Conan's organization will end sooner or later without me

Chapter 276 Huiyuan Ai: I am Grace Ahara

"Staff of Anran Nursing Home?" A trace of surprise flashed across Amuro's gray-blue eyes, and he immediately reacted, "Are you a witness?"

"Yes." Naoko Sawada adjusted her hair by her ears and did not deny it. "In fact, when the case first happened, I suspected Yin Jiu, but the evidence chain was not comprehensive at the time. It was not until I saw this photo that I was completely sure that he was the one who committed the crime."

As she spoke, she used the remote control to turn on the projector, and the video footage in the interrogation room immediately appeared in front of them.

"You may not have noticed that Yin Jiu's attention was distracted subconsciously during the interrogation. It was always in very unreasonable circumstances. For example, when his age was mentioned and he explained that he did not lie about his age, Yin Jiu's eyes suddenly became distracted for a while."

"For example, here, when he first got the photo. The three big characters 'Tenkaichi' were clearly on the photo, but he looked at it carefully several times before slowly admitting that it was an activity of the 'Tenkaichi' festival. Shouldn't he be able to recall this kind of thing as soon as he thinks about it?"

Following Sawada Naoko's analysis, the eyes of the people around her became solemn, and Conan and his companions also lowered their heads in silence and thought.

"Perhaps you have never seen Yin Jiu's previous appearance. During his treatment at the Anran Sanatorium, his personality was completely different from what he shows now. So I suspect that his condition did not improve after leaving the sanatorium, but became more out of control. It is even possible that what he is showing now is all his deliberate disguise of imitating a normal person."

The final conclusion made everyone gasp.

Officer Megure took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, struggling heartlessly, "But Doctor Sawada, this can only prove that Yin Jiu is a mental patient, but it cannot be confirmed that he is the murderer."

"That's true." Naoko Sawada adjusted her hair by her ears again. "This is what I want to emphasize. Although our speculations can prove that Yin Jiu can be a qualified criminal, they cannot be used as a basis for judging whether he has committed a crime. And judging from the size of his pupils after he got the photos and saw the victims being circled, maybe he really didn't know about it."

Seeing that everyone around him was relieved, Naoko Sawada nodded with satisfaction, "But being unconscious doesn't mean that one won't commit crimes. Schizophrenia is often accompanied by a variety of pathological manifestations such as auditory and visual hallucinations. It is not ruled out that Yin Jiu did these things unconsciously."

Can this guy finish his sentence?

The heart that had just been put at ease was hung up again, beating wildly in the chest. Many people have touched their left chest to comfort this little heart that is about to be broken.

In the end, it was Officer Mume who reacted first, "So what should we do next?"

"I think we should isolate Yin Jiu first, so that I can observe his condition closely," Naoko Sawada held the pen and poked the person in the photo on the blackboard with the pen cap. "After all, as doctors, we have had contact for a long time. If I touch and stimulate him, maybe this child can remember something."

"No! You are illegally detaining me!" This time it was Toru Amuro who spoke first.

The roe deer in his house clearly did nothing!

What do you mean by isolating Yin Jiu? !

What does it mean to touch and stimulate? !

How could they treat Yin Jiu like this!

Toru Amuro disagrees, and neither does Officer Kurome.

Just kidding, when Yin Jiu vomited blood and fainted, he almost committed suicide to apologize. If Yin Jiu hadn't spoken up for him personally as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, Officer Mumu would have resigned and committed suicide long ago.

The reason he called Yin Jiu over for questioning was because of the police uniform. How could he possibly watch Yin Jiu get into trouble in front of him?

"It's really against the rules to do this. I think our focus should be on finding other potential victims first."

"I hope it won't come to this unless it's absolutely necessary." Naoko Sawada also nodded. She uncapped the pen, turned the photo over, and listed the plan on it. "But now we have no clues about other potential victims, so we only have three options left. Either stimulate Yin Jiu to stimulate his original personality and memory, or bring the person to the survivor to let him identify him, or immediately find the real culprit of this case."

"Obviously, we hope for the last scenario, but Yin Jiu is a dangerous person right now. If we continue to let him run around, there might be new victims."

"...Also, I have to tell you a secret. This is something that only the trusted staff of An Ran Nursing Home may know. It's not like Yin Jiu has never killed someone by mistake because of his illness. Many of you may have heard of this person's name. You can even find her image on the Internet. It's just that she suddenly disappeared one year."

"Could it be that..."

"Yes, she is the Eurasian child star, Grace Ahara, who is just like Yin Jiu."

A familiar yet unfamiliar name was spoken by Naoko Sawada. Except for Professor Agasa and Conan, whose faces turned ugly instantly, everyone else showed an incredible and confused expression.

"What? Don't you believe it?" Naoko Sawada noticed that her colleague was in an abnormal mood, and then she subconsciously followed the gaze of Officer Kureme, "No... This is impossible!"

"I'm not dead. I'm Grace Ahara." Huihara Ai's tender childish voice rang out in the eerie silence. Facing Conan's incredulous gaze, she slowly walked step by step to stand in front of Sawada Naoko. "You said I was dead and that my brother killed me? Do you have evidence? I'm standing here, alive and well, and all your doubts will be shattered."

"Oh, then do you remember what your brother said when he first took you to the Anran Sanatorium?" Naoko Sawada was distracted for only a moment and immediately calmed down.

Seeing the little girl looking at her quietly without saying anything, Sawada Naoko raised her lips and said, "You probably don't remember, right? Back then, Yin Shuli's laboratory took on a large number of CIA research projects on brain control technology, which included memory modification."

"I think you probably met Yin Jiu when you were in a state of amnesia? I said Yin Jiu was an extremely smart child. He perfectly inherited Yin Shuli's scientific research talent. Such a child is obviously very good at committing crimes and will not leave overly obvious evidence."

"So what?" Haibara Ai put her hands in her pockets and clenched them tightly.

Huibara Ai knew very well whether she had lost her memory or not. This woman's words from the very beginning were full of hostility towards Yin Jiu, as if she was forcing everyone to think that Yin Jiu was a murderer. There must be some ulterior motive. She could not hand Yin Jiu over to this person.

"Have you ever doubted that you are not actually Grace Ahara? Maybe it's just that you look alike, so Yin Jiu took advantage of you..."

"That's enough." Amuro Toru couldn't help but interrupt Sawada Naoko, "I don't know what kind of feud you had with Yin Shuli at Anran Nursing Home, but I hope you won't involve the children in matters between adults. You keep trying to cover up your lies. Do you really think all of us are fools?"

The police officers on the scene immediately realized that what Amuro Toru said actually made sense, but something was not right when Naoko Sawada said that Yin Jiu killed Grace Ahara.

Never mind that Grace Ahara was alive and well here.

Greg Ahara himself stepped forward to correct Sawada's mistake, but Naoko Sawada immediately found fault and asked about some details that were difficult for people to recall, and even made up a story that Grace Ahara was not herself.

If you think about it carefully, such behavior seems like they are deliberately trying to pin Yin Jiu's identity as a murderer. It could be explained as being eager for quick success and worrying that the suspect would commit crimes again.

But now that Amuro revealed something, everyone immediately had other ideas, and their eyes towards Naoko Sawada became unpleasant.
