Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 406 Chapter 405, Is it painful to be extremely happy?

Mao Lilan's voice stopped abruptly, and Conan next to Sano was flustered, waving his hands and feet, and under the hint of fluttering facial features, he shed a drop of cold sweat.

"cough."

After coughing, Mao Lilan said with unusually firm eyes: "I think it's very convenient to take a taxi. It's just a matter of having fun when you go out to play. How can you care about such a small expense? Why don't you just take a taxi, senior!"

Facing Sano's dead fish eyes, Mao Lilan gradually couldn't hold back the seriousness on his face, and laughed dryly.

"Then why not, I asked my dad to drive us there, and he waited in the car for us to finish eating before sending us back."

In desperation, Mao Lilan made a powerful speech.

It made Conan next to me confused for a while... What the hell, my daughter won the hospitality ticket, and it's fine if she doesn't use it for herself, but she still has to drive to deliver it, and what's more, she has to wait in the car after delivering it , so you can pick it up.

Just substituting it gives me a heart attack.

Conan shivered unconsciously.

When did my sister Xiaolan become such a devil?

Probably also felt that what she said seemed a bit too much, Mao Lilan blinked and said: "Or you can let my father eat together, pay for one person, and eat for five people, it is still a good deal."

"Let's forget it, I'll give your father this roll, let him be with this little girl, and I'll just pay for my own."

In the end, it was Sano who took the initiative to suffer the loss... well, the one who should have been prostituted for nothing did not get prostituted.

That is a loss.

And the reason why Sano chose to suffer this loss was mainly because he was kind-hearted and didn't want to embarrass Mao Lilan, and his skin was relatively thin... Well, the above is pure fart, in fact, he just felt that Mori Kogoro could not agree.

Mori Kogoro disagreed, and Sano had to take a taxi.

But the "meal expenses" this time are all paid by Mao Lilan, and it will be Sano's turn to pay for the fare no matter what.

That thing is much more than the money for meals.

Not to mention that Sano himself has a small stomach, and those things are not very attractive. It doesn't cost much to eat, and no matter how bad it is, he can ask the organization to reimburse him.

Only car money is not enough.

why?
Because the clone is already taking a taxi.

A newspaper?

The taxi money for your family in downtown Tokyo can run out of Tokyo.

To sum up, letting Kogoro Mori go whoring is the most correct choice.

Hearing Sano's words, Conan immediately widened his eyes, as if he saw a ghost.

On the contrary, Mao Lilan didn't have any special reaction, but after "persuading" a word to no avail, she ran upstairs to call the tool man.

In Mao Lilan's view, although Sano loves to take advantage of small things, it is more out of a joking mentality, if it is really in a situation where friends feel embarrassed.

This is still a very understanding, good senior who can take care of others.

Soon, Mori Kogoro was taken downstairs by Mao Lilan.

Seeing the guy's grinning face, Mao Lilan probably didn't tell him that his roll was actually "let" out by Sano, and it belonged to picking up trash.

That’s right, it’s all about taking papers anyway.

Why do you have to say things so clearly?

This girl Mao Lilan has also learned to be smart.

Just like that, a group of people squeezed into Kogoro Mouri's car and drove all the way.

What shocked Sano then was that Mao Lilan actually read and studied in the car.

Is this the so-called child of someone else's family?
Fortunately, after Conan asked, Mao Lilan explained that it was because there was a history test tomorrow...tomorrow, a history test?
Why don't you know?

After the astonishment passed, Sano didn't think much about it, for him there was no such thing as cramming.

Because hugging is useless.

As usual, start the cat agent plan to find the answer.

Under Sano's bad attitude, they finally arrived at their destination.

A Chinese restaurant.

Only this time the problem came.

The waiter in charge of the reception told Mao Lilan that the two reception vouchers could not be used.

It made Mori Kogoro, who was still showing his big teeth, immediately couldn't laugh.

"What do you mean by this? What is meant by being unusable? Please explain it clearly to me!"

"I'm sorry, sir, this really doesn't work..."

Looking at the angry Mori Kogoro over there, and the embarrassing waiter who didn't say why he couldn't use it.

Sano didn't feel that the restaurant was trying to play hooligans.

Could it be that the coupon has expired?
It shouldn't be. Didn't Mao Lilan say that the expired prizes were drawn today, which unscrupulous merchants will use them for activities, and they are not afraid of smashing the signboard?
Where is the problem.

Sano took out the invitation roll from Mao Lilan's pocket, and took a closer look.

Only then did I see the problem.

At the bottom of the hospitality roll, there is a line of very small words - only used on Sundays and holidays, isn't it a rogue.

Although it's no different from playing a rogue.

Sano had seen such routines quite a bit, he just wanted to lure the guests over first.

If you are afraid of trouble at that time, the free meal will naturally become paid.

A countermeasure quickly emerged in Sano's mind...Of course he would never accept this loss.

Take advantage of the famous detective Mori Kogoro and Kazuhime Eri's name as the undefeated queen.

But before Sano could speak, a big hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Several guests, please don't make a scene here, go out and talk about something."

Sano: "?"

After turning his head slightly, what Sano saw was a restaurant waiter who was taller than him, with the words "vicious and vicious" written all over his face.

what.

I want to reason with you.

In the end, you want to play hard with me?
And what the hell Sano didn't say anything, the one who yelled was obviously Kogoro Mori.

What does grabbing your own shoulder mean.

Feel like you look bully, a soft persimmon?
Sano quickly abandoned the previous countermeasure, and another countermeasure emerged instead.

What's more, before Sano could make a move, a black shadow passed by his face.

Mao Lilan's high kick, like an axe, stopped in front of the tall waiter at a distance of only a few centimeters with the sound of breaking through the air.

"You'd better not think about fighting with us."

Looking at Mao Lilan who was full of anger, the waiter unconsciously shed a drop of cold sweat, and finally told the real reason why the voucher could not be used in a trembling voice.

After checking this, Mao Lilan and the others were also a little speechless.

Especially Mori Kogoro, who kept burying grievances in his mouth, only Mao Lilan turned his eyes to Sano first, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "...Senior, I think you can already take the hammer back .”

Ok?
The two waiters subconsciously looked at Sano.

Sano calmly stuffed the Hammer of Justice back into his sleeve.

The waiter who was almost kicked by Mao Lilan was sweating again.

Who are these people...

"Then, do you still plan to dine here?"

Another waiter asked cautiously.

Kogoro Mori and the others were naturally silent for a while... Originally, the conflict disappeared and the wind direction changed, but Sano still wanted to continue using the previous countermeasures.

But looking at the reactions of Mao Li's father and daughter, it seems that they don't want to "mess up".

Naturally, Sano couldn't pull the tiger's skin.

Let Mao Lilan's family of three go back first, and pay for a little girl's meal by himself?
Then the taxi fare is a bit expensive, but Mao Lilan's family looks reluctant to spend money, they can't take a ride, and they can't take the five people's meal money.

Just when Sano was thinking about whether to spend this unjustified money, a fat man with a round belly, very similar to a small brown ball, suddenly jumped out.

He said he was going to invite Sano and the others to dinner.

Although I feel unclear about this person's invitation, but.

The free meal is back again, Sano must have no reason to refuse it.

So a group of people followed the fat man and sat on the table.

Besides the fat man, there were three other people present.

Sano glanced at it, keenly smelled the smell of the case, and immediately greeted the waiter, bringing him the menu to order.

Of course, Sano didn't forget to let the little girl eat the dishes on the table first.

The four fat men had already ordered a lot of dishes before, and many of the dishes had already been served, logically speaking, without the other party opening their mouths.

Sano's doing so was a little impolite.

But I always feel that if I don't eat it again, I may not be able to wait for the next dishes.

Sano couldn't care less.

Dry rice is important, dry rice is important.

And when Sano was busy serving food for the little girl, the fat man chatted with Mao Lilan enthusiastically, and at the same time revealed his true purpose.

This guy wants to ask Mao Lilan to play the heroine.

Well, the heroine of the movie, the reason is that the original heroine had an accident and could not act again, and Mao Lilan was beautiful and still had time.

It meets the requirements of the heroine of this movie.

The fat man talked about the benefits of being a star, which made Mouri Kogoro and Conan, who were not interested in it, light up their eyes.

Instead, he started to help booing and asked Mao Lilan to act.

It wasn't until the other guy sneered and mocked, saying that the fat man tampered with the script at will to make money and added intimate scenes to the actress, which made the enthusiasm of the duo cool down in an instant, and they resolutely opposed it.

Then a man with a more prominent appearance...a bearded face also sneered.

It is said that if you can't even accept the intimate scene, it's better not to enter this circle.

This sentence is of course justified.

But Sano always felt that there was a strong sense of disdain and arrogance in this guy's words.

This Sano must be upset.

But before Sano helped Mao Lilan fight back, the guy added another sentence.

"Otherwise, if it is not done well, maybe even life will be lost."

... The feeling of irony suddenly turned into a kind reminder.

Under the words that seemed to have something to say, Sano smelled a stronger flavor of the case.

Sano simply stood up, picked up a plate and put it in front of the little girl.

"Eat quickly, don't care if you taste the taste, let's talk about it first."

Under Sano's soft urging, the hard-working little girl raised her head in doubt, a question mark appeared on her bulging bun-like face, and she replied inarticulately.

"Occasionally I see a wide forehead."

Sano blinked, and after roughly analyzing what the little girl was talking about, he explained: "If you don't eat, you may not be able to eat later, you can figure it out."

The little girl was stunned, unable to understand Sano's logic, but this did not hinder her trust in him.

The speed of hard work accelerated again.

After a few words, Mao Lilan accidentally knocked over the teacup and wet the fat man's pants.

The waiter quickly brought a towel to wipe it.

Then the two changed positions, and the fat man continued his recruitment plan.

Then the fat man yelled again, as if someone had ordered an egg he was allergic to, but he quickly regained his composure after the yelling.

Keep recruiting.

During the period, Conan inserted between the two, shouting that he wanted to eat curry rice and wanted to leave the restaurant.

The purpose, huh, of course I don't want Mao Lilan to participate in the intimate scene in the future.

While cooking, Sano paid attention to everyone.

After all, it is very likely that there will be cases later.

Pay more attention to a few details, you can never go wrong.

After that, Mao Lilan picked up the food for Conan like coaxing a child.

Conan turned the turntable on the table to get the seasoning, but every time he just turned it around, someone turned it back again, which made Sano couldn't help laughing.

And then again, the topic came to Mao Lilan's favorite star.

Mao Lilan proposed two people, one of whom seemed to be Conan's mother.

But on this topic, the only one of the other three men who hadn't said anything before said sadly, "If that girl hadn't died, she might have become such a legendary figure by now." .

...Related to the previous "reminder", does this begin to pave the way for motivation?

Sano frowned, Mao Lilan was about to ask the man what he meant by this, but the fat man changed the subject by relying on the BJ roast duck that happened to be delivered.

Watching the fat man tear off a piece of roast duck and put it in his mouth.

Sano also reached out and pulled down a duck leg and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl's mouth was bulging, and there was already a little pain in her eyes when facing the duck's legs.

It turns out that the ultimate happiness will also be painful...

After accepting the duck leg as if it were death, the little girl stuffed it into her mouth as hard as she could, and when she pulled hard, only a bare bone remained in her hand.

"what--!!"

But at this moment, the fat man stood up suddenly, his facial features grabbed his throat ferociously, and let out a scream, which shocked everyone present.

……poison?

Sano was stunned for a moment, picked up the little girl with lightning speed, and forced her to spit out all the things in her mouth with a violent shake.

At the same moment, the fat man fell to the ground and couldn't afford to die.

Only then did Sano let go of the dizzy, nauseated little girl.

"Call the police."

Mao Lilan was called back to God by Sano, she calmed down a little, and skillfully took out her mobile phone.

...After a while, the police team arrived, but this time it was finally not Officer Megure.

It was a team led by a guy Sano had never seen before.

After listening for a while, Sano understood the situation.

The fat man is Shiro Kawabata, 46 years old, and a film producer.

The cause of death was asphyxiation caused by potassium cyanate.

And after inspection, potassium cyanate remained on the deceased's hands and towels, but the dishes on the table, including the BJ roast duck, were not detected.

"What's going on recently, all kinds of poisons are coming out?"

The inch-cut policeman who led the team murmured.

Sano, on the other hand, turned his gaze to the little girl who was sitting beside him with a sluggish expression, and raised his hand to touch the other person's head: "Why, was it the first time you saw a dead body, did you get frightened? Didn't you say you wanted to be a detective before?" ."

The little girl blinked. To be honest, she was not frightened by the corpse.

It was simply because of eating too much, and Sano's trembling after the meal.

I just feel sick to my stomach.

But it's not good to say that.

So the little girl chose to remain silent.

"In this case, the murderer should be the poison on the towel. In other words, only you who were sitting at the same table with the deceased were suspected."

The policeman looked at Sano: "Then please explain first, the relationship between you and the deceased, as well as the situation at the time of the crime."

People on both sides made their own explanations.

Come with the dead, three men who belong to a crew are a group.

Sano's three adults and two children are another group.

When he learned that the deceased showed strange behavior, Kogoro Mori and Conan were sitting next to him.

The inch-headed policeman immediately cast suspicious glances at Kogoro Mori.

"Why do I think you look familiar?"

"Ah, ha, have you already been recognized? That's right, I am..."

Before Mori Kogoro could introduce himself, the police officer clapped his hands: "Could it be a fugitive wanted criminal, have you seen it on the wanted warrant?"

Maori Kogoro:"……"

"What wanted criminal? I'm Detective Mori Kogoro, okay!?"

"Oh...so it was that one, the sleepy Mori Kogoro."

"It's sleeping, sleeping Mori Kogoro!!"

... These two guys, let's talk about cross talk between them?
After Sano smacked his lips, he asked the little girl to sit obediently and not act rashly, and then began to investigate the scene by himself. The task of solving the case... To be precise, it was the task of truth, which was triggered before the police arrived.

This is already an old task, let’s go through the process first.

It's not the first time Sano has come across a case of killing people by poisoning. For example... What poisoning cases have you encountered before?

Tsk, Conan, the god of plague, has harmed too many people, and I can't remember clearly.

Sano scratched his head, and finally remembered two or three incidents.

Matsumoto Sayuri's wedding, Osaka Kuropi's first visit to Tokyo, and another one.

Didan High School Fair.

The point is nothing more than where and how the murderer put the poison.

Since the poison was detected on the hands of the deceased, it must not be the same as the case in the middle, and there is a high probability that the poison cannot be directly imported.

There was poison on the towel, which was probably the poison that the murderer put on it. Then the deceased touched the towel, got the poison on his hands, and then touched the roast duck, and died after entering it.

... This is how a normal person should think in this situation.
