The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 593 Exchange of Murders

"An...xi?"

Nan Lixun looked at the familiar face pressed against the wall in front of her, and for a moment she couldn't believe her eyes.

She murmured softly, thinking back to what the man was about to do, and an inexplicable feeling came to her heart.

Angry? Sad?

neither.

It's giving up.

........................

after a while

Room 1016

At this time, after catching Anxi on the spot, Hakumasatsu called Shiratori Renzaburo and asked him to stop the investigation and bring people to meet Mrs. Kanako here.

Anxi, who had previously intended to commit murder, was handcuffed and pressed next to the sofa.

Nanli Xun sat quietly on the bed in the hotel room. She had imagined every scene of her meeting Anxi, but this scene was the only one that was not there.

I sat on the bed with despair, while Anxi squatted on the ground beside me with a look of hatred on his face, his hands handcuffed.

The good days they had before seemed like just a dream.

"Tell me, Mr. Anxi,"

Bai Masong crossed his legs, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked down at the young man squatting on the ground with an indifferent expression.

"Tsk, what do you want me to say?"

The man, let’s call him Anxi, although I don’t know whether this surname is real or fake.

Anxi curled his lips with disdain.

"You've all seen it, haven't you? I attempted murder but you police can't do anything to me, right?"

"No, I'm not talking about your failed attempt to kill Miss Nan Li Xun,"

Bai Masong was not angry at all when facing Anxi's appearance, but slowly said,

"I'm talking about the deal and conspiracy between you and Hitomi Matsuichiro, and then the murder of Mr. Hitomi Takehiko."

what? !

Bai Masong's words were like a heavy bomb dropped on the calm lake.

Everyone, including Sato Miwako who had been following him in the investigation, Kanako Mi who was heartbroken because of her husband's death, even Minamisato Kaoru who was in a trance, and a group of police officers including Takagi Wataru and Shiratori Rensaburo, all looked at Hakuba Matsu in disbelief.

He made a deal with Hitomi Matsuichiro and murdered Hitomi Takehiko...

In just one short sentence, two pieces of important news were revealed.

Why did Anzai, who had never appeared before, know and trade with the dead person Mimatsu Ichiro?

Also, the person who killed Takehiko Hitomi was actually the man who deceived Minamisato Kaoru?

What on earth is going on?

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about?!"

Anxi was shocked when he heard Baimasong's words, but then he immediately covered it up and cursed at Baimasong with an innocent look.

"Md, don't think you can frame me just because you're a cop! I don't even know that guy Takehiko, why would I kill him?"

"It's true that you don't know Hitomi Takehiko, but you know Hitomi Matsuichiro, and that's enough."

Bai Masong remained calm in the face of Anxi's provocation.

As he spoke, he raised one of his hands.

"Before I say anything, I want to ask you five questions."

"First,"

He raised his hand and extended a finger. At the same time, with his other hand, he took out the camera that he had asked Maori Kogoro for, found a certain photo, and placed it on the table.

"This photo shows Hitomi Matsuichiro making a phone call using a public phone at the Beika Hotel."

"Excuse me, why does Hitomi Matsuichiro use a pay phone to make calls when he has a cell phone?"

"this......"

Maori Kogoro looked at the photos he had taken. He had not thought about such a question at that time. When asked this question, he hesitated for a moment and then randomly thought of a statement and guessed.

"Could it be that his cell phone had a bad signal at the time?"

After listening to Maori Kogoro's answer, Hakuba Matsu did not comment, but continued to raise his second finger.

"The second question is an old question we have thought about before - Hitomi Matsuichiro was in the bathroom from 11:10 to 11:30, a total of 20 minutes, and only one and a half minutes of that time was spent on the phone to his sister-in-law Hitomi Kanako, and that was exactly in the middle of the 20 minutes."

"So, what did he do during the twenty minutes he was in the bathroom, other than when he was on the phone?"

This is an old question. Everyone has discussed it before, but no one could think of a reasonable possibility.

At this time, Baimasong threw it out again, which still made everyone very confused.

"The third question is very simple, that is, why did Hitomi Matsuichiro attack Miss Minamisato Kaoru? It turns out that they did not know each other."

"The fourth question is, why did Hitomi Matsuichiro invite Mrs. Hitomi Kanako to come out to Beika Town during the phone call with her, even though he was about to attack Miss Minamisato Kaoru at that time."

"Fifth question, the key to Mr. Hitomi Takehiko's house is special and difficult to replicate, so the murderer must have entered the house with the key. In that case, can the murderer only be Mr. Hitomi Matsuichiro, who is already dead, and Mrs. Hitomi Kanako, who is currently present?"

Bai Masong asked the remaining four questions in succession. The last two questions were obviously prepared specifically for Sato Miwako and Shiratori Rensaburo.

There are five questions in total, all of which are suspicious points in this case, but they also point directly to the truth.

Especially the last three questions, in connection with what Hakuba Matsu said before, that Anzai was the murderer of Hitomi Takehiko, Sato Miwako and Shiratori Jinsaburo seemed to have seen some clues.

"The truth of the case is - exchange killings!"

Bai Masong put down his raised hand and slowly uttered the final answer.

Exchange killing!

This word basically only appears in mystery novels, but now it has entered everyone's field of vision.

"Only by exchanging murders can the above five questions be explained."

Bai Masong concluded calmly,

"Why did Hitomi Matsuichiro attack Minamisato Kaoru who had nothing to do with him? It was because of the exchange killing."

"Hitomi Matsuichiro has a grudge against his younger brother Hitomi Takehiko, and Anzai wants to kill Minamisato Kaoru, who he had deceived, so the two hit it off."

"Of course, compared to hitting it off immediately, I personally prefer that it was this ruthless Mr. Anzai who bewitched Mr. Misatsu Ichiro, who owed a large amount of money, and made him go down the wrong path, which cost him his life."
