Conan: The man who rejected the criminal department

"I" Mouri Kogoro was about to answer, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.

No, I just arrived at the scene and saw the body on the ground.

The eyewitnesses, investigation site, and witnesses at the scene have not been investigated yet. Is it a bit too abrupt to ask me who the murderer is now?
Mouri Kogoro gave Sotakuya a confused look. Could it be that he wanted me to guess based on the intuition of a famous detective?

There were a total of four people in the screenwriting conference room of "Detective Night", including the deceased.

Rule out suicide first.

Then the remaining three are Ryoko Inoue, the producer of "Detective Magure", who belongs to the production department of Nippon TV.

Akira Sakuma, one of the veteran screenwriters of "Detective Magure", is the screenwriter of the TV series "Magure" from the beginning to the present, just like the deceased Joe Yagami.

The last one is Toyo Koda, the new screenwriter of "Magure".

Although he is a newcomer to "Magure", he has been on the screenwriting team for two years.

In the past two years, Toyo Koda's scripts have also appeared on TV screens and have been widely praised.

Mouri Kogoro stared at the faces of the three people and looked at them carefully.

Well, I was invited by the producer Ryoko Inoue. This beautiful lady doesn't look like a murderer at first glance.

Then there is the new screenwriter Tomita Kaeda. This guy looks like a weakling at first glance, like a shy "0".

Mouri Kogoro immediately excluded him.

According to the elimination method, after all suspects who are suspected but not the murderer are eliminated, the remaining suspect must be the murderer.

"Ahem," Mouri Kogoro coughed twice and signaled to Sotakuya.

When Sotakuya looked at Mouri Kogoro, he noticed that Mouri Kogoro gave him a look.

'Is the murderer Mr. Mori thinks is Mr. Saku? '

Zong Takuya nodded imperceptibly: "Then the suspicion of Mr. Saku can be greatly reduced." '

It should be said that Kogoro Mouri in his normal state is worthy of being the guiding light at the crime scene. Even if the investigation has not yet started, this sleeping detective can accurately find the innocent people at the scene.

According to the on-site investigation, the deceased Yagami Joeji died of poison after drinking the coffee in the cup.

Before the forensic class came, it was tentatively determined that the source of the poison was the cup of coffee.

"So who made this cup of coffee?" Zong Takuya put on his white gloves, picked up the coffee on the table and looked at it.

There is no special mark on the coffee cup. The cup is the paper cup purchased by the Japanese television station.

The cup holders of the four paper cups are also the same, so there is no special method to make the deceased choose poisonous coffee.

"It's screenwriter Xiang Tian. Ever since screenwriter Xiang Tian joined the writing team, the work of preparing coffee has always been done by screenwriter Xiang Tian."

Ryoko Inoue replied.

So Takuya looked at the harmless young screenwriter: "When screenwriter Xiang Tian made the coffee, did he let anyone else handle it?"

"No, it's not a particularly complicated job in the first place. There's no need to trouble others." Tomita Koda answered very calmly.

There is one.
Zong Takuza thought for a moment and then thought of an accurate adjective - confident.

That's right, it's a feeling of being confident.

"Then who distributes these coffees?" Sotakuya didn't get hung up on Toyo Koda, and turned around to ask another question.

Veteran screenwriter Saku replied: "Xiang Tian handed the first cup of coffee to Miss Inoue, and then he remembered that Miss Inoue liked to put creamer in her coffee.

So I left the meeting room to get creamer and sugar.

Screenwriter Yagami’s coffee was handed to him by me.Forehead."

"I just grabbed a cup and pushed the rest of the coffee to screenwriter Yagami."

Saku felt that he needed to introduce it in detail, otherwise Hao Duanduan would be suspected of being a murderer.

But Saku suddenly noticed that the more he talked, the weirder the famous detective looked at him.
Ah this!

It seems that the suspicion is getting bigger and bigger!

'No, this Saku screenwriter definitely can't be the murderer.

He couldn't even be an accomplice of the murderer. '

Saku's words allowed Zong Takuya to rule out his suspicion. First of all, there was no work conflict between him and the deceased.

Over the years since "Magure" was broadcast, the two screenwriters, Saku and Yagami, have maintained a one-week script rotation.

Even if Xiangtian joins the writing team, the script will only be accepted once every few weeks or even one or two months.

According to Ryoko Inoue, Saku and Yagami have a very good relationship in private, and they often go to an izakaya to drink together after work.

There was no grudge or interest entanglement, so there was no reason for Saku to risk his life to kill Iori Yagami.

Yes, if Saku is really an accomplice of the murderer, he would have to risk his life if he wanted to kill Yagami Joji.

So Takuya was very confident in his observation skills. He didn't even find any differences on the paper cups.

Then these paper cups are really the same.

At least that's what it looks like to the naked eye.

If Saku is an accomplice of the murderer, it means that he needs to choose the non-poisonous cup of coffee between the two cups, and then hand the poisonous cup to Yagami.

Let alone an accomplice, even if his own father committed a crime, Saku might not be able to do this.

As for the producer Ryoko Inoue, Ryoko Inoue never left the conference room from beginning to end, and did not even touch the coffee.

His suspicion can basically be ruled out.

The biggest and most suspicious person at present is the screenwriter Tomi Kada who personally made the coffee and served it to him.

So this time the murder case is not a multiple-choice question, but a proof question?

Recalling the confident look in Tatsuo Koda's eyes just now, it seems that this "new screenwriter" of the "Magure" production team is very confident in his own methods.

So Takuya thought for a while and then took Inoue Ryoko aside: "Can you let me see the ratings report since writer Koda joined the writing team?"

"Of course." Inoue Ryoko nodded, then took out a stack of reports from her desk and handed them to Sotakuya.

"Detective Night" is a drama that fits the ratings curve of a standard long-running TV series.

It was very amazing when it first aired, and the ratings remained high.

However, as the broadcast time increased and the scripts of the two screenwriters gradually became routine, except for some die-hard fans, the rest of the audience basically chose other TV series.

Reflected in the report, the ratings curve is gradually declining.

Under normal circumstances, when the ratings of "Jiangure" drop to a certain level, Japan TV Station will consider cutting the TV series in half or hastening its ending.

Then top it with another TV series.

However, all this changed with the addition of Du Fu. (End of chapter)
