SWNOVELXO Chapter 456: Chapter 636-640
Chapter 636 Playing with the Turntable is Very Dangerous
After Chi Feichei waited for Conan to mix the seasoning, he noticed the turntable turning to the right. He reached out again and pulled the turntable back.
He remembered the Method in this Case.
Kaizo Isozaki applied Poison to the underside of the turntable, only on the positions where the Century Egg and Crab Meat Scrambled Eggs dishes were placed. Then, he rotated the turntable to bring the two dishes in front of Shiro Kawabata.
Shiro Kawabata disliked these two dishes. When he found them constantly rotating in front of him, he would keep turning the turntable to move them away.
Because the two dishes were close together and placed on the edge of the turntable, Shiro Kawabata could only turn it from underneath. His fingers would be repeatedly stained with Toxin. When he used his hands to grab Peking Duck to eat, the Toxin would stick to the Roast Duck and be eaten along with it...
It was rare to eat Chinese Cuisine sold at a Hotel Outside. This Shop also looked high-end. Wouldn't it be nice to taste the Dish and have a good Meal?
Kaizo Isozaki wanted to commit Murder, but he could do it another Day.
Kaizo Isozaki had just turned the two Egg dishes in front of Shiro Kawabata when he found that before Shiro Kawabata could reach out, the two dishes had already been turned away. Feeling helpless, he pretended to be nonchalant and reached out to turn the turntable again.
He turned to the left!
When the Century Egg turned in front of Shiro Kawabata, Chi Feichei reached out and also turned the turntable to the left, letting the Century Egg swing past Shiro Kawabata.
Kaizo Isozaki: "..."
Stop, he turned to the right!
When the Century Egg was about to stop in front of Shiro Kawabata, Chi Feichei interfered again, letting the Century Egg swing past Shiro Kawabata once more.
Kaizo Isozaki: "..."
He refused to believe it... Turn!
Shiro Kawabata found that the two dishes he disliked kept swinging back and forth in front of him. With black lines all over his face, he looked up.
Knowing clearly that he disliked these two dishes, they still let them swing in front of his eyes.
Once or twice was fine, but he looked up five times, and five times he saw those two dishes floating past in front of him!
Which Fellow was deliberately disgusting him?
Mori Kogoro reached out with his Chopsticks five times but failed to pick up any Dish. Speechless, he looked up.
Could they let him steadily pick up a Dish? Could they!
Conan originally planned to add more Chili Oil. Just as he picked up the small Spoon, he found that the Bottle containing Chili Oil had been turned away. It ran to the left for a while, then to the right again. Speechless, he looked up.
He wanted to see which childish Ghost was playing with the turntable!
During the Meal, everything was Normal.
Kaizo Isozaki and Chi Feichei noticed that others were looking up, so they stopped turning the turntable and reached out to pick up the Dish in front of them.
Motozura Ito and Kyogo Kitaura also only slightly turned the turntable to pick up the Dishes they liked.
Shiro Kawabata was the first to give up searching for the 'culprit'. He lowered his head to eat, brewing how to persuade the two people he had taken a fancy to.
Mori Kogoro and Conan didn't notice anything Abnormality and planned to continue eating their own Meal.
Kaizo Isozaki: "..."
Very good, no one was paying attention to the turntable anymore... He turned!
Chi Feichei: "..."
Want to commit Murder? In your Dreams... Turn!
Mori Kogoro: "..."
He just wanted to eat a bite of Green Pepper and Shredded Pork. Did it have to be so difficult?
No, Meal must be fought for by Oneself... Turn!
Conan: "..."
Chili Oil...
Chili Oil...
Turn!
The remaining four people were eating when they suddenly noticed the turntable in front of them turning left and right. Not only was the Speed not slow, but it also almost never stopped. Speechless, they looked up one after another.
Again, everything was Normal.
No one was maliciously playing with the turntable, and the turntable no longer turned left and right.
Only Conan, relying on the fact that he was a Kid and no one would blame him, stubbornly continued to turn the Chili Oil in front of him.
The other four people were Doubtful. While lowering their heads to eat, they were also secretly paying attention to the People All around.
Kaizo Isozaki: "..."
Very good, that Kid had already turned the turntable over. He only needed to turn it a little bit more to let that Fellow Kawabata touch the Poisoned Place... He turned!
Chi Feichei: "..."
Don't be so persistent, eat properly... Turn!
Conan: "..."
Even if they didn't let him put Chili Oil, they should at least let him put the small Spoon back, right?
He had finally turned it in front of him, but they didn't even give him a chance to put the Spoon down. Too much...
Turn!
Mori Kogoro: "..."
He wouldn't eat Green Pepper and Shredded Pork anymore, could he just eat Century Egg?
He couldn't even pick up Century Egg, infuriating... Turn!
Kaizo Isozaki: "..."
Could the others stop messing around? He wanted to commit Murder! ... Turn!
Chi Feichei: "..."
No, you don't... Turn!
Conan: "..."
Chili Oil, Chili Oil... Turn!
Mori Kogoro: "..."
He just wanted to pick up a Dish! ... Turn!
"Everyone..." A Waiter pushed a Dining Cart forward. Seeing the turntable spinning so fast, he sweated and couldn't help but remind, "The turntable on the Dining Table is not fixed. Although it generally won't fly out due to the weight of the Glass and the adsorption of the base, playing with it like this is also very Dangerous. The Dishes and Soup on the turntable are also easily spilled."
Kaizo Isozaki: "..."
He had already applied the Poison. He just needed to let that Fellow Kawabata touch that Place. Why were the others messing around!
Chi Feichei: "..."
This Old Man is really persistent enough, but what are Teacher Mouri and Conan meddling in?
Mori Kogoro: "..."
He wasn't playing around!
He hadn't picked up a single Dish since he sat down. Could he tolerate this?
Conan: "..."
Chili Oil...
Chili Oil...
"It should be someone joking with me," Shiro Kawabata thought of the Century Egg and Crab Meat Scrambled Eggs that kept swinging in front of his eyes, and felt a little nauseous and Uncomfortable. However, it was inconvenient for him to get angry, as he was worried about scaring away Chi Feichei and Mouri Ran. He simply 'out of sight, out of mind' and turned his Head to look at the Dining Cart pushed over by the Waiter. "Oh! The Peking Duck I ordered has arrived. Everyone, try it. Peking Duck is the most famous Dish in their Shop!"
Silence.
Kaizo Isozaki and Mori Kogoro were still depressed and didn't Say anything.
Chi Feichei was Daily Routine Silence. Conan was focused on turning the Chili Oil in front of him.
Mouri Ran, Motozura Ito, and Kyogo Kitaura were silently recalling the whole process, trying hard to find out who was the Fellow messing around.
Everyone was silent, not saying a Word. Not only did no one respond to Shiro Kawabata's Words, but no one looked up at the Peking Duck, like a Table of Puppets.
The Waiter felt a strange feeling in his Heart, always feeling that this Table of People was very Abnormality. "Then Whether or Not to serve the Dish now..."
"Uh, Okay..." Shiro Kawabata originally wanted to curse 'Can this Meal be eaten properly today?', but seeing the Atmosphere on the Table was strange, he always felt a chill in his Heart, so he didn't curse.
The Waiter served the Roast Duck on the Table. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind again, "Please enjoy your Meal, everyone. Also, playing with the turntable is really Dangerous, please pay attention to Safety."
"I don't care who is playing a Prank, but stop here," Shiro Kawabata couldn't help but Say a Sentence. Smilingly, he turned his Head to ask Chi Feichei, incidentally enlivening the Atmosphere, "This Mr., do you have a Female Celebrity you like?"
Mori Kogoro couldn't help but interject, "Then it must be the beautiful and lovely Yoko Okino!"
Chi Feichei: "No."
Mori Kogoro: "..."
Ruthless!
Shiro Kawabata also felt that it was a bit impossible to Communication with Chi Feichei. Thinking about how he had to first win over one, and then let the one he won over persuade the other, it would be much easier. He turned his Head to ask Mouri Ran again, "Then, Miss, what about you? Do you have a Star you like?"
"One is Kudo Yukiko," Mouri Ran said with a smile, "She is my Childhood Sweethearts' Mother. I have admired her since I was a Kid."
Chi Feichei silently ate Rice.
This was his Senior Sister.
"Anyone else?" Shiro Kawabata asked.
"There is also the American Big Star Sharon Vineyard," Mouri Ran said with Regret, "It's a Pity she passed away a year ago."
Chi Feichei continued to eat Rice.
This was also his Senior Sister.
Shiro Kawabata was a little surprised, "Oh, it's that Super Female Celebrity!"
"That's right," Mouri Ran smiled, "I once saw her once. She was really great!"
Conan stared blankly at Mouri Ran, Don't Know what he was thinking.
Mori Kogoro was Doubtful, "When did you see that Big Star?"
"In a Place you Don't Know!" Mouri Ran sold the suspense with a smile, not forgetting to pull in Chi Feichei. She turned her Head and said, "I thought Brother Hichiji would prefer Chris Vineyard."
When Conan heard this Name, his mind replayed the figures of Gin and Vodka again. This time, he also added the figure of Chris Vineyard. He sweated, "No way..."
"How do you know no way?" Mori Kogoro glanced.
Conan: "..."
Cannot be!
His Little Friend must not like that Female Celebrity who might be an Organization Member!
What about the person himself? Didn't he Say before that he didn't even leave Contact Information? Come out and explain... for a moment...
Conan turned his Head to look at Chi Feichei and suddenly had Half-Moon Eyes.
The others were discussing enthusiastically, but only Chi Feichei was silently eating Rice, bit by bit, slowly and methodically, but it seemed like he had already eaten almost enough.
This Fellow was really quiet enough...
"Kudo Yukiko and Sharon Vineyard," Kaizo Isozaki was a little surprised, "Both of them are Female Celebrity with superb Acting Skill. As for Chris Vineyard, although it is said that she was able to appear on the Big Screen as soon as she debuted because of her Mother's Relationship, but as a Director, when I watched the Movie she starred in when she debuted, I felt that her Acting Skill was impeccable, not at all like a Newcomer. Presumably, she was taught and honed her Acting Skill by her Mother from childhood... The Stars you like are really not simple."
Chi Feichei was almost full. He took a Tissue to wipe his mouth, then picked up the wet Towel on the Table and carefully wiped his hands.
He could understand Kaizo Isozaki's Mood.
Kudo Yukiko belonged to the kind of person who was blessed by God. Her Acting Skill was good, she looked cute, and coupled with Luck and other Conditions, she had achieved many achievements that many Stars did not have at a young age.
Moreover, because Kudo Yukiko announced her retirement at the age of 20, when her Career was on the rise, and went Home to marry and have Children, there are still many People All who have gone from reluctance, resentment, to helplessness, and then to Blessing. Now it is considered a legend.
Sharon Vineyard was a steady and solid strength-based Star. She had won the Oscar for Best Actress twice and a Lifetime Achievement Award. She had also won many other Awards. She could be called a world-class Star and a very Status Old Actor.
Chris Vineyard had been very popular since her debut. She was beautiful, had a good figure, and her Acting Skill was beyond reproach. She became a big Star as soon as she debuted. However, because she was overly mysterious, she was rarely seen except on set, and she did not participate in any Activities, so her exposure rate was not that High, otherwise she would definitely be more popular than she is now.
However, Chris Vineyard also had many Fan, a Real 'Big Star'.
Girls as old as Mouri Ran mostly liked some handsome Male Star. It was indeed not simple for Mouri Ran to like two world-class Female Celebrity with Acting Skill.
"They are all legendary figures," Kyogo Kitaura also Sigh with Emotion, "But none of them are left now. Chris Vineyard also announced her retirement not long ago. It is indeed a Pity."
"Humph..." Deputy Director Motozura Ito's Mood fell low, "If that Girl hadn't died, she might have been able to become a legendary figure like them..."
"That Girl?" Mouri Ran asked curiously.
However, before Motozura Ito could explain, Shiro Kawabata, who was sitting between Chi Feichei and Conan, Groan in pain, reached out to cover his throat, and his Face quickly turned from green to purple. Soon, his Head drooped weakly again, and he crashed onto the Table, his Face buried in the Plate.
The People All at the same Table were startled and stood up one after another.
Chi Feichei also stood up and quickly scanned the People All around. He not only noted the complexions of the People All at the same Table, but also paid attention to the expressions of other People in the Shop.
Someone still died.
But he had been paying attention to the turntable.
He could be sure that Shiro Kawabata had not touched the Poison under the turntable!
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 637: Someone, drag this troublemaker away!
"Hey, Mr. Kawabata..." Kyogo Kitaura's face was deathly pale, "Don't joke around like that."
"No, he's not joking," Mori Kogoro reached out and felt Shiro Kawabata's neck, his expression grave, "He's already dead."
"Ah!" The Waiter who rushed over to see what was happening exclaimed in surprise.
"Ran, Report to Police," Mori Kogoro said, then looked at Chi Feichei again, "Hassashi, give me a pair of Gloves, help keep an eye on things, and don't let anyone else touch anything on the Dining Table."
Conan, who was just about to ask for Gloves: "..."
Uncle's reaction is too quick today!
Generally, Chi Feichei only carries two pairs of Gloves; first come, first served.
Chi Feichei reached into his Pocket, took out a pair of Disposable Gloves, and handed them to Mori Kogoro.
Conan looked up at Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi..."
"That's all." Chi Feichei said, "I'll keep the last pair for myself."
He had been keeping a close eye on the original Murderer and those at the same table, and no one should have been able to Take Action, yet Shiro Kawabata still died.
It's rare to encounter a Case that isn't so boring, and he wants to figure out what happened.
Conan: "..."
Just as he thought.
Never mind, he'll observe for now.
Mori Kogoro leaned closer to Shiro Kawabata's face and sniffed, "There's a strong Bitter Almond Smell coming from his mouth..."
"Cyanide Poisoning," Chi Feichei stated the Answer. He wondered why there was so much Cyanide around here; whenever there's Poisoning, Cyanide is always the first Suspect. "Before Mr. Kawabata collapsed, no one approached him from behind or touched the Food in front of him, and he doesn't seem like someone who would commit Suicide..."
"In Other Words, this is an impossible Crime, but it's also Possible..." Mori Kogoro looked at the Waiter standing aside, drenched in cold sweat, Half-Moon Eyes narrowed, "You wouldn't be Poisoning the Meals in your restaurant, would you?"
"H-How could we?" The Waiter hurriedly explained, "How could we possibly do such a thing! Besides, once the Meals are served, we can't be sure what this Mr. will eat. There are other Guests at the Table as well; if someone else gets Poisoning..."
Mori Kogoro stroked his chin, "So, you're saying you planned to Murder someone at random?"
Conan stumbled in place.
Hey, hey, while food Poisoning and random Murder are Possibilities, shouldn't you find Evidence to support that Statement before making accusations?
Don't just spout baseless Ideas without Evidence to back them up, okay...?
"No one at the Table deliberately approached Mr. Kawabata, but Conan and I, sitting on either side of him, wouldn't need to get close to administer Poison," Chi Feichei continued. "So, everyone should attest that I didn't approach or Contact the Corpse, and then we can wait for the Police to arrive and conduct a Poison Reaction Test."
Conan was taken aback, then understood.
Correct, the only ones who could easily administer Poison are him and Chi Feichei.
He's an Elementary School Student now, so he probably won't be Suspect, but Chi Feichei is another story.
Luckily, Chi Feichei hadn't deliberately approached the Corpse just now, nor had he touched anything unnecessarily.
If any Poison got on his body or hands and was detected by the Police, it would be difficult to explain.
...
Half an Hour later, the Police arrived.
Leading the team was the Kanagawa Prefectural Police, with a male Police Officer who looked very similar to Mori Kogoro's fervent admirer, Inspector Yokomizo.
The only difference was that Inspector Yokomizo had Curly Hair, while this Police Officer had a buzz cut and looked much more serious.
Chi Feichei Looked and understood the other party's Identity—Inspector Yokomizo's Younger Brother, Heng Gou Jugo.
These brothers were a bit hard to tell apart; he used to get confused about who was the Older Brother and who was the Younger Brother.
After briefly understanding the Situation, Chi Feichei indeed became the prime Suspect.
He was sitting to Shiro Kawabata's left, making it too easy to administer Poison, while Conan, being an Elementary School Student, wasn't under Suspicion.
"We need to Inspect your Personal Belongings and conduct a Poison Reaction Test." A Police Officer said to Chi Feichei.
Conan glanced sideways. Inspect Chi Feichei's Personal Belongings? He was also curious about what Things Chi Feichei might have in his Pocket.
Chi Feichei nodded Cooperatively and began taking Things out.
Pants Pocket:
Mobile Phone, Driver's License, Lighter, Key, Cigarette, Car Insurance Card, Personal Medical Card, Bank card, Cash, a pair of Disposable Medical Glove, three Evidence Bag.
The Police Officer standing in front of Chi Feichei was taken aback. "This is..."
"What's wrong?" Heng Gou Jugo, who was getting briefed on the Situation over there, Turn Head.
"Uh, nothing, this..." The Police Officer picked up an Evidence Bag and Looked at it. "It looks like an Evidence Bag used by our Police in Case Solving."
He suspected it might be a Police Colleague on Vacation, but even Police Officers on Vacation wouldn't carry Evidence Bags, right?
"I got them from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department." Chi Feichei explained, "My Teacher is a Detective, and sometimes when we Go Out to Investigate Cases, I carry Evidence Bags with me so it's Convenient to Hand Over anything we find to the Police."
"I-Is that so?" The Police Officer standing in front of Chi Feichei sweatdropped. "No wonder you also carry Disposable Gloves."
Heng Gou Jugo was Speechless for a moment. Are Detectives nowadays this Professional? Making their Apprentices carry Evidence Bags and Gloves?
Chi Feichei continued taking Things out.
Left Pocket:
Small Waterproof Flashlight, Small Notebook, Oil-based Pen, Folding Knife, Chocolate...
"And what's this?" Heng Gou Jugo leaned forward to look at a square package larger than Candy.
"Compressed Rations." Chi Feichei said.
Heng Gou Jugo looked at Chi Feichei, Speechless. "This kind of Dry Food is hard to come by, right? People usually bring Biscuits or something similar when they Travel to stave off hunger, which I understand, but very few people carry this kind of Dry Food. What do you bring this for?"
"To handle a Crisis. If there's a Traffic Jam on the Road and I get Hungry, I can use Dry Food to fill my Belly. It's more filling than Biscuits, and while Chocolate only replenishes Heat, Compressed Rations combined with Water I can buy at Roadside Service Area or Gas Station are enough to handle hunger..." Chi Feichei explained, continuing to take Things out.
In the right Pocket of his Coat, there was a pile of Pills and bottles.
Heng Gou Jugo picked up a strip of Pills, probably cut from a larger sheet, with only five left. "And what's this?"
Chi Feichei: "Motion Sickness Medicine."
Heng Gou Jugo: "And this is..."
Chi Feichei: "Cold Remedy Powder."
Heng Gou Jugo: "And this is..."
Chi Feichei: "Gastrointestinal Medicine."
Hemostatic Medicine, Disposable Alcohol Wipes, Anti-Inflammatory Medicine, Gauze, Band-aid, Allergy Medicine...
Chi Feichei also took out a Small Syringe, which clearly contained some liquid.
Heng Gou Jugo's Face became even more Serious. "What's this?"
"Anti-Sea Snake Venom Serum." Chi Feichei said.
"We'll need to conduct a Poison Reaction Test." Heng Gou Jugo said seriously.
Chi Feichei Nodded, indicating he understood.
Not just the Serum, but other Things will need to be tested as well. He understood...
Heng Gou Jugo looked at Chi Feichei's Calm Expression and overly Calm Reaction, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Meeting someone who seemed to understand the Procedure and was so Cooperative, he was Speechless. "You're carrying Anti-Sea Snake Venom Serum. Are you planning to go to the Yokohama Bay Area later?"
"No, I have a Snake." Chi Feichei said.
Hassashi also Cooperatively poked his head out from under his Collar, Staring at Heng Gou Jugo and flicking his Snake Tongue.
"Ah!" The Police Officer who had been in front of Chi Feichei earlier jumped in fright and Subconsciously took two steps back.
Heng Gou Jugo glared at his Subordinates, Black Lines on Forehead appearing.
Was such a big Reaction necessary?
Although looking at this Young Man's bewitching and eerie Purple Eyes, he seemed very Indifferent, so Indifferent it was almost emotionless. Add to that a Snake poking its head out from his chin, pale Skin, and sharply defined features—no matter how you looked at it, he seemed a bit sinister...
No, just having a Snake on you is sinister enough...
But, as a Police Officer, he couldn't back down!
"Is that Snake Venomous?" Heng Gou Jugo asked sternly.
"Mild Toxin, non-lethal. And it's a Rear-Fanged Venomous Snake, so its Poisonous Fangs generally can't bite humans, and even extracting Venom is difficult," Chi Feichei said calmly. "You can Inspect the Deceased for similar Wounds to rule out the Suspicion of it biting him to death."
Heng Gou Jugo understood that Chi Feichei wasn't planning to Hand Over the Snake for Inspection. Considering Chi Feichei had been Cooperative so far, he Nodded. "If we find Snake Venom Components on or inside the Deceased, we'll Request you to Cooperate with Investigation."
"Okay." Chi Feichei picked up Hassashi and tossed him to Conan. "Conan, take Hassashi."
Heng Gou Jugo watched a Snake fly through the Air and get caught by an Elementary School Student. The Snake remained docile, and the Kid wasn't even surprised. He suddenly wondered if he was falling behind the Era.
Did Young People and Kids nowadays like Creatures like Snakes?
He couldn't understand it.
"You really come Prepared when you Go Out," Heng Gou Jugo said, seeing that Chi Feichei had taken out all his Personal Belongings. He Turn Head to look at the Bag that held the Things. Many items were small, but there were so many and they were so varied that testing would take a long time. It was the first time he'd seen someone Go Out carrying so much Medicine, and yet they might all be useful in an emergency. "Do you always bring all this Stuff when you Go Out?"
"It depends on the Situation, not necessarily these exact Things," Chi Feichei paused. "What I used to carry doesn't seem to be related to this Case."
If he were to really get into it, there would be a lot to talk about.
If he was going out to the Sea, he'd also bring a super-small Oxygen Cylinder, inflatable flotation devices that could draw Air from the outside, and it would be best to prepare a small bottle of Fresh Water before boarding... and so on.
If he was going to the Mountains or the Wilderness, he'd bring a Folding Knife, good quality String, a general Antidote... and so on.
If he was going on a Bounty Mission or an Organization Task, he wouldn't need to bring Cold Medicine, Motion Sickness Medicine, or things like that. He'd need to bring Hemostatic and Anti-Inflammatory Medication.
He wouldn't bring Chocolate or Dry Food and things like that, not because they weren't useful, but because they took up too much Space.
More Pocket Space needed to be freed up to carry Weapons, tools for collecting Things, Steel Wire, small Mechanisms, and other Things that were Lethal or could help with escape.
Heng Gou Jugo couldn't argue. What someone usually carried when Going Out was indeed irrelevant to this Case. He just needed to Confirm that Chi Feichei was always like this and that it wasn't Abnormality. He Lower Head, Looked at the Investigation Record, picked up his Pen, and asked, "Last question: what kind of Work do you do?"
Chi Feichei: "Veterinarian."
Heng Gou Jugo, who was just about to write 'Detective', Looked up in shock. "Wh-What? But didn't you just say your Teacher is a Detective?"
"But I'm a Veterinarian." Chi Feichei said.
Heng Gou Jugo: "..."
Someone, drag this troublemaker away!
'But I'm a Veterinarian' indeed.
The Teacher is a Detective, but why is the Apprentice a Veterinarian? Can studying Veterinary Medicine help with Case Solving?
And come on, come on, come on, look at all this Stuff. What's related to being a Veterinarian?
First Aid supplies, Case Investigation supplies, daily emergency supplies, and even the Medication is for humans. What's related to being a Veterinarian?
He suspected this guy was a fake Veterinarian!
Seeing Heng Gou Jugo's suspicious Face, Chi Feichei added, "I have a Qualification Certificate, though I didn't bring it today. I graduated from Todai University with a Veterinary Medicine Major this year and used to work as a Surgeon at Shinchi Pet Hospital. I'm currently a Hospital Consultant. All of this can be verified."
Not a fake Veterinarian?
Heng Gou Jugo, Half-Moon Eyes narrowed, Lower Head and wrote in the Investigation Notes, "So, a Veterinarian who doesn't do his job properly, huh..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
He was being so Cooperative, and he was still getting teased.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 638 Heng Gou Jugo: So Annoyed!
Conan watched the excitement from the side, holding Hissashi, and felt secretly amused.
He knew that these Police Officers investigating Chi Feichei's Personal Belongings would lead to them questioning their lives.
And this Police Officer's Teasing really resonated with him.
He had wanted to Teasing like that for a long time, but considering Chi Feichei's Deception and everyone's Relationship, he had never said it out loud...
After Chi Feichei answered the questions, he took back his Mobile Phone, which had been tested first, and stood aside, thinking about what was going on with this Case.
He was sitting next to Shiro Kawabata, so if anyone approached Shiro Kawabata and made Subtle Move, he would definitely Sense it.
Even if he couldn't See it, Hissashi could See it and tell him.
So, the Method of Poisoning should still be to put the Poisonous Substance in a certain Place or on an object beforehand, so that Shiro Kawabata would come into contact with the Toxin.
Shiro Kawabata was also poisoned and died after grabbing Roast Duck with his Hand and taking a bite.
In other words, the Toxin was very likely on the Roast Duck or on Shiro Kawabata's Hand at that Time.
If the Poison was on the Roast Duck, was it random Murder? Or did the Murderer guarantee that Shiro Kawabata would be the First to eat the Roast Duck?
It's temporarily impossible to determine, and we still have to wait for the Police's Toxin test results.
And if the Toxin was on Shiro Kawabata's Hand...
Then the Turntable can be ruled out.
He had been Staring the whole Time, and Shiro Kawabata had not touched any Place on the Turntable that might be poisoned.
And Shiro Kawabata did not Go To the Washroom in the middle, and had been in the Vicinity of the Dining Table. Things he had touched with his Hand included Wet Towel, Chair Back, the side of the Chair Seat, Chopsticks, Plate, Mouri Ran's Shoulder, Sauce Dish for Peking Duck...
Wait, there are other Things.
After they came over, Shiro Kawabata didn't smoke anymore, but among the original four people, only Shiro Kawabata had an Ashtray in front of him.
And after the Seat were changed, Shiro Kawabata also took the Ashtray in front of him. In the middle, he Seemingly Reach Out into his Pocket, Intention to take out a Cigarette, but gave up again.
Things that Shiro Kawabata touched with his Hand should also include Cigarette, Cigarette Case, Lighter, Ashtray!
...
Not long after, the preliminary Toxin test results came out.
No Toxin Reaction was detected on the Roast Duck or the Waiter who brought the Roast Duck.
Other Police Officers were still testing other Places on the Dining Table, and Heng Gou Jugo began to confirm Information with other People at the Dining Table again.
If the Poison was not placed in the Food that the Deceased ate last, then it was to make the Deceased get Poison on his Hand midway!
When asked about Mori Kogoro, Heng Gou Jugo suspiciously sized up Mori Kogoro, "This Mr. with a beard, I think you look familiar."
Mori Kogoro smiled confidently, "That's natural, because I am the Famous Detective..."
"Do you have a Criminal Record?" Heng Gou Jugo glanced at Mori Kogoro, "Or are you a Wanted Criminal currently being Wanted?"
"Huh?" Mori Kogoro was taken aback, and quickly pointed at himself with a smile, explaining, "No, no, I am Mori Kogoro!"
Motozura Ito was surprised, "Mori Kogoro..."
"That Famous Detective?" Kyogo Kitaura also felt surprised.
Kaizo Isozaki didn't say anything, recalling that the Turntable he had turned earlier was constantly being turned away, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Could it be that this Famous Detective discovered his Intention, so he was preventing him?
At that Time, those who were competing with him to turn the Turntable were all People from this Famous Detective's side.
But the Problem is, his Poisoning Plan was not successful, but Kawabata died, what's going on?
Chi Feichei Get Up and Go To the Vicinity of the Dining Table.
Since the Poison that Kaizo Isozaki applied was not touched by the Deceased, then that is to Say, in addition to Kaizo Isozaki, there was originally another Poisoner, and they had already Action.
It's just that in the original Plot, Kaizo Isozaki's Plan succeeded, designed to make Shiro Kawabata touch the Toxin and the Poison from another person Mixed, and the two also chose Cyanide, so the other person was not discovered.
If he hadn't hindered Kaizo Isozaki's Plan, there should have been two Culprit in this Case, and Conan only found one in the original Plot...
Over there, Heng Gou Jugo glanced at the smug Mori Kogoro with Half-Moon Eyes, "Oh, so you are that Plague God called Sleeping Kogoro!"
"It's Sleeping Kogoro!" Mori Kogoro corrected.
Chi Feichei: "..."
Shouldn't the focus be on 'Plague God'?
Unexpectedly, his Teacher's Plague God reputation has already spread to Kanagawa Prefectural Police Department.
"Then, that Mr. is your Disciple, this Famous Detective, right?" Heng Gou Jugo Turn Head, Look Towards Chi Feichei who Go To the Vicinity of the Dining Table, "I heard that he is also the Same Plague God, Police Officers from Metropolitan Police Department Investigation Division One are familiar with him, no wonder he can get Evidence Bag and other Things from Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department..."
Chi Feichei: "..."
His Plague God reputation has also spread to Kanagawa Prefectural Police Department?
However, it's okay for Inspector Megure and These People to Teasing, After All, People can run into them every time they are dispatched, he feels guilty, unreasonable, and Speechless.
Heng Gou Jugo is being merciless with his mouth the First Time they meet, this Illness needs to be treated.
"Police Officer!" The forensic personnel beside the Dining Table spoke up and shouted, "Toxin Reaction detected again!"
"Oh?" Heng Gou Jugo immediately Turn Head to Look.
"There is no Toxin Reaction on other Cuisine," the forensic personnel said, "We only tested Toxin Reaction on the Cutlery and Wet Towel used by the Deceased, among which Cyanide is the most abundant on the Wet Towel."
"What about the Ashtray?" Chi Feichei asked aloud.
The forensic personnel Turn Head to Look at the Table, "There is also some on the side and bottom of the Ashtray."
"What about the Cigarette Butt?" Chi Feichei asked.
"No." The forensic personnel said, "We did not find Toxin Reaction on those Cigarette Butt."
"Cough!" Heng Gou Jugo Coughed.
These Detective and such are really like the Rumor, not Polite at all.
One asked so naturally, and the other answered so naturally, completely ignoring him?
If you want to ask, it should be him asking, and don't forget, this kid is still a Suspect!
Chi Feichei didn't ask any further questions, and Go To the Position where Shiro Kawabata was sitting before, Looked at the Trace on the Table.
"The only People who could Poison the Deceased are those who were sitting Beside the Deceased at that Time. This little Younger Brother is obviously impossible to do such a Thing, then..." Heng Gou Jugo Stare at Chi Feichei, "Then it's only you, Mr. Chi! You knew in advance that the Deceased would eat Peking Duck and would also use a Wet Towel to wipe his Hands, so you swapped the Wet Towel used by the Deceased with a poisoned Wet Towel, right?"
Chi Feichei Turn Head and Looked at Heng Gou Jugo, without speaking, using a calm Gaze to indicate that he had no emotional fluctuations in the face of the accusation.
Heng Gou Jugo: "!"
(｀Δ´)
What kind of Gaze is this?
Conan broke out in a sweat, and quickly said, "I think it's impossible, oh, I was sitting on Mr. Kawabata's right hand side at that Time, only I could replace the Wet Towel that Mr. Kawabata placed on the right, if Brother Chi wanted to replace it, he would have to lean over, in that case, everyone would See it."
"Did Mr. Chi have similar Action before?" Heng Gou Jugo Turn Head and asked Kaizo Isozaki and others.
Kaizo Isozaki and others shook their Heads.
"No, no..."
"I didn't See it."
"Hmm..." Heng Gou Jugo rubbed his chin, "But, he can put the poisonous Wet Towel on the Turntable, and let the poisonous Wet Towel turn to the Deceased..."
"In that case, everyone has the possibility to commit the crime," Conan tried hard to remind Heng Gou Jugo, "And how did he bring Mr. Kawabata's original Towel over there? He hasn't left his Seat since Mr. Kawabata fell down, and has been standing Aside, without touching Mr. Kawabata or the Dining Table."
(~_~;)
Mommy, thankfully this Chi Feichei Fellow reacted quickly and was calm enough, and stayed away from the Deceased at the First Time, avoiding any Action that could lead to him being listed as a Suspect, otherwise he would really be treated as the number one Suspect.
"That's right, and Brother Hichiji and Mr. Kawabata don't know each other, and he has no Motive to Murder... Hmm?" Mouri Ran said, feeling a little Dizziness in front of her eyes again, and then Realized that it was almost Time for her to take Cold Medicine, "Sorry, I Seemingly have a Cold, can I take Cold Medicine first?"
Heng Gou Jugo quickly Nod, "Ah, of course you can."
Chi Feichei Get Up, and Go To Mouri Ran who Intention to find the Waiter, "Ran, can you Help me ask the Shopkeeper of this Shop a few Questions..."
After Mouri Ran listened, she Nodded seriously.
Conan noticed Chi Feichei's Action, and Guess that Chi Feichei Guess something to verify, but as a Suspect, it was inconvenient, so he Request Mouri Ran to ask, and a Sense of urgency suddenly rose in his Heart.
He also has to Refuel to Solve a Case!
"Speaking of which," Mori Kogoro sized up Heng Gou Jugo, "I also feel like I've Seen you somewhere before..."
"Yokomizo." Chi Feichei reminded his Teacher who has a tendency to be forgetful.
At any rate, Inspector Yokomizo is someone who admires his Teacher, admires him to the point of wanting to snatch the Position of Chief Disciple from him, how could his Teacher not have discovered that this person looks very similar to Inspector Yokomizo?
"Yokomizo?" Mori Kogoro Looked at Heng Gou Jugo, and immediately laughed, "Oh! It's you, you are Yokomizo! I Say, is it because you were ineffective in handling affairs and were shaved Bald Head, felt ashamed, and didn't want to be recognized by us, so you pretended to be foolish, pretending that you didn't know us?"
Heng Gou Jugo was covered in black lines, and Silence.
"Don't be like this!" Mori Kogoro smiled and used his elbow to nudge Heng Gou Jugo, "But your current Hairstyle is much more refreshing, much better than your previous difficult-to-manage Hairstyle..."
"Cough cough!" Heng Gou Jugo could no longer bear it, and declared with a serious Face, "The one you are talking about should be my Older Brother Yokomizo Sango who belongs to Shizuoka Prefectural Police Department, right? I am Heng Gou Jugo of Kanagawa Prefectural Police!"
"You are his Younger Brother?" Mori Kogoro was surprised.
Mouri Ran, who had just come back with Hot Water, also instantly had Dou Dou Eyes, "No way?"
Clearly this one looks more mature and more like the Older Brother.
Heng Gou Jugo: "In short, my Older Brother is very easy-going, and he also respects you quite a bit, but I am different from him, I..."
Chi Feichei's Tone was calm and natural as he continued, "Not cute at all."
Heng Gou Jugo: "Not cute at all..."
These People are really...
He's going to explode!
"I don't believe you stinky Detective at all!!!" Heng Gou Jugo roared.
Mori Kogoro was splashed with a Face full of Spittle, Speechless.
It wasn't him who was making trouble, go roar at his Disciple.
"Also," Heng Gou Jugo completely lost it, and continued to roar, "Don't talk to me about Topics unrelated to the Case!"
Chi Feichei ignored Heng Gou Jugo, and Go To Mouri Ran, asking how the Situation was with the Things he asked Mouri Ran to inquire about.
Actually, apart from being too straightforward in his Words and being prejudiced against Detective at the Beginning, Heng Gou Jugo is also a pretty good person. In the original Plot, after Mouri Ran had a Fever and fainted, he also drove a Police Car to take Mouri Ran to the Hospital and Helped to Contact acquaintances to arrange a Bed.
It's just that his Mentality is not good enough.
Then... Never Mind, Solve a Case quickly and withdraw quickly.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 639 The Second Murderer
Heng Gou Jugo let out a breath, suddenly realizing that the atmosphere was off.
Around him, the deceased's table mates, Hotel Guests, Hotel Shopkeeper, and other Police Officer were all staring blankly at Heng Gou Jugo.
So fierce…
Heng Gou Jugo: "..."
His usual calm and wise image had collapsed.
Also, would he be seen as stern and unsympathetic? What should he do now? Should he explain? But wouldn't explaining make him lose Face and seem fickle?
Conan watched Heng Gou Jugo's face change drastically, alternating between cloudy and sunny, and fell silent, lowering his head in thought.
He suspected Chi Feichei was doing it intentionally, just to retaliate against Police Officer Heng Gou Jugo for previously ridiculing him as a 'veterinarian who doesn't do his job properly' and a 'Plague God'.
That Fellow was indeed petty. Luckily, he had always ridiculing him silently in his heart. Teacher Judy and Police Officer Heng Gou Jugo, who dared to ridiculing him directly, seemed to be quite annoyed.
But it was understandable. Chi Feichei seemed to be more tolerant of acquaintances. If they weren't close enough and ridiculing him, it was no wonder Chi Feichei would Counterattack.
Regardless, he should Solve a Case quickly, otherwise he would fall behind Chi Feichei again.
There was a lot of Toxin on the Wet Towel, but it wasn't brought over by turning the Turntable…
Huh? Wait, turning the Turntable?
He remembered someone frantically turning the Turntable, as if playing with it. Could it be that…
…
Chi Feichei left for a while, then returned, called the forensic personnel to the Washroom, and raised his eyes to see Conan leaning against the Wall Side waiting for him. He walked out.
Seeing Chi Feichei come out, Conan looked up at Chi Feichei, "I know too, who the Culprit is, and the Method used by the Culprit!"
Chi Feichei stopped at the Entrance of the Washroom, looking at Conan.
He didn't know which 'Culprit' Conan had discovered, but he Guess…
Conan touched his chin, "He first went to the Washroom, poured Cyanide on his Wet Towel, and after returning to his Seat, used the Wet Towel to apply the Poison to the bottom of the Turntable, so that when Mr. Kawabata turned the Turntable, Toxin would be left on his fingers. When eating Peking Duck, he made Mr. Kawabata ingest the Toxin and die. However, his Wet Towel had Cyanide on it and couldn't be kept Beside him. So, he probably took the opportunity to step forward when Uncle Mori was checking Mr. Kawabata's Vital Signs and switched his Towel with Mr. Kawabata's non-toxic Towel. Although Uncle Mori later told you to watch and not let anyone touch the Things on the Table, he had already completed the switch by then…"
Chi Feichei Nodded.
That's right, Kaizo Isozaki did switch the Towels, and had to switch them.
Otherwise, after the Police arrived, if a large amount of Cyanide was found on Kaizo Isozaki's Wet Towel, Kaizo Isozaki would also be unable to explain himself.
"Before, Mr. Kawabata's Jeans were spilled with Soup. When wiping with a Wet Towel, the Jeans would shed a little Color," Conan continued to Deduce in a low voice, "But the Wet Towel beside Mr. Kawabata's Seat only had Soup Stain, and no Blue Color left from wiping Jeans, while Mr. Isozaki's Wet Towel would have Soup Stain and the shed Color from the Jeans. This is Evidence that the toxic Wet Towel is his, and that he switched the Wet Towel…"
Hissashi stayed with Conan, circling Conan's Arm, listening to Conan's Reasoning.
It did see Kaizo Isozaki secretly switch the Towels. It originally wanted to remind Master, but Master seemed to have Seen it too, and didn't Say anything for some Reason. Was it probably wanting to Investigate the Modus Operandi first?
"By the Way, you asked the forensic personnel to come to the Washroom, are you trying to Investigate whether the Bottle he used to hold the Poisonous Substance was thrown in the Washroom?" Conan continued to ponder, "I think even if the Bottle containing Cyanide is found, since he would think of using a Wet Towel to get onto the Poisonous Substance to avoid detecting Toxin Reaction on his hands, it is impossible for him to leave Trace such as Fingerprint."
Chi Feichei Reached Out and picked up Hissashi, "The forensic personnel found a Small Bottle containing Cyanide in the Trash Can in the Men's Restroom. In addition, Cyanide Reaction was detected in the Drain under the Toilet in another Compartment, and there was also another ingredient, Wafer Paper that had not completely melted. There was also Cyanide on the Wafer Paper…"
"Huh?" Conan was stunned.
Since Chi Feichei mentioned it, it meant the Wafer Paper was Important.
Wafer Paper is an edible Film, transparent and tasteless. It is generally made by mixing starch, gelatin, and a small amount of lecithin, casting it into a Film, and drying it. It melts in Water.
The appearance of this Thing that shouldn't be in his Reasoning indicated that there was a Problem in one of the links in his Reasoning.
Wait? Melt in Water?
Toxin on the side and bottom of the Ashtray, Wafer Paper…
"You asked before whether the Ashtray and Cigarette Butt had Toxin Reaction," Conan looked at Chi Feichei hesitantly, "Are you Suspecting that another Person Poisoned and Killed Mr. Kawabata? But…"
"Mr. Isozaki did want to Poison, and did apply Toxin to the bottom of the Turntable," Chi Feichei provided Conan with the most Key Clue, "But I can be sure that Mr. Kawabata did not touch the Turntable at all, let alone touch the bottom of the Turntable."
Conan was stunned, and a flash of Spirit flashed in his mind, "You turned the Turntable Intentionally before?"
"Sort of," Chi Feichei found an Excuse, "Because Mr. Kawabata Said he hated those two Dishes, and Mr. Isozaki kept turning those two Dishes in front of him, so I turned the Dishes away."
"That's Weird," Conan Stared at Chi Feichei Suspiciously, "For this kind of unfamiliar Person, would you care whether he is happy eating or not?"
Chi Feichei looked directly at Conan, "I can Foresee the Future."
Conan's Expression became Subtle for a moment. His Expression was so serious, and he Said it as if it were true. He Suspected that Chi Feichei's Hysteria had relapsed, and he was again fantasizing that he had Esper Power. Originally, after spending a long Time together, he thought Chi Feichei just had Personality Problem, and there was nothing wrong with his Mental State. Now it seemed that there were still more or less Problems, "I Say, you… cough, it's nothing, uh… then if Mr. Isozaki's Plan didn't succeed, setting aside what he did, then there is another Poisoner, and it is precisely another Person who caused Mr. Kawabata's Death. Now the Toxin Reaction Detection over at the Dining Room has been completed. Except for the Cutlery, Ashtray, Wet Towel, and Mr. Kawabata's hands, there is no Toxin Reaction in other Places. Judging from this, another Person's Modus Operandi should be to apply Cyanide or sprinkle Cyanide Powder on the bottom of the Ashtray, and then carefully paste Wafer Paper on it, sticking the edges. When setting the Cutlery, they would bring it up and give it to Mr. Kawabata. Because Wafer Paper is very thin, as long as it is pasted flat on the bottom of the Ashtray and the edges do not exceed the edges of the Ashtray, normal person may not even Sense it even if they take it with their hands, let alone See it. Afterwards, as long as…"
Conan suddenly stopped, his Face becoming very unsightly.
"As long as before eating Peking Duck, Soup or Tea is spilled on the Table, the Wafer Paper under the Ashtray will slowly melt, and when Mr. Kawabata Sees that Soup or Tea has been spilled in front of him, he will also pick up the Ashtray and use a Wet Towel to Clean Up," Chi Feichei took over, "Because there are Cigarette Butt and Cigarette Ash in the Ashtray, normal person will choose to take the Ashtray from the Side and use their fingers to drag on the bottom of the Ashtray to assist in exerting force, in order not to get their fingers dirty, instead of putting their fingers inside the Ashtray. After taking the Ashtray, they will also wipe their fingers. In this way, no matter which Hand Mr. Kawabata uses to take the Ashtray, Toxin will get onto the Wet Towel, and then get onto the other Hand when wiping his hands later…"
"It's just that there was an Accident during the Meal…"
"The Criminal didn't have Time to Start Doing it, but Mr. Kawabata bumped into Ran's elbow and accidentally spilled the Soup Bowl." Conan's voice was low, and he felt a little Uncomfortable in his Heart.
Although, even if there was no such incident with Ran, the Murderer would probably have taken the initiative to spill something, so there was no need to blame oneself, but with Ran's Personality, once she knew about these Things, she would definitely feel that she was an accomplice to Murder.
Right, Just Like the Time when they went to America and met Sharon.
Initially, Backstage of the Stage Play, the Rope hanging the Armor aged, and the heavy Armor fell Downwards when they passed by. And the clothes of that actress named Rose were hooked by a Nail. It was Ran who rushed up at the most critical moment and rescued Rose before Rose was hit by the Armor.
As a result, Rose then Murdered the male actor Keith during the Performance of the Stage Play.
He asked His Mom to Deduce at that Time, and made Rose admit her Crime of Murder.
And when Rose was taken away by the Police, she turned her head and Said something to Ran:
"In any case, God still favors me. When the Armor fell, my Costume happened to be hooked by a Nail. Fortunately, she Helped me, so I escaped a disaster…"
"Thank You, lovely angel, it's all Because of your Help that my wish was able to be realized…"
That Day, the ugliness of those actors harboring ulterior motives, Rose's laughter when she left, and Ran's appearance of standing in Original Place in a daze and lost in Spirit, he remembered all of that vividly.
Ran also had a Cold and Fever at that Time. Because this Memory was really not pleasant, after waking up, she selectively forgot about that trip to America.
However, Ran Said before that she had Seen Sharon… Apart from that Time, Ran should not have Seen Sharon, right? Has she already Recalled something?
"Ah?" Conan frowned and pondered, suddenly feeling a Coldness on his Forehead. He raised his eyes and Saw a slightly cool Hand placed on his Forehead.
"Your Expression is very Weird," Chi Feichei Saw Conan regain his senses and withdrew his Hand, "Not just generally Weird."
"Ahahaha, it's nothing…" Conan Acting Cute and laughed dryly for a while, then quickly looked troubled, "I'm worried that Ran will feel Sad Because of this inside story."
Putting aside whether Ran has Recalled that Incident, if the Same Thing happens again this Time, Ran will probably be able to Recall the Things that happened after meeting Sharon that year, and know that Akai Shuichi is FBI.
Chi Feichei 'Uh-huh' acknowledged, melancholic Woman are more likely to get into a dead end, "Later, you handle the Reasoning, I'll find an Excuse to have her Keep Company me to get Things in the Car in the Parking Lot."
"Is it convenient for you to leave?" Conan asked.
With Chi Feichei following, there was no need to worry about Ran returning halfway Because of some Accident and accidentally hearing it. It was more reliable, but Chi Feichei's Suspicion was still not low now, and Police Officer Heng Gou Jugo, who was not familiar with them, might not be willing to let Chi Feichei leave the Dining Room.
"It's okay, I'll sneak away with Ran while they're not paying attention."
Chi Feichei also felt that Heng Gou Jugo would not let people go, but no matter what, he had to leave with Ran.
He suddenly Thought of one Matter:
Ran took his Cold Medicine, and may not have a Fever and faint. The American Incident that should have been Recalled may not be remembered.
But if there is an inside story in this Case, Ran is stimulated in a similar way, and it is very likely that she will think of the Incident that happened after meeting Sharon that year and know that Akai Shuichi is FBI Allies.
It seems that everything is destined, and there is an invisible Rule Chain that arranges and plans everything.
He had a Premonition that if he let Ran go to the Parking Lot alone, Ran would definitely return for some Reason, and Recall the American Case through stimulation, correcting the Change of Rail Tracks brought about by his providing Cold Medicine.
Heavens seemed determined to send Conan a Clue—that Man wearing a Black Yarn hat, Akai Shuichi, who was wandering around the Vicinity of Mori Detective Agency, was FBI Allies.
He was also happy to See the Full Moon Night Incident proceed in its Original Direction, and it was also necessary for Conan to grasp some Important Clues, but he didn't want to use this Method where he was also calculated into it.
Simply put, he felt that he was Routined by Fate again, he was unhappy, and wanted to Counterattack…
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 640 Only Routine Can Break Routine
Conan nodded, agreeing with Hissashi's plan, and asked, "Then do you know who the culprit is?"
"The Waiter who served the Peking Duck," Hissashi said, "He was also the one who brought the Ashtray to Mr. Kawabata. He served the Roast Duck himself, perhaps to confirm whether the Ashtray had been wet by the soup and whether the plan had succeeded, or perhaps to put himself on the list of suspects and undergo the first Toxin test with the Food to eliminate suspicion. I went to the Kitchen and the Staff Room before and found Edible Glue in the Cabinet where he put his Work Uniform, as well as suspicious Fragments, probably Wafer Paper Fragments. I didn't touch them to avoid leaving any Trace. You can ask the Forensic Personnel to check it..."
Committing a crime under Conan's nose and still wanting to not leave any Evidence? Dream on.
Besides this, the source of the Wafer Paper and Edible Glue can also be investigated.
This is a restaurant, and he guessed that Fellow probably got it from a Warehouse or something.
Wafer Paper is rarely used in dishes. The only thing that would use Wafer Paper here is probably Tanghulu. There probably aren't many people who can come into contact with Wafer Paper, so it should be easy to lock down.
"Moreover, it's very inconvenient to wear Gloves to paste Wafer Paper under the Ashtray. He probably wasn't wearing Gloves at the time," Conan stroked his chin and took over the conversation, "If the same components as the Wafer Paper and Edible Glue in his Cabinet are found under the Ashtray, and his Fingerprint is found on the Wafer Paper Fragments and Edible Glue bottle in the Cabinet, it can prove that he glued Wafer Paper under the Ashtray. In addition, he should have avoided other people and taken things like the Ashtray to the Men's Restroom to prepare. As long as the Wafer Paper residue in the Toilet Drain tests positive for Cyanide reaction, it can also prove that he not only glued Wafer Paper under the Ashtray, but also applied Poison. As for whether it was him or Mr. Isogami who caused Mr. Kawabata's Death..."
"Check the Fingerprint on the Poisoned part under the Turntable," Hissashi said, "As long as Mr. Kawabata's Fingerprint is not found, it can prove that Mr. Kawabata did not touch the Toxin applied by Mr. Isogami."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart.
Two people committing crimes, one succeeding and one failing... He had seen this Situation before, but this time Kaizo Isozaki's Actions were too much. He not only attacked the Victim, but also switched the Wet Towel, which almost caused a loophole in his Deduction.
Although Kaizo Isozaki didn't succeed, it counts as Attempted Murder, and he will also be charged with obstructing the Police Investigation, but fortunately the Truth is revealed, the True Culprit has been found, and the Evidence has also been found.
There is only one Question...
"Brother Chi," Conan looked up at Hissashi, "Did you turn the Turntable because you found Mr. Isogami's Behavior suspicious and the Location of those two dishes was wrong, and wanted to prevent something from happening?"
"Who knows," Hissashi walked towards the Dining Room, and said his unprophetic truth, which Conan didn't believe, "Action."
Who knows? What kind of answer is that?
Conan glanced at Hissashi's Figure with Half-Moon Eyes, and quickly froze again, and followed him to the Living Room.
The order of events at that time was: the soup spilled, Mouri Ran Get Up, Shiro Kawabata Get Up with a Wet Towel to wipe his Pants, Shiro Kawabata put his arm around Ran's Shoulder to change Seats, and Shiro Kawabata went back to get his Cutlery and Ashtray.
Therefore, Ran should not have been contaminated with Toxin. Those contaminated with Toxin were Shiro Kawabata's original Towel, Cutlery, Finger, and Ashtray.
Kaizo Isozaki swapped his poisonous Wet Towel with the Deceased, but he didn't know that some Toxin also remained on the Deceased's Wet Towel.
Although no one dares to eat in the restaurant now, and the Police will stop them, if Kaizo Isozaki touches other Things again, and other people touch them and also get contaminated with Toxin, maybe one or two smokers will be unlucky...
...
Back in the Dining Room, Hissashi found Ran.
"Ran, Conan said he's Cold, can you Keep Company me to the Parking Lot to get the Coat in the Trunk?"
Conan who followed: "..."
Okay, he'll take the blame.
"Conan feels Cold?" Ran looked at Conan, and seeing Conan obediently Nod, she smiled helplessly, "Then you stay here and don't run around, okay? Brother Hichiji and I will go get you a Coat..."
"Okay~"
Conan responded obediently, and when Ran and Hissashi left, he turned around and gave Old Dad a shot.
Ran didn't notice Mori Kogoro who started swaying behind her, "Brother Hissashi, can we leave the Hotel now?"
Hissashi: "Sneak away."
Ran: "..."
The two took advantage of the Police's inattention and slipped out of the Hotel.
Before reaching the Parking Lot, Ran suddenly Stop, quickly flipped through her Pocket, "Oops! Brother Hissashi, my Mobile Phone seems to have dropped in the Hotel..."
Hissashi: "..."
As expected, it's Fate's Routine.
"That Mobile Phone is very Important," Ran turned her Head anxiously to Look Towards the direction of the Hotel, "Because... because..."
Because that Mobile Phone was given to her by Shinichi.
If she loses her Mobile Phone, even if Shinichi doesn't blame her, she will feel guilty.
"The Parking Lot isn't far away. I'll run over to get the Coat, and then go back to Help you find it together." Hissashi didn't wait for Ran to finish 'because', and Turn Around and ran towards the Parking Lot.
At This Time, if he said 'go get the Coat first', it would seem very unkind, and Ran might even propose 'you go get the Coat, I'll go back and look first'.
So, take the initiative, only Routine can break Routine!
First of all, having someone Help find it is definitely better than finding it alone. This is a habitual Thought. 'Help you find it together' is easy for Ran to accept, and she will feel that waiting for a while is more worthwhile and willing to stay and wait.
Secondly, his Performance of a little urgency can also make Ran feel that he is also anxious, and not leave him alone and go back in advance.
Saying So will not hurt the Relationship for the sake of delaying Time. In addition, not giving Ran a chance to speak will probably make Ran stay in Original Place.
People who have their Personality figured out are really too easy to predict their Behavior and Actions.
Of course, Hissashi didn't deliberately delay Time. After running to the Parking Lot, he took a Coat from the Trunk of the Car and ran back to the Place where Ran was waiting for him.
Ran was originally waiting anxiously, but seeing Hissashi running back and forth, she felt a little embarrassed, "Sorry, Brother Hissashi, it's all my fault for being careless..."
"It's okay." Hissashi didn't run anymore, but his pace was still a little faster, "Don't worry, if someone picks it up, they should return it to you, and the Police are still sealing off the Hotel now, even if someone picks up the Mobile Phone and doesn't return it, they can't put it anywhere else, it will always be found."
Ran quickly followed, and hearing Hissashi Say So, she felt much more at ease, "Y-Yeah, Also Correct..."
Hissashi didn't speak anymore.
If Ran went back by herself just now, it would take about 10 minutes to reach the Hotel on foot, but Ran might run, and it would take about 5 or 6 minutes to arrive. Because she was in a hurry, she probably wouldn't avoid the Police sealing off the Entrance of the Hotel when running back.
When he ran to the Parking Lot to get the Coat and ran back, it took about 5 minutes to wait. Plus, Ran wouldn't run back with him in a hurry. Even if they speeded up their pace, it would probably take another 8 minutes. With him following, Ran probably wouldn't directly run in, and it would take Time to avoid the Police at the Hotel Entrance and sneak back in...
The whole Process can be delayed for at least 10 minutes.
When they came out, they walked very slowly and had to avoid the Police to sneak out, which took about 12 minutes. In total, it's 22 minutes. As long as Conan doesn't show off any Method demonstration again, it should be enough.
Moreover, it would take about twenty minutes for them to walk down normally. Conan should be able to control the Time... Should be, right?
Hissashi was really a little worried about the Famous Detective who forgets himself as soon as he Deductions.
At the Hotel Entrance, two Police Officers stood behind the Police Line.
Hissashi and Ran went around to Aside, and took advantage of the two Police Officers' inattention to sneak to the Rear, but when the two quickly entered the Door, the Zipper of the Coat in Hissashi's Hand rubbed against the Door Frame of the Main Gate.
"Crack..."
The sound was slight, but enough for people nearby to hear clearly.
Hassashi: "..."
It suspects that Master did it Intentionally!
Ran froze, Stop, Turn Head and Look Once Seeing, and sure enough, the two Police Officers standing behind the Police Line Turn Head and looked over.
Hissashi had already Turn Around before the two Police Officers Turn Around, facing the two Police Officers.
The two Police Officers thought the two were coming out from inside, and asked curiously.
"Is Mr. Mouri's Reasoning over?"
"It's a Regret, I also really wanted to see Famous Detective Mori Kogoro's Deduction Show."
Just as the people in the Dining Room were walking out in a rush.
Ran and Hissashi stepped aside together to make way, watching the Police take Kaizo Isozaki and the Waiter who served the Roast Duck away.
Conan followed behind, took out a Mobile Phone from his Pants Pocket and handed it to Ran, "Ran, here! Your Mobile Phone fell under the Seat. I just happened to See it and picked it up for you."
Ran took the Mobile Phone, checked it and found it was not broken, and breathed a long Sigh of relief, "That's great."
Conan also quietly breathed a Sigh of relief in his Heart.
He found Ran's Mobile Phone fell under the Chair during the Deduction Process.
He guessed that Ran must be very anxious and might come back halfway to find it, so he quickly sped up the Deduction Speed, and didn't demonstrate the Method again, and directly asked the Forensic Personnel to present the Evidence.
Looking at the Situation, Hissashi and Ran should have just entered the Door, and didn't let Ran hear those inside Matters.
Fortunately, fortunately...
Although he didn't know how Hissashi dragged on for so long, and how he stopped Ran from returning halfway, it was really the right Decision to let Hissashi go with her.
Hissashi Step Forward and threw the Coat to Conan, "Put it on."
Conan: "..."
If Hissashi could be gentler when he was full of emotion and lingering fear, or could show the same 'relief' look as him, and secretly communicate with him about the thrill just now, it would be even more perfect.
After Ran put away her Mobile Phone, she asked curiously, "By the Way, Conan, is the Culprit Mr. Isogami?"
"Seemingly so," Conan wrapped Hissashi's spare Coat tightly, pretending to be an Elementary School Student and Acting Cute, "Because Uncle rambled on for a long Time, and I felt Cold again, so I sat behind the Table in the Corner and waited for you to come back. I didn't hear clearly what was going on in this Case."
Ran squatted down, touched Conan's Forehead, and smiled at Conan, "It doesn't Seemingly be hot, so you shouldn't be sick. Although it's Summer now, and the Temperature is usually very High, it will get Cold after it rains. Be Careful of catching a Cold recently!"
Hissashi leaned against the Corridor Wall, listening to the Topic turning to recent Weather, Colds, flu, School Exams, and where to go for summer vacation, and lowered his Head to send a UL Message to Odagiri Toshiya with his Mobile Phone.
The idea of the Onmyoji Series movie is good. Now that the Investor is dead, he wants to let Odagiri Toshiya take a Look and see if he can negotiate with the Original Author to get all the Copyright in hand.
Make a movie? No, adding a lot of Monsters from Legends and Tales of the Strange is more Suitable for making a TV Drama.
Although there is a chain of contempt in the Film and Television Industry, the grade of movies is always higher than that of TV Dramas, and there are gaps in cost, Plot, and Actors, but it does not Mean that TV Dramas cannot make Making Money.
And you can also try to promote the Newcomer who just signed and the Actors who can't become popular. First use TV Dramas to attract fans. If their Acting Skill is okay, it's not impossible to make movies of the same series.
To put it bluntly, it is to operate 'Onmyoji' as an IP. Anime, Merchandise, Games, and Theme Park can all be Considered.
How much Making Money can be made depends on how dark Odagiri Toshiya's Heart was when he initially negotiated...
