Chapter 96 - Chapter 96

"Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Mouri Kogoro was surprised, unbelievable, and incredulous when he heard Lin Yi's proposal to let him come forward to solve the case!

He couldn't help but reminded: "Lin boy, this is a good opportunity for you to become famous! Are you sure you want to give up the opportunity to become famous?"

Look, the address has changed from name to boy.

I want to be famous, isn't it a matter of minutes?

I want impression points now, impression points.

Waiting for Xiaolan to take me to see her beautiful mother on her own initiative.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "My reasoning was just a fluke, it was just luck. And Uncle Mouri, you are a person with a solid foundation, unlike me, a lucky person."

"Fame and the like are not what I want... I think a plain life is very suitable for me."

Speaking of this, Lin Yi looked back at Xiaolan and said: "Right?"

Xiaolan nodded with a happy face: "Yes, yes, plainness is the greatest happiness!"

"Good... very good."

Mouri Kogoro nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Lin Yi regarded fame as nothing: "As expected of the guy my daughter likes... Good!"

"Since you've said so, then I won't refuse!"

After Mouri Kogoro tidied up his clothes, he walked towards Megure Juzo with high spirits.

Seeing Lin Yi give up the good opportunity to become famous, Xiaolan leaned on his shoulder happily. She now feels that her decision was extremely clear!

Her requirements are not high, and the things she needs are simple, that is, to be with her and give her a sense of security.

That's enough!

While Ran was immersed in the happy atmosphere, Lin Yi watched Kogoro Mouri begin his reasoning show.

Things were developing in a positive direction, as the police investigators had already found Yuko Ikezawa's earring under the sofa, and the person involved had been summoned to the crime scene.

Despite Yuko Ikezawa's mature appearance, she was actually only one year older than Yoko Okino.

At 23 years old, even if she was in the entertainment industry, her social experience was far from sufficient.

In the original story, Conan simply used the line, "How do you know it's a lighter?" to throw her into disarray, and then she had no choice but to confess.

If it were Lin Yi, he would definitely say in a very natural way, "I've seen similar lighters in the mall," directly covering up his slip-up.

Want to trick him into revealing information in this way? No way!

After Kogoro Mouri explained the process and outcome of the murder.

How could Yuko Ikezawa be a match for those seasoned veterans? With a combination of coaxing and deception.

This young girl actively confessed to her illegal entry.

Speaking of which, Yuko Ikezawa was also a brainless actress.

As a public figure, she actually took it upon herself to do these things.

Wouldn't she entrust the task of digging up scandals to paparazzi?

Giving the key and Yoko Okino's schedule to them would definitely result in a better outcome than if she did it herself.

Even if something happened, the fire wouldn't burn her.

Now, instead of digging up a scandal, she was arrested by the police on charges of illegal intrusion, and her career was ruined.

If she still had some fame and could help the management company make a profit, the company wouldn't mind helping her, after all, she was a hen that could lay golden eggs.

But judging from her being robbed of a script… she obviously didn't have much fame, and was probably finished.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

Police officers were methodically collecting evidence at the crime scene. Lin Yi looked at the cold body lying on the ground, and he couldn't help but wonder: How did the deceased know Yoko Okino's address?

Logically speaking, a big star's address isn't something that just anyone can find.

However, considering the deceased's level of resentment towards Yoko Okino, it's likely that he had been stalking her for some time, which is how he knew her address.

This kind of fanatical (perverted) behavior wasn't without precedent.

Inspector Megure didn't expect that Kogoro Mouri had already solved the case so soon after he arrived, which surprised him: "Mouri, you've become quite capable since I last saw you."

"Hahaha… not at all."

Kogoro Mouri couldn't hide the smug look on his face.

"Alright… take the body away."

Inspector Megure waved his hand at the police officers.

Two police officers took a stretcher over.

Since the murder had been solved, they no longer cared about disturbing the body.

First, they pulled out the murder weapon from the body and handed it over to the forensic personnel, then they turned the body over, put it into a body bag, and then worked together to lift it onto the stretcher and leave.

However, just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Lin Yi.

"Wait a minute… can I take a look at the body?"

Lin Yi's sudden action surprised both Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure.

Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but go over and ask: "Lin, what's wrong?"

"I just think… he looks like a friend of mine."

Lin Yi said uncertainly: "But we haven't seen each other for a long time…"

Hearing this, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he had made a mistake in his reasoning.

He looked at Inspector Megure, and Inspector Megure nodded, indicating that it was okay.

"Go ahead."

Kogoro Mouri then said.

Lin Yi opened the body bag, took a look at the deceased, and then looked at the clean area on his chest, and said: "He looks a bit like him… but he has a mole below his neck, he doesn't… I mistook him for someone else."

After saying that, Lin Yi pulled the body bag back up, watching the police officers carry the body away.

"Yosh! The murder is solved."

Inspector Megure patted Kogoro Mouri on the back and laughed: "Thanks to you, Mouri, we're done in less than thirty minutes!"

"You're welcome, Inspector Megure."

Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily.

"It's getting late tonight… come to the station to give a statement tomorrow when you have time, I have to go back for dinner."

After Inspector Megure said goodbye, he left, the handling of the scene didn't need him to be personally responsible.

Yuko Ikezawa was arrested by the police on charges of "illegal intrusion."

Yoko Okino and Eiji Yamagishi didn't stay too long either. They had to go to the police to give a statement. After saying goodbye to Kogoro Mouri, they left. As for the subsequent fees, they would find another time to pay them.

After Lin Yi and the others left the apartment, Kogoro Mouri immediately laughed three times.

However, he soon noticed that Lin Yi's expression was a bit off, and he couldn't help but ask this meritorious person: "Lin, why aren't you happy?"

Without anyone else around, Lin Yi expressed his thoughts: "Uncle Mouri… the deceased's chest was very clean, there wasn't a single bloodstain… this differs from my reasoning."

"Oh? What difference?"

Kogoro Mouri raised his eyebrows.

"If the deceased fell backwards, stabbed himself with the dagger… then there would definitely be bloodstains on the ground, right?"

Lin Yi said: "Then, when he turned himself over, disguising his suicide as a murder… his chest should have been stained with blood, right?"

Kogoro Mouri was stunned, then he pondered for a while and said seriously: "You only considered the situation of him turning over in place, right?"

"You know, it's very difficult to turn over in place when injured in the back… he struggled to turn himself over with his shoulders at the time, so his chest didn't get any blood on it."

"Oh…"

Lin Yi suddenly understood, and he immediately flattered him: "Uncle Mouri, it's no wonder you were a detective, you're really amazing."

"Ah hahaha… not at all."
