Next, Duanmu Huai found a wallet and lighter among other items in the clothes, and yes, based on the identification found inside, it was indeed the pitiful woman's missing teacher.
But the problem was... the timeline didn't match up!
According to the woman, her teacher had only been missing since last night, less than twenty-four hours ago. But based on the condition of the corpse, it had been at least twenty-four years.
So the most likely possibility was that someone had stripped off the teacher's clothes and put them on this corpse. The story must trace back to the woman's teacher who made a mistake and killed the victim many years ago. Then the victim's family, seeking revenge, hid in the train and set up this string of events...
Okay, that was a storyline out of Detective Conan.
Unfortunately, cultists were not interested in reasoning or science.
Neither was Conan's logic.
The only credible evidence was the entries in the diary found in the corpse's hand.
