Chapter 81 Cause of Death
the other side.

Akikawa Sosuke was sitting near the outside of the banquet hall.
Looking from afar at the dead man, Tsunekazu Kousaka, whom he had just greeted not long ago, lying on the ground, he did not feel too surprised.

He looked at Masumi Sera who was carefully examining the body on the ground, and the Shinigami elementary school student who jumped onto a chair to examine the table.
In his heart, he began to doubt whether they could find out the real cause of Kousaka Tsunekazu's death.

Akikawa Sosuke didn't doubt the detectives' abilities.

But he knew without even looking that there wouldn't be too many clues left at the scene.

"Since the Shinigami Elementary School Student went to check the table, it means that the detectives concluded that Kousaka's cause of death might be poisoning."

"That Sera Masumi examined the deceased's mouth but could not come to a conclusion, so the corrosive toxins that would damage the oral lining tissue and the neurotoxins with obvious odor characteristics can be ruled out."

'Because this banquet does not have a unified side dish, guests are required to take their plates to the buffet table outside the banquet hall to pick up their own food.'

'So even if the other people who sat at the same table with the deceased Kosaka did not show any signs of poisoning, we cannot rule out the possibility that Kosaka was poisoned.'

'However, the self-service meal collection mode of this high-end banquet is different from that of ordinary buffet restaurants.'

'Basically all the food is "rationed" and put on the plate.'

'Plus, if you take too much food at one time, people will inevitably think you are not very elegant, so except for children with poor parenting, basically no one will take too much food at one time.'

"When Kosaka suddenly died, the banquet was already in the second half, and the food had probably been eaten up."

"In this case, even if Kousaka was really poisoned, it would be difficult to leave any traces at the scene."

Akikawa Sosuke looked at Tsunekazu Kousaka who was lying on the ground with his chest exposed.

He looked again at Soma Miho, who was sitting aside with a pale face, obviously frightened.

It’s hard to believe that this person was joking with Yoko Okino with a playful look on his face not long ago.

Actually.

Akikawa Sosuke already had a guess in his mind about the cause of death of Tsunekazu Kousaka, but he could not confirm it 100%.

If my guess is correct.

The detectives were not wrong in judging that trouble comes from the mouth.

But as to whether it was poisoning or suffocation caused by internal factors, Akikawa Sosuke was more inclined to the latter.

First of all.

Akikawa Sosuke observed Masumi Sera's reaction after observing the corpse.
Most of the causes of death of the deceased have been ruled out.

Secondly, whether it was the deceased Tsunekazu Kosaka, or Miho Soma who screamed after Tsunekazu Kosaka lost consciousness, or Ryo Sogabe who also looked grim.
Akikawa Sosuke had just greeted the guests at this table.

According to Yoko Okino's introduction, most of the guests at this table are directors, and they are obviously very familiar with each other.

And Akikawa Sosuke discovered this through observation.

The personalities displayed by these people, as well as their attitudes when they were chatting with themselves and Okino Yoko just now, were all different.

The seemingly unrelated details they inadvertently revealed may all be caused by the same reason.

But the problem is, given the current situation.

It is basically impossible to draw a conclusion just by observing the scene like Masumi Sera and Conan did.

Therefore, if we want to know whether Akikawa Sosuke's guess is correct, a forensic autopsy must be performed.

"If my guess is correct, then judging from the current situation, the possibility of an accident is actually greater."

"But the reasons behind this accident are worth exploring."

Akikawa Sosuke thought to himself, and then turned his attention to the doctor next to the deceased Tsunekazu Kosaka, Takao Ohkawa. "This doctor Ohkawa seems to know Mr. Kosaka, although they are not sitting at the same table."

Akikawa Sosuke recalled how Ohkawa Takao was the first person to rush over to give first aid after Tsunekazu Kosaka got into trouble, and thought to himself:
"Your reaction is a bit too strong, Mr. Ohga."

"As a doctor, when I see someone dying, I want to give first aid right away."

"I'm more worried that my secret will be discovered after the other person dies."

Akikawa Sosuke thought in his heart.

Then a team of emergency personnel rushed in from the door of the banquet hall and went straight to Tsunekazu Takasaka who was lying on the ground.

However, Tsunekazu Kousaka has been confirmed dead.

After reconfirming the situation, the emergency personnel did not choose to carry him on a stretcher and take him away.

After that.

A team of very familiar Metropolitan Police Department detectives also walked in from the door of the banquet hall.
-
Miwako Sato, along with detective Wataru Takagi and a group of subordinate police officers, walked towards the front of the banquet hall in a mighty manner.

After seeing Sera Masumi and Conan, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.

Miwako Sato didn't know why either.

Wherever there is a dead person, there will definitely be detectives and elementary school student Conan around.

Miwako Sato increasingly felt that the appearance of the detective might have led to the murder here.

But soon.

Miwako Sato threw away this idea in her mind that was not in line with the qualities of a detective.

This is the same as "Why do meteorites always hit craters so accurately?"

Murders don't happen because of detectives, but detectives appear because of murders.

Miwako Sato convinced herself with this reason and stopped wondering why the detective always appeared at the crime scene so accurately.

She looked at Sera Masumi and asked:
"What happened here?"

"This Mr. Kosaka suddenly collapsed while holding his neck during his meal."

Miwako Sato sent police officers from the Forensic Division to examine the body, and then looked at Masumi Sera again.

"Poisoned?"

When Miwako Sato looked at the various delicious foods on the tables around her, her first reaction was that she was poisoned.

"It could be, but it's not a corrosive toxin, or something like potassium cyanide that's common in poisoning cases."

"In addition, there were no obvious signs of poisoning in the remaining food on the table, so the specific situation may need to be confirmed after a detailed ingredient test."

"okay."

"In addition, I also observed that the patient's skin, lips and nails showed signs of paleness, which is consistent with symptoms of hypoxia."

"When we were performing first aid on the deceased, we also ruled out the possibility that the deceased was suffocated due to airway obstruction."

"So now I think the real cause of death may be internal asphyxiation."

After Sera Masumi said this to Sato Miwako, she turned and looked at the plastic surgeon Ohkawa Takao standing beside her.
