Transmigrated to the world of Detective Conan.

Chapter 22: Chapter 22



When this family scene unfolded before Lin Yi, he knew that something was about to happen.

Lin Yi was surprised. He looked at Shinichi Kudo beside him and thought, Has this guy not returned to his childhood yet? How has he already triggered the murder at the art museum?

But after thinking it over, what did it matter?

Whether it's Shinichi Kudo or Conan Edogawa, it doesn't affect his grand plan at all.

As for why the murder happened earlier than expected, Lin Yi thought it was probably due to his own presence.

But none of this was a big deal. As long as Ran and the other girls didn't turn into men, any change in events was irrelevant.

"I know where the armor is!"

Ran returned excitedly and pointed towards the exhibition hall, saying, "The staff said that medieval armor is right there. Let's go!"

Having said that, Ran took Sonoko's hand and walked towards the exhibition hall.

However, after taking a few steps, Ran noticed that the two men weren't following her. Ran, who had always been afraid of haunted houses, stopped and looked back, asking, "Why aren't you coming?"

"Where could there possibly be any moving armor here?" Shinichi said disdainfully, clearly unenthused. "It's surely just a tactic by the museum to attract customers."

Lin Yi also set aside his thoughts and walked towards the exhibition hall.

Lin Yi had seen the murder case at the museum many times. He knew all the details of the case perfectly.

Honestly, he felt some sympathy for owner Manaka. Although the museum's purchase was done through some tricks, business competition is fierce, and traps are common; comparatively, it's not a big deal.

On the contrary, what he really couldn't understand was Director Ouchi's reasoning.

After pleading guilty, Director Ouchi tried to justify himself by saying that he considered the museum to be his own child and wouldn't allow selfish people to tarnish this sacred place.

The problem was that the museum wasn't really his, but belonged to the former owner. He was just an employee. What did it matter to him?

"If Mr. Manaka is really selfish, isn't he selfish himself? Just because he didn't want the museum to turn into a restaurant, he decided to kill the owner right there in the museum."

Had he ever considered how Mr. Manaka's family would feel?

A husband (a father) went out to discuss a business deal, had no debts, committed no crimes, and suddenly was killed for no reason.

And what about the former owner of the museum?

The contract still had ten days left before it expired. If you kill the new owner, who will the former owner claim the pending money from? Perhaps the contract could even be voided.

What about the museum employees?

Working as a waiter in a restaurant definitely pays more than working in an empty museum. They were also hoping for a raise, but you killed the owner.

Lin Yi wasn't against Director Ouchi; he was just bothered by his double standards.

Doing business legally is seen as selfishness and evil to him, and he believes he deserves divine punishment.

Out of his own selfish interests, he killed someone and still pretends to be protecting the museum from being tarnished.

It's the very definition of double standards.

While thinking about this, Lin Yi arrived at the exhibition hall with the group.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ran and Sonoko standing stiffly.

So Lin Yi got excited in his mind and began to count: three… two… one… scream!

"Ahhhh!"

Ran and Sonoko immediately hugged each other, closed their eyes, and screamed desperately, at a deafening volume.

Shinichi, as if he had received some kind of signal, stopped looking so carefree and quickly dashed towards Ran and Sonoko. Seeing the scene before him, his face sank: a knight's sword was embedded in the wall, piercing owner Manaka, with blood splattered on the walls and everywhere. The scene was extremely brutal.

Soon, nearby staff rushed over upon hearing the screams and also saw the scene, which made their faces pale immediately.

Shinichi, regaining his composure, said, "Ran, Sonoko! Don't let anyone approach the crime scene!"

Thanks to the "death buff" effect that Shinichi always carried with him, Ran and Sonoko, who had already seen more corpses than most police officers, quickly recovered from their panic and nodded at Shinichi, indicating that they had heard his instructions.

Shinichi took out his phone and called the police. Looking at Lin Yi, he noticed that the transferred student wasn't moving, apparently paralyzed by the brutal scene.

This made him feel very good. Soon it will be my time to shine! Watch closely how to catch a murderer!

Shinichi was determined to regain the lost pride he felt in the museum lobby, no matter what!

"Lin, don't just stand there."

Although Shinichi didn't sympathize with Lin Yi, he politely warned him, "Help keep the crime scene secure and don't let anyone in to destroy the scene!"

"Oh..."

Lin Yi came to his senses and, after looking again at the familiar crime scene with a sigh, left.

He was reflecting on the fact that he was witnessing owner Manaka's death in person, which had distracted him.

"Seeing a corpse for the first time, Lin Yi didn't feel uncomfortable. Besides, the death scene wasn't that disgusting; the body wasn't dismembered and the entrails weren't scattered."
