Chapter 21 21. Tea Party

When Jieyue walked over slowly, Amuro Toru was already leaning against the wall with a contemplative look, apparently having made a preliminary judgment on the case, she leaned against the wall next to him: "How long will it take to solve this case? How long will it take before I start the car?" It's not too long."

"It should be possible before the sunset ends." Toru Amuro mused, "If it's really too late, I can drive you and Miss Kido there."

Toru Amuro's driving skills... Jieyue subconsciously wanted to wipe off her sweat. That was not driving, but a frightening drag racing, so she said helplessly, "I warn you not to act recklessly. Take care of your car and save some money, okay?" good."

Loving a car is important, but a girlfriend is even more important.

However, regarding Jieyue's reminder before, after Amuro laughed, his expression became serious: "I was negligent. Although I already knew that the future is terrible, but at that moment, I couldn't do nothing..."

"I understand you." Seeing that everyone's attention was on the scene of the crime in the room, Jieyue stretched out her hand and squeezed his hand, and then hooked his little finger with her little finger, "Be careful, someone has already asked Past me about tattoos."

"So this time..." Toru Amuro was stunned, he frowned, and apologized to Jieyue: "Thank you for your hard work."

"I didn't make a special trip to run back for you." Jieyue bent her lips, "You have a good idea, but..."

She paused, and looked at him with a half-smile: "Are you breaking your promise? You promised me."

"Then - punish as you like." Amuro Toru's dignified expression was tinged with a smile.

The case this time was a poisoning case. When four former friends were chatting at a tea party, one of the women suddenly fell to the ground and died. After the police arrived, the detectives quickly discovered the suspicious point. She ate with her right hand, but according to the broken cup and lipstick marks, the deceased Ms. Xudong was holding the cup with her left hand.

"Why is that?" Mori Kogoro frowned.

"Because you're holding something in your right hand." Toru Amuro answered this answer naturally. As soon as the words came out, the people around were a little stunned. According to the expressions of the other three ladies, Yuzuki knew that Toru Amuro said yes. up.

"For example, holding a mobile phone to look at photos or something. When a person is too focused on something, he will ignore other things. Therefore, even if the position and the direction of the handle change when holding a teacup, the deceased did not notice. The murderer took advantage of this This kind of mentality, let her drink the poison/drug, and exchange her cup of poisoned tea with the deceased's."

"That's right, compared to secretly poisoning the deceased's cup, it is less risky to reverse the poison after poisoning in one's own cup. It seems that no one uses coasters, and it is very convenient to change places." Toru Amuro analyzed, "No Isn’t that wrong, Teacher Mori?”

Mori Kogoro dumbfounded: "Uh, yes."

On the face of Police Department Mumu, there was an expression of "Why are you a detective again?" Jieyue curled the corner of her mouth at the side. Possessed by strange things, it must always appear in places where cases occur frequently.

"How can it be reversed!" "Only her tea has lemon!" "And please look carefully at the colors of the three cups of tea!" protested the three women.

Jieyue glanced at it, and the tea of ​​the deceased was red, while the other three times were yellow, blue and brown. It was indeed inconvenient to switch based on the color alone, but she felt that Toru Amuro's thinking should be correct. It's just that there are other evidences that can be corroborated.

By the way, he has a really nice coat.

**

"Hey, Ms. Matsuda..." The Mugure Police Department ordered the three ladies to be body-searched separately. He will have a private conversation later, and then he turned around and noticed Jieyue, which surprised him: "You also it's here?"

"I have a doctor's appointment today, and then I visited Lawyer Concubine, and I happen to be here, so go get busy." Jieyue smiled, and greeted Mumu Police Department, "I won't bother you."

"Miss Matsuda." The Mumu Police Department was hesitant to speak, and he glanced at Mouri Kogoro who was not far away, "You should stay away from Brother Mouri in the future, otherwise a girl will always encounter these cases. "It seems that he has been meeting this girl recently...

"Thank you to the police department." Jieyue was a little touched, and she was not the only one who realized that someone in this group had the physique of a god of death?Thanks to the Mumu police department for not thinking that this person is her.

During the interrogation time alone, Jieyue naturally did not go in to get involved. She sat on a chair in the hospital corridor, slightly distracted.

This black tea was made by putting it into a tea bag and soaking it in hot water. As the owner of the ward, she was naturally the most suspicious, but some hatred was something that people would rather do at the risk of being seen through at a glance.

Red hibiscus tea, blue butterfly pea tea, brown mint tea, yellow chamomile tea.

Isn't mint tea mint green?As far as tea art is concerned, she has not been involved too much. I am afraid that everyone can find a motive for this kind of case, and friends with good relationships will have some cracks. Speaking of it, she seems to have read a novel about tea art before. Mention teacup maintenance with baking soda will be shiny.

I always feel that there should be some problems with lemons. Each condition seems to be very independent, but when strung together, there may be wonderful chemical reactions.

Toru Amuro can definitely think of this.

Speaking of which, according to the situation that she always encounters cases recently, nothing will happen to her when she returns to Nagano this time. If something happens, without the three middle-aged young detectives, according to her bottle of dissatisfaction The level of half a bottle is swaying, and I don't know if the case can be solved. Jieyue is deeply worried about this.

Forget it, as long as she and Xia Xi are not suspects then it will be fine.

At this time, Jieyue received a call from Xia Xi, and the other party was very distressed on the phone: "Sister Jieyue, I'm stuck in traffic, please wait for me a little longer, if it doesn't work, I'll run over."

"It's okay, don't be in a hurry." Jieyue thought not very kindly, Xia Xi, you can block me for a while, the case on her side has not been resolved yet.

**

After the private interrogation, Jieyue met Xiaolan in the corridor. It turned out that Xiaolan was looking for Conan, so she pointed to the distance and let Xiaolan successfully picked up Conan: "What are you doing, really? , causing me to search for you all over the hospital!"

"Sister Xiaolan..." Conan's expression was awkward, and Mori Kogoro on the side looked gloating, and Yuzuki was actually the same, with a feeling of "You kid also has today", because she found out that this child only treats Xiaolan Has a unique concern.

"I told you not to run around, why are you disobedient?" Xiaolan asked.

Jieyue suddenly noticed that Toru Amuro's expression was a bit strange. He seemed to be paying attention to the conversation between Xiaolan and Conan, but she always felt that his eyes seemed to penetrate the two people, and he was looking at a far away place. It exists after several years.

I don't know what reminded him of the past, it was a past that even she couldn't guess.

However, it is not a good idea to be distracted at this time, so Jieyue made a phone call, and Toru Amuro came to his senses in shock. It happened that Mori Kogoro also noticed what was wrong with him, and asked with a smile: "You didn't even have anything to do with this poisoning case." Solution?"

"Mr. Mori, even if you can't crack it, then it's even more impossible for me to crack it." Amuro said with a smile, returning to his usual calm and gentle appearance.

Conan turned his head to look at Toru Amuro, but was carried away by Xiaolan. Jieyue was worried about Toru Amuro, but couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Xiaolan was right, it was getting late, The blue sky has turned into a red sunset, and the children are going home.

This is the disadvantage of the little detective, no matter what, he is still a child, and it is all because the school assigns too little homework, so he is too free... Wait, blue and red?

Lemon, baking soda, blue, red, what is their connection?

Jieyue suddenly raised her head and watched Conan turn around and run back towards the case ward, but her attention was only on Conan for a moment before being attracted by Toru Amuro.

Because at this moment, he was leaning on the window sill, looking at the sunset outside the window with a gentle expression, with a slight smile on his lips, with the calmness of a mature man and the spirit of a young man.

I don't know why at this moment, it suddenly hit her.

Really long time no see, Zero-kun.

And at this moment, he turned his eyes and met her eyes, and the smile disappeared into his eyes.

Jieyue pursed her lips and smiled. It seems that you have thought of it, so I won't bother thinking about it anymore. When the sun goes down, she will call and ask where Xia Xi is, otherwise she will have to change the ticket.

**

Conan babbled something that seemed irrelevant, but there were clues hidden in it, but his last sentence "isn't that right, Brother Zero" made Jieyue's face black instantly, this kid really noticed it, noticed it too That’s all—is Brother Zero someone you can call? ? ?

Hey, he seemed to feel that someone was looking at him with super fierce eyes again, Conan shuddered, but turned around and smiled at Shang Jieyue's gentle smile, her brows were full of joy, as if it was just his illusion just now.

Hey, women are scary.

"Why, do you already understand?" Detective Mori asked Toru Amuro, and Toru Amuro hummed and said, "From Conan's reminder just now, I roughly understand it."

The big and the young are really fighting. Conan used the title "Brother Zero" to test Amuro Toru, and pushed his reasoning to the other party. It seems that he said this because Amuro Toru told him the truth. Reasoning, while Toru Amuro used the word "hint" lightly, turning everything around.

The word hint means that one party already knows something that the other party does not know, and then makes a move to make the other party notice. , Conan discovered that the truth was discovered earlier.

Alas, men are really scheming.

"This person had the opportunity to apply the poison in advance, dispose of the container, and stayed in the ward at the time of committing the crime, looking for the best time to swap the poisoned cup with the deceased. And this person can only be you—" Amuro To one of the women, Tohru said, "Ms. Takasaka Juri."

It is the owner of this ward.

"The poisonous part is only touched when drinking tea with the left hand. It is safe to avoid it when drinking tea." Toru Amuro reasoned out the steps of the murderer, facing the doubts of others, His tone was still calm, but Jieyue could hear his confidence.

"That's right, lemons are the key to the modus operandi." Just as he was about to explain, Conan had already started an experiment on making tea next to him. The blue color gradually turned red after adding lemons. Action, Amuro explained, "the tea reacts with the acid of the lemon, so it changes color."

Sure enough, the truth is so, Jieyue hooked the corners of her lips, poured the alkaline baking soda used to wash the teacup back into the tea, and the color of the tea changed back, so she guessed the clue of this case, it was just the key point of acidity and alkalinity She didn't think about it.

Under the fluent narration of the case under the eyes of the public, the technique was successfully deciphered as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and Conan caught the evidence of the murderer, that is, the traces of lipstick on the cup used by the deceased, At this time, it was appearing in the hands of the murderer Ms. Kosaka.

Sure enough, it is unreliable that the lipstick will not stick to the cup or fade. Jieyue licked her lips, and her lipstick was basically eaten by someone.

As for the baking soda, it was hidden on top of the sugar cubes.Speaking of sugar cubes, Jieyue couldn't help but recall the case where he reunited with Toru Amuro. The sweet sugar that was originally used for seasoning was used repeatedly as a tool for crimes. heart, or some people deserve it?

**

Before the setting sun set, the warm orange light shone on everyone, covering everyone with a layer of warmth.Jieyue saw Xia Xi who was waving to her across from the hospital. The girl had already brought her luggage from the store.

"Seriously, isn't this hospital cursed?" Police officer Takagi sighed, seeing a few people looking at him strangely, Takagi explained: "Some bad things happened before."

"What's the matter?" Amuro Toruka asked unintentionally.

This man will never say a word of nonsense, presumably this is the focus of his visit to Kubado Central Hospital today, Jieyue thinks so, it probably has something to do with the Kusuda Ludao he mentioned earlier.

"For a while, the anchor of Crazy Mizumu Rena was hospitalized here, and then a group of wounded swarmed in, causing chaos. It is said that there was also a bombing incident." Officer Takagi explained, and Conan hurriedly reminded him: "Takagi Officer, it's getting late, you should go back to the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"

"Then do you know Kusuda Rikudo?" Amuro asked with a smile.

"Speaking of which, before the bombing incident, there was an accident car near the hospital. I remember the owner of the car was called Kusuda Ludao. It is said that he was originally a patient of this hospital, but he suddenly disappeared. In short, this matter There are a lot of suspicious points, there are a lot of traces of blood splatter in the accident car, some of which are less than one millimeter."

Yuzuki feels that if it is possible, Conan might want to shut up the mouth of this memorable police officer Takagi... It is estimated that Takagi regards Maori detective and the people around him as his own, otherwise it would be really bad if he has no clue Fortunately, Toru Amuro is also one of his own.

Her own people test her own people, her own people scare her own people, Yuzuki laughed, suddenly she frowned, the spatter of blood less than a millimeter sounded like it was caused by a pistol/gun, I don't know why Toru Amuro responded to this I'm very concerned about this matter, ah, don't worry about it, now I have to hurry to the station.

**

"Ah, it's getting late and I won't be able to catch the car..." Jieyue suddenly said anxiously, she looked at Toru Amuro helplessly, and asked him for help in embarrassment: "Mr. Amuro, did you drive today, can I trouble you?" Are you taking me and my friend to the station?"

"Of course, Ms. Matsuda, the parking lot is here." Toru Amuro nodded.

Xia Xi on the opposite side blinked in surprise at the unfamiliar politeness of the two of them.

Amuro opened the co-pilot's door, and Jieyue sat in naturally. Xia Xi sat in the back with her bag in her arms, and looked at Amuro very curiously: "Brother-in-law, thank you for sending me and sister Jieyue off today." She It feels like the atmosphere has changed a lot since the two of them got in the car, and there seems to be some inexplicable intimacy in the air.

Pfft, brother-in-law.

Yuzuki almost choked, Toru Amuro looked a little less serious, he smiled and started the car: "Miss Kido, you are welcome, you are Yuzuki's friend, so I should do a little favor .”

"But next time, can you guys stop giving me dog food to show your affection?" Xia Xi sighed, and she pointed to the safe guard on Amuro Toru's car key, "This is the last time I was with Sister Jieyue What I asked for was indeed given to you, brother-in-law."

"Xiaxi!" Jieyue coughed, "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

"Then ladies, please fasten your seat belts and sit still." Toru Amuro turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, "To prevent you from being late, the speed of the car may be a little faster—"

The white Mazda rushed out like an arrow leaving the string.

Yuzuki thought to herself, if she didn't get puked by the speeding vehicle later, she would be very willing to kiss Amuro Toru farewell on the station platform because of the separation.

As long as you don't vomit...
