Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Not long after Koishi Yumeiko was taken away by the doctor, Officer Megure and the others arrived here in a police car.

Officer Sato and the others cordoned off the entire scene and gathered all the people participating in the discussion together. Officer Takagi and Officer Chiba held notebooks in their hands and began to ask them one by one where they were and what they were doing at the time.

Imaguchi stood aside to protect Ayumi and the others, but they were soon discovered by Officer Takagi and the others.

"Mr. Imaguchi, why are you and Mitsuhiko here? Since you are all here, what about Conan?" Officer Takagi was a little surprised to see them, but he quickly reacted and looked around.

"Conan was still here just now, but he ran out just after Ishi Yumeko was taken away by the doctor. I don't know where he is now, but he should still be in this house." Imaguchi said heartily.

"That's it. Let me make a record for you first! Mr. Imaguchi, why are you here today? When did you arrive? Did you find out what happened to the victim? When Koishi Yumeiko's accident happened, you roughly Where are you?" Because Imaguchi and the others are all acquaintances and are very familiar with the process of recording, Officer Takagi no longer asked questions one by one like he did with other witnesses, but asked the questions in one go. .

"We are here today to participate in a comic discussion. The time we got here was before 3:30. I checked the time here. As for Miss Yumeiko, we did have contact with her before. When we first came here , we were standing at the door chatting, and happened to meet Miss Yumeiko, so we exchanged a few words.

Later, Ms. Yumeko seemed to be called away by her boyfriend, and we have been attending seminars since then, and it seems that we have never seen each other again. "Imaguchi felt a little unsure. He was too busy listening to other people's discussions and didn't notice whether Koishi Yumeko was there at the time.

"Yes, Sister Yumeiko also participated in the discussion later, but she stayed for a short while and then left. The next time I saw her was when she was poisoned." Haibara Ai said, she noticed Xiaoshi Yumeko at that time After leaving, Koishi Yumeiko seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable at the time.

"Haihara, did you see Yumeko Koishi leave at that time? Can you tell me what time it was? Did anything special happen at that time?" Officer Takagi bent down and asked.

"Well, just halfway through the discussion, Sister Yumeiko seemed to be feeling unwell. I saw her take out a bottle of spray from herself and wanted to inhale it. But the bottle of spray seemed to be gone. She She shook the bottle, then turned around and headed in the direction of the room where she was poisoned." Haihara Ai recalled the situation at that time, and after making sure there were no omissions, he closed his mouth.

"Is that so?" Officer Takagi nodded thoughtfully while writing down what Haihara Ai said in his notebook.

In other words, the spray Yumeko Koishi sprayed at that time was probably not the one she carried with her, but the medicine she put in the room for backup.

For some unknown reason, the spray she carried with her was gone, and the spare medicine in the lounge was replaced.

But there are many people who can do this. A lot of people came to the comic discussion today, and there are no restrictions on the lounge. It can be said that everyone can enter. The key is that there is no surveillance in that room, so even if someone changes Yumeko Koishi's medicine, there is no way to determine who it is.

"And when Sister Yumeiko's accident happened, no one went to the lounge at that time, because at that time most people were gathered in the lobby to discuss. I could see the direction of the lounge from where I was sitting, except for the witness Other than the one, no one else has been to the lounge." Mitsuhiko said the same.

"After Miss Yumeko's accident happened, Conan rushed over immediately, and we also followed. Apart from us and the witness, especially there was no one else around." Imaguchi Kokoro called at that time Sometimes I walked around in a circle, but no second person was found in the entire corridor.

"Okay, I understand." Officer Takagi nodded. After questioning Imaguchi and the others, he already knew something.

"Officer Takagi, how is sister Yumeiko? Is she seriously poisoned?" Ayumi looked at Officer Takagi worriedly. Sister Yumeko's condition was very bad before. She kept vomiting blood, and looking at Conan and Xiao Ai, I knew she must have been seriously poisoned!

"We don't know this yet, but we have sent her to the hospital in time. I hope she will be fine!" Officer Takagi shook his head gently, but he knew in his heart that as long as 2~3ml of chlorine is taken in, it is enough to cause death. She was poisoned, and Koishi Yumeko had inhaled chlorine as a medicine at the time, so she probably took more than that.

Whether she survives depends on God's will.

"Yeah." Ayumi nodded.

Officer Takagi held the book in his hand and continued to question other people. Imagouchin took them aside, let them sit on the sofa to rest, and poured them a few glasses of water.

"Don't worry, Miss Yumeiko will be fine. Don't worry too much. Just drink some water!"

"Brother Imaguchi, why did Sister Yumeko get poisoned? She has such a good character, so she should have no enemies." Ayumi said dully, holding water in her hand, lowering her head. Although today is just the first time we meet, from what we said before, we can feel that Sister Yumeiko must have a good personality, lively and cheerful. How could someone poison her?

Moreover, it is an occasion like this. Logically speaking, the people attending the discussion are all strangers and do not know each other, so there should be no conflicts. So how do they know that Sister Yumeiko has asthma and needs to take medicine? And you also know where Sister Yumeiko’s medicine is kept?

"Brother Imaguchi, do you think this is an acquaintance handling the case?" Mitsuhiko said thoughtfully. The stranger probably doesn't know Yumeko's sister. He doesn't know that she has asthma, and he doesn't know where her medicine is kept. Only acquaintances would know this, and among the people present, the only one who was familiar with Yumeiko...

"Sister Yumeiko's boyfriend!" the three children shouted together.

After finishing speaking, they looked at each other, and they were both very sure that the answer was correct. If anyone present knew Yumeiko very well, it might be the boyfriend who called her away before.

The three children felt that they had found the real culprit who poisoned Koishi Yumeko. Before Haibara Ai and Imaguchi could stop them, they ran to Officer Sato and Megure and told them their guesses.

After listening to the three children's well-founded guesses and reasoning, Officer Megure and Officer Sato looked at each other and nodded. Officer Sato stopped Officer Takagi who was questioning other forum members, and then together they went to find Koishi Yumeko's boyfriend.

……

"How's it going?" Officer Megure asked, looking at the man brought back by Officer Sato and the others.

"This person is not Koishi Yumeiko's boyfriend, but her good friend, a girl, who came to accompany her to the seminar today by cosplaying as a boy.

Although the two are friends, because Koishi Yumeko usually has a stronger personality and her condition is better controlled, the other party did not know that she had asthma and always thought that the spray she sprayed was to soothe her throat or gargle. . "Officer Sato shook his head.

"sure?"

"She probably didn't lie." Officer Takagi nodded.

"I really didn't know that Yumeiko had asthma. When we usually play together, we play more openly. Yumeiko plays crazier than me. She doesn't play anything like pirate ships, rapids, disco, etc. She would even skydive when she fell, and I had no idea she was sick.”

Hayakawa Kawako still can't believe that Koishi Yumeko, who is usually so healthy and energetic, has been poisoned, and now her life or death is unknown.

And she actually has asthma. They have known each other for two or three years, but she has never known about it.

Officer Megure and the others looked at each other, and it seemed that Hayakawa Kawako really didn't know that Koishi Yumeko had asthma.

"Is there anyone else in this discussion who knows Koishi Yumeko and is very familiar with her, and may know about her illness?" Officer Megure asked.

"I don't know if other people know that Yumeiko has asthma, but Yumeiko does have a few people she knows here." Hayakawa Kawako nodded.

According to Hayakawa Kawako, there were four people at the scene who knew Koishi Yumeko. Apart from herself, the first one is the organizer of this discussion, Miki Koji, who is also the playmate of Koishi Yumeko who grew up together. The two families have a very close relationship. It can be said that the two grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

However, due to some changes at home when the two were in junior high school, Sanxi Xiaoji's family moved away, and the two lost contact. It was not until Sanxi Xiaoji returned to work here last year that the two got in touch again. Because they have the same hobbies, they have a relatively close relationship. Friendship comes first, not lovers.

The second person is Kihara Toshiko, who was Koishi Yumeko's former junior high school and high school classmate, and was also a good friend at the time. Later, the two separated for several years due to study reasons, and they only met again recently.

Kihara Toshiko didn't have much interest in comics, so she was forced to join in the fun by Koishi Yumeko.

The third person is Norota Saburo, a friend that Koishi Yumeko met online. The two have been chatting together for several years. They can be said to be relatively familiar friends, but they have never met before.

The reason why I came to the seminar today is partly because of my hobby, and partly because I want to meet people and get to know each other.

The two have just met, and they feel pretty good about each other, so there shouldn't be any conflict.

After Hayakawa Kawako finished speaking, Officer Chiba also brought the three people she mentioned to Officer Megure and the others.

Officer Megure looked at the two men and one woman in front of him and winked at Officer Takagi. Officer Takagi and the others nodded, and then began to question the three of Sankikoji.

"Mr. Miki/Toshiko Kihara/Tasaburo Nomura, what is your relationship with Ms. Yumeko Koishi? What were you doing when the crime occurred?" Facing the inquiries of the three police officers from Takagi, the three of Mikikoji sat there honestly and answered. road.

"Yumiko and I grew up together. Later, when I was in junior high school, my father's job changed, so my family moved to another city, and we lost contact with Yumeko. It wasn't until I was admitted to a university here a few years ago to study here. , and then met Yumeiko, and slowly returned to their previous appearance.

When Yumeiko's accident happened, I was hosting the discussion and didn't pay attention to her condition. "Sanxi Xiaolu thought for a while and said with some sadness.

"Do you know the time when Koishi Yumeiko's accident happened? Why are you so sure that you were hosting the discussion when she was in the accident?" Officer Takagi stared at Mikikoji with sharp eyes, and Mikikoji shook his head, "Because I am the organizer today. I'm in charge of everything here, and I've been busy organizing things here all day.

After the people arrived, I was busy greeting other people and hosting the discussion. I was always in front of people, so when something happened to Yumeiko, I should also be hosting the discussion. "

Officer Takagi looked at the records in his notebook and nodded. Indeed, many people mentioned Sanxi Xiaoji in their records. And although there is no surveillance in the lounge, there is in the lobby. Sanxi Xiaoji appears in the surveillance from beginning to end, and is surrounded by people.

Even when I go to the toilet, there are people around me.

"Did you know that Koishi Yumeko has asthma?" Officer Takagi asked casually while holding a notebook, but he already had the answer in his mind. Since they were childhood sweethearts, they must have known about it, but before Officer Takagi finished writing, Mikikoji shook his head.

"I do not know."

Officer Takagi looked at Mikikoji in surprise. Since the two grew up together and were already in junior high school when they separated, they knew a lot of things. The fact that Koishi Yumeko has asthma should have been hidden from Mikikoji. How could he not know?

"Although Yumeiko and I have known each other since childhood, she did not have asthma when she was a child. Although she sometimes gets sick, she does not have this problem. I can guarantee this.

If she really had asthma at that time, I must have known about it. After all, there are many places that asthma can't go to, and Yumeiko and I went to the flower fields together. "Sanxi Xiaoji saw the surprised look in Officer Takagi's eyes, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Although they were childhood sweethearts, it didn't mean that he knew everything about the other person. After all, there were several years between the two. He didn't particularly know what happened to Yumeko after he left.

"So, Yumeiko's asthma started after you left?"

"Yes." Sanxi Xiaolu nodded.

Officer Takagi's eyes lit up. This was a clue that could rule out many things. They all subconsciously thought that Koishi Yumeiko's asthma must have been present since childhood, but they never thought that her asthma was acquired.

In this case, the scope of the murderer will be smaller, mainly those who have the opportunity to know that Koishi Yumeiko has asthma.

Of course, if Sanxi Xiaoji said he didn’t know about this matter, it would still have to be determined.

……

Facing Officer Sato's question, Kihara Toshiko bit her lip, took a breath, and then answered.

"Yumiko and I were classmates in junior high school and high school, and we were also very good friends. Later, after graduating from high school, Yumeko became a model and idol, and I continued to go to school, and the contact between us gradually disappeared. .

It wasn't until a few months ago when I came to work here that I happened to meet Yumeiko, and then I learned that she had quit her previous job and was now working as a model full-time. Because we met again, we added our contact information, and we became familiar with each other again after going back and forth. She also brought me to today's discussion meeting, wanting me to relax.

I should have been wandering around the venue when Yumeiko's accident happened! After arriving here, Yumeiko asked me to take a look around, and then went to work. I didn't have the nerve to disturb him, so I just kept wandering around in the discussion room. "Kihara Toshiko thought hard, and after finishing speaking, she lowered her head and looked at her fingers.

"Did you know that Yumeko has asthma?" Officer Sato asked.

"I... know." Kihara Toshiko hesitated for a second, then nodded, "Yumiko suddenly couldn't breathe in the school. After being sent to the infirmary, she found out that she had an asthma attack because she accidentally smelled The strong fragrance of jasmine caused asthma attacks, and many people saw it at that time, so the school specially removed those flowers with a particularly strong fragrance and replaced them with winter jasmine."

"Then do you know what medicine she usually takes? Where are her medicines kept?"

"I don't know. We haven't seen each other for many years. I don't know much about this." Kihara Toshiko shook her head.

……

"I am a friend of Youmeiko's online. We have been chatting online for two or three years. We have a good relationship because we have many common topics, but we have never met in person before.

This time, we both like comics and decided to hold the discussion here. Since this place is not far from where we both live, and we have been chatting for a long time, we made an appointment. Come along and meet in person.

The result of the face-to-face interview was as we expected. We all have the same interests and hobbies, and we chatted very harmoniously.

As for where I was when Yumeiko's accident happened, I don't know when she had the accident, but I was in the lobby chatting and gossiping with other comic fans. "Tasaburo Nomura scratched his head on the chair, frowned and thought, and then looked at Officer Chiba and said.
