My neighbor's name is Conan

After Aoki Matsu's repeated warnings and the extremely real situation, Mao Lilan really listened.

She really liked the high-spirited look on Kudo Shinichi's face when he deduced the result, so Mao Lilan didn't think there was anything wrong with some of Kudo Shinichi's previous reckless behaviors. Instead, she thought that it was a symbol of bravery and a valuable spirit.

But the appearance of Aoki Matsu told Mao Li Ran that if it was just for the sake of solving the case, she didn't have to be so brave, she could be more cautious, and after discovering something, she could call for help instead of rushing forward alone.

Seeing Conan's indifferent expression and his thought that Aoki Matsu was meddling in other people's business, Mao Lilan suddenly felt a little tired - Shinichi has now changed from "Kudo Shinichi" to "Edogawa Conan", but he still doesn't care about her safety.

Ran Mao Li seemed to have seen the scene in the future where "Shinichi died young and she cried while holding Shinichi's body."

In order to prevent such scenes from happening in the future, Ran Mouri's eyes darkened and she decided to teach Conan a lesson.

"Dad, let's call Conan's parents." Mao Lilan said coldly: "Looking at the current situation, we really can't teach Conan. It's better not to delay Conan and let his parents take him back to teach him."

what……

When Conan heard what Mao Lilan said, his face changed instantly and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Aoki Matsu looked at the cold-faced Maori Ran with some surprise. If Conan in the cartoon is "lawless", it is partly because Conan's personality is like that, partly because the police are too rubbish, but also partly because Maori and his daughter spoiled him.

"Sister Xiaolan, I was wrong. I won't do it again." Conan quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Actually, I was scared because I was being chased by someone. I subconsciously hid when I saw someone. I didn't come to my senses. If it was the police, I could shout for help."

"Really?" Ran Mouri bent down and looked at Conan with her eyes wide open.

Conan nodded quickly, "Really, it's true, Xiaolan, you have to believe me!"

"I think Conan was very clear-headed at the time. When I asked him, he even urged me to catch the criminal." Aoki Matsu said deliberately.

After hearing this, Conan turned around and gave Aoki Matsu a "vicious" look, then made a pitiful expression and said to Mao Lilan: "Sister Xiaolan, I was really scared at the time, and the only thing in my mind was hiding from bad guys. I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it."

Mao Lilan stared at Conan for a long time, until Conan felt uncomfortable, then she straightened up and said, "I don't believe it!"

Ah!

Conan was stunned and said quickly: "Sister Xiaolan is serious, I really didn't mean it. Please, don't let my parents take me away, please."

Mao Lilan had already made up her mind, so she ignored Conan and walked straight out the door, saying as she walked: "Dad, call Ms. Edogawa when you get home. I remember you have her phone number."

"No, Sister Xiaolan." Seeing this, Conan hurriedly chased after her and tried to stop Mao Lilan.

Kogoro Mouri was a little confused when he saw this, but when he saw that the two had left, he also left the Metropolitan Police Department.

Aoki Matsu looked at the backs of the three people and smiled as if he was watching a show. He didn't know how Conan would get through this time.

How to pass the level?

Naturally, Conan had to agree to a lot of things from Ran Mouri before he could get through this.

Although he successfully stayed in the Mori Detective Agency, Conan was in an extremely unhappy mood. When he was playing a game with Professor Agasa later, he directly "killed" Professor Agasa.

Dr. Agasa noticed that Conan was unhappy, so he offered to treat the six members of the Junior Detective League to eat sushi.

Then, as expected, a murder occurred.

And he’s a veteran actor—Cyanide!

After Aoki Matsu arrived at the scene, he asked Maruta Ayumi and others to go through the case handling process first.

Then he looked at Professor Agasa and the members of the Junior Detective League and said, "Conan, let you tell us what happened just now. You guys just listen and ask any questions you have."

"Okay!" Conan nodded, organized his words and slowly told the story of what had happened.

It turned out that after they had eaten their fill of sushi, Mitsuhiko saw that there were pudding and desserts, so Genta was about to get them. Unexpectedly, he accidentally knocked over the plate of sushi. Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi immediately squatted down to pick up the plate.

The deceased suddenly said to them in a vicious tone: "You little devils, you didn't deliberately knock over the dishes so that you can take advantage of the situation while waiting for the bill!"

Hearing the deceased say this, Yuan Tai said angrily: "We would never do such a thing!"

"I'm sorry." Dr. Agasa stood up and apologized, and explained: "Please don't misunderstand that these children are eating conveyor belt sushi for the first time."

"It's your first time. It seems that you usually eat high-quality sushi!" The deceased mocked the person sitting on his left. "You have no taste buds, but the level is very different, right, flounder brother."

"What!" The man looked very ugly.

The deceased continued to taunt, "That's your wife's favorite flounder." Then he looked at a plate of sushi on the conveyor belt and said, "Look, it's flounder. Don't you want to take it?"

After the deceased picked it up, he continued to taunt: "Yes, yes, this is actually a sea bass."

At this time, the store manager appeared behind the deceased and said to him: "Dear customer, please don't do this, because your behavior will cause trouble to other customers. Don't continue like this. Otherwise..."

Before the store manager could finish his words, the deceased shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. You are so stubborn and are willing to be a small store manager here. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

The store manager looked a little unhappy when he heard this, but he still looked at the deceased and said, "This... these are two different things!"

The deceased seemed to have seen through the store manager's cowardice and threatened him arrogantly, "Be careful or I'll ruin this store. Don't forget that I'm a well-known food critic. I can shut down a store like this within a week with just one report I write."

Then the deceased pointed to a middle-aged woman eating in the corner and said, "It's like, do you know the store of the auntie who sits in the corner and eats secretly?"

His "high-profile" behavior attracted the attention of everyone in the store. The deceased looked around and shouted, "Huh? What's wrong with you? What are you looking at? Damn it!"

The store manager saw this and just wanted to solve the problem quickly, so he thought that if he took a step back, there would be more room for maneuver, so he said, "Then this guest, today's fee will be waived, please go back!"

Upon hearing this, the deceased smiled and said, "Oh? It's free? In that case, I'll eat more before going back." Then he sat down again.

The store manager was also stunned when he saw this. He had never expected that the other party would be such a shameless bastard. "Ah? This customer..."

After being disturbed by the deceased, Conan and the others suddenly lost the mood to eat. Besides, they were full and just didn't have dessert, but now they were not in the mood to eat.

So Mitsuhiko suggested going back, and after Dr. Agasa paid the bill, everyone prepared to leave the store.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door of the store, I heard the painful wail of the deceased "Ah!!!"

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look and saw that the deceased had fallen off the chair as if he was trying to grab his neck, and fell to the ground without moving.

Conan ran over to check and found that the deceased had died of cyanide poisoning. After stopping the customer from leaving the store, he immediately asked Dr. Agasa to call the police and asked the store manager to stop the conveyor belt.

Then everyone waited for the police to arrive.

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at the layout of the store.

According to Conan, the most suspicious person is the one on the left hand side of the deceased, because he is close to him and has the opportunity to poison the deceased when he is not paying attention.

But for the time being, it cannot be determined how the deceased was poisoned, so it is just a suspicion.

After making sure that the others had no objection to Conan's statement, Aoki Matsu turned to the forensic detective and asked, "So, was cyanide added to the sushi?"

"It's not certain yet. We have to test the food the deceased ate before we can know. So far, there is no way to make a definitive conclusion." The detective from the forensic department replied, but then pointed to the plate with sushi on the side and said: "However, the cyanide seems to be stained on this part of the plate that the victim took last."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at the place where the forensic detective was pointing, which was the edge of the plate.

Maruta Ayumi said, "If the murderer pretends to take the plate, touches it with his drugged hand, and keeps it spinning, the cyanide-stained plate will turn in front of the victim."

"Yes, when the victim took the plate, cyanide got on his fingertips. Then he used his cyanide-stained fingers to pick up the sushi and eat it. It is entirely possible that he was poisoned as a result." said the criminal from the Forensic Department.

"After the incident, there should be no one leaving the scene." Aoki Matsu looked at the store manager and asked.

"No, neither the guests nor us have left," the store manager replied.

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong said, "Then search everyone first. If this inference is correct, the murderer should have a container of cyanide, or a handkerchief soaked in cyanide, on his body. Start with the guests who sat in the same row as the deceased."

"Yes!" Maruta Ayumi and others responded.

However, after the search, no cyanide container or handkerchief soaked in cyanide was found.

Aoki Matsu was not surprised by this. If it was such a simple case, Conan would not need to take action.

Conan's expression changed when he heard this, and he looked surprised. It was obvious that Aoki Matsu's previous arrangement was consistent with Conan's reasoning.

Logically speaking, after Conan discovered that someone was dead, he took control of the scene immediately, and the murderer should not have had any chance to throw away anything, but why couldn't he find it?

Conan's little brain started spinning like crazy. "Is there any way to only let the dead person get the poisoned plate? How can we prevent other guests from taking it away and only target the dead person for poisoning?"

Aoki Matsu was also thinking about this. He still felt that the person sitting on the left hand side of the deceased was a strong suspect, but there was no evidence!

The main reason is that cyanide is not easy to store and it is impossible for it to appear out of thin air. But I can't find a container, which is strange.

"Inspector." Aihara Yoji came over with a small notebook and reported: "The deceased is named Agatsuma Ryūzo, male, 43 years old, a food critic, famous for his vicious reviews.

However, I heard that the restaurants he praised really deserved the praise and were therefore very popular with readers. On the contrary, the number of customers visiting the restaurants he criticized would drop sharply, and some of them even closed down. "

"This alone could be enough to constitute a motive for murder," said Aoki Matsu.

The wages of avarice is death.

Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.

The harsh comments my wife left probably ruined a lot of people's money, and there are probably quite a few people who hate him.

But the question is, how can the murderer make sure the victim gets the poisoned plate?

Or maybe the murderer did not put cyanide on the plate, and the poison on the plate might have been on the victim's hand when cyanide came into contact with the plate when he went to eat sushi.

Aoki Matsu walked to the place where the deceased had sat before and looked carefully at the things on the table.

Seeing this, Maruta Ayumi said, "Inspector, although the conveyor belt of this conveyor belt sushi can automatically deliver the poisoned plate to the deceased, there is no way to guarantee that the deceased will definitely get it!"

Aihara Yoji nodded in agreement, "Yes, and it seems that there were many other guests sitting in the same row as the deceased."

Qing Musong naturally thought of this, which is why he always felt that the guest on the left hand side of the deceased was the most suspicious.

There are too many uncontrollable factors when smearing cyanide on the plate in advance.

It is safer to smear cyanide on the things in front of the deceased and let the deceased's fingers touch them!

Thinking of this, Qing Musong looked at the detective from the forensic department and asked, "Have you checked everything on the seat where the deceased was sitting just now? Is there anything else stained with cyanide?"

The criminal from the forensic department shook his head and said, "We have done drug tests, but apart from the plate, nothing else, including the seasoning bottles, showed any reaction."

"What about the ones next to it?" Qing Musong pointed to the things on the left and right sides of the deceased's seat.

"Everyone in this row has been tested for drugs, but there was no reaction." The criminal from the forensic department replied.

Qing Musong frowned when he heard this. [If you put it that way, it’s not a replacement.]

That is to say, prepare exactly the same thing in advance, coat it with cyanide, and after seeing the deceased sit down and determine the position, find an opportunity to replace the original thing.

No, wait!

Aoki Matsu fixed his eyes on the conveyor belt.

Just because the position is not checked doesn’t mean that the “replacement” tactic cannot be used.

This conveyor belt sushi shop is not big, and the conveyor belt is not very long. If the murderer had used the conveyor belt to transport the container of cyanide away, he would not have had any cyanide containers on his body or on his seat.
