Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World
Chapter 169 The Secret History of the Church: Hidden Murderous Intentions
The people in the chapel sat around the fireplace, the warm firelight reflecting their slightly tired faces. Suddenly, they heard the creaking sound of the wind blowing through the windows.
Wakita Kensuke chatted with everyone, "The snow outside is getting heavier. I really doubt whether they can come to pick us up tomorrow."
Kawasaki Yosuke drank the little water left in the bottle and shook the empty bottle. "It will be troublesome if I can't get through. I don't have much water left."
Koura Ikue smiled and teased, "You still love drinking water as much as before."
Nishino Sumiya turned his head and looked at Fujiide Yorito, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Fujiide, can I have something to drink?"
"Ah."
Seeing Fujiide Yorito nodded in agreement, Nishino Sumiya took a bottle of water and quickly put it in his bag.
The next second, everyone heard a "bang" sound of something breaking, which sounded particularly harsh in the quiet space.
Wakita Kanenori looked towards the location of the sound, "Did you hear any strange noises just now?"
Maori Kogoro listened carefully with a serious look on his face. "It feels like the sound of glass breaking."
Kawasaki Yosuke held up his glasses on his nose, his eyes full of confusion, "It came from the building next door that we just visited.
Gu Pu Yu Hui touched her chin, her face full of fear, "Is it possible that someone is lurking in here?"
Nishino Sumiye looked at the people around him with uneasiness in his eyes, "Who's going to check what's going on? Otherwise, we won't be able to sleep."
Fujiide Yorito frowned slightly, his tone full of worry, "But didn't we agree not to act rashly?"
Nishino Sumi also suggested with a smile: "How about this, we send two people over to check out the situation over there? If something really happens, at least there is someone to take care of it."
"That's true." Kawasaki Yosuke nodded in agreement.
Wakita Kanenori looked at the four people calmly, "I think it's better not to move around now."
"Yes." Maori Kogoro straightened his back. "I guess the wind and snow blew something and hit the glass window of the church."
Just as he finished speaking, the previous collision sound "clang" was rang out again, this time the sound was louder, scaring everyone so much that they shrank their necks.
Fujiide Yorito nervously looked around for the source of the sound, "I think it's better to go check it out."
Kawasaki Yosuke raised the question with a frown on his face, "But which group should we send?"
Nishino Sumiya rolled his eyes and suggested with a smile: "I think we should decide it by rock-paper-scissors."
Koura Ikue immediately rejected it and waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't want to. I always lose in the rock-paper-scissors game." As she said that, she took out a few pieces of mint candy, stuffed them into her mouth, and chewed them hard.
Nishino Sumiya turned his head and looked at the mint candy in Furuura Ikue's hand. "You said you brought a lot of boxes of mint candy with you. Can you give me a few boxes?"
Furuura Ikue rolled her eyes at him, but still took out three boxes and gave them to Nishino Sumiya.
Nishino Sumiya also placed 3 boxes in front of him, "Let's first choose 3 boxes from here, and then pour out the candy in two of them. If you draw an empty box without making any sound, it's safe and you don't need to go."
He held up the box of mints and shook it. "On the contrary, if you draw the box that makes a sound, you are out. Then the person in the group that drew the sound will go and see what happens."
Nishino Sumire also shuffled the order of the three boxes, "Since this idea was proposed by me, our group will choose the remaining box. Okay, please choose."
Wakita Kensuke looked at Maori Kogoro with expectation in his eyes, "Master, come on! Aren't you good at missing the target?"
Maori Kogoro rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, leave it to me!"
Maori Kogoro picked up one of the boxes and shook it. "It's empty."
Wakita Kanenori praised Maori Kogoro: "You are worthy of being my master!"
Fujiide Yorito chose a box, his face full of reluctance, and shook the box with both hands, "Mine is empty too." A relieved smile appeared on his face, and Furuura Ikue also breathed a sigh of relief.
Nishino Sumiya shook the box and heard a sound, then shrugged helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. It looks like our group has to go over there."
"OK then."
Nishino Sumiya and Kawasaki Yosuke looked at each other, took a deep breath, and then went out to investigate the situation.
After a while, Kudo Yuki, Conan and Amuro Toru slowly came to the chapel.
Upon hearing this, Amuro Toru frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion and worry, "We also heard the sound of glass breaking just now, so you asked them to go and check what happened?"
Everyone sat around the stove to keep warm. Maori Kogoro turned his head and looked at the three people with a helpless look on his face. "Yes, we tried to persuade them at the beginning. But they insisted on going, and there was nothing we could do."
Suddenly, a person rushed in at the door.
Maori Kogoro was startled by the sudden intruder and his body shook violently, "Yes, who is it?"
I saw Nishino Sumi standing there breathlessly, his eyes full of anger and questioning: "Who sent the message to Kawasaki?"
"News?" Gu Pu Yuhui's face was full of confusion, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were scanning everyone.
Fujiide Yorito also looked confused and quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "I didn't send a message."
Nishino Sumiya's face was gloomy. "When Kawasaki saw the news, his face changed drastically, and he ran towards the bathhouse without saying a word."
The next second, a miserable scream was heard, breaking the silent night sky.
Nishino Sumiye was shocked and his body couldn't help but tremble. "What's going on? Isn't this Kawasaki's voice?"
Amuro Toru heard the sound and asked as he ran, "He went to the bathhouse, right?"
"Ah."
Kudo Yuki chased out, and the flashlight on the watch on Conan's wrist illuminated the road ahead.
Kogoro Mori followed behind him, panting.
Everyone ran to the bathhouse corridor and found Kawasaki Yosuke covering his throat with both hands. His face was distorted, he was in great pain, and foam was coming out of his mouth.
"Uncle Kawasaki." Conan shone the flashlight on his watch steadily on Kawasaki Yosuke, trying to see his condition clearly.
Maori Kogoro was the first to run to Kawasaki Yosuke. He put his left hand on his hand and his right hand on his shoulder, and shouted anxiously, "Hey, cheer up."
Kawasaki Yosuke struggled in pain for a few seconds, then his body went limp and he died.
When Amuro Toru and Kudo Yuki saw this scene, their eyes turned cold and they said in unison: "Poison."
Amuro Toru quickly went forward to check, "Judging from the smell in his mouth, he should have drunk cyanide poison."
Just then, Kensuke Wakita walked over slowly. He took out a coin and dipped it in the water. Then he picked up the coin and observed it carefully with his eyes narrowed.
"But the water that came out of this bottle didn't show any redox reaction? So it seems that this bottle of water was not poisoned."
The other three people came here and heard what Wakita Kenshinori said, they were all shocked.
Koura Ikue covered her mouth in surprise: "Then why is it..."
Nishino Sumiya's voice was trembling, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. "This, this was not done by me."
Just as Fujiide Yorito was about to step forward to take a closer look, he stepped on a piece of paper in a panic. He looked down and saw, "Another, another code."
Conan heard the voice and quickly pointed the flashlight on his watch at the paper on the ground, his face full of solemnity, "This coded paper was placed here, which may mean that this revenge game has not yet ended."
Kudo Yuki glanced at Wakita Kensuke out of the corner of her eyes, secretly worried that Conan would lose his sense of propriety and expose his intelligence to suspicion. She could only observe silently, her brain working rapidly, thinking about the truth behind this series of strange events.
Kogoro Mouri held the phone and made a call for a long time, but there was still no response.
He stared at the phone signal closely. "Damn it, the phone has been disconnected. Now there is no way to contact the Nagano police. Two people have been killed. What should I do next?"
Wakita Kensuke slowly stood up and walked to the front of the crowd with a calm expression, "I think maybe the antenna of a mobile phone signal base station was blown down by the blizzard."
"But, but, why would Kawasaki..." Nishino Sumiya hesitated to speak, his eyes full of fear and confusion, and his voice trembled slightly.
Koura Ikue covered her mouth with both hands in shock, "Was he really poisoned to death?"
Amuro Toru looked at everyone with a serious expression and analyzed clearly, "Yes, one possibility is that he was fed cyanide poison by someone, and another possibility is that someone set a trap and made him drink it himself."
Fujiide Yorito frowned slightly, and the fear on his face became more and more obvious, "If that's the case, there are other people lurking in this old church besides us.
They have just confirmed that the water in the bottle next to Kawasaki is not poisonous, which means someone forced the poison into his mouth and then poured the water in. "
Nishino Sumiye continued with Fujiide Yorito's thoughts, "It is very likely that this is the case. Besides, Kawasaki has mysophobia. No matter how others set up the trap, he is unlikely to let down his guard and drink the poison himself."
Furuura Ikue gave everyone a clue, "But Kawasaki has a habit of drinking water very much."
"You like drinking water very much?" Kogoro Mouri widened his eyes in confusion, looking puzzled.
Furuura Ikue explained the reason: "He once fainted from dehydration during a club activity. Since that incident, he has always deliberately drunk a lot of water."
Fujiide Yorito tried hard to recall what Kawasaki Yosuke did at the time, "After going to the bathroom, cleaning, and finishing class, he would drink a lot of water, which gradually became his habit."
Upon hearing this, Kudo Yuki moved closer to Kawasaki Yosuke and observed carefully, "If Mr. Kawasaki was forced to drink water and took cyanate poison, there should be water stains around his mouth, and he would spray water when he struggled.
But there was no moisture on the corners of his mouth or his clothes, so the idea that someone had given him poison was not true. "
Amuro Toru folded his hands over his chest and continued to analyze the case, his eyes sweeping over everyone, "If this possibility is ruled out, then it can only be that someone set a trap for him to take the poison, and that person is among you."
Wakita Kensuke's eyes fell on Nishino Sumiya, with scrutiny and suspicion. "By the way, if I remember correctly, didn't someone just send a message to Mr. Kawasaki's phone?"
"Yeah." Nishino Chengya pretended to be calm, but his eyes were a little vague. "When he saw the news, his face suddenly changed, and then he ran towards the bathhouse without saying a word.
He might not want me to see the content of the message, or he might be trying to avoid me and call the person who sent the message. "
Maori Kogoro frowned and looked at the pocket of the deceased. "Then let's check his cell phone. We should be able to find some clues."
After hearing Kogoro Mori's instructions, Toru Amuro took out the cell phone from the dead man's pocket and wrapped it carefully with white cloth.
"It seems that his phone needs a fingerprint to unlock. That's offensive. Let me borrow the dead man's finger."
Amuro Toru opened the deceased's phone and read it carefully. "He did receive a message just now. Let me take a look. The content is:
You promised to take that secret to your grave, you traitor.
Do you know what the secret mentioned above is?"
Nishino Sumiya answered hesitantly, "No, I don't know."
Kudo Yuki had been secretly observing everyone, and noticed that when Wakita Kanenori heard the word "traitor", there was obvious anger on his face. Although it was only for a moment, her eyes still caught it, and she couldn't help but think more in her heart.
Wakita Kensuke glanced at the three people, "The word traitor is somewhat concerning."
Nishino Cheng also waved his hands and explained quickly, his voice a little out of tune: "But we really don't know what's going on?"
Fujiide Yorito tried to calm himself down and came up with a solution. "Who is the sender shown on the phone? If I check it, I can know who sent that creepy message, right?"
Maori Kogoro heard this and strode directly to the three people. "In that case, please turn on your phone and let me see it. I will check it now to see who sent the message."
The three of them turned their phone screens towards everyone, and Kogoro Mouri checked them one by one, and the results were somewhat unexpected.
"What's going on? The message wasn't sent by you three, so who sent it?"
Amuro Toru thought for a moment, "It is possible that one person has multiple accounts, and he immediately logged out of that account after sending a message to Mr. Kawasaki."
Wakita Kensuke's expression was serious: "Perhaps one of you secretly brought two mobile phones. Or maybe there is another person who is quietly lurking in a corner of this dilapidated church."
