Corpse collector in Conan

Jiang Xia heard the noise and came over and looked at the lobby manager: "You actually know that Miss Toriyama is allergic to grapes. Are you familiar with her?"

The lobby manager nodded: "We are classmates in elementary school and often played together when we were young... Anyway, she really didn't mean not to drink that glass of wine!"

Conan touched his chin beside him and suddenly remembered something. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the COM website directly with your browser to watch the fastest chapter updates)

He ran to the cabinet in the corner, dug out a gift box, and ran over with it in his arms: "Brother Jiang Xia, this is what you asked me to find just now!"

Jiang Xia: "...Yeah."

Miwako Sato looked over curiously: "What is this?...A wedding dress?"

The vice-president of the Bodhisattva Society was startled and quickly recognized the box with a look of disgust: "Isn't this the 'shroud' from before? Why did you ask him to use this?"

Jiang Xia: "..." I don't know why I asked him to use this. Maybe the tool man has his own ideas...

Jiang Xia thought for a while and glanced at Naoko Tormaru: "This 'shroud' suddenly appeared at the banquet, maybe it has other meanings."

Conan handed the box over: "Sister Naoko, please put it on and try it on."

Before Naoko Tormaru said anything, the lobby manager became anxious: "How can you wear a shroud on someone!... Wait, isn't this a wedding dress? Why do you call it a shroud?"

Torimaru Naoko came over and took the clothes hesitantly: "Maybe it's because of the legend of 'burial silver coins'. I understand, I'll try it on."

Naoko Tormaru held her wedding dress and went to the side room. Miwako Sato also followed.

After a while, the two people changed their clothes and came out.

Naoko Tormaru, who looked like a social animal, wore a pure white wedding dress and instantly became much more dazzling. Her figure and temperament were not inferior to those of the models who had rehearsed on the show.

There were many experts present, and they could see the situation after taking a closer look: "It fits perfectly. The shoulder width, bust, waist, and the lines of the sleeves and skirt, every size exactly corresponds to hers." Tailor-made for your figure! This person is very good at making wedding dresses."

Although the Mumu Police Department cannot understand wedding dresses, they are very good at collecting opinions from brothers from all walks of life. After listening to Jiang Xia's explanation about the "funeral silver coins", he suddenly realized:

"It seems that this is the murder notice sent by the murderer? The murderer originally wanted to kill Miss Toriyama, but because he didn't know that she was allergic to grapes and President Rokujo was too attentive, he killed the wrong person? "

Inozuka Jiro snorted: "How dare you kill the subordinates I care about? The murderer is really tired of living."

After blurting out the words, he suddenly remembered that there was a circle of policemen around him. Inozuka Jiro silently rolled up his sleeves, revealing the big gold watch on his wrist, pretending that this was just the cruel words and indiscriminate words of a local boss, rather than a cement-filled silence. precursor.

As expected, the policemen didn't raise any suspicion.

The Memu Police Department recalled the location of this hotel: "This place is very remote, and there are not many roads that can be driven by car - let the police check immediately! The murderer who poisoned the hotel may be on the way to escape."

Jiang Xia looked at a fish tank in the banquet hall: "Not necessarily, the murderer may still be in this hotel and is hanging out in the lobby at this time."

The Mumu Police Department was startled, waved his hand, and decisively changed his words: "Then seal the banquet hall first and prohibit guests from leaving without permission! Take the guests to the living room and check for suspicious items on them."

Then he remembered something and asked softly: "Why?"

When the guests followed the police in a noisy manner, Jiang Xia pointed at the fish tank.

Miwako Sato walked over and took a look, wondering: "The water is quite clear and the water filters are on. It looks like they should be in use, but why are there no fish?"

"There are no fish? Impossible. We obviously got a lot of precious ornamental fish in it." The lobby manager approached suspiciously, looked in from the top of the fish tank, and was shocked, "The fish are all on the water! They are all turned upside down. Now?...My tropical fish!"

"Your fish may have been poisoned to death by the same poison as President Rokujo." Jiang Xia patted his shoulder sympathetically, "The murderer probably used some kind of water-soluble container to contain the toxin, such as a capsule shell.

"After poisoning the red wine, the capsule shell containing the poison was thrown into the fish tank, destroying the evidence. Even if only a trace amount of toxin remains after the capsule shell is dissolved in water, it is enough to poison these delicate fish.

"Throwing the evidence into the fish tank instead of taking it with you or throwing it outside, which is more difficult to search, indicates that the murderer should be a participant in the banquet. His leaving the hall without permission would arouse suspicion, so he could only risk handling the evidence at the scene."

Several senior executives from Botuo Company and Liutiao Company did not leave with the other guests just now. Takamori Masumi also stayed among Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

Originally, Takamori Masumi wanted to monitor the progress of solving the case so that he could feel at ease. Unexpectedly, the more he watched, the worse it became—Jiang Xia felt as if he was standing on the scene and saw her poisoning and handling the capsule shell.

Takamori Masumi: "..." Did you really see it? If he was a witness against himself...

No, no, no, calm down! Jiang Xia was just too good at reasoning, so he figured out the murder process so quickly, not what he saw... Wait, this doesn't seem to be much better than the previous hypothesis.

Takamori Masumi took a silent breath and touched her thin white wrist. For a moment, she wanted to chop off this hand: "..." When I met Jiang Xia by chance when I was buying suitcases, why did I give tickets to Suzuki Sonoko and the others? Wouldn't it be better to do nothing? If she had not handed over the ticket at that time, the two classmates would not have come here with the terrible detective. If the terrible detective had not come, she would not be as frightened as she is now...

"That's right." Jiang Xia suddenly said.

Masumi Takamori was frightened: "What?!"

After speaking, she raised her head and realized that Jiang Xia was not looking at her, but at Naoko Tormaru.

...Fortunately, Tormaru Naoko was right next to her. It was hard to tell who Eka was asking, and her reaction was not too unreasonable. But that scream still made a few people look at her suspiciously.

Perhaps because of her young age, those people were not too suspicious, and their eyes quickly fell on Jiang Xia again, wanting to hear what he wanted to ask.

Jiang Xia: "Does anyone in your company know that you are allergic to grapes?"

Naoko Tormaru shook her head: "I am usually very busy. I don't eat fruits and snacks at the company, and I rarely go out for shopping and dinner with everyone. No one should know this."

After saying that, she moved uncomfortably: "Can I take off this 'shroud' first? It feels very unlucky."

The Memu Police Department nodded and didn't pay much attention to this matter. At this time, he was worrying about how to find the murderer.
