Conan's Beginning was Picked Up by Xiaolan

Chapter 341: Phantom in the Rain on Chinatown 3

"Look, this is a xiao long bao. You said it was delicious when we ate it before, right?"

Xiaolan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled. Conan should like to eat dumplings.

"..uh..hmm..." Conan nodded helplessly. Xiaolan didn't understand what I meant at all.

Looking at the xiaolongbao, I decided to just eat two first.

He looked at the soy sauce and started turning the plate on the table, intending to take it, but after turning it twice, someone turned it back to him.

Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows. A familiar yet strange smell was mixed in with the aroma of the food. He put down his chopsticks. He didn't think he had smelled it wrong.

There is indeed a strange smell on the table. This smell seems familiar. Is it potassium cyanide?

People who often take poison know that potassium cyanide is so toxic that it can cause sudden death in an instant.

The roulette wheel on the dining table was spinning, and the aroma of the food on the table greatly attracted the small town's sense of smell.

Xiao Cheng's eyes flickered, and he looked at the film's director, Isohei Uezo. Is he controlling this roulette wheel?

At this time, the waiter brought another dish, Peking Duck, which is the signature dish of this restaurant.

Shiro Kawabata watched Conan eating the dumplings and took the opportunity to start chatting with Xiaolan again, asking her if she had any idols.

"There are two people I like. One is Fujimine Yukiko. She is my friend's mother, so I have admired her since I was a child." Xiaolan answered very politely.

Shiro Kawabata was surprised, and so were the other three, but they didn't say anything because Yukiko had retired for a long time and was not even in the country.

"What about the other one?" Kawabata Shiro asked.

"The other one is the big American star Sharon Wynyard, but she passed away unexpectedly a year ago." Xiaolan felt a little regretful when she said this.

We had just met in New York a year ago.

Xiao Cheng was moved when he heard this. Sharon Wynyard was Vermouth. Because of some experiences a year ago, Xiaolan and Shinichi entered Vermouth's heart in an unexpected way.

As for his death, it was also to better disguise his daughter Chrissie Wynyard.

According to this age line, Vermouth must be about the same age as Yukiko.

It may even be bigger, but it is completely invisible in the plot. This is one of the reasons why many people at the time suspected whether Vermouth had also taken drugs similar to 4869.

But there was no explanation as to whether he had taken the medicine or not. Just as Xiaocheng was still thinking about it, Kawabata Shiro suddenly stood up with a painful look on his face.

He covered his throat with both hands. Even a fool would know that he was poisoned. It was a pity that he was poisoned by potassium cyanide, which kills people too quickly.

"Plop..." As expected, Kawabata Shiro lay down, which also meant that he would never wake up again.

"Ah!" Xiaolan screamed. The people at the table were shocked beyond words, and the curtain was raised on this murder case.

The procedure is still to call the police immediately, notify the store, and check the victim to see if it is necessary to call an ambulance. Of course, there is no need because it is already cold.

While waiting for the police to arrive, Conan trotted over to Xiaocheng and whispered something.

"Hey, Xiaocheng, what do you think?"

"It should be potassium cyanide poisoning." Xiaocheng looked at Kogoro who was simply examining the corpse, covered his mouth with his little hand and leaned towards Conan and said.

"Potassium cyanide?" Conan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. Indeed, judging from the fact that the deceased covered his throat with both hands, unless he had some illness, it was most likely a strong poison.

Potassium cyanide is a very suitable example, and this behavior also includes covering the heart, covering the head, covering the chest, etc., accompanied by a ferocious look, and finally falling to the ground and dying.

Unless you have a disease, you can choose to suspect that it is a strong poison. Simply put, ordinary poisons cannot cause sudden death in just a few seconds.

"The poison should have been placed on the roulette wheel, and the director is a strong suspect as he has been controlling the roulette wheel." Xiaocheng told Conan all his findings.

Conan listened to Xiaocheng's words, looked at Isogai Uezo, and frowned slightly.

The police arrived very quickly, in less than ten minutes. In short, the police cordoned off the scene, performed an autopsy, and forensic personnel began to collect relevant items at the scene.

Because of police control, Conan did not intervene immediately. Strictly speaking, the restaurant members and they were all suspects.

The police are gradually analyzing the cause of death from potassium cyanide poisoning, and their first suspect is what the deceased ate last.

Peking duck, unfortunately, no toxic reaction was detected, not even in the restaurant members, so the suspicion fell on them.

Fortunately, he and Conan were children, and the police did not pay attention to them. Instead, they watched the three people who made the movie and Kogoro and Ran.

Conan listened attentively at the side and began to reason from a bird's eye view, not missing any clues.

Sure enough, he found a clue. This movie originally had a female lead, but she died due to some accident, so the four of them came to this restaurant today to discuss this matter.

At this moment, Xiaolan appeared in their sight, especially when they saw Xiaolan's skills display, Kawabata Shiro immediately decided that this girl was very suitable.

This is what happened afterwards.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere?" Yokomizo Shigeo frowned. Why does this mustache look so familiar?

Kogoro looked very pleased with himself; it seemed that his fame was already known to everyone.

"Of course. Now that things have come to this, I will confess..."

"Are you a wanted criminal?" Yokomizo Shigego looked at the mustache man in front of him with some suspicion.

Kogoro was stunned for two seconds. You didn't see that? But he also explained: "No, no, I'm that Maori Kogoro."

Xiao Cheng looked at the flat-headed police officer in front of him. He felt that this face looked familiar. Where had he seen it before? Yokogawa Sango? That's right. Oh~ I remembered that he did have a younger brother.

These two are twins and both are police officers, but Yokomizo Sango is a detective from Shizuoka Prefecture, and the one in front of him seems to be a detective from Kanagawa Prefecture.

"Uncle, you look like Officer Yokomizo Sango." Koshiro looked at Yokomizo Shigego, who showed disdain in his eyes when he learned the name of Kogoro.

"Eh!" Xiaolan also realized it at this time. She also felt that it was very similar, but she had never remembered it.

"You're talking about my brother." Yokomizo Shigego glanced at Xiaocheng, who was not even half a person's height.

"You...you are my younger brother?" Kogoro opened his eyes wide, no way.

"I know my brother is a good man and has always respected you, but I'm different. From the beginning, I didn't believe that you detectives could solve the case."

Yokomizo Shigego said in a cold tone. He really didn't like these detectives. They always had their own ideas and often didn't take the police seriously.

"Team leader, a toxic reaction has been detected here." The voice of the forensic officer instantly attracted everyone's attention.
