Revealing the Killer, a Disgusting Visage

"Mhm, send two officers over. Take this young lady in for questioning immediately..."

Inspector Megure seemed convinced he had his culprit and was about to order them to take her away when Shu Yunwen suddenly spoke up. "Inspector Megure, this Miss Aiko shouldn't be the killer. Do you really think a woman's strength, wielding a fruit knife, could successfully sever a man's head in that tunnel? Furthermore, you must have found the victim's head by now, right? That kind of cut isn't something a fruit knife could make."

"Huh?" Inspector Megure turned his head, looking at a serious Shu Yunwen. "Yunwen-san, you mean..."

Meanwhile, Hitomi also looked at Shu Yunwen, a flash of hatred briefly crossing her eyes. "Aiko... Aiko seems to have quite a bit of strength..."

"Hitomi-san," Shu Yunwen interrupted her. "What the killer says doesn't seem trustworthy."

"Wh-what?" Inspector Megure exclaimed, surprised. "This lady is the killer? But her seat was in the first row, and the victim was in the third, with Yunwen-san and your companion in between..."

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes listening to Inspector Megure's rambling—

This guy really intends to play the role of someone who questions correct deductions!

Shu Yunwen made a shushing gesture with his hand and then said, "Inspector Megure, if you want to know the truth, then don't interrupt me. Listen to me finish!"

He paused, then turned to Tsukamoto Kazumi. "Kazumi-san, could you do me a favor?"

"Of course," Tsukamoto Kazumi replied, also looking surprised. "Yunwen-san, are you going to do a live deduction? I never expected Yunwen-san to be capable of deduction. But, are you sure? If you cause trouble for the police..."

"Don't worry, Kazumi-san. Please trust me," Shu Yunwen said with a smile.

As soon as Shu Yunwen said this, Tsukamoto Kazumi stopped asking questions and readily agreed.

Beside them, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, the three children, were all looking on with surprise and admiration.

Genta: "So cool! Brother Yunwen is going to do a live deduction?"

Mitsuhiko: "Brother Yunwen is classmates with Kudo Shinichi-sama, could he also be a great detective?"

Ayumi: "I don't really feel like Brother Yunwen is very trustworthy. If he messes up, he'll definitely get scolded by the inspector, right?"

Mitsuhiko: "Genta, is Brother Yunwen good at deduction?"

Genta: "I'm not really sure. But I've never seen Brother Yunwen deduce anything."

Ayumi: "See, he's unreliable..."

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes, ignoring the children, and smiled at Tsukamoto Kazumi. "Kazumi-san, please sit here. Oh, and before you sit down, please put your backpack behind you to cushion the seat."

"Okay, okay," Tsukamoto Kazumi nodded.

"Inspector Megure, please sit in the third row, where the victim was. And you, officer, please find a rope, tie a loop at one end, and attach the other end to a hook." As Shu Yunwen gave orders, Hitomi's face grew paler.

Once all the preparations were complete, Shu Yunwen continued, "Kazumi-san, because you have your bag behind you, if you slide down, you should easily be able to slip out from the safety bar. Then, in the pitch-black tunnel, with your feet caught on the safety bar, you could easily swing over the middle section and place this looped rope around Inspector Megure's neck. Finally, hook the other end of the rope onto the railing. If the roller coaster were moving at high speed at this moment, Inspector Megure's head would already be separated from his body..."

"...If you're looking for evidence, Inspector Megure, the police must have found something in the tunnel, right?" Shu Yunwen asked.

Inspector Megure turned to the forensic examiner beside him, who immediately said, "Chief Inspector, we found some scattered pearls in the tunnel, along with a rope with a hook attached..."

Shu Yunwen said, "The necklace must have been the loop around Mr. Kishida's neck. As soon as it entered the tunnel, if the necklace was tied to the rope, it would become the cutting tool I just described."

At this point, everyone understood what had happened.

Ran looked at Hitomi in astonishment. She had always thought this crying woman was a kind person.

As for Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, they were all excitedly looking at Shu Yunwen, shouting things like "So cool!"

Reiko turned to Hitomi, disbelief in her eyes. "Hitomi, where's your necklace? I distinctly saw it when we were on the roller coaster..."

"I... I lost my necklace," Hitomi instinctively covered her neck. "Maybe I lost it accidentally while riding the roller coaster. Officer, are you going to assume I did this just because my necklace is missing? Or maybe the man who's so smugly explaining all this is the one who did it! He knows the process so clearly, it's very likely he's the one!"

"...Right, when I was in the tunnel, you were the one who took my necklace and then attached the hook, killing Kishida..."

As she said all this, Hitomi's expression grew increasingly ferocious.

"H-Hitomi..." Beside her, Hitomi's friend Reiko recoiled in fear, as if seeing a stranger.

Aiko, accompanied by two police officers, also looked at Hitomi with a tear-streaked, unfamiliar expression.

Inspector Megure turned to Shu Yunwen. "Yunwen-san..."

If Hitomi insisted on this, they truly didn't have enough evidence to prove she did it. Without sufficient evidence for conviction, even if a lawsuit were filed, the judge wouldn't rule her guilty. Moreover, because Hitomi was trying to shift the blame, Shu Yunwen would have to go to the police station to give a statement.

"Damn it! You're the one who did it, so why aren't you admitting it?" Genta shouted.

Mitsuhiko also spoke up. "Brother Yunwen has already explained the truth, yet she still refuses to confess. How detestable!"

"And she's trying to frame someone else! What a terrible person!" Ayumi chimed in.

Shu Yunwen looked at Hitomi with cold eyes.

This woman, her true nature completely exposed now, disgusted and angered him.

"That hook, you were carrying it, so it should have your..." Shu Yunwen began slowly.

"Oh? You mean my fingerprints? Then go check!" Hitomi shouted. "If there are really my fingerprints, then you can arrest me! So, none of this counts as evidence! This evidence isn't enough to prove I did it! Right, officer?"

Inspector Megure frowned and whispered to Shu Yunwen, "Shu-san, given her confidence, there probably aren't her fingerprints on the hook or the rope."

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes at Inspector Megure. "Inspector Megure, are you being led by her nose too? When did I say there would be fingerprints? Since she brought the hook and rope, she must have kept them in something. As long as there was contact, the hook and rope could have picked up something. For example... lint, scratches, skin cells... If these can be matched, can you explain what happened?"

Hitomi heard this and froze, stunned.

Beside her, a female police officer stepped forward. "Hello, madam, we need to inspect your personal belongings..."

"Go away, go away!" Hitomi protected her bag.

Inspector Megure waved his hand, signaling for others to help. Shu Yunwen, meanwhile, took out his camera again and delivered a fatal blow: "Actually, Ms. Hitomi, no matter how much you deny it, it's useless. What happened in the tunnel was coincidentally captured by my camera. Although it was very dark, my recorder has a night vision function. The scene of you putting the necklace with the hook around Mr. Kishida's head was clearly filmed. Do you want to see it?"

"R-really?" Before Hitomi could speak, Inspector Megure got excited. "Yunwen-san, please give me the camera you're holding. This is very important evidence."

As long as the crime was captured on film, Hitomi wouldn't be able to escape no matter how many mouths she had!

Her true face after removing her disguise wasn't just disgusting to Shu Yunwen and the others; even the police found her utterly detestable.

Shu Yunwen held the camera and said with a smile, "It's no problem to give it to the inspector, but... do you know how to operate it? This is the latest model on the market, and its operation is a bit different from other machines. What if you accidentally erase the tape..."

"..." Inspector Megure was speechless. "Please, Yunwen-san, just play the footage for me to see."

"Okay." Shu Yunwen nodded and began adjusting the camera to play the video.

Not far away, Hitomi finally had her bag taken by the police, handcuffs were placed on her wrists, and she was being led towards Inspector Megure.

As they got closer, suddenly, Hitomi broke free from the two police officers holding her, snatched the iron hook from the forensic technician in front of her, and charged at Shu Yunwen with a ferocious expression, swinging the hook down towards Shu Yunwen's face with all her might. "Die!"

"Watch out!" Inspector Megure didn't have time to counterattack, so he bravely used his stout body to shield Shu Yunwen, preparing to take the blow head-on.

Shu Yunwen's gaze was cold as he recited a Sorcerous Curse. Although the introductory level of Sorcerous Curses didn't have many effective counter-attack methods, the simplest illusion spell was enough to dodge an iron hook.

Ran cried out in alarm and ran over from behind, but after only two steps, she heard a "bang." A footprint appeared on Hitomi's face, and then Hitomi fell to the side. Two police officers immediately pounced and pinned her down.

Tsukamoto Kazumi retracted her leg, brought her feet together, and stood beside Shu Yunwen, smiling sweetly. "Yunwen-san, are you alright?"

"Me? Heh heh..." Shu Yunwen's mouth twitched twice. "Of course, I'm fine. The one who's not fine should be her, right?"

Shu Yunwen pointed at Hitomi, whose face was covered in dust, bearing a clear shoe print, and bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

Wait, he seemed to remember something. In the anime, Tsukamoto Kazumi also appeared, and she was apparently... the captain of the karate club?

Damn it, are you kidding me?

Tsukamoto Kazumi had always been the gentle type in front of him. Now, it seemed that beneath her gentle exterior lay a violent heart...

Ran chuckled awkwardly and stopped.

Tsukamoto Kazumi's strength made her feel quite pressured. That kick to Hitomi... she probably wouldn't die, right?

"You're all useless! You can't even keep one person in check!" Inspector Megure began loudly scolding his incompetent subordinates. All the police officers under Inspector Megure's intimidating presence wore bitter expressions and lowered their heads to endure the reprimand.

After receiving some basic treatment, Hitomi looked at Shu Yunwen with hatred. "...You clearly told me you would help me cover up the fact that I killed Kishida!"

Inspector Megure froze for a moment, then turned to look at Shu Yunwen seriously. "Yunwen-san, is what she's saying true?"

Helping a criminal cover up their crime was unforgivable in the eyes of the police.

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes internally and said with a smile, "Inspector Megure, how is that possible? After watching the video, I confirmed she was the culprit. I was just trying to probe her methods when I was talking to her earlier. How could I possibly help someone like her cover up her crimes? She's a murderer! Revealing the truth and catching a murderer is what I do."

Tsukamoto Kazumi stood beside Shu Yunwen and defended him, "Inspector Megure, how could Yunwen-san do such a thing?"

Ran also chimed in, "Inspector Megure, Shu-san wouldn't do such a thing. Didn't Shu-san help the police solve a murder case yesterday? If Shu-san were that kind of person, he wouldn't have helped the police yesterday."

Inspector Megure paused, then sheepishly scratched his head and smiled. "Yunwen-san, I'm truly sorry for suspecting you just now..."

Besides, in Inspector Megure's mind, this woman Hitomi was also extremely detestable and not worth believing at all.

"It's nothing, Inspector Megure." Shu Yunwen smiled faintly, looking coldly at Hitomi.

Kishida, who had already been absorbed by Shu Yunwen, might have been a scoundrel, but Hitomi in her current state was definitely no good either. Perhaps, even worse.

"But he really promised to help me cover up the crime..." Hitomi insisted, but no one believed her.

The trio of Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi started whispering again.

"She's already caught, and she still wants to frame Brother Yunwen." Genta was displeased.

"Is it because Brother Yunwen helped the police catch her? She's such a bad person, worse than the monsters in Kamen Rider!" Ayumi clenched her fists.

"Yes, she's a really, really bad person." Mitsuhiko held his chin with his right hand, looking like he was deep in thought. "However, according to Brother Yunwen, he knew the culprit was that bad older sister from the video and then started investigating her methods. So, he didn't actually find the culprit through deduction!"

"Oh, right!" Genta nodded. "So, Brother Yunwen isn't that amazing either!"

"Ah! I just thought Brother Yunwen was a great detective, no less than the high school detective Kudo Shinichi..." Ayumi looked disappointed. "Is he just an ordinary uncle after all?"

Shu Yunwen listened to the incessant chatter of these brats, and the "well" symbol reappeared on his forehead.

Ran chuckled, "Actually, Shu-san is also very capable..."

As the group was talking, someone from outside the crowd shouted, "Please make way! Make way! Let me through! Thank you..."

Then, an arrogant person pushed through the crowd. "I heard there's a case here? Hmm, I can help! No matter what kind of case it is, nothing is too difficult for me, Kudo Shinichi!"

That's right, the person who barged in was Kudo Shinichi.

Ran saw "Washing Machine" and happily went to greet him. "Shinichi, you're here? Where did you go just now?"

"Huh? It's Ran! Wait a moment!" Kudo Shinichi waved his hand, then turned his gaze to Inspector Megure. "Officer, I heard a murder case happened here, is that right? Is there anything I can help with?"

"Haha! It's Kudo-kun! Thank you for coming all this way, it's really troublesome. However, today's case has already been solved, and the culprit has been caught." The case was solved, and Inspector Megure was in a good mood. He greeted Kudo Shinichi warmly.

"It's, it's already solved?" Kudo Shinichi was a little surprised and a little disappointed.

Inspector Megure suddenly became displeased, looking at him askance. "Oh? Kudo-kun looks quite disappointed!"

"N-no, of course not?" Kudo Shinichi quickly stood up straight.

Ran also walked over and apologized, "Inspector Megure, Shinichi absolutely didn't mean it that way. Shinichi, it was Shu-san who solved the case!"

Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Kazumi also walked over. "Hello, Kudo-kun."

"Hello, Shu-classmate, Tsukamoto-senpai," Kudo Shinichi greeted, feeling very annoyed inside.

So, the one who solved the case is this Shu Yunwen?

Hmph! A guy who loves to hog the spotlight!

Alright, actually, Kudo Shinichi's true inner thoughts were that his spotlight had been stolen.

Of course, as the great high school detective Kudo Shinichi, he would absolutely never admit to such a thing!

Mm... never admit it!

PS: When writing fanfiction, of course, the plot has to be changed~

Otherwise, it's no different than recommending everyone watch the Detective Conan anime, don't you agree?

PS2: This change feels alright. Actually, in the anime, I personally think this woman wasn't exactly a good person either. She killed people, and then framed Aiko, so she's not necessarily a good person...

PS3: In the next chapter, the washing machine will become small. Thinking about it makes me excited~

PS4: With so many words, my sincerity is overflowing~

PS5: Those who have read it, please collect and recommend it, at least let me see better data~

PS6: There are no more PS sections below. I swear!
