"Officer Mu Mu, please wait a moment. I have something to ask Mr. Naoto!”
Mu Shisan paused and turned to Maori Kogoro who was sitting on the sofa.""Brother Mao Li, what do you have to ask?”
Conan said to the adjusted voice changer,""I would like to ask Mr. Naoto, which part of the cigarette did you apply the poison on?”Although he already had a guess and was very sure, it was useless no matter how much he guessed since Ueno himself did not say where the poison was applied. It could not be used as evidence.
Although Nao Ueno did not know why Maori Kogoro asked this, he had already confessed, so there was naturally no need to hide it. He replied,"I smeared the poison on the cigarette filter.”
"Are you sure?"
Conan asked. At this moment, Minagawa Reiko, who had finished washing the coffee cups, walked out and stood to the side.
"I'm sure!" Nao Uehara nodded. I already admitted that I was the one who poisoned you. There's no need for me to lie to you.”
"That's right!"
" Officer Megure," Conan said in a deep voice," the criminal isn't Mr. Naomichi, but someone else!"”
Mu Shisan was shocked and said in disbelief,""Brother Mao Li, what are you talking about? Mr. Uno has already confessed.”
"That's right, he did plan to kill someone, and he even carried it out, but he failed. Please take a look at the cigarette butt left behind.”
Upon hearing this, Mezuran looked at the police officer who was holding the evidence, and his meaning was obvious. When the police officer handed the evidence bag to Mezuran, Conan continued,"" The cigarettes and cigarette butts left at the scene were separated. This is obviously because Mr. Minagawa Kazuhiko is used to smoking cigarettes without filter tips. After receiving Mr. Naoto's cigarette, he habitually removed the filter tip. In other words, Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko did not draw the poisonous part.”
Megure Shisan looked at the evidence bag and knew that Maori Kogoro was right. The criminal did not go straight to Uehara.
"Master Mao Li, who is the criminal?”
Shinichi Takada walked to the sofa, but he did not look at Conan, who was hiding behind the sofa, as if he did not notice him at all. There was still a long way to go. To Shinichi Takada, exposing Conan would not do him any good. He would not do such a thing.
Conan looked up and was glad that Shinichi Takada did not notice him. He said,""The real culprit in this case is you, Miss Minagawa Reiko, who is also Minagawa Katsuhiko's mother. You were the one who killed Minagawa Katsuhiko!”
" What?!" " How is this possible?!"
After hearing Conan's words, everyone in the room was shocked and could not believe it except for Shinichi Takada, who was already prepared.
"You... What are you talking about? I... How could I kill him? You... Tell me, how did I kill him?”
Minagawa Reiko's eyes were filled with shock, but she barely managed to remain calm. However, her last sentence revealed the fear in her heart. Her question was just filled with unwillingness.
"You poisoned him with food."”
"But…All of us have eaten food before.”Mao Lilan interrupted.
" That's right," Conan explained." But Mr. Minagawa still died because he didn't eat the cake." Why? That was because the poison was put in the coffee, and the cake was the antidote. Minagawa Katsuhiko, who had never eaten the cake, was poisoned to death. As Minagawa Katsuhiko's mother, you should know very well whether he eats sweet food or not, am I right?”
"These are just your speculations. You have no evidence at all.”
Minagawa Reiko made a final resistance, but her slight trembling... Her trembling body showed her fear.
"Of course I have evidence!"
" The evidence is on the coffee cup," Conan said." Although you took the opportunity to wash the coffee cup before the police arrived. However, no matter how you washed it, if you took it to the laboratory, you could still detect the poison. Even if it didn't leave on the coffee cup, it would leave on the drain.”
Minagawa Reiko took two steps back in shock. She was speechless. She squatted down and hugged her son who was right in front of her. She could not help but cry.
At this time, Mezurin had already arrived in front of Minagawa Reiko. As for Nao Uehara, although he did not kill anyone, he could not escape the charge of attempted murder.
"Why are you doing this? Even if Keyan isn't your child, you're his biological aunt. Why did you do this?”
Guan Guxiang walked over, her face filled with pain as she asked. The death of her childhood sweetheart had made her extremely sad.
"I only did this because I had no choice!”
" My husband's career has failed," Minagawa Reiko said painfully." So I have to get my hands on Kazuhiko's property no matter what. I have to protect this family and Ah Jin's happiness. I don't want to do this either."”
Guan Guxiang kept shaking her head. She had nothing to say. This was not because she had forgiven Minagawa Reiko, but because Minagawa Reiko would be punished by the law. There was no need for her to say anything more.
He looked at Minagawa Reiko, who was hugging her son and crying. He did not go over immediately because he knew that Minagawa Reiko would not have many chances to hug her son in the future.
At this time, Conan had already packed up the voice changer and walked out from behind the sofa chair.
"If I had known…If he had known earlier…I chose to believe that man!”
Hearing Minagawa Reiko's whisper, Conan's heart skipped a beat. Could there be something else going on here? Mezuki Shisan, who had also heard it, asked directly,""Ms. Minagawa, who is the man you're talking about?”
Minagawa Reiko no longer hugged her son. Instead, she looked at him with reluctance in her eyes, but she replied," I don't know him. He said that he was called the Hell Puppet Master, and that he was..."
"What is it? Hell Puppet Masters?"
" What?" Mu Shisan exclaimed, interrupting Minagawa Reiko's words. She then asked hurriedly,""Miss Minagawa, what did he say? How did you guys get in touch?"
Conan was also staring at Minagawa Reiko. He would never forget the Hell Puppet Master who had committed a major crime.
Although Minagawa Reiko did not understand why Mu Mu Thirteen was so shocked, she still replied,""We contacted each other on the phone. He called me and said that he could help me commit any murder case. He asked me if there was anyone I wanted to kill. I already had the thought of killing Keyan, but how could I believe a stranger's call? So I hung up. If... If back then…"
"Ms. Minagawa, you shouldn't hope for luck. Instead, you should reflect on the crimes you have committed.”
" I'm sorry!" Mu Zisan chided Minagawa Reiko, but his heart was heavy. He didn't expect the Puppet Master from Hell to do something like this. He asked others if there was anyone he wanted to kill, and then helped them kill. This was too terrifying. If he didn't curb it, when the reputation of the Hell Puppet Master spread in society and he committed a few more crimes, it would definitely cause chaos in society.
"How could this person do such a thing? He's really despicable!”
Molilan said in a low voice. She was very angry. In her opinion, the Hell Puppet Masters were too despicable. They did not respect the lives of others.
"If we don't capture the Hell Puppet Master, we'll be in trouble!”
Shinichi Takada, who was standing beside Mao Lilan, could not help but sigh when he heard this. He was pitying the state of heaven and the people. With the ability of the Devil Designer, Shinichi Takada naturally wouldn't let it go. He was only one person, and he couldn't kill people every day. Therefore, he thought of a way, which was to let others kill people. He designed a murder plan for that person, and doing so was definitely a crime. Even if he hadn't succeeded yet, he believed in this.
Once a person had killed someone, he would not hesitate or be afraid to kill again. In Takada's opinion, anyone who could survive after executing the killing plan he designed was smart and careful. These people were of great use to him. They would be the executors who would bring chaos to society. He only needed to give orders from behind.
Minagawa Reiko and Naoto Uemo were taken away. Maori Kogoro also woke up not long after. Faced with Takada's flattery, he did not have time to think about what was going on. Instead, he laughed and accepted it, calling himself a famous detective.
Conan smiled helplessly and heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Shinichi Takada had not discovered anything. He had placed all his attention on the Hell Puppet Master. However, he knew that he could only leave this matter to the police. He would not be able to find the Hell Puppet Master alone unless he happened to meet them.
Shinichi Takada and the others did not stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Watanabe and the other two, they left.
Maori Kogoro had to go to the police station to make a statement, so he went to the police station alone, while Shinichi Takada, Maori Rilan, Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan walked back together.
On the way, Suzuki Sonoko was very proactive towards Shinichi Takada. She took the initiative to stand beside him and chat with him.
While chatting with Suzuki Sonoko, Shinichi Takada took the opportunity to look at the system's evaluation of Suzuki Sonoko and its strategy suggestions.
"Crystal Palace's target: Suzuki Sonoko (90 points)-- (Favorable impression points: 70 5)"
" Suzuki Sonoka: Born in a prestigious family, the second daughter of the Suzuki Consortium, but she has a carefree personality. She had a good relationship with Mao Lilan. She never showed off her identity as a young lady in front of others. She valued her friends and had a very sincere heart.”
" Suzuki Sonoka is the second daughter of the prestigious Suzuki Corporation. She is a young lady who is infatuated with handsome men. She likes handsome men, but she doesn't fall in love with them because of their handsomeness. Handsomeness will only make it easier for her to fall in love with that person. The host wants to take Suzuki Sonoka into the Crystal Palace. It is recommended that you show off your handsomeness and ability in front of Suzuki Sonoka. Handsomeness can make it easier for Suzuki Sonoka to have a good impression of the host. Ability is what she really likes. Showing handsomeness and ability could increase the corresponding favorability.”
"It seems that Suzuki Garden isn't that easy to deal with. It's just that it's easier to increase the favorability in the early stages.”
Shinichi Takada pondered in his heart. He closed the virtual interface and chatted with Suzuki Sonoko, thinking about how to display his ability and how to make her really like him.
Time slowly passed as the four of them chatted. The four of them returned to the law firm. Suzuki Sonoko bade farewell and left. Shinichi Takada did not return downstairs. Instead, he stayed on the second floor. It was getting late, and it was almost time for dinner. Now, he ate at the firm, but he had to pay 10,000 yen a month for food.
