Chapter 11 Lin Xinyi's Intention(2/2)

Kudo Shinichi showed a relaxed smile:

"You really didn't notice it at all, Xiaolan."

"Stop showing off!" Xiaolan clenched her fists in shame.

"Ahem... Do you still remember the conversation we had before we found the body?"

Kudo Shinichi cleared his throat and finally revealed the answer:

"Why is Mr. Lin wearing a black suit coming to the park so early in the morning?"

"Also, why are his trouser legs and shoes wet?"

"Eh...right..."

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the problem was not simple.

Because his trouser legs and shoes were wet with water, Lin Xinyi was initially suspected as a criminal suspect.

But now it turns out that he was not the murderer and did not dump the body at all. So how could he get his trouser legs wet when he was so good?

"When I found the mutilated body, I immediately suspected that Mr. Lin was the murderer."

"And he rushed to the scene immediately after we found the body to watch, which made me more suspicious of him."

"But actually, before this case happened..."

"I actually have another guess as to why Mr. Lin wet his trouser legs."

Kudou Shin paused and gave Xiaolan a brief moment to think.

Seeing that Xiaolan still didn't guess the answer, he continued to remind:

"You know, we also smelled a strong smell of smoke from Mr. Lin."

"At that time, he was still sorting the things in his pocket, and I saw an empty cigarette box in his pocket."

"There are various signs that he has smoked a lot of cigarettes recently, but his fingers are very clean - people who often smoke a lot will leave obvious burnt yellow marks between the index finger and middle finger."

"At the same time, I also noticed the mobile phone he was holding:"

"There is a lot of dirt in the gaps between the keyboard of his mobile phone. This is a sign that the owner has sloppy living habits, does not like to take care of personal hygiene, and is unkempt."

"But if you look at today, the suit he is wearing has been meticulously tidied up. The collar and cuffs are not messy at all, and his hair and face are also clean."

Kudo Shinichi has almost given the answer:

"Why would a person who doesn't usually smoke smoke suddenly smoke so much?"

"Why would a person who is usually unkempt suddenly clean himself up so neatly?"

"Is this...could it be?"

Xiaolan covered her mouth in surprise.

She thought of a terrible guess.

"That's right."

Looking at the direction where Lin Xinyi disappeared, Kudo Shinichi sighed softly:

"Mr. Lin Xinyi is the same as the dead lady."

"He went to commit suicide."

.................................................................

Leaving the Metropolitan Police Department alone, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but recall his experience when he first arrived here, thinking of Kudo Shinichi's worried eyes just now:

When he crossed over in the morning, he opened his eyes and found that he was standing in the cold river water in a daze.

Soon, Lin Xinyi vaguely realized the purpose of the original owner's appearance here, so he quickly went ashore to find a park bench to sit down, and began to look for clues from his body that could help him further understand "himself".

Then, there was his chance encounter with Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan.

"That famous detective is also quite interesting."

Recalling the experience at that time, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but smile:

"He was pestering me and asking questions. He actually wanted to confirm my mental state and prevent me from committing suicide by jumping into the river again, right?"

"Oh, what a nice guy..."

"As you said, I hope we have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

Lin Xin thought for a while and added another premise in his mind:
Chapter completed!
