Chapter 43

Lin Yi took off his mask and revealed his attractive face.

The long-haired girl was surprised and immediately became a bit shy; her femininity seemed to rise: "N-no problem."

To regain the image she had just lost, the long-haired girl proactively said, "Do you want to see?"

"Can I?"

"Of course," the long-haired girl stepped aside to give Lin Yi space.

"Thank you."

Lin Yi smiled at her and walked forward without ceremony.

Using this method, regardless of whether they were groups of girls, couples, or middle-aged women, as long as Lin Yi showed his face, they would step aside.

Lin Yi made the most of his impact on another group of women and soon found himself in the front rows.

Once he could see the people involved, Lin Yi put the mask back on and observed the situation at the scene.

The crime scene was already cordoned off by the police with yellow tape, and no unauthorized person could enter.

Besides the detectives on the scene, there was Ran, the victim Hitomi's friend, Aiko, the victim's girlfriend, and her friend Reiko, a couple of passersby, and lastly, Gin and Vodka, the men in black.

The victim, Kishida, lay on the ground covered with a white cloth.

Upon looking at Gin and Vodka, Lin Yi couldn't help but focus more on them.

It could be said that the two were crucial figures driving the plot of Conan, so it was impossible not to notice them.

Carefully observing Gin, Lin Yi had to admit that he looked really cool. In his youth, he must have been a very handsome guy, and with his usual involvement in criminal activities and his habitual disdain for human life, he had acquired an aura of coldness and danger that, indeed, made him look even cooler.

Although he wore a black coat, the prominent muscles in his arms were still noticeable.

It was the kind of body that looked slim with clothes on but muscular without them, and at nearly six feet three inches tall, he was a true living mannequin.

Lin Yi thought that if Gin stopped being a murderer and became a model, with his cold attitude and blonde hair that would make women feel embarrassed, he would surely become a big star without problems.

No wonder Vermouth frequently showed him signals.

Then he looked at Vodka.

In comparison to Gin, Vodka was a complete contrast.

To put it briefly, he was short and unimpressive.

Although he wore a black suit and had big muscles, he still had nothing to do with the concept of handsome.

However, against Gin's striking appearance, Vodka was more understated and fit more with the image of a killer.

If he took off his sunglasses and blended into the crowd, it would be a bit hard to distinguish him among the masses.

These two characters behaved very differently from how they did in the anime; they did not interfere in the investigation and cooperated with the police.

They stood very quietly, not saying a single extra word, patiently waiting for the police to finish their work.

Thinking about it, even if they were arrogant, they wouldn't dare to shout in front of the police, considering that their identities were not public at all.

When discretion was needed, they had to be discreet.

While watching Gin and Vodka, Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder: if Shinichi weren't present, would Gin take the initiative to step forward and play a guest role as a detective to solve this murder case?

Letting Gin solve the case?

If you think about it carefully, it wouldn't be an absurd possibility.

They had to make another transaction later and couldn't be here with the police all the time.

If the time came and the police hadn't discovered anything, they might be forced to intervene and solve the case themselves.

For a murderer, standing out isn't a very smart decision, but in such a situation, when things reach that point, he would have no other choice.

As for whether Gin could solve the case, Lin Yi believed there wouldn't be any problems.

After all, Gin was a professional assassin with experience in murder methods—not just one or two, but dozens.

Moreover, the wound on the deceased's neck was made with such precision and gentleness that any ordinary detective would know how it was done, and with Gin's vast experience in murders, it was impossible for him not to know.

Ah...

He didn't know why, but the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to know the answer.

Now he wanted to find Kudo Shinichi, slap him to make him faint, and let Gin solve the case.

That image would be wonderful.

But that thought could only stay in his imagination.

Lin Yi diverted his attention to other parts of the scene, not seeing Shinichi.

He was probably looking for clues.

Then he looked at Ran, who, having seen the decapitated corpse, had a very pale face.

Looking at her, one person stood alone to the side, helpless, weak, and defenseless.

Although Lin Yi wasn't a parasite in Ran's stomach, he now understood that in Ran's heart, Shinichi had already been sentenced to death.

That guy, with all that had happened, instead of staying to comfort Ran, left her alone while he looked for clues on his own.

Does he think Ran is resilient enough, or does he believe that the police can't find clues and only he can solve the case?

Seeing Ran in her state of despair, Lin Yi felt a wave of compassion and genuinely wanted to go comfort her at that moment.

But as soon as that thought arose, Lin Yi suppressed it.

No!

I can't do that!

If I do that, all the effort from yesterday and today will have been in vain.

To control his emotions, Lin Yi decided to focus his attention on the case.

The murder case on the roller coaster is a memorable one.

What impressed me the most was its method of killing. In the first episode, there was such a bloody scene that caught the audience's attention.
