Chapter 230

"What's wrong? Shinichi." Ran Mouri seemed to be startled by Kudo Shinichi's sudden voice, and she almost dropped the things in her hands on the table.

Kudo Shinichi came over, snatched the cup from Funina's hand, then put it in front of his nose and kept smelling the scent.

But after he came over, the almond smell that Mao Lilan mentioned had mostly dissipated, and he could only vaguely feel that there seemed to be a smell of almonds.

Kudo Shinichi glanced at the things on the table in front of him and quickly noticed the kettle of hot water that Professor Agasa had brought.

Under the gaze of the other three, Kudo Shinichi poured another cup of hot water, and the almond scent wafted out again.

After close contact, Kudo Shinichi was very sure that this was not the ordinary almond flavor, but cyanide, which was poisonous and difficult to recover if accidentally ingested.

"There is cyanide in it, but I don't know if it is in the tableware or in this pot of hot water." Kudo Shinichi's face was solemn.

They had only just arrived in London, and Miss Funina had only just met him in the afternoon.

The most they did that afternoon was take a walk around London's famous attractions and they didn't have any conflicts with other people. How could someone poison their food?

Could it be because of the unsolved code?

But if that's the case, then the person left the code, wasn't it just hoping that someone could figure it out? Why bother with that?

"This... Shinichi, this... this is unexpected, right?" Ran Mouri was very scared.

Although she has experienced many cases, she has never almost become a victim, which makes Mao Lilan feel scared.

Almost...

If it weren't for Shinichi's quick reaction, one of the four of them would inevitably have met with misfortune.

This is too terrible.

"Oh no." Kudo Shinichi ran out of the box.

"Shinichi, where are you going?" Ran Mouri wanted to call him back, but Kudo Shinichi had already run away.

Mao Lilan hesitated for a while, but finally decided to stay here.

If she went out, she might not be able to find where Shinichi went, and if the police asked questions, running away without permission would easily arouse suspicion...

"Ran, Shinichi will be back soon, don't worry." Dr. Agasa looked at Ran Mouri's absent-minded look and quickly spoke to comfort her.

In fact, he was also very scared, but he was the oldest here, and it was not a good thing for him to be comforted by a few juniors.

"But... I'm still scared, and I don't know where Shinichi went."

"I guess he should go to see the boss here!" said Funina.

Ran Mouri and Dr. Agasa's eyes fell on Funina.

Both of them were so scared that they couldn't think clearly.

"If for some reason, they only attacked us, it would be fine. But if they are so cruel as to attack other people indiscriminately, Mr. Agasa got the hot water from the kitchen. I remember that when we came down, there were many people eating in this restaurant."

Funina explained for the two of them.

"Then Shinichi..."

"I think he must have gone to the boss to stop others from continuing what's going on here, and then have the Metropolitan Police Department come over to check it out."

With the help of Furninda, Dr. Agasa figured out why Kudo Shinichi wanted to go out.

After hearing this, Mao Lilan also felt relieved. Although she was still worried about Kudo Shinichi, she didn't look as fragile as before.

Furninna didn't say anything else, and the three of them fell silent.

Unlike Mouri Ran and Dr. Agasa who were worried about Kudo Shinichi leaving, Funina was obviously thinking about how to face the Metropolitan Police Department officers who arrived.

If there were someone who knew me, the impact that would have would be...

Moreover, I promised that person to...

Finina just felt that she should not have come out today, nor should she have agreed to the little boy named Conan to go with him to investigate some secret code.

The three of them waited for a while, and there was a slight noise coming from next door, but it soon became quiet again.

"Um...excuse me..."

"Shinichi." Ran Mouri looked at the young man who walked in, and she felt like she had found a backbone.

"Do you know each other?"

"This is our companion. We were the ones who discovered that the water tasted wrong. Xiaolan, this is Mr. Lesno, the boss here."

"I see. Thank you so much. If something really happened, I don't know what I would do. Since you know each other, please entertain me while I notify the others."

With that, the boss left in a hurry and knocked on the door opposite them.

"Xiaolan, you guys wait here for a while, I'm going to help the boss." Kudo Shinichi did not stay any longer and left with the boss Lesno.

"Xiao Lan, if you are worried, why don't you go over and help? I can just stay here and watch these things."

Although Mao Lilan wanted to refuse, she still wanted to be with Kudo Shinichi.

"Then thank you, Sister Funina. I will be back soon." After saying that, Mao Lilan chased out.

"This... I'll go over and take a look too." After thinking it over, Dr. Agasa decided to leave.

Funina was the only one left in the box.

Not long after, the sound of police car sirens was heard outside.

Fu Nina stood by the window, looking at the police car driving towards here...

"Who reported the case?" When they received a call that someone might indiscriminately poison people in a place like a hotel, people from the London Metropolitan Police rushed over.

They also thought that several people had died in the store.

But when they came over, they found that the situation on the scene was not what they imagined.

Although most people looked terrified, it didn't look like they had seen a dead body.

Kudo Shinichi stepped forward and told his boss about his discovery and what he had just asked him to tell others.

"Nonsense." The police officer reprimanded Kudo Shinichi harshly.

Kudo Shinichi, who was always held in high esteem by the police, was confused for a moment. How could this be considered a joke? This was clearly a matter concerning the safety of many people's lives.

"It's obviously safe here, and no one has been injured. Do you know that if you call the police casually, it will cause panic?"

"If something unexpected happens, can you afford it?"

The person who came seemed to be a team leader. Kudo Shinichi was not sure what position the person in front of him held, but he did not look like an ordinary police officer.

"I'm very sure that's the smell of bitter almonds." Kudo Shinichi said confidently, "That's cyanide, a dangerous substance that is very difficult to save a person if ingested by mistake."
