Although Officer Megure still believed that Conan was destroying the scene, he had to admit that Conan was right.
He glanced at Yu Jiang who was doing nothing and realized that not all passers-by could assist the police in handling cases like detectives. It was better to believe in others than in the police themselves.
Officer Megure sighed: "Then, who was it that made the deceased eat rice balls and handed them to him?"
"Ah, yes, I gave it to him." Katsuki Yamada panicked, "Are you doubting me?"
"We must take all factors into consideration during the investigation phase, not just suspicion." Officer Megure explained.
"But I didn't insist on letting him eat it. He asked me to bring him rice balls..."
"Anyway, there is a possibility that you may have been poisoned." Officer Megure insisted.
Seeing this, Conan knew that it was impossible to rely on the police to solve the case.
There must be something he missed!
correct!
lighter!
Conan recalled that Kimura Tatsuya once looked for his lighter. He quickly searched the box carefully, but found nothing.
Um?
Could it be?
"Okay, Conan, our police will protect the scene of the crime." Officer Megure stopped Conan's arrogant behavior, "Now all of you, please follow me back to the Metropolitan Police Department to take notes."
Strictly speaking, Yujiang was now one of the suspects, so he had no choice but to go to the Metropolitan Police Department with the others.
Gee, this seems to be the second time in a short period of time, right?
Yujiang didn't know what was going on, but he seemed to be visiting the Metropolitan Police Department frequently now.
Obviously, he has only been to the Metropolitan Police once in the past many years, and it was to investigate the car accident.
"The results of the forensic test are out." Officer Megure said with a heavy face. "Potassium cyanide reaction was detected in the stomach of the deceased Kimura Tatsuya, which is the most fatal cause. In addition, his right hand and the clothes corresponding to his right hand were Toxins were also detected on the tableware, but no toxins were detected on the tableware he used."
"The murderer probably took the opportunity to poison Tatsuya while he was singing on stage and eating rice balls when he came off stage."
"Excluding the agent who left the box to make a phone call, the store manager who was in the kitchen, and Xiaolan who had no motive for murder, the only suspects left were two members of the same band!"
"Also, we detected toxins on the microphones."
Everyone was shocked: "Microphone?!"
Then, based on the microphone detection of toxins, Officer Megure locked the suspect on Mieko Shibazaki, who sang on stage before Tatsuya Kimura.
Immediately afterwards, the police found facial cream containing potassium cyanide from Kimura Tatsuya's car.
At this time, Officer Megure even thought that Kimura Tatsuya committed suicide!
Seeing this, Yu Jiang couldn't help but cover his forehead.
The Japanese police are too useless.
He could hardly stand it anymore.
Most people accepted the fact that Kimura Tatsuya committed suicide because they did not want to be suspected of being a murderer. Suicide would keep the status quo unchanged.
Under such circumstances, Kimura Tatsuya's friends and partners all turned into cowards.
Only Conan still works hard for the truth.
At this time, perhaps only Kudo Shinichi's identity can convince Detective Megure and the others!
"Hey, where did Conan go?" Mao Lilan just turned around and Conan disappeared.
"By the way, the kid just said he was a little tired and wanted to go home and rest first." A policeman said to Mao Lilan.
"What, he went back by himself??"
At this moment, Officer Megure jumped up: "What did you say? Did he really say that?"
"Very good!!"
Officer Megure suddenly saw hope again: "Quick! Go to the karaoke bar immediately!!"
Mao Lilan was confused: "Excuse me, Officer Memu, what happened?"
Officer Megure couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "It's him, high school detective Kudo Shinichi. He said he already knows who the murderer is! He told us to go to the crime scene immediately!"
"S-Shinichi??"
…
Listening to Kudo Shinichi's voice coming from the loudspeaker, Yujiang did not listen to his reasoning attentively like the others, but walked to the side and guessed where Conan was hiding now.
Ikujiang didn't find it strange that he could use Kudo Shinichi's voice to reason.
The Dr. Ali who picked up Conan at the beginning seems to be a scientist. It is too simple to invent a tool that can change the voice.
"Ms. Mari Terahara, please change Tatsuya Kimura's coat in advance, let him wear the coat you coated with potassium cyanide in advance, and order him that classic song." Kudo Shinichi's voice slowly came out. , "Because you know, when he sang that song, he would do his signature thing of ripping off his jacket, so that he would have potassium cyanide on his fingers."
Terahara Mari was silent.
The plan she thought was perfect turned out to be so vulnerable to this faceless high school detective.
"Miss Terahara, can we check your coat?"
"I touched Kimura after he died. Even if the coat is contaminated with toxin, what does it mean?!" Terahara Mari argued angrily.
"No, I asked the police to search your coat because it contains evidence that you changed your coat."
Officer Megure found a lighter in Terahara Mari's coat pocket-it was the missing lighter of Tatsuya Kimura.
At this point, everything is revealed.
"But...Mari Terahara had no motive for killing Tatsuya Kimura?"
"She has." Kudo Shinichi said word by word, "The motive for the murder is in the photo on the table over there."
Conan was right under Yu Jiang's nose, but Yu Jiang didn't know when he had collected so much evidence.
Is this a detective?
It's really scary.
The evidence provided by Conan is actually a photo. In the photo, Mari Terahara looks bright and beautiful, which is completely different from her current style.
Seeing the photo, Terahara Mari's psychological defense finally collapsed, and she painfully told the truth: "Yes, I went for plastic surgery just for Tatsuya!!"
"What?!"
"I have liked Tatsuya very much since I was in the band, so when the record company wanted to sign a contract with him and he said to me, 'You can also come and be my manager,' I was really happy."
Mari Terahara whispered, "I want to say that maybe Tatsuya also likes me, so I made up my mind to have plastic surgery, just to become a person who matches him!"
"But I didn't expect Tatsuya to be so angry when he saw me after plastic surgery. He often called me ugly, and often forced me to sing "She Thinks She's Beautiful" to mock me. So he must be trying to fool me. That’s why he asked me to be his agent!”
"I love him so much and trust him so much, but he actually...so absolutely, absolutely cannot forgive!!"
