Revealing the Murderer, a Disgusting Face~

Chapter 10: Revealing the Killer, a Disgusting Facade~

"Hmm, send two people over, take this young lady back for questioning immediately..."

Inspector Megure seemed convinced of the killer's identity and was about to order the arrest when Shu Yunwen suddenly spoke up. "Inspector Megure, this Miss Aiko is probably not the killer. Do you think a woman's strength, holding a fruit knife, could successfully decapitate a man in that section of the tunnel? Also, you must have found the victim's head, right? The cut wouldn't have been made by a fruit knife."

"Huh?" Inspector Megure turned his head and looked at Shu Yunwen, who had a serious expression. "Yunwen-san, you're saying..."

As for Hitomi, she also looked at Shu Yunwen, a flash of hatred in her eyes. "Aiko, Aiko seems quite strong..."

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

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

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes as he listened to Inspector Megure's rambling—

This guy was really going 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 and let me finish!"

After a pause, Shu Yunwen turned to Tsukamoto Kazumi and said, "Kazumi-san, could you do me a favor?"

"Of course," Tsukamoto Kazumi replied, also looking surprised. "Is Yunwen-san going to do a live deduction? I never expected Yunwen-san to be good at deductions. But, will it be correct? If it causes trouble for the police..."

"It won't, Kazumi-san. Please believe 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, looked astonished and full of admiration.

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

Mitsuhiko: "Brother Yunwen is classmates with Kudo Shinichi-sama, does that mean he's also a great detective?"

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

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

Genta: "I'm not really sure. But I haven't seen Brother Yunwen make a deduction before."

Ayumi: "He really is 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 as a cushion."

"Okay, okay," Tsukamoto Kazumi nodded.

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

Once all the preparations were made, Shu Yunwen continued, "Kazumi-san, because you have your bag behind you, if you slide down, you should be able to easily slip out from the safety bar. Then, in the pitch-black tunnel, with your feet on the safety bar, you can easily cross the middle section in the air and hang this loop made of rope around Inspector Megure's neck. Finally, hook the other end onto the rail. If the roller coaster were moving at high speed at this moment, Inspector Megure's head would have already 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 technician beside him, who immediately said, "Chief Inspector, we found some scattered pearls in the tunnel, as well as a rope with a hook attached..."

Shu Yunwen spoke, "The necklace, it must have been the loop that was around Mr. Kishida's neck, right? Once inside the tunnel, if you tie the necklace with the rope, it becomes the cutting tool I just described."

At this point, everyone understood what had happened.

Ran looked at Hitomi in surprise. 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 "Amazing!" and the like.

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

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

"...That's right, when I was in the tunnel, you took my necklace and hung the hook, killing Kishida..."

As she said all this, Hitomi's expression became increasingly distorted.

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

Aiko, accompanied by two police officers, looked at Hitomi with tears streaming down her face, also with an 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 would not rule her guilty. Moreover, because Hitomi was trying to shift the blame, Shu Yunwen would have to go to the police station and cooperate with giving a statement.

"Damn it! You're the one who did it, so why, why won't you admit it?" Genta asked loudly.

Mitsuhiko also chimed in, "Brother Yunwen has already explained the truth, yet she still refuses to confess, how detestable!"

"And she's trying to shift the blame, what a wicked person!" Ayumi added her support.

Shu Yunwen looked at Hitomi with cold eyes.

This woman, at this moment, seemed to have completely exposed her true nature, making him feel disgusted and angry.

"That hook, you were carrying it, so there should be 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 is not enough to prove I did it! Right, officer?"

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

Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes at Inspector Megure. "Inspector Megure, have you been led by her nose too? When did I say there would be fingerprints? Since she brought the hook and rope, they must have been in something. If there was contact, the hook and rope might have picked up something. For example... lint, scratches, skin flakes... If these are found to match, can you explain what happened?"

Hitomi was stunned by this, her mind going blank.

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

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

Inspector Megure waved his hand, signaling for others to go 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 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 excitedly interjected, "Yunwen-san, please hand me the camera you have. This is very important evidence."

As long as the crime was captured on film, Hitomi would be unable to escape punishment, no matter how many excuses she had!

The woman's true face after shedding her disguise was not only detestable to Shu Yunwen and the others, but even the police found her extremely unpleasant.

Shu Yunwen held the camera and said with a smile, "There's no problem handing it over to the inspector, but… can you operate it? This is the latest model on the market, and its operation is quite different from other machines. If you accidentally erase the tape…"

"…" Inspector Megure was speechless. "Then please, Yunwen-san, 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 away by the police and handcuffs placed on her wrists. She was being led towards Inspector Megure.

As she got closer, suddenly, Hitomi broke free from the two police officers holding her, snatched the iron hook from a forensic technician, 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 used his stout body to block Shu Yunwen, preparing to take the blow head-on.

Shu Yunwen's gaze was cold as he chanted a Sorcerous Curse. Although the introductory level of sorcery 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" as a footprint appeared on Hitomi's face. Then, Hitomi fell to the side, and two police officers immediately pounced on her, pinning her down.

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

"Me? Hehe…" Shu Yunwen's mouth twitched twice. "Of course, I'm fine. She's the one who's probably not alright, 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 seemed to have appeared, and she was also… the captain of the karate club?

Damn it, are you kidding me?

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

Ran chuckled dryly beside him and stopped.

Even she felt pressured by Tsukamoto Kazumi's strength. That Hitomi, after being kicked like that, probably… 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 overshadowed by Inspector Megure's glare wore bitter expressions and lowered their heads to endure the reprimand.

After receiving simple 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 I saw the footage, I confirmed she was the killer. I was only trying to probe her methods when I spoke with her earlier. How could I possibly help someone like her cover up her crime? She's a murderer! Revealing the truth and catching murderers 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…"

Moreover, 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, whose essence had been absorbed by Shu Yunwen, might have been a scumbag, but Hitomi in her current state was definitely not any better. 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 been caught, and she still wants to frame Brother Yunwen." Genta was very 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.

"Yeah, she's a really, really bad person." Mitsuhiko stroked his chin with his right hand, looking like he was deducing. "But, according to Brother Yunwen, he knew the killer was that bad older sister from the video, and then he started investigating her methods. So, he didn't actually find the killer through deduction!"

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

"Ah! I 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 grumbling of these brats, and the character "Well" began to appear above his head again.

Ran chuckled, "Actually, Shu-san is also very amazing…"

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

Then, a rather 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 were you just now?"

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

"Haha! It's Kudo-kun! Thank you for coming all this way. However, today's case has already been solved, and the culprit has been apprehended." With the case solved, Inspector Megure was in a good mood and greeted Kudo Shinichi enthusiastically.

"It's, it's already solved?" Kudo Shinichi looked somewhat surprised and somewhat disappointed.

Inspector Megure immediately became displeased and squinted. "Oh? Kudo-kun seems quite disappointed!"

"H-how could that be?" Kudo Shinichi quickly straightened up.

Ran also walked over and apologized, "Inspector Megure, Shinichi absolutely didn't mean anything by it. 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 them, feeling very unhappy inside.

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

Hmph! A guy who loves to steal the spotlight!

Alright, actually, Kudo Shinichi's real 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 something like this!

Mmm... never admit it!

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

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

PS2: I think this change is acceptable. Actually, in the anime, I personally don't think this woman is a good person either. She kills people, and then frames Aiko; she can't be a good person...

PS3: In the next chapter, the washing machine will become smaller. Just thinking about it makes me excited~

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

PS5: If you've read this, please bookmark and recommend it, at least so the data looks better for me~

PS6: No more PS below, I swear!
