I conquer the daily life of the protagonist group with food

In addition to the master who has passed away, there are two other people in the store, both of whom are apprentices of the master.

The master chef is Gao Tianliang, 62 years old, who is the owner of this beef noodle restaurant.

The first person who discovered it was Mizuno Chipei, 29 years old, and he was a senior apprentice of the master. The man who came later was named Kuriyama Jun, 23 years old, and was an apprentice of the master later.

The forensic personnel quickly determined the time of Takata Ryo's death, roughly between 10:30 and 11:30. The cause of death was a heart attack, but it was found that it might be induced by drugs, so homicide was not ruled out. Possibility, but more likely by accident.

After hearing the judgment of the forensic personnel, Police Officer Meguro immediately asked them to conduct further inspections. Although it looked like an accident, there was no guarantee that there were no other factors, so it was necessary to determine the real cause of death.

After learning the time of death, Takagi asked the two people related questions.

"Excuse me, what are you doing between 10:30 and 11:30? Where are you?"

While Conan stood not far away and listened, Jiang Cheng also focused on the testimony of the two people.

First, Chihei Mizuno thought about it and spoke.

"At 10:30, I was helping the chef make the soup base in the store, and I went to stock up with Ah Run before eleven o'clock."

Kuriyama Junze recalled the time.

"At 10:30, I was tidying up the truck compartment in front of the store. At eleven o'clock, I drove to the market with Mizuno to stock up."

There is nothing suspicious about the statements of the two of them, and about their purchase, Takagi also asked another police officer to find witnesses to prove the statement.

Takagi simply recorded the first question, and then he continued to ask.

"Mizuno Chihei, can you tell me about the situation when you first found Ryo Takada?"

"Okay, when Ah Run and I returned to the store, he went to the back door to unload the goods, so I entered the store first, and saw that the soup stove was on, but the master was empty, thinking that he might have gone to the toilet.

Because I still can't grasp the heat of the soup base, I plan to ask the master if the time is up and if I need to turn off the fire. I shouted several times but no one responded, and found that the toilet door was locked inside. I was very upset at the time. In a hurry, he broke the door directly from the outside, and then found the master collapsed inside. "

Chihei Mizuno covered his face with remorse while recalling.

"It's all my fault that I forgot to fix the toilet door, and the master wouldn't be trapped in it, and he would be killed by a sudden heart attack..."

Seeing his broken emotions, Takagi comforted him a few words, and then began to question Kuriyama Jun.

"About Chihei Mizuno's testimony, do you have anything to add? Also, please tell me if anything happened between the time you returned to the store and the time you found Ryo Takada."

Kuriyama Jun didn't find anything special, but he remembered something that might have nothing to do with the incident, but he still thought about it and opened his mouth.

"There is indeed a problem with the toilet door, and it is often difficult to open. The master has told Mizuno many times, but Mizuno seems to have forgotten to fix it. Today, when I was tidying up the truck, I vaguely heard the master's angry and complaining voice. Mizuno, this guy, Wrong miso powder again!"

Takagi grasped the point, and he asked further.

"What time was it?"

"Around ten forty."

"Was Takada Ryo still alive at that time?"

"Yes, I have heard the master speak, and I have not heard anything unusual about him."

As the interrogation continued, Conan stopped listening. He seemed to realize something, and immediately ran to the scene to confirm it. Jiang Cheng also fumbled for his chin, and returned his gaze to the messy row of seasoning jars.

Always feel that something is not right.

etc?Mizuno, you mispacked the miso powder again...

miso powder...

Jiang Cheng read these words a few times in a low voice, and suddenly he thought, since this is an authentic beef noodle restaurant, there is no need for miso powder to make the soup base!

The soup base of beef noodles is clear, and miso powder is usually put in Japanese ramen.

Although Jiang Cheng didn't know if this discovery was useful, but he looked at Conan who was constantly observing the scene, and he still made a point on purpose.

"It's strange."

The sudden sentence made Conan and Toru Amuro look over, and Toru Amuro followed Jiang Cheng's gaze and saw the seasoning jars.

"Have you found anything?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, he said.

"I know beef noodles, which is also a Chinese dish, but the soup base of authentic beef noodles does not use miso powder at all."

As he spoke, he pointed to the unremarkable miso seasoning bottle.

"Besides, this restaurant is quite an authentic beef noodle restaurant. It clearly indicates the thickness and type of noodles, as well as oily spicy peppers, white radish, green onion and garlic sprouts, etc., so I wonder why there is still miso powder on the cooking table This kind of thing is useless at all.”

One sentence awakened Conan, and he instantly connected the clues he had learned together!

The door lock of the toilet, the smell of miso powder, the words of the first person who discovered it...

This is not an accident, but homicide!

Now that everything is ready, it's time to explain the case to Police Officer Megure and the others, but Conan's headache is getting worse when he thinks of this, Uncle Kogoro is not here, Sonoko is not here, and even Dr. Ali is not here!

He looked secretly at Jiang Cheng, as if he was considering whether to put him down for reasoning, but soon his eyes saw Toru Amuro next to him, and he gave up on this idea.

Conan realizes that in the current situation, there may be no way for someone to replace the reasoning, so he can only find another way, and use the method of guidance to let Jiang Cheng or Mr. Amuro reason by himself.

In the end, his eyes were still on Toru Amuro. After all, this man also recognized Uncle Kogoro as his master. Although Uncle Kogoro is a confused detective, this Toru Amuro is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His reasoning ability seems to be better than Uncle Kogoro. Too much.

"Ah la la?" Conan pretended to be curious and opened his mouth. Kawaii's voice made Toru Amuro and Jiang Cheng look at him.

Seeing them all looking over, Conan pointed to the door lock.

"The uncle just said that he broke in from the outside, but the lock is not broken at all. The quality is really good."

Conan's words immediately made Amuro suspicious. He thought again about Mizuno Chihei's testimony just now. Since the door lock was not broken, it meant that Mizuno Chihei was lying just now, and as the first person who discovered it, he must have Lots of room to maneuver.

At this moment, the forensic personnel brought Gao Tianliang's identification report.

"Officer Megure, we found the drug ingredients of lidocaine and quinidine in Ryo Takata's blood."

"What?" Mu Mu Shisan took the report, and then heard the forensic personnel continue to explain.

"These two drugs are originally used to treat atrial fibrillation, but if people with heart disease are exposed to small amounts, they can induce heart attacks, and lidocaine also has a small amount of anesthetic effect."

Now it's all clear, the culprit has been identified!There was a smile on Toru Amuro's face. His sunny and handsome appearance made it easy for people to think that he was a cheerful and friendly person.

"Officer Meguro, I think there is no doubt that this is a homicide."

Facing Toru Amuro's remarks, Mu Mushisan looked at him seriously.

"Is there any clue?"

"Yes, I have also sorted out the case." Toru Amuro looked quite confident, and he set his sights on Mizuno Chihei.

"The prisoner is him!" Without the slightest hesitation, Toru Amuro pointed out the person directly.

Mizuno, whose name was called, was obviously in a hurry. Why did he suddenly become a murderer? Although he didn't fix the toilet door in time, the master died accidentally!

"Although I regret that I didn't repair the door lock in time, I hope you don't point fingers at random!" Chihei Mizuno looked innocent, as if Toru Amuro was framing him.

However, Police Officer Megure didn't listen to his excuses, instead he looked at Amuro and asked further.

"If Mizuno is the criminal, what evidence do you have?"

Toru Amuro smiled confidently, staring at Chihei Mizuno, and said that everything was under control.

"Although you used Kuriyama Jun to make an alibi, don't you know that the alibi provided by him, who is also a suspect, cannot be used as evidence to remove the suspicion. In other words, the two of you can be said to be No alibi."

"Even if that's the case, then Arun and I went to the vegetable market to buy goods! The merchants over there can prove it!" Mizuno tried to prove it in other ways.

"Yes, you can indeed ask the people from the vegetable market to prove it for you, but you are the one who killed Gao Tianliang when he was in the vegetable market!" Although it sounds unbelievable, as long as the calculation is good, it is not impossible.

Toru Amuro didn't argue with Mizuno any more, but looked at Police Officer Megure and continued.

"Mizuno knew that Ryo Takada had a history of heart disease, so he took advantage of this. He mixed miso powder and medicine into the seasoning jar. When Ryo Takada was making the soup, he felt something was wrong, and the beef noodles were not made. Miso powder is needed, which is why Kuriyama Jun heard the deceased complain that Mizuno packed the wrong seasoning.

In fact, at that time, the deceased had already taken the mixed drug. The drug lidocaine had an anesthesia effect. In addition, the deceased had a sudden seizure, so he couldn't cry out at all, and fell on the floor of the toilet in pain. At that time, Jun Kuriyama was tidying up the truck compartment outside the back door, so the only possibility left was Mizuno!

Mizuno locked the door from the outside before going to the vegetable market. The deceased could not get first-aid medicine, which could only lead to a heart attack and death. After they returned from the vegetable market, Mizuno, as the first person to discover, pretended that the toilet door could not be opened. If he can break in from the outside, the door lock is not damaged, which means he opened the door normally from the outside. "

Hearing what Toru Amuro said was like seeing it with his own eyes, Mizuno Chihei continued to refute in a panic.

"What you said is all your guesswork! Come up with evidence."

"You want evidence? Of course there is." Amuro Toru has already found it, and he pointed to the bottle of miso powder on the cooking table with his finger.

"The bottle of miso powder that was added to the drug was replaced by you. I don't think there should be a label on the bottle that says it is miso powder. Otherwise, Ryo Takada would not have misunderstood the seasoning. You made him think it was a seasoning for daily use, so it was directly Added it to the soup, only to find out it was miso after adding it.”

Having said that, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but speak.

"You also threw away the pot of soup that added the wrong miso. There is still a faint smell of miso in the pool. Now you have directly added miso to this pot of soup. For authentic beef noodles, the soup base needs to be used first. Beef bones and other materials are boiled for a long time, and some seasonings are used to season them after they are cooked."

Mizuno, who was punctured, obviously couldn't cry without seeing the coffin, and his whole body became extreme and shouted.

"These are all your guesses! And you, how do you know how to make the soup base? It's all your nonsense. How could I harm the master."

When the matter developed to this point, Toru Amuro shook his head, and said to Police Officer Megure a little speechlessly.

"Officer, you can ask the forensics personnel to verify the fingerprints on the bottle, presumably he is in such a hurry that he can't even put on gloves, and there should be only Mizuno's fingerprints on that bottle, as for the person who was replaced with the drug mixed That seasoning bottle must be found in the store, and I think it has Ryo Takada's fingerprints on it."

Megushisan nodded, and he immediately asked the forensic personnel to inspect the bottle, and it was as Toru Amuro said, that there were only Mizuno's fingerprints on it, and later he found another one at the garbage disposal not far away. The seasoning bottle with the label still has residual powder in it. After identification, it is also the same as the reasoning. There is medicine mixed in it, and Ryo Takada's fingerprints are on it.

The evidence was conclusive, and Mizuno finally pleaded guilty.

But he said with a look of resentment.

"Why did the master hand over the shop to Kuriyama Jun? Obviously, I am the first apprentice of the master! I can already make noodles very well, so why did the master still choose him."

After Jiang Cheng heard his words, he immediately refuted.

"Just because you used miso powder, do you understand! If you use miso powder, it means that you don't know how to make beef noodles at all. The most essential part of making beef noodles is not ramen, but the soup base. You don't even know the soup base. Do you want to become a teacher if you know how to do it? You don’t know how to do it at all.”

At this time, Jun Kuriyama was also silent for a moment and spoke.

"The master didn't hand over the shop to me. He always wanted you to run it, but the master said that you were too stubborn. You only learned how to make ramen noodles, but you didn't learn how to make soup base. The master asked me to Let me tell you in private that he doesn’t want to hurt your self-confidence, he said that it’s not bad to know how to make good noodles, so that when you learn the soup base, there will be successors in the store.”

Unexpectedly, this was the result. Mizuno Chihei realized that he was wrong. He cried loudly and was finally taken away by the police.

Police officer Takagi also found some information. It turned out that the master chef of this shop had been to Lanzhou, China when he was young. When he ate the first bite of beef noodles, he made up his mind to learn this kind of ramen, so he studied in China. It was seven or eight years before I returned to Japan and opened this store.

Hearing what Takagi said, Jiangcheng understood now, no wonder this shop is quite authentic.

After the case was resolved, several people from Jiangcheng came out of the store, but they were all a little heavy. After all, this kind of thing happened, and it still had some influence.
