An infinite journey starting from paradise

At this time, the forensic police officer came down from the second floor: "Officer Megure, we found several personal accident insurance policies at the bottom of the deceased's wardrobe, with a coverage of up to 100 million yen!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, four big words emerged in the minds of everyone present: "Killing wife to get insurance money."

Except for two people, Hehuan and Conan.

"Something's wrong...it's not that simple. There's something inconsistent at the scene."

Thinking this over, He Huan walked back to the crime scene on the second floor. The forensic officers on the scene didn't try to stop him. After all, she was Inspector Lin's sister, and one of the police department's major sponsors. There was no need to stop her. What if Inspector Lin's sister possessed Inspector Lin's incredible deduction skills? Wouldn't these crime scene experts be able to just sit back and let things slide?

Hehuan walked all the way to the open window and looked at the intermittent bloodstains that extended from the deceased's body to the window.

"No... If the murderer was sprayed with the victim's blood, the bloodstains should be dripping, not dragging like now. And..."

Hehuan gently pulled the window horizontally, and the opening became a little bigger.

"Twenty centimeters isn't the maximum opening for a window. If the murderer was trying to escape from here, why would they only open the window twenty centimeters instead of the maximum? What's this?"

Hehuan picked up a few brown hairs stuck on the window frame.

"Um…?"

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground and the hair on the window frame, Hehuan hurriedly walked out of the crime scene.

"Meow~ Meow~"

As soon as he walked out of the crime scene, Hehuan found what he was looking for - a kitten named Takemaru.

Takemaru was indeed a well-behaved kitten. Even when faced with strangers like Hehuan and the forensic officers, he showed no signs of stress. He simply sat there quietly. Even when Hehuan reached out and stroked his back and belly, he made no move to run away, only purring comfortably.

"It's still wet and hasn't dried yet."

"Ms. Hehuan, what's wrong? What did you find?" asked Officer Chiba, who was collecting evidence on the second floor.

"Did the police search Yiyuan's front yard?" Hehuan asked.

"Front yard? That...not yet. Because the window of the crime scene faces the backyard, the murderer should have escaped from the back door of the backyard, so we prioritize searching the backyard." Chiba replied.

"okay, got it."

As he spoke, He Huan returned to the first floor, walked out of the house, and came to the pool in the deceased's front yard. He saw Conan lying on the pool, as if looking for something.

"Has he noticed it? He's a real detective."

Conan turned his attention to the toilet paper floating on the pool: "As expected. So this is the truth... Next, I need to find a suitable person to act as a mouthpiece."

Thinking about it, Conan climbed down the pool and turned around to meet Hehuan's eyes.

"What is she looking at? Is she looking at me?"

At this time, He Huan turned around and walked back to Yi Yuan's room and announced to everyone in the living room: "Everyone, I already know the murderer's modus operandi and the murderer's identity."

"what?!"

Is it time for the "detective" to lead the charge so soon? No, this person is a family member of Inspector Lin. Rounding up, they are considered police officers, so the credit for solving the case should go to the police.

He Huan continued, "This vicious case, which appears to be a burglary and murder case, is actually a suicide!"

"What?!" everyone was shocked.

That's right, Inspector Lin's unique way of closing the case by turning homicide into suicide.

"Wait, Miss Hehuan, we didn't find any murder weapon at the scene. How could this be suicide?" Takagi Shigeru was the first to raise the question.

"It's very simple, just use Takemaru."

"Takemaru is...?"

"Takemaru is my cat," Izono Wakana said, "but...what does Takemaru have to do with my sister's death?"

"Ms. Wakana, according to what you said, the last time you saw your sister, she specifically carried Takemaru to the second floor, right?"

"That's right."

"Your sister took Takemaru away so he could take the murder weapon away from the scene."

"Takemaru?"

He Huan nodded slightly and continued, "My guess is that the specific method is as follows: First, tie the blade to a thin, strong string, or use tape or super glue. The other end of the string is tied to Takemaru's collar. Once it is tied, place it on the window frame. Then, your sister will commit suicide by cutting her own throat."

Seeing the blood gushing out, Takemaru was so frightened that he fled out the window, carrying the blade tied to the string with him. The bloodstains on the tatami and window frame were left behind when the blade was dragged out. And your sister chose to commit suicide with the thin blade so that Takemaru could take it with him.

"Please wait a moment." Gao Mushi interrupted He Huan's reasoning, "I just saw the cat on the second floor. There was nothing like silk thread on its collar."

"It's very simple," He Huan explained. "She just needs to connect something between the silk thread and the collar - toilet paper. Roll the toilet paper into a thinner paper twist, tie the paper twist to the collar, and then tie the silk thread to the paper twist.

I understand that Takemaru, the amazing cat, loved to swim and, when frightened, would cool off in the pool in front of the Isono family's courtyard. So, where did Takemaru go after he fled the house in terror after witnessing Yoshieda's tragic suicide?

Naturally, it was the pond in front of the Izono family's courtyard. If Takemaru jumped into the pond, the paper thread would quickly dissolve and rot, and the silk thread would detach from the collar, and the blade would sink to the bottom of the pond.

The police were misled by the scene specially arranged by Shizhi, so they would naturally investigate the backyard carefully first, and would not waste time and effort to drain the pool in the front yard to search for the murder weapon.

In this way, this incident can easily be misjudged as a burglary and murder. And Shizhi’s goal will be achieved.”

"My sister's purpose is... the insurance money for personal accident insurance?" Wakana was stunned, and then tears burst out, unable to control herself.

"Why? Is it because of money? If we're a family, there's always a way to solve the problem, right? Why do we have to do this?"

"What a joke!" Fukuda Matsuo suddenly roared, "Stop your nonsense here, woman! How could Seida commit suicide?! She must have been murdered! You police, go investigate, go find her! Why do you say my wife committed suicide? She must have been murdered by a criminal!!!"

"As for the evidence..."

"Shut up!" Fukuda Matsuo roared and rushed towards Hehuan, but before he reached Hehuan, he was knocked down and subdued by several policemen nearby.

"As for the evidence, here it is."

Conan led Masamichi into the living room.

"My sister Chengshi and I fished this out of the pool." Conan held up the evidence bag in his hand, and inside was the blood-stained toilet paper.

Asami added, "Even though it's diluted with water, DNA can still be detected in the blood. If we remove the murder weapon from the pool and compare the DNA remaining on the weapon with the blood on the paper towel and the deceased's DNA, we can prove Mr. Odagiri's theory."

"Huh?" Odagiri Toshi, who was cured, was also stunned. "Me? Huh?"

"Didn't Mr. Odagiri ask Conan to take me to collect physical evidence?" Asano asked in confusion.

"No... huh? I didn't. Wasn't it Big Sister who deduced the truth of the case?

"Hmm... this is awkward," Conan thought. He'd originally wanted to stun the dazed-looking Odagiri Toshi and have him do the mouth job, but he'd never expected He Huan to have already deduced the truth before him. Sure enough, they were siblings; He Huan's deduction skills were on par with Hayashi Naoto's.

This is where Conan misunderstood. If it were Hayashi Naoto, he would have immediately recognized suicide upon seeing the wounds—after all, the angles of force applied to the wounds are different for suicide and murder, resulting in slightly different wound shapes. It's a shame that Masami Nagashi was just starting out and had seen so few types of corpses that he didn't realize this right away.

"Enough! Damn, this stupid woman!!!"

Fukuda Matsuo's hysterical roar saved Conan from the predicament.

"How dare she commit suicide?! How dare she commit suicide today?! And it was so clumsy, it was actually seen through. She should have just waited, waited for me to kill her!"

“Brother-in-law…?”

Wakana looked at the crazy man in front of her in astonishment. How could he become like this?

"Don't call me brother-in-law! Do you think I'll let you go?" Fukuda Matsuo stared at Wakana, "If it weren't for your crazy parents, if it weren't for you, this inhuman burden, how could we have come to this point?! Haha, hahahahahahaha, Yoshieda, that bitch actually set you and Kazuo as the beneficiaries of the insurance. I originally planned to kill you and your stupid brother after killing Yoshieda!

Now... hahahaha, now... hahahaha, now that woman is dead and the insurance money is gone, hahahaha, then I'm leaving. Forget about you useless siblings and that little bastard that woman gave birth to! Let me go! You police officers, I didn't do anything, why are you holding me down?!

Are you going to arrest me? For what reason? Attempted murder? I didn't do anything! Does that law say you can sentence someone for making up a story?

"You really didn't commit murder." He Huan said in a cold tone, "But... you assaulted a police officer."

He Huan looked at Takagi and Inukai, who were pinning down Fukuda Matsuo. They both looked at Inspector Megure. Inspector Megure 9 lowered his head to read his on-site notes. Hmm, these notes are quite detailed.

"Miss Hehuan is right. You assaulted a police officer." Inukai smiled kindly. As Lin Shangren's younger brother, the elites of the Third Department of Investigation Section 1 are indeed very adaptable. Look, Chiba has already taken the thick textbook he brought with him from the evidence bag.

then…

"You can't do this! You're forcing a confession! I need a lawyer! No! You can't f*cking do this!!!"

……

Half an hour later, the elite officers from the First Investigation Division withdrew, leaving only the Forensic Science Division officers to drain the pool and search for the blade. Fukuda Seiji's body was taken to the Forensic Hospital for an autopsy. Fukuda Matsuo was arrested and taken to the detention center for assaulting police officers, tampering with the scene, and obstructing justice. The police had intended to take Izono Wakana and Fukuda Taruo with them to assist in the investigation, but ultimately decided not to do so out of consideration for Gouhuan and Odagiri Toshiya.

All the Detective Boys who were wandering around the scene, except Conan, were taken home. The emotionally broken Izono Wakana was still crying, and Odagiri Toshi was standing by her wheelchair, comforting and accompanying her.

"Are we going back?" Tachibana Maya asked, "Let's leave the rest to that kid. Although it might seem a bit unfair, I have to say this is a good opportunity for him to take down that girl."

"It's still a little strange."

Hehuan walked to the pool, talking to himself.

"The Isono family is incredibly unlucky. Could it be that the renovations ruined the original feng shui?" He Huan shook her head at this thought. "First, Wakana's mother, the gentle old woman Isono Chang, suddenly went mad and hurt people. Then her father, Isono Minpei, the kind and good-natured man, suddenly became an alcoholic and a gambler... Then Wakana got in a car accident... Fukuda Matsuo cheated on his wife, and Seeda became addicted to drugs and then committed suicide... Drug addiction? Drugs? Speaking of which, Isono Chang suddenly went mad..."

"Ah? What is this? Why is the water pump blocked?" the police officer from the forensic department suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

Takagi Wataru and Asano Minoru, who stayed at the scene, walked over, and Hehuan also raised her head curiously.

A police officer from the forensic department picked out a dark red stone from the pump.

"Is it just a stone blocking the water pipe?" Hehuan thought.

Suddenly, the stone disappeared. He Huan was shocked, but Takagi Wataru, Asano Minoru, and many other police officers seemed not to notice.

"Where is the stone?" Hehuan asked.

"Stone? What stone?" Takagi Shigeru asked in confusion.

"Is that the stone you came to see?"

"We... come here... By the way, what are we coming here for?" Masami looked at Takagi in confusion.

"Um...well...well...eh, yeah, what were we here for?"

Just as the two were confused, the police officer on the other side shouted.

"We found it! We found the blade with the Western Front tied to it. There's still some human tissue on it!"

This drew the attention of several police officers, leaving He Huan confused and wondering, "Could it be that I saw it wrong?"

Chapter 270: The Beautiful Prosecutor's Second Invitation

The next day.

When Lin Shangren settled the affairs of Li Nan Island and returned to Tokyo, He Huan had basically completed the handling of the tragedy of the Yi Yuan family.

Yoshieda committed suicide, Matsuo was arrested, and their son, Taruo, became virtually orphaned, effectively destroying the Isono family. Fortunately, Isono Wakana still had the support of Odagiri Toshiya, and while the timing was inauspicious, their relationship quickly warmed. While she couldn't receive Yoshieda's insurance payout, she was able to continue living with the help of Odagiri Toshiya, a rising star and former top police officer. The two will appear in another case later, but we won't discuss them here.

As for the source of the drugs injected by Shizhi, since Lin Shangren had already "taken care of" all the legal underworld gangs in Tokyo, Hehuan did not have to use much manpower to find out the truth - Rakushenghui, a drug trafficking organization that has only developed in Tokyo in recent years and is rooted in Shinjuku District. According to Tachibana Maya, Rakushenghui is actually one of the subordinate organizations of the Renan Group. Like Yueying Island, it is responsible for some of the drug transactions of the Renan Group in Japan.

The drugs in Fukuda Seiji's hands were purchased from them.

After further investigation, He Huan found out more information that the Le Sheng Club actually had a close connection with the pharmaceutical company where Wakana's father, Izono Tampei, worked.

Comparing this information, He Huan reasonably suspected that Wakana's mother, Ah Chang's sudden madness, might also be related to Le Sheng Hui. After all, according to the person involved, Ah Chang's behavior during her madness was very similar to that of someone who had ingested angel dust—incredible strength, impervious to pain, extremely aggressive, and then suddenly died after the drug wore off.

Maybe Ah Chang accidentally inhaled angel dust somehow.

However, this still couldn't fully answer He Huan's inner doubts: Why were the Yi Yuan family so unlucky? Was it simply a chain reaction caused by drugs?

"Also, that stone that I saw yesterday that suddenly disappeared, could it really be my eyes playing tricks on me?"

Looking at the worried Hehuan, Lin Shangren comforted her, "How about I go to the Yiyuan family's mansion and take a look later?"

"Hmph~ Let's wait a while and sleep with me first." Hehuan snorted lightly and put his arm around Lin Shangren's arm.

"Ah? That's not good, it's broad daylight. Besides, Hehuan, it's probably not convenient for you today, right?"

"What are you thinking about?" He Huan pinched Lin Shangren's arm gently. "I just want you to hold me and sleep for a while. I stayed up all night yesterday to get to the bottom of this case."

"You guys go and have a good rest. You can leave the work to me." A slightly low and neutral voice sounded from behind Lin Shangren.

"You? Miss Cangmu?"

Hehuan raised her head and found that Aoki Fuyushi, wearing a dark blue windbreaker and a white high ponytail, suddenly appeared behind Lin Shangren.

"Because there are a lot of things to deal with here, I went back specially to bring Dongshi and the others here." Lin Shangren explained.

"they?"

Hehuan frowned and showed a complaining expression.

The world of two is gone~

However, thinking about Lin Shangren's behavior of "riding" on people everywhere and his own behavior of pushing beautiful women onto Lin Shangren's bed, He Huan felt relieved. It was impossible to lose his temper, but he could still use this as an excuse to act coquettishly towards Lin Shangren and ask for some benefits.

As for Aoki Fuyushi.
