Conan: The Heart Thief

Prosecutor Kusaka insisted.

"But... there is insufficient evidence..."

"Superintendent Hakuba, please rest assured that even if there is insufficient evidence, I will prove Kudo Yusaku's guilt!"

"Forget it. Regardless of whether Kudo Yusaku is the real murderer or not, we should at least give the people an explanation. We will broadcast it live nationwide tomorrow to formally prosecute Kudo Yusaku!"

"Yes, Superintendent Hakuba."

Due to the pressure from their superiors, Bai Ma and Kusaka both hope to close the case as soon as possible. As long as someone is responsible, there is no need to be too serious about who the real murderer is.

Tomorrow is the day to formally sue Kudo Yusaku. Kusakabe Makoto specially contacted Lin Xiao via mobile phone and invited him to come over to ask for his opinion. The reason why he specially asked Lin Xiao for advice was because His Majesty the Emperor said that this case must be handled with the participation of Lin Xiao.

"Advisor Lin, thank you so much for making a special trip to the Procuratorate!" Kusakabe Makoto greeted him flatteringly in the reception room.

"I'm Prosecutor Kusakabe Makoto. What can I do for you?" Lin Xiao said with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, Consultant Lin, I came to see you about the explosion case, of course." said Kusakabe Makoto.

"I heard that the procuratorate is taking steps to formally prosecute Kudo Yusaku. Do they still need my opinion?" Lin Xiao said sarcastically.

"Yes, the evidence has just been submitted, and you will also know that the procuratorate has filed a lawsuit against Mr. Kudo Yusaku!" Kusakabe said with some regret.

"What about the court date?"

"it is tomorrow."

"Okay, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"

"Tomorrow's prosecution, I hope Consultant Lin can go there in person and let you be the key witness. I believe that with the endorsement of you, a famous detective in Tokyo, the Japanese people will believe that Kudo Yusaku is the real murderer."

Lin Xiao understood what was going on. Kusakabe Makoto believed that Kudo Yusaku was the murderer, but he did not have enough evidence. However, he wanted Kudo Yusaku to take the blame, but he did not want to take the responsibility. So he wanted him to do the dirty work.

"That won't do. It's clear that there's insufficient evidence. It will ruin my reputation."

"No, I just need you to come out and say a few words so that I can report to His Majesty the Emperor."

"If that's the case, I understand." Lin Xiao sighed softly. Everyone hopes that Kudo Yusaku will die. Even if he wants to help Kudo Yusaku, he is powerless to do anything.

"Thank you very much, Consultant Lin."

"Wait, Minister Kusaka. I have to attend a meeting at the Metropolitan Police Department later. You should come with me."

"Eh?"

"There is new evidence. As the prosecutor in charge of this case, you should be involved."

Kusakabe Makoto had no choice but to follow Lin Xiao to attend the Metropolitan Police Department's memorial service.

The meeting was chaired by Superintendent Baiba himself and he attached great importance to it!

Japanese Public Security Police Officer Kazami spoke eloquently at the meeting.

"According to the investigation results of our Ministry of Public Security, it has been confirmed that the illegal access to the explosion site used 'Nor', a browser software that encrypts the IP address and accesses it through several computers so that its source cannot be traced back."

"Can Nor's anonymity be lifted?" asked Director Bai Ma.

"In principle, it cannot be unlocked. However, if there is a configuration error or system vulnerability in the Nor browser, the user may be locked. Conversely, if a weakness is created in the Nor browser of our criminals, tracking may be possible. Our Public Security Ministry is currently exploring this issue," said Kazami of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

"As long as the Ministry of Public Security locks down the access source based on Nor, we will immediately prosecute Kudo Yusaku!" said Superintendent Hakuba.

"Sorry for being rude, something terrible just happened in the city. All the cell phones on the bus suddenly discharged electricity, all the air conditioners suddenly caught fire, and even the washing machine had something incredible happen. In short, all electricity-related items had problems!" Inspector Megure reported his work.

The news was playing quickly at this time: "In Tokyo, which was heavily guarded for the Tokyo Summit held today, an incredible thing happened. The Metropolitan Police Department has not yet made an official public statement on the above situation! Not only in Japan, but many countries participating in the summit have expressed their concerns and criticisms to the Japanese government. Other intelligence shows that computers and electric kettles will suddenly catch fire..."

Superintendent Baima looked at Lin Xiao and asked, "Advisor Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Xiao said: "Yes, this must be a lot of terrorist attacks. The criminals indiscriminately caused all the electrical appliances that can be connected to the Internet to go out of control, so all this should be able to be stopped as long as the network connection can be cut off!"

"In addition, the pressure cooker found at the scene should also be a lot of household appliances. The criminal manipulated the gas valve through the Internet to fill the scene with gas, and then set the time through the mobile phone, using the pressure cooker as the starting point to carry out the explosion at the summit venue!"

Lin Xiao's words made all the police officers present in the Metropolitan Police Department open their eyes wide, and they looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.

"Could it be that Yusaku Kudo is not the real murderer?" Kusakabe Makoto finally raised this question.

"At least, Kudo Yusaku is not the mastermind." Lin Xiao said coldly.

"How could this happen! Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment." Officer Kazami suddenly left the meeting room in a panic.

……

Officer Kazami left the Metropolitan Police Department office on the pretext of handling an emergency. He was now standing in the rain, with an emergency report from his cell phone ringing in his ears: "In response to the recent frequent social unrest, the Metropolitan Police Department has issued a statement, highly suspecting that this series of events was the work of the LOT terrorist organization!"

"According to the analysis report of the Cyber ​​Crime Countermeasures Division, the methods used in this LOT terrorist attack are strikingly similar to those in previous cases, both using a technology called NOR to conduct illegal network intrusions," Inspector Megure added in the report.

"So, what's the progress of the operation to track the server?" the question was raised.

"The Cyber ​​Crime Countermeasures Division has confirmed that the ultimate control of the system lies in the hands of NAZU." There was a hint of solemnity in the response.

Superintendent Baima's face turned pale and he angrily shouted, "How could the situation develop to this extent? Who is the mastermind?"

Lin Xiao said firmly: "The mastermind is Prosecutor Kusakabe Makoto!"

As soon as these words came out, the conference room was in an uproar. Kusakabe Makoto's face turned pale instantly. He realized that Lin Xiao had already seen through everything and invited him to the meeting just to reveal the truth.

However, how could Kusakabe Makoto easily plead guilty? "Advisor Lin, are you kidding me?" He tried to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

Superintendent Baima also expressed doubts: "Advisor Lin, what is the solid evidence for your judgment?"

Lin Xiao walked to the computer and clicked the mouse. The personal information and past interrogation records of Yuba Jisanyi were immediately displayed on the big screen. Detective Shiratori took a closer look and said in surprise: "Isn't this the prosecutor Iwai who was injured by the explosion of his cell phone?"

"Last year, he was still a prosecutor." White Horse Police Superintendent was puzzled.

"Yes, she was still a prosecutor last year, but this year she was promoted to chief prosecutor and became the boss of Prosecutor Kusakabe." Lin Xiao explained.

"However, Ersanyi was devastated by not being admitted as a judge. He impulsively questioned the reason at the graduation ceremony and was eventually disqualified. His career as a lawyer was also ruined. In desperation, he chose to commit suicide." Lin Xiao's words revealed his regret for Ersanyi's fate.

Kusakabe Makoto couldn't believe it: "How...how do you know so much?"

Lin Xiao would of course not reveal his familiarity with the plot, but continued: "Kusakabe Makoto, you planned this series of bombings because you hated Japanese civil servants in an attempt to avenge 231."

Superintendent Hakuba interrupted, "Wait a minute, Advisor Lin, if that's the case, then isn't Kudo Yusaku innocently implicated?"

Lin Xiao shook his head: "That's not the case. At least, Kudo Yusaku has completely disrupted the case."

Makoto Kusakabe smiled bitterly and admitted everything: "Yes, you guessed it all. But all this has nothing to do with Yusaku Kudo."

He turned to the Hakuba Police Inspector and said, "I am willing to take the blame alone. I am the real murderer, and I framed Kudo Yusaku just to let him take the blame for me."

However, Superintendent Hakuba said firmly: "No, Yusaku Kudo is the mastermind."

Kusakabe Makoto was anxious: "Superintendent Hakuba, I have confessed my guilt, don't you still believe me?"

Superintendent Hakuba shook his head and said, "Kusakabe Makoto, as the director of the Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office, you have become a terrorist. How will the image of our Japanese civil servants be viewed at home and abroad? Regardless of whether Kudo Yusaku is the mastermind, he must be held accountable for this."

Chapter 497 Yukiko successfully divorces and sets off firecrackers in the yard

The G20 summit venue bombing case was finally resolved satisfactorily. Yusaku Kudo, the publicly recognized mastermind, was sentenced to life imprisonment. The actual mastermind, Makoto Kusakabe, was secretly executed by the Japanese Public Security Bureau because of his special status as a Tokyo prosecutor and was not suitable for being made public, in order to prevent the scandal from being leaked and damaging Japan's international image.

After the case was settled, Lin Xiao finally relaxed and happily invited the three policewomen to the hotel to enjoy a relaxing time. The four of them lay comfortably on the luxurious sofa in the presidential suite, tasting fresh fruits and drinking precious 82 Lafite, while the TV screen played the news about Kudo Yusaku being accused of being the mastermind of the aquarium bombing.

At the same time, the mobile phone screen was flooded with reports about Kudo Yusaku:

"Shocked! Well-known detective novelist turned out to be the real murderer of the bombing!"

"Because of dissatisfaction with society, he blew up a politician in anger. Is this a distortion of human nature or a crazy catharsis? Let us deeply analyze the inner world of Kudo Yusaku."

"Putting the methods of committing crimes in detective novels into practice, a complete analysis of the methods of committing crimes by the novelist criminal, Kudo Yusaku."

In Conan's world, detective is the most respected profession. Kudo Yusaku, the once famous detective novelist, is almost a household name for his novels that are all the rage.

Miwako was confused about the fact that Kudo Yusaku was the mastermind. She picked a grape, fed it to Lin Xiao, and asked, "Does Kudo Yusaku have any deep hatred against you? Why did he frame you?"

Lin Xiao swallowed the grapes in one gulp, the sweet juice overflowing in his mouth. "Maybe it's just pure jealousy. Sometimes, jealousy can make people lose their minds."

Miaozi smiled and said, "Lin Xiao, congratulations! Not only did you escape from Kudo Yusaku's trap, but you also won the Emperor's appreciation!"

Yui also echoed: "Lin Xiao, you are amazing! I like you more and more!"

Lin Xiao hugged the three policewomen tightly and said with a smile: "You are all my wings!"

In this spacious and comfortable room, a beautiful melody sounded quietly...

……

After everything was settled, Lin Xiao came to Kudo's house and found Yukiko setting off firecrackers in the yard, while Akemi and Ai were watching.

"Lin Xiao, you're here just in time. Come and set off firecrackers with me."

I don't know where Yukiko got the firecrackers from, but she hung them in the yard and prepared to set them off, not afraid that people around would sue her for disturbing the public.

"Yukiko, what are you so happy about!"

"Yusaku was sentenced to life imprisonment, and I immediately filed for divorce in court, which was immediately approved without even requiring Yusaku's signature."

"congratulations."

"Hehehe... Yusaku and I are divorced. I will be your woman for the rest of my life. You won't dislike me, will you?"

"We can be considered an old married couple. How could I possibly dislike you?"

Lin Xiao walked closer to Yukiko and kissed her rosy little lips.

Upon hearing this, Akemi and Ai, who were standing by, felt quite sympathetic towards Kudo Yusaku. He was hated by everyone, even his own wife.

"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."

As the firecrackers rang, Yukiko felt that a new chapter had come into her life. She and Yusaku Kudo had completely moved on. By the way, all of Yusaku Kudo's property and copyright income were now hers. It was a perfect harvest of love and wealth!

After setting off firecrackers and having dinner, Yukiko invited Lin Xiao to officially move into the Kudo family.

"Yukiko, do you want me to live in the Kudo family too?"

"It's not the Kudo family, it's the Fujimine family. I have changed back to my original last name. This house is mine, not Kudo Yusaku's."

"In that case, I'll move in too. Oh, and with Vermouth, our house will be lively in the future."

"Yes."

Yukiko was in a particularly happy mood and was quite satisfied with the result.

At night, Yukiko and Lin Xiao were in the master bedroom of Fujimine's house, treating each other sincerely.

"Ah... this is heaven..."

It was raining in Wushan, and Yukiko expressed her heartfelt emotion.
