Chapter 211 Angel’s Tears

"The murderer is indeed me."

Mrs. Ikemura briefly talked about her exposed modus operandi.

She even provided evidence:

It's the custom-made keychain on her body with needle-like grooves to hide poisonous needles.

Because Mao Lilan solved the case so quickly, Mrs. Chicun had no chance to process this key evidence.

With this keychain on her body that can detect residual toxins, and the testimony of many witnesses, she has no chance of resisting.

Therefore, Mrs. Ikemura simply confessed her crime honestly.

After figuring out the truth, Hattori Heiji's dark face turned blue, red, and purple, as if it had turned into a human-shaped LED light.

The reasoning that co-authored his long argument just now is completely wrong.

He simply fell in love with the murderer's plan and became the big stupid fish caught on the fishing line.

"This this"

Hattori Heiji was so embarrassed that he could pick out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Looking at Mao Lilan, who looked innocent and harmless, there was only resentment in his tone:

"Miss Maori, since you have discovered the truth, why do you still want me to reason?"

"Because I'm not yet confident about my abilities, so I want to hear the detective's reasoning to see if I've made any mistakes."

Mao Lilan answered very naturally.

Her eyes were pure and flawless when she spoke, and there was no trace of malice at all.

But to the ears of the Great Detective Hattori Heiji, this sentence seemed like a curse from the Great Onmyoji, and it became a cruel mockery.

"Yes, I lost."

Hattori Heiji blushed with shame and admitted his failure:

"I didn't expect that just a disciple of Mr. Lin would have such strength."

"I'm willing to give up."

After accepting his defeat calmly, the competitive man gradually calmed down:

"I was so eager to win that I ignored the details."

"Miss Maori, you do have the qualities of a detective better than me, a so-called famous detective."

Hattori Heiji lost completely.

He was convinced of Mao Lilan's performance and did not hesitate to praise it.

But Mao Lilan, her opponent, seemed not too interested in the victory she won.

She just responded to Hattori Heiji's compliments with a lack of interest, then turned her head with a low expression, and quietly looked at the motionless body lying on the ground with her big eyes shining with tears.

"Miss Maori, are you unhappy?"

Only then did Hattori Heiji belatedly notice:

This Maori lady, who completely surpassed him in reasoning, showed no joy at all after defeating his famous detective.

Not only was she unhappy, she even had tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful.

Under the puzzled gaze of Hattori Heiji, Mao Lilan was silent for a long time before saying:

"I told you, solving crimes is not a game."

"Witnessing the passing of a life is never something worth making people happy about."

She said something that Hattori Heiji had never understood before.

Conan, who was watching quietly from the side, was also deeply touched by his childhood sweetheart's words.

These words may sound a bit false, but when spoken from the mouth of this kind-hearted Maori lady, they always have the power to touch people's hearts:

"Moreover, when Mr. Ikemura was in the most pain and in need of help, I failed to listen to him in time."

"I missed it. I watched him die in front of me."

She bit her lip tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"What a kind lady."

Even Mrs. Chicun, the murderer, was moved by Mao Lilan's purity and kindness.

She took the initiative to stand up and comfort the girl who had failed her:

"Miss Mori, there is no need for you to feel sentimental about this kind of person."

"Because this bastard Isao Ikemura deserves it!"

"I did commit murder, but I absolutely, absolutely will not regret it."

Mrs. Ikemura's words contained indelible hatred.

Then, under the shocked and puzzled eyes of everyone, she finally revealed her motive for the murder.

It turns out that twenty years ago, before marrying Ikemura Isao, Mrs. Ikemura Koshie was the wife of a Mr. Yamashiro.

Mr. Yamashiro is a colleague of Isao Ikemura at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a diplomat.

However, Ikemura Isao coveted the beauty of Ikemura Koe, who was still "Mrs. Yamashiro" at that time, so he secretly framed him and accused Mr. Yamashiro of corruption.

In this way, according to the standard procedure for Japanese politicians to die unnaturally

The diplomat Mr. Yamashiro first exposed the corruption scandal and committed suicide at home within a few days.

After Yamashiro's death, Ikemura Isao decisively abandoned his first wife, took advantage of the situation, and caught up with Mrs. Yamashiro who had just become a widow at that time.

Therefore, Shancheng Gongjiang was renamed Chicun Gongjiang.

The two had been living happily ever after until recently.

Ikemura Isao's son Ikemura Takashi found a girlfriend named Gui Mu Sachiko, and Miss Sachiko turned out to be exactly the same as Mrs. Ikemura when she was young.

It turned out that she was the daughter born to Mrs. Chicun and her ex-husband, but she was later forcibly taken away and adopted by her ex-husband's family, and she had not seen her biological mother for many years.

Because Ikemura Isao overreacted and became overly emotional about this matter, he accidentally exposed the incident that framed Yamashiro.

Mrs. Chicun finally knew the truth about her ex-husband’s injustice and loss.

She was so filled with resentment that she decided to kill Isao Ikemura, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Dad. Dad, is he this kind of person?"

After hearing about his father's twists and turns and bizarre dark history, Ikemura Takayama was completely stunned.

Look at my girlfriend Sachiko Katsuragi next to me:

"And my fiancée is my stepmother's biological daughter, so she is considered my sister?"

Young Mr. Takayama Ikemura felt that his world was about to collapse.

Mrs. Ikemura confirmed in a calm tone:

"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask your grandpa."

"He also knows the scandal Ikemura Isao did back then."

"That's why I thought of using a fishing line to put the blame on him - because I knew he would definitely not be able to bear the guilt in his heart and would be willing to take the blame for me."

"Alas" Mr. Toshimitsu Ikemura let out a long sigh, admitting the facts Mrs. Ikemura said.

In this way, the deceased Ikemura Isao's ugly face of framing, murdering and seizing his wife was completely exposed.

"So, Miss Mori"

Mrs. Chicun turned around and comforted Mao Lilan:

"You don't even have to blame yourself for not saving this bastard."

"He was meant to die - God took him away!"

"."

Mao Lilan was silent for a while.

But in the end, she still whispered:

"But...but my job should be to save lives, not to decide whether others live or die."

"Wouldn't it be too despicable for me to use that person's death as an excuse to cover up my negligence?"

Her eyes were too clean when she spoke.

Mrs. Chicun looked at him for a long time, but she could no longer say the words full of resentment and hatred.

"What a pure child."

"Like an angel."

Seeing the tears in Mao Lilan's eyes, as a murderer, she actually felt like she had been redeemed:

"Maybe it's my luck to meet you!"

Mrs. Chicun sighed deeply.

In a daze, she just felt that she had done something wrong to make an angel like Mao Lilan shed tears who was supposed to be with the light.

On the side, Conan and Hattori Heiji, the two great detectives, were also lost in thought under the tears of Miss Mori.

They couldn't help but start to reflect on whether they were missing something important compared to Mao Lilan.

And Mao Lilan is still blaming himself for his performance just now.

Even though she knew this was a bad guy, she still felt painful that she could not save him:

"I obviously should have discovered it."

"If I could have discovered it earlier, maybe, maybe he wouldn't have died."

"No, you don't need to blame yourself so much."

"It is impossible to save a person whose carotid artery is injected with a highly toxic substance."

A powerful voice came from the side.

That's Lin Xinyi.

After receiving the police call, he discovered that the villa where the crime occurred happened to be in the villa area of ​​Mihua Town, and was not far from where Sister Xiaoai lived.

So he simply put down the book, said goodbye to Xiao Ai, and ran over directly.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, Lin Xinyi witnessed the "wonderful" reasoning showdown between Hattori Heiji and Mao Lilan.

And he also noticed that his overly kind student was suffering from her mistakes.

But this is not necessary.

Because Isao Ikemura was stabbed in the neck with a poisonous needle, and the artery was stabbed.

Toxins injected through the carotid artery, a dangerous injection method, can rush into the brain as quickly as possible and spread throughout the body.

In this case, according to current medical methods, it is impossible to rescue the victim.

Even if the murderer used tetrodotoxin, which could theoretically survive on his own, it would still be impossible.

Lin Xinyi carefully controlled the dosage last time and used a relatively safe subcutaneous injection method. It still took so much effort to barely bring Miyano Akemi, who was suspended from death, back from the brink of death.

To a certain extent, this is due to the fact that Miyano Akemi's physique is different from ordinary people and she created medical miracles on her own.

And whoever uses carotid artery injection will also inject tetrodotoxin, a highly toxic substance.

All we can say is that Jesus could not protect him.

"So, Miss Maori, you don't need to feel too guilty at all."

"Even if you rescue him in time, there is absolutely no chance that the deceased will survive."

Lin Xinyi comforted him gently.

"Mr. Lin" Mao Lilan looked over with some gratitude.

But in her eyes, there were still tears of self-blame rolling slightly:

"But... I still made a mistake, didn't I?"

"This" Lin Xinyi was speechless for a moment:

It was not found out that the deceased had faked his death at the beginning. This was indeed an inevitable mistake.

But Mao Lilan is just a fledgling student, and she was confused by the illusion set by the murderer. How can we blame her?

"Then remember this lesson and imprint it in your heart."

"This is also a kind of growth for you."

Lin Xinyi changed his approach and educated him with sincerity.

Seeing Mao Lilan crying so hard, he thought for a while and finally handed the tissue over:

"Wipe your tears!"

"Yeah" Mao Lilan took the tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Then, she quietly clenched her fists and said to Lin Xinyi very solemnly:

"Mr. Lin, I will definitely remember today's lesson!"

This scene is both touching and inspiring.

Miss Maori, who has taken an important step on the path of forensic medicine, looks radiant at the moment.

But in the eyes of Conan children, it has a completely different taste.

Because he subconsciously turned on the vinegar cylinder power unit from the moment Lin Xin appeared.

Especially when Lin Xinyi thoughtfully handed over a tissue and asked Mao Lilan to wipe her tears.

The Conan child felt even more unhappy:

"Damn it. At such an important moment, it is Lin Xinyi who is accompanying Xiaolan."

"I should be the one wiping Xiaolan's tears!"

The more Conan thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He was so suffocated that his forehead started to sweat, his face turned red, and his whole body felt hot.

Then, in his resentful eyes.

Mao Lilan, who came out of the pain, still blushed slightly, and said to Lin Xinyi, who saw her embarrassed appearance, with some embarrassment:

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

"It should be my greatest luck to be able to study with you."

Hearing this, Conan's mind went crazy.

I don't know if it's because I'm jealous or for some other reason.

His mind went blank and he fell down in a daze.
