Chapter Twenty-Five: Sugar Ball and Abe
"Even though that one is no longer there, I didn't expect to see you at the scene of the crime. Shan County Gongwang sighed, this case appeared as always, the Maori family...... It seems that there is more to it.
Mizuma MoonγThe forehead is not right.,Keisuke Chiju took a look.,In addition to the Maori family of three.,In addition to the Osaka Prefecture Police Headquarters's son-in-law Hattori Heiji.,There is also a girl and a boy I don't know.,It's all high school students.γ
"That being said, this time it's a little different. Uncle Maori was a little embarrassed and said, "We just came to care about our companion because we had an incident, and we didn't experience it this time, so we don't have any clues to give." β
"Oh, goodbye. "Gongwang of Shan County is not very good at buying Uncle Maori's account, since Uncle Maori has already said that he and others are not experiencers, he immediately left Uncle Alone.
"So, who was the first person to find a body?"
"It's me, officer, despicable Kamal. A tall, muscular man stepped out.
Keisuke Chiju was a little surprised when he saw Kamal, but he quickly covered it up, and even Oto Prefecture, who had been standing by his side logically, didn't notice it.
"Can you briefly describe your experience?" asked Shan Gongwang.
During this time, the police, forensic doctors, and forensic personnel had already performed their duties and were busy at the scene of the crime, and only a small group of isolated people stood at the scene and stood there very abruptly with nothing to do.
Qingsuke Qianshou in the small group was not affected at all, standing at the scene of the crime with his arms crossed, watching others busy with work as if the leader was inspecting.
Although it is said that the scene of the crime is a bathroom in a hotel, this makes the momentum a little embarrassing.
Shan County Gongwang and a strong man named Kamel stood at the door of the bathroom and spoke.
"No problem, when I was going to the bathroom, I heard a voice coming from that direction, to the effect of: 'Even if it's a partner who grew up together, I can't say yes to this request. Abu was poisoned by me, so I must be responsible. Then I heard the screams again, so I hurried out to check on him, and saw the man two separate from me, and it was already like this. β
"And then you immediately stopped all the guests from leaving the restaurant and cordoned off the scene, aren't you? are you really skilled, detectives or mystery enthusiasts?" asked Yama Gongwang.
"No...... I, me. Kamel hesitated, refusing to reveal his identity. So it's no wonder, after all......
"Huh, Inspector Kamal?" said Xiao Lan in the crowd when she saw Kamel and quickly shouted.
"Investigator?" Shan Shan Gongwang was a little surprised, and there was some vigilance, the name of the investigator should be related to police work, but this person who refused to identify himself and was still stumbling just now was very suspicious.
"Eh, is this vicious-looking guy an acquaintance of yours?" Hattori Heiji still hadn't learned what it meant to be moral, so he asked Xiaolan straightforwardly.
"Well......" Xiaolan was also a little embarrassed, seeing that Kazuye was also looking at herself with a puzzled look, she had to explain: "Mr. Kamel is ......" Xiaolan said halfway, and suddenly found that Kamel was looking at him wildly, and the expression of the police officer surnamed Shan County became very solemn, and he couldn't go on for a while.
Conan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Carmel is an FBI investigator, and he is now on vacation to travel to Japan, and we have met by coincidence. β
Shan County Gongwang raised his eyebrows, signaling that he understood.
Glancing back at the scene being investigated, Shan Shan Gongwang asked casually: "So what does Mr. Kamel think about this case?"
Shan County Gongwang didn't think much about it, he just wanted to see if the legendary FBI was really as powerful as the legend.
As a result, Kamel obviously hadn't heard of the fact that the Tokyo police now hated being pointed at by the police, and really began to analyze: "The deceased is talking to someone here, and judging from this person's words, he once poisoned a person named Abu, maybe now this matter is about to be discovered by the police, so the other party killed him...... However, I didn't hear the other person's voice, and I noticed that he was coming to eat alone, so I guess it was a suicide. β
"......" Gongwang of Shanxian County was a little stunned.
"What's wrong?" said Kamel, still looking at the county prince in confusion.
"It's okay, can you be sure you're hearing the voice of the dead and not the murderer?"
"Of course, the guy was sitting in front of me when he was eating, and the order was loud, so I remember it very well. "Don't look at Carmel's stout like a vodka, in fact, he is still more detailed.
Do you think back to any of the details?, and do you have any words that you heard but didn't understand?"
Keisuke Chiju loses interest in Kamal's words and walks around the scene.
The cause of death of the deceased was cyanide poisoning, which is currently presumed to be a sugar ball in the deceased's mouth.
So far, nothing has been found on the body that can prove the identity, and the phone has been soaked in water and broken.
First of all, it was definitely not suicide, the phone fell directly into the toilet, apparently deliberately thrown in.
Some bruises were detected on the face and chest of the deceased, which were certainly not corpse spots from the time of death, and should be proof that the deceased had conflicts with others before death.
Keisuke Chiju's mind turned.
Judging from the voice that Carmel heard, this process happened quickly, and the murderer moved extremely quickly, pinching open the opponent's mouth and stuffing the sugar ball into it before the other party could react.
Wait? Why Sugar Balls? There are more convenient mediums than this, why Sugar Balls?
So instead of actively feeding the poison, it induces the deceased to eat the poisonous sugar balls?
Giving the deceased a poisonous sugar ball in advance and waiting for the deceased to eat it without knowing it? Although theoretically possible, the timing is too coincidental.
Is there anything about the deceased's phone call that would induce him to eat sugar?
Keisuke Chiju's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but fortunately, the disguise mask is a very high-end work, otherwise it might have been detached from the face.
"What's wrong?" the big officer grimaced. "Oto Prefecture Lake walked by and hooked Keisuke Chiju's shoulder, and since he found out that everyone was a 'fellow countryman', he has been very enthusiastic about Keisuke Chiju.
"This case is a bit awkward...... "There was no one around, Keisuke Chiju whispered his doubts.
Oto Prefecture Lake thought for a while: "Hmm...... I think the blind spot is that now everyone has tacitly agreed that the candy is poison, what if the sugar is in the mouth of the deceased from the beginning, and the poison is something else?"
"Police Department, the test results are out, and there is poison on the sugar ball!" At this time, the police officer who walked in outside and went to test the sugar ball reported to the county public wang and slapped Oto County Lake in the face.
Keisuke Chiju squinted at Oto Prefecture Lake, Otto Prefecture Lake blushed and walked away without saying anything.
Keisuke Chiju glanced back at the door of the bathroom again, and found that the kid from Hattori Heiji was yelling about what Kansai dialect or something, and Uncle Mori brought those people were all in a heated discussion.
Frowning, Keisuke Chiju walked directly through those people, ready to observe if the guests outside could be the murderer.
Uncle Maori glanced back at the unfamiliar face who was directly waiting for the others: "Recently, there have been more and more newcomers in your department. β
"Ha, yes, his name is Keisuke Chiju, he was just transferred from Gunma today, and it says that he is a very good police officer, and it seems that he is from the police department over there. Shan County Gongwang replied casually.
"Gunma, I haven't really seen him in the case over there, maybe he was in charge of other types of cases, right?" Uncle Mori recalled, he only remembered Gunma as a fool.
Conan also glanced at it with some curiosity, but only at a glance, and then refocused his attention on the case, Hattori Heiji, that guy ran over today, and after following here, he shouted that he wanted to compete with Kudo Shinichi to reason.
Although I felt that it was very immature to take care of him, I felt very uncomfortable letting him be arrogant anywhere, so I still rubbed his sharpness fiercely.
Heiji Hattori just took advantage of the Kansai people to interpret the words that the deceased said before his death, and according to the correct interpretation of the Kansai dialect, he had already overwhelmed him.
The correct meaning of that sentence is: "You are yourself who put poison on the sugar ball, and you are responsible for it!"
Then this sentence naturally does not mean suicide, and it is speculated that the deceased should have persuaded the murderer to turn himself in and other 'take responsibility', and was killed by the murderer.
β¦β¦
Keisuke Chiju looked around the audience, thinking that those people might be murderers.
I glanced up at the roof, and if there was a camera in the store, I could see who had entered the bathroom at that time.
The deceased said: "Even if they are friends who grew up together. "So it is very likely that the murderer is a middle-aged man who is the same age as the deceased, around forty years old.
Those who can freely enter the men's toilet are more likely to kill, and the chances of men are higher.
Men over 35 and under 45, there are a lot of people in the restaurant, and those who come to eat with their wives and children can be considered later.
In the same way, if the person sitting alone in the seat is the main object of suspicion, then there are three in total.
Keisuke Chiju glanced back at Yama Prefecture Gongwang, who was still talking to the detective, and shook his head with some disappointment, he couldn't ask the suspect rashly now.
The clerk in the restaurant, probably because of fear or nervousness, gathers at the counter all the time and will not leave until a customer orders or checks out.
"May I ask some questions?" Keisuke Chiju walked over.
"I'm the store manager, Mamoko Irita, Mr. Officer, excuse me. The woman standing at the counter said.
"The three guests who sat in the smoking area. Shui Jianyue turned around and gestured to the three suspects in his mind with his eyes: "Did any of you notice what they were doing when the crime happened?"
The clerks looked at each other and shook their heads, waiting for half a minute before Keisuke Senju made sure that no one noticed them.
"So...... Is anyone noticing the family of three over there?" Keisuke Chiju asked in a different person.
They looked at each other again, and then one of the clerks said, "When the foreigner came out to say that the dead man, I was ordering for them." β
"Well, how long have you been working here. β
"It's been five months. β
"Okay, thank you. "Assuming that it was killed on the spot, the person's alibi would be basically established.
β¦β¦
And so on, the rest of the suspicious males have been eliminated, and only the three unlucky ones who are left alone...... Most likely two unlucky guys and a murderer.
"Why don't you let me participate!" Hattori said in a thick Kansai accent.
"Although I am very grateful to this young man for providing us with so many references to the Kansai dialect, we can't just let others participate in the specific case handling process. Yama Prefecture Gongwang smiled mildly and waved his hand to refuse Hattori Heiji's request to investigate together.
"Hey, do you know who I am?" shouted Hattori Heiji angrily.
This second generation of officials is here again...... Keisuke Chiju shook his head speechlessly.
"This ...... Is it Mr. Maori, your son and nephew?" asked Uncle Maori, hoping that Uncle Maori would take care of the baby he brought.
"I'm Heiji Hattori, a high school detective in Kansai! I'm even better than Kudo!" Hattori shouted.
As a result, Shan County Gongwang refused more thoroughly: "Since you are a detective, it is even worse." Although it was the person's idea not to use the detective, after the person left, the higher-ups issued a document that meant not to interfere with the detective as much as possible.
Otherwise, if the rumor that "the police without the murderer can only rely on detectives" spread, the life of the Metropolitan Police Department will really be impossible.
"My dad is the head of the Osaka Police Headquarters!" Hattori Heiji used his killer weapon, his face was tough but he looked at the other party uneasily, for fear that this person would be the same as that Mizuma Moon in this regard, and he turned his face and told him that this is Tokyo, not Osaka, and there is no part for him to speak.
Fortunately, Hattori Heiji got his wish, and saw a look of embarrassment on the face of the public in Yama County.
Hattori Heiji is not an uneducated ignorant second generation, of course he knows that his behavior is a bit domineering, but he is all in order to stand on the front line of reasoning by unscrupulous means, not only for the duel with Kudo, but also to prevent the confused police from not finding the real murderer, only by participating in the investigation, can he get clues in the first time, find the murderer, and defeat Kudo!
"Okay, okay!" Just when Hattori Heiji was about to pull some more banners to overwhelm the public hope of the county government, Uncle Maori finally couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out to arrest him back: "Don't be difficult to work for others, do you understand that the police here are like this?"
Hattori Heijishin Uncle Maori is hell, if the police here don't let the detectives do it all the time, how did Kudo Shinichi in Kanto come up with his name.
"Heiji's appearance just now is really bad......" Kazuha also complained, making Hattori Heiji realize that his behavior must be ugly.
"Then what about my match with Kudo?" said Hattori Heiji with some awkwardness.
"Come here, sit here, and let the seniors teach you how to sit here and solve the case quietly, hum!" Uncle Maori pulled Hattori Heiji and everyone to the smoking area, sat down at two tables, and lit a cigarette.
