With Miwako Sato presenting the situation and introducing the relevant individuals, he began to remember the story behind the homicide case.
It's a story that, after reading it, leaves people with a sense of well-being.
The vocalist, Tatsuya Kimura, is also a total tsundere; he clearly likes the manager, Mari Terahara, but refuses to admit it.
Since he doesn't like that Mari Terahara underwent plastic surgery for him, he always speaks to her cruelly and says hurtful things.
Mari Terahara, unable to bear the person she likes speaking to her so unpleasantly, in a fit of anger, poisoned him.
Honestly, Lin Yi couldn't understand Tatsuya Kimura's actions; he even suspected if the other's head was filled with water.
She underwent plastic surgery for him, becoming more beautiful.
From the logic of a normal person, this is something to be happy about.
But he, on the other hand, belongs to the category of abnormal people.
Not only was he not happy, but he didn't even tell her.
No one knows what went through his mind, but he thought that if he spoke cruelly, Mari Terahara would understand what he really felt.
Truly absurd reasoning.
Regarding this outcome, Lin Yi felt quite satisfied.
It's a shame that Conan is so idle that he has nothing to do, so he has to clear Tatsuya Kimura's name.
The person is already dead; what's the point of clearing his name?
Apart from causing great pain to Mari Terahara, it's of no use.

"That's how things are."
After explaining the situation clearly, Miwako Sato paused and looked at Lin Yi, asking, "What do you think? Do you have any ideas?"
"I have many ideas."
Lin Yi was still thinking about finishing the homicide case quickly and then seeing if he could trick Ran and Sonoko into going to the hotel to rest.
"Like what?" Miwako Sato asked expectantly.
"The ashtray."
Lin Yi approached the table, looked at the ashtray, and asked the man named Katsumi Yamada: "Did you smoke all these cigarettes by yourself?"
"No, I..."
Katsumi Yamada shook his head and said, "Tatsuya and I smoked the cigarettes."
"What about the lighter? Did you two share it?"
"No... each of us had our own lighter."
Katsumi Yamada looked at Lin Yi with some confusion: "Why are you asking these questions?"
Lin Yi didn't pay attention to him and turned to Miwako Sato: "Did you find the deceased's lighter at the crime scene?"
Miwako Sato opened the police manual, looked at the listed items, and shook her head: "No."
"Then it's simple."
Lin Yi glanced at the four suspects and said, "Whoever has the deceased's lighter is the murderer."
Hearing this, the people around looked at the suspects.
"But... kid."
Suddenly, Wataru Takagi appeared with a confused expression: "Why do you say that whoever has the deceased's lighter is the murderer?"
Lin Yi ignored him. He looked at Miwako Sato, who was also looking at him with a doubtful face, waiting for an explanation.
Lin Yi sighed, missing Inspector Megure, who didn't ask many questions and just acted on what he was told. With decisive evidence, the culprit would automatically confess.
Lin Yi had to explain: "The deceased was poisoned, so..."
"Eh? How are you sure the deceased was poisoned?"
Wataru Takagi checked the police manual; the cause of death hadn't been determined by the coroner yet.
"How am I sure?" Lin Yi looked at Wataru Takagi with exasperation: "Tell me, how can a healthy person suddenly die without any injuries? If they weren't poisoned, then how?"
"Well..." Wataru Takagi was perplexed. It was true.
He saw Miwako Sato smiling.
Being ridiculed by his goddess made him feel greatly embarrassed, starting to resent Lin Yi for making him look bad in front of her.
"Continue," Miwako Sato said, looking at Lin Yi intently.
"The deceased was poisoned, so where did the poison come from?"
Lin Yi didn't want to explain other possible clues, so he decided to lead the conversation himself, pretending to take an onigiri to his mouth.
"The hand," Miwako Sato answered, like a fish biting the hook Lin Yi had thrown.
"Yes, the hand."
Lin Yi continued: "And what did they touch with their hand before?"
"The microphone!"
This time, Wataru Takagi answered quickly.
"If it was the microphone, the others would have been poisoned too," Lin Yi pointed out.
The other three who had sung nodded their heads.
Wataru Takagi felt frustrated at being wrong every time he answered.
Seeing that Miwako Sato couldn't answer, Lin Yi turned to the members: "When the deceased was singing, did he make a gesture of taking off his clothes?"
"Yes," Katsumi Yamada nodded: "It's a gesture Tatsuya made when he got excited while singing."
At this point, Lin Yi looked at Miwako Sato, as if asking if he should continue.
Fortunately, Miwako Sato, being so young and already an assistant inspector, had certain skills.
She finally understood what Lin Yi was trying to say: "So the murderer poisoned the deceased's uniform, and after the murder, exchanged his own uniform with the deceased's."
"But the murderer didn't count on... there being a lighter inside the deceased's uniform..."
As she said this, Miwako Sato noticed that Mari Terahara looked extremely uncomfortable.
She immediately suspected her and said, "Miss Terahara, may I check your uniform?"
"It's not necessary..."
Mari Terahara stopped resisting. She reached into her pocket and took out a lighter: "I did it..."
Miwako Sato signaled, and some officers approached to arrest her.
Lin Yi turned to Miwako Sato: "The case is solved. Can we leave?"
"Of course," Miwako Sato nodded: "But can you tell me why you solved the case so quickly?"
Why? Because he already knew the answer.
If it weren't for needing to explain the method of the murder and the evidence, he would have just given the name and left.
Lin Yi pretended to be perplexed and said, "Yes... how did I know? How curious... Well, Officer Sato, we have things to do, let's go."
Lin Yi turned around and discovered that Ran and Sonoko were quietly running away.
