According to Chen Anxia's observation, there were no other injuries on the deceased's body, and his or her clothing was not obviously disheveled.
This means that there was no sign of struggle or fighting before the deceased died.
In other words, the deceased was most likely killed by a single stab wound.
Only in this way will the deceased not struggle after falling to the ground.
If the deceased was indeed killed with a single stab wound, how did she manage to grab Yoko Okino's hair and remain in a completely prone position?
......
The mind works very quickly, so the time required for scene recall is also very short.
In the short half hour that Chen Anxia was waiting for the police to arrive, he had already replayed the scene in his mind hundreds of times.
Through these hundreds of replays of the scene, Chen Anxia finally grasped the truth that connected all the inconsistencies!
......

Because the luxury apartment where Yoko Okino lives is under the jurisdiction of Inspector Megure.
Therefore, this time the police team was once again led by Inspector Megure.
When Inspector Megure and his team arrived at the scene of the first murder, they were stunned by the impressive lineup before them.
Not only Inspector Megure, but all the police officers who arrived with him were also shocked and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"I can't believe my eyes, can I? It's actually my goddess, Yoko Okino!?"
"What's going on? Could this murder scene be Yoko Okino's house?"
"Wait, who is that person!?"
"My God, Chen Anxia, even Chen Anxia is here? What on earth is going on?"
"I've only ever heard of Chen Anxia, who's been hailed as the modern Sherlock Holmes. Now that I've finally met him in person, his temperament, his image, and his charm are truly extraordinary."
"I remember that Yoko Okino recently publicly stated that her ideal type is Chen Anxia. Do you think Chen Anxia might be here?"
"No way, Chen Anxia is only a high school student, only 17 years old. Is she already in a relationship?"
"Uncle Hechuan, you're really out of touch. These days, it's not just high school students dating, there are even middle school and elementary school students dating."
......
Amidst the whispers of his subordinates, Inspector Megure finally came to his senses.
Immediately, Inspector Megure, his face beaming with delight, took a few quick steps and headed off in one direction.
Kogoro Mouri was initially annoyed after hearing the police officers' comments, but when he saw Inspector Megure walking towards him, he immediately perked up and casually straightened his clothes.
Kogoro Mouri was once a policeman, and he worked under Inspector Megure, so he and Inspector Megure were old acquaintances.
Therefore, Kogoro Mouri naturally assumed that Inspector Megure came because of him.
In Kogoro Mouri's view, the fact that a police inspector from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department took the initiative to greet him would undoubtedly allow him to gain an advantage over Yoko Okino and make Yoko Okino think more highly of him.
In his heart, Kogoro Mouri was also very grateful to Inspector Megure, never expecting that Inspector Megure would give him so much face.
Seeing Inspector Megure standing before him, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but call out, "Inspector Megure..."
Before Kogoro Mouri could speak, Inspector Megure walked right past him as if he hadn't noticed him at all, heading towards the back of him.
Before Kogoro Mouri could even react, he heard Inspector Megure's delighted voice come from behind him, "Oh, isn't this Anxia? I never expected to see you here."
"As long as you're here, I believe this case will be resolved smoothly!"
Upon hearing this voice, Kogoro Mouri's expression immediately collapsed, and he felt somewhat devastated, never expecting that Inspector Megure wasn't after him.
Seeing this, Conan naturally knew what Kogoro Mouri was thinking, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, a helpless bitter smile on his face.
Although the path for Kogoro Mouri to become a famous detective is very slim, Conan will not give up.
The murder that occurred in Yoko Okino's apartment was just the right opportunity.
If he can solve the case as Kogoro Mouri, then by leveraging the fame of Yoko Okino and Anxia Chen, he can definitely increase Kogoro Mouri's own fame.
However, there is still one problem...
Thinking about it, Conan couldn't help but glance at Chen Anxia.
Conan knew that only by solving the case before Chen Anxia could he have a chance to use Kogoro Mouri's identity to solve the case.
Although Conan knew that if he asked, Chen Anxia would most likely give him the case.
But that's not what Conan wants, and his detective instincts won't allow him to do that.
At the same time, this is also a great opportunity to see if the gap between Yun Chen and Anxia has narrowed.
After making up his mind, Conan's expression turned serious, and he said softly, "Now we just have to wait for the forensic team to finish their investigation of the scene..."
The instant Conan finished speaking, Inspector Megure's incredulous exclamation rang out, "What? Anxia, you already know who the culprit is?"
Everyone was stunned after hearing Inspector Megure's exclamation.
Among them, Watson, Conan, and Kogoro Mouri looked at Chen Anxia with shocked and incredulous eyes.
Compared to Megure and his group who had just arrived, they were much clearer that Chen Anxia had only been at the crime scene for two or three minutes from beginning to end after arriving.
What can you do in two or three minutes?
For Watson, Conan, and Kogoro Mouri, two or three minutes wouldn't even be enough to complete a simple autopsy, let alone pay attention to the traces and clues at the scene.
And now, Chen Anxia is telling them that he already knows who the murderer is within these two or three minutes... This... This...
Even Watson, who knew Chen Anxia very well, was so shocked by Chen Anxia that his scalp tingled, and he felt that his understanding of Chen Anxia had been refreshed once again.
Not only Watson, but Conan was also so shocked that he got goosebumps all over and kept thinking about a question.
So how exactly did Chen Anxia do it?
'How did Anxia manage to do that? We arrived at the crime scene together, entered the crime scene together, and left the crime scene together...'
'Given these identical circumstances, why am I completely clueless about this murder case, while he already knows who the killer is?'
Unlike Watson and Conan, who were very familiar with Chen Anxia, Kogoro Mouri immediately questioned Chen Anxia after his initial shock.
Furthermore, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but voice his doubts, saying, "Kid, don't talk nonsense."
"You were only at the crime scene for two or three minutes from beginning to end. In such a short time, how did you figure out who the murderer was?"
After hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Inspector Megure and the police officers present learned the inside story of the matter and all showed expressions of shock and disbelief.
As police officers, they naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Kogoro Mouri's words.
Yoko Okino, Ran Mouri, and their manager, who hadn't noticed this before, realized it after Kogoro Mouri pointed it out, and looked at Chen Anxia with disbelief.
Under everyone's gaze, Chen Anxia's expression remained unchanged as he slowly said, "A person's limited perspective restricts their understanding."
"What you think is impossible is often not truly impossible; rather, your limited understanding restricts your perspective, preventing you from seeing the real world."
As he spoke, Chen Anxia turned to Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector Megure, wait a minute, have the forensic team help me appraise a few things."
"These items can directly prove my reasoning!"
......
Chapter 434 The Truth, a Shocking Deduction! (Please Subscribe!)
Megure Juzo was a very decisive person; he directly ordered the forensic team to verify the items that Chen Anxia had mentioned.
Meanwhile, Inspector Megure led the police into the crime scene and began to investigate.
After the police finished collecting evidence, Chen Anxia, Kogoro Mouri, Conan, Watson, and others were allowed to enter the crime scene.
Because forensic examinations take time, Kogoro Mouri, Conan, and Watson use that time to investigate the crime scene in an attempt to solve the case.
I won't go into detail about Kogoro Mouri.
Conan and Watson's deductive abilities are beyond doubt. They quickly discovered suspicious points at the scene and secretly memorized them.
Now, Conan and Watson need to investigate the scene while searching for clues that can connect the suspicious points.
Time passed by little by little, and before we knew it, two hours had gone by.
In the two hours that followed, Conan and Watson had basically completed their investigation of the scene, memorized all the suspicious points, and started brainstorming.
Neither Conan nor Watson could connect these suspicious points for the time being.
They knew that the reason they couldn't connect these suspicious points was either that they were going in the wrong direction or that they were missing crucial clues.
However, they have confirmed that they have completed the site survey and there should be no omissions.
'So, what crucial clue is missing from my reasoning?'
If I haven't missed any crucial clues, then where did my reasoning go wrong?
Thinking this, Conan and Watson couldn't help but glance at Chen Anxia again, wondering to themselves, 'How exactly did Anxia find the murderer? What did Anxia notice during those two or three minutes she was at the crime scene?'
Just as Conan and Watson were at their wits' end, the forensic team rushed in and whispered something in Inspector Megure's ear.
As Inspector Megure listened, he nodded slightly, a look of surprise on his face.
Immediately, Inspector Megure walked up to Chen Anxia and looked at her, saying, "Anxia, those items have been verified to be exactly as you said. Now, can you explain your reasoning?"
Chen Anxia, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his deep eyes after hearing Inspector Megure's words and smiled slightly, saying, "Eh, of course."
The conversation between Chen Anxia and Inspector Megure drew everyone's attention.
Naturally, Conan, Watson, and Kogoro Mouri, who was completely baffled by the case, also turned their attention to Chen Anxia, wanting to know her reasoning.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Anxia began her reasoning.
"The deceased's clothes were neat, which indicates that the deceased did not fight before death and did not struggle after being stabbed."
"And this fact means that the deceased should have been killed with a single blow, without even having time to struggle."
"Now, the police have confirmed for me that the deceased was indeed killed by a single stab."
Apart from Conan and Watson, no one else present understood the significance of Chen Anxia's reasoning. They simply watched Chen Anxia silently, wanting to hear his next line of reasoning.
Upon hearing Chen Anxia's deduction, Conan and Watson immediately realized something, their faces showing shock as they thought to themselves, 'Strange, if the deceased was truly killed with a single stab wound, then how could he...?'
