Henggou Shigego took a breath and suddenly realized that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Around him, the deceased's tablemates, hotel guests, hotel clerks, and other police officers all stared blankly at Henggou Shigego.
So fierce...
Henggou realized again: "..."
His usually calm and wise image collapsed.
Also, will he be considered harsh and unreasonable? What should we do now? Do you want an explanation? But wouldn’t the explanation be embarrassing and seem capricious?
Conan saw Henggou Zhongwu's face change suddenly, sometimes cloudy and sometimes clear, silent, and lowered his head to think.
He suspected that Chi Feichi did it on purpose just to retaliate against Officer Henggou Shigego who had previously complained about being a "veteran who doesn't do his job properly" and a "god of plague."
That guy was indeed a petty person. Fortunately, he always complained silently in his heart. Teacher Judy and Officer Yokomori Jugo who dared to complain directly seemed to be very angry.
But it's understandable. Chi Feichi seems to be more tolerant of people he knows well, and will complain if he's not familiar with them. No wonder Chi Feichi will fight back.
No matter, he still solved the case quickly, otherwise he would be late to catch up with Chi Fei.
There are many toxins on wet towels, but they are not carried away by the rotating turntable...
Um? Wait, spin the dial?
He remembered that someone was spinning the turntable crazily, just like playing. Could it be that...
…
Chi Feichi left for a while, then returned and called the forensics team to the bathroom. He looked up and saw Conan leaning against the wall, waiting for him, and walked out.
Seeing Chi Fei Chi come out, Conan looked up at Chi Fei Chi, "I also know who the murderer is and the methods used by the murderer!"
Chi Feichi stopped at the door of the bathroom and looked at Conan.
I don't know which 'murderer' Conan found, I guess...
Conan touched his chin, "He first went to the bathroom and poured cyanide on his wet towel. After returning to his seat, he used the wet towel to apply the poison under the turntable, so that Mr. Kawabata would leave the toxin on his fingers when he turned the turntable. , when eating roast duck, Mr. Kawabata ingested toxins and died. However, there was cyanide on his wet towel and he could not keep it with him. So, he probably took the opportunity to step forward when Uncle Mori was checking Mr. Kawabata's vital signs. Swap his towel with Mr. Kawabata's non-toxic towel. Although Uncle Maori asked you to watch and don't let anyone touch the things on the table, by that time he had already finished swapping..."
Chi Feichi nodded.
Yes, Iso Kaizo did switch the towels and had to switch them.
Otherwise, when the police arrived, a large amount of cyanide was found on the wet towel of Iso Kaizo, and Iso Kaizo could not explain it either.
"Soup was spilled on Mr. Kawabata's jeans before. When you wiped them with a wet towel, the jeans would lose some color," Conan continued to reason in a low voice, "but the wet towel next to Mr. Kawabata's seat only had soup stains on it and was not wiped off." The blue color left behind by wearing jeans, and the wet towel in Mr. Isogami's hand will have soup stains and the color of the jeans will fade away. This is evidence that the wet towel with poison belongs to him and he changed the wet towel..."
Fei Chi still stayed with Conan, wrapping his arms around Conan's and listening to Conan's reasoning.
It did see Iso Kaizo secretly changing towels. It originally wanted to remind its owner, but the owner seemed to have also seen it and didn't say anything for some unknown reason. Maybe he wanted to investigate the modus operandi first?
"By the way, did you ask the forensic personnel to come to the bathroom to investigate whether the bottle he used to store poison was left in the bathroom?" Conan continued to think, "I think even if the bottle containing cyanide is found, since he You will think of using a wet towel to soak the poison to avoid the poison reaction being detected on your hands, and it is impossible to leave traces such as fingerprints.”
Chi Feichi reached out and brought Fei Chi over, "The forensics team found a small bottle containing cyanide in the trash can in the men's bathroom. In addition, a cyanide reaction was detected in the toilet drain in another compartment. There is also a little Other ingredients include glutinous rice paper that has not completely melted, and there is also cyanide in the glutinous rice paper..."
"Huh?" Conan was stunned.
Since Chi Feichi mentioned it late, it means that glutinous rice paper is very important.
Glutinous rice paper is an edible film that is transparent and tasteless. It is generally made by mixing starch, gelatin and a small amount of lecithin, casting it into a film, and drying it. It melts when exposed to water.
The appearance of something that should not be in his reasoning shows that there is a problem in a certain link of his reasoning.
etc? In water?
Toxins on the sides and bottom of the ashtray, glutinous rice paper...
"You asked before if the ashtray and cigarette butts reacted with poison," Conan looked at Chi Feichi hesitantly, "Do you suspect that someone else poisoned Mr. Kawabata? But..."
"Mr. Isogami did want to poison, and he did apply the poison under the turntable," Chi Feichi provided the most critical clue to Conan, "But I can confirm that Mr. Kawabata did not touch the turntable during the whole process, let alone touch it. Bottom of the turntable.”
Conan was stunned, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, "Did you spin the carousel on purpose before?"
"So," Chi Feichi made an excuse, "because Mr. Kawabata said he hated those two dishes, and Mr. Isogami kept turning those two dishes in front of him, so I turned the dishes away."
"It's very strange," Conan said suspiciously, "For such an unfamiliar person, do you care whether he enjoys his meal or not?"
Chi Feichi looked directly at Conan, "I can predict the future."
Conan's expression was subtle, and his expression was so serious that it sounded like he was telling the truth. He suspected that Chi Feichi was suffering from hysteria, and he was imagining that he had supernatural powers. After getting along for a long time, he thought that Chi Feichi was just a There is no problem with personality or mental problems. Now it seems that there is still a problem, "I said you... well, it's nothing, uh... then if Mr. Isogami's plan does not succeed, get rid of what he has done." matter, then there was another poisoner, and it was another person who caused Mr. Kawabata’s death. Now the poison reaction test in the restaurant has been completed, except for the tableware, ashtrays, wet towels, and Mr. Kawabata’s Apart from the hands, there are no toxic reactions elsewhere. From this point of view, the other person's modus operandi should be to apply cyanide or sprinkle cyanide powder on the bottom of the ashtray, then carefully paste the glutinous rice paper on it, and then cover it with cyanide. If the edge sticks, bring it to Mr. Kawabata when arranging the tableware. Because the glutinous rice paper is very thin, as long as it is smoothed when pasted on the bottom of the ashtray and does not let the edge exceed the edge of the ashtray, most people can hold it even with their hands. You may not be able to notice it, let alone see it. After that, as long as..."
Conan suddenly stopped and his face turned ugly.
"As long as soup or tea is spilled on the table before eating Peking duck, the glutinous rice paper under the ashtray will slowly melt. When Mr. Kawabata sees soup or tea spilled in front of him, he will also pick up the ashtray, Use a wet towel to clean it," Chi Feichi said, "Because there are cigarette butts and ashes in the ashtray, in order not to dirty their fingers, most people will choose to take the ashtray from the side and drag their fingers on the bottom of the ashtray to help, instead of Put your fingers inside the ashtray, and wipe your fingers after taking the ashtray. In this way, no matter which hand Mr. Kawabata uses to hold the ashtray, the toxins will be stained on the wet towel, and when he wipes his hands afterwards, the toxins will be stained. To the other hand..."
"It's just that there was an accident during the meal..."
"The prisoner didn't have time to take action, but Mr. Kawabata hit Xiaolan's elbow and accidentally spilled the soup bowl." Conan's voice was low and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Although it is said that even if Mao Lilan hadn't done this, the murderer would probably have spilled something himself, and there was no need to blame himself. But with Mao Lilan's character, once he knew these things, he would definitely feel that he was an accessory to murder.
Yes, just like that time I went to America and saw Sirloin.
At the beginning of the stage play backstage, the ropes hanging the armor were old and the heavy armor fell down when they passed by. The actress named Rose's clothes got caught on the nails, which was Mao Lilan's most critical moment. Go up and save Rose before she is hit by the armor.
As a result, Rose later killed actor Sith while performing in a stage play.
He asked his mother to reason and made Rose admit to her murder.
When Rose was taken away by the police, she turned back and said something to Mao Lilan:
"No matter what, God still favored me. When the armor fell off, my costume happened to be caught on a nail. Fortunately, she helped me and I was able to escape..."
"Thank you, lovely angel. It is because of your help that my wish came true..."
That day, the ugliness of the actors with their own hidden agendas, Rose's laughter when she left, and Mao Lilan's dazed look standing there, all of that was still fresh in his memory.
Mao Lilan also had a cold and fever at that time. Because this was really not a pleasant memory, after she woke up, she selectively forgot about that trip to the United States.
However, Mao Lilan said that she had seen Sharon before...except for that time, Mao Lilan had never seen Sharon before, right? Has she already remembered something?
"Huh?" Conan frowned and thought, and suddenly felt a coldness on his forehead. He looked up and saw a slightly cold hand placed on his forehead.
"Your expression is very strange," Chi Fei belatedly saw Conan come back to his senses and retracted his hand, "It's not ordinary strange."
"Ah hahaha, it's nothing..." Conan smiled cutely for a while, then soon looked troubled again, "I'm worried that Sister Xiaolan will feel sad because of this inside story."
Let’s not talk about whether Mao Lilan remembered that incident. If the same thing happened again this time, Mao Lilan would need to be enlightened by a psychologist soon if he could remember what happened back then.
Chi Feichi acknowledged with a 'hmm'. Sentimental women are more likely to get into trouble. "You can figure out the reasoning later. I'll make an excuse and ask her to accompany me to get something from the car in the parking lot."
"Is it convenient for you to leave?" Conan asked.
With Chi Feichi following them, it is safer not to worry about Mao Lilan turning back due to some accident and accidentally overhearing. However, Chi Feichi's suspicion is not low now, and Officer Henggou Shigego, who is not familiar with them, may not necessarily Willing to leave the restaurant late.
"It's okay. I'll take Xiaolan away while they're not paying attention."
Chi Feichi also felt that Henggou Zhongwu would not let him go, but he would leave with Mao Lilan no matter what.
He suddenly thought of something:
Mao Lilan may not have a fever and faint after taking his cold medicine, and he may not remember the events in the United States that he should have remembered.
But if there is an inside story in this case, Mao Lilan will be almost stimulated, and he will most likely think of what happened after meeting Sharon that year, and knowing that Shuichi Akai is from the FBI.
It seems that everything is destined, and there is an invisible chain of rules that arranges and plans everything.
He had a hunch that if Mao Lilan was allowed to go to the parking lot alone, Mao Lilan would definitely turn back for some reason, and by stimulating the case in the United States, he would correct the change in trajectory brought about by providing cold medicine.
God seems determined to send Conan a clue - the man in the black woolen hat wandering near the Mori Detective Agency, Shuichi Akai, is an FBI ally.
He was also happy to see the Full Moon Night incident proceed in its original direction, and it was necessary for Conan to grasp some important clues, but he did not want to use this method to involve himself in the calculation.
To put it simply, he felt that he had been tricked by God again. He was unhappy and wanted to fight back...
