Nishio Aozora, who was closest to Ishigami Izumi, hurriedly caught the other's limp body. Xuejian yelled, "Give her some water, she's poisoned!"

Everyone was in a panic.

Matsumoto Yasushi trembled as he took the bottle of mineral water and poured it into the woman's mouth. The water dripped down her jaw onto her clothes, splashing stains. Matsumoto Yasushi collapsed and said, "She can't drink it. She seems to be unconscious."

Subaru Okiya walked closer and checked Ishigami Izumi's pulse and eyes, then shook his head, "She's dead."

The camp, which was still filled with laughter a few minutes ago, suddenly became stagnant.

Tanaka Takato said tremblingly, "Is there something wrong with the mushroom soup? Someone put poisonous mushrooms in the soup."

As soon as he finished speaking, Matsumoto Yasushi, who had been crying silently while hugging Ishigami Izumi's body, rushed to him. His eyes were full of bloodshot. Matsumoto Yasushi grabbed Tanaka Takato's collar and yelled, "Did you do it? You have always resented Koizumi for stealing your experimental data, didn't you!"

This sentence stunned everyone present. Nishio Aozora stammered, "What? Are you saying that Junior Sister Ishigami's thesis was fake?"

Ono Lizhi jumped up and started to curse at Matsumoto Yasushi, "Okay, you and that bad woman are in cahoots with each other. You even helped her cover up such a huge academic malpractice. I think it's not a pity for her to die. Why don't you take you with her?"

"You" Matsumoto Yasushi was furious, raising his hand to slap Ono Lizhi's face. Seeing this, Tanaka Takato immediately protected Ono behind him, "Matsumoto, don't go too far."

Matsumoto Yasushi didn't care about Tanaka's warning at all. Just as he was about to take action, Okiya Subaru held his arm down and said, "Senior, please respect yourself. We still don't know the exact cause of Ishigami's death. You are too impatient."

Matsumoto Yasushi struggled to break free several times but failed. Nishio Aozora on the side came to persuade him, "Matsumoto, we all know that you have a good relationship with Junior Sister Ishigami. You can't accept Junior Sister Ishigami's death, but you can't hurt innocent people."

Everyone was against him. Seeing that no one was on his side, Matsumoto Yasushi could only put down his hand in dismay.

Xuejian spoke at the right time, "I've called the police because it's completely dark now and it's not safe to walk on the mountain at night. The police said they probably won't be here until the second half of the night."

She pointed at Conan who was squatting in front of the mushroom soup pot and said, "That kid seems to have found some clues."

Xuejian sighed in her heart, she knew that a person with such a high hatred value would not live long in Mihua, and with the joining of the Death God Elementary School Student, he would definitely not survive tonight.

She didn't expect that the person would die while she was eating. She was no longer in the mood to fill her stomach. It was a pity that she had specially brought the eels.

Speaking of eels, Xuejian looked in Genta's direction and found that the child was looking at Conan worriedly while chewing the eel in his mouth, without delaying anything.

...Well, it wasn't in vain.

Conan had picked out the fungi in the mushroom soup and classified them, carefully remembering the scientific name of each mushroom.

One of the mushrooms caught his attention. It was white in color, with a concave cap in the middle, dense gills and a short stem.

He immediately made a noise to attract everyone's attention. "Oh, that's weird. Is this an ordinary mushroom?"

Everyone gathered around and looked at the white mushroom Conan was pointing at.

The well-informed Okiya Subaru said, "This is Japanese red mushroom, it is poisonous, and taking too much can cause death."

It was poisonous. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. They almost ate the mushroom soup and died.

Dr. Agasa asked, "So this was an accident. Someone accidentally picked this poisonous mushroom and didn't recognize it, so they cooked it as an ordinary mushroom."

Ayumi shook her head and retorted, "But all the mushrooms were picked by me, Mitsuhiko, Genta, Okiya-san, and Tanaka-san. Okiya-san specially checked that the mushrooms we picked were non-toxic and harmless before bringing them back."

Okiya Subaru also said, "I guarantee that there are absolutely no Japanese red mushrooms in the mushrooms we picked. They must have been secretly put in."

"So this is really a murder case," Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms and said impatiently, "This is the first time we have met this woman. The murderer can only be among you guys."

She pointed at Matsumoto Yasushi and his group.

Matsumoto Yasushi was about to cause trouble for Tanaka Takato again. "It was you who did it, you little brat. You have always held a grudge against Koizumi. You took advantage of the fact that these little brats and Okiya were not paying attention and secretly picked poisonous mushrooms and put them into the pot in an attempt to poison Koizumi to death."

Tanaka Takato exploded. He pushed Matsumoto Yasushi hard, causing him to stumble. "Think about it. If it was me who put the poisonous mushrooms into the pot, how can I prevent my girlfriend and I from not drinking the soup? How can I ensure that Ishigami Izumi drinks the soup first and dies, without implicated any innocent people?"

He brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes and sneered, "Speaking of motives for murder, didn't you and Nishio-senpai have one? Ishigami Izumi was Nishio-senpai's girlfriend at first, right? Because you signed your paper with her name, this fickle woman slept with you, and after being with you, she even flirted with outsiders. Didn't you two have the idea of ​​killing her?"

His words turned the relationship between the three people upside down. Matsumoto Yasushi and Nishio Aozora's faces were as colorful as oil paintings that were scribbled on. The two sat down in silence.

The person Xuejian sympathized with the most was their professor. There were five students in total, one was dead, one was the murderer, and one was a relative. A 5% tolerance rate, it was unfortunate for the teacher.

Subaru Okiya, the only one who remained respectable in this turmoil, presided over the situation. "Everyone go back and rest. Wait for the police to come up the mountain to deal with it. I'm going to move Ishigami-senpai's body to her tent. Don't wash the dishes. They are important evidence."

Tanaka Takato took the lead and left. He walked so fast that a breeze was created. Okiya Subaru stood beside him and smelled a familiar smell.

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, leaving Conan standing there.

When did the murderer put the poisonous mushrooms into the soup pot? Moreover, how could the toxicity take effect so quickly? Considering the number of poisonous mushrooms in the soup pot, it would take at least half an hour for the human body to react.

He picked up the remaining half bowl of soup from Ishigami Izumi and smelled it. So that's how it is. I understand. I know who the murderer is.

=====

It was late at night, and a dark figure sneaked out of the tent. He flicked the rope in his hand with a sinister grin and walked to the tent on the other side.

Suddenly, a beam of light was shone into his eyes, making him burst into tears.

"Mr. Tanaka, where are you going?"

Conan slowly walked out from the shadows, followed by Okiya Subaru.

Tanaka Takato smiled awkwardly and put the rope behind his back. "I came out to use the toilet, what else can I do?"

"Really? You need to bring a rope to the toilet." Conan had no intention of getting entangled with him. "You must be the one who killed Izumi Ishigami, Mr. Tanaka."

"What are you talking about, kid? How could it be me? Look at me, do I look like someone who would kill someone?" Tanaka Takato's voice slowly turned from hoarse to shrill and high-pitched, and his originally honest face twisted into a ball, adding a bit of evil.

The lights in the tents lit up one by one, and everyone was woken up.

Conan was unmoved. "When you took the soup pot to get the special soup bowls, you smeared potassium cyanide on the bottom of the first bowl because you knew that Ishigami Izumi loved mushroom soup the most and would be the first to get the bowl to drink the soup. The evidence is that there is a smell of bitter almonds in Ishigami Izumi's soup bowl, and Mr. Okiya also smelled the same smell on you."

Tanaka Takato was still struggling. "You can convict me just by smell? That's too much."

Subaru Okiya continued, "So why did you go out with the rope? The toilet is not in the direction you want to go. Your destination is Matsumoto-senpai's tent, right?"

Seeing Tanaka choking, Okiya Subaru continued, "Ms. Ono didn't wake up despite the commotion. Could she have been knocked unconscious by you?"

Tanaka was completely speechless this time. After a long while, he said, "That woman has been exploiting me and looking down on me since my first day at school. She even stole my thesis data!"

Takato Tanaka began to kneel, hold his head and cry bitterly. "And that guy Matsumoto Yasushi, I thought he was a trustworthy senior, but when I told him about the thesis, he threatened me not to report that woman to the teacher, otherwise I would not be able to get along in this industry. Matsumoto Yasushi's family has been in this industry for generations, and it was this group of scum who ruined my life!"

Matsumoto Yasushi couldn't wait to speak, his face showing an undisguised ecstasy, "Murderer, spend the rest of your life in prison repenting."

"Wait a minute," Conan interrupted the other party's provocation to Tanaka Takato, "Who do you think put the poisonous mushrooms in the mushroom soup? Mr. Matsumoto who is in charge of making mushroom soup?"

Matsumoto Yasushi's smile was still on his face, his teeth bared, and he hissed when he heard Conan's question, "You guessed all this? I didn't want to do that, I like Koizumi very much. But her appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and she threatened me to marry her by using the issue of me buying a paper. Humph, how could I marry a woman like this."

Nishio Aozora said in fear, "What, Senior Matsumoto, you also want to kill Koizumi?"

Matsumoto Yasushi ignored Nishio's words and said with a grin, "I am different from this loser. I must leave here today!"

After saying that, Matsumoto Yasushi took out the short knife in his arms, grabbed Haibara Ai, who was closest to him, under his arm and put the knife against her neck!

"Haibara/Ai-chan!"

"Don't move, I'll kill her if anyone moves." Matsumoto Yasushi slapped Huihara Ai's face with a knife. "It's such a pity to disfigure such a beautiful girl, don't you think? Don't move!"

Damn it, I didn't expect this person to be so cruel. Conan touched his watch and could only calm him down to prevent him from accidentally hurting Huibara. Damn it.

Matsumoto Yasushi carried Haibara Ai deeper into the forest, threatening everyone not to follow them.

"Tell the police to leave the mountain immediately and prepare a car for me, otherwise I will kill her." Matsumoto Yasushi found that he had lost his way. There was a cliff behind him, and he had no way to retreat, so he could only continue to intimidate people.

Haibara Ai remained motionless from beginning to end.

I have become a burden to everyone and have been used as bait to threaten the people I care about.

She looked up and saw the children following her closely, crying and calling her name. Edogawa and that guy frowned, as if they were thinking of a countermeasure.

Humph, there is no need for that. As long as I die on my own initiative, no one will threaten you. People like me should have died long ago.

The day my sister left, I had no meaning in living.

"Haibara/Ai-chan!"

Haibara Ai suddenly bit Matsumoto Yasushi's arm, and the other party reflexively shook his hand, throwing Haibara Ai away and falling straight down the cliff!

"Haibara!" Conan immediately kicked the football to make Matsumoto Yasushi unable to move, and at the same time, Okiya Subaru disarmed the opponent's arms.

Just as Conan was about to rush to the edge of the cliff, a figure appeared faster than him. The man had already grabbed Haibara's hand, but due to the huge inertia, he fell down with the person.

"Xuejian——"
