"Is that so, Coroner?" Seeing that his analysis was well-organized, Inspector Megure immediately asked the forensic doctor for confirmation.

The forensic doctor nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed a taste of almonds in his mouth. Just as the young man said, I also infer that the deceased died of poisoning due to taking potassium hydroxide."

"I'm a boy from the Ministry of Persuasion. How do you know so much about this?"

"Uncle, that's because you didn't observe carefully enough. If you don't believe me, ask Miss Shangguan. She must have seen it too."

"Don't slander me. I've been watching the show. Okay, you two great detectives, hurry up and solve the case."

"Uh, Sister Shangguan, who is he?"

"He, he is..."

"I'm Kudo, the high school detective from Osaka. We can have a proper duel this time!"

"Ah, you are known as the Hattori of Kansai and the Kudo of Kanto. Are you the Hattori of Kansai?" Suddenly, Shangguan Chinatsu pretended to widen her eyes and said in a funny tone.

Hattori Heiji pressed down his baseball cap and showed a confident smile on his face. He said with a smile: "That's right! But, what do you mean by that tone?!" Hattori Heiji asked dissatisfiedly at the end.

"Okay, you two, do you have any clues?" Inspector Megure couldn't bear to watch it anymore and spoke out to stop them.

Shangguan Qianxia thought for a while, then she looked at the drink cup and asked in confusion, "Are all drinks served with ice?"

"Yes, because he ordered iced coffee." The woman in green nodded.

"Is this the drink that Mr. Urata bought himself?" Shangguan Chinatsu continued to ask as she looked at them.

The woman in green pointed behind Shangguan Qianxia and explained, "I went to buy it. I went to the beverage stand over there and bought four servings of drinks. Then I brought the drinks directly to where everyone was sitting."

Then she looked at the fat man next to her and continued, "After arriving, I gave the drink to Mr. Mitani and then went to the bathroom, right?"

"Yes." The fat man called Mr. Mitani nodded affirmatively.

At this time, Officer Megure looked at Mr. Mitani and asked in confusion: "Then, Mr. Mitani, did you just hand the drink directly to the dead Mr. Urata?"

"No, I'm giving it to everyone and passing it on to him slowly."

"Then it was handed over to Noda."

Noda, the woman in the sleeveless red dress, retorted, "What are you talking about? It was you who helped Dr. Urata choose the iced coffee just now?!"

"Um... I'm so sorry, what is the relationship between Mr. Urata and you three? Could you please explain it to me?" The humble and kind Officer Takagi looked at the three of them in confusion and asked.

The three of them stopped talking after hearing this, and the woman in green started to explain, "Actually, we all graduated from this high school, and we were all members of the drama club before. It just so happens that we now work together, so it has become an annual tradition for the four of us to come together to perform at the garden party."

"I just didn't expect something like this to happen in Urata. It's really unexpected."

"Urata is very happy that his theory is likely to be recognized."

"That's it."

The atmosphere among the three began to become sad.

At this time, Uncle Maori came out and asked in confusion: "But Miss Mai, why were you the only one who went to buy drinks for four people just now?"

Then, Uncle Maori said seriously: "It's too hard for you to get four drinks by yourself, right?"

What the highly emotionally intelligent Maori uncle meant was, are they bullying you?

"Because there were so many people, I asked everyone to go to their seats first so that they could get a good seat. Later, Urata came to me and asked if I needed help."

"However, he glanced at the beverage stand at the time, and then Urata returned to his seat with a grim face."

"Bluish face?" Inspector Megure caught the key words.

Uncle Maori heard this and speculated, "Did something happen?"

At this time, a girl wearing Teitan High School uniform and round-framed glasses appeared in the room. She speculated, "I think he must have seen me selling drinks at the counter at the time."

"Oh, it's Ayako. So you are a student of this school." Hearing this, Noda, the woman in the sleeveless red dress, turned around and said in surprise.

When Mai heard this, she looked at the girl with round-frame glasses, Ayako, in surprise. She said, "No wonder. I thought I saw you somewhere."

Officer Megure asked doubtfully, "Do you all know each other?"

"Yes, this lady is the only daughter of our hospital director." Noda nodded affirmatively.

Uncle Maori looked at Miss Ayako and said, "So, the person who just poured drinks for the four of them was..."

"It's indeed me." Miss Ayako nodded in response before Uncle Maori finished his words.

"I see. So all the suspects are here now." Hattori Heiji said calmly with a smile on his face.

When Mai heard this, she immediately retorted, "You...what are you talking about? I ordered the same iced coffee as Dr. Urata!"

Shangguan Chinatsu raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She walked to Officer Takagi and whispered something. Except for Kudo Shinichi, no one noticed her little action.

When Kudo Shinichi looked at Shangguan Chinatsu, his brows frowned slightly. He felt that Shangguan Chinatsu might get there first again this time.

He moved closer without making a sound, and Xiaolan noticed his little movement. In this way, the two of them got closer and closer to Shangguan Qianxia.

At this time, Officer Gao Mu came back with a drink in his hand. He looked at Shangguan Qianxia puzzledly and said, "Is there anything wrong with this drink?"

Shangguan Qianxia took the drink, opened the lid, and took a look inside. Sure enough, the drink was all gone, except for the ice cubes.

Shangguan Qianxia's lips curled up slightly, and she looked at the drink cup belonging to Mr. Urata that fell to the side.

Kudo Shinichi suddenly leaned over and looked at the drink. He widened his eyes and said in surprise: "This..."

"Hey, Officer Takagi, thank you." Shangguan Chinatsu returned the drink.

Suddenly, she turned to the three people and said, "What will Mr. Urata do after drinking his drink?"

"He would take out the ice cubes and then put them in the corners of his mouth to bite them." Wu Yi said subconsciously after hearing this.

As soon as these words were spoken, Kudo Shinichi was pierced by a beam of light, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

Hattori Heiji also suddenly realized, and he looked at Shangguan Chinatsu with some surprise.

"Oh, I just don't like this. Bingya, Xiaoai, I want to go to the bathroom. Do you want to come with me?" Shangguan Qianxia looked at Mai meaningfully, then turned to Xiaoai beside her and said.

"it is good."
