Chapter 59
Furukawa Kumisa opened the door and rushed downstairs. He was thinking that something might have happened to Amakusa Shotai, whom he had just rescued, when he saw everyone in chaos in the hall.
The accident happened this time to the boss, Toshiyasu Amakusa. He was convulsing all over and fell to the ground with foaming at the mouth. His secretary Kaori Gomokawa squatted next to her and tried to give first aid.
The maid Xiaoxun stood outside covering her mouth and was at a loss. The scream just now should have come from her mouth.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor - it was the third child, Xiang Tai, and the head nurse, Ueda Nobuko.
They seemed to be the same as Furukawa Kumisa, who had just arrived after hearing the sound.
Edogawa Conan knelt aside, holding the pulse of the deceased's wrist, stretched his hand to the tip of his nose, and listened to his heartbeat.
"Quick, you're still breathing! Get some help!"
Kaori Gomokawa is very qualified as a personal secretary, and she has obviously learned first aid knowledge. Her postures for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration are very standard, and she tried her best to save her.
And Nobuko Ueda, who was originally the head nurse of Mr. Shouchang, also rushed over and cooperated with the rescue.
But Amakusa Shuntai's condition never improved.
The main door of the hall suddenly opened, and the butler Amuro Toru and Hiranuma rushed back from the garden.
Toru Amuro took a look at Amakusa Shuntai's condition: "Does he have any emergency?"
Furukawa Kumisa has also come downstairs and took a look at his appearance, which indeed seemed to be symptoms of a serious illness.
Butler Hiranuma thought for a while and shook his head: "No, the eldest young master has been in good health since he was a child and has no emergencies."
Even though everyone tried their best and the professional medical nurse Nobuko Ueda helped rescue him, Amakusa Shuntai's weak breathing gradually calmed down, and finally stopped, and he died.
Edogawa Conan, who was sweating profusely after rescuing him, lowered his hands dejectedly.
Ueda Nobuko lifted the sweaty Liu Hai from her forehead, raised her hand and glanced at her watch: "At 13:58, rescue efforts failed, and death was confirmed."
Gobaikawa Kaori fell to the ground: "How, how could...President..."
Furukawa Kumisa didn't make a sound before, nor did he squeeze in to cause trouble for them. Instead, he stood on the outside and saw the situation clearly.
She thought about Amakusa Shuntai's state before his death, and asked thoughtfully: "Did he have epilepsy?"
It was Butler Hiranuma who answered her. He stepped forward, closed Amakusa Shuntai's eyes, and spoke in a sad tone.
"No, the eldest young master has been in good health since he was a child...he doesn't have any diseases..."
Furukawa Kumisa held her chin in thought: "The way he looked at the end, if it wasn't epilepsy, it could only be..."
"Poisoned." Toru Amuro said calmly.
Edogawa Conan stood up and wiped his sweaty forehead with his hand.
Suddenly a white hand reached out to the side and touched a napkin.
Edogawa Conan turned around, and Furukawa Kumisa was holding up his hand to signal him: "Wipe it."
His eyes lingered on Furukawa Kumisa's face for a moment, then he silently took the tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
——I wonder if it was Furukawa Kumisa's misunderstanding. Compared with the previous stage when Kudo Shinichi was testing her, since he confirmed her true identity, she has become more timid and no longer as coquettish and coquettish as before.
Instead, it seemed like an invisible barrier had arisen between them.
Furukawa Kumisa couldn't say whether this sense of distance was good or bad.
The system's prompt rang in the ears at the right time: "Congratulations to the host, the favorability of the target Kudo Shinpair to the host has increased by 2 points. The current favorability of Kudo Shinpair to the host: 72 points, and the total favorability points gained by the host: 87 points."
Furukawa Kumisa's heart began to bleed as he listened to the final settlement points.
——After decades of hard work, one day it dropped by a hundred points.
She sighed, but then remembered something: "By the way, system, if I dispel Kudo Shinichi's suspicion later, can the favor I have gained from him now be combined with the 70 points?"
"Theoretically, it's not possible."
Furukawa Kumis paused: "Why?"
"Because all Kudo Shinichi's favorable impressions of the host are based on his favorable impression of the character in the fourth life of the host. Now the host can favor Kudo Shinichi as 'Furukawa Kumisa' because Kudo Shinichi has both of them in his heart.
An equal sign is drawn.
"And when Kudo Shinichi confirmed that the host was just 'Furukawa Kumisa' and not a fourth-generation character, the host's favor using the identity of 'Furukawa Kumisa' naturally didn't count."
Furukawa Kumisa only felt a headache, forget it, people can't be too greedy, as long as she can get her 70 points back.
While Furukawa Kumisa was distracted by a private chat with the system, Amuro Toru and Edogawa Conan were already at the control site investigating the case.
Toru Amuro's voice sounded a little surprising: "Are you sure that Amakusa Shuntai didn't eat anything after breakfast?"
It was Xiaoxun who answered, and she seemed to think for a moment: "Yes, yes, Master Juntai and Miss Wubaichuan have been processing documents in the hall since breakfast. I have been cleaning the hall all morning, so I know very well...
…”
After saying that, she paused: "But, but I made tea for them..."
After saying that, everyone followed her gaze and focused on the teapot on the low table.
There is black tea brewing in the transparent teapot. It is the finest tea with good color and aroma, but the cups placed on both sides are clean and there is no trace of use.
Gomokawa Kaori also slowly recovered from Amakusa Shuntai's death: "Yes, we didn't drink."
——After all, the previous second young master Amakusa Yuyasu died of poisoning, so the remaining people should be more cautious about the tea and food they eat.
But in the end, there was no escape, and Amakusa Shuntai died of poisoning.
Thinking of this, Furukawa Kumisa was startled, and then he reacted: "Has the poison been found?"
A rather calm female voice came from the corpse at her feet. Ueda Nobuko stood up and said, "It's not cyanide."
Ueda Nobuko's words confirmed her thoughts, and Furukawa Kumisa had already expected this: "...Indeed, judging from the symptoms of Master Juntai and Master Yutai after being poisoned, they are different."
Toru Amuro also nodded: "Cyanogen chemicals are fatal. Even if the intake is very small, there will be very obvious discomfort reactions. But looking at Master Juntai's reaction, it seems that from the onset of poisoning to the final death, there are
It’s been a long time.”
Gohyokawa Kaori's voice was still a little wavy, but she still nodded and agreed: "Yes... at least it took five or six minutes."
Furukawa Kumisa pondered: "In other words, Master Juntai and Master Youtai were poisoned by two different poisons?... And since Master Juntai did not ingest any more food after breakfast, how did the poison enter him?
physical?"
No one could answer her these two questions.
In fact, the weirdness of these two cases goes beyond these two points, but Furukawa Kumisa couldn't say much at the moment, and just looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"Now that a second victim has appeared, and two completely different poisons have appeared, I think it is imperative to search for the source of the poison. What do you think?"
The boss, Shuntai Amakusa, who opposed the "housing search" the most, was already lying there. His secretary, Kaori Gohyakawa, just sat silently aside, without speaking, as if by acquiescence.
A gentle voice came from behind her: "This is the key. Officer Furukawa, please."
When Furukawa Kumisa turns around, it's the old Sankusa Shoyasu, a man whose presence is extremely low in any situation.
Just like last night, his brother's death didn't seem to bring any shock to him. He still stood aside quietly like a ghost, as if there was no trace to be found.
Furukawa Kumisa inevitably looked at him a few more times, and he did not dodge Furukawa Kumisa's gaze. There was no guilt in his expression, he just looked back calmly.
The two people's eyes were anxious in the air. Furukawa Kumisa did not reach out to take his key, but just looked at him steadily.
Amakusa Shotai's hand holding the key froze in the air, and was finally taken by another hand stretched out horizontally.
Toru Amuro took his key and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Xiangtai."
This broke the weird atmosphere between Furukawa Kumisa and Amakusa Shoyai, and Furukawa Kumisa turned his eyes away.
Among the remaining people, Xiaoxun and the housekeeper Hiranuma naturally had no objections. This time, the thorn in the side was Ueda Nobuko.
She leisurely lit a cigarette and sat down on the sofa: "I don't agree."
Furukawa Kumisa rubbed her forehead: "Don't Miss Ueda hope to find the murderer of Master Yutai?"
Furukawa Kumisa tried to persuade her by using her lover as a raft, but she blew out a smoke ring and said in a very senseless manner: "It doesn't matter, at least I got the inheritance."
Gomokawa Kaori suddenly said: "Inheritance?"
Ueda Nobuko raised her lips and smiled: "Yes, before I have time to tell you, just the day before yesterday, Yutai and I have obtained the certificate and become a legal couple - so now in this manor, I am also one of the legal heirs of the old man's inheritance."
She glanced at Kaori Gohyakawa, who had a very ugly face, and said provocatively: "Miss Gohyakawa doesn't look so good. Are you regretting not catching Master Juntai as soon as possible?"
Gomokawa Kaori pursed her lips and said nothing, but stared at Ueda Nobuko with a fierce look in her eyes.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out between the two, Toru Amuro stepped forward and tried to divert attention: "Can you give us Miss Gobaikawa's key?"
Gobaikawa Kaori put away her fierce gaze and glanced at Toru Amuro: "Just ask the housekeeper and Xiaoxun."
After a lot of lobbying, everyone except Ueda Nobuko had the keys in their hands.
Furukawa Kumisa and Amuro Toru took Edogawa Conan upstairs for "ward rounds". When they stepped on the stairs, they turned around to remind everyone on the first floor.
"Two people have died from poisoning. From now on, everyone should be careful."
Her eyes finally flickered on Amakusa Shotai's face, then she turned and went upstairs.
The second floor of the winery is the guest room, and the third floor is the members' housing. After stepping onto the third floor, Toru Amuro only spoke after making sure that no one below could hear their conversation.
