Conan's Beginning was Picked Up by Xiaolan

Chapter 211 Life and Death 1 Momentary Event 6

The police arrived soon, still led by Megure.

It’s the same old routine, routine questioning, investigation of interpersonal relationships, the deceased is Kohei Urata, male, 27 years old, professional doctor.

The people traveling with him were a man named Mitani Yota and two women named Honguei Mai and Noda Yumemi.

"Why did he fall down halfway through a stage play?" Megure asked the three people.

"I thought he just felt unwell suddenly, but he suddenly fell to the ground," replied Yumemi Noda.

"Could it be that the victim died after drinking the drink that fell next to him?" Takagi picked up the drink cup on the ground.

"This...I've been watching the stage play and I'm not quite sure." Noda Yumemi shook her head slightly.

"There is almost no drink left in it. By the way, what was the approximate time when you found Mr. Urata fell down?" Megure glanced at the cup, then turned around and asked.

"The stage play started at around two o'clock, um..." Noda Yumemi recalled. She really didn't care about the time.

"He should have fallen down around 2:40, because when I heard the scream, it was probably in the middle of the whole play, right, Doctor Arata?" Xiaolan spoke at this time, and then turned back to glance at the black knight.

"Ran?" Megure looked at Ran with a little surprise. Why was he here?

"Inspector Megure, are you surprised?" Koshiro suddenly spoke up, looking at Megure's expression.

"Hey, Xiaocheng!" Megure turned around and looked over, even more surprised.

"Oh! This school festival is held by Xiaolan High School!" Takagi suddenly realized.

At this time Megure also remembered it. Looking at Kogoro who was coming towards him, Megure's eyes were almost speechless. You are really a plague god!

"Inspector Megure!" Kogoro walked forward and greeted him enthusiastically.

"There shouldn't be anyone approaching the corpse just now." Megure asked with a sigh.

"Of course not, it's just that little brat Xiaocheng. But don't worry, I treated him to his favorite food, the big sandbag fist, and he became obedient immediately." Kogoro laughed.

Xiao Cheng was devastated to hear this, "What are you talking about? Lao Deng!"

"What was the cause of his death?" Takagi asked the coroner next to him while squatting beside the body.

"I'm afraid it's..."

"Potassium cyanide, right?" Heiji spoke at this time. He had noticed it when he observed the corpse before, and then he confirmed it directly in the small town.

"Why is he here too!" Megure looked at Heiji speechlessly, then looked at Kogoro. One plague god was enough, and now two of them came?

Potassium cyanide poisoning caused by ingestion of small amounts usually does not cause noticeable changes in the body's appearance, and the cause of death is similar to a sudden heart attack.

The corpse spots of people who have ingested a large amount of poison in the auricle and earlobe are mostly cherry red, and the face and lips will appear cyanotic. In cases of death caused by poisoning, the facial expression of the corpse is usually more hideous.

At the same time, potassium cyanide poisoning will also leave a bitter almond taste in the mouth.

Xiao Cheng looked at the body and it was obvious that it was a poisoning and the perpetrator must be an acquaintance. He looked at the three people who were traveling with the deceased and wondered who they could be.

"Excuse me, Mr. Urata, did he buy this drink himself?" Megure looked at the three people.

"He didn't buy it." Noda Yumemi shook her head.

"I went to buy them. I went to the drink stand over there and bought four drinks. Then I took the drinks directly to where everyone was sitting and gave the four drinks to Mr. Mitani. Then I went to the bathroom." said Hong Shang Mai.

"Then, Mr. Mitani, were you the one who handed the drink to the dead Mr. Urata just now?" Megure shifted his attention to Mitani Yota.

"No, I gave it to everyone and passed it to him slowly. At that time, it was actually Noda who handed the drink directly to Urata." said Yota Mitani.

Noda Yume was unhappy at the time: "What are you talking about! It was you who helped Dr. Urata choose the iced coffee before."

"I'm so sorry, may I ask what is the relationship between Mr. Urata and you three?" Seeing that they were about to start arguing, Takagi quickly changed the subject.

Xiaocheng listened to their explanation. To put it simply, the four of them graduated from this school, and then came back together to watch the school festival. This happened every year.

At this time, Noda Yumemi noticed Ninagawa Ayako, the daughter of their hospital director.

Heiji's eyes lit up. Now all the suspects are here.

Xiaocheng also looked over and found that Ayako Ninagawa was indeed a student of Teitan High School. She was also responsible for the drinks for the four people. She was also related to the deceased, so there was a possibility that she was the one who poisoned them.

But Xiaocheng thinks that is not the case. Putting aside the question of whether it is stupid or not, just with four drinks, the probability of the next drink happening is only one in four.

In the subsequent conversation, he was shocked by what Ninagawa Ayako said.

"I thought he would come to my place to exchange coffee with me again, and maybe he would ask me why I broke off my engagement with him in the first place."

"Engagement?" Megure was surprised.

"Yes, I had planned to marry him immediately after graduation, but I suddenly felt uneasy, so I called him last week to reject the marriage proposal. Since then, he refused to see me when I went to the hospital," said Ayako Ninagawa.

Huh? Is she speaking human language? I really understand. Sister, how old are you? You are 17 and he is 27, right? Engagement, wait, let me sort it out.

Xiao Cheng took a breath. Is it so open? You are right to be uneasy. The daughter of the hospital director is only seventeen years old and not ugly. There are too many choices.

This sudden engagement has me completely confused.

Finally, Megure asked a few more questions and planned to take four beverage cups to the forensic department for testing.

Mai Hongue took Officer Takagi and others to Urata Kohei's car to check if there was anything unusual.

"Xiaocheng, have you noticed? I think the murderer who poisoned the person is that guy." Heiji squatted next to Xiaocheng and said.

Xiao Cheng looked at him in confusion. That guy? Can you speak human language? Let me hear if it makes sense.

Xiaocheng looked at Shinichi and found that he was also looking at him and walking towards him.

What are you doing? Xiao Cheng looked at Shinichi who was squatting in front of him. He was still dressed as a knight.

"Kudo, let me tell you..." Heiji wanted to speak but was stopped by Shinichi.

"Don't say anything yet, Xiaocheng, do you smell potassium cyanide on her?" Shinichi looked at Xiaocheng. He didn't say anyone, but his eyes were looking in the direction where Hong Shang Mai took the police out.

Xiaocheng's eyes looked like he had seen a ghost. How the hell did you know that woman smelled of potassium cyanide? I only smelled it when I was next to her.

Looking at Shinichi's gaze, Xiaocheng nodded. He had specially run to the four people and smelled their scent.

And hard work pays off. Although I don’t know the method, I can roughly determine who the murderer is.

Shinichi looked at the rain outside, and he had figured it out...
