Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World
Chapter 184: Uncovering Benzo's Death: The Secret Between 'Brothers'
"What's so strange about this?" Kashiwagi Yu shrugged as if nothing had happened. "After all, we were fostered in different families 30 years ago."
Jinya Saisuke then added, "We haven't seen each other since we separated."
Katsunobu Suda vowed to emphasize: "So there is no difference between our meeting today and the first time."
Mao Lilan observed the appearance of the three brothers and said, "By the way, you guys don't look alike."
Yuanshan and Ye frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt: "Are you really brothers?"
"Please, please wait a moment."
"I'll show it to you now."
“We have photographic evidence.”
The three of them searched frantically and finally took out the same slightly yellowed photo and handed it to everyone for viewing.
Hattori Heiji frowned: "These three photos are exactly the same."
Yuanshan Heye couldn't help but complain: "Besides, these are all childhood photos, what can we tell from them?"
Mao Lilan looked at the photo carefully and said, "It's hard to judge whether they look alike or not. After all, so many years have passed, and they must have changed a lot."
"I can't help it if you say that."
"Yeah, that's the only picture we have."
"It's been 30 years, how can it be so easy to recognize."
At this time, Ooka Hongye poked her head out from behind the butler Iori Muga, her eyes shrewd, "By the way, Mr. Policeman, does the victim have any burn scars on his hands?"
Upon hearing this, Officer Gao Mu immediately stepped forward and began to examine him carefully. "There is a strange-shaped burn scar on the palm of his right hand."
Ooka Hongye pointed to the burn scar on the dead man's right palm and said, "If you are really brothers, you should have similar scars. Can you please stretch out your hands and let me see?"
The three brothers showed their palms one after another, and sure enough, there were burn marks on each of their palms.
Mao Lilan took out a coupon for a barbecue restaurant from her bag and asked, "The scars on their hands, were they burned by the lamb roasting pan?"
"Yes." Kashiwagi Yu slightly raised his head and recalled the past: "Before we were sent away for foster care, my mother called the four of us brothers together and ate roast lamb together at the home of her employer, where she would be staying for a long time. That was one of the few good memories we have."
Jinya Saisuke also had a face full of longing, immersed in that memory: "I still can't forget the taste of the mutton that day."
"But when we were cleaning up after dinner that day, someone knocked over the barbecue pot." Katsunobu Suda looked at the burn marks on his palms and said in a slightly lowered voice, "When we saw that mom was about to get burned, we reached out our hands at the same time."
Kashiwagi Yu also looked at the burn scar on his palm. "It's good to be injured like this. After all, the pot was very heavy and we persisted for a long time."
"Yes, and we grilled a lot of meat at that time."
"That's right." Jinya Caifu frowned slightly, "The pot was very hot. I didn't expect that we could catch it with our bare hands."
"Speaking of roast lamb, we found a paper bag," Officer Takagi reported solemnly, "and inside it was a roasting pan for roast lamb."
Officer Megure immediately became alert and looked around: "Where was it found?"
"That's where the victim was pushed down."
Seeing this, Kudo Yuki walked outside thoughtfully, "Go ask that staff member, maybe we'll get something unexpected."
After hearing this, everyone followed Kudo Yuki and walked out of the warehouse. Officer Takagi explained the current situation to the staff member.
The staff member frowned and tried to recall: "Are you talking about the order in which these people came to the fourth warehouse? I only remember the first person who came here. He had a beard, but I don't remember the order of the other three."
"That's right."
"Excuse me, can I go now? There are a lot of people coming today, and I need to get ready."
"What's going on today?"
"Today is the annual social network photo posting day."
Hattori Heiji was afraid of missing out on important information, so he stared at the staff: "What, what is that? Can you explain it in more detail?"
Kudo Yuki silently said in her heart: [Sign in.]
"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for signing in successfully today. She received +100 mall points and 1 case clue symbol.
The current mall points are 2700, and the system space contains: 1 barrel of healing potion, anti-danger floating tools, water-stopping stone, recent information on the winery organization, distribution map of the winery base, tracking compass props, and 1 case clue symbol. Please continue to sign in every day, Xiaoxue."
Iori Muga, the housekeeper, held the phone, his finger sliding quickly across the screen, as if he was looking for something, "Ms. Hongye, I just found a very serious problem, please take a look."
He handed the phone to Ooka Hongye.
"The annual love spot check-in is at this port today. It sounds great."
“According to the information I collected earlier, Master Hattori wants to find an opportunity to confess his feelings in a place with a great view.
Therefore, if he wins Master Kudo in this reasoning competition, he will probably take the opportunity to confess his love to Miss Kazuha. Then you will not have the chance to let Master Hattori understand your charm. "
"No, we must find a way to stop him. No matter what, Kudo must win this match."
After asking about the relevant situation, Hattori Heiji let the staff go. At this moment, he was quite looking forward to the confession of the check-in location.
Conan was so hot that he kept fanning himself with his hands. Seeing Conan's expression, Mao Lilan kindly handed him a bottle of iced mineral water and said, "Conan, do you want some water?
"Well, thank you Sister Xiaolan." After saying that, Conan took the mineral water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank the water in big gulps.
Kudo Yuki called out telepathically: "Rat, use the case clue charm."
"Ding, the case clue symbol has been used."
The system gave a few words of hints: Crab, Metal Allergy. When Kudo Yuki saw these words, the corners of her mouth twitched and she secretly complained in her heart: "This hint is too brief."
At the same time, she heard that Inspector Megure had encountered a problem and was discussing it in a low voice with Inspector Takagi.
"No, I can't investigate further without knowing the order in which these three people came here."
"Besides, we still don't know why the previous victim suddenly lost contact."
"I know about this." Kashiwagi Yu stepped forward and told the truth: "My eldest brother went on a business trip overseas and accidentally lost his phone. Later, when he returned to China, he found the phone at the airport and sent me a message to tell me."
Jinya Saisuke frowned slightly and recalled: "My eldest brother was shocked when he opened his phone. He found that we had sent him a lot of messages during that period of time."
Suda Katsunobu spread his hands, looking bewildered: "But I don't know why he called us here today."
Officer Takagi asked, "May I ask, do you three keep in touch with your eldest brother, Mr. Benzo?"
"In addition to sending messages to keep in touch, we also send gifts to each other." Kashiwagi Yu touched his chin and thought, "Some time ago, my eldest brother gave me a leather strap watch that he liked very much. He said he didn't need it anymore."
"My elder brother gave me a leather jacket." Katsunobu Suda scratched his head, feeling somewhat helpless: "To thank him, I sent him some, but I didn't expect the item to be returned intact."
"Yes, I have encountered such a thing before." Jinya Saisuke also recalled the past, "My eldest brother used to like eating crabs very much, so I sent him some canned crabs, but for some reason they were returned."
Conan tried to find the clues, thinking to himself: "I always feel like there's something strange."
His thoughts were pulled back by Ooka Momiji: "Hey, Conan, have you told Kudo everything they just said? Do you want to discuss it with our Iori as well? What do you think?"
"No, it's okay. Shinichi-nii said he doesn't need it."
Toyama Kazuha watched this scene, she clasped her hands together, looking nervous. She prayed in her heart: "Momiji has gone to help Kudo. Heiji, you have to cheer up!"
Shu Shu was watching the fun in his pocket, while Kudo Yuki and Conan were observing the conversation between the three brothers.
"By the way, speaking of crabs, my brother often sends me crab-flavored pancakes, and he highly recommends them."
"It seems that Big Brother doesn't hate eating crabs."
Kudo Yuki casually asked, "Could he be allergic to something?" Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on her.
Conan immediately understood the whole story of the case. He thought to himself: "So that's how it was. That's why the murderer did that. Hattori seems to have not figured out the truth yet. Xiaolan is cheering for me now, and my sister is also helping me secretly..."
"Hello, Conan." Ooka Hongye walked up to him and bent down slightly: "Kudo just told you the truth over the phone, right? Iori told me that your expression had changed slightly."
Conan blinked and explained quickly: "No, that's not the truth. Shinichi said he had a new discovery about the victim, Uncle Benzo.
Because Sister Xue just asked Uncle Mianzao if he was allergic to something, and he said that Uncle Mianzao was most likely allergic to crabs. Uncle Mianzao obviously likes to eat crabs very much, but he returned the canned crabs he received intact. "
Suda Katsunobu put one hand in his pocket, looking puzzled, "Then how do you explain the chocolate and nuts?"
“Maybe you’re allergic to the snacks?”
"I've never heard of such an allergy."
Hattori Heiji touched his chin and thought seriously for a moment, "He is allergic to metal. Canned foods will inevitably contain metal components from the cans, and chocolate and nuts contain metal components such as nickel and cobalt.
Next comes leather products, which are usually treated with chromium liquid to make them softer.”
"But is there any problem with this?" Officer Takagi looked confused.
"Don't you find it strange? Isn't there a pair of broken metal-rimmed glasses on Mr. Benzo's head?"
Inspector Megure fell into deep thought: "Yes, that's right. Logically, he shouldn't wear glasses with metal frames."
“Those were actually the murderer’s glasses! When Mr. Benzo was pushed down, he grabbed the murderer’s glasses with all his strength, causing them to fall to the ground and crack.
At that time, Mr. Benzo's brothers were about to arrive, and in a hurry, the murderer had to wear Mr. Benzo's glasses.
Therefore, the murderer who pushed Mr. Benzo down from a height and killed him was Mr. Jinya Saisuke, the only one wearing glasses among the three suspects. You are the murderer! "
Jinya Saisuke frowned, looking a little panicked, and shouted: "But, but why would I want to kill my own brother? We finally got together after 30 years."
He hurried forward, opened the burn scar on his palm, and stretched out his hand in front of Hattori Heiji with trembling hands, "Also, I have shown you, this is the burn scar left when we were young to protect our mother. It can prove that we are brothers."
"I remember that you were cleaning up the lamb roasting pot, and I don't know who knocked over the pot."
"At that time, my mother was almost scalded by the lamb roasting pan. Fortunately, the four of us brothers reacted quickly and caught the hot roasting pan with our bare hands."
Hattori Heiji's smile grew wider and wider. "No, you're wrong. The real situation was that the lamb roasting pot was knocked over and your mother fell down. She was about to hit the pot, but you guys put your hands on the pot to save her from getting burned, right?"
"Yes." Kashiwagi Yu and Suda Katsunobu spoke in unison, looking at the burn scars on their palms at the same time, with a look of reminiscence on their faces.
“That’s why we have scars like this on our hands.”
"Because our hands stayed there until Mom got up."
Jinya Saisuke's eyes were filled with panic. He looked at the two brothers for help: "So what do you mean by very serious?"
"We are talking about my mother's weight. She was indeed quite fat at that time."
Jinya Saisuke smiled unnaturally, his facial muscles twitching: "I accidentally remembered it wrong. Look, I have the same scars on my hands as them."
Conan handed the cap of the mineral water bottle to Kudo Yuki and whispered, "Sister Yuki, take the cap first."
The next second, Conan pretended that he did not hold the mineral water bottle firmly, and the water in it splashed all over Jinya Saisuke's right arm and clothes.
"Sorry, I spilled water on you."
"Really."
"Oh my, I thought it was water, but it turned out to be lemon juice."
"Then we have to wipe it clean quickly." So, Jinya Caisuke took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the water stains desperately.
Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and sneered, "The reason why you are so nervous is that the scar on your hand was formed by applying citrus juice into a similar shape and then drying it in the sun."
Conan held up the mineral water bottle and saw that there was still some water left in it. "Wrong, it's actually water."
Jinya Saisuke suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Conan.
