Chapter 56(1/2)
The standard plot of the Shinigami Realm has begun. Furukawa Kumisa lowered his head and smelled Amakusa Yuyasu's mouth and nose, which smelled like almonds.
"Cyanide|chemical." She said with certainty.
Toru Amuro had already raised his head and warned others present: "Don't touch anything on the table. He was poisoned to death. The poison is probably on the table."
The few people still sitting at the table froze for a moment and pushed the cups and plates in front of them a little further away.
Xiaoxun, who had just walked in, was still in the fog. She looked at Amakusa Yutai who was lying on the ground: "What are you talking about... What's wrong with Master Yutai? Are you feeling unwell?"
Edogawa Conan remained calm and announced very calmly: "He is dead. He died of poisoning."
"ah--!!"
Furukawa Kumisa: ...No, the reflex arc of the scream this time is too long, right?
With the woman's scream, the murder scene in Ke Xue's world is finally complete.
Edogawa Conan climbed onto the chair and began to look at the things on the table.
The remaining cups, plates and cutlery were knocked around due to the impact of the deceased. On the plate were the shrimp shells of the Australian lobster and the chopped coriander and green onions that the deceased did not eat.
The wine glass next to him was tipped onto the table, and the red wine that had been in the glass for a few sips flowed onto the table, dripping along the tablecloth and onto the ground.
The soup in the bowl was poured from the large soup bowl in the center of the table, and it looked like it was just a few sips.
There are also unused napkins, a half-opened cigarette case, and a lighter that fell to the ground...
There are so many things you can do with your hands and feet.
Toru Amuro walked to the side to make a call, closed his phone, and came back with a sullen expression: "The situation is not good. The heavy rain may have affected the signal base station here. Now there is no signal on the phone at all, so I can't make calls, let alone call the police.
"
Furukawa Kumisa:... Ke has learned the basics of the world.
She sighed, knowing that it was time for her to appear, so she stood up from the body and took out her ID from her pocket.
"My name is Furukawa Kisa, and I am an active detective in the Investigation Section 2 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Division. Although I am on vacation now, I hope everyone will listen to what I have to say."
Suddenly there was a criminal policeman at the murder scene, and the atmosphere at the table became a little strange.
The boss's secretary, Kaori Gomokawa, was the first to speak. She touched the lenses on her face and asked calmly.
"As far as I know, the person in charge of homicide investigation in the Criminal Department is usually a police officer from Section 1. Since Officer Furukawa is a police officer from Section 2, it means he is not specialized in this. With all due respect, why should Officer Furukawa let us trust you?
The results of the investigation?”
Furukawa Kumisa shrugged: "Of course you don't have to believe it, but I think that compared to everyone here who has entangled interests, a semi-professional like me who is a complete stranger is obviously more trustworthy, isn't it?"
This sentence pointed out the mutual suspicion among the remaining people in the hall, and even Kaori Gobaikawa choked up when she just opened her mouth to attack.
As he said that, Furukawa Kumisa grabbed Toru Amuro who was next to him. Toru Amuro didn't put any precautions against her, and was staggered by her unprepared reaching out.
"This is Mr. Amuro, he is a disciple of the famous Mouri Kogoro."
In the science world, the title of police officer is far less useful than that of detective.
Sure enough, after the name of Mouri Kogoro was announced, the reaction on the table was different.
Xiaoxun covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Is that the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro'...?"
Even the young master, who prided himself on being aloof and cold, cast a different look after hearing this.
Toru Amuro smiled humbly at them: "Yes, I am fortunate to be the disciple of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro."
While Furukawa Kumisa and Amuro Tohru were taking control of the field, Edogawa Conan had already checked every detail on the table.
He held the coin with the usual color and said solemnly: "Currently, no poisonous reaction has been detected in the soup and alcohol on the table. The poisonous reaction on the deceased's body is only found on the tips of the five fingers of his right hand, but the thumb is different.
The poison reaction on the thumb was on the side of the knuckle, not on the fingertip."
Furukawa Kumisa glanced at it and saw that Edogawa Conan had shifted his focus to the deceased and tested the poison reaction on the deceased.
She looked at Xiaoxun who was standing aside and the housekeeper standing behind her: "Who cooked this dinner?"
Xiaoxun trembled: "Yes, I did it..."
After she said it, she came to her senses and said that she was too suspicious, so she hurriedly defended: "But, but I really didn't poison! Everyone's food was made in the same boiler, and I didn't do it before I served it.
Share the plates! If it is poisoned, Master Youtai will definitely not be the only one in trouble!"
She is a very clear thinking girl.
Furukawa Kumisa asked again: "Are there any leftover dishes on the table tonight?"
Xiaoxun nodded tremblingly: "There are still some left in the kitchen, and the uneaten leftovers are also in the trash can. They haven't been processed yet. The police lady can go and check them."
Edogawa Conan jumped off the chair, ran to Xiaoxun, and tugged on her sleeve: "Sister Xiaoxun, please take me there, I'll be fine!"
The housekeeper behind could not help but speak: "Miss Furukawa is a police officer, and Mr. Amuro is a disciple of a famous Maori detective. There is no problem for the two of them to investigate the murder scene, but this little brother is..."
Furukawa Kumisa: ...You may not believe it, but this little brother is the original Kogoro Mori.
Amuro smiled and said: "This Conan-kun is a relative of Mr. Mori. He often follows Mr. Mori to various crime scenes. Speaking of which, he is still my senior brother."
Xiaoxun hesitated: "But Conan-kun is not Miss Furukawa's brother..."
Furukawa Kumisa blinked without changing his expression: "Yes, actually, the famous Maori detective and I are also related."
...In short, I finally convinced the housekeeper and the maid to let Edogawa Conan check the kitchen.
After they left, Furukawa Kumisa turned his attention to the other people present.
"If you have a 10-yuan coin with you, you can take it out and test your fingers and dinner plates - just in case the murderer put poison on a shared object and someone accidentally eats it."
She remembered that there were similar murder cases in Conan plots, where poison was placed in places where everyone would touch it, and then the deceased's special habits were used to kill the deceased.
When it comes to matters of life and death, few people would object. At least Kaori Gobaikawa and Shoyasu Sansankusa followed her instructions.
On the other hand, the boss, Amakusa Shuntai, looked at Furukawa Kumisa, "tsk" impatiently, and spoke with great certainty.
"I never touch things that others have touched, so there's no need to check."
Furukawa Kumisa didn't have a good impression of Boss Ba, and he was criticized one after another, so he immediately laughed.
"That's okay. When the time comes, the funerals of Master Juntai and Master Youtai will be held together, which will save the funeral parlor trouble."
Toru Amuro, who was next to him, couldn't help but laugh out loud - as long as the target is not him, it's still very interesting to see Furukawa Kumisa quarrel with others.
The aloof boss seemed to have never been so "transgressed" by anyone. He immediately slapped the table and stood up with a bang: "You!"
Just when Toru Amuro was about to step forward and block Furukawa Kumisa, he heard a soft voice stop Amakusa Shuntai.
"Brother, the police lady is also kind-hearted."
The one who spoke was Amakusa Shotai. He picked up the tablecloth on the table and wiped the coins in his hand: "My coins are for brother. I have already wiped them. Don't mind, brother."
He was obviously on her side to help her, but Furukawa Kumisa looked at Amakusa Shotai and suddenly instinctively felt that something was a little strange.
Being persuaded by his younger brother, and since it was indeed a matter of life and death, Amakusa Shuntai snorted and took the coin from his younger brother's hand: "Is that okay?!"
Furukawa Kumisa shrugged: It's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die, but she warned her anyway, if something goes wrong, the worst they can do is collect another corpse.
The results of the test were unexpected. There was no poisonous reaction on anyone present or on the cups and plates - that is to say, the poison was accurately administered to one person, Amakusa Yuyasu.
Edogawa Conan, who went to investigate the kitchen over there, also came back to the restaurant. He shook his head at the two of them. It seemed that no poison reaction was found in the kitchen.
The three of them frowned at the same time: This is strange. There is no poisonous reaction anywhere where the food and Amakusa Yutai come into contact. Where did the poison get to his hands?
Furukawa Kumisa shook his head: "In short, since we can't judge from the way of poisoning, we can only start from the source of the poison."
Kaori Gomokawa pushed up her glasses and continued her argument - in this regard, she and her employer Shuntai Amakusa were on the same page.
"Does Officer Furukawa mean to search our personal belongings and rooms? - If that's the case, please forgive me for refusing. You are not a local criminal police officer in Hokkaido, nor are you on duty, nor do you have a specially approved search warrant.
There is no right to forcibly search our room."
The boss sitting next to her did not speak, but the look on his face clearly did not agree to search the room.
Furukawa Kumisa did not force herself to reason with this group of people, she just raised her eyebrows and then broke into a sincere smile.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, except for the three of us outsiders in this house, any of you may be the target of the murderer. As for your room... it will be the same if we search it 'afterwards'."
This "afterwards" is put more euphemistically, and it clearly means "after death".
These words were too venomous, but Furukawa Kumisa was not a Bodhisattva in the first place, and she had already had enough of this family's weird people and personalities - anyway, it would not be the three of them who died, she couldn't do it
I rushed to help those weirdos solve the case.
Toru Amuro pulled her arm, seeming to comfort her, but Furukawa Kumisa was furious, so she threw his hand away and looked back at him.
She still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.
"It's okay, Amuro-kun, I know what you want to say, but some things will naturally come to an end when there are almost no people left."
Outsiders may think that what she said means "you will know who the murderer is when the person is almost dead", but Toru Amuro knew that she was talking about the members of the organization.
She was so angry at the family's repeated bad attitudes that Toru Amuro sighed, planning to wait until she calmed down later.
He turned to look at everyone in the room, "Since our investigation of the murder has reached a bottleneck, why not change our thinking?"
His words somewhat eased the tense atmosphere in the hall. The butler, who had been silent for a long time, spoke: "What do you mean, Mr. Amuro?"
Toru Amuro looked at Xiaoxun: "I remember Miss Xiaoxun just said that the mountain road outside was washed away by a mudslide, right? We might as well send a few people to drive to the mountain road to have a look. If we can find a way down the mountain, we should go down first.
To be continued...
