Conan came to Songxue's room with doubts in his heart.

The first impression of Songxue's room is that it is clean and tidy.

Other people's rooms are more or less messy, with stuffed toys or books placed on the bed or the table, but Songxue's room is tidy and neat, without a single mess.

There was no other decoration in her room except a large bookshelf and a large wardrobe, and Conan could only focus his eyes on the large bookshelf.

Conan can often tell what book a person has read recently by looking at his bookshelf, but for Songxue's bookshelf, which is arranged like a bookstore, he can't tell anything.

He could only use a clumsy method and use tape to stick to the easily accessible places on the bookshelf to look for fingerprints. Finally, he determined which shelf of books she had been reading recently, and then he took them out one by one and looked through them.

Sure enough, he found a few pages in one of the light novels called "The Last Human", sandwiched in the middle.

Analysis, which contains her comprehensive analysis of her six teammates.

Song Xue seemed to be standing in God's perspective, calmly, ruthlessly, and objectively, analyzing all six people.

When Conan looked at the analysis, many things that he had been confused about suddenly became clear to him.

"I see……"

He took the analysis to Jing Dai's room, where he had found nothing before. On the sticky notes on the back of the table were all her plans to bring He Zhi to ruin. The completed steps were circled.

Conan let out a long breath and turned to Renyou's room.

Lianyou's room is decorated in a beautiful golden color scheme. Scattered on the table are a few notebooks and sheet music of a few songs that Hezhi had composed for the group. There is also a photo frame covering the table. When she opens it, she sees that it is a photo of her and Hezhi, showing them with bright smiles.

Conan flipped through the notebook, which was filled with lyrics made up by a child. They were very childish, but there were several notebooks full of lyrics of varying sizes, and several pages in the middle were completely blacked out.

Conan searched carefully and finally found a few words written so hard that they could be seen through the paper in a very inconspicuous place.

[It's obviously me playing]

Conan was silent for a moment and took a picture as evidence.

To be on the safe side, Conan went to check out the remaining two rooms.

First, Rika's room.

The Supervision Department had searched everywhere and found a box of private money that she had hidden under the bed. There were pieces of money in denominations of one thousand, five thousand, and ten thousand, as well as half a box of coins.

In addition to dance-related books and DVDs on the table, there was only a photo frame of her and Kazemi Hezhi standing quietly on the table. It was the cheapest wooden photo frame.

Conan took the photo out of the frame with a heavy expression and turned it over.

On the back were written a few hopeful words in clean and beautiful fonts: International Dance Competition, let He Zhi see it.

Conan gritted his teeth, gently put the photo back, and left the room.

Finally, Conan could breathe a sigh of relief in Kazami Hezhi's room. It was a room with warm colors. There were reference books and light novels placed a little messily on the table. On the desk shelf, where an adult could see it at normal eye level, there was a group photo of the seven people hugging each other with bright smiles on the night of their formation.

Seven people are looking at the camera

, his eyes sparkling, full of unclouded happiness and longing for the future.

It feels so good just looking at it.

Conan recalled the statement that Officer Shiratori made to Kazami Hezhi: he had a strong trust in the other six people and was optimistic about the relationship within the group.

He found Xiaolan and leaned over to whisper.

Xiaolan nodded and said to Officer Megure, "Officer Megure, I have fully understood the course of the case."

Inspector Megure's eyes widened, "Really, Maori sister?"

Xiaolan nodded, "But we have to go to the hospital first."

Chapter 92: The Fun People’s Showdown

Concert venue.

Backstage.

Lianyou stood up and looked out the window.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, but there were still crowds of people outside the venue. They stood outside, waiting stubbornly.

Miyano Haruna saw Huihara Ai yawn and patted her shoulder, "You go to sleep first."

"No."

Huihara Ai sat on a chair, communicating with fans in the group on her phone. Occasionally, she raised her head and stared at the backstage through the thick curtain. "Isn't that young detective also involved in this case? With his ability, I believe that the truth will be revealed soon."

Miyano Haruna was silent for a moment, "The truth is very important."

But can Conan, who has not been baptized by Masami Masano and Akemi Miyano, really take Hezhi's feelings into consideration?

The next second, Inspector Megure pushed the door open with Xiaolan and Natsuno Sosuke and walked into the backstage.

Huihara Ai looked at the head of the person next to Xiaolan who had just emerged from the chair and said, "It's coming."

//

Inspector Megure gathered everyone involved in the case backstage and announced, "This case has been solved by the police."

"Really?" Jing Dai's mother's eyes were full of hatred. "Who on earth, who on earth killed Jing Dai?"

As she spoke, she glanced at He Zhi intentionally or unintentionally.

He Zhi lowered her head and sat in the chair, thinking of her previous threats and inducements, she just found it funny.

Even though her daughter was dead, she only cared about the fact that Jingdai could no longer make money for her. She accused her of killing Jingdai intentionally or unintentionally, and then said that she would not be held accountable as long as she made money for her in the future.

I had heard rumors that this actress was addicted to gambling and spent money like water, but after getting to know Jing Dai, I thought it was just slander... Seeing is believing.

Behind everyone, the program director, who had long been cleared of suspicion, stood at the back and quietly turned on the recording switch of the camera and connected to the Internet.

The general manager, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately directed the technical staff to set up a live broadcast room and chose a payment model that required a payment of 20,000 yen each time entering the room.

20,000 yen is just the right level of expensive but barely acceptable. After the program production team posted the tweet, fans and passers-by who wanted to watch the fun swarmed in.

Xiaolan took a deep breath. It was her first time to read out Shinichi's reasoning in front of so many people and she was a little nervous. Fortunately, she didn't know that there were three million people watching behind her, and this number was still rising crazily.

"First, let's talk about the case of Miss Miki and Miss Muzi. It was a serious crime committed by the criminal out of jealousy. The criminal is not one of you present here. We went to the hospital before and the case has been closed. I won't go into details."

After discussing with Conan, they teamed up with Inspector Megure to hide the truth of the two cases. Because the truth was not kind to Miss Hezhi, who really treated them as friends, and after announcing it, others might also have opinions about Miss Hezhi.

The best result was between Miki and Muzi, who agreed to the proposal after being persuaded by Xiaolan with the consideration of "leaving a good impression in Miss Hezhi's heart and maintaining the image in the public's mind".

Miki and Muzi's relatives all reached an agreement in the hospital. Apart from the program director who was hesitant to speak, no one else paid any extra attention backstage.

"Let's talk about Miss Kyōdai's case first."

Xiaolan recalled Conan's story, "The method of committing the crime is actually very simple. Since they like to drink cold water, after mixing the salt water, most of the seven people would leave the cups open in the cool place of the kitchen until the water is completely cooled before taking the cups away. This gave the criminal an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"If anyone in the group wants to kill Miss Jingdai, they can just go into the kitchen and add poison to the salt water. The salt water will cover up the smell of the poison and Miss Jingdai will drink it without any defense."

Jing Dai's mother looked at He Zhi and said, "That means the criminal must be from this group!"

"That's right. We can find the murderer by looking at the order in which the cups were taken."

Xiaolan looked solemn, "But unfortunately, since there is no surveillance camera installed in the apartment, there is no evidence to identify the murderer in this case."

Seeing the angry look on Kyōdai's mother's face, Xiaolan comforted her in time, "Calm down first. I'm just saying that generally speaking, there is no evidence left. Now let's talk about Ms. Rika's case, and then we'll announce the evidence together."

Xiaolan pursed her lips. "It's obvious that the original target of this murder was Miss Hezhi. The chandelier was designed with a timer. When the chandelier fell, it would be when the song entered the second half and Miss Hezhi moved to the middle. The only people who could calculate the exact time were the staff of this concert... and the seven people in the band."

"The criminal arrived at the concert one day in advance during the break before the concert. At this time, everything related to the concert had been

The chandelier is a liftable structure pulled by an iron chain. After the prisoner lowers the chandelier, he cuts the connection between the chandelier and the iron chain and hangs it on the balance point. All he needs to do is set the vibration time and the chandelier will fall.

"Because today is a concert, the organizers have installed hidden cameras in addition to locking the door to the venue in order to prevent stalkers and radical fans from sneaking into the venue beforehand."

Xiaolan looked at Lianyou with sharp eyes, "Even if she is in disguise, her height, walking posture, habitual movements... these can all be used as evidence to file a lawsuit!"

Lian You felt the strange looks from the people around her, "Why are you looking at me? He Zhi and I have such a good relationship, how could I hurt He Zhi? Go ahead and sue me if you want. I will also sue you for slander!"

"If you want more direct evidence, there is that, too."

Xiaolan looked at Songxue, "Isn't that right, Miss Songxue?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Song Xue yawned, "I do have the sneaky outfit that Lianyou wore when she went out yesterday, the video of her entering the venue, and even the photo of her cutting the chandelier... "

"I thought her target was Muzi who was going to perform solo next, so I didn't stop her. I'm really sorry."

She looked at Lianyou who was stiff with contempt, complaining, "Because you always thought that Muzi's captaincy was snatched from you? But you didn't expect that you wanted to kill Hezhi who had been helping you so earnestly. It's really hard to read people's hearts."

"It's not just that, Miss Songxue - the poison that killed Miss Jingdai was put into her water cup by you!" Xiaolan pointed out the truth directly.

"Yes."

Song Xue admitted it very readily, "I originally thought that Jing Dai would just collapse on the stage. Even if Jing Dai died, the production team could issue a statement saying that Jing Dai was ill and went abroad for treatment and left the group. I didn't expect that the idiot Lianyou would kill someone in such a way."

She looked very distressed. "I don't dare to touch the chandelier, for fear of being crushed to death. But if I call the police, I have to explain why I know about this. I just thought of killing Muzi first, and then reporting Lianyou. A four-person group would be good, and the rest of the people would also win sympathy."

"But a two-person group... How can a two-person group play? Just go to jail. I'm tired of reading light novels recently. There should be a lot of good new books after I finish my jail term, right?"

Chapter 93 Unfinished Dream

Kyōdai's mother doesn't want to believe that it wasn't Hezhi who killed her daughter. Songxue's popularity is the lowest in the group, so she is not as valuable as Hezhi!

"Why did you kill Jing Dai?"

"You know why in your heart."

Songxue looked at Jingdai's mother with interest, "You originally planned to use Jingdai as a blood bag for the entire group, relying on the advantage of being a child star to harvest everyone's popularity for Jingdai. But Hezhi suddenly emerged, and there was no way to suppress him, so you wanted to use the method of throwing dirty water to destroy Hezhi's reputation."

"He Zhi is a well-known good person. He thinks everyone is important. Even the bottom of the group will try his best to help them improve their popularity...Replacing He Zhi with Jing Dai who is full of malicious ideas? I don't want that. Rather than letting you succeed, I might as well take action in advance."

In fact, I didn't have that many thoughts, I just got rid of it because I thought it was an eyesore.

However, seeing that Jingdai's mother's eyes were red with anger, Songxue was very satisfied.

He Zhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, her usually clear voice sounding a little hoarse, "Where is Lian You, why do you want to kill me?"

Lianyou couldn't deny it anymore and burst into tears, "It was obviously me who played the songs. Without me, your songs wouldn't have been played - but in the end everyone was praising you!"

"What about me? I have been working hard to learn a musical instrument since I was a child. I practice eight hours a day. Every time I get a piece of music, I practice desperately many times before I can play it well... and then I become a foil!"

"They would say Miki's rap is great, Rika dances beautifully, Matsuyuki's choreography is amazing, and Kaori not only sings the best, but also writes the best songs - thanks to Ren Youen for coming up with this!"

Lianyou cried and vented her anger, then looked at Inspector Megure in panic for understanding, "I didn't mean to kill Hezhi! As long as Hezhi stood in the middle, the falling chandelier would only hurt and disfigure Hezhi. Who knew that Miki suddenly became mute and caused Hezhi to stand in the middle? Who knew that Rika would come out and meddle in other people's business..."

"Even if He Zhi is disabled, I will still be her good friend, give her money and take care of her, as long as she writes songs for me and doesn't take the credit from me by writing songs—"

"Snapped!"

He Zhi couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her.

"I was wrong. It was indeed my mistake."

She tried her best to suppress the urge to cry, wanting to be tougher and more resolute, but her voice couldn't help but sob a little, "I shouldn't have left the performance to you just to take care of you, to give you a personal touch, to form a band with you..."

Lianyou covered her face and refused to give in. "You didn't give me the performance. I used my ability to get it! I should regret playing for you so hard and giving you all the credit—"

He Zhi just smiled at himself, turned around and sat in front of a performance piano backstage.

He placed his fingers on the keys and pressed them aimlessly.

After a confused harmony, she began to play.

At first, there was a very lonely sound of piano.

Walking step by step on the endless grass, as if recalling or mourning something.

The piano music slowly stopped.

next second.

The chords in both hands suddenly became jumbled, like a gentle stream falling from the top of a mountain, rushing straight down with the momentum to destroy everything.

The strange piano sound is full of doubt, confusion, puzzlement, and absurdity...

It's ridiculous.

"Liszt's, Memories of Don Juan."

Lianyou could no longer stand and fell to her knees in despair.

She couldn't even play one fifth of it, and was stuck on the very beginning of the variation... not to mention playing it so well.

After the last note fell heavily, He Zhi withdrew his hand and turned his back to Lian You, "Violin, guitar, drums, bass, strings... any instrument will do."

“How can someone arrange music without knowing how to play an instrument? Even if all the trainees don’t know how to play an instrument, the production team can still hire someone to record it.”

He Zhi just felt very tired.

I have no strength in my whole body.
