." Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya nodded immediately.

"I'm so hungry, I have to go home quickly..." Kojima Genta touched his stomach with a listless look and almost sat down on the ground.

At this time, Ayumi Yoshida secretly took a step back and carefully pulled the corner of Hayashi Yoshiki's clothes.

Lin Jiashu lowered his head.

"Big brother, Ayumi's home number is..."

Ayumi whispered a little shyly.

Conan, who noticed this nearby, suddenly realized that Ayumi probably wanted to get Lin Yoshiki's cell phone number in this way.

(Primary school students nowadays are too precocious...)

He felt a little emotional.

Lin Jiashu didn't care about all this. After hearing the number, he took out his cell phone and called Ayumi's home while Ayumi was a little excited.

Listening to the repeated thanks and relief from the other end, Lin Jiashu hung up the phone and glanced at Ayumi again: "You stayed out so late without reporting to your family. Don't do this kind of thing in the future."

"Well, Ayumi won't be like this again in the future." The little girl nodded with a well-behaved look on her face.

"Brother Jiashu is right. We really can't do this anymore in the future." Xiaolan also looked at the other two boys seriously.

"We understand, Sister Xiaolan."

"I'm so hungry..."

Kojima Moto soon lost the strength to even stand.

Although Kogoro Mouri kept muttering that children were troublesome... he was just talking, as he actually still had to wait here for a few parents to come and take their children away.

"By the way, Ashu, have you ever considered changing your career to become a detective?"

“I did have this thought.”

Lin Jiashu paused here and said, "But actually, it's also to find inspiration for my next new work."

"Oh! If you have any questions, feel free to come and ask me. Haha, after all, I've been a detective for many years."

"But it seems that your uncle doesn't have any outstanding experience in solving cases?" Conan revealed his past at this time.

"What did you say?!"

Kogoro Mori was furious and immediately attacked with his iron fist.

Glancing at the large bump on Conan's head, Lin Jiashu's tone remained flat:

"I do need to ask Uncle Maori about this. What do I need to do to set up a detective agency?"

"Well, just report it to the police. It's okay if you don't, but it will be inconvenient for some operations. As for publicity, I recommend you get a conspicuous sign like me, hahaha."

The status of detectives in this world is high.

But that is only limited to famous detectives. Ordinary detectives mostly help their clients find pets, track and investigate extramarital affairs and the like... During the period before he became famous, Kogoro Mouri mostly did these things.

Lin Jiashu nodded to show that he understood.

Afterwards, the parents of several naughty children came over and took their children away. The remaining one, Hayashi Yoshiki, declined Maori Kogoro's invitation to "find a place for a drink" and took a taxi to go back home.

On the way, I received a text message from Yoko Okino on my phone:

"I really appreciate Mr. Lin's help today... If you hadn't come here, I don't know what I would have done."

"Anyway, if you need my help from now on, Mr. Lin, please don't hesitate to tell me!"

Yoko Okino and Yoshiki Hayashi just exchanged contact information.

Lin Jiashu quickly edited his reply: "That's nothing, but is Miss Yoko okay now?"

After a while,

"Well, don't worry, I'm fine. I just might not come to this apartment again."

After all, someone died.

It can be seen from this that many housing prices in Beika City will plummet in the future, and the Death God named Edogawa needs to bear most of the responsibility for this.

Lin Jiashu just asked casually.

Fujie Akiyoshi was probably just a symbol of the past for Yoko Okino—his high school days wouldn't necessarily hold any deep memories. But after his previous confessions, even if Yoko understood he was acting in her own best interests, she couldn't work with him anymore.
