"I don't know what method the murderer used to make Dr. Urata take the poison, but I'm sure that the murderer is among the four of you. Isn't that right, Officer Megure?" Hattori said.
"Yes."
"Officer, we found some milk candy and syrup in Mr. Urata's pocket.”Officer Takagi said to Officer Megure as he took out the items from Mr. Urata's pocket.
"Still not used? What's going on?" Officer Megure looked at the toffee and syrup in Officer Takagi's hands and asked in confusion.
Hattori looked at the toffee and syrup in Officer Takagi's hands and turned to Mr. Urata's companions." Excuse me, do you usually drink black coffee?”
"No, I remember that he usually adds milk sugar and syrup to his coffee, right?”Miss Oda asked Mr. Mitani and Miss Dancing Clothes.
"That's right, he can add both.”Mitani-san said.
"Then, why did he leave these two behind?”Maori Kogoro was puzzled.
"Because it's not iced coffee in the cup, it's Coke.”Cai suddenly said. Hearing Cai Zi's words, everyone was stunned. "I originally thought that he would definitely come to me for another cup of coffee. Perhaps he would come and ask me why I broke off the engagement with him in the first place.”
"You mean the engagement?" Officer Megure was surprised.
"Yes, I originally planned to marry him immediately after graduation, but I suddenly felt very uneasy. Last week, I called to reject the marriage. From then on, he didn't want to see me when I went to the hospital.”Cai said dejectedly.
"No wonder my cup is also filled with coke. I almost added creamer and syrup into it just now.”The dancer said as she took out the creamer and syrup from her pocket.
Xiaolan, who was beside Shinichi, saw Shinichi staring at the creamer and syrup that the dance costume took out. She asked in confusion," Shinichi, is there something wrong?”
"I'm really sorry." Cai said apologetically.
Shinichi retracted his gaze and looked at Xiaolan." It's nothing."”
Xiaolan looked at Shinichi's indifferent back. She didn't know what was wrong with him and looked at him worriedly.
"In that case, take the drinks and creamer syrup of the four of them for testing. We'll wait for the results to come out.”Officer Megure said.
" Yes." Officer Takagi and the others went to the dancer and took the creamer and syrup from her hand for testing.
At this time, Maori Kogoro came to Officer Megure's side." Officer Megure, this is very likely."”
"What's possible?" Officer Megure no longer held much hope for Maori Kogoro's sometimes unreliable reasoning.
"He committed suicide. He was dumped by a girl who was ten years younger than him. He was very traumatized. Before he planned to commit suicide, he arranged to meet her here. He was so angry that he committed suicide in front of his fiancée.”Maori Kogoro whispered.
"Are you saying that she might also be suspected by the police?”
Wuyi suddenly remembered something and asked Mitani," Oh right, Dr. Urata seemed to be looking for something today, right?”
"Yes, I heard him say that he was looking for his driver's license.”
" Did you guys think of something?" Officer Megure asked after hearing their conversation.”
"No, actually, we came in Mr. Urata's car today. We all felt that his expression was a little off.”Miss Oda said.
"He was looking for something in the car today.”Wu Yi continued.
"Brother Takagi, ask them to take you to that car to see what's inside. Maybe there'll be some clues.”Officer Megure ordered.
" Yes," Officer Takagi said and let them lead the way to the car. It was raining heavily outside.
"Kudo, I think you should have noticed that the murderer who poisoned him should be that guy. The lid of Mr. Urata's drink cup was obviously stained with iced coffee and coke. Coupled with that guy's strange behavior, I could completely see through his technique.”Hattori walked to Conan, who was looking out the window at the group of people running towards the car.
"Yes, now we just need to find evidence to identify the murderer.”Conan smiled confidently.
"Detective, how do you plan to solve the case?”Xiao Ai, who had walked to their side at some point, said.
When Conan saw Xiao Ai looking in Shinichi's direction, he thought of something and ran towards Shinichi.
" Brother Shinichi, Brother Shinichi." He tugged at Shinichi's clothes and looked at Shinichi. He smiled and said," Brother Shinichi, Brother Hattori is looking for you. It seems to be about the case. He's over there."”Conan pointed in the direction of Hattori.
Shinichi looked in Hattori's direction and saw Xiao Ai standing beside him. He then turned to look at Xiaolan.
Xiaolan looked at her and smiled at him." Since Hattori is looking for you, you should go quickly."”
Shinichi nodded and prepared to walk towards Hattori. At this moment, Officer Megamo's cell phone rang. Everyone looked at him. Officer Megamo picked up the phone and asked," Is that so? It's been hard on you."
"Officer." Officer Takagi returned as soon as Officer Megure hung up.
"Brother Takagi, what was the result?”Officer Megure asked.
"I found this in Mr. Urata's locker.”Officer Takagi showed the evidence bag in his hand to Officer Megure. There was a small bottle of medicine inside." I'm suspecting if this is potassium hydrogen acid.”
"Thank you for your hard work. I just received a call from the forensics team. They said that there were no traces of toxic substances in the four of their drinks.”
"So, this way we can…"
"Yes, this case has been determined to be a suicide case.”Officer Megamu said.
Oh no, this wasn't suicide at all. It was homicide! Conan listened to Officer Megure's conclusion and looked anxiously at Hattori. Hattori nodded and walked over.
"This is not suicide." A faint voice was heard.
"Shinichi?" Xiaolan looked at Shinichi with a puzzled expression.
Yanze? Conan stared blankly at Shinichi, who suddenly spoke.
"Brother Kudo, there were no traces of poison in the drink cup of the deceased Mr. Urata and the other three people's drinks. Moreover, Mr. Urata drank almost all the drinks.”Officer Megure was puzzled.
"Ice."
"Ice?"
" Yes, potassium hydrogen is a poison that is extremely difficult to dissolve in ice water. As long as you dig a hole in the ice, inject the potassium hydrogen into the center of the ice, and then use a small piece of ice as a cover, you can put it in Mr. Urata's drink cup together with the other ice cubes. Then, Mr. Urata will be able to drink most of the drink before the poison melts.”Shinichi explained calmly.
"Even if that's the case, shouldn't there be poison left in his cup?”Officer Megure was puzzled.
"Well, Mr. Urata's drink cup was open, right? Do you know why?”Hattori suddenly asked.
" It's probably because he was in so much pain after drinking the poison that he held it too tightly, that's why..." Maori Kogoro said disdainfully.
"Nonsense. If that was really the case, the blanket would have been rubbed to shreds long ago.”Officer Megami looked at Maori Kogoro speechlessly.
"I understand." Conan said happily.
"Brat, what do you know?" Maori Kogoro looked at Conan with a displeased expression. If he couldn't say anything and continued to cause trouble, he would definitely teach this little imp a lesson.
Conan looked at Maori Kogoro's fierce expression and took a step back. He laughed dryly and said," I usually open the lid of the cup after drinking a drink with ice cubes and eat all the ice cubes inside.”
"Yes, Mr. Urata did not drink the poison, but ate it.”Hattori continued.
"I see. As long as we know that Mr. Urata has this little habit, we can really kill him with poison. Moreover, the poison won't remain on the drink.”Officer Megure was enlightened after hearing Hattori's explanation.
"Then tell me, who is the person who added poison to the ice?”Maori Kogoro asked.
"Hong Shang Wu Yi." Shinichi looked at Wuyi Hongami indifferently.
Hearing Shinichi's words, everyone looked at Dancing Robe Hirogami in shock.
Hattori looked at Shinichi, who did not speak after telling him who the murderer was. What the hell was he doing? Then he leaned over to Conan and whispered," Who is this guy? Was he not going to continue?”
Conan looked at Shinichi and said helplessly," This guy is like this. I'll explain it to you later. Let's solve this case first."”
" Yes," Hattori said. He looked at the crowd and continued," Makoto, after you buy drinks for everyone, you just need to pretend to add creamer and syrup to the drinks at the counter. Then, you can add ice cubes mixed with poison."”
"Wait a moment." Miss Oda suddenly interrupted,"But she didn't add creamer or syrup to the dance dress."
"Yeah, didn't you find unused creamer syrup in Urata's pocket?”Mitani-san added.
"That's because after she added the poisoned ice cubes, she realized that the drink inside was actually coke. If she added those, Mr. Urata might not even drink it. She'll bring the drinks to you before the play starts, just so they won't be returned. Even if they found that the content was wrong, it would take a lot of effort to change the drinks once the lights in the venue dimmed.”
