Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Conan narrated: "After pouring the poison, you need to shake it evenly. When shaking, the bottle cap will definitely be closed. However, there is no water mark on the inside of the bottle cap."

Officer Ayanokouji looked to the other side awkwardly and said hesitantly, "Is that so?"

Kuroda Bei remained calm and said slowly, "That is to say, someone had already placed the poisoned bottled water and the bottle of poison in this room before the incident happened.

Of course, it can also be assumed that Mr. Shumoto prepared the bottled water with poison in advance in order to commit suicide. But in that case, there would be no need to specifically knock over the bottle of poison. "

Officer Ayanokouji lowered his head and said, "That's right."

He felt the pressure and looked at everyone in the house. "If this is a homicide, then the first people to be suspected are everyone who was in this house when the case happened. Especially the three of you who have a close relationship with Mr. Zhumoto."

Officer Ayanokouji fixed his eyes on Karuo Akira, Kimata Shigeki, and Inaba Reisuke.

Mu Mata Shigeki hastily explained: "Hey, no, wait a moment."

Hattori Heiji analyzed: "Oh, come to think of it, after Mr. Tsuchimoto went to take a nap, about 15 minutes later, the three of you went to check on Mr. Tsuchimoto together.

Could it be that... the poisoned bottle was placed next to him at that time? In this way, when Mr. Shumoto wakes up, he will drink the poison unconsciously. "

Inaba Reiyou waved his hands in defense, "That's because I noticed that Mr. Tsuchimoto was walking a little unsteadily."

Qingwei Minger frowned slightly: "We went to see if he slept well on the sofa."

"I did go into the room, but I just covered him with a blanket," said Shigeki Kimura, recalling the scene.

Inaba Reisuke continued: "I stood by the door and watched them. We didn't do anything suspicious."

Maori Kogoro asked, "So when you came in, was there a bottle of water next to the sofa?"

Karuo Akira and Kimata Shigeki answered seriously.

“There were no water bottles.”

"And certainly no poison bottle."

The two of them took a few steps closer, which startled Maori Kogoro. "Really?"

Officer Ayanokouji sighed and walked up to Hattori Heiji. "In that case, when the three of them went to see Mr. Tsuchimoto, what were you doing?"

"Killing time in the living room, of course."

Ooka Momiji rushed to Hattori Heiji's side, tightly holding his arm, and whispered with a smile: "I'm also spending time in the living room with Heiji."

After saying this, she even moved closer on purpose, her tone so soft that water could drip out of it: "But, for me personally, it would be a great thing if I could always spend time like this with Heiji."

Hattori Heiji was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Yes, yes."

On the other side, Yuanshan Heye suddenly shuddered.

Mao Lilan looked at her with a worried look on her face. "What's wrong with you, Kazuha?"

Toyama Kazuha looked panicked: "I don't know why. I suddenly had a very bad feeling, as if Heiji was about to fall into the abyss of darkness!"

Mao Lilan was dumbfounded: "Fall, fall into darkness?"

"It's Momiji. It must be Momiji. She wants to drag Heiji into the evil world." Toyama Kazuha looked at the butler Iori Muga, "I say, you. After we finish visiting all the stores we want to visit, will you really take us to where Heiji is?"

Butler Iori Muga replied respectfully: "Of course."

"How many more stores do we need to go to?"

Butler Iori Muga took out his phone and searched. "There are only eight stores left. All of them will be reserved for you two to come."

Mao Lilan was surprised: "There are still eight stores."

Yuanshan Heye was about to cry, but she had no tears. She said with regret: "It's all my fault that I was too excited. I wanted to eat this and that, and I made too many requests."

Inside the villa, Officer Ayanokouji put his hands behind his back and said, "I already understand the situation. Indeed, judging from the current situation at the scene, it is necessary to consider the possibility that this is actually a homicide. I think there are still many doubts that need to be clarified."

Kudo Yuki silently said in her heart: [Sign in.]

"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for signing in successfully today and getting 300 mall points and the Mirror of Tracing Causes.

The current mall points are 2400, and the system space contains: healing elixir, recent information on the winery organization, location distribution map of the winery base, and the mirror of tracing. Please continue to sign in every day, Xiaoxue."

The system announcement sounded: "The Mirror of Cause Tracing can help the user see the cause of the case."

"Ding, the prop has been used."

A mirror appeared in front of Kudo Yuki. Through the mirror, she saw that Ms. Renka's "suicide" was just an illusion.

Then, the mirror disappeared.

Officer Ayanokouji spoke freely, "Mr. Shumoto was given poison while taking a nap in this room. No matter who did it, as long as it was a premeditated murder, the criminal cannot circumvent this problem.

That is to say, Mr. Zhuben should take the initiative to ask to go to bed, and then enter this room.

Even if Mr. Shumoto often takes sleeping pills, it is probably not realistic to expect him to commit a crime because we cannot be sure when the sleeping pills will take effect, nor can we guarantee that Mr. Shumoto will not forget to take them. "

Kuroda Bei thought: "The criminal must make sure that Mr. Shumoto has taken the sleeping pills."

"Yes. If this is a murder case, then this is a necessary condition. The question is who had the opportunity to let Mr. Zhumoto take the sleeping pills?"

Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and thought: "And Mr. Shumoto didn't eat pizza."

Ooka Hongye thought: "The coffee he drank was the same as ours, just a cup he picked up from the plate."

Hattori Heiji wondered, "The only thing left is the lollipop he always holds in his mouth, right?"

"Impossible, impossible." Qingwei Ming'er hurriedly explained: "The lollipops that Shumoto eats are always the same. If you put sleeping pills in the candy..."

Mumata Shigeki replied, "He will find out immediately."

Inaba Reiyu added: "When we played a prank on him before, we used to wrap different flavors of candy in the same wrapping paper and gave it to him. As soon as he put the candy in his mouth, he immediately got angry."

Seeing that his sister only fed pine nuts to Officer Ayanokouji's chipmunk and didn't ask much about the case, Conan walked to Kudo Yuki's side and looked up and asked, "By the way, why did Mr. Shumoto ask to cut the pizza himself?"

After hearing this, Kigen Shigeki, Karuo Akira, and Inaba Reisuke turned their eyes to the brother and sister.

"Oh, that's because a year ago, the doctor told him that he had to lose weight, and he always complains about it."

“Later, it evolved into him not eating himself, but helping cut pizza for everyone and serving everyone.”

"But it didn't work, he still didn't lose any weight."

Kurodabei thought, "Did he really not eat it? When I checked the smell of Mr. Shumoto's mouth, I smelled something other than almonds. It's the smell of garlic and cheese in the pizza that everyone eats."

Maori Kogoro looked confused: "But the pizza cut by Mr. Shumoto is a complete circle, there is no bitten part or missing piece."

"Speaking of smells." Kurodabei walked up to Kudo Yuki and stared at the chipmunk on her shoulder. "It's not very obvious, but I feel the smell of an animal here. Now it seems to be this."

Officer Ayanokouji was a little scared. After all, this chipmunk was his "best friend" and he was afraid it would be involved in this case.

Kudo Yuki looked at everyone, secretly thinking about the clues of the case in her heart, preparing to uncover the truth at the right time.

At the same time, the car carrying Toyama Kazuha and Mao Li Ran slowly drove towards the Otafukuya store.

As the car got closer, Yuanshan Heye became more and more anxious.

The driver stopped the car, got out and opened the door.

As Toyama and Ye got out of the car, they said, "We're here. We're going to order the Ten-Colored Hagi Mochi Set from Daidofukuya. Let's go, Xiaolan."

"Ah."

In order to save time, the two ran into the store.

The driver stood in front of the car door, watching their backs as they drove away. "These two are really good eaters. It's said that girls have another stomach for desserts, and it seems to be true."

The driver turned around and saw Butler Iori Muga looking around and checking the surroundings. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. "Mr. Iori, why do you always do that after getting off the car?"

Butler Iori Muga's eyes quickly regained their composure. "Oh, it's nothing. It's just my own habit, please don't mind it."

Inside the villa, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Mumata Shigeki stuffed his hands into his pockets and frowned slightly: "Can I interject? The premise of your discussion now is that someone killed Zhu Ben, but what was the murderer's motive? None of us have any reason to kill him."

Light Oo Minger followed up and agreed: "That's right. We still have the stage play to deal with next, and there's no benefit in doing this."

Inaba Reisuke glanced at Kudo Yuki, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he tried to change the topic of the case discussion: "Mr. Shumoto, did he really not commit suicide?"

Officer Ayanokouji stared at the three of them. "So, have you come up with any other clues?"

"After all, what happened to Ms. Nika."

"Because he was very obsessed with Ms. Renxiang before."

"Zhu Ben also saw her body."

Kiryuu Akira frowned, hesitating to speak: "Ms. Nika can be said to be an actress trained by Suzumoto. He will definitely invite Ms. Nika to play a role in his stage play. Therefore, it is very likely..."

Conan and Kuroda Hei both noticed Inaba Rei's strange look, but Kudo Yuki refused to say anything. They became more and more curious about what clues she would provide.

Kuroda Bei decided to continue the conversation. "So, you said that you were the ones who found Ms. Nika's body. What was the specific process?"

Inaba Reiyu thought about it again and again and murmured, "We were going to read the script together that day, and we all gathered together to wait for Ms. Renxiang to come. However, suddenly, a text message from her was received on Shumoto's phone saying 'Goodbye forever.'

So we rushed to her apartment, and her door was not locked, but the bedroom door was just like this time, it wouldn’t open after just a little push.”

"We went to find our neighbor next door, entered her house through her balcony, and looked into the room from the balcony window," said Shigeki Kimura.

Inaba Reiyou pretended to recall the past. "We found her lying on the ground, with her body blocking the bedroom door."

Kasuga Akira confided: "At that time, Shumoto was very disappointed and even wanted to cancel the mystery stage play."

Mumata Shigeki reluctantly agreed, "Yes. So he may have followed Renxiang's footsteps and committed suicide."

Conan was puzzled: "But the stage play was not cancelled in the end, why did you decide to continue?"

Kakuo Akira answered: "I remember that at that time, Shumoto looked at the lollipop he was eating and suddenly screamed."

Inaba Reisuke chimed in: “Yes. He suddenly said, ‘That’s right, I understand this stage play will definitely be a success.’ So we continued to prepare.”

Hattori Heiji frowned: "You said he said that while looking at the lollipop?"

Just when Conan thought that Kudo Yuki would not reveal any clues, she raised her eyebrows and looked at everyone. "Those lollipops on the ground are not the same kind at all."

Ooka Momiji thought about it and said, "Speaking of candies, candies nowadays are really different. Among the lollipops that Detective Maori dropped on the ground, one not only didn't make a sound when it fell to the ground, but it also bounced up really high."

When Yuki Kudo had finished feeding the bag of pine nuts, she shook the bag to show the chipmunk. "Little guy, we have finished feeding. Come back to your owner."

The Chipmunk seemed to understand what she said and immediately jumped off her shoulder and ran towards Officer Ayanokouji.

Officer Ayanokouji smiled when he saw Chipmunk coming back. Chipmunk ran into his jacket pocket and stopped disturbing the progress of the case.

Seeing the expressions of Conan and Hattori Heiji, Kudo Yuki knew that they had solved the mystery. She squatted down and whispered in Conan's ear: "Conan, you and Hattori have guessed it. So, should we go order a pizza? As for the clues you want to know, I will tell you when you come back."

Conan and Hattori Heiji's eyes met. They decided to agree to Kudo Yuki's request first, order a pizza and come back to hear what key clues she had.

At this time, everyone in the villa was anxiously waiting for them to solve the mystery and find out the truth.

Everyone came to the corridor on the second floor.

Qingwei Minger spread out her hands, with an anxious look on her face: "Excuse me, can we go back now? Since Zhuben passed away, I have to inform the relevant staff as soon as possible. Regarding the cancellation of the stage play..."

Officer Ayanokouji interrupted him and said, "Please wait a moment. We have not completely ruled out the possibility of homicide. We still have to trouble you to stay and assist the police in the investigation."

Qingwei Minger frowned and retorted: "That is true, but the study where Zhu Ben died is a secret room. In this case, it can only be that he took poison himself."

"It's not like that." Hattori Heiji's voice came from the stairs, and everyone's eyes turned there.
