Chapter 634 Kudo Shinichi Quartet
"Police Department, a small amount of drugs suspected of potassium cyanide was found near the dashboard of Mr. Kamata's car." Takagi Wataru quickly approached holding a transparent evidence bag. Megure Thirteen said next to him, "It seems that Mr. Kamata may have really committed suicide."
"Well, the forensic department has confirmed that there are no traces of poison in the cups of the four of them." Mu Shisan also gave a conclusion.
Based on the current situation, the incredible speculation that the deceased committed suicide is actually the most likely answer.
There was no poison in the cup, which basically negates the possibility of poisoning by others. In addition, multiple witnesses proved that the deceased had actively come into contact with substances suspected of being drugs before getting off the car.
The poison came from the deceased's own hands, which cut off the idea of pointing to other suspects.
For example, maybe Urata Kohei didn't have a death wish, maybe he brought poison with the intention of killing Ninagawa Ayako who dumped him, but he just forgot that he had been exposed to highly toxic drugs before while eating... …
Participating in a high school festival with highly toxic substances, the suspicious person turned out to be the deceased himself.
"Based on these circumstances, there is currently no evidence to support that this case is a homicide." After thinking about it, Mu Mu Shisan nodded and said, "This case can be tentatively ruled as..."
"... A simpler murder case ”
The confident and determined voice stopped Mumu Shisan's initial judgment of the case.
Here we go again, here we go again.
Mumu Shisan turned his head and looked at the people walking from the stall silently.
"This is the fifth Brother Kudo, right?" Before the knight in black took off his helmet, Megure Thirteen, who had experienced this scene several times, learned to answer quickly.
“It’s four.” Kudo, who was standing aside, nodded seriously, “One was eliminated just now, and with him, there are still four.”
"Hey..." After adjusting his hat, Mumu Shisan put down the record in his hand, "What is your situation? Is there any prank show today."
It's prank, We must first solve the case in front of us. Is the murder scene a place where we can act casually?
Kudo Shinichi took off his helmet and shook his hair twice, which was weighed down by the overly solid helmet. He looked at the other three "Kudo" who all had smiles on their faces, which could be called hippie smiles. Shinichi", rolling his eyelids.
“Look.” Kudo in the hood came close to Kudo’s ear in the bucket hat and whispered, “I just said it, and he would roll his eyes.”
Stand now Opposite the genuine Kudou Shinichi, of course, are three of the four disguisers in Kudo Shinichi's personal network, Karasawa, Bellmod and Kidd.
——Of course, Kuroba Kaito didn't change his appearance, he just styled his hair according to Kudo Shinichi's photo.
"I probably understand what happened, it's just some minor problems." Kudo Shinichi, who knew very well what his good friends were like now, patted his head helplessly, "Solve the case first. No matter which one of us is Kudo Shinichi, first of all, we are definitely not among the suspects. We are third parties unrelated to the case and can give our own opinions as detectives, right?"
He? While speaking, the corner of his eyes involuntarily turned towards Mao Lilan.
Of the several "Kudo Shinichi" currently appearing, he was certain that one was definitely a joker and the other was Kuroba Kaito.
For the former, in order to ask the other party to help Haiyuan Ai disguise herself, he had to inform the other party of his plan to take a temporary antidote.
With this Phantom Thief of Heart's style of doing things based on his preferences, he would definitely get involved if he knew this kind of news.
As for the latter, considering that the person who might inform Kuroba Kaito was Karasawa, he could guess who did the good deed without even thinking about it.
As for Tang Ze's character, he felt that he had now figured out the way.
After knowing his plan and making sure that with Haibara's help, there would be no problems with his original plan, calling Kuroba Kaito to play a prank was of course harmless entertainment.
The more harmless entertainment, the better.
Hattori Heiji and the "Kudo Shinichi" who suddenly came up over there. He could understand Hattori's thoughts and could only say that he was very grateful and couldn't laugh or cry.
After calculating this, there is a little problem.
——Who is the extra "Kudo Shinichi"?
It would be okay if the other party is in similar situation to Kuroba, but what if the other party uses his identity unscrupulously because he knows that the real Kudo Shinichi is impossible to appear...
His situation was so special that there was no room for him to be careless.
Considering this situation, Kudo Shinichi did not choose to clarify his identity now, but prepared to observe for a while and make a decision before taking action.
Mao Lilan looked at the large number of Kudo Shinichi in front of him for a while, then turned his head, looked at Conan who was being dragged by Hattori Heiji to talk for a while, nodded his chin and started thinking.
Noticing her movements, Kudo Shinichi swallowed, instinctively feeling a little nervous, and quickly turned his head to return his attention to the case.
"There was no poison in the drink cup, but poison was found in the deceased's vehicle. At first glance, it is indeed easy to conclude that Mr. Kamata seemed to have committed suicide." The knight in black turned his head and looked at Officer Mumu explained, "But I think this case is an obvious murder."
"Well, given the current circumstances of the case, it is indeed unnatural to think that he committed suicide, but there is currently no other evidence to support murder. No poison was found in the cups of the deceased Mr. Kamata and the other three people. The entire drink was not reopened from the stall to the time it was consumed by the deceased, and Ayako Ninagawa was the most likely tamper. "Students, there is no way to predict which drink two people who bought the same drink will get." Mumu Shisan briefly reviewed the current situation and reconfirmed the current conclusion.
"No poison has been found. It can only prove that the poison does not exist in the drink." Kudo shook his finger, with a confident and leisurely look on his face that he knew everything. "There is no way to prove that the deceased was not killed. Poisoned."
"Did the deceased eat anything else besides drinks?" Mumu Shisan frowned, "None of the witnesses mentioned this."
"He only drank a drink, but there was more than just a drink in the drink cup." Hooded Kudo put his hands in his coat pockets, leaned on the table of the stall behind him, raised his hand and patted the stall. Machine, "Syrup, creamer, ice cubes, sugar... In order to meet the needs of different customers, the drinks in this stall will not leave the hands of the seller and will never be opened again."
< br>"...Exactly." After observing the three people for a while, Kudo Shinichi realized that he was not the only one who had confirmed the truth. Kudo Shinichi frowned and quickly took over, "Ice cube, I think the murderer took advantage of Ice cubes completed the murder of the deceased."
"Yes, for other materials, such as creamer or syrup, because it is impossible to know in advance what method the students will choose to sell, it is difficult for the murderer to know in advance. Prepared. If there are different packaging from the ingredients used on site, the murderer is likely to be exposed quickly." Kudo, the fisherman hat, picked up an opened plastic box of creamer in front of the stall and shook it twice. "What's more, What the deceased drank in the end was not coffee. "This confirms that the murderer was not Miss Ninagawa Ayako who made the drink. As her testimony said, she changed the drink of the deceased privately in order to make him find her. "Change it back." Hooded Kudo added, "The possibility of her tampering with the drink is the lowest."
Kudo Shinichi, who was constantly being supplemented with explanations, looked around at the expressions of the surrounding audience and took a deep breath.
"...Potassium cyanide is not easily soluble in low-temperature water, so you only need to punch a hole in the ice in advance, put the poison in, refill the hole with water and freeze it, and put it into the deceased's cup , it will take some time for the poison to flow out. Therefore, Mr. Kamata did not die immediately after drinking it, but almost drank the entire drink," Kudo Shinichi continued.
The arguments they used have different directions of thought, but they corroborate each other, and it sounds like they all lead to the same answer.
The crowd of onlookers looked left and right, with the same expressions of amazement.
They are no longer thinking about who is the real detective, and have gradually transitioned into the state of "really exciting, more exciting".
Looking at this group of Kudo Shinichi talking fluently with each other, they were simply dazzled. It was as if they were watching a scene rehearsed in Kudo Shinichi’s mind, full of a sense of situation.
"Well, you, uh, what you said makes sense, Brother Kudo. But there was no melted poison found in Mr. Kamata's cup." Megure Thirteen pursed his lips and paused temporarily. After a while, several Kudos answered the call very easily.
"It's very simple. The lid of the cup found at the scene was open, right?" Kudo, the peaked hat, picked up a set of unopened disposable drink cups on the stall, "Do you know why this is? "
"Isn't it dropped to the ground and smashed open? Moreover, the deceased's death was very painful. He held the cup tightly, causing the paper cup to deform, so it was normal to squeeze the plastic lid open." Mouri Kogoro also retorted. One sentence.
"Impossible, if it was for this reason, the paper cup would not be so intact. I just checked the evidence, and except for the lid and straw falling out, the entire cup was not damaged at all." Kudo, a fisherman hat, denied this possibility.
"So, there is only one reason to open the lid of the cup after finishing the drink."
Slowly and leisurely, he took out a ten-yuan coin from his pocket and tossed it. After a moment, the hooded Kudo flicked the coin forward, and accurately bounced it onto the helmet held by Kudo Shinichi in his arms.
Reflexively raising his hand to grab the coin he really needed, Kudo Shinichi observed this guy strangely for a while.
Does he mean to continue speaking on his own?
Got it, it seems that this Kudo Shinichi is a joker.
Confirming the identity of the next person first, Kudo Shinichi did not refuse the coin that fell into his hand: "So, Mr. Kamata did not drink the poison. He ate it."< br>
"Oh, that's it! Some people will take out the remaining ice cubes in the glass after drinking the drink and eat it." Takagi Wataru suddenly realized.
Looking at the coin that was taken over, Kudo the peaked hat glanced at Kudo the hood.
No further explanation is needed, this is Tangze.
Among all the "Kudo Shinichi", the only one who really got through with Kudo Shinichi in advance and took care of his own feelings to some extent was Karasawa.
He wouldn’t do that anyway, Kudo is so handsome, then who is the real one will be discovered immediately?
Twisting the brim of his hat, he pointed decisively at Hongshang Wuyi, who was standing aside with a slightly uneasy expression.
"So, you are the only one who has the possibility of poisoning Kohei Urata, Miss Kogami!"
"What, Mai, why did you..." Others who were traveling with us He looked at Hongshang Wuyi's side face in surprise.
"You were responsible for purchasing the drink, because you thought the deceased purchased coffee. You could stand at the table naturally, open the lid of the cup, add syrup, etc... So the only person who would make such a design is you. ." Kudo in the bucket hat smiled, raised his hand and patted Kudo in the hood on the shoulder.
After designing it for a long time, I was finally willing to be an assistant and handed over the most eye-catching part to coolguy himself...
Some people seemed to be soft-hearted faster than her.
It’s not that he is soft-hearted at all, but he has the answer to the puzzle from the beginning, so Tangze, who doesn’t want to follow the script, squinted at her hand on his shoulder: “…It’s a pity that you didn’t open it until you opened it. It was discovered that the person at the booth actually gave him an iced Coke by mistake.”
“So, she used the excuse of going to the bathroom in a hurry and waited until the performance was about to start before giving the drink to Mr. Yota Mitani. , This is to prevent the deceased from having enough time to change the drink." After moving his fingers a few times, Kudo Shinichi took out the wallet he found, "I found this wallet in the trash can in the bathroom."
"It is made of plastic and will not seep water. Put some ice cubes and some refrigeration items such as dry ice. It will be very simple to carry it to the venue." Kudo pointed at the small pink wallet. "It has a very discreet shape and will not arouse suspicion when carried."
Under the gaze of Kudou Shinichi*4, the murderer Mai Kogami was obviously a little panicked.
The three fake Kudos playing the role of Shinichi Kudo are all disguisers with excellent acting skills. Except for themselves, who know some details about each other, almost no one else realizes who is the real Shinichi Kudo.
This made the four of them use the kind of confident tone that Kudo Shinichi usually used when reasoning, which was not aggressive, but was extremely sure.
Kudo Shinichi’s words like this have already put a lot of pressure on the murderer.
The four Kudo Shinichis all said the same lines to each other, pressing step by step to cover up all the possible details...
I had the opportunity to enjoy the Kudo Shinichi that no murderer could experience. The quartet sang, and Hongshang Wuyi, who was already covered in sweat on her neck, gritted her teeth.
...She did make a big mistake and crossed that red line. Now she is a hopeless murderer.
But is a poisoning and murder case based on personal grudges really like this? !
"...You are right, but have you forgotten that Kamata and I both ordered coffee, and both of them were replaced with cola." Mai Hongshang inhaled hard and tried her best He retorted, "I also drank up my own drink. How do you explain this, detective?"
