Chapter 12 Why Don't You Communicate Well?
"I know who the killer is!"
Mao Lilan saw that his childhood sweetheart's bad mistake had been committed again, so he stepped forward embarrassedly and grabbed Kudo Shinichi's arm, and whispered: "Shinichi, don't make trouble, the police are handling the case." β
"What, I'm not making trouble, I really already know who the murderer is!"
"Tell your reasoning."
"Huh?"
Kudo Shinichi turned his head and saw a smile in the eyes of Ghost Sawa Chong, who was looking at him condescendingly, he leaned down and looked directly into his eyes, and said seriously, "I'm very interested in your reasoning." β
Hearing that this very smart police officer was interested in his reasoning, Kudo Shinichi showed a confident little expression, and after everyone's eyes were all focused on him, he stretched out his hand to Kumiko Minagawa, who had been forgotten by everyone, and said loudly: "The prisoner in this case is Mr. Minagawa's mother, Mrs. Minagawa!" β
"What?!"
Kumiko Minagawa's hands trembled slightly, and she almost broke the coffee cup in her hand, she put down the cleaned coffee cup, directly smeared her wet hands on the kimono, and retorted: "You, what are you talking about?" How can I be a murderer, you can tell me how I killed him, you say! β
"You poisoned the food."
"But everyone eats the same food, how can it happen that Katsuhiko is the only one who is poisoned!"
Hearing this, Ritsu Sasashima understood what method Kumiko Minagawa used to poison her, combined with the information revealed by Kudo, I am afraid that she used that method to successfully poison Katsuhiko Minagawa alone.
"Xiaolan, you should remember, right?"
"Huh? What to remember? β
Shinichi Kudo pointed to Susumu Minagawa, who was hiding behind his mother, and smiled, "This little ghost once stole a sip of your coffee, do you remember what happened next?" β
Mao Lilan looked up and struggled to recall, "Hmm... I remember that Mrs. Minagawa brought him a cake, right? β
"That's right." Kudo Shinichi looked at everyone present and said, "I think many of you here have seen the scene when Mrs. Minagawa reprimanded Ah Jin, just because Ah Jin ate the chocolate given by Miss Ah Xiang. β
He paced in front of Minagawa Jin, squatted down and smiled, "Little ghost, do you remember how your mother reprimanded you?" You were crying at the time. β
After looking up at his mother, Minagawa Jin covered his red and swollen cheeks and whispered, "I, because I have tooth decay, big brother, my tooth decay hurts..."
"When the matter is over, will the big brother take you to the dentist?"
"But the dentist is bad! Theyβthey're going to take out tweezers, and they're scary. β
Seeing the child's frightened appearance, Ritsu Sasashima didn't know if it was a bad taste, so he opened his mouth and threatened: "If you don't go to the hospital to deal with your tooth decay, be careful that the worms in the tooth cavity absorb your nutrients and grow, and crawl out to eat you while you sleep." β
ββ¦β¦ Can you look like a cop if you're a cop? Is it fun to scare a child? Yuna Hayasaka glanced at Takashi Onizawa, patted her little head to comfort Jin, who was about to cry, and comforted: "Don't listen to that strange uncle, as long as you treat it well to the dentist, it will be fine, and the filling will not hurt." β
"Uncle Blame?" Ritsu Sasashima muttered in a low voice, "Then aren't you an old woman older than me?" β
"Shut up." Yuna Hayasaka's pretty face turned hideous when she heard this, and if it weren't for the crowd here, she would have stomped on this guy's instep with her heel.
Seeing that the topic was off track, Suzuki Sonoko cautiously raised her hand and interrupted, "That... Isn't the topic off-track? Is there any connection between tooth decay and this case? β
"Naturally, it's related, she will be angry because Ah Jin eats chocolate, so how can she take the initiative to feed Ah Jin the cake?" Ritsu Sasashima stretched out his right hand and pointed to the cleaned coffee cups in the kitchen, and said indifferently: "It's probably that poison and antidote are put in the coffee and cake respectively, so I immediately fed a bite of cake after seeing Ah Jin secretly drinking coffee." β
His scarlet eyes were like hunters in the dark night, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said in a pleasant tone, "I'm right, right?" Mrs. Minagawa. β
Kudo Shinichi glanced at Onizawa in surprise, he really didn't expect this police officer to have two brushes, and he could immediately realize the truth of the case just by his own reminder.
"You talk nonsense! What about the evidence? There's no evidence of my poisoning at all! β
Ritsu Sashima took off his glasses, took out the glasses cloth and gently wiped the lenses, he lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Evidence? I advise Mrs. Minagawa to learn a little more before committing the crime. Poisons like that can leave residue on the walls of the cup even if they are rinsed with clean water, and can be detected from the drain even if they can't be found on the coffee cup, so are you still prepared to quibble? β
After saying this, he put his glasses back on, looked at the wall air conditioner that was delivering the heating, and his eyes fell on the dark brown marks on the lilac kimono, and reminded him in a friendly way: "There is another key piece of evidence..."
"Mrs. Mikawa, the chocolate hidden in your kimono is about to melt."
Kumiko Minagawa covered the stains on her kimono, her pale face like that of a Kabukicho dancer wearing heavy makeup, and she opened her mouth to try to refute, but she couldn't speak under the cold gaze.
Yuna Hayasaka couldn't understand that her mother could do something to kill her son, and she was puzzled: "... Why do you want to kill your own son? β
"She's not Katsuyan's biological mother." As a childhood sweetheart, Guan Gu Xiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a low tone: "Kahiko's biological parents died in a car accident seven years ago, and it is precisely because of this that she was adopted by her as an aunt. β
Knowing that she had no way to escape the punishment of the law, Kumiko Minagawa knelt down and hugged the confused Minagawa Shin, and said bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I'm also desperate, my husband's career has failed, so I want to get my hands on Katsuhiko's inheritance no matter what, and I want to protect this family... And Ah Jin's happiness! β
It's not biological, so can it hurt the killer?
There was an inexplicable gunshot in his ears, and Ritsu Sasashima laughed at himself so much that the corners of his mouth were hooked, and such a thing would happen if he was related by blood, not to mention that the person in front of him was blinded by the word profit.
Ritsu Sasashima took out the handcuffs from behind her waist and motioned for Yuna Hayasaka to take Minagawa to another room. After all, it was cruel for him to witness his mother being handcuffed.
"Why don't you communicate well? Katsuhiko Minagawa is your own nephew, so sit down and talk to him about your troubles, maybe he will lend a hand, right? β
Turning the handcuff lock beam open, Ritsu Sasashima gently handcuffed the cuff ring to Kumiko Minagawa's wrist, reached out to help her up who fell to her knees and confessed, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the prison to atone for your sins, Mrs. Minagawa." β
Looking at Kumiko Minagawa who was taken away by the police, Mao Lilan couldn't help but sigh, it was really a sad case, if they could communicate well, maybe such a tragedy would not have happened.
Maori Kogoro saw that the case was solved, he squinted his eyes and looked at his daughter who was standing with the stinky boy, waved his hand and said, "Hey Xiaolan, it's time to go home and cook dinner for me, come back quickly!" β
"Got it, Dad!"
"Ahh
Suzuki Sonoko's sudden scream frightened Mao Lilan almost jumped on the spot, she reached out and patted the garden's arm, and said coquettishly: "Garden, why are you so surprised?" Surprise me! β
"I forgot to give the chocolate to the Onizawa Police Department!!" Sonoko Suzuki looked at the beautifully packaged chocolate in her hand and said loudly.
The two looked out of the glass door, where the lilac beetle parked in the door had slowly driven away. Sonoko Suzuki said in frustration: "Hey, the handsome guy who came to his mouth ran away, it's really a bad Valentine's Day." β
"Maybe there will be a chance to meet somewhere else in the future, I'll go back to the garden first."
Hearing that Xiaolan was going back, Wakamatsu Junxiu, who had been pricking up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation, immediately stepped forward and smiled: "Xiaolan, I'll send you back!" β
"No need, my dad should be waiting for me outside." Maolilan politely refused.
Kudo Shinichi glared at the half-moon eye, stretched out his index finger and poked Wakamatsu Toshihide's muscular back, and said, "Hey, why don't you send me back, my family lives in rice flowers..."
"Don't."
Kudo Shinichi, who was rejected, was not annoyed, he quickly kept up with Xiaolan's pace with his hands in his pockets, looked to the other side and asked in a low voice, "Xiaolan, you haven't given away your chocolate yet, have you?" β
"yes, I didn't think about who I wanted to give it to."
Of course it's for me, Kudo Shinichi shouted the villain in his heart.
However, there were words against his will: "Do you think the chocolate you made is too unpalatable, so you are embarrassed to give it away?" β
"What are you talking about, Shinichi!" Mao Lilan puffed out his mouth angrily, took out the chocolate he made by himself from his bag, stuffed it directly into Kudo's arms, and said, "I worked hard to make it step by step according to the textbook!" β
"Then I'll give you a taste." Kudo Shinichi felt a dark feeling in his heart, and when he succeeded, he tore open the wrapper and took a bite, the sweet but not greasy milk chocolate was very silky in the mouth, obviously delicious but awkward: "Hmm... It tastes good, but it's still far from what you sell in the store. β
"Of course! I'm a beginner, okay? If you don't think it tastes good, give it back to me. β
"Stupid! How can you go back what you gave to someone else! β
