Conan: The Heart Thief

Through the doubts that Lin Xiao mentioned in the woods before, and the staplers, Qianying also speculated that the murderer might really be someone in the villa, and those doubts were the murderer's way of pretending that someone else had committed the crime! Who is that?

"Could the murderer really be Miss Tanaka?" Qianying turned her eyes to Tanaka Takahisa. In addition to Tanaka Takahisa, there are three other suspects: Ara Yoshinori, Kuroda Naoko, and Mr. Su Lian. However, Qianying still decided to believe Lin Xiao. If it was really an insider who committed the crime, then the murderer must be Tanaka Takahisa.

Tanaka Takahisa suddenly shuddered: "Ms. Qianying, I always feel that you are staring at me. Do you suspect that I am the murderer?"

Qianying asked back, "Ms. Tanaka, aren't you?"

Chapter 285 The Legend of the Wolf

"Of course it's not me!" Tanaka Takahisa immediately denied it in a firm tone.

“I listened too…” Qianying looked at Lin Xiao unconfidently. Lin Xiao returned Qianying’s look and Qianying understood immediately.

Idiot, if you ask the murderer if he is the murderer, of course the murderer will deny it, you idiot, big idiot!

Tanaka Takahisa glared at Lin Xiao sternly: "Detective Lin, do you also think I am the murderer?"

Lin Xiao ignored Tanaka Takahisa, sighed softly, and said to everyone: "Everyone, follow me, I will explain the truth to everyone."

Everyone looked at each other, but followed Lin Xiao to the outside of the villa. Only Xiaolan and Yuanzi were not there, as Lin Xiao had assigned them important tasks.

A group of people came to the snow and looked at Lin Xiao intently.

"Then let me first explain how the body was moved in the middle of the snow without leaving any footprints!

To achieve this condition, you only need a crossbow, arrows, and a rope!

First, take two bows and arrows, make a small ring at the end of each bow and arrow, then pass the rope of pre-measured length through the two small rings, and tie two more ropes in the middle of this long rope! Finally, just tie the two ends of the rope that have passed through the small rings of the bows and arrows to the handrail of the balcony and everything is done!"

Having said that, Lin Xiao took a few steps towards the villa and shouted: "Yuanzi, Xiaolan, are you ready?"

The moment the shout came out, Yuanzi on the balcony of the villa waved and shouted happily: "Lin Xiao, we are ready!"

Lin Xiao answered everyone at the right time: "I know you won't understand even if I explain it to you, so I will demonstrate it to you with facts! Follow the method I just said! You can watch it carefully next!"

After saying that, Lin Xiao shouted again: "Okay! Now, Xiaolan, you take the crossbow and shoot the arrow at the big tree over there! Be careful not to mess up the rope, okay?"

"Know it."

Xiaolan responded, then raised the crossbow and focused on the big tree that Lin Xiao requested.

When Ara Yize and the others saw this scene, even though they were still some distance away from the tree, they subconsciously took a few steps back.

After all, how could people not be scared when a little girl was holding a lethal weapon and heading towards them?

Lin Xiao stood at the front calmly, not worried at all about missing the target.

Immediately afterwards...

With a "whoosh!", the arrow broke through the air and with a "bang!" it pierced directly into the tree trunk that Lin Xiao had designated!

"Xiao Lan, I hit it, that's amazing!"

When Sonoko saw that Xiaolan hit the target with one shot, she started dancing with excitement.

Xiaolan also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Xiaolan, shoot the other arrow into the tree trunk opposite the one you just shot!"

Lin Xiao ordered loudly again.

"it is good!"

Xiaolan responded immediately.

Start aiming. With the experience of the first time, Xiaolan was obviously much more relaxed the second time.

Soon, the second arrow accurately penetrated the tree trunk.

Xiaolan smiled with relief, and Yuanzi immediately hugged Xiaolan excitedly, shouting: "Lin Xiao, we succeeded!"

"You did a great job!" Lin Xiao praised loudly.

One man and two women were showing off their affection, which made Qianying feel uncomfortable. As for the others, they only paid attention to the case and did not show much expression.

Lin Xiao couldn't care less about Qianying's jealousy. Instead, he turned around and said to everyone: "Look at the shape of the rope now. Does it look like a sailboat with two sails spread out?"

"This... does this mean..."

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked and puzzled, with a look of bewilderment on their faces.

Lin Xiao seemed to sigh slightly because of the low IQ of everyone and said: "You haven't figured it out yet, okay! Then let me demonstrate it to you thoroughly!"

After saying that, Lin Xiao shouted to Yuanzi and Xiaolan again: "Xiaolan Yuanzi, now roll up the quilt I put on the balcony! There are two small rings on the tied quilt! Use the two ropes tied in the middle of the long rope to pass through the two small rings, and then slide the quilt down from the balcony!"

"Yes!"

Xiaolan and Sonoko took the order and took action immediately.

At this time, Lin Xiao said: "I used a quilt to replace Hamano Toshiya, everyone should understand!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Yize and the others all looked embarrassed. They understood this without having to be told! However, they did not refute it, obviously knowing that they were despised by Lin Xiao.

Tanaka Takahisa was no longer calm this time, and her face turned pale, because she already knew that Lin Xiao had seen through her tricks. She could only pray that Lin Xiao had not found any evidence.

Qianying tilted his head and looked at Lin Xiao, who looked confident at the moment. Does he have evidence to prove that the person who committed this crime is... Miss Tanaka?

"boom!"

With a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the quilt slid smoothly to a position next to the corpse.

At this moment, Huang Yize and others who saw this scene finally understood that what Lin Xiao said was actually true! The method of moving the corpse without leaving footprints really relied on ropes and crossbows!

"Oh my god! That's amazing!"

"So that's it!"

“It’s amazing!”

The exclamations are endless.

Mr. Xu Lian suddenly asked, "What should we do with this device next? If we pull it back directly, it will definitely drag on the ground, and that will leave traces!"

"That's right! So we can't take it back! Instead, we have to..."

Lin Xiao paused and said with a confident smile, "It's about shooting it out!"

"Shoot it out?"

Araki Yoshinori and others raised doubts.

Lin Xiao said loudly to Xiaolan and the other two girls: "Xiaolan, now tie the rope connecting the quilt and the small ring to the arrow, and then shoot it far away into the sky!"

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Xiaolan did as he was told.

The next moment.

There was a "whoosh" sound.

A scene that surprised everyone appeared! As the arrow was shot high, the rope tied to the arrow was naturally taken away.

As for the others, they only passed through the quilt or the small ring at the tail of the arrow, so they were immediately separated by the force of the arrow! Almost instantly, the entire device flew away from mid-air! And all that was left was the quilt in the middle of the snow without any footprints or other traces, and the arrow shot at the tree trunk.

Someone immediately asked a question!

"What about the arrow? Isn't it still stuck on the tree trunk? We didn't see the arrow before!"

"Yes! That's why Miss Tanaka burned the suspension bridge. This way, the police couldn't rush here to seal off the scene, which made it easier for Miss Tanaka to take the arrow away!"

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he curled his lips and looked at Tanaka Takahisa and said with a smile: "I'm right, right, Miss Tanaka!"

"you--"

Tanaka Takahisa was shocked and angry. How could Lin Xiao know everything so clearly?

Others exclaimed in amazement. They didn't expect that the murderer was the gentle-looking Tanaka Takahisa. The murderer was too good at pretending. No, it should be said that the woman was too good at pretending.

Qianying covered her mouth in shock, pointed at Tanaka Takahisa, and said incredulously: "Ms. Tanaka, you are actually the murderer, this is unbelievable!"

Tanaka Takahisa's body trembled slightly, and she yelled at Lin Xiao: "Don't talk nonsense, I was shot by an arrow at that time! How can I shoot an arrow at myself from the outside? You saw it at that time, right! And Miss Qianying saw it too, right!"

Qianying looked at Lin Xiao blankly. She couldn’t figure it out and her brain was not enough.

"That's just a trick you made up. It doesn't explain the problem." Lin Xiao directly exposed Tanaka Takahisa.

"That is to say... you just want to use Lin Xiao and me to testify for you." Qianying understood instantly.

Tanaka Takahisa was still stubborn: "Even so, I have an alibi. At the time, my job was to boil water for the bath, so I had no time to commit the crime!"

Lin Xiao immediately retorted: "You just need to boil the water in advance!"

“How can I cook it in advance?”

Tanaka Takahisa asked subconsciously, "It was a coincidence that I got the task of boiling water. What if I was assigned a different task? If I was assigned a partner by accident, I wouldn't be able to do it. Right? Mr. Ara Yoshinori, who personally assigned the task at that time."

Araki was called and said, "Yes."

"That's not a coincidence, it's magic!" Lin Xiao sneered, "We are all magicians, you know what I'm saying."

The other magicians reacted immediately.

It's better to say it's a magic show than a coincidence. As we all know, magic requires assistants to assist! And Mr. Hamano's assistant is Ms. Tanaka!

At this point, Tanaka Takahisa, who had nothing to say, finally lost his temper and yelled with an ugly face: "You said so much, do you have any evidence to prove that I did all that!"

Lin Xiao looked at Tanaka Takahisa and shouted coldly: "Of course there is evidence. In fact, the evidence is in your boots, isn't it? The tail of the arrow that was pulled out of the tree trunk has a small ring! You don't have time to deal with it!"

"Are you still not admitting your guilt, Tanaka Takahisa?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, scaring Tanaka Takahisa so much that he trembled, then he covered his face with a pale face and squatted down.

This was equivalent to a tacit agreement. How could everyone not understand that everything was confirmed by Lin Xiao? Tanaka Takahisa was actually the murderer! For a moment, there were bursts of gasps in the quiet forest.

A long time passed.

Huang Yi couldn't help but say: "That Shadow Mage..."

"It's a fake identity I forged..."

Tanaka Takahisa stood up, took out the arrow of evidence from her boots, and said with a wry smile: "The reason I did this is because I am the granddaughter of the Chunjing magician who was killed by you!"

"what!"

Next, Tanaka Takahisa began to explain the reasons for his crime...but Lin Xiao didn't care about it.

The only person Lin Xiao cares about now is Qianying. He wants to deal with Qianying in one go, otherwise, he doesn’t know when they will meet again.

Qianying, who was concentrating on listening to what Tanaka Takahisa said, didn't notice Lin Xiao's eyes at all. Qianying was being targeted by a vicious wolf and there was absolutely no way she could escape.
