Chapter 10: A Chocolate Drink That Symbolizes Betrayal
In the crowd, Kudo Shinichi's body shone with a layer of dazzling starlight, bright and dazzling.
This is not an analogy of an unpopular writer, but a picture that is truly presented in Mu Yuan's eyes.
Heartless people don't know what regret is, but if they had known that Kudo Shinichi had a habit of making emotional sand when reasoning, Mu Yuan would definitely not choose Twilight Thirteen to be his partner.
After all, Twilight Thirteen will only provide a lot of emotional sand when the case is solved
- Although the amount is a lot, the operability is too low.
And Kudo Shinichi is different, if you can find a way to make him talk a little longer......
Pity...... Well, the unintentional don't know what a pity is.
β¦
After the cabinet made of cherry wood, Mu Yuan casually took the emotional sand from the emotional fish, and watched the play while inscribed his heart pattern.
At this moment, a packet of coffee beans with the word "Sherry" on the label caught his eye, but it was only for a moment that he looked at Kudo Shinichi again.
Mu Yuan knew that this detective was about to run into trouble.
There was nothing wrong with Kudo's reasoning, and the questioning strategy he used could not be said to be wrong, but he missed the best opportunity to solve the case quickly.
This is not actually his problem, after all, not everyone can see the heart circle.
Naturally, not everyone can be like Mu Yuan, and at a glance can see the real reason why Kurosawa Koto has been led by Kudo Shinichi
- He didn't expect that the police would find Mayumi Uchida's body before he rushed back to the coffee shop.
Or rather......
The police were able to discover Mayumi Uchida's death, which was completely out of his plans.
This is the source of Kurosawa's panic and panic.
But he won't be at a loss forever.
How could a person who could have gone to such great lengths to devise a murderous motive have not considered the possibility of an accident at all?
Once Kurosawa got used to the impact of the accident......
Kudo Shinichi is in big trouble.

On the other side, Shinichi Kudo, who is holding a photo, has already begun to explain:
"The human body is not as fragile as most people think."
"In an environment of minus 18 degrees, it will take at least two days or so to freeze a healthy and conscious adult to death."
"Even if the physical condition is not good, or even in a dying state, as long as you can stay conscious, you can rely on your own heat and persist for more than half a day."
"I want to freeze the human body to the extent that Ms. Ayumi ......"
"Even if you are unconscious, it will take at least half a day for the corpse to show this "frozen meat" state where body fluids and body tissues are completely coagulated."
"In other words, there is only one possible way to make Ms. Mayumi's body appear in this state, and that is ......"
"She was killed shortly after she entered the cold storage!"
"So, Mr. Kurosawa ......"
Kudo Shinichi held the photo up in front of Kurosawa's eyes and continued, "What you said about suicide, freezing to death...... In fact, it's all to cover up the real cause of Ms. Mayumi's death! β
β¦
The identity of the detective and the convincing inference once again conquered the criminal policemen present.
Some experienced criminal policemen have even begun to quietly move their positions, preparing to block the route when Kurosawa Qin fled.
However, the expected restlessness and irritability did not appear in Kurosawa.
The words "the real cause of Mayumi Uchida's death" are like a secret medicine that can awaken memories, and Kurosawa Kotoen instantly takes Kurosawa back to those nights he planned back and forth.
Methods of killing, methods of dealing with the aftermath, post-discovery narratives, and...... The perfect exoneration plan, everything, all came to his mind again.
The murderer, who was able to conceive a murder method thousands of miles away, completely calmed down.
β¦
Kurosawa tilted her head, a strange smile on her lips.
He looked around the photo of the corpse in front of him and looked at Kudo Shinichi, his eyes full of presumptuousness and disdain......
The cold glint in those eyes seemed to sayβit's me, so what?
"You guy!"
Kudo Shinichi was shocked by the sight, but he didn't back down.
"Mr. Kurosawa, don't you still plead guilty?"
"As long as the police conduct a further autopsy on Ms. Mayumi's body, that kind of murder method will never be hidden!"
"Moreover, the only person who can use that technique is you, the owner of the coffee shop!"
β¦
"Hehe... Really? Kurosawa looked at Kudo Shinichi with a nonchalant expression.
The frivolous tone instantly attracted the angry eyes of a large number of criminal policemen.
But Kurosawa seemed to be completely unaffected, and pulled a wooden stool in front of the counter to himself, not only sat on it, but also took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his suit.
"Whew-" Kurosawa Qin swallowed smoke in front of the criminal police, and said arrogantly, "Then why don't you let them arrest me?" β
"You!" Kudo Shinichi was speechless.
The criminal policemen looked at Kurosawa Qin with serious expressions, and their hands seemed to be pressed on their waists.
At Twilight's command, they stepped forward and pushed the arrogant suspect to the ground.
However, Twilight Thirteen only bowed her head slightly, and her right hand supported the neck or chin.
Most of his expression was blocked by the slanted brim of his hat, so I don't know if he was reminiscing or thinking about something, but he didn't have any intention of giving an order anyway.
β¦
Seeing this, Kurosawa Qin pursed her lips even more disdainfully and said, "Heh, can't you do it?" So, I'm a little curious, Mr. Detective, what kind of method do you think "I" used to kill Mayumi thousands of miles away? β
"You ......"
Kudo Shinichi hesitated.
He had already sensed that the reason why Kurosawa was so unscrupulous must have something to rely on.
As long as Kurosawa's dependence can't be broken, even if his killing methods are told now, I'm afraid it won't have any practical effect.
But what is Kurosawa's reliance?
Kudo Shinichi didn't know, his heart was full of worry, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said, "Use poison!" You poisoned Ms. Mayumi with poisoned chocolate! β
β¦
"-oh?" Kurosawa played a strange long note.
A cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Kudo Shinichi
- Shinichi Kudo was right.
But even if he was told to kill someone, Kurosawa's face no longer showed any panic.
He scoffed, "Hah... You mean, I, who was far away in Paris, was nearly 10,000 kilometers away and "poisoned" Mayumi to death? β
"Poofha...... It's the cutest joke I've ever heard. β
"I didn't expect that the young Mr. Detective would have such a sense of humor."
"But ......" Kurosawa Koto's words changed sharply, and said ruthlessly, "That's all for the funny jokes, I don't have the superpowers that Mr. Detective thinks!" β
β¦
"It's not a superpower!"
Kudo Shinichi walked to the TV cabinet not far away with a determined face, and pointed to the video recorder below:
"Your modus operandi has been clearly recorded by this tape!"
As he spoke, Shinichi Kudo pressed the playback booth on the video camera.
The World Barista Awards were then presented on TV.
On TV, the host is interviewing Kotoko Kurosawa, who is the winner of the championship:
Moderator: "Mr. Kurosawa, it is said that you and one of your partners have been able to develop the coffee chocolate that helped you win the unanimous score of the judges in the special drink competition, so could you please tell us more about this coffee dessert?" β
Kurosawa Qin said with some surprise: "Ah...... Well, the chocolate we worked on together didn't work out. β
Moderator: "Huh? However, it is said that you also added the name of your partner to the application form. β
Kurosawa nodded, "Hmm...... That's right, but... I'm not a very good liar, but I was afraid that she would be upset. β
"As for the wine chocolate used in this competition, it is a new product that I have only recently developed on my own."
"But to be honest, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get everyone's approval. So, in order to relieve anxiety, I tried a few samples in my store before leaving, and those samples are probably still in the cold storage of my store. β
In the picture, Kurosawa scratches her head with a wry smile.
"Mr. Kurosawa is such a kind and lovely person!"
β¦
"Click..."
The host's smile and the pause button pressed by Shinichi Kudo froze on the spot.
Kudo Shinichi raised his head and said, "Mr. Kurosawa......"
"What is the reaction of Mayumi Uchida, who has been looking forward to using this opportunity to become a world-renowned pastry chef and completely get rid of the family quagmire with her beloved daughter, after hearing what you just said?"
"That's right! She'll be sure to open the door of the cold storage as soon as possible, find those chocolates you are talking about, and verify them for yourself......"
"Has she been betrayed by you, the person she trusts the most, Kurosawa Koto!"
β¦
As Kudo Shinichi's words fell, silence fell again in the coffee shop.
Even Kurosawa's pupils seem to have been lonely in a trance.
