Chapter 231

"What bitter almonds? What nonsense are you talking about? You're just talking nonsense here just because you smell something." Inspector Levi looked very angry.

Kudo Shinichi tried hard to suppress his inner dissatisfaction and tried his best to make his words sound less like he was arguing with the other party.

But before Kudo Shinichi could say anything else, he was interrupted by Levi, "I don't care what that is, and I don't smell the bitter almond smell you mentioned at all."

"You..." Kudo Shinichi was so blocked that he couldn't breathe. "Either you can't smell it or it doesn't exist. Studies have shown that 40% of people in the world can't smell this smell, and you may be one of them."

"Haha, that sounds nice. Who do you think you are, a little brat? Why do you think you are here to lecture me?"

"I'm Kudo Shinichi, a detective. I've participated in many case investigations before, and my judgment is never wrong."

"Kudo Shinichi? You are not from here, right?" Levi repeated the name of Kudo Shinichi several times in his mind after hearing it. "What kind of person am I talking about? You are not even from our country. You care about our affairs so much. Are you a spy?"

"You..." Kudo Shinichi wanted to say something but was stopped by Mouri Ran and Dr. Agasa.

They just came here to play for a few days. If they were labeled as spies or something... they didn't dare to think about what would happen next.

"And you." After seeing that the kid in front of him didn't dare to say anything to him, Levi turned his attention to the owner of the restaurant, "Do you believe anything anyone says?"

"What if these guys were sent by your competitors to do this on purpose? Did you see so many reporters waiting outside?"

The restaurant owner then noticed the crowd outside watching the fun, as well as the reporters carrying cameras, looking like they were discovering some big news.

Cold sweat broke out on his head. What was going on?

How could I believe what the other party said so easily without doing any investigation in advance?

If they were really competitors...

The restaurant owner's mind was working faster than ever.

"Sir, I'm really sorry to bother you." The restaurant owner walked up to the man and held his hand. In a place where no one else could see, he scratched the man's palm twice with his index finger.

Seeing that there was no change in the other person's expression, the restaurant owner gritted his teeth and scratched the other person's palm twice more.

Feeling the touch from the palm of his hand, Levi nodded with satisfaction and let go of the other person's hand.

"I know you mean well and are worried that something really might go wrong, but you have to remember that not everything people say is useful." As he said this, he glanced at Kudo Shinichi with disdain.

"Sir, you are right. Look at my broken mouth. It's not as good as yours in speaking." The restaurant owner smiled flatteringly.

"Well, in this case, if you feel uneasy, just take it and test it yourself. If someone really poisoned it, would everyone here be lucky enough to escape? I think it's just children playing around."

"You're talking nonsense. We..."

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but retort, but the other party didn't want to pay any attention to him and just turned around and left.

As for the other police officers, seeing their superiors leave, they naturally would not stay here any longer.

As for their boss, he just felt it was very unlucky.

I was originally having a good time in the office, drinking tea, watching TV, and when it was about time I would take a shower and go to bed.

As a result, I was called over late at night to deal with this matter.

There's no way he could be in a good mood.

No one really died anyway.

Even if someone wants to poison, wait until someone really dies.

Thinking of this, he gathered his team and left without any burden.

Only Kudo Shinichi was left here, helpless and furious.

Kudo Shinichi was indeed angry. No matter what, something like this happening in a place like a hotel should be investigated thoroughly, but it was simply judged in just a few words.

But... Kudo Shinichi wanted to do something, but he had to suppress other thoughts in his mind.

If he was really regarded as a spy, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had a hundred mouths.

He did believe that the police would handle the case impartially, but that definitely did not include issues involving espionage.

"What's wrong?" Seeing those people looking like eggplants hit by frost, Funina asked curiously.

Didn't they call the police to investigate the matter here? Did it look like the matter was resolved or not?

"We..." Kudo Shinichi said in a dry voice. It was the first time he encountered a policeman who didn't listen to him.

And the owner of this restaurant.

The attitude changed 180 degrees.

Even though this is a restaurant, we have to be extra careful.

Although it was his own fault for trusting others, there were so many people here tonight. If he neglected such matters due to his negligence and did not take them to heart, and an accident occurred, no matter who was present, it would be unacceptable to him. So he believed the words of a young child without any investigation.

The best outcome would be no accidents. Having said that, he still caused trouble to others, especially many young ladies and ladies who were frightened, so he will send a special gift as an apology later.

Anyone who can earn such a large fortune here is not a simple character. Without the influence of other external factors, his IQ returns instantly and he quickly puts himself in the most advantageous position.

"I've solved so many cases, how could I not recognize the taste of bitter almonds." Kudo Shinichi was still very unwilling to accept that the other party did not believe what he said, and he was also unwilling to accept that he was despised and ignored.

"Just now, I thought about it carefully. Although I don't know who did this, I think it seems more like it was specifically targeted at us."

Furninna was helpless. Just now, she thought of some bad things. How familiar...

"If poisoning is indiscriminate, to put it bluntly, nothing will happen outside. So... this is specifically targeting us, but I don't know why."

Mao Lilan also thought of this, and continued after Funina finished speaking, "But we didn't do anything, how could we offend anyone?"

Kudo Shinichi also fell into deep thought.

He didn't think about Furninda, but suspected that they were investigating the secret code today.

Perhaps it was because they were so open about their actions that they were targeted by those behind the scenes.

However, since the other party had left behind the so-called "Revelation", why would he attack them just because he was investigating him?

Kudo Shinichi couldn't figure it out.

But Funina was very clear that these people should be coming towards her. From this short contact, it seemed that these people in front of her were not the kind of people who would choose to hide when they saw danger ahead.

Funina understood that if she told these things, others would not be sure, but the detective boy in front of her would definitely be involved.

"Shinichi, let's not talk about that for now. What should we do with these things?" Dr. Agasa looked at the food on the table with a complicated expression. Should they eat it now or not?

As an elder who has watched Kudo Shinichi grow up since he was a child, Dr. Agasa still believes what Kudo Shinichi said, but it is useless if he believes it and others don't.

He also wanted to help, but there was nothing he could do.

"Of course not." Kudo Shinichi jumped up, "My judgment will not be wrong."

"In that case, let's find a suitable place to dispose of these dangerous things!" Dr. Agasa was a little worried. He looked at so many plates on the table and didn't know what to do.

Although he seldom travels abroad, he still has some knowledge of things in other countries - such as garbage disposal.

I don't know what Shinichi will do.

"Doctor, please clean up here first. I have to deal with these things properly anyway." Kudo Shinichi fell into thought, "I'll go find the boss."

Dr. Agasa really wanted to say that he felt that the boss would no longer listen to what he said.

But Dr. Agasa felt that it was difficult to say such words. Seeing that Kudo Shinichi ran out, Dr. Agasa gave up the idea.

"Shinichi, what are you holding?"

Dr. Agasa thought that in such a short time, Shinichi should not be able to say anything, right? But how come Shinichi came back so soon?

Kudo Shinichi put the things in his hands on the table in a discouraged manner. Only then did they see clearly that Kudo Shinichi was holding some disposable plastic bags.

It turned out that after what happened just now, the boss team employee Fuji Shinichi began to doubt what Kudo Shinichi said, and felt that these were all done by his competitors.

But since there were still many people nearby and had not left, the boss felt that he could not be too cold, so he asked someone to bring a bunch of plastic bags and stuff them into Kudo Shinichi's hands.

He also said that it was for Kudo Shinichi's sake.

……

"Well, Shinichi, haven't we all seen how those things were handled? And no one had any accidents afterwards. Shouldn't you be happy about this?"

Seeing that Kudo Shinichi was still unhappy, Mao Lilan comforted him.

"Maybe we really made a mistake. Okay, Shinichi, stop being like this. Can you please be happy?"

"I still can't figure it out, then...haha, Xiaolan, you're right, I must be overthinking it." Kudo Shinichi wanted to say something, but he felt the dangerous aura coming from Mouri Ran.

Kudo Shinichi changed the subject carefully.

"Okay, let's send Sister Song Funina home first, and then go back to find Dad." Mao Lilan made the decision, and Kudo Shinichi didn't dare to express any other opinions.

"By the way, Sister Funina, where is your home? Let's take you back first. It's so late now. I, be careful!"

When Mao Lilan turned her head to look at Funina, she saw that there seemed to be something upstairs, but the lights in the room on the floor slightly below happened to be turned on, and Mao Lilan immediately saw clearly that someone was falling from downstairs.

The direction of the fall was exactly above Funina.

Without thinking much, Mao Lilan rushed towards Funina, and then the two fell to the side.

boom!

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard.

"what!!!"

People passing by also heard the noise. When they got closer, they saw a body that had been "badly" fallen on the ground, surrounded by...

The other party didn't faint immediately, which shows that he has strong mental strength.

Wow.

"Xiaolan!"

Some things that looked like building materials fell down, including broken glass fragments. Kudo Shinichi was anxious to go over and pull Mouri Ran up, but he discovered it was too late. By the time Kudo Shinichi realized it, the second falling objects were almost close to the ground.

Kudo Shinichi wished he could run over and protect Mouri Ran under him.

But fortunately, nothing fell where Mao Lilan was.

"Huh." Kudo Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went forward to help Mao Lilan up. "Are you okay, Xiaolan? You almost scared me to death, you know?"

"I'm fine." Mao Lilan shook her head, "Sister Funina, are you okay?"

"I'm fine too." Furninha shook her head.

I originally thought that I could quickly separate from Kudo Shinichi and the other two, but it seems that in a short time...

Furninna was a little anxious.

"Xiaolan..."

"I just looked up and saw someone falling from the upstairs, so... uh." Mao Lilan accidentally saw the body lying on the ground next to her out of the corner of her eye, and her stomach began to churn uncontrollably.

The person in front of her was really too tragic. She had never been exposed to such things up close before.

"What did you say? Xiaolan, what did you see just now?" Kudo Shinichi keenly noticed the implied message in Mouri Ran's words.

When he realized something was wrong, Kudo Shinichi thought about how he had to get rid of the other things beforehand...

"Xiaolan, what did you see? Tell me quickly."

"I, I don't know, I just saw someone falling from the building..." Mao Li Ran has not yet recovered, and just mechanically answered Kudo Shinichi's question.

She was about to be frightened.

Since Mouri Ran couldn't get any more information from him, Kudo Shinichi turned around and ran upstairs.

Kudo Shinichi had a hunch that this matter was not that simple.

Only by returning early can he discover the hidden secret before all the evidence is destroyed.

"Shinichi!" Mao Lilan shouted from behind, but Kudo Shinichi left without looking back.

Only Mao Lilan was left standing there, not knowing what to do.

What happened just now was still too much of a shock for her, especially the body that had been smashed to pieces and was still twitching under her gaze.

Mao Lilan wanted to leave and follow Kudo Shinichi's footsteps, but now she...
