Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 805 Are You Listening?
Mori Kogoro, who was talking excitedly, had to step off the stage. Although the surrounding guests still gave warm applause, the uncle still complained a little.

"Oh," Mrs. Urai said with a smile, "husband too, it's as if he's really dead..."

There was no smile on the uncle's face. After squatting next to Urai Taruto, he raised his wrist to check his watch according to the procedure and said, "Well, the estimated time of death is 19:54... If my detective intuition accumulated over the years is correct, the prisoner must... ..."

"President Urai is not acting..."

Gao Cheng interrupted the uncle suddenly, and checked Urai's pulse under Mrs. Urai's unexpected gaze.

"He has no heartbeat."

"Ah?" Before the uncle could react, he looked back at Urai Taruto whose lips were turning blue the next moment, and said in shock, "Really, really dead?!"

Mrs. Pujing's smile froze, and she said in a panic, "Hey, are you kidding me?"

"Cause of death, cyanide poisoning."

Gao Cheng turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Pujing indifferently.

Since there were no signs, it meant that there was a murderous intent before the banquet, absolute murder.

Mrs. Urai was the only person beside President Urai at the time of the incident besides Xiaolan, and the reaction after seeing President Urai collapsed was also very strange. Normally, even if you know it’s acting, you should cooperate with your husband. But just now, he not only took the initiative to say that it was a good performance, but also reminded the uncle to cooperate with him with a smile.

Gao Cheng silently looked at President Urai, who was staring at the ground with his eyes wide open. The state of his death was miserable. The sad thing is that he was treated as a joke. The last moment must have been quite desperate, although the onset of toxicity was so rapid that there was no time to think.

The fat president had only met him twice, so it was difficult to judge how he behaved, but he was not bad in front of him, kind and generous, at least there was no problem with receiving people and things, and he was very happy when he promised to help him prepare gifts. neatly.

Of course, businessmen must not treat it unilaterally, and the multi-faceted nature of people is destined to be not simple. It is worth investigating President Urai's style in the mall, in the company, and at home.

Generally speaking, ordinary murderers may be family members, colleagues, or competitors in various senses. Police investigations also start with social relations.

The most suspicious person at the scene is undoubtedly Mrs. Urai, who is next to President Urai's bed. Both the social relationship and the time of committing the crime are worthy of investigation.

The issue is……

Gao Cheng frowned slightly.

At the time of the incident, Uncle Mori was speaking on stage, and Mrs. Urai had been helping Xiaolan read her palm at that time. How did she move her hand?
……

"The person who died was Mr. Urai Taruto, 53 years old, the president of Urai Foods Company, who was also the host of this party, acute drug poisoning caused by cyanide..."

The Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department's First Search Section was still the one dispatching the police at the Kushito City Hotel. Megure rushed to the scene with Sato and Takagi, and seeing Takashiro and Mori Kogoro and his party next to him, he felt no wavering in his heart.

"When President Urai's accident happened, there were only Ran, Conan, Ai, and President Urai's wife, Ms. Hoshie Urai, who is also the vice president of Urai Foods, right?"

"Well," Hoshie Urai nodded, "Just when Mr. Mori was on stage to give a speech, my husband suddenly screamed loudly and fell down, never moving again..."

"At that time, the lady who was beside President Urai was you, right?"

"Yes... I'm reading Miss Xiaolan's palm?"

"Palmistry?"

"That's right," Xiaolan helped to testify, "Madam is holding mine in both hands, so..."

"That is to say, it is impossible for the victim to eat poisonous things with your hands," Mumu murmured and asked Xiaolan, "did my wife say anything to President Pujing at that time? For example, let him drink something." Or something to eat."

Xiaolan shook her head and said, "No, Madam just said that she read the palmistry of the president before he got up in the morning..."

Conan next to him looked at Mrs. Urai, who was silent and seemed very calm, and interjected, "But sister Xiaolan, didn't the lady say 'are you listening' at that time?"

"Are you listening?" Mu Mu looked puzzled.

"Yes," Xiaolan recalled, and quickly explained, "At first I thought it was about me, but it turned out to be about the president."

Mrs. Urai followed, "Because Mr. Mori rarely delivered a speech, he was actually in a daze..."

Conan's gaze deepened, and Police Officer Asamegure said: "But at that time, President Urai's answer was a bit strange. He didn't say that he was listening or not, but said 'well, probably...'"

"My husband must have been absent-minded, so he answered casually," Mrs. Urai looked at Conan from the corner of her eye, sighed helplessly, and closed her eyes, "Because there is an important matter to be announced after Mr. Mori's speech, which is Divorce me and split the company in two."

"divorce?"

"Yeah, the scale of Pujing Foods is already very large. I often have conflicts with my husband about the management policy. There is nothing I can do about it. Although he cried and begged me to reconsider, he said that even if the company is divided, we should not divorce. I can't live without it or something..."

Gao Cheng was not idle, and had already learned about the situation at the time of the crime through Xiao Ai, especially the state of the Pujing and his wife at that time. Unfortunately, Xiao Ai was not paying attention to the two of them at the time, and did not find anything unusual, but learned from Yuanzi. I learned a lot of gossip about the Pujing couple.

Including President Urai who likes to surprise the guests with performances at the party every year, and the past of the Urai couple.

The two are experts in the study of sour and sweet respectively, and President Urai is notoriously dislikes sour, and was bedridden because of eating sour cake.

In addition, both husband and wife have won prizes in food competitions, and Mrs. Urai was a student of President Urai when he was in the dim sum school.

Gao Cheng looked at Yuanzi strangely and asked, "Where did you know this?"

This is a born detective material.

Yuanzi blushed and raised his hand: "It's nothing, I heard people say it..."

Because many reporters who heard the news had already gathered outside the entrance of the venue, Mrs. Urai asked to go to the room dedicated to the staff at the back for a body search, out of reputation considerations, but when she left with Sato, she accidentally tripped over her feet, The glass of lemon drink placed on the long table hit the ground, and the sound of the glass breaking once again attracted the attention of the audience.

Gao Cheng followed the long table and looked at Mrs. Urai, who seemed to have sprained her feet and was supported by Sato. His eyes were slightly fixed, and he hurriedly grabbed the staff who wanted to clean up the first time.

Several cups were broken, the floor was covered with shards, and the drinks were spilled all over the floor. There were also cups on the table that were poured, and the drinks flowed down the tablecloth.

I couldn't see what Mrs. Urai did just now because of the tablecloth covering her, but she shouldn't be able to do much with Officer Sato by her side.

Gao Cheng squatted next to the debris, and even lifted the tablecloth to look at it. At this time, a guest suddenly hesitated and said to Mu Mu: "Well, officer... Actually, I saw that this gentleman had a quiet conversation with the president before. What to say, it was also very strange when the incident happened..."

"Ok?"

Gao Cheng stared blankly for a moment, and Gao Cheng, who was looking for clues, was also stunned.

"Isn't it?" The guest turned to a waiter next to him and said, "At that time, you were the one who took this gentleman to the back room. I remember that it happened to be when the lights were turned off, and you happened to pass by there before the president's accident... "

The waiter panicked, and quickly looked at Gao Cheng: "But he is..."

"You don't know that he is the famous detective Kido Kosei, right?" Mumu looked at the informant who hadn't figured out the situation and was speechless, then turned to Gao Cheng with downcast eyes and asked, "And then? It always happens to appear Brother Kido, who was at the scene of the crime, why did you follow me to the party?"

"President Urai invited me to come here," Gao Cheng scratched his hair, "but this time the protagonist is Uncle Mori, I just happened to come here, and I would like to ask President Urai for a little favor."

"Busy?"

"Ah, nothing, it has nothing to do with the case."

Gao Cheng hastily interrupted the waiter who wanted to explain, and returned to the topic: "The police department, the key to this case is how the poison was administered. In my opinion, the possibility of suicide is very low."

"Has suicide been ruled out?" Mu Mu looked confused, he thought suicide was the most likely possibility.
