Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 305 Xiaolan's Suspicion

"Because the poisoned cup happens to be size 16."

Hearing Officer Megure's question, Conan couldn't help explaining.

"What does this have to do with the murderer targeting Miss Gancheng Jiumei?"

The police officer Mumu asked still puzzled.

"Because, according to the original rules of the game, this game has a certain rule of victory."

Conan continued.

"The original rules?"

"Rule of victory?"

Takagi Tsubasa and Sato Miwako couldn't help being interested in what Conan said, so they asked aloud.

"Yes."

Conan nodded and began to explain:
"Originally, there should only be two contestants in this game that led to the killing of Kumi Kanejo. The number of rings that need to be hit is from 1 to 3. After the scores of all players are added up, the person who gets 20 in the end will win. It's the same game of fetching stones that children often play."

"Yeah, as for the game of fetching stones, I used to play it a lot when I was young."

Police officer Mu Mu said reminiscently, but then his expression changed slightly, he looked at Conan speechlessly, and whispered:

"Aren't you a child yourself?"

"Whether it's the game of fetching stones or this darts game, as long as it's played by two people, according to the rules, there is a certain rule of victory."

Conan continued to explain naturally:
"According to the rules of the game this time, as long as the person who can get the number 16 will definitely win."

"Is that the case?"

Takagi nodded in surprise.

Conan immediately nodded and said:

"If two people are playing, then after getting number 16, there are only 4 left. One person can only choose 1 to 3 at a time, so the other person will never reach number 20. That is to say, according to According to the original rules, as long as you put poison in the wine glass No. 16, Miss Kumi will definitely be killed."

"I see."

Officer Mumu and the others said suddenly.

"However, due to the special circumstances encountered today, three people finally participated in the game, so this rule of victory cannot be used. However, since the wine in each school belle's hand was poured before the game started, when the game became When the three of them do it together, the murderer has no chance to replace the poisoned wine."

Conan explained, "That's why Mr. Wise, who got No. 16 in the game, was accidentally poisoned."

"That's right."

Miwako Sato understood Conan's meaning and couldn't help but praise:
"Little friend, you are really not simple."

"Oh, no."

Being praised so much, Conan patted his head proudly and said.

"Wow! Conan is really amazing!"

Xiaolan on the side couldn't help but said in surprise:

"Your reasoning ability is as good as..."

Before she could say anything, Xiaolan couldn't help being stunned, and the scene of when she and Kudo Shinichi encountered the case together from the past flashed through her mind——

"Just like... Shinichi!"

Slightly frowning, this thought suddenly popped up in Xiaolan's mind, thinking of the day when Shinichi disappeared, Conan appeared——

"But...couldn't it be...impossible..."

Although I wanted to comfort myself in my heart, I couldn't hold back this kind of thought ever since it appeared——

"Could it be? Could it be that this child is..."

"That is to say, the murderer knew the final rules of the game in advance, and also knew the winning rules of the game, so in order to kill Ms. Gancheng Kumi, the murderer poisoned the wine on the 16th in advance. But because of an accident, the game The process has changed, so in order to ensure that Ms. Kancheng Jiumei can be killed, the murderer launched another plan, but the 16th, who has already been poisoned, has no chance to deal with it..."

After listening to Conan's words, Officer Megure made an analysis.

"But if you think about it this way, the prisoner's thinking is very rational, and his mathematics should be good."

Miwako Sato analyzed.

"I see! From this point of view, it is indeed a method of killing that only mathematicians can think of!"

After hearing all this, Takagi Sherlock identified Mine as the suspect again, and stared at him with stern eyes——

"You...are you kidding me! Why do I have to deliberately put poison in the wine on the 16th? If I want to kill Kumi, I can obviously put the poison in my own golden cup from the very beginning!"

Feng retorted a little nervously.

"So you didn't just do it in the end?"

Miwako Sato added, "Because the poison that was originally given could no longer be drunk by the deceased due to an accident, so in the end you can only poison directly in your own golden cup, right?"

"Didn't I tell you that!"

Feng roared angrily, "I have no reason to kill Jiumei! If I have to say it, Kyoko on the 16th has the motive! I heard what Jiumei said. And the cup in her hand was detected to be poisonous! Why? Do not doubt her!"

"Is that right?"

Police officer Megure confirmed to Miwako Sato.

In this regard, Miwako Sato looked at the investigation results in her hand, nodded and reported:
"Well, she has a motive for committing the crime."

"What was her motive?"

Inspector Mumu asked.

"She lost to Kanshiro Kumi in today's game and is No. 2. After the game, several people saw the two of them clashing in the bathroom."

"conflict?"

Police officer Meguro asked meaningfully.

"Yes."

Miwako Sato firmly confirmed.

"I see."

After Officer Megure finished speaking, he walked towards Kyoko Sakurai——

"Are you Ms. Sakurai Kyoko?"

"Ah, I am..."

Although Kyoko Sakurai seemed a little shaken, she still nodded at Police Officer Megure and replied.

"Several people testified that they saw you having an argument with the victim Gancheng Kumi in the bathroom."

Officer Megure asked seriously, but upon hearing this, Kyoko Sakurai became a little emotional:
"I... It's natural for me to quarrel with her! It's because Kumi won the championship by using dirty methods!"

Kyoko Sakurai started the topic without hesitation.

"Dirty means?"

Officer Mumu continued to ask.

"kindness."

Sakurai Kyoko said:

"Before the game, Jiumei went back and forth between the various sponsors, either eating with them or going to sing together, and pulled a lot of votes in advance."

"Oh? You can't forgive her for this behavior, so you poisoned her to death?"

The police officer Mu Mu asked sternly.

"how is this possible!"

Kyoko Sakurai hastily denied, but Officer Megure's questioning continued:

"But we have detected the aconitine in your cup."

"What did you say? Uh what?"

Sakurai Kyoko asked blankly.

"It's no use pretending to be stupid! Because you didn't become the champion, you resented Kanshiro Kumi. In order to wash away this humiliation, you killed her!"

Takagi asked with a loud voice.

"Your brain is broken! Stop talking, uncle!"

Sakurai Kyoko strongly retorted.

Hearing this, Takagi She couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and soon became helplessly discouraged:
"Uncle? I'm not a few years older than you guys!"

"Oh? Is that so? Who asked you to wear such a rustic suit, you look like an uncle. If your so-called motive for killing is true, then the 18 people here should all want to kill Jiumei in their hearts!"

Sakurai Kyouko said proudly.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Takagi looked at the other girls in shock, but all the girls avoided his gaze and looked down at the floor.

"Look, no one denies it, it's evidence."

Sakurai Kyouko said with a wry smile:

"Actually, before Jiumei participated in this competition, the competition was fair. After Jiumei signed up, everyone started to use some dirty methods just like her. After all, no one wants to watch themselves lose Lose."

"So that's how it is... But, the only thing that detects the poison residue is your cup."

Officer Megure raised his eyebrows and stared at Kyoko Sakurai and said.

"How do I know what's going on? Anyway, I don't know who handed me the wine glass at that time...At that time, because of the preparations for the game, everyone on the stage stood in a mess."

Sakurai Kyoko couldn't help saying:
"Besides, from what you said just now, the murderer's method requires such a difficult calculation. Is this something I can figure out? It must be Feng who deliberately did it to frame me! This man is very good at darts, but Very famous!"

"Sister Xiangzi, does everyone know that Mr. Feng is good at darts?"

Just when the police were at a loss after hearing what Sakurai Kyoko said, Conan couldn't help asking curiously.

However, Conan didn't notice that Xiaolan behind him was looking at him with serious eyes...

……

On the other side, in the hospital ward, after police officers Chiba and Shinobu asked Gao Yuan about something, they stopped disturbing Gao Yuan's rest and left for the time being.

And Gao Yuan learned from the Chiba police officer that poisonous residues were indeed detected in the No. 16 wine glass.

Regarding this, Xiao Ai on the side couldn't help saying:

"Your guess is right. Fortunately, you only took a sip so the poisoning was not deep, otherwise..."

As she said that, Xiao Ai's voice gradually became weaker, the word "otherwise" was almost silent, her expression became dignified, she glanced at Gao Yuan gracefully, then turned her head quickly, unable to speak the next words.

Regarding this, Gao Yuan couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional:

"Yeah...almost drank it all...almost!"

As he spoke, Gao Yuan suddenly froze.
