Conan, My Neighbor Kurosawa Jin

Looking at the picture on his phone, Imaguchi immediately thought of where the picture was taken, and also realized what the familiar pattern he had seen before was.

"Officer Megure, I have indeed seen this pattern and I recognize it." Imaguchi put down his phone and nodded.

Officer Megure and the others were very excited when Imaguchi said that he knew what the pattern was.

After all, this pattern is not just the previous case, but a clue in a series of serial cases.

This case has been going on for a long time. As early as five or six years ago, there was a case in which the deceased was a young woman who suddenly died of poisoning one day. The police investigated all the circumstances around her and quickly caught the suspect.

But there is a suspicious point in the case, which is this pattern. This pattern once appeared around the deceased, but no one paid attention to it at the time.

The investigation was not continued after the suspect was brought to justice, but a similar case suddenly appeared just a few years later. This time the victim was a man who was also poisoned and comatose, but the amount of medicine in his body was smaller, so he did not die, but he never woke up.

The suspect was quickly arrested, but the deceased also had this pattern around him, and the suspect also didn't know it.

The police investigated for a long time, but never found anything, so they had to suppress the matter.

Until last month, another case was discovered. This time, the deceased and the pattern also appeared. Although the suspect was arrested, Officer Megure was eager to know what the pattern was and what it meant.

Could it be that there is some evil sect?

Or does it represent some kind of message, the provocation of the murderer behind the serial killings?

Seeing the serious looks in the eyes of Officer Megure and others, Imaguchi no longer had any intention of joking, and honestly told what he knew.

"This is the pattern of a plant leaf, no, it should be said to be a special leaf.

The leaves of this tree are very beautiful, with beautiful texture and fragrant smell, so people often play with them.

The leaf itself is not poisonous, or the amount of poison is very small and does no harm. I would often pick this kind of leaves when I was a child, and the photos on my phone are the ones I took before. "

If they hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered it clearly. After all, he hadn't seen this kind of tree for a long time, and he hadn't played with it for a long time, so his memory had already been blurred.

"It's not poisonous? Then why were they all poisoned to death?" Officer Memu touched his chin. If it was not poisonous, why were all three of them poisoned to death? Why were the three of them surrounded by this kind of tree pattern.

"This kind of leaf itself is not poisonous, but it is relatively sensitive to poison. As long as it is contaminated with something poisonous, the leaves will change, add poison, and even produce new poisons.

Since all three people died of poisoning, it is very likely that the prisoner poisoned them and then touched the leaves, and then the leaves changed. Not only did they quickly die from the poison, but they also imprinted the leaves' patterns on their sides. "

"Is that so? Where is this tree? You must find it. It's too dangerous!" You can't touch poison, otherwise it will poison people. This tree is too dangerous and must be strictly guarded!

"This kind of tree is very rare. I only saw it when I was a child. After I moved away, I seldom came back, so I haven't seen it in many years." Imaguchi waved his hand inwardly, but did not tell the name of the tree. Information, after all, he has only seen a few trees like this for so many years, and they are all in the same place.

As for the place where the tree grew, he couldn't say, because he had only seen this kind of leaves on the mountain near the organization's research institute before, which was the territory of the organization.

Although he didn't know if the organization had changed locations after so many years, he didn't dare to gamble on the probability and let the police directly block the organization's door.

However, there are actually people who are poisoned by this kind of leaf. Is it because they are unlucky and happened to encounter this kind of leaf somewhere else, or are they related to the organization?

Today, I am secretly vigilant in my heart. If it is related to the organization, then the matter may not be solved so easily.

"That's it. Then do you remember where you saw this kind of tree before?" Officer Megure was a little unwilling to give up.

"I was too young at the time and can't remember clearly. I only know that it was over in Kagoshima, but I don't know exactly where it was." Imaguchi shook his head inwardly.

"Imaguchi, why do you still keep this leaf pattern?" Sato Miwako caught the loophole in his words.

"Actually, this pattern is not the original look of the leaves. The original leaves are actually very simple and look relatively common.

The leaves that look like this in the picture are actually post-processed. Soak the leaves in a kind of juice, and it will emit fragrance and can be printed with patterns, and the printed patterns will be very beautiful.

Whether it's the pictures on my phone or what you, Officer Megure, showed me, they are all what the leaves look like after processing. When I left at a young age, I took some pictures of ordinary things as souvenirs, and this picture is one of the few that has been preserved to this day.

I thought the pattern looked better, but I was worried that I might accidentally lose it when I moved, so I took a picture and saved it in my phone. However, this happened a long time ago, and as time went by, I gradually forgot about it. . "Imaguchi was not lying. When he left, he took some photos with him. Later, he never settled down, causing some photos to be accidentally scratched or lost.

He didn't want these pictures to disappear like this, so he made a backup copy of the photos. If any one was lost, he would develop a new one. However, there were some pictures that were special, so he only dared to save them on the USB flash drive and did not dare to take them out at all, for fear of being encountered by people from the organization.

And this picture is one of them. When Imaguchi was a child, I thought the picture looked good, so I took it, but as I got older, I didn’t like it so much. So when the photos were lost later, he did not reprint them, but only stored them on his mobile phone.

Later, I took more pictures, and this picture got stuck in the middle. I didn’t want to print it out, but I also didn’t want to delete it, so I gradually ignored this picture.

But after all, I had seen it several times before, otherwise I would not have been able to remember this leaf after so many years.

"That's it. There's nothing we can do about it. We can't find the direction we're looking for."

"Officer Megure, maybe you have made the problem too complicated." Imaguchi looked at their disappointed eyes and spoke suddenly.

"?" Officer Megure and the others looked at Imaguchi in confusion.

"The leaves themselves are not poisonous or the content is very small, and it is impossible to kill people, so the reason why those people were poisoned was due to other reasons.

For example, someone poisoned them, and they happened to have this kind of leaf on them, which caused the poison to be catalyzed, allowing them to be poisoned in advance. Because of contact with poisonous things, the leaves changed their shapes, and the texture of the leaves was imprinted on the things. Since you have caught the murderer, there is no need to find out where the leaves came from. "

Although this tree is not very common, it does not mean that there are only a few trees in Japan. They might have brought the leaves back through some means, and they were poisoned, which led to their death.

It's just that it was too much of a coincidence, so it was misunderstood, because their death was related to the leaves, but in fact it didn't have much to do with it. Even if there were no leaves, it would just be a delay in the onset of the poison.

But because the poison spread so quickly, the murderer had no time to perjury and was caught by the police before he could escape. It is not known which party was more unfortunate.

After hearing what Imaguchi said, Officer Megure lowered his head and thought deeply for a while, and felt that what he said made sense.

After all, they also checked the leaves later. Although the leaves contained poisonous amounts, they were not lethal. But it was the pattern that appeared one after another and the fact that the deceased were all poisoned that made them suspicious.

Now that all the questions have been answered, there is nothing to worry about, and they can let go of their worries.

Imaguchi didn't let Officer Megure and the others send him back, but stayed where he was and waited for a while.

He just received a message from Kurosawa, saying that he had finished his work, and asked Imaguchi where his heart was and that he wanted to come see him.

This was the best news for Imaguchi, so he simply rejected the good intentions of Officer Megure and others and stood still waiting for the Kurosawa formation.

Gin and Vodka drove at a slow speed. Imaguchi waited for no more than ten minutes when he saw a familiar black car.

"Kurosawa, Uozuka, I'm over here!" Imaguchi waved his hand heartily, feeling very happy.

Seeing the car stop, Imaguchi happily opened the back door and got in. Sitting inside was Gin.

Imaguchi didn't expect that Kurosawa would be sitting in the back today, but this made him even happier.

Sitting side by side with Gin, Imaguchi started chatting with them.

"Kurosawa, do you want to take a few days off after your work this time?" Imagochi remembered that they usually take a few days off after working for a long time. This time they have worked for several days again, and they don't know what will happen. There will be no rest.

"Well, let's rest for two days." Gin nodded, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand and looking at it, looking somewhat polite.

Imaguchi didn't know what he was looking at, but he felt that the Kurosawa formation was very beautiful, with a bit more temperament than usual, and he couldn't move his eyes away.

"That's good. You've been working for more than a week this time. If you don't take a break, your boss will be too cruel." Imaguchi couldn't help complaining, although he didn't know that Kurosawa and the others were working. How to sleep.

But just because they are away for ten days and a half, and when they come back sometimes they are haggard and exhausted, I don’t know that their work is definitely not simple.

More than once, Imaguchi felt that Kurosawa and Uozuka were working too hard, to the point where Imaguchi felt embarrassed to be alone.

"What happened today?" Gin looked up and looked at Imaguchi. Although he knew the whole story of the bus robbery, he still wanted to hear what Imaguchi had to say.

"Oh, it's just a mistake. I accidentally caught a cold when I went to bed two days ago, so I have had a cold in the past two days, and I haven't been very energetic. I wanted to go to school this morning, but I accidentally got up late. I wanted to take the bus to school, but because I was too sleepy, I accidentally got on the wrong bus.

I fell asleep as soon as I got in the car and didn't notice it until later when I heard gunshots..." Imaguchi felt a little embarrassed. He was such an old man and got into the wrong car because he had a cold, and ended up doing something like this. The big thing is, it's really a bit embarrassing.

"No wonder your voice sounded a little strange today, Imaguchi." It was so strange that he almost thought it was someone else pretending to be you. Fortunately, his elder brother recognized him.

Vodka looked at Imaguchi, whose face was a little red, his voice was slightly hoarse, and his nasal sound was a little heavy, and he complained in his heart.

After the call was connected, he really didn't recognize Imaguchi's voice, which meant that his eldest brother recognized it. Otherwise, I'm afraid Imaguchi's call would have been hung up long ago as a harassing call.

"My nose feels uncomfortable and inflamed when I catch a cold, so it's often more severe than others. That is to say, my health has gotten better in the past two years. This is the first time I've caught a cold. Otherwise, you might be used to hearing the sound of my stuffy nose." Today Kouxin still prefers Tokyo, but he is still more accustomed to the quieter environment.

The sound here is too noisy, and the car exhaust and dust are relatively heavy, so his body is a little more sensitive.

"If you have a cold, I have some medicine there, which is more effective. I'll get some for you when I go back." Gin said calmly.

Vodka glanced at the rearview mirror in surprise. He didn't expect that his eldest brother would give Imikochi the medicine developed by the organization. This was something he had never seen before.

Imaguchi was also surprised by these words and quickly waved his hand. Although he wanted to get close to Mr. Kurosawa, he was still too embarrassed to take his medicine. And he knows his body well. He has taken a lot of various medicines, but the effect may not be as good as what he is used to.

"It's okay, I have medicine there..." Imaguchi was about to say something, but was frightened into silence by Gin's look.

Imaguchi scratched his mouth with his finger to indicate that he would stop talking, and Ginjiu looked away.

"That drug was developed by the company. It is a specific drug and has better efficacy." Although the organization did not develop what it wanted, those researchers did not eat for free. Many other drugs were developed. .

Among them are cold medicines, bruise medicines, hemostatic medicines, and even blue medicines and red medicines like those in the game. It doesn’t matter whether you want this medicine or not.

It's okay to eat it earlier, earlier is better, otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to look at it like this.
