"That's right...... You lost consciousness after drinking the juice. ”

After discovering that Soma was dead, Shigemitsu Kazama called for police support to control the crime scene, and when the two bodyguards who were unconscious woke up, they learned that the reason for their coma was that they drank the juice that was delivered.

In this regard, the two bodyguards were still a little unbelievable about the reality of the current death of their employer, and replied:

"Yes...... After drinking the juice, I suddenly felt very sleepy......"

In this way, after repeatedly confirming the situation of the two at the time, a little helpless, Shigemitsu Kazama did not continue to ask them, but looked at the place where the explosion occurred, and couldn't help but think:

"It seems that the murderer must have used the explosion to cause a riot outside while Mr. Soma was asleep with his bodyguards, and before entering the tent, he slit Mr. Soma's throat with a knife......"

"Officer Kazama, the three cups of juice found at the scene were indeed mixed with sleeping drugs."

At this moment, the police officer of the Forensic Identification Division, who was in charge of investigating the items at the scene, came over and reported the situation to Shigemitsu Kazama.

In this regard, Shigemitsu Kazama nodded, and then couldn't help but look at Miss Cat Village, who was in charge of distributing drinks-

"Miss Ye Hua of Cat Village, according to the bodyguard's statement, the three drinks for Mr. Soma and the bodyguard in the tent were all brought by you, so it shouldn't be that you added sleeping pills to it, right?"

"How so!"

Hearing Shigemitsu Kazama's inquiry, Miss Ye Hua of the cat village hurriedly replied in a little panic:

"How could I do such a thing......"

"That's right!"

While he was talking, Ye Hua of Cat Village didn't know how to explain it because he was facing the police's questioning, but a voice came from the side, interrupting the conversation between them-

When I looked at the sound, I saw that it was Conan.

Because listening to the conversation between them, Conan on the side seemed to think of something, so he couldn't help but suddenly stepped forward and asked Ye Hua of the cat village:

"Big sister, I remember you said that the ice machine broke down today, right? And as you said earlier, you asked for ice cubes from the shaved ice stall and the fried noodle stall. So besides them, who else did you ask for ice cubes? ”

"Nope."

In this regard, I don't know what Conan asked this for, but subconsciously, Cat Village Ye Hua still replied:

"Only the two stall owners on the other side ......"

As he spoke, Maocun Ye Hua looked at the shaved ice stall and fried noodle stall located next to the beverage stall, and continued:

"I only ask for ice cubes with Miss Yuuki from the shaved ice stall and Mr. Kamai from the yakisoba stall."

Hearing this, Conan nodded, and then looked at the two stalls with a slightly serious expression—

"That's right...... Are these two stall owners the only one? So, the murderer used that one to commit this murder? But who, exactly?

"I already know how the killer caused the explosion and mixed sleeping pills into the drink. All that remains, to determine who is the culprit of this incident, we have to find more conclusive evidence - for example, the murder weapon used to kill the deceased! ”

Thinking like this, Conan couldn't help but start thinking about what happened before and after the incident-

"The explosion occurred on the west side of the park square, and the location where the general manager was killed was in a rest tent on the east side."

At this time, Mamoru Hoto, who had roughly gathered information, was holding a notebook, looking at the content recorded on it, briefly repeating it, and explaining the situation of the incident with Shigemitsu Kazama:

"I heard from my colleagues in the forensic department that the explosives were gas canisters of cassette gas stoves, and we are still investigating whether it was accidental or deliberate, and it is not yet possible to determine whether the explosion is related to the homicide."

"That's right......"

Hearing this, Shigemitsu Kazama felt a little headache-

"That explosion was planned!"

In this regard, listening to their conversation, Conan couldn't help but step forward and explain to Shigemitsu Kazama.

"Huh?"

Somewhat surprised, hearing Conan's affirmative words, Shigemitsu Kazama made a puzzled voice-

"There were two cassette gas stoves at the site of the explosion, and there were also iron plates...... In addition, the switches of the two cassette gas stoves were also turned to the side where the fire was fired, so someone must have placed an iron plate on the two cassette gas stoves and opened fire, thus causing the gas to explode. ”

With a slightly innocent expression, Conan explained to Shigemitsu Kazama:

"Put an iron plate on top of the cassette gas stove that fires, the iron plate can be easily heated, and there are two casgas stoves that fix the iron plates, so that the iron plate is just on the part of the gas tank at both ends of the casgas stove...... And as the iron plate gradually heats up, the iron plate can easily conduct the temperature to the gas tank, so that the high temperature will cause the gas tank to explode! ”

"What!"

Hearing this, Shigemitsu Kazama was suddenly shocked-

"As the kid said."

At this time, the police officer of the forensic department also came over and reported to Shigemitsu Kazama:

"There is a high probability that the explosion was deliberately caused by someone."

In this regard, after being confirmed by the officers of the Forensic Identification Division, Shigemitsu Kazama and Mamoru Hito, who were present, could not help but be surprised by Conan's statement after affirming that the explosion was related to the homicide:

"I see. But you know this at a young age, and it's so good to observe......"

"Uh......"

Hearing this, Conan touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and at the same time waved his other hand and explained:

"No...... It's all Mao ......."

"Of course!"

In this regard, just as Conan was planning to move Mori Kogoro out, the members of the Junior Detective Corps, Mitsuhiko and Motota, were pulling Ayumi to the front of the two policemen, and said proudly:

"We're a boy detective!"

"And, our Ayumi, she still saw the murderer who escaped!"

While Motota boasted about the name of the Junior Detective Corps, Mitsuhiko pushed Ayumi to the front of the stage, explaining the fact that Ayumi found someone coming out of the tent after the explosion:

"I even saw that the murderer was wearing a 'KEI no Okama' event T-shirt!"

"What did you say!"

Suddenly, as soon as Mitsuhiko said this, Shigemitsu Kazama naturally didn't pay attention to Conan anymore, but looked at Ayumi, and was extremely surprised that she saw the murderer.

So, although she was a little flustered, Ayumi still said that she and the others were not far from the tent at the time, and after hearing the explosion, she saw someone coming out of the tent and said a little about it-

Although it was only a glimpse in the afterglow, at that distance, the conspicuous logo of the "KEI no Okama" company on the back of the clothes that the person was wearing, Ayumi was sure that she could not be mistaken.

In this regard, hearing Ayumi say this, Huo Tomori was also thoughtful at this time, and remembered that he didn't seem to look back at the explosion in time because he didn't look back in time, so he also seemed to see what Ayumi said-

"In that case, I seem to have seen someone coming out of the tent at the time......

"What did you say!"

Hearing this, Shigemitsu Kazama couldn't help but question the fire to Mamoru Tsuruto:

"Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier!"

"Ah...... This ......"

In this regard, there is some weakness, and Mamoru Hoto explained:

"Because there was an explosion, my mind was a little messy...... Also, I didn't seem to see much of the situation...... After all, we were still some distance from the tent at that time......"

"You ...... guy"

Listening to Mamoru Huoto's explanation, thinking that when he was in the suburbs before, he had always had so few tendons, Shigemitsu Kazama could only sigh helplessly, and then he didn't say anything more to Mamoru Huoto, but began to think about the information that Ayumi said, and then, he looked at Ye Hua of the cat village on the side-

"So, there is a juice with sleeping pills, and a T-shirt with 'KEI no Hills'......

"Miss Cat Village, sure enough, you killed Mr. Soma!"
