Wednesday, December 25th, Christmas, evening, Camphor Tree Cabaret.

Midako suddenly smelled bitter almonds and suspected that it was hydrogen cyanide, and then, Tatsuya Kimura said that his palms felt a little hot, and Yamazaki judged that it might be stained with highly toxic cyanide, so he asked him to rinse it immediately, and the others stood in place and waited.

Yamazaki said again: "By the way, Mr. Kimura, your hand touched the elbow of this dress on your body, it's winter, and you wear a lot of clothes, so you can cut off the sleeves." ”

Tatsuya Kimura nodded and said, "I see, thank you." Then I slowly opened and closed the door and went out, and after a while, the air conditioning and ventilation stopped, and then the sound of customers leaving was heard outside the door.

Yamazaki said, "Very well, it doesn't seem that Mr. Sumidi poisoned the air conditioner now." And until now, there is still no smell of bitter almonds, and everyone is not unwell, it seems that even if there is poison in this room, there is only a small amount of poison. I don't see anything unusual about everyone's coats, it seems that you don't have drugs on you, let's go out one by one, Conan, you go first, and let the boss add a seat in the hall for you. ”

Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Mari Terarahara, Emiko Shibasaki, and Katsumi Yamada went out one by one, and Yamazaki asked, "Still don't you feel the danger?"

"Not at all. Mei Daiko said.

"That's not much," Yamazaki said, "let's go." ”

Yamazaki walked behind Midaiko and slowly closed the door.

In the hall, Mr. Suwai asked, "Katsumi, what the hell is going on, is it really potassium cyanide?"

Katsumi Yamada said, "I don't know, I didn't find anything anyway. ”

"Mari?" asked Mr. Sumidi.

"I don't know," said Mari Terahara, "but Tatsuya's hand was indeed red by something, and it looked like it had been burned." ”

Yamazaki stepped forward and said, "I don't know exactly what the drug is, but I can only confirm that it can emit a gas that smells like bitter almonds, and the solution formed after moisture is corrosive." ”

Mr. Suwai asked, "Mari, who is this?"

"I forgot to mention that my name is Yamazaki, and I'm from Detective Mori Kogoro's office," Yamazaki laughed, "Half a detective." ”

"Sleeping Kogoro!" "Mari Terahara" The four of them were taken aback.

"Na, na, Sister Emiko," Conan asked, "Is your hand okay?"

"No," Shibazaki Emiko asked, "why do you ask?"

"Because you were the one who sang before Brother Tatsuya sang," Conan laughed, "and you should have touched something that Brother Tatsuya touched." ”

"Ahh......h

"Not me. Shibazaki Emiko hurriedly said, "Although I once confessed to Tatsuya, Tatsuya said that he already has someone he likes." ”

"What!" the garden was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know," said Emiko Shibasaki, "Tatsuya said at the time, 'I don't know where she's gone now, but I'm willing to wait for her, no matter when, forever, forever.'" ’”

"Ahh "How can this be?" cried out to the garden. ”

"Mr. Yamazaki," Mari Terrahara, asked, "do you think we're going to harm Tatsuya?"

"It's hard to say whether it's harmful or not, after all, I don't know what kind of drug it is. Yamazaki said, "However, this medicine will be damp, and the solution is corrosive, so it is impossible to touch and apply it with empty hands, and it will be seen by pouring it with a small bottle or applying it with a handkerchief, so it is not only after we enter the room." ”

"Sumii?" exclaimed Katsumi Yamada in surprise.

"It's not me," Mr. Suwai said hurriedly, "I'm not on good enough to kill Tatsuya, and how could I possibly smear a poison like cyanide in my shop, and I don't know how you guys will sit." ”

Yamazaki asked, "Mari-san, you are sitting closest to Mr. Kimura, have you noticed anything powdery on his clothes?"

"Nope. Mari Terahara said, then asked, "Is the medicine on the clothes?"

"Yes," said Yamazaki, "that's why the wind from the clothes smells of bitter almonds." ”

"The clothes were kept in the lounge all the time," Katsumi Yamada said, "and it must have been someone who was jealous of Tatsuya during the concert and secretly went to the lounge while we weren't there." ”

Conan asked, "Sister Mari, are you three often told by Brother Tatsuya?"

"This ......" Mari Terahara, who didn't know how to answer.

"Conan. Lan said, "I'm sorry, Miss Mari, but Conan is just a little more curious, and not malicious. ”

Shibasaki Emiko said: "That's true, every time something happens, Tatsuya will talk about us, but I think Tatsuya is right, my level of self-denial is indeed a little worse." However, it's very strange for him to target Manager Mari, I don't know why, sometimes he deliberately provokes Manager Mari for no reason. ”

"Mari, has Tatsuya become like this?" asked Mr. Sumidi.

"......" Mari Terahara opened his mouth and did not speak.

"Already," Conan asked, "weren't they like this before?"

"In the past, it was really nostalgic. Mr. Suwai said, "I used to be in a band with Tatsuya and Mari, but now I'm still working hard for my dream and working hard in the music industry. By the way, let me tell you, Tatsuya actually wanted to be with you back then, so he came to the band. ”

"What!" Mari Terahara, the others were taken aback.

At this time, the police came, and it was the Twilight Police Department who led the team. As soon as he saw Yamazaki, he asked, "Yamazaki, what's going on here, why do you say cyanide leaks?"

"There was a smell of bitter almonds in the private room, and Mr. Tatsuya Kimura's palms seemed to have been burned by corrosive things, and he was now flushing his hands in the bathroom, so I thought it was cyanide, which deliquescent in the air, and a small amount of strong alkaline solution was formed. Yamazaki said. "But then I didn't smell it again, it was probably only a very small amount. ”

"Whew. The Twilight Police Department breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called the people from the Disaster Countermeasures Division not to come, and asked them to inform the fire department that they were no longer available.

At this time, an ambulance came, and after the ambulance doctor looked at Tatsuya Kimura's wound, he confirmed that it was contaminated with highly toxic substances such as cyanide, and took Tatsuya Kimura, who was already feeling unwell, back to the hospital for treatment.

After learning what had happened, the Twilight Police Department immediately sent several forensic officers into the room to inspect it, and told the forensic officers wearing gas masks to be careful.

Ten minutes later, a red catering truck stopped outside the camphor tree song hall, and then several people in white chef uniforms came down, and then a person in a chef's uniform came to the cordon and negotiated with the police standing guard.

"Ah, it's time for my dinner," Mei Daiko said with a smile, "Brother, Ran, Yuanzi, everyone, come together." ”

"Well," said the garden, "I really don't have an appetite at this time. ”

"Me too. Lan said.

Conan, Mari Terrahara, Emiko Shibasaki and Katsumi Yamada also refused.

Seeing that the door of the private room opened, the forensic personnel who had already removed their gas masks came out, and Yamazaki smiled: "You go first, I'll go later." ”……
