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

Amuro Toru looked at Conan's little tricks, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "Conan has a lot of tricks, and he can always make some trouble, but he can always come in handy at the critical moment. 】

He turned his head and looked at Kudo Yuki beside him, and murmured in a low voice: "This Conan, he can't stay idle for a moment, and he is a great help."

Kudo Yuki smiled and responded softly, "His reasoning ability is indeed outstanding. Let him take the spotlight this time. We can just sit there as spectators and take action when there is danger. I hope we can gain more today."

After that, she turned her gaze back to the crime scene.

Officer Yokomizo turned around, staring at Okiya Subaru with a sharp gaze, and asked with a bit of scrutiny: "Who are you?"

"I'm Conan's friend, Okiya Subaru, and I'm currently a graduate student at the university. Today, I'm leading a team with Mr. Wakasa to accompany the children to the beach."

Officer Yokomizo frowned slightly, and his eyes moved to Wakasa Rumi beside him, with a puzzled look on his face: "Wakasa teacher?"

At this time, the three little ones immediately gathered around and started introducing themselves to each other.

"She is the deputy head teacher of our class."

“Just a little clumsy sometimes.”

“But he’s really nice!”

Officer Ninety-Nine questioned, "But as a teacher, you should always keep an eye on the children. Now that we have children at the murder scene, we have to check for any traces they left behind, which will delay our progress in identifying the suspect."

When Wakasa Rumi heard this, she hurried forward and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. It was my oversight. I'm really sorry."

Just when the scene was a little awkward, Huiyuan Ai spoke up to divert everyone's attention: "Huh? Wasn't that Usui killed in the backyard? So it seems that the suspects are the three people who have the key to the backyard door, right?"

Seeing this, Conan immediately responded: "When the body was found in this room, the door was locked, right?"

Mentian Shuliang nodded, "That's right."

Upon hearing this, Officer Yokomizo strode up to the three Haizhijia shop assistants, scanned them one by one, and then asked seriously: "Why do you have the key?"

Koriyama Takashi crossed his arms and murmured as a matter of course: "We are waiters at the Sea House, so it's normal for us to have keys."

Mao Muxiang pointed to where the food was stored and patiently explained: "The backyard is where the spare ingredients and consumables are stored. We were given the key so that we can use them at any time."

Officer Yokomizo's expression straightened, and he continued to ask, "What is your relationship with the victim?"

Koriyama Takaki's face flashed a barely perceptible nervousness, and he subconsciously looked at Kayaki Maika and Menda Sakuryo: "I, we are just ordinary friends, right?"

Kayaki Maika and Menda Sakuryo quickly agreed.

"Yes."

"Yes."

After hearing their answers, Officer Yokomizo frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "In short, we need to collect your fingerprints and palm prints first, and then question you individually to confirm your whereabouts at the time of the incident."

The first person to be questioned alone was Kayaki Maika.

Officer Yokomizo looked at her and asked sternly, "The crime was committed when Mr. Usui was taking a nap. The store's closing time is from 3 to 4 p.m., right?"

Kayaki Maika nodded. "At that time, Mr. Usui asked me to buy pineapple juice. I ran a long way and bought it at the vending machine."

"Why would you go all the way to buy it from a vending machine? Isn't there a convenience store nearby?"

"The kind of juice that Mr. Usui likes is not available in the convenience store."

“Is it out of stock because you forgot to restock it? Or is it just the pineapple juice that’s selling so well?”

"They must be sold out... All the juices are 200 yen, and we haven't counted the sales of each type of juice."

"And then? The person who found the body was..."

"I came back from shopping and the store was about to open in the evening, but Mr. Usui and Takaki were not there. I thought they might still be sleeping in the backyard, so I went with Sakura to wake them up.

As a result, I only saw Guiqi still sleeping, but I didn't see Mr. Usui. I only saw a strange thing wrapped in a towel blanket. When Sakura unwrapped it, he found that it was Mr. Usui's body. "As she said this, Kayaki Maika showed a look of horror on her face, as if she recalled the terrible scene again.

Next, Takaki Koriyama was called before Officer Yokomizo.

Koriyama Takashi sat up on the chair, raised his thumb and pointed at Kayaki Maika and Menda Sakuryo behind him. "I was sleeping in the backyard at the time, and I woke up when Sakuryo and Maika called me."

"You also sleep in the backyard during the store closing time?"

"No, it's not. I wanted to play some mobile games in the air-conditioned backyard to keep cool. After drinking juice and eating snacks, I felt a little full and sleepy." Koriyama Takashi put his hands in his trouser pockets and muttered, "Come to think of it, this has happened a few times before."

"Oh?" Officer Yokomizo raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Koriyama Takaki scratched his head and said, "Maybe my body is not suitable for drinking grapefruit juice, even though I love it very much."

Conan listened, thinking to himself: [Grapefruit juice!] His mind quickly began to sort out the clues.

The last person to be questioned was Menda Sakuryo, who took the initiative to tell Officer Yokomizo about the situation: "Between 3 and 4 p.m., I went to my grandmother's house, which is about a 16-minute walk from here, to give her the prescription medicine prescribed by the doctor. There is no pharmacy near my grandmother's house."

"Have you seen your grandmother?"

"I left my grandma's key at home, so I came back without delivering the medicine. Grandma usually takes a nap during that time, and I thought it would be bad to wake her up by ringing the doorbell, so I wanted to open the door myself, put down the medicine, and leave as usual."

"So what happened after you came back here?"

"I was getting ready to open the shop, and then Maika came back, and just like she said 'let's go to the backyard and wake up Usui-san and Takaki', right?"

Mao Muxiang nodded and agreed: "Yeah."

Officer Yokomizo pondered these words, his expression solemn: "In other words, none of you three have alibis, and you are all suspects."

When the three heard this, their mouths opened in shock.

Mentian Shuliang hastily retorted, "Wait, wait a minute. Let's not talk about Takaki for now. If Maika and I strangled Mr. Usui in the backyard, how could Takaki not wake up?"

When Koriyama Takaki heard this, he immediately retorted: "Don't tell me what I mean yet?"

Conan took the opportunity to walk over to Menda Sakuryo and asked politely, "Excuse me, what medicine did you give grandma?"

"It's medicine for high blood pressure."

"Did that Usui guy also drink grapefruit juice?"

"Yeah, he was complaining about the lack of pineapple juice."

Koriyama Takaki was confused: "So what?"

Huihara Ai put her hands on her hips and continued the conversation slowly, "Maybe that's why you and Usui didn't wake up in the backyard.

Nifedipine is a calcium antagonist. The ingredients in grapefruit juice can hinder the metabolism of calcium antagonists, increase the concentration of drugs in the blood, and enhance the efficacy of the drugs. It may cause symptoms of hypotension, such as palpitations, dizziness, headaches, etc. Some people may even faint. "

Koriyama Takaki widened his eyes in shock: "So this is also the reason why I suddenly felt sleepy?"

Officer Yokomizo then asked, "How do we get them to take the medicine?"

Subaru Okiya pondered for a moment and speculated, "Maybe he removed the straw from the outside of the juice box packaging, filled it with powder, and then glued the straw back with adhesive.

In this way, when you drink juice with this straw, you will drink the powder. Although it may feel a little strange when drinking, people who are not nervous will just think that they are drinking the sediment at the bottom of the juice box. "

"But, how can we ensure that Mr. Usui gets the box of juice filled with drug powder?"

"I think all the juice box straws are filled with powder."

Officer Yokomizo murmured worriedly, "What if a customer drinks it..."

Subaru Okiya interrupted Officer Yokomizo and said, "No. We also bought some juice at this Ocean House. After committing the crime, the criminal should have torn off the straws from the other juice packaging and thrown them away."

Officer Yokomizo turned around and told Officer Kujuku, "Go check it out."

Officer Ninety-Nine responded and immediately turned around to investigate.

Koriyama Takaki spoke up at this time: "So, I was eating snacks with big mouthfuls, and I didn't pay attention when I drank the juice, so I fell asleep. However, after taking a sip of the juice, Mr. Usui did say, 'Is this juice too old?' and then gulped it down."

He turned his head and looked at Mentian Shuliang, with a hint of anger in his tone: "I never expected that I would be drugged and killed by you."

Mian Tian Shuoliang looked aggrieved and quickly explained: "Wait a minute, I just asked the doctor to prescribe another one because I couldn't find the medicine. If one of you stole it, you can do it too, right?"

Maika Kayaki and Takaki Koriyama also hurried to defend themselves.

"How, how could it be!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The three of them immediately started arguing with each other.

Following the sound of their quarrel, Wakasa Rumi slowly approached Huihara Ai, leaned down slightly, with an inquiring light in her eyes, and said softly: "Huihara, you are amazing! Where did you learn all this knowledge about drugs?"

Conan's heart tightened when he saw this, but he pretended to be calm on his face and explained in a panic: "I heard it from Professor Agasa. He often teaches us some strange knowledge."

Wakasa Rumi narrowed her eyes slightly, with a skeptical look on her face: "Really? You're just like a scientist somewhere. Teacher, you're really surprised."

Huibara Ai pursed her lips and remained silent. She knew in her heart that it was useless to say more at this moment, so as not to arouse more suspicion.

Toru Amuro and Yuki Kudo heard everything that just happened through the eavesdropping device.

Kudo Yuki frowned slightly and whispered to Amuro Toru: "Ai can always speak such professional drug knowledge so calmly, no wonder it aroused Wakasa Rumi's suspicion."

Amuro Toru responded in a low voice: "Yes, but Conan should be able to handle it. It's just that Wakasa Rumi is a woman who is really hard to predict."

In the backyard of the Sea House Hotel, the dispute between Menda Sakuryo and Koriyama Takaki continues.

"If it was one of you who killed Mr. Usui, I will never let you go!" Menda Sakuryo pointed at Koriyama Takaki and Kayaki Maika with anger on his face.

"Why are you not going to let it go?" Koriyama Takaki was not to be outdone. He took a step forward and responded aggressively.

At this tense moment, Officer Yokomizo rushed to calm people down: "Okay, okay, the Identification Department has just checked the towel blanket that wrapped the body. As long as the fingerprints on the towel blanket match those of one of you, the criminal will be..."

Before he could finish his words, Officer Ninety-Nine came running over in a panic, panting and reporting, "Officer Yokomizo, the towel blanket wrapped around the body is the towel blanket that Haizhiya used to spread on the stools for guests to sit on."

Officer Yokomizo was immediately surprised: "Is that so?"

"Looking from the seaside, the towel blanket in the middle is missing."

The three little ones who had been listening nearby suddenly widened their eyes in shock, their faces full of disbelief.

"Wait a minute, isn't that where we sit?"

"No way! There might be my fingerprints on the towel blanket."

"Then we're in trouble!"

Seeing how panicked they were, Huihara Ai warned them, "It's okay, we didn't grab the towel very hard."

Conan was lost in his own thoughts, thinking to himself: [Hold it very hard?]

The next second, there was a "swish" sound, and everyone's attention was drawn over.

It turned out that Yuan Tai's vest strap broke, and it instantly became a one-shoulder vest. The crack exposed Yuan Tai's round shoulders to the air.

Mitsuhiko quickly reminded him: "Yuanta, the shoulder part of your vest is broken."

Ayumi couldn't help but laugh and joked: "It's like the Romans of the past."

Yuan Tai looked at his vest in surprise, "Ah! I met an aunt's dog before, and it bit this part of the vest very vigorously."

When Conan heard the word "Romans", a flash of lightning seemed to pass through his mind, and he instantly had an idea and thought of the key.

He immediately picked up his phone, his fingers moving rapidly across the screen, typing in text to search, thinking to himself: "Wait a minute, I have seen a video like this online before."

After he clicked the search button and saw the content, surprise flashed across his eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He had found a breakthrough in the case.

Seeing that Conan seemed to have found a clue, Kudo Yuki whispered to Amuro Toru, "Toru, it looks like the mystery of this case is about to be solved."

Toru Amuro nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving Conan. He knew Conan's abilities very well, and he also knew that once Conan showed such an expression, the truth would be revealed soon.

Suddenly, Officer Yokomizo's cell phone rang, and he quickly answered the call: "This is Yokomizo, yes. Identification officer...the fingerprint has been found!"

When Mao Mu Mai Xiang heard this, her face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled slightly, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes: "Well, well, actually I drank too much last night, and I lay in that position before the store opened at 10 o'clock in the morning. Maybe they can find my hair or sweat or something."

To be continued...
