At the scene, Inspector Megure was holding a small notebook and reviewing the information about the deceased with a woman next to him who was wearing a red sleeveless dress.

"The deceased is Kohei Urata, 27 years old, a doctor working at the Beika General Hospital, right?"

"Yes." The woman nodded.

"Then why did he suddenly fall down halfway through the show?" asked Inspector Megure.

"I thought he just felt unwell all of a sudden." The woman said with a look of fear, "Who knew he would collapse all of a sudden."

"Could it be that the victim drank the drink that fell next to him and fell to the ground and died?" Takagi Wataru asked, half-crouching on the ground and picking up the cup on the ground.

"This, I've been watching the show and I'm not quite sure." The woman bent down and looked at the cup in Takagi Shigeru's hand, hesitated for a moment and said.

"There's almost no drink left in it." Inspector Megure looked on the ground and saw only a few ice cubes that had not yet fully melted. There was not much left in the cup.

"By the way, what time was it when you found Mr. Urata lying down?" Officer Megure looked at the woman and asked.

"Well, the show starts at around ten o'clock." The woman thought while looking at her watch.

"He should have collapsed around 10:40," said Mao Lilan as she walked up to them.

"Ran?!" Inspector Megure was surprised to see Ran Mouri wearing a princess dress.

"Because when I heard the scream, it was probably at the climax of the whole play." Mao Lilan turned to look at 'Dr. Shinde' and said, "Right, doctor."

However, "Dr. Shinde" did not answer Mao Lilan's questions, which made Mao Lilan confused.

"Yes, this garden party was held by Xiaolan's high school." Takagi Shigeru said, recalling this incident.

"So that's it." Officer Megure quickly looked around for someone and shouted, "That guy is here too."

"Are you looking for someone, Officer Megure?" Kogoro Mouri returned to his seat, picked up his coat and put it on. Seeing Officer Megure's look, he also looked around for someone.

"I'm talking about you." Inspector Megure was speechless upon seeing this, and he thought to himself that this plague god actually brought such an unfortunate tragedy to his daughter's school.

"Well, no one approached the body just now." Inspector Megure said, one thing at a time, it is more important to solve the case first.

"Of course, Officer Megure." Maori Kogoro looked excited, as if he had returned to the past, and said, "Keeping the scene intact is the most important task before the investigation."

"No one had ever approached the body before this coroner touched it." Kogoro Mouri said, looking at the man in a white suit.

"Have you found out the cause of his death?" Takagi Wataru looked at the coroner and asked.

"Yes, I think this might be..." The coroner looked up at Takagi Shigeru and was about to speak.

A voice suddenly came.

"Potassium cyanide, right?"

"What?!" Everyone looked down at the young man in black who was squatting in front of the corpse and observing it.

"..." Xingchen looked at the young man in black and thought to himself, this accent... I see. But next time when I fake my identity, I should ask Dr. Agasa to get me a voice changer. I need to cover up my accent.

And he turned white in this way. Xingchen was very curious. Could it be that he could also change his appearance?

"I think this guy probably died of poisoning from drinking potassium cyanide." The black-haired boy lowered the brim of his hat to cover his eyes, making it difficult to see his face.

"Hey!" Officer Megure turned to look at Maori Kogoro and asked, "Didn't you just say that absolutely no one has touched this body?"

"Yes, yes. It should be like this." Kogoro Mori twitched his mouth and thought to himself, when did this guy check the corpse.

"Please, even if I don't touch the body, I can get a general idea just by looking at his appearance." The young man in black looked at them and said.

"Most people lose their color when they die, but this guy's lips and nails are not purple, but pink." The black-clothed teenager confirmed calmly, "This is evidence of potassium cyanide poisoning."

"The difference between potassium cyanide and other poisons is that after taking it, the electron transport system in the cells starts to work, and it can circulate throughout the body without using the oxygen in the blood. In this way, the blood gas becomes better."

"As long as we detect the smell of almonds in this guy's mouth, it will be potassium cyanide for sure." The young man in black explained.

"Is this the case, Coroner?" Inspector Megure asked hurriedly.

"Yes, there is indeed a taste of almonds in his mouth. Just as this young man said, I also judge that the deceased died of potassium cyanide poisoning." The coroner nodded in response.

"Hey kid, how come you know so much about this?" Maori Kogoro stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "You weren't sitting next to Mr. Putian when the crime happened, were you?"

"Much less, where is my seat?" The young man in black stood up and continued; "It's at the very end on the other side of the corridor from Mr. Putian, and this is my seat ticket."

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mouri took the note, looked at the seat number on it and frowned, feeling strange.

The young man in black approached Maori Kogoro and said, "Yes, it's the fourth seat from the uncle."

"Is that so, brother Mori?" Inspector Megure stared at Kogoro Mori and said.

"I'm sorry, I was concentrating on watching the show just now. So I didn't even know who was sitting next to me." Kogoro Mouri said, scratching his head while holding the seat note.

Officer Megure looked at Maori Kogoro speechlessly, then he turned to the black-clad boy and said, "Is there anyone who can confirm your statement?"

Because the paper tickets for seat numbers given out for stadium performances like this are too easy to forge, a witness is needed.

"Well." The young man in black thought for a while and turned to look at Xingchen. He pointed at Xingchen and said, "That kid, it's okay."

"I was sitting next to this pretty-looking kid."

"Is that so, Xiaochen?" Mao Lilan bent down and looked at Xingchen and asked.

"Well, that's true. But this person is also a suspect, because he didn't sit next to me until more than ten minutes after the plot started." Xingchen said with a cunning smile.

"..." The man in black was speechless and explained, "I went to the bathroom and passed by the door. I remember someone was guarding there. You can go and ask them and you will know."

"Brother Takagi." Inspector Megure turned his head and shouted to Takagi Wataru.

"Yes." Takagi Shigeru nodded in response.
