Conan: The truth lies only within the range of fire

Chapter 972: Prepare to Surrender to My Wisdom

When Inspector Megure asked if anyone on the crew could have gotten the poison, director Shigematsu Tomioka hurriedly said he didn't say that and walked away.

Inspector Megure looked at Shigematsu Tomioka's back speechlessly. It was obvious that Shigematsu Tomioka answered in this way in order to avoid getting into trouble.

Officer Takagi said to Officer Megure: "In any case, this poison should have been prepared in advance by the murderer."

Inspector Megure agreed, "Yes."

The body of Otori Daisaku has been taken away by the police, but all his personal belongings have been taken out by identification personnel.

Conan asked the forensic personnel: "Excuse me, are all the personal belongings of the assistant director Otori here?"

The forensic officer was still so honest, and answered every question from Conan: "Yes."

Conan pointed at one of the things and asked, "What is that? It's the thing that looks like a butterfly."

The forensic officer picked up the thing Conan pointed at: "This, the victim wrapped it in a handkerchief and carefully placed it in his trouser pocket."

Conan looked carefully at the thing in the forensic officer's hand, wondering what it was.

Tomioka Shigematsu saw what the forensic officer was holding and said, "You found a fun toy!"

Conan asked in confusion: "Toys?"

Tomioka Shigematsu nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen this before, but why is this thing on Odori's body?"

Conan asked, "How do you play this?"

Tomioka Shigematsu explained: "It's very simple. First, turn the wings on it, and when the rubber band is wrapped around it a few times and becomes tight, just clip it into the notebook."

The forensic officer wrapped the wings of the butterfly toy in his hand around several times to make them tighter, and then put them into the notebook in Tomioka Shigematsu's hand.

Then Tomioka Shigematsu closed the notebook and tucked it inside.

Tomioka Shigematsu called out to the god Nanako who was not far away: "God! Can you open this notebook and take a look?"

Shenming Nanako said helplessly: "It's already this hour, and you're still joking. I heard your conversation."

Shenming Nanako walked up to Shigematsu Tomioka and took the notebook from him: "Anyway, the thing I put in there just now will fly out, right? I already knew that, so how could I be scared?"

The moment Shenming Nanako opened the notebook, the butterfly toy flapped its wings and flew away.

However, Nanako was still shocked because she didn't expect the toy to be a bug: "Ah, what is this? This is too disgusting, isn't it?"

Shigematsu Fukuoka looked at the flying butterfly toy and exclaimed, "It's flying really high."

Kyogoku Makoto suddenly said in surprise: "That's the sound! It was the sound of a bug flapping its wings that I heard before Mr. Tokuen fell from the building. It was exactly the same as the sound made by the toy when it flew out just now!"

Inspector Megure snatched the butterfly toy from the forensic officer next to him and said, "In other words, the murderer placed this toy somewhere on the fourth floor at that time?"

Officer Gao Mu was surprised and said: "But according to the staff, people who like to play with this kind of trick toys are..."

Yui Eika then followed Officer Takagi's words and said, "Yes, it was Mr. Tokuen. Mr. Tokuen has a lot of trick toys like this. He often uses these to trick the female employees of the crew."

Officer Megure looked at the toy in his hand and guessed, "That is to say, there is also this possibility. Mr. Tokuen originally intended to use this toy to scare people, but he accidentally slipped..."

Conan interrupted Inspector Megure's guess: "That's too weird. Didn't you say before that Uncle Tokuen hates bugs the most? Even if he's playing a prank on someone, he wouldn't use a bug toy, right?"

Nanako agreed with Conan: "That's absolutely right. He got angry today because his false eyelashes stuck together looked like a centipede. He is really afraid of bugs and can't stand seeing things that look like bugs."

Sera Masumi walked over to Conan and said, "The toy made the sound of flapping wings. Actually, it's because the rubber band was rolled up several times. So after wrapping the rubber band, you have to use something to hold the toy down. Do you use a notebook to hold it like you did just now, or do you use something else?"

Yui Eika was puzzled and asked, "How could Assistant Director Otori have such a toy?"

Kamiya Minatsuki, who was watching the show from outside the crowd, sneered, "Just pretending to be confused."

Yuki Amami knows that Kamiya Minatsuki has already determined that Yui Eika is the murderer. Because of her preconceived notion, everything Yui Eika does now seems suspicious and she seems to be lying.

Amami Yuki looked at Kamiya Minatsuki who was not going to move, and asked in surprise: "Why, you don't want to join in the fun? Don't you like to join in the fun the most?"

Kamiya Minatsuki shook his head: "No, I won't join in the fun this time. I know you think what I said must be a blind guess. Today I will let you see the power of Science and Kogoro's elimination method. Let Youxi see it carefully, and then be prepared to surrender to my wisdom!"

The corners of Amami Yuki's mouth twitched. "Smart?" Someone who can only play Tetris by removing blocks in rows, is smart?

A forensic officer whispered a few words to Officer Takagi.

After that, Officer Takagi immediately reported to Officer Megure: "Officer Megure, we have checked Mr. Otori's milkshake, cup and straw, and no poison was detected in them!"

Upon hearing the result, Conan and Sera Masumi were both a little bit unbelievable.

Officer Megure frowned and said, "Could it be that someone switched the cup? After all, it was very chaotic at the time."

"That one was a peach and melon flavored milkshake, but no one ordered the same one as Mr. Otori."

Inspector Megure speculated again: "Is it possible that only the straw with the poison was replaced?"

Sera Masumi stepped forward and said, "I don't think that's the case. If the straw was pulled out in a hurry, the milkshake would have dripped out, but it wasn't found at the scene, and the murderer probably didn't have time to do it."

Officer Megure was a little worried and asked, "How did they poison him?"

Masumi Sera made a guess: "Based on the current situation, I think there is a possibility that Mr. Otori took the poison he prepared in advance."

The staff were all shocked.

"He, he committed suicide?"

"But why did the assistant director commit suicide?"

Everyone began to speculate on the reason why Wei Qu Da Ce committed suicide.

At this time, Yui Yingxiang made a speculation.

"Could it be that it was Assistant Director Otori who caused Mr. Tokuzono to fall from the building, and he committed suicide because he felt too guilty?"
