"Is the show good?"

It's a message from the number with "Gray Plains" remarked.

The words obviously refer to Xiaolan's performance.

However, the above is the result of Kaedehara's understanding, and there is actually a typo in it. Kaedehara thought carefully for a moment before determining that it was just a typo, not a strange code.

"It's better than expected," Kaedehara typed back as he squeezed through the crowd, "the wonderful second half has just begun." ”

"I thought it was over." After a while, the news came again.

If it hadn't been for the change, the show would have ended.

After thinking about it for a while, Kaedehara decided not to be a riddler, but simply explained the current situation.

Gray Yuan replied with a brief "um".

And so the conversation ended.

Kaedehara glanced at the brief conversation again, then put away his phone and squeezed back into the crowd.

Conan glanced at Kaedehara curiously.

He noticed that Feng Yuan squeezed into the crowd and came to Xiaolan's side, pulled Xiaolan down to attract Xiaolan's attention, whispered something to Xiaolan, and squeezed out of the crowd again and left his sight.

Are you looking for clues?

But there's no need to tell Xiaolan...

You can't just leave after seeing through the truth and feel that it's not interesting, and dump the work on yourself...

Conan muttered inwardly, then refocused on the case.

There were four people who had contact with the deceased's drink, and three of them were employees of Rice Flower General Hospital, namely Yumemi Noda, Maii Hirogami, and Yota Mitani.

Another person who has touched drinks is Ayako Ninagawa, a third-year student at Teidan High School and the daughter of the director of Rice Flower General Hospital.

However, Yumemi Noda and Yota Mitani only took the drink from Maii Hirogami alone, and they were in charge of distributing it alone, so they didn't have time to poison it.

Maii Hongsami, who was in charge of buying the drink, had the best chance of putting the poisonous ice cubes into the drink, but she ordered the same drink as the deceased, and if she poisoned it, she could not ensure that the poisonous cup would reach the deceased without being in charge of distributing it.

"Police Department! Mr. Kamata has unused creamer and saccharin! Officer Takagi checked the deceased's clothes and said.

"Unused creamer and saccharin?"

"Because his drink is not iced coffee, but cola." Ayako Ninagawa said, "Because I thought he was going to come to me for a change... By the way, I was asked why I had to break off the marriage at that time. ”

"Marriage, marriage contract?"

"I was going to get married as soon as I graduated, but I was so upset that I called him down." Ayako Ninagawa then explained, "When I went to the hospital, he avoided me..."

"That's right, no wonder my drink is also Coke," said Mai Hongshang, holding her glass, "I almost put saccharin and creamer in it!" ”

"I'm so sorry..."

"Ask the people in the identification class to take the four of their drinks, saccharin, and creamer for testing!" The Twilight Police Department commanded, "I'll talk about it after the test!" ”

"Yes!"

"Police, it's obvious now." Uncle Maori leaned over to the Twilight Police Department and whispered his reasoning, "This is suicide!" The deceased was dumped by a girl ten years younger than him, and the blow was so great that he wanted to commit suicide, but he happened to run into her, so he decided to commit suicide in front of her to vent his anger. ”

"That way, maybe she'll be suspicious." The Twilight Police Department thinks that the Maori brother has a point, even though he hasn't fallen asleep yet, "What a nasty murder..."

"That's right! Didn't Kamata feel around on the dashboard of the car? It seems that he heard the conversation between the Twilight Police Department and Uncle Maori, and said Hirogami Mai.

"Hmm... He said he was looking for a driver's license...", said Yota Mitani.

"We came here by Kamata!" Noda Yumemi also helped, "At that time, his expression was still weird..."

The deceased looked suspicious before, was still looking for something, and the motive for suicide was also...

As if the truth had surfaced, the Twilight Police Department hurriedly instructed Officer Takagi to go to the car with these people to see if he could find evidence of suicide.

Like a bottle with poison.

Conan didn't sneak along, but slipped aside and opened the curtains to look outside.

I don't know when it started, but it was drizzling, and Hongshang was wearing a dress with a hood, but he didn't pull his hat to shelter from the rain.

There is only one truth.

Hung deliberately ordered the same drink as the deceased to ease her suspicions, and in fact she added potassium cyanide ice cubes to both drinks.

The ice cubes were resealed with potassium cyanide, and as long as the melting time was controlled, only the deceased who liked to eat ice cubes would be poisoned, and she would not.

And she'd rather get in the rain than put on a hat...

The ice cube was probably hidden in her hat when she found an opportunity...

Conan thought so, then noticed a familiar figure.

Kaedehara didn't know where to get an umbrella, and he walked through the rain and disappeared from Conan's vision.

……

Dr. Asasa at home.

Gray Plains lay on the couch, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sound of the lock being opened, followed by the sound of the door being gently pushed open, came to her ears after a while, but it took her a moment to react, and she quickly got up in a panic, but she almost fell to the ground.

Then he was held up.

“… Did you drink? ”

Helping Gray Yuan back to the couch and seeing her sit down again, Kaedehara asked.

The gray plain mourning in front of him looked dizzy, his face was red, and his body also exuded the smell of wine. However, there was no glass or bottle of liquor on the table.

"You... How did you get back? ”

Instead of answering the question, Gray Plains asked in a daze.

As I said before, Kaede was supposed to come back after the high school school festival ended, and at least he would have watched the show with Uncle Mori and Conan.

"There were a bunch of typos in your message, and it took me a lot of effort to understand what you were talking about."

"It's not like you're usual, so I'll come back and have a look." Glancing at the mobile phone resting on the sofa that should have been pressed under by Gray Yuan's mourning, Kaedehara continued.

“……”

Kudo used his reasoning skills in such a boring place again.

Gray Yuan complained in his heart, but did not say it.

She sat like this, resting her head on the couch and began to count.

A Kudo...

Two Kudo...

"Nothing?"

“… Well. ”

"It only works if you have a cold," Kaedehara remembers that when he went out at noon, he was fine, and he didn't look like he had a cold, "I told you last time." ”

“… I just wanted to see the effect of white dry separately first. ”

"So... Are you testing a drug? Kaedehara asked.

Gray Yuan Ai slightly tilted his head to avoid his gaze, and then felt that this was not very comfortable, so he simply lay down on the sofa again.

"You've all gone back," Gray Yuan said softly, "Antibodies may be produced in the body, and the data on my side is more accurate." ”

She had waited until the alcohol had entered her bloodstream and had taken a sample from herself to prepare it as a control for the rest of the day, and then came up from the basement in a daze, intending to lie down in the open environment for a while.

Then she was dazed and sent a message to Kudo...

I didn't expect it to be noticed just because of that.

“… It's just a research need. Gray Yuan Wai added softly.

"So what's next? Catch yourself a cold and drink it again? ”

“… Haven't figured it out yet. Gray Plains replied.

In fact, she had already made a temporary antidote based on the ingredients extracted from white dry sake, but she hadn't decided whether to talk to Kudo and Edogawa yet, and she hadn't tested it.

And "cold medicine" she has also made, referring to the medicine that can make people cold.

She deliberately chose this afternoon, when neither Kudo nor Dr. Kudo was there to prepare for the test. The temporary antidote will take longer, and the white drying time is only a few minutes... This afternoon was just right.

It was meant to be like this.
