Conan's Dark Night Festival

Walking in with his pockets in his pocket, the man's lips were pink, which seemed to be caused by potassium hydroxide poisoning.

I tapped the woman's shoulder: "Big sister, are you with that big brother and this dead brother?"

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, sat up straight and said, "Well, we were traveling to Osaka together." She looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and her voice sobbed again: "I just didn't expect... Jiro would meet such a sort of thing..."

I took out a tissue from my pocket and handed it to her: "Big Sister, you can't come back to life after death. Let's mourn."

"Well..." She took my tissue, but couldn't help crying again.

Although I say so, I'm sure.This case is definitely a homicide case.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived at the scene. "The deceased is Imai Jiro, 10 years old, a photographer. The cause of death is..." The doctor who identified him was about to say, but I said first: "The cause of death was from potassium hydroxide. Not only did the deceased have no lips after death. It turned purple, but pink lips appeared instead. Besides, the dead man’s mouth still smelled of almonds, which is the symptom that will appear after taking potassium hydroxide.”

"Little brother, you...you look familiar." Officer Mu Mu looked at me curiously.

"Kudou Yuya, this is my name." I smiled and said to Police Officer Megure.

Officer Megure beat the palm of his left hand with his right hand excitedly, and suddenly realized: "You are the son of Kudo Yusaku, no wonder you know so much, Yusaku taught you."

you are wrong. .How could Yusaku teach me such a thing. .However, in order to pretend to be a child.I had to naively say to Police Officer Mumu: "That's right. My father taught me."

"Megure, don't desert yourself at work." This police officer seems to be Megure's boss. .do not know. .

"Yes. Xiye, uncle is working first. Go and play." After Mu Mu greeted me, he turned to the two fellow travelers and asked, "Can you two introduce yourself?"

The woman was still emotionally unstable, but she could still hear her words clearly: "My name is Mieko Oda, I'm Jiro's girlfriend, and I'm a photographer just like Jiro."

The tall man still had a serious face: "I am their boss, Akuno Tsugo."

The identified police officer suddenly ran over: "Officer, the time of death of the deceased has been found out. It was around 13:30. This is the autopsy report."

Police Officer Mu Mu's superior took the report and read it out: "It was caused by potassium hydroxide. However, no food related to the death was found. What's going on!" The superior suddenly became angry and shouted at the police officer Ho, tsk tsk, this police officer is really fierce.No wonder police officer Mumu is still a rookie now.

I looked sympathetically at Police Officer Megure who was sweating coldly, and mourned for him.However, let me survey the scene.The important content has already been obtained.

So I turned and came to where the dead man and the two companions sat.A bottle of capsules is on the table.I took a closer look at the words, um. .It's like treating a cold.Is it the deceased's?

I came to Oda's side and pulled her clothes: "Big sister."

"Huh? What's the matter, little brother." Oda squatted down friendly.

"Well, does my sister's boyfriend have a cold?"

"That's right. He just caught a cold recently, so he has been taking that bottle of medicine with capsules." Oda pointed to the capsules on the table and said.

Just as I was about to ask the next question, Police Officer Megure suddenly interrupted: "Miss Oda, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes, yes." Oda stood up and said.

"Excuse me, did Mr. Imai eat anything before he collapsed due to the poison?" Officer Megure, you have finally asked this point.No loss is the person who will be the Boss in the future.

"No. He has been sitting there watching the scenery." Oda refused without thinking.

"Then can we check the luggage?"

"Um... well."

I put my hand on my chin as if thinking, and came to their place again.Strangely, Mr. Imai didn't eat any food before he died, and it was impossible to be poisoned just looking at the scenery.Damn... What method did he use to poison Mr. Imai?

I looked up and observed this position carefully, and my eyes suddenly glanced at the bottle of capsules. The instructions on it read: Take three times a day, one tablet at a time, preferably within one hour after meals.

Maybe, it's possible... I took out the handkerchief from my pocket and opened the cover. There is nothing strange about the medicine, but there are traces of the medicine sticking on the cover.Could it be that it has expired?

Hehe...how is this possible.I closed the lid speechlessly, and when I turned around, I saw Oda rummaging through the contents of his luggage and complaining: "Really, why didn't Jiro bring towels and other washing things?"

Akuno said without being too surprised: "It's not surprising. This guy Imai has always been like this."

Officer Meguro walked over: "Miss Oda, are you still okay?"

"Oh. Alright." Oda handed the bag to Police Officer Meguro: "Here, our luggage is here. Really, why do you want to check our bags? Don't you think we are murderers? .”

The fierce police officer stepped forward and said: "This case is absolutely impossible to commit suicide. According to your statement, the deceased did not eat anything before being poisoned and died. Potassium hydrochloride works very quickly. poison, and you two are walking with the dead, then the murderer who carried out this murder plan must be between the two of you."

"Hey! You don't want to be bloody, but tell me why I want to kill Imai." Akuno said excitedly, throwing away his previous seriousness.

"Huh? We didn't say you were the murderer. Could it be..."

"Akuno... did you really kill Jiro?"

"I... I'm not. I was just excited for a while. It's the first time I was misunderstood, and I felt very uncomfortable."

"Okay. Mumu, take these suspicious items over for inspection."

"Yes."

Ugh... I thought they had the hang of it.Didn't think I'd have to ask myself.

I came to Oda again, and asked innocently: "Big sister, what did the big brother mean when he said 'Imai has always been like this'?"

"Oh. Because Jiro is afraid of trouble. He is more afraid of trouble than ordinary people. I remember one time, when he agreed with us to go camping because he thought it was trouble, we asked him He wanted to bring a tent, but he didn’t bring it when he passed, and he said that he should just buy another one when he arrived at the place. It’s the same this time, he still didn’t bring it, it’s really troublesome. In his words Say, just buy another one." Oda said helplessly.

If that's the case... "Did the dead brother..." I motioned Oda to squat down, and whispered in her ear.

"Little brother... how do you know." After hearing this, Oda looked at me in surprise.

I turned the hat I was wearing backwards on my head, and the corner of my mouth curved into a beautiful arc: "Kudou Xiya, you are a detective."

【Chapter22】Murder incident on main railway line (2)

"Then you must know who killed Jiro, right?!" Oda said loudly while pulling my arm excitedly.

Because of this voice, other people also turned their attention to me, including Belmode.

"Little Kudo family, do you already know the murderer of this case?" The vicious police officer asked me seriously.

I nodded: "Well, I already know how the murderer killed Mr. Imai without eating anything or detecting any poison on his clothes. And, the evidence that is crucial in this case."

"Oh? We've been thinking about the case for so long, but you, a kid, solved it all at once?" The police officer looked at me in surprise.

At this time, the smile on my face became stronger, and I deliberately amplified my voice slightly, as if to say to the murderer: "That's because you have misunderstood the direction. You have always put Mr. Imai as the key to solving the case." How he was poisoned and killed before he fell to the ground. But the key point is what Mr. Imai ate before he fell."

Officer Megure immediately vetoed my thoughts: "Impossible. Potassium hydrochloride is a quick-acting medicine. Generally, if you take it, it will take effect immediately. There is no one like Mr. Imai who sat for ten minutes without incident. .”

I pushed the capsule jar on the table forward so they could all see it: "What about this?"

"this is……"

"That's right, if the potassium hydroxide is put in the capsule, then it's a different matter." I paused, glanced at the guy who was sweating coldly, and continued with a smile: "If the capsule is taken into the body It takes at least 15 minutes to fully digest the poison. Therefore, the time when Mr. Imai took the poison was actually 3:15."

"Hmph, a child is a child. There are so many capsules, how could he pick the poison just right? Or do you want to say that the murderer put potassium hydroxide in every capsule in this bottle of medicine?" Akuno interjected and sneered.

"That's right. Xiye, it's impossible to pick one just right." Officer Mu Mu also agreed with this point of view.

I shook my head and gave him a confident smile back: "The murderer doesn't need to do this at all."
