Chapter 12: The Detective Who Blames Himself
Kudo Shinichi sat on the outside of the booth by the window, staring expressionlessly at the handsome monk opposite who could crush coffee beans with his fingers, and cursed "perverted" in his heart.
This time, he planted it.
Thinking about it, Kudo Shinichi felt that he was not without a chance.
If he could have been a little more patient and looked at the long term, he waited for Kurosawa Qin to show his flaws first, instead of throwing it in Kurosawa's face as soon as he figured out the modus operandi, trying to make the other party directly admit his guilt......
Maybe with a little clever language trap, you can also find an opportunity to search the other person's house;
Or wait until the police find out the details of the deceased's family......
He must have a chance to solve the case.
But now......
Kurosawa's psychological defense has been completely built, and the police's further investigation and questioning will certainly encounter all kinds of trappings, all kinds of obstructions, and all kinds of difficulties.
All this is caused by his impulsiveness.
Although no one would blame him for this, Kudo Shinichi was still very depressed.
Why are you so impulsive this time?
Kudo Shinichi's gaze swept over Twilight Thirteen beside him, and looked at Mu Yuan who was sitting by the window again, and gradually had an answer in his heart
- I probably don't want to experience it again, I'm still excitedly collecting clues, and the case has been solved by someone else for some reason.
…
…
"Kudo-san, in fact, you can try again, although it is still impossible to solve the case, but you can really try harder!" Mu Yuan looked at Kudo Shinichi, who was no longer shining with starlight on his body, and said with sincerity on his face.
“……”
Although Kudo Shinichi wanted to bite the flesh of Muyuan's thigh and say thank you to him, he finally held back.
After all, he has heard too many similar "unintentional" words, and his resistance has already been trained.
So he just wanted to bite and didn't put it into action.
…
"Well...... Forget it, Brother Kudo, you also know the situation of Brother Muyuan. ”
Twilight Thirteen spoke out to appease Kudo Shinichi, who was gritting his teeth, turned his head and apologized to Mu Yuan:
"I'm sorry, Brother Muyuan, I really didn't have time to ask the question you just asked me."
Mu Yuan: "......"
Although unintentional people don't feel helpless because of other people's behaviors, Mu Yuan really doesn't know what to say at this time.
So...... Well, it can also be said that he is a little speechless.
But according to the habit of ordinary people, since others apologize, he still has to say something after all.
"It's okay." Mu Yuan thought for a while and comforted: "Even if you ask those questions, this case has just been solved, it's not a big deal." ”
"......" The smile on Twilight Thirteen's face stiffened a little, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, "Brother Muyuan is still so good at comforting people." ”
"You've won the prize, and you're far from the police department."
“……”
…
"Hey, hey, hey!" Thundered by the strange conversation between the two on the side, Kudo Shinichi finally couldn't help but say, "What are you talking about, what are you talking about?" ”
"Oh, it's Brother Kudo that when you just went to watch the videotape, Brother Muyuan actually gave me a few questions for the suspect."
"And this kind of thing?" Kudo Shinichi was stunned and said in surprise: "Then why didn't you ask the police department?" ”
"Whew-" Twilight Thirteen took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't ask, I'm really right, no, up, you, ah!" ”
“……”
Even if he was sluggish, Kudo Shinichi sensed the anger between Twilight Thirteen's words.
He recalled for a moment, and then noticed some details that he had subconsciously overlooked......
"Ahaha...... Don't worry about the details! Kudo Shinichi sneered and said, "Twilight Police Department, you should talk about it first, Mu Yuan's bastard...... What did host Mu Yuan ask you, right? ”
"Hmph......" Twilight Thirteen snorted coldly, and after all, under the nature of a good man, he opened his mouth to explain: "Brother Muyuan asked me a total of three questions. ”
"The first question is what kind of coffee beans are stored in the transparent sealed bag in the middle of the third layer on the second rack on the right-hand side of the cold storage."
"After the coffee shop owner answered the type of coffee beans, he asked the second question, why there is no air valve on this sealed bag."
"After the boss answered the reason, he asked the third question, there must be many different raw materials for making this kind of thing, you have stored them all at home, can you take us to see it?"
"That's it."
With that, Twilight Thirteen spread out his hands and stared at Kudo Shinichi expectantly.
That's right, he was actually very curious about why Mu Yuan asked him to ask such three questions, especially the conditions before the last two questions.
What if Kurosawa didn't answer the type of coffee beans, or didn't say what was in the bag...... Don't ask the following questions?
Twilight Thirteen was genuinely curious.
But with Muyuan's condition, it is definitely not suitable to explain this, so he can only count on Kudo Shinichi.
Fortunately, Shinichi Kudo did not disappoint him.
Just after listening to the content of the three questions, Kudo Shinichi touched his chin and said with words in his mouth:
"The second row of shelves seems to be where Ms. Mayumi fell?"
"In other words, this shelf probably originally contained the piece of chocolate that poisoned Ms. Mayumi."
"Transparent sealed bag...... Specialty coffee beans should be kept away from light. ”
"There is no air valve...... Is it a single vent valve that discharges the carbon dioxide released by coffee beans to keep it fresh? ”
"Why is there a certain kind of coffee beans stored in a sealed bag that is not suitable for storing coffee beans at all?"
Shinichi Kudo frowned, quickly replaying all the details related to the case in his mind, and soon his eyes lit up.
"Wait! I remember that Kurosawa said at the time of the award that the reason why the coffee and wine chocolate he won the championship had both the flavor of coffee and the mellow aroma of chocolate and wine was because he used a special dipping technique? ”
"Yes! Damn it! I should have noticed that the unusual bag, which is the container used to make and store that liquor chocolate! ”
"If he asks this question at the beginning, Kurosawa, who is unsuspecting and just wants to clear up the relationship, will definitely directly say the type of coffee beans in the bag, just like he made at the beginning, trying to avoid the core problem!"
"Then as long as you point out the peculiarities of the sealed bag, and after hearing the results of the police investigation report, Kurosawa Koto, who doesn't know that his modus operandi has been discovered, will definitely tell the matter of the wine chocolate directly in order to ensure that the cause of Uchida's death is freezing to death that has nothing to do with him!"
In the end, I just took the opportunity to go to his house to check the raw materials for making wine chocolate...... Kurosawa Gin is completely impossible to refuse! ”
"Because Mayumi Uchida froze to death, it should have nothing to do with the sake chocolate he made, and he has no reason to refuse the police investigation!"
"Damn! I should have thought of it a long time ago! ”
"So...... It turned out to be me, it turned out to be me! It's the best time for me to sabotage the case with my own hands! ”
"Bang!!"
The young detective slammed his fist on the table in front of him, and tears of pain or remorse slipped from the corners of his eyes.
