After the simulation, the female characters in Detective Conan break down.

Miwako Sato walked up to Hoshinoki:

"What did you see?"

Hoshino glanced at Sato Miwako and said:

"She was strangled to death..."

Miwako Sato approached the corpse.

She saw obvious animal bite marks on the corpse.

"Then how do you explain these wounds?"

"This looks more like it was killed by some wild animal, doesn't it?"

Hoshino closed his eyes.

Entering the psychological transference of the case...

We are still in this room.

The murderer is Hoshino Ki.

Hoshino walked up behind the girl, grabbed her by the neck, and pressed her onto the bed.

The bed made a sound.

Then came the sound of the girl struggling frantically.

Hoshinoki's arms were thick and strong.

But the girl's arms were fair and slender.

She tried her best to pry Hoshinoki's arm off, but she couldn't break free.

After a while...

Her arm fell limply to the ground.

The girl was no longer responding.

Hoshino then released his hands and packed her up to take her away.

He arrived at an abandoned factory.

The girl's body was placed on the table.

He cut open the girl's skin with a knife.

They removed the parts from her body.

There's something wrong with her parts.

……

Transference ends.

Hoshino opened her eyes.

He stared at the girl's corpse with his dark eyes:

"She has a problem with her lungs!"

"How did you know?"

Sato Miwako looked surprised.

It's not that she doesn't trust Hoshino Ki.

Rather, she had seen this method of solving crimes in her dream...

The person who solved the case using this method was Hoshino Ki.

"Guess!"

Miwako Sato's eyes widened in surprise!

Hoshinoki turned and left...

I brushed past Miwako Sato.

The scene from her dream resurfaced in her mind.

Why are you always able to handle cases so quickly and accurately?

"To be honest, do you have any shady investigative techniques?"

"Tell me quickly!"

Miwako Sato put her arm around Hoshino's shoulder.

"secret!"

Hoshino responded to her with a cold expression.

Memories are over!

After realizing what was happening, Miwako Sato immediately turned around and chased after him...

However, Hoshinogi has disappeared without a trace.

We have already made some progress in identifying the culprit, Hoshinoki.

Waiting for the police to find out the truth and catch the murderer will take forever.

Moreover, he did not want to explain or interact with the police too much.

Like Conan, you can use your words to make the murderer cry and repent.

That's too much trouble...

Hoshino was too lazy to argue.

Just do it!

The killer was clearly a serial killer, and also mentally ill.

He killed the victim and then sent him home.

They tampered with the original wound.

This is what led to the carcass being eaten by animals.

This also leaves the police and the victim's family with the wrong impression that the victim was killed by a wild animal.

As for why the murderer went to such lengths to return the body...

This is clearly him expressing his apology.

The murderer felt he had let the victim down.

He was very saddened by this.

The reason the murderer was sad was that he was unable to express his love to the victim.

Love?

What kind of love is it?

The deceased was not violated in any way.

Therefore, his love was definitely not love in the ordinary sense.

The girl had a lung problem, which clearly displeased him.

It seems the killer only likes to target physically healthy victims.

Hoshino pursued the investigation all the way to the factory.

Registered through the factory's employee roster.

He discovered that everyone had registered all their personal information completely.

Only one worker did not fill in their contact information.

This information was obtained from other workers' accounts.

The worker does indeed have a daughter.

Hoshino learned this after showing the factory workers a photo of the last victim.

The worker's daughter has the same appearance and figure as the eight victims.

At this time...

Hoshinoki's phone rang.

He took out his phone from his pocket and swiped it lightly with his finger.

An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

Hoshino answered the phone with a tap of his finger.

As soon as I answered the phone, I heard an anxious female voice.

The voice sounded familiar:

“Hoshino-kun, you’re right. Further examination by the forensic doctor confirmed that the victim was indeed strangled to death.”
