Chapter 220 The murderer surrenders
Conan turned his head sharply and stared at Lisa, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity. He was eager to know what key clues Lisa had found and why she was able to identify the murderer so quickly.
At the same time, he had an ominous premonition. Could it be that Lisa's method of solving cases was similar to that of Sister Xia Xi?
Before Inspector Megure could ask, Lisa pointed her finger at the guest in Box 2, Honma Kyota, without hesitation, and said bluntly: "Mr. Honma, you killed that man."
As she spoke, she also signaled with her eyes the cold corpse lying not far away.
Mr. Kyota Honma was extremely dissatisfied with this sudden accusation and he raised his voice to firmly deny it.
Officer Megure looked at Lisa expectantly and asked, "Yes, Miss Lisa, since you assert that Mr. Honma is the murderer, have you found conclusive evidence?"
Facing everyone's gaze, Lisa calmly lifted a strand of hair and denied it very straightforwardly: "Evidence? Sorry, I didn't find any evidence."
Conan was looking at Lisa with full expectation, hoping that she could give a convincing answer, but when he heard this unexpected response, his body involuntarily tilted.
At the same time, Honma Kyouta, who had just been accused by Lisa, suddenly became even angrier, "How can you just say that I'm the murderer when you don't have any evidence?!"
His eyes were full of dissatisfaction and anger, and he was obviously very annoyed by Lisa's accusations.
However, Lisa didn't seem to care about Kyouta Honma's reaction. She turned to look at Officer Megure and said, "I don't have any evidence, but I didn't say that casually."
Lisa's tone was firm and confident, as if she had her own unique criteria and basis for judgment.
Before Honma Kyota could refute, Lisa stated the reason why she thought the other party was the murderer: "Speaking of which, it was these photos that gave me inspiration. This victim had been following us before. No, judging from these photos, the other party's target was actually Miss Sonoko. Combined with Miss Sonoko's identity, the other party's purpose is obvious - he intends to kidnap Miss Sonoko and demand a ransom."
"And looking at the ropes and other things in his bag, he was so well prepared. This doesn't look like his first time committing a crime. So, it's obvious that he must be a repeat offender. At least this is definitely not his first time."
At this point, Lisa crossed her arms, slowly walked to Honma Kyouta, looked into his eyes, and asked slowly: "Then the question is, do you think the murderer's killing of this person is related to the crimes he committed before?"
Lisa's eyes were full of inquiry and questioning, which made people feel a little pressured.
Honma Kyouta's face turned pale, and his forehead was slightly sweaty, but he still pretended to be calm and answered: "How should I know this? You should ask the murderer this question."
"So, you insist that you didn't kill this person?" Lisa slightly emphasized her tone and confirmed with Kyota Honma.
Honma Kyota sneered, crossed his arms over his chest, and replied: "Of course, these are just your one-sided words. I don't even know this person. And you just said that you have no evidence."
At this moment, Kyota Honma has calmed down a little and is no longer as nervous as he was when he suddenly heard Lisa's reason for murder.
However, Kyota Honma didn't know that in just these few minutes, his fleeting look of nervousness had already been seen by Conan and Inspector Megure.
Conan in particular keenly noticed Kyota Honma's abnormal reaction when facing Lisa, and deduced that Lisa was not wrong.
Therefore, this man is most likely the real murderer.
But how did Lisa know this? There was no prerequisite from the beginning to the end, and Conan was a little confused now.
As Kyota Homma said, there is currently a lack of solid evidence to prove his guilt.
Lisa had no intention of starting from this aspect. After all, with such limited time, it was not enough for her to find any key clues.
She just turned and walked to Kyouta Honma, motioning him to look at the victim lying on the ground: "Since you said you don't know him, as long as you say a word to the victim, I will believe that you really have no relationship with the victim."
"What?"
"Just say to him: 'You are a good person.' How about that? That should be easy."
Lisa's voice was gentle, but to Kyouta Honma's ears it sounded like a witch pouring deadly poison into his mouth, causing his heart to ache suddenly.
Everyone around was watching quietly, patiently waiting for Kyouta Honma's reaction.
Indeed, it was just a word.
But looking at the disgusting face on the ground, Kyota Honma swallowed his saliva and couldn't say the words "you are a good person" to that face.
At this time, Lisa sighed and interrupted the silent atmosphere at the scene: "Mr. Honma, you have already taken revenge, but this cannot change what has happened. Turn yourself in, this is your only way out."
Honma Kyota looked at the body on the ground, his heart filled with hatred. It was this man who brutally killed his son, that young and innocent life.
Lisa was right. His revenge was successful and he felt the long-lost joy and satisfaction, but what followed was a sense of loss, as if he had lost more.
At this moment, he stared at the kidnapper's body, and endless sadness and regret surged in his heart. He realized that even if he took revenge, he could not save his son's life.
Now, it's time for him to pay the price, maybe this will make him feel better.
"I understand..." Kyota Honma stammered a few times, as if he had figured something out, and finally spoke out the method and reason for killing the victims, his voice a little hoarse and helpless.
The case was solved successfully. Although it felt a bit anticlimactic, Inspector Megure and his team were still very happy that they caught the criminal without too much effort.
Only Conan standing by was stunned.
No, why? Lisa just said a few words, why did the criminal surrender?
And how did Lisa identify the criminal so quickly?
Conan was really curious, so he ran straight to Lisa and asked her this question.
At this time, the police had not left yet, including Kyota Honma himself. Upon hearing this, they all looked at Lisa. It was obvious that they also wanted to know the question.
