Can you avoid Conan's anesthetic needle today?

Chapter 15 15. Cruise Ship at Sea 4

Sleeping pills were indeed detected in the body of the deceased, but they were not detected in the remaining dishes, so it is impossible to determine how the sleeping pills entered the body of the deceased.

The police only found sleeping pills in Baisha Meixi's luggage, but the ingredients were wrong. The deceased was taking benzodiazepines, while Baisha Meixi was carrying non-benzodiazepines. It seemed to be useless except for further reducing Baisha Meixi's suspicion of murder.

Rina Yonogi is checking the surveillance footage. Because she had keenly noticed the contradictions in Shirasa Miyu's confession, and with her outstanding performance as a substitute in the Okino Yoko case, Inspector Megure allowed her to participate in the investigation of the case.

It can be seen from the surveillance footage that Fujimiya Yuki first came to the deceased's room with lunch and stayed there for about five minutes. Then, more than ten minutes later, Nakamura Satoru appeared and also stayed for about five minutes.

Baisha Meixi appeared at a longer interval. According to her previous confession, she went to an area without surveillance cameras to find a knife. Now it seems that her actions really showed that she went to get a knife as she said.

Conan Edogawa did not miss what Shirasa Miyu did before knocking on the door. Although it was not clear due to the surveillance angle, she seemed to have picked up some weapon and was ready to stab.

She was ready to kill someone!

How could that be? If she was going to kill someone, even if she was subdued by Matsubara Hidenori once she entered and failed, when she escaped, according to his previous speculation, Matsubara Hidenori should have lost his ability to move and could not torture her anymore. Why didn't she continue with her plan to kill?

Unless! She thought that Matsubara Hidenori was already dead at that time. Even if her mental state was not healthy at that time, could sleeping pills achieve such an effect?

"Aunt Yono, can you replay the surveillance video from the beginning and see what the deceased had for lunch? Maybe there are clues!"

"You can play it, but we can't clearly see what's happening on the surveillance video. Why don't we ask Miss Fujimiya Yuki? She must know the most." As she spoke, Rina Yonogi also dragged the progress bar back to the beginning.

Conan Edogawa saw what he wanted to see, which was alcohol. The alcohol and hypnotic drugs worked together, which could cause coma and respiratory depression in severe cases, enough to make Shirasa Miyuki think in panic that he had stopped breathing.

This is why she tried so hard to take the blame for the real murderer, but she didn't think about the most crucial issue of the time of death!

Because she thought that Hidenori Matsubara was poisoned to death when she was in the room, when she saw the scene of Hidenori Matsubara's death, she made a lot of remedial explanations about the scene, but she could not explain the contradiction in the timeline.

However, we do have to ask Miss Fujimiya Yuki. Conan hurried out the door. He just saw something more discordant than alcohol.

"Sister Fujimiya, the lunch you sent to Mr. Matsubara was seafood pasta and white wine, right?"

"Yeah, the same thing you get in the restaurant."

"So that mug, why would you bring him a mug in for wine?"

"Oh, there's milk tea."

Milk tea with sleeping pills added? The discordant mug did not appear in the tableware left by Matsubara Hidenori after the meal, but was cleaned and placed in the water bar like an ordinary cup.

"Mr. Songyuan also likes sweets? I saw that he didn't even eat the dessert provided at lunch." Could this be the appetizer that the murderer ordered for him?

"Milk tea is what Sakuragawa-san likes. The director probably wants to please Sakurai-san, so please ask me to make some milk tea for him and Sakurai-san."

How could it be? Did the deceased order the milk tea just for sentimental reasons, and then remember to clean it up? How did the murderer ensure that he took the sleeping pills? If he wanted to commit the crime safely, the murderer must ensure that the sleeping pills had taken effect before he entered the room. How could he do that?

Conan Edogawa's brain was working rapidly, trying to find a new breakthrough. There must be evidence somewhere else. There is no perfect crime in this world.

"Little brother, why are you asking these questions?"

"I'm asking on behalf of Aunt Yono. When and where did you make the milk tea? Is there any surveillance? Aunt Yono wants to confirm the process of your contact with the food."

"We were all in the big kitchen with the restaurant staff. I only made desserts there. I delivered the pasta directly after they were done. I made the milk tea with Sakuragawa-san. She happened to come and ask me if the manager had asked me to deliver her food. As for surveillance, the surveillance should be turned on in all areas that are in use."

"Okay, thank you, big sister."

……

Edogawa Conan ran to Nakamura Kaku again and asked him, "Can I see the photos you took before?"

After getting permission, he quickly flipped through the pages and asked, "Is this your camera, Nakamura?"

"No, I can't afford such good equipment. It was all sponsored by the minister."

"So he invaded your work, and it was you who took the photos last night, right?" Edogawa Conan flipped through the photos taken last night in the camera.

Nakamura Kaku was stunned. This kid, really...

"He's dead. No matter what the reason is for you to receive threats, you should be relieved. Why can't you say it? Is there someone behind him?"

"You're really scary... You don't act like a child at all." Nakamura Kaku looked around and whispered, "It's almost like what you said. I was tricked by the minister into owing a debt that I may never be able to repay in this lifetime, so I had no choice but to let him control me. As for the person behind him, I'm just guessing, I have no evidence at all."

"These are all deduced by Aunt Yono, I just helped her verify them." Edogawa Conan listened to the previous words and raised the banner of Yono Juraina again. "Then can you tell me what he said to you at noon this afternoon? It's not what you told the police about asking you to organize your photographic equipment, right?"

"Of course not. For some reason he suspected that I wanted to attack him and threatened me." Nakamura Kaku repeated what he and Matsubara Hidenori had said.

"So, someone made him feel threatened, or someone was helping Shirasha Miyu. It should be that Shirasha Miyu took out something that could threaten him last night. But he didn't know who that person was, so he didn't go out in the morning. In fact, he was observing you through surveillance. At noon, he called Miss Fujimiya and you to the room to test out that person. But obviously, he failed, so he found Shirasha Miyu again and forced her to tell him who that person was. After that, he died." Conan Edogawa analyzed.

But what he didn't understand was, "Why didn't he doubt Sister Sakuragawa?"

With the status of a girlfriend, it would be very convenient to do whatever you want.

I even want to leave fewer clues, so that the detective will appear very powerful, but then I don’t know how to write Conan solving the case, because I have limited the highlights of the little detective. I’m sorry orz

I'm celebrating that I've passed a course, and I'm also making a wish that today's exam goes smoothly and is sent out in advance. After today's exam, there's only one course left, and the score is relatively small. I'm not confident about the exam that mainly relies on memory, so I'll just take a look:)

I'm almost done writing this case, and only have the reasoning left. I shouldn't be stuck, so I should be able to catch up if I post it early. But maybe no one will read it after I post it, so if anyone reads it, please leave me a comment, thank you (▽｀)
