The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"The police department found a small amount of drugs suspected of potassium cyanide near the dashboard of Mr. Kamata's car." Wataru Takagi, holding a transparent evidence bag, quickly approached Megure Thirteen, "It seems that Mr. Kamata, said Maybe he really committed suicide."

"Well, the forensic department has confirmed that there are no traces of poison in the cups of the four of them." Mu Mu Shisan also came to the conclusion.

Judging from the current situation, the incredible speculation that the deceased committed suicide turned out to be the most likely answer.

There was no poison in the cup, which basically negated the possibility of poisoning by others. In addition, multiple witnesses proved that the deceased had actively come into contact with substances suspected of being drugs before getting out of the car.

The poison came from the deceased's own hands, which cut off the idea of ​​pointing to other suspects.

For example, maybe Urata Kohei didn't have a death wish, maybe he brought poison with the intention of killing Ninagawa Ayako who dumped him, but he just forgot that he had been exposed to highly toxic drugs before while eating...

When he participated in a high school festival, he brought highly toxic substances with him, and the suspicious person turned out to be the deceased himself.

"Based on these circumstances, there is currently no evidence to support that this case is a homicide." After thinking about it, Mumu Shisan nodded and said, "This case can be tentatively ruled as..."

"...a simpler murder."

The confident and determined voice stopped Mumu Shisan's initial judgment of the case.

Here we go again, here we go again.

Mumu Shisan turned his head and looked at the people walking from the stall silently.

"This is the fifth Brother Kudo, right?" Before the black knight took off his helmet, Megure Thirteen, who had experienced this scene several times, learned to answer quickly.

"It's four." Kudo, who was standing aside, nodded seriously, "One was eliminated just now, and with him, there are still four."

"Hey..." After adjusting his hat, Mu Mu Shisan put down the record in his hand, "What is your situation? Is there any prank show today."

Even if you are playing tricks, you must first solve the case in front of you. Is the murder scene a place where you can do random things?

Kudo Shinichi, who took off his helmet, shook his hair that was weighed down by the overly solid helmet. He looked at the other three "Kudo Shinichi" who all had smiles on their faces, which could be called playful smiles. Lower eyelids.

"Look." Hooded Kudo leaned close to Fisherman Hat Kudo's ear and whispered, "I just said it, and he would roll his eyes."

Standing opposite the genuine Kudo Shinichi now, of course, are three of the four disguise ability users in Kudo Shinichi's personal network, Karasawa, Belmode and Kidd.

——Of course, Kuroba Kaito didn't change his appearance, he just styled his hair according to Kudo Shinichi's photo.

"I probably understand what happened, it's just some minor problems." Kudo Shinichi, who knew very well what his good friends were like now, patted his head helplessly, "Let's solve the problem of the case first. Regardless of us Who is Kudo Shinichi? First of all, we are definitely not among the suspects. We are third parties unrelated to the case and can give our own opinions as detectives, right?"

When he spoke, the corner of his eyes involuntarily turned towards Mao Lilan.

Among the several "Kudo Shinichi" currently appearing, he was certain that one was definitely a joker and the other was Kuroba Kaito.

The former was because he had to inform the other party of his plan to take a temporary antidote in order to ask him to help Haiyuan Ai disguise himself.

With this Phantom Thief of Heart's style of doing things based on his preferences, he would definitely get involved if he knew this kind of news.

As for the latter, considering that the person who might inform Kuroba Kaito was Karasawa, he could guess who did the good deed without even thinking about it.

Regarding Tang Ze's character, he felt that he had now figured out the way.

After knowing his plan, and making sure that with Haibara's help, there would be no problems with his original plan, calling Kuroba Kaito to play a prank was of course harmless entertainment.

The more harmless entertainment, the better.

Hattori Heiji and the "Kudo Shinichi" who suddenly came up over there. He could understand Hattori's thoughts and could only say that he was very grateful and dumbfounded.

After calculating this way, there is a little problem.

——Who is the extra "Kudo Shinichi"?

It would be fine if the other party was in similar condition to Kuroba, but what if the other party used his identity unscrupulously because he knew that the real Kudo Shinichi would never appear...

His situation was so special that there was no room for him to be careless.

Considering this situation, Kudo Shinichi did not choose to clarify his identity now, but prepared to observe for a while and make a decision before taking action.

Mao Lilan looked at the large number of Kudo Shinichi in front of him for a while, then turned his head, looked at Conan who was being dragged by Hattori Heiji to talk for a moment, nodded his chin and started thinking.

Noticing her movements, Kudo Shinichi swallowed, instinctively feeling a little nervous, and quickly turned his head to return his attention to the case.

"There was no poison in the drink cup, but poison was found in the deceased's vehicle. At first glance, it is indeed easy to conclude that Mr. Kamata seemed to have committed suicide." The knight in black turned his head and explained to Officer Megure, " But I think this case was clear-cut murder."

"Well, according to the current case, it is indeed unnatural to think that he committed suicide, but there is currently no other evidence to support the view of murder. No poison was found in the cups of Mr. Kamata who died and the other three people. The entire drink was from The process from the stall to the time when the deceased drank it was never reopened, and Ninagawa Ayako, the most likely tampering student, had no way of predicting which cup two people who bought the same drink would get." Megure Ten San briefly reviewed the current situation and reconfirmed the conclusion at this stage.

"No poison has been found. It can only prove that the poison does not exist in the drink." Kudo shook his finger, with a confident and leisurely look on his face that he knew everything. "There is no way to prove that the deceased was not killed. Poisoned.”

"Besides drinks, did the deceased eat anything else?" Mumu Shisan frowned, "None of the witnesses mentioned this."

"He only drank the drink, but there was more than just the drink in the drink cup." Hooded Kudo put his hands in his coat pockets, leaned on the table of the stall behind him, raised his hand and patted the machine on the stall, " Syrup, creamer, ice cubes, sugar... In order to meet the needs of different customers, the drinks at this stall will not be opened again after leaving the hands of the seller."

"...Exactly." After observing the three people for a while, Kudo Shinichi realized that he was not the only one who had confirmed the truth. Kudo Shinichi frowned and quickly took over the conversation, "Ice cube, I think the murderer used ice cube , completed the murder of the deceased.”

"Yes, for other materials, such as creamer or syrup, it is difficult for the murderer to prepare them in advance because he cannot know in advance what sales method the students will choose. If there is a packaging that is different from the ingredients used on site, the murderer can easily It may be exposed quickly." Kudo, a fisherman hat, picked up an opened plastic box of creamer in front of the stall and shook it twice. "What's more, what the deceased drank in the end was not actually coffee."

"This can confirm that the murderer is not Miss Ninagawa Ayako who made the drink. As her testimony said, she secretly changed the deceased's drink in order to let him exchange it for herself." Hooded Kudo added , "The likelihood that she may have tampered with the drink is minimal."

Kudo Shinichi, who was constantly being supplemented with explanations, looked around at the expressions of the surrounding audience and took a deep breath.

"...Potassium cyanide is not easily soluble in low-temperature water, so you only need to punch a hole in the ice in advance, put the poison in, refill the hole with water and freeze it, and put it into the deceased's cup. The poison will take a while It would flow out. Therefore, Mr. Kamata did not die immediately after drinking it, but almost drank the entire drink." Continuing his train of thought, Kudo Shinichi continued.

The arguments they used had different directions, but they corroborated each other, and they all seemed to lead to the same answer.

The crowd of onlookers looked left and right, with the same expressions of amazement.

They are no longer thinking about who is the real detective, and have gradually transitioned into the state of "really exciting, more exciting".

Watching this group of Kudo Shinichi fluently talking to each other, they were simply dazzled. It was as if they were watching the scenes rehearsed in Kudo Shinichi's mind, full of a sense of situation.

"Well, you, uh, what you said makes sense, Brother Kudo. But there was no melted poison found in Mr. Kamata's cup." Megure Thirteen pursed his lips, and temporarily interrupted the conversation. A few Kudos who are very comfortable.

"It's very simple. The lid of the cup found at the scene was open, right?" Kudo, the peaked hat, picked up a set of unopened disposable drinks cups on the stall, "Do you know why this is?"

"Didn't he fall to the ground and smash it open? Moreover, the deceased died in a very painful way. He grabbed the cup tightly, causing the paper cup to deform, so it was normal to squeeze the plastic lid open." Mouri Kogoro also retorted.

"Impossible, if it was for this reason, the paper cup would not be so intact. I just checked the evidence, and except for the lid and straw falling out, the entire cup was not damaged at all." Kudo, a fisherman hat, denied this possibility.

"So there is only one reason why you have to open the lid of the cup after drinking the drink."

Slowly and leisurely, he took out a ten-yuan coin from his pocket, tossed it, and the hooded Kudo flicked the coin forward, accurately hitting the helmet held by Kudo Shinichi in his arms.

Reflexively raising his hand to grab the coin he really needed, Kudo Shinichi observed the guy oddly for a while.

Does he mean to continue speaking on his own?

Got it, it seems that this Kudo Shinichi is a joker.

Confirming the identity of the next person first, Kudo Shinichi did not refuse the coin that fell into his hand: "So, Mr. Kamata did not drink the poison. He ate it."

"Oh, that's it! Some people will take out the remaining ice cubes in the glass after drinking the drink and eat it." Takagi Wataru suddenly realized.

Looking at the coin that was taken over, Kudo the peaked hat glanced at Kudo the hood.

No further explanation is needed, this is Tang Ze.

Among all the "Kudo Shinichi", the only one who really got through with Kudo Shinichi in advance and took care of his own feelings to some extent was Karasawa.

Anyway, he wouldn't do that. If Kudo is already handsome, then who is the real one will be discovered immediately?

Turning the brim of his hat, he pointed decisively at Hongshang Wuyi, who was standing aside with a slightly uneasy expression.

"So, you are the only one who has the possibility of poisoning Urata Kohei, Miss Kogami!"

"What, Wu Yi, why are you..." The others in the group looked at Hongshang Wu Yi's profile in surprise.

"You were responsible for purchasing the drink, because you thought the deceased purchased coffee. You could stand at the table naturally, open the lid of the cup, add syrup, etc... So the only person who would make such a design is you. ." Kudo in the bucket hat smiled, raised his hand and patted Kudo in the hood on the shoulder.

After designing for a long time, I was finally willing to be an assistant and handed over the most eye-catching part to the cool guy himself...

Some people seemed to soften their hearts faster than her.

It’s not that he is soft-hearted at all, but that he has the answer to the puzzle from the beginning, so Tangze, who doesn’t want to follow the script, squints at her hand on his shoulder: “…Unfortunately, you only found out after opening it that the people in the stall I actually gave him an iced Coke by mistake."

"That's why she used the excuse of being in a hurry to go to the bathroom and waited until the performance was about to start before giving the drink to Mr. Yota Mitani. This was to prevent the deceased from having enough time to change the drink." She moved her fingers a few times. , Kudo Shinichi took out the wallet he found, "I found this wallet in the trash can in the bathroom."

"It is made of plastic and will not seep water. Put some ice cubes and some refrigeration items such as dry ice. It will be very simple to carry it to the venue." Kudo pointed at the small pink wallet. "It has a very discreet shape and will not arouse suspicion when carried."

Under the gaze of Kudo Shinichi*4, the murderer Mai Kogami was obviously a little panicked.

The three fake Kudos who played Kudo Shinichi were all disguisers with excellent acting skills. Except for themselves, who knew some details about each other, almost no one else noticed who the real Kudo Shinichi was.

This made the four of them all use the kind of confident tone that Kudo Shinichi usually used when reasoning, which was not aggressive but was extremely sure.

Kudo Shinichi's words like this already put pressure on the murderer.

The four Kudo Shinichis all said the same lines to each other, pressing on step by step to cover up all possible details...

Having the opportunity to enjoy Kudo Shinichi's quartet that no other murderer could experience, Kogami Mai gritted her teeth with sweat all over her neck.

...She did make a big mistake, crossed that red line, and now she is a hopeless murderer.

But is a poisoning and murder case based on personal grudge really like this? !

"...You are right, but have you forgotten that Kamata and I both ordered coffee, but both were replaced with cola." Mai Kogami breathed hard and tried her best to retort, "I drank all my own drink too. How do you explain that, Detective?"
