58. Regret

The killing method in this case is very simple, which is to kill a person with a heavy blow. The weapon is a stick about thirty centimeters long.

But the police searched in the shrine for a long time but could not find the weapon.

Of course, the weapon is not on anyone's body. To be precise, it is a special weapon that needs to be connected - the copper plates in the incense money box.

The reason why Duan Ye Laiko gave in to Mi and the others to shake the bell hard and make a loud noise was to conceal the sound of throwing a large number of five-yuan copper plates when dismantling the weapon.

That is to untie the knot that strung the five-yuan copper plate, take the money string and the other end of the rope to turn to the money box, and it can be completed instantly with the sound of the bell.

Chen Xing noticed her behavior at that time. Although she felt something was abnormal, she didn't know that someone was killed at that time and didn't think about it at all.

After seeing the crime scene and listening to Conan's speculation, he thought of this.

The one Duan Ye Laiko used to string together five-yuan copper plates is the shoelaces on her feet, so she could not leave the scene quickly. Because if one shoe lacks shoelaces, using a normal walking method will undoubtedly cause the shoes to fall off, which is very inconvenient.

As for the blood on the shoelaces, they were splashed on when they killed the victim.

"Why do you want to know?" Duan Ye Laizi had calmed down. She had no intention of escaping and was still standing there.

"There is a big head sticker in your wallet." Chen Xing said.

"That's a photo of me and my son." Duan Ye Laiko's tone trembled as she spoke.

Chen Xing saw her reaction, which had confirmed his guess, and this was why he would come here first.

"Because of my son." Duan Ye Laiko whispered.

Her voice was soft, but she still couldn't hide her hatred. Under her account, Chen Xing also knew that the killed Black Soldier took away Duan Ye Laiko's wallet last year. This time, the three blackened five-yuan copper plates she placed next to the other party's corpse were placed in the wallet at that time.

"The key to the car was also placed in the wallet stolen by that pickpocket." Duan Ye Laizi lowered his head and choked up, "Without the key to the car, my breathless son was locked in the car for several hours. In the end, because of delays in seeking medical treatment, he was too busy to make a comeback."

Chen Xing wanted to say something, such as comforting words, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

After recognizing that the woman who was sticking to the big head was the person in front of him and having learned about the case, he wanted to know why the other party clearly used his wallet as bait, and when he knew that the wallet would definitely be discarded, he left the photo inside.

At that time, Chen Xing had already guessed something, but he didn't expect that the facts were indeed so sad.

"I have been investigating the matter of the pickpocket online, and then guarding the place where she might be there." Duan Ye Laiko said: "If you open your wallet to get the money, even if you are reluctant, you will see the big-headed post.

I just wanted her to see it on purpose and tell the pickpocket that you stolen not only money and property, but also the life of a little boy, do you know!"

Her voice was so sad, and the mother's tolerance and determination to avenge her children, and the bell in front of the shrine gate sounded slightly in the evening breeze, as if the gods were listening.

But if there is really a god in the world, why doesn’t He protect those who worship sincerely, and instead let sin happen under his eyes?

Duan Ye Laizi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and reached in front of him with both hands.

Chen Xing shook his head, "I'm not a policeman."

Duan Ye Laizi was stunned, "Then you..."

Chen Xing said: "There should be incense and candles in the shrine."

Duan Ye Laizi's eyes widened, and of course she understood what he meant. She could deal with the shoelaces with incense and candles. Even if she was suspected, she could not be convicted without critical evidence.

But why should I help her?

Duan Ye Laizi was puzzled and asked.

I looked up, the cherry blossoms drifted, and the sunset fell on the branches.

Why? Perhaps it is the unbearable feeling that a mother is willing to be covered in blood for her child after learning the truth.

More than ten years have passed, and he is almost forgetting his mother's appearance. He only remembers that she used to love to laugh, but later she is always depressed and never smiles again. She is also good at dressing up, but she can't see it since she left the clan.

She looks very good, but has many shortcomings. Even now, Chen Xing can still say a few. But even so, he still hopes that the other party will be alive, tell her his kendo practice, and see her when she smiles. Or, if possible, there will be a photo of the two of them.

Instead of like now, the other party's past was burned to death on that rainy night, leaving nothing but himself.

...

Duan Ye Laizi finally chose to surrender.

The moment before Cecium was about to leave the shrine, she saw her take the initiative to find the police, and then clearly told the whole story of the crime in a surprised expression of Conan, Officer Meguro and others.

"You can ask, why did you suddenly come from the head?" Takagi Shiro couldn't help asking everyone's doubts, "I mean, we actually wanted to come over to you before, but we just suspected that the murderer was among the three of you, but there was no conclusive evidence yet."

Faced with the curiosity of everyone, Duan Ye Laizi just shook her head. She smiled and watched the dusk approach without saying a word.

"Strange." Looking at her back taken away by the police, Conan held her chin with a deep thought.

"What's wrong?" Judy asked.

"I still can't figure out why she suddenly came from the head." Conan said.

"Maybe it was a sudden awakening, or when he heard the police want to find her to find out the case, he guessed that he could not hide it. It was like a shoelace stained with blood. Even if it was dealt with, it would make people suspicious, right?" Judy shrugged, "It is not uncommon to surrender."

Conan shook his head, obviously still caring.

On the other side, Haibara Ai sometimes glances at Chen Xing and looks thoughtful.

"Are you thinking about our height difference?" Chen Xing smiled.

“…” Haibara Ai.

She immediately thought of nothing, turned her head and sulked.

Seeing the police leave, Chen Xing smiled and did not feel frustrated because of Duan Ye Laiko's surrender, or blamed the other party for not appreciating.

Everyone has the right to make a choice, just like she reveals the truth in front of her, and she does not mention herself to the police in the end.

But occasionally, I feel a pity.

"Uncle, do you have bad eyesight?" At this time, Conan walked to Kirihiro Benzaki and asked with his head raised.

"Why do you ask this?"

"Because the pickpocket aunt was shocked when she saw her uncle's face. I think it must be because she recognized uncle, you were the object of her pickpocketed not long ago."
