Chapter 804: Are You Listening?
Mori Kogoro, who was talking about it, had to step down, and although the guests around him still gave him warm applause, the uncle still complained.
"Oops," Mrs. Urai laughed, "my husband is too, it's like he's really dead......"
The uncle didn't have a smile on his face, and after squatting down to Urajing's side, he raised his wrist to check his watch according to the procedure and said, "Well, the estimated time of death is 19:54...... If my detective instincts are correct, the prisoner must be ......"
"President Urai is not acting......"
Gao Cheng suddenly interrupted the uncle and checked the pulse of Urai under the unexpected gaze of Mrs. Urai.
"He doesn't have a heartbeat anymore."
"Huh?" Before the uncle could react, the next moment he looked at Urai Tsuruto, whose lips were starting to turn blue, and exclaimed, "Really, really dead?!" ”
Mrs. Urai's smile froze, and she said in a panic, "Hey, are you kidding?" ”
"The cause of death, cyanide poisoning."
Gao Cheng turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Urai lightly.
Since there is no warning, it means that there was a murderous intent before the banquet, an absolute murder.
At the time of the crime, in addition to Xiaolan, there were only a few people by President Urai's side, and there was only this Mrs. Urajing, and her reaction after seeing President Urai fall to the ground was also very strange, normally even if she knew that she was acting, she should cooperate with her husband, but just now not only took the initiative to say that it was a performance, but also reminded the uncle to cooperate with him with a smile.
Gao Cheng silently looked at President Urai who was staring at the ground with his eyes wide open, his death was tragic, and it was sad that he was still treated as a joke, and he must have been quite desperate at the last moment, although the poison attack was rapid and there was no time to think.
The fat president has only met him twice, and it's actually hard to judge what kind of person he is, but it's not bad in front of him, kind and generous, at least there is no problem in receiving people and things, and he is also very neat when he promises to help him prepare gifts.
Of course, businessmen must not be viewed unilaterally, and the multifaceted nature of people is also destined to be not pure, and it is worth investigating what kind of style President Urai has in the mall, at the company, and at home.
Generally speaking, the average murderer may be a family member, a colleague or a competitor in various senses, and the police investigation also starts from the aspect of social connections.
The most suspicious person at the scene is undoubtedly Mrs. Urai, the pillow person next to President Urai, and it is worth investigating both social relations and the time of the crime.
The question is......
Gao Cheng frowned slightly.
At the time of the incident, Uncle Maori came to the stage to speak, and Mrs. Urai had been helping Xiaolan look at her palms at that time, how did she move her hands?
……
"The deceased was Mr. Urai Truito, 53 years old, president of Urai Foods Co., Ltd., and the organizer of this party, who was ...... of acute drug poisoning caused by cyanide."
The police at the Kabido City Hotel are still the Metropolitan Police Department's search class, and Twilight rushed to the scene with Sato and Takagi, and saw Takatari and Mori Kogoro and his party on the side, and his heart did not fluctuate.
"When President Urai had an accident, there were only Xiaolan, Conan, Xiao Ai, and President Urai's wife, Ms. Urai Xingjiang, who is also the vice president of Urai Foods Company, right?"
"Well," Urai nodded his head, "just as Mr. Mori was giving a speech, my husband suddenly screamed loudly and collapsed, and he never ......moved again."
"At that time, it was Madame who was by President Urai's side, right?"
"Yes...... I'm showing Miss Xiaolan a palmistry? ”
"Palmistry?"
"That's right," Lan helped testify, "Madame is watching with both hands holding my hand, so ......"
"In other words, it is impossible to hold something poisonous in your hand and be eaten by the victim," Twilight asked Lady Xiaolan with a deep groan, "Did Madame say anything to President Urai at that time?" Like asking him to drink something or eat something. ”
Xiaolan shook her head and said, "No, Mrs. just said that she showed him the palmistry before the president got up in the morning......"
Conan next to him looked at Mrs. Urai, who was silent and looked calm, and interjected, "But Sister Xiaolan, didn't Mrs. still say the sentence 'Are you listening'?" ”
"Are you listening?" Twilight looked puzzled.
"Yes," Xiaolan recalled and quickly explained, "At first, I thought it was me, but it turned out that I was asking the president. ”
Mrs. Urai followed: "Because it is rare for Mr. Mori to give a speech, he is actually in a daze......"
Conan's gaze deepened, and Officer Twilight said, "But at that time, President Urai's answer was a little strange, and he didn't say that he was listening or not listening, but that he said, 'Well, probably ......'"
"My husband must have been absent-minded, so he replied casually," Mrs. Urai looked at Conan, sighed helplessly and closed her eyes, "because it was planned that after Mr. Mori's speech, there was something important to announce, which was to divorce me and split the company in two." ”
"Divorce?"
"Yes, the scale of Urai Foods is already very large, and I often have conflicts with my husband about the management policy, which is also a no-brainer, although he cried and begged me to reconsider, saying that even if the company is divided, I should not divorce, and I can't live without it......"
Gao Cheng was not idle, and had already learned about the situation at the time of the crime through Xiao Ai, especially the state of the Pujing couple at that time, but unfortunately Xiao Ai's attention was not on the two at that time, and he didn't find anything abnormal, but he learned a lot of gossip about the Pujing couple from the garden.
President Urai likes to surprise guests with performances at parties every year, as well as the past of Mr. and Mrs. Urai.
The two are experts in the study of sour and sweet tastes, respectively, and President Urai is notoriously disgusted with sourness, and he was bedridden because of eating sour cakes.
In addition, both husband and wife have won prizes in food contests, and Mrs. Urai is also a student of President Urai at the confectionery school.
Gao Cheng looked at the garden strangely and asked, "Where did you know this?" ”
This is born to be a detective.
Yuan Zi blushed and raised his hand: "It's nothing, it's all from people......"
Because there were already a lot of reporters gathered outside the entrance of the venue, for the sake of reputation, Mrs. Urai took the initiative to ask to go to the room dedicated to the staff behind to check and search her body, but when she left with Sato, she accidentally tripped her foot and hit the ground with a glass of lemon drink on the long table, and the sound of the cup breaking once again attracted the attention of the audience.
Gao Cheng looked at Mrs. Urai, who seemed to be holding up by Sato on the other side of the long table, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he hurriedly grabbed the staff who wanted to clean up at the first time.
Several cups shattered, splintering the floor, drinks spilled all over the floor, and cups were poured on the table, and drinks were running down the tablecloth.
Just now, because of the tablecloth, I couldn't see what Mrs. Urai did, but with Officer Sato on the side, I shouldn't be able to make much movement.
Gao Cheng crouched to the side of the debris and lifted the tablecloth to take a look, when one of the guests suddenly hesitated and said to Twilight, "That, officer...... Actually, I saw that this gentleman had whispered something to the president before, and it was very strange when the crime happened......"
"Huh?"
Twilight was stunned for a moment, and Gao Cheng, who was looking for clues, was also stunned.
"Isn't it?" The guest turned to a waiter next to him and said, "At that time, you took this gentleman to the back room, I remember that it was just when the lights were turned off, and you happened to pass by before the president's accident......
The waiter was frightened, and hurriedly looked at Gao Cheng: "But he is ......"
"You don't know he's Detective Takatari Shiroto, right?" Twilight looked at the whistleblower who hadn't figured out the situation yet, and turned to Gao Cheng with her eyelids and asked, "And then?" Brother Joto, who always happens to be at the scene of the crime, why did you follow you to the party? ”
"President Urai invited me over," Gao Cheng scratched his hair, "but this time the protagonist is Uncle Maori, so I just happened to come over, so I asked President Urai for a small favor by the way." ”
"A little favor?"
"Ah, it's nothing, it's something that has nothing to do with the case."
Gao Cheng hurriedly interrupted the waiter who wanted to explain, and returned to the topic: "Police Department, the key to this case is how to poison it, as far as I think, the possibility of suicide is very low." ”
"Has suicide been ruled out?" Twilight looked confused, he thought that suicide was the most likely.
