Mi Home Chat Group: Let's start with a roundup and have some fun!

[Silver Wolf: Got it, he traded luck for popularity!]

Based on Dan Yu's words, Naxi Da deduced some clues.

"In other words, if the incident occurred last night, then are the four people present today our suspects?"

Xingqiu quickly denied it, trying to prove his innocence.

"Wait, I'm not a suspect, we're just ordinary friends."

Wan Ye recalled some events from yesterday and spoke them directly.

"But I remember you two had a really big argument yesterday!"

The scene begins with a flashback to yesterday, showing Bennett and Xingqiu arguing in the classroom.

Bennett looked at Xingqiu with righteous indignation, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Could you please stop writing your name on my homework every time you help me with my homework?!"

Xingqiu didn't tolerate Bennett's behavior and retorted sharply.

"Can't you be a little more careful when you hand in your homework?"

Bennett felt wronged when he heard Xingqiu say that, and his tone immediately softened.

"If I could understand it, would I need you to write it for me?"

After hearing Bennett's words, Xingqiu decided to go on strike and quit.

"Fine, from now on, none of you will ask me to help you with your homework!"

[Chongyun: Huh? No, can Xingqiu's handwriting really be used to do other people's homework? (=ω=；)]

[Xingqiu: What's wrong? Is it not working? What's wrong with my handwriting? (￢_￢)]

[Rin: This is so abstract! Could this be the reason for the victimization?]

[Zhu Yuan: Probably not, that reason is too flimsy.]

Klee interrupted their reminiscence and asked her own question.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing Detective Klee's question, Xingqiu confessed immediately.

"Okay, I admit it, I also did Xiangling's homework."

Klee was deep in thought when she inadvertently noticed a clue near Bennett's feet.

Chapter 45 Xiangling's cosplay confession to Bennett

Klee bent down and picked up the clue—a leaf—which made her change her suspicions.

"So, Wanye, you are the murderer! This leaf is different from the ones around it."

I remember this should be the leaf that Manyo usually blows!

[Conan: Klee, this doesn't really count as solving a case! It's more like the process of elimination! (=ω=；)]

Kaito: What a simple and quick method! ⊙﹏⊙∥

[Alice: Mind your own business! As long as it works, right, Klee? o( ??? )o]

[Klee: Mom's right, as long as it works! (●'?'●)]

Faced with Klee's suspicions, Mango gave a reasonable explanation.

"This leaf is indeed mine, but I spent the whole night in the bathroom. (︶︿︶)"

Xingqiu looked at Keli, indicating that he could vouch for Wanye on this point.

"It's true. Yesterday afternoon we tried Xiangling's newly developed 'dark cuisine,' and then, Klee, you know what happened. ╮( oωo )╭"

Wan Ye and Xing Qiu's teasing made Xiang Ling blush shyly.

"Can you guys please not say it out loud! (?o 3 o?)"

The woman at the back of the group hadn't spoken until now, but suddenly bent down and picked something up.

Keli happened to see this and spoke up to stop the woman's actions.

The woman calmly looked at the group, telling them not to make wild guesses.

Keli grabbed the woman's hand as she tried to pull it back; the woman was still holding the thing she had just picked up.

"What was that you just hid?"

Why was Klee able to grab the lady's hand? Because Narcida supported Klee with both hands, and the combined height of the two of them was just slightly taller than the lady.

[Star: This scene is hilarious! Hahaha...(,,?ω?,,)]

[Koleda: My height is a real problem! (?o?o)]

Theresa: This pose is so funny, so abstract! (￣y▽￣)~*covering her mouth and giggling]

"Did this accessory fall off your clothes?"

Hearing what Keli said, the woman did not panic and began to defend herself.

"I don't know why this thing is here either. I was just afraid you'd misunderstand me, and I had no reason to attack Bennett!"

Claire didn't buy the lady's reasoning and made her own guess.

"You seem to be Bennett's type, because he's always hanging around you, so you got angry and..."

[Star: Seriously, I like it too!]

[Sora: Who can resist the allure of an older sister!]

[March 7th: You two!]

[Ying: If she weren't an enemy, I would have already taken her into the pot!]

Bennett: I like women like that? How come I didn't know that?

Xingqiu thought Keli's reasoning was very likely and provided evidence.

"That's true! He's been hanging around girls a lot lately. No wonder he's a detective!"

After listening to the analysis, Nasita began to ponder what was wrong and discovered that it didn't make sense.

"That's not right. The lady's clothes are not missing this accessory. It's as if it just appeared out of nowhere."

As Keli watched Xiangling looking around, a sudden inspiration flashed through her mind.

"Xiangling, you're the murderer! Based on my experience of watching over 700 episodes of Detective Conan and 200 episodes of Kindaichi Case Files, the murderer is often the one who talks the least!"

When Xiangling heard Keli doubt her, she looked away embarrassedly, glancing at Keli every now and then. Seeing that no one was moved, Xiangling had no choice but to admit it.

"Okay, it was me. Because Bennett kept stealing my relics, I got angry and pushed him down."

Manyo clapped in celebration, finally solving this thorny case.

"No wonder he's a famous detective! He even managed to find out this!"

Nasida still felt something didn't add up and began to review the parts that weren't right.

"Wait, things don't seem that simple! Why did Xiangling admit it so quickly? And what's the deal with that ornament?"

Nasita suddenly realized what had happened and fired a tranquilizer dart to knock Klee unconscious.

[Kogoro Mouri: Now I finally understand why I keep fainting! It was you who did it! You wretched brat! (?°д°)]

Conan: Haha~, Uncle Mori, what are you talking about? I have no idea! (；≧д≦)

[Kogoro Mouri: Do you know what? I'm now immune to anesthetics! (?°д°)]

[Professor Agasa: Who knew you were so adaptable! I reckon we'd need the equivalent of three elephants' worth of concentration now, which would be incredibly expensive. (￣ω￣;)]

[Conan: So why do you even have to imitate this? (￣ω￣;)]

Klee: Because if we don't do that...

[Nasita: ...This is soulless crime-solving!]

After being stabbed, Klee kneels on the ground, and Narcida imitates Klee's voice to start solving the case again.

"You've all got it wrong, the real killer is someone else!"

When the time was right, Xingqiu uttered that classic line.

"So this is the legendary sleeping Klee!"

Xiangling shook her head, indicating that she was indeed the murderer and the case could be closed.

Nasida proposed an idea that no one had thought of.

"Xiangling, you like Bennett, don't you? Last night you disguised yourself as a woman, planning to meet Bennett."

The camera then replays the incident. Xiangling, dressed in women's clothing, is walking on her way to an appointment when a sudden gust of wind startles her. She calms herself down and continues on her way.

"Phew, I scared myself!"

Just then, a Bennett suddenly popped out of the bushes. He had intended to push Xiangling, but he came out too early and fell down himself.

Back to the present, Nasita continues to recount the events of the case in Klee's voice.

"...But he accidentally fell down, and you were afraid that your feelings would be discovered, so you hurriedly admitted that you pushed him."

[Catherine: All I can say is, he truly is an incredibly unlucky person!]

[Kaiya: That's so Bennett!]

Faced with everyone's gossipy gazes, Xiangling admitted that she liked Bennett.

"But why did he want to attack me?"

Naxi Da came to Xiangling's side and looked at her with an aunt-like smile.

"Maybe he likes you too! I heard from Wan Ye and Xing Qiu that the reason Bennett often bothers women is because you always challenge him."

He knows you're frustrated because you can't beat the lady, so he wants to weaken her before you start fighting.

Although it wasn't exactly honorable, it was perhaps the only method his intelligence could conceive of.

Xiangling was shocked after hearing what had happened, staring blankly at Bennett lying on the ground.
