The middle-aged man died.

Because of being able to see monsters that ordinary people can't see, Yotsuya Miko occasionally gets some news that ordinary people don't know, so the moment the middle-aged man in front of him fell down, Miko saw the maggot lying on another man's shoulder. The answer came from the mouth of the monster.

[Hee hee, dead. ]

[Hee hee hee. ]

The limp monster showed its frightening teeth, which made Yotsuya Miko's heart drop to the bottom all at once.

It is not known who made the screams.In short, after Jianzi, who was stiff all over, came back to her senses, she was tremblingly embraced by her friend Xiaohua.

Another monster behind Xiaohua is very close.

Jianzi was not comforted at all, but felt that his nerves were about to break.

The detectives at the other table rushed to the scene immediately.Mori Kogoro squatted down and reached out to check the middle-aged man's breathing.

"already dead."

The famous detective known as Sleeping Kogoro closed his eyes and shook his head slowly.

Toru Amuro and Conan looked at each other.

.

outside the store.

Because of the stalking behavior, they were caught by a passerby, and the speechless Fu Heihui and Yu Zhang Youren had to take a little detour.They originally wanted to wait for Toru Amuro to leave before continuing to approach the two female high school students who were haunted by the curse, but because they saw the righteous passer-by enter the restaurant without hesitation after parting, they suddenly stopped in place .

Just when they were hesitating and discussing what to do, the screams from inside caught them off guard, making their expressions instantly sharp, and they rushed in with almost no hesitation in tacit understanding.

"...?"

When Fu Heihui and Polygonum cuspidatum broke in, no one had reacted yet.

When the waiter blocked the exit under the instructions of the boss, they had already stayed indoors.

"Hui, could it be—"

Yuzu Yujin gradually understood what happened here from the whispers of the people around him, and then suddenly realized something, his pupils constricted.His expression seemed to be crying for a moment, and he became panicked.

As a lively rescue dog who loves life and regards saving others as his professional mission, nothing hits him more than the bad news of "failed to save others" and "failed to protect others under his nose".

"No." Fu Heihui looked at it for a while, shook his head, raised his hand and gently tugged on the opponent's sleeve, he pulled the distraught large dog to his side, and then blocked the tiger's stick with his slightly thin back compared with it Sight, and then said softly, "It wasn't that curse that killed him, otherwise with the strength of that curse, the body wouldn't be so complete, and it's impossible for only one person to die."

Fu Heihui just finished speaking in a low voice.

Not far away, the elementary school student who was examining the corpse raised his head, confirming Hui's conjecture.

"Uncle Maori, the other party's mouth tastes like bitter almonds."

Mori Kogoro nodded: "Ah, it's cyanic acid poisoning."

Curse doesn't play tricks like quietly pouring poison into human mouths.

The only ones who will go to great lengths to poison and cover up the way of poisoning to evade responsibility as a means to kill the same kind... are only human beings themselves.

This is a murder case.

.

The police arrived soon.

The name of the deceased was Yaya Ichiro, 42 years old, the president of a company mainly engaged in pharmaceuticals.

The three people at the same table were named Nakatake Tomoya, Okayama Kazuya, and Maruyama Jun. They were all members of the club. According to the dictation, they came out to get together after get off work at the request of the deceased.

Maruyama: "Because a special drug launched by our company recently sold well, the president called us out, saying it was a celebration, but the real purpose was to ask about our follow-up publicity plan... I am from the planning department, and they The two belong to the drug research and development department."

Nakatake Tomoya: "I set the location in this restaurant, and I made an appointment for the dishes before. After the president arrives, I will have the dishes served on the table."

Kazuya Qiushan: "I'm late, and I don't know the situation very well. When I got here, the president had already drunk and eaten. As for the situation on the table...it was the girl who accidentally put the water on the table. The glass jug hit our table, she accidentally slipped and fell when she was going to pick it up, and as a result, our dishes were all dirty. The president was probably a little drunk, and kept scolding the child, and then fell down .”

With red eyes, Yoshitani nodded silently.

Xiaohua hugged him, and said nervously, "I didn't do it on purpose!"

Intentional or not.

Because he was the last person the deceased talked to, Jianzi was temporarily kept, waiting for the police to investigate, but considering that he was still a minor, the criminal police asked Jianzi's companion to take him aside for a while.

The results of the inspection will come out soon.

It is sodium cyanide, 0.05-0.1g is highly toxic that can cause sudden death, and on the fingers of the deceased's left hand, residual sodium cyanide was detected.Sodium cyanide was also found in the liquid on the table and the remaining liquid in the deceased's wine glass.

The same poison twice?

Conan frowned.

This is a Chinese restaurant, and there is a plate of roast duck burritos on the table—a kind of roast duck slices, cucumbers, green onions and other ingredients on the table, and is equipped with a crust and sauce, and the guests take the crust with their own hands. This dish is rolled up with your desired toppings and sauces.According to the three confessions, it can be confirmed that this dish was the favorite of the deceased during his lifetime, and he often brought people over to eat it. It is not difficult to imagine how the other party swallowed the poison along with his fingers.

"I have prepared plastic gloves, but I have to take them with my hands... The person who poisoned should be very aware of the habits of the deceased, but if the other party's hands are already contaminated with poison powder, why bother to pour it into the wine glass?" Conan muttered to himself.

On the other side, the famous detective Mori Kogoro has been entrusted by the Yokohama police to assist in the investigation.

Just before Mori Kogoro said anything, the criminal police found a paper bag with sodium cyanide powder residue in Kazuya Okayama's briefcase.

"What, are you an idiot, you actually stuffed the package that was contaminated with residue into the briefcase after taking the poison." Mao Li had an expression that was over before he had time to show it: "There is no doubt that the prisoner is this guy! "

Kazuya Qiu Shan—Ji Jianzi saw the man lying on his shoulders cursing, and raised his head expressionlessly when he heard the words, without any fear of being exposed on his face.

"In conclusion, it's not me."

"Don't quibble, there are even physical evidence!"

"Whether you believe it or not, it's really not me. Of course, I don't deny that I intended to poison him tonight. The poison in the wine glass was made by me."

"..." Jianzi raised his eyes to look at the other party.

Qiu Shanhe also continued: "My original plan was to sprinkle poison powder into the president while pouring the wine. I have learned magic for a while, so it is not difficult to cover up this, but I haven't waited for this guy. Drink the wine from the glass, that little girl messed up my plans."

Jianzi directly threw a pot of water over, and the glass of poisoned wine was also completely spilled.

"I thought my plan had failed. If I didn't really know this child, I thought she did it on purpose. After all, in my opinion, the way she fell was too deliberate." Qiu Shanhe also said and looked at Seeing Zi, he looked away before seeing Zi was nervous, and slowly smiled on his expressionless face, "But I underestimated how much this guy is hated, even if he didn't drink my poisoned wine, this guy dead too."

"Do you have evidence to prove that what you said is true?" Interpol asked him.

"No, but it doesn't matter, you can put the blame on me, anyway, as long as this guy dies, it's enough for me."

"Why did you poison? What was the reason for committing the crime?"

Qiu Shanhe also looked a bit cold: "My sister died because of him, that's all."

Qiu Shanhe also refused to say anything.

He closed his eyes with a relaxed expression, as if he saw a future where he would go to jail with two charges of poisoning and murder.

Jianzi saw the maggot-like monster lying on the opponent's shoulder slowly moving down, and after landing, it began to crawl towards her little by little, as if attracted by something, and approached unconsciously.

"!!"

Jianzi, who had had enough of being frightened today, subconsciously took a step back.

However, the quasi-first-level curse spirit behind Xiaohua grabbed the same kind that moved to his feet with one hand, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

devoured.

Jian Zi unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it seemed that because her step back just now attracted the attention of the quasi-level one curse spirit, the hideous-looking monster slowly moved its face in front of Jianzi, and tilted its head to observe.

So close……!

To pretend not to see.

Just pretend you can't see it.

...Woo, you shouldn't have come in in the first place, why should you meddle in your own business?I obviously have no ability to interfere with anything.

He was scolded and may have to pay compensation, but in the end he couldn't save anyone.

So close.

Don't lean any further.

Jianzi forcibly distracted her gaze, pretending to be unaware of the curse spirit approaching her eyes, but her sore eye sockets seemed to be about to burst into tears in a second.

Fu Heihui vaguely seemed to realize something.

"Kumba, you stay here, I have something to go over."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to those two girls, I want to verify a conjecture."

"I'll go as well--"

"No, you stay where you are."

Hui put his hands on the other's shoulders, brought his face closer, and tried to put on a serious face and spoke to him seriously.Then, taking advantage of the daze of the knotweed Youren, Fu Heihui stepped forward without hesitation. He took off his uniform coat and held it in his hand, and then bypassed the criminal police and waiters. My friend is very scared now" as an excuse, and finally approached the two female high school students whom he and Knotweed had been paying attention to for a long time.

"If you don't mind, please cover this."

Fu Heihui didn't give the other party a chance to ask questions, and directly assumed the identity of an acquaintance, and covered Jianzi's head with his coat, blocking Jianzi and Manjuling from seeing each other.

"Your clothes are wet, it would be better to put on a coat." Fu Heihui said nonchalantly, "If you are afraid, you can cover your head, and you will feel more at ease."

The short-haired girl Lily Chuanhua didn't frowned and said anything.

"Yes, Thanks!"

Yoshitani Miko, who tried hard to lose her vision, immediately grabbed the coat on her head, and looked at the strange green-eyed boy with tears in front of her.

It came so timely... I almost couldn't pretend.

The other party helped her look away reasonably, and even helped her hide reasonably.

...is a benefactor!

Grateful in her heart, Jianzi covered her head tightly with her coat, and didn't even care about questioning the behavior of a strange boy.

Covered by a dark and strong coat, Miko slowly calmed down in the darkness like a cat.There was a very light detergent scent on the coat, and some body temperature from the other party, which was inexplicably reassuring.

really.

Fu Heihui's eyes widened unexpectedly.

This child can see the curse spirit.

What an astonishing acting skill, he and the knotweed followed all the way, but found nothing unusual, until the girl hid under the coat to block the sight of the curse spirit, the girl showed fear and fear.

And that short-haired girl... Upon closer inspection, there was indeed a strange aura about the other party.

"Who are you? Are you Jianzi's friend?" The short-haired girl looked at her close friend who covered her head with the boy's coat in front of her, and then at Fu Heihui in front of her. Under the behavior of her friend, she took the lead in showing a friendly attitude: "I am Lily Chuanhua, thank you for your coat."

"I'm Fu Heihui."

Hui said, looking calm on the surface, but he was already ready to defend and attack at any time in his heart.After all, it is quite a challenge for a magician to approach a dangerous quasi-level one magic spirit as if nothing had happened.

It is the right choice not to look up, because once the curse spirit realizes that a human being can see him, the other party will often launch an attack.Therefore, many conjurers among them will choose to wear items that block their vision when they go out, such as Jianren Nanami's goggles.This helps to reduce the probability of being cursed on the street.

Jianzi unconsciously made a life-saving choice.

Although I don't know why this quasi-first-level curse spirit is not very aggressive... Maybe it has something to do with these two special female high school students, but now is not the time to pursue the reason.

The point is to find an opportunity to get rid of the curse and protect the two girls.

"...It's the person Jianzi invited to help."

Fu Heihui thought about it, he squatted down, and said this to Yotsuya Miko who was sitting aside and hid himself under his coat.

Yotsuya Miko slightly lifted his coat, opened his reddish eyes blankly, and looked at the young man with a pair of clear and sincere green eyes, who was beautiful enough to be called a beauty in his heart.

Who do I call in to help?

"Did you..." Mistaken person?

"The name Jianzi has a subtle meaning." Fu Heihui lowered his slender eyelashes, lowered his voice, and said in a soothing tone: "If you don't want to read it, just don't read it, you have worked hard ... [that] will be left to us to deal with."

Yotsuya Miko slowly opened his eyes wide.

These are words that Baihe Chuanhua can't understand, neither can others, and only a few people in the know can understand.

Seeing Zizi's heart beating fast, she clutched the corner of the jacket tightly, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

"……is it okay?"

"OK."

Fu Heihui nodded calmly.

"Because it's our job."

Huiruo stood up nonchalantly, looked at the murder over there, and slowly added:

"But don't piss it off now, there are too many people."

"It's okay, my companion and I are here."

"Please trust me."

He was obviously just a boy who looked about his own age.

Yotsuya Miko raised her head and looked at each other.

But, but... Such a firm attitude and adult-like stability quietly erased the anxiety in his heart.People who are pushed to the extreme will seize on as long as there is a glimmer of hope. Jianzi's current state is similar to that of a drowning person.

A similar person who can also see and even promise to help him is a life-saving straw in Jianzi's eyes.

There was a gleam of hope in Mikoto's eyes.

... Can I be free from such fear?

the other side.

Kazuya Qiu Shan's words did not gain the trust of the police. If there were no accidents, he would indeed be arrested as a prisoner.

But there was a real detective at the scene.

Edogawa Conan quickly collected the information on the scene, and the truth of the case slowly formed in his mind like a puzzle. He pushed his glasses and raised the corners of his mouth.I think I understand most of the incident, but now there is only one thing I can't figure out...

That high school girl named Yotsuya Miko definitely smashed the glass pot on the table of the deceased on purpose.

The purpose is to stop Qiushan Kazuya's poisoned wine.It just didn't occur to her that there was another person who wanted to kill the deceased.

Then the problem is coming.

It is true that Qiu Shankazu did not know Yotsuya Miko, they should be just passers-by, how did that girl know that Qiu Shankazu also wanted to poison and kill?

Only this point, Edogawa Conan couldn't figure it out.

After collecting the clues, he subconsciously looked at the two female high school students resting aside, but was caught off guard by a familiar face.

"what……!"

Conan's eyes widened, and he pointed at Fu Heihui.

Why is this guy here!

This case must not have anything to do with the curse! ?

Running over almost without thinking, Conan grabbed Fu Heihui's pants.

"Brother Fuhei!"

Fu Heihui was startled, he looked down at the child in front of him, and was taken aback for a moment, a figure appeared in his mind, "Are you... Edogawa Conan?"

Hui squatted down, "Long time no see, Karuizawa, thank you very much for your help."

Edogawa Conan waved his hands, and said with a haha, "I was just helping out with that incident, so why is Brother Fuhei here? Could it be that there is also—"

"..." Fu Heihui raised his hand and raised a finger between his lips.

He silently looked at the overly intelligent elementary school student in front of him with calm eyes.

can not say.

Conan realized this, and he quickly speculated that there was a monster nearby, and even had a vague answer to the suspicious behavior of Miko Yotsuya—maybe that girl also has magical abilities.

So he immediately tensed up.

After all, that's a curse, isn't it?

Although I haven't seen it for a while, that twisted and terrifying figure is still clearly imprinted in my mind.

"It's okay, I'm still here."

Fu Heihui raised his hand, and gently patted the head of the pupil in front of him.

In Kei's view, no matter how smart he is, Conan in front of him is still a child.

Conan recalled Fu Heihui's cruelty, and felt a little relieved.

"Then this incident..."

"It's not directly related to those things." There may be a possibility of low-level curses inciting emotions, but in the end it is the murderer's own killing intent.Without the inherent killing intent and motivation, low-level curses can't instigate it.

Conan was relieved when he got a reply from a professional.

And on the other side, because of the behavior of Qiu Shanhe who was carrying the poison, he dropped his words and pleaded guilty passively, that guy was about to be arrested as a prisoner.

Conan yelled badly, and hurriedly bid farewell to Fu Heihui. Then, as always, he knocked down Mori Kogoro with the anesthesia needle in his watch. He adjusted the voice changer of the bow tie, and then hid in an inconspicuous corner, pretending to be Mori Kogoro is talking.

He revealed the truth of the case to the world.

The direct murderer in this case was not Kazuya Qiushan who was carrying poison and also had the intention of poisoning.

It was another member named Maruyama Jun.
