The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 520: Vending Machine-like Feelings

"But in fact, Miss Taimei's body had already fallen before this."

"You only need to wrap Miss Taimei's body with a thin layer of cloth, and when you open the sunroof, Miss Taimei's body inside the cloth will float down due to the wind flow generated by your car coming up."

"The evidence is that we have found a blood-stained vinyl mat over there."

After listening to Hakumasong saying that the mat had been found, Fukuura Reiji and Iigo Takuto had basically gotten over their shock.

They began to become silent.

Because at this time, they had basically believed Bai Masong's words.

Putting aside other things, just the fact that it was a mat was enough to make Fukuura Reiji get rid of most of the suspicion. After all, his skills were enough to make people fall down at any time, so there was no need to do this.

Moreover, they all thought of a detail at this time.

That was before, when Tencho Haruka used fireworks as an excuse to ask Fukuura Reiji to open the skylight. If that were the case, Taimi's body might have fallen down at that time.

Seeing that even these two people understood, Bai Masong felt that it was time to end it.

"Miss Heaven, I don't need to explain the rest. You came here a year ago, so you know very well that if you don't reach the top of the mountain by the time the fireworks are set off, you will definitely open the skylight."

"So your idea of ​​opening a skylight doesn't seem out of place at all."

"Even if you didn't bring up this idea, Mr. Fukuura and Mr. Fango would have brought it up."

"Your plan will definitely be implemented, and the probability of success is 100%."

"And the reason why you invited Dr. Agasa and his group to join your trip was to prevent their car from following behind and seeing Miss Taimei's body in the RV."

After Bai Masong finished speaking, Tiantang Qinghua remained silent.

There is no excitement like those previous suspects, nor the tension of being exposed.

However, she still opened her mouth and asked Bai Masong softly,

"Why do you think it was me?"

"This method can also be implemented by Fukuura or Takuto."

Rather than being a quibble, Tiantang Qinghua's words were more like a way of telling herself to give up.

At this time, Conan, who thought he played a key role, jumped out.

"Because Sister Qinghua, your belt is different!"

"When we were camping and taking pictures this afternoon, your belt was still intact and passed through every loop on your jeans, but now it's missing the middle one!"

"I......"

Tiantang Qinghua opened her mouth wide. She really didn't expect that she would be identified as the murderer because of this small detail.

"Ah,"

She gave a helpless smile.

"It seems that I can't even do something like killing someone well."

"Yes, I killed Taimei."

Conan and others were even stunned when they saw Tencho Haruka admit her crime so decisively.

After all, there are countless reasons to justify this detail.

When Bai Masong and others had not found the blood-stained clothes and pants, there was no need for Tiantang Qinghua to admit his crime.

As a result, Bai Masong's plan to put pressure on others by finding the jeans immediately was no longer possible.

"Why?! Qinghua, why did you...?"

Takuto Fango, who looked the most normal person nearby, asked Tencho Haruka in a hurry.

Obviously, everyone was excited to go out and play a few days ago, and they looked so happy, but now...

"Why? Do you have the nerve to ask why?!"

As soon as Fango Takuto said this, Tencho Haruka, who had not been excited even when he was accused of murder, became like a wave hit by a typhoon, and turned into a man-eating giant beast, violently slamming the embankment.

"Don't you know the reason?!"

"You all know that I... I'm not some young lady, but you..."

There was a crying tone in her voice, her eyes were red and sparkling with tears. No one knew what was contained in those tears.

Is it anger, grievance, or some other emotion...

Tencho Haruka's intense reaction made Fango Takuto, who seemed to have the moral upper hand, feel guilty.

He knew that Tiantang Qinghua knew those things.

He had never supported the actions of Shirafuji Yasumi and Fukuura Reiji, and now because of Shirafuji Yasumi's death, he regretted even more that he had not stopped them.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he uttered the familiar syllables.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Tiantang Qinghua refused to accept the apology at this time. If the apology was useful, how could she commit the crime of murder.

At this moment, she broke the image of a reserved young lady that she had pretended to be, and like an endless wave, she wanted to madly pour out the things that she had buried for a long time.

In this way, time has come to express the motive of each case.

Tiantang Qinghua is a girl who comes from the countryside. Because her family is very poor and she looks very ordinary, she has had few friends since she was a child.

Later, through her own efforts, she came to Tokyo to attend university.

Her experiences from childhood to adulthood made her think she had figured out one truth: if a person has no money and no looks, no one will like him or her.

So, this girl who longed for love worked frantically and borrowed money just to disguise herself as a daughter of a wealthy family.

During her college relationships, she spent a lavish amount of money and tried every means to prove her identity, even if it meant taking out huge loans and living in the dirtiest slums.

She also met Reiji Fukuura, Takuto Iigo and the deceased Taimi Shirafuji at the university, and they became her very good friends.

However, by chance, she discovered that Shirafuji Taimi had followed her and knew her true face beneath the mask.

It wouldn't matter if she knew, but Shirafuji Taimi decided to pretend she didn't know. She wanted to continue to stay with Tencho Haruka, squeeze the last drop of blood from Tencho Haruka, and devalue the friendship that Tencho Haruka thought of herself as worthless.

Moreover, Shirafuji Yasumi's idea was strongly supported by Fukuura Reiji. He was in love with Tencho Haruka because of her money. Now that someone is carrying the burden, he naturally doesn't want to give up this long-term meal ticket.

Although Takuto Hango thought it was inappropriate, people are selfish. In a one-to-two situation, Takuto Hango finally chose to pretend he didn't know.

Therefore, Tencho Haruka turned completely evil. She decided to kill Shirafuji Taimi in revenge for her trampling on her friendship, and then put the blame on Fukuura Reiji, the guy who took advantage of her body and money for free.

According to Tian Tang Qing Hua, “Isn’t she afraid that I will ask her for the money back? I just want to turn the tables and kill this guy who trampled on our friendship!”

But is there really a friendship between her and Shirafuji Taimi?

In fact, the relationship between her and Shirafuji Taimi was just mutual satisfaction. Tencho Haruka used the money she worked hard to earn to fill the inferiority complex she once lacked, and Shirafuji Taimi was just helping her act.

True love should be like that of Xiaolan and Sonoko. No matter how rich Suzuki Sonoko is, she can accompany Xiaolan to eat street ramen which costs only a few hundred yen.

To use a phrase said by Ai-chan in the original work - this kind of emotion is at best just a vending machine with canned drinks. You can quench your thirst temporarily by putting money in, but once the money is gone, nothing can get out.

The human heart cannot be measured by money.
