Although Otani's tragic life is sympathetic, it has no substantial help to the current case. The same also did not have any substantial help for the Mulberry Island Police Department. Therefore, Lin Xiuyi immediately handed over his case to the police station that received the report of the wounding case to be responsible for the follow-up after confirming that Daguzhi's intentional wounding did not cause any substantial harm to the victim. .

Although Otani's case made Lin Xiu go around in a big circle and returned to the starting point, it could not be said that there was no discovery at all. At least Lin Shuyi discovered a side that Tomomi Yano didn't recognize. So now he has to face a new doubt. That's why Tomomi Yano is going to steal things.

Lin Xiuyi had already visited Mrs. Yano twice. According to his observation, even if the Yano family is not rich and noble, it is absolutely impossible for Yano Tomomi to be reduced to the point where she needs to steal. The price of a bottle of this mascara is only 2,000 yen. Lin Xiuyi believed that Tomomi Yano would not be short of pocket money. But why did she choose to steal this way to get this bottle of mascara?

Kleptomania? But why did Tomomi Yano not show such a character in the past ten years? Could it be that her teachers or parents were kept in the dark by this little girl. In addition, Yano Tomomi's method of framing Otani Tomomi also made Lin Shuyi feel very concerned. This kind of method is not something that can be thought of at the time of the situation. Although Otani is not shrewd enough, if he wants to bite Otani, Yano Tomomi also has to have a strong psychological quality.

Until this time, Lin Xiuyi discovered that his understanding of Yano Tomomi had just begun. This girl is full of contradictions, and the photo of her bedroom is both innocent and mature. And when she was in a good family, she would even take risks to steal things. In addition, this girl can be easily coaxed to run away from home by criminal suspects, but she also knows how to use her own advantages to bite Otani Zhi when the theft is caught on the spot.

When these supposedly opposing character traits were concentrated on one girl at the same time, Lin Xiuyi was a little confused about which side was the real Yano Tomomi? The Yano Tomomi described in the words of Yusaka-sensei and the Yano Tomomi that Lin Shuichi learned from Shimizu Soichiro are completely different personalities. Is Yano Tomomi a split personality?

"Miki, do you say that when Tomomi Yano was discovered by Tomomi Otani, was it the first time she committed theft?" Lin Xiuyi put his entire body weight on the back of the office chair. At the same time, he was playing with the pen in his hand while thinking, but suddenly asked Miki about her opinion on Tomomi Yano.

"Police, are you asking my opinion? Yano Tomomi was able to remain so calm even when she was arrested on the spot. It is obvious that she is quite confident in her modus operandi..."

Miki answered Lin Xiuyi without hesitation.

"Yeah, it really doesn't look like a crappy novice. However, we don't seem to have seen that Yano Tomomi had a history of theft. What's going on?"

As Lin Xiu said that, he put the pen back in his pocket. The answer already seems obvious.

"I think, maybe when Tomomi Yano committed theft, she was not alone!"

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, Miki asked back in surprise:

"You mean, this is a conspiracy to commit a crime?"

"Yes, this is the answer I came up with! Yano Tomomi is just a teenage girl, no matter how many times she has succeeded in the past, her calmness in the face of being stolen and captured is still too sophisticated. . This is not the level of crime that a teenage girl should have. Even in those criminals who make theft as a profession, it is rare to see the calm mentality of Yano Tomomi. But if it is a conspiracy to commit a crime If so, all this seems to make sense. The criminal habitual skills shown by Yano Tomomi did not come from herself, but from the criminal experience of her accomplices! And the reason why she was able to calmly deal with the unexpected situation at that time is very likely It's because the person who instructed her to commit the crime was there..."

In the case of returning to the original point, Lin Xiuyi quickly put forward new assumptions about the case that he thought was reasonable. In fact, deriving a case is a process of getting the starting point from the result. In this process, almost every critical link starts with a hypothesis. It is Lin Xiuyi's consistent work habit to make bold assumptions and be careful to verify. If the derivation process of the case can proceed smoothly under certain assumptions, then no matter how absurd the assumption seems, the path it represents It must be far from the truth.

"Police, if Tomomi Yano was actually there when she was committing the crime, there was such a person who instructed her to commit the crime, do you think this person was the murderer who killed Tomomi Yano?"

Miki felt a little unbelievable about Lin Xiuyi's overturned conclusion, but Lin Xiuyi's explanation was reasonable to a certain extent, which meant that when the case was dragged back to a dead end, Lin Xiuyi was once again responsible for this. The case pointed out a new direction of detection.

"I don't know if it's the murderer~lightnovelpub.net~ But what I want to know is, if there really is such an experienced master thief, why would they choose this thousands of yen mascara to start with, Instead of the more valuable tobacco and alcohol products in the convenience store? In other words, is it really appropriate to go to the convenience store to steal mascara so much?”

After Lin Xiuyi thought for a while, he quickly raised another new doubt. Because considering the cost of crime, the value of a mascara is simply not worth the trouble to carry out gang crimes. Even if it is successful, the price of five mascaras is less than 10,000 yen, and who would buy such stolen stolen goods? Wait, in this case, the whereabouts of the loot seems to be easy to explain...

Lin Xiuyi suddenly thought of what Yokoi-sensei and Tomosaka-sensei had mentioned, Yano Tomomi, who was promoted to high school, suddenly became very popular, and he suddenly realized where the stolen goods were going.

Yes, if you give these things to your classmates, you will get more or less favor from your classmates. After all, Lin Xiuyi had never heard of that generous student being bullied at school.

"Miki, go to Morimura School and ask those former classmates of Yano Tomomi, and ask who has received something like mascara from Yano Tomomi."
