People live from five to nine in Conan

"Well, it doesn't matter." Mu Yuan nodded.

"Okay, me and Xiaolan, and Conan and... eh? Where's Conan?" Suzuki Sonoko, who was about to gather his teammates to make a big show, was taken aback, and looked around the room, but he didn't find Conan.

Mao Lilan quickly noticed this too, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Only Hui Yuanai rolled his eyes and said coldly, "I think he probably went to peek at the personal information of the person in front of him and Mu Yuan."

"What!?" Sonoko Suzuki akimbo, dissatisfied, "This annoying little brat, he ran out to play by himself when he was needed?"

"Yuanzi..." Mao Lilan smiled embarrassingly, looking at Mu Yuan and Hui Yuanai with a hint of apology.

She knew that Mu Yuan's personal information inside the police was definitely a temptation that Conan could not refuse.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if there's that brat anyway!" Suzuki Sonoko wiped his nose, stared at Toshihiko Takasugi, and asked loudly, "Say! Why did you kill Matsumoto-sensei!?"

"Ah? Sonoko... I don't understand what you're talking about, how could I..." As the heir of the consortium, Takasugi Toshihiko still met Suzuki Sonoko.

"Mr. Takasugi, since the person you hate is Sheriff Matsumoto, why don't you just attack him?"

But before Takasugi Toshihiko finished his quibble, Mu Yuan's calm tone rang out in the room.

"What!?" Several people showed surprised looks, and Suzuki Sonoko said bluntly, "The reason why he poisoned Mr. Matsumoto was to avenge Chief Matsumoto?"

"Don't, don't be joking..." The smile on Takasugi Toshihiko's face obviously froze a bit, and his gaze towards Mu Yuan also a little bit dodged, "I have hardly met Sergeant Matsumoto a few times, how could it be possible ..."

"Oh? Is it because of a previous meeting?" Mu Yuan interrupted again, "When did we meet? One year ago, two years ago... 20 years ago, 20 years ago?"

Faced with Mu Yuan's nagging words to himself, although Takasugi Toshihiko felt that something was wrong, he didn't feel too flustered, but when Mu Yuan accurately stated the time when his mother was killed...

"you you you you……"

Takasugi Toshihiko's eyes widened suddenly.

"20 years ago, what happened when you met Sheriff Matsumoto?"

Mu Yuan ignored his reaction, but continued on his own:

"What did he do to hurt you... It seems that it's not you..."

"So who hurt someone around you? It seems to be... Is it your friend? Relative? Is it your father? Mother? Is it your mother..."

"You, how is it possible, no, what nonsense are you talking about!?" Takasugi Toshihiko pointed at Muyuan with trembling fingers, the sweat on his forehead had gathered into sweat drops.

Even Suzuki Sonoko could see through his clumsy sophistry.

"Sheriff Matsumoto, did you really kill your mother?"

Mu Yuan's tone was as calm as ever, but Takasugi Toshihiko's eyes showed obvious panic.

Obviously, this question hits the nail on the head for him.

"In other words, Sergeant Matsumoto didn't actually kill your mother, so who is it..."

"It's him! If it wasn't for that bastard Matsumoto Kiyonaga, my mother would have survived!!! At that time, as long as he was, as long as he..."

...

Amidst Takasugi Toshihiko's excited roar, the expressions of Mao Lilan and others were completely calm.

They saw the truest appearance of a coward in the well-dressed groom before them.

Chapter 232 Toshihiko Takasugi's "Death"

In the hall of the wedding scene, Conan carefully peeked at the information in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's hands, and Conan turned off the magnification function on the glasses with some disappointment.

"One adoptive parent died unexpectedly, and the other mysteriously disappeared. In order to help members cover up their identities, that organization really did everything they could!"

Conan jumped down from the two stacked stools, complaining angrily.

He understood that unless Mu Yuan's mysteriously missing second adoptive parents could be found, it would be impossible to explore the connection between Mu Yuan and the Black Organization.

But can those two people really be found?

I'm afraid it will be possible to drain the seawater in Tokyo Bay.

"Sure enough, the organization has already blocked all the loopholes in Mu Yuan's background."

Conan shook his head and quickly calmed down.

"Forget it, I didn't expect to find anything anyway..."

Having already made up his mind to organize a fight to the end, he has gradually gotten used to the feeling of getting nothing, and then turned his attention back to the case in front of him.

"Sheriff Matsumoto seemed a little excited when he saw Takasugi Toshihiko's original name just now?"

After listening to Mu Yuan's identification in advance, although Conan has not completely regarded Takasugi Toshihiko as the murderer, he has already shifted most of his attention to him.

The change in Matsumoto's expression when he saw Toshihiko Takasugi's original name naturally aroused Conan's special attention.

Recalling Takasugi Toshihiko's age when he was adopted by Takasugi's family as shown in the information, Conan immediately leaned over and asked:

"Hey, Uncle Matsumoto, did you know brother Toshihiko a long time ago?"

Hearing this, Matsumoto Kiyonaga's face changed, and he opened his mouth hesitantly.

Seeing this, Conan immediately affirmed his judgment.

Something must have happened between Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Takasugi Toshihiko, just before Takasugi Toshihiko was adopted by Takasugi's family.

"Could it be that elder brother Toshihiko wanted to kill sister Matsu... Sayuri because of what happened at that time?" Conan asked cutely in a child's tone as if he was still acting cute.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga trembled when he heard the words, and his usually fierce eyes flickered faintly, "No, no...why didn't he come to me directly?"

Hearing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's intermittent murmurs, Conan had a sullen face and completely locked on the identity of Takasugi Toshihiko as the murderer, but just when he wanted to ask further details about what happened that year, Megushisan walked away with a worried expression on his face coming.

"Senior, are you okay?" Mu Mushisan comforted the ugly boss, then turned to look at Conan with a frown, "Conan, why are you alone in this kind of place, children can't be here If you run around in such a place, come, I'll let someone take you to find Xiaolan."

"No, no need, Officer Mumu, Sister Xiaolan... Brother Mu Yuan asked me to come out and ask Captain Matsumoto a few questions!"

"Oh? Is that so..." Mumu Shisan was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

"I..." Kiyomaga Matsumoto hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'll talk about that matter myself."

The death of Takasugi Toshihiko's biological mother was an unforgettable regret in Matsumoto Kiyonaga's heart. If it must be said, it should not be conveyed through the mouth of a child.

But that's not what Conan wants to see.

"Ah, Sheriff Matsumoto, you can't go there yet!"

Conan hurried forward and grabbed Matsumoto Kiyoshi's trouser legs. On the one hand, he was worried that his lies would be exposed, which would attract Mao Lilan's educational fist, and on the other hand...

He wants to prove that real detectives don't rely on opportunistic tricks!

"Mu, Brother Mu Yuan said that when he can go in, he will come to inform the police chief, you and Officer Megure!" Facing Matsumoto Kiyonaga's puzzled gaze, Conan explained with a smile.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga frowned, and looked at Conan suspiciously, but when he saw the appearance of the elementary school student on the other side, he could only shake his head, "Okay, then we will wait here."

"Aha, haha... oops! My stomach hurts, I'm going to the toilet..."

...

After Conan left with an excuse, he came to the corridor outside the lounge again, and while rummaging through the nearby trash cans, he murmured:

"The identity of the murderer has been determined, and the general motive has been understood, so that thing must be here..."

"Conan?"

Mao Lilan's voice suddenly came from behind, making Conan shrink his neck suddenly.

"Xiao, sister Xiaolan, listen to my explanation, I..."

"Sorry, I'm busy right now, let's talk about it later."

Mao Lilan's unexpected answer directly made Conan hold back all the explanations he had finally thought up.

Conan was in a daze for a while, until Mao Lilan ran away, Conan came back to his senses, and asked in surprise, "Eh!?"

Just when Conan was curious about what was important about Mao Lilan, and he didn't even have time to teach him a lesson, Mao Lilan had already run to Sayuri Matsumoto's best friend.

"Miss Takenaka Kazumi, I'm sorry, may I bother you..."

...

Conan held a transparent glass bottle containing a desiccant, looked at Kazumi Takenaka who followed Mao Lilan back to the bridal lounge, frowned slightly, and then ran to Takagi She who was standing aside stupidly.

"Officer Takagi, do you have the videotape that Sister Xiaolan just shot? Brother Muyuan asked me to confirm..."

...

...

"Don't you understand Sayuri's favorite lemon tea?"

"You are the first love that she has missed for 20 years!"

In the bridal lounge, Kazumi Takenaka, whose heart changed dramatically after seeing Sayuri Matsumoto fall down, was invited in by Mu Yuan.

It was only Mao Lilan who gave some explanations, without even having to ask Mu Yuan, she dragged out the whole story.

It turned out that Toshihiko Takasugi was Sayuri Matsumoto's first love for 20 years.

But the purpose of Takasugi Toshihiko approaching Sayuri Matsumoto is to avenge his mother who died innocently and tragically in a police hunt 20 years ago.

Because the police officer who was in charge of chasing the criminal at that time was Matsumoto Sayuri's father, Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

But what Takasugi Toshihiko didn't know was that Sayuri Matsumoto, whom he identified as a gold digger who was greedy for Takasugi's family property, actually commissioned his best friend to investigate as early as the first time he met him.

The reason why Matsumoto Sayuri agreed to Takasugi Toshihiko's pursuit was precisely because she knew his true identity!

Not only that, but even the accident 20 years ago, she already knew everything about it.

Sayuri Matsumoto has always understood the hatred in Takasugi Toshihiko's heart, and it is precisely because she does not know how to calm down that hatred that she resolutely drank the can of life-threatening potion when she saw her lover poisoning her. lemon tea……

...

"No! Impossible! You're lying to me! How could someone still drink the tea knowing that it's poisonous!?"

When Mu Yuandao broke his secrets one after another, Takasugi Toshihiko, who was under great psychological pressure, did not immediately believe Takenaka Kazumi's words, but resisted because the other party's words were beneficial to help Mu Yuan interrogate himself.

"It's the story this monk taught you, right? It must be, it must be..."

"Have you ever drank sodium hydroxide?"

Haibara Ai's voice was cold and steady, with the unique crispness of a child. Compared with Takasugi Toshihiko's impetuous and trembling roar, it made the room quiet like ice falling from the sky.

"What, what?" Takasugi Toshihiko looked over belatedly.

Huihara Ai looked at Takasugi Toshihiko coldly, and said calmly, "Based on your meager knowledge, you probably only know that sodium hydroxide is a highly toxic substance, right?"

"I think you don't understand at all how much endurance it takes for a normal, conscious person to drink a sodium hydroxide solution that can make you faint from pain?"

"Okay, your expression has proved your ignorance, so...to make it easier for you to understand, you can think of it this way, the feeling of drinking sodium hydroxide solution is probably the same as drinking a can of sulfuric acid, and Or keep swallowing red-hot iron, or something like that.”

"...How, how is it possible!?" Takasugi Toshihiko suddenly widened his eyes.

Hui Yuanai shrugged, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"I……"

Facing the hostile gazes of the four girls in the room, Takasugi Toshihiko took a step back in cold sweat.

Fortunately, he was adopted by Takasugi's family, and he has been raised as an heir. He really didn't spend too much time on the study of "useless knowledge".

But if what the little girl in front of me said is true... Could it be that Sayuri Matsumoto really...

"Mr. Gao Sugi, you just said that the person you want to take revenge on is Sheriff Matsumoto?"

Just when Takasugi Toshihiko's psychological defense was about to break through himself, Mu Yuan suddenly spoke, interrupting the opponent's self-destruction.

The flames of hatred rose again, and Toshihiko Takasugi's eyes immediately focused, "That's right! He was the one who killed my innocent mother!"

"Oh?" Mu Yuan asked suspiciously, "So, it was Sergeant Matsumoto who drove over your mother to death?"

"This..." Takasugi Toshihiko hesitated, "Damn, my mother was still breathing at that time, as long as she could be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, she would definitely be able to..."

"In other words, it was not Sheriff Matsumoto who killed your mother, but the serial murderer, right?"

"He...his car didn't break down at all, he could have sent my mother to the hospital..."

"You mean, Sergeant Matsumoto, as a policeman who is chasing the criminal, should let the serial murderer escape and go to save your mother first, otherwise, he is the murderer who killed your mother?"

"I...my mother is innocent! If it wasn't because of his pursuit, how could that person miss..."

"So, the murderer killed your mother by mistake, and the police chief Matsumoto didn't save your mother as the murderer?"

"you!"
