Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 420 Identity of Broker
"Such a fast poisoning speed?"

Gao Yuan frowned slightly, and said in doubt, then leaned in front of the deceased, took a light sniff, and indeed smelled a hint of bitter almonds——

Cyanide?
In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at the unfinished can of coffee on the coffee table——

Sure enough, if you want to further confirm the clues at the scene, it is best to let the police come to the scene to investigate...

However, just Izumo Yukino's performance...

Although she didn't think she was the murderer, her behavior of not wanting to contact the police before solving the case was too suspicious.

So, after thinking about it, Gao Yuan said to everyone:
"I don't need to call the police, but I'm just a detective after all. I don't have the professional investigation capabilities of the police. I can't guarantee that this incident will be solved. If I can't solve the truth about your manager's murder within an hour, no matter what I will call the police no matter what!"

Saying that, Gao Yuan looked at Izumo Yukino with a serious expression, and Izumo Yukino was silent for a moment, and finally clenched his fists, pursed his lips, nodded involuntarily, and agreed with Gao Yuan's statement.

"Then, within this hour, everyone present should not leave this room, and do not touch anything in the room..."

Gao Yuan looked around at the people present, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional——

That is to say, after pushing the door open, no one yelled to attract others, otherwise he would definitely not agree to Izumo Yukino's request.

But... Izumo Yukino...

Thinking of this name, Gao Yuan couldn't help recalling the case he encountered a few days ago, the deceased Mizutani Yukino who was suspected of being a member of the organization. Her false identity was the name "Izumo Yukino"...

At that time, I thought it was just a coincidence of the same name and surname...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan shook his head, temporarily dismissed the idea, and asked:

"Aren't there three of you in your group? And that lady named Chiyo, do you know where you went? And... the can of coffee your manager drinks, did he buy it himself?"

Asked in this way, Bai Mu Shiyin thought for a moment, then lowered her head, and replied with some lingering fear:
"I remember... when I left to find you guys... Chiyo was still in the room... and this can of coffee... I remember Chiyo and I went to buy it from the vending machine in the hallway before we went on stage Come..."

"I bought it from a vending machine..."

Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help thinking for a while, then looked at Izumo Yukino and asked:

"Do you know where Miss Chiyo went?"

According to Kashiwagi Shion, before she went out, the girl named "Chiyo" was still in the room, and she left after Kashiwagi Shion went out, and Izumo Yukino had never left the room, so she couldn't help asking .

"She seems to have gone to the toilet..."

Izumo Yukino lowered her head and replied in a very depressed mood.

"Is that so..."

Gao Yuan thought about it, and then looked at Baimu Shiyin:

"Miss Kashiwagi, can I trouble you to find Miss Chiyo?"

In this regard, Kashiwagi Shiyin looked at Izumo Yukino who she was comforting, thought for a while, then nodded, and then asked Tie Zhuyu to help take care of Izumo Yukino who was depressed——

"Zhu Yu, I'm sorry to trouble you."

After finishing speaking, seeing Tie Zhuyu nodded and came up to support Izumo Yukino, Kashiwagi Shion went out to look for Usami Chiyo.

In this regard, Gao Yuan first asked the few people present to stay aside and take a good rest, then took out his mobile phone, used the camera function, and took pictures of the scene for the time being.

After finishing this, Gao Yuan put away his mobile phone, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, then started to pick up the can of coffee and checked carefully——

According to Izumo Yukino, the deceased died of poison after taking a sip of coffee, so it is very likely that the poison was dropped in the coffee.

However, according to Kashiwagi Shiyin, this can of coffee was purchased from a vending machine in the corridor, and logically speaking, it was impossible to poison it in advance.

So in this way, there are nothing more than two possibilities——

First, the murderer knew that the deceased would drink this kind of coffee, so he prepared coffee with poison in it in advance, and deliberately bought a can of the same coffee from the vending machine in advance, but when handing it to the deceased, he replaced it with poisoned coffee.

The second is that after the deceased opened the coffee can, he poisoned the opened coffee.

If it is the first case, then the coffee can that should have been sealed should be able to find evidence of poisoning into the coffee-for example, pinholes or something.

But after Gao Yuan's careful observation, no similar holes were found on the coffee cans.

From this point of view, the poison should have been injected after the deceased opened the coffee can.

Thinking like this, after a while, Kashiwagi Shion hurried back to the lounge with Usami Chiyo, and Usami Chiyo burst into tears after seeing the agent who died on the sofa, and slumped on the ground burst into tears.

Seeing this, Baimu Shiyin hurried forward to comfort her.

And Gao Yuan put the coffee can back to its original place, stepped forward and asked:

"You... are Miss Chiyo? You bought that can of coffee?"

Hearing this, Usami Chiyo, who was in tears, covered her mouth, nodded silently, and then continued to be immersed in sadness, without any more reactions.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan looked at the three beautiful girls in the room who were wearing the same singing costumes and wearing sword-shaped brooches on their chests, and said involuntarily:
"Now, in order to unravel the murder of your manager, as a detective, I would like to ask the three ladies in your group...but I need to ask you about the situation individually, is that okay?"

Regarding this, Usami Chiyo, Izumo Yukino, and Kashiwagi Shion couldn't help but nodded, so Gao Yuan said to Tie Zhuyu on the side:
"In this case...Miss Zhu Yu, please watch them in the room, and don't let them touch anything at the scene."

After all, without the intervention of the police, the only person I trusted most at the scene was Tie Zhuyu.

"Ok."

Nodding seriously, Tie Zhuyu responded.

So Gao Yuan said to Baimu Shiyin and the others:

"You three ladies, come out one by one...Who will come first?"

"I'll come first."

In this regard, Kashiwagi Shiyin, who was relatively stable in mood, said first.

Therefore, Gao Yuan and Baimu Shiyin walked out of the room first, came to the corridor, and started to ask—fortunately, the location of this lounge is really remote enough, and there are no other artists' lounges nearby, as long as Keep a good voice, it shouldn't attract the attention of others——

"Miss Baimu Shiyin, let's make a long story short... As for your manager, can you introduce him to me first? I remember that it is the result of your manager's hard work that you can participate in the performance here today, right?"

Gao Yuan asked first.

Regarding this, Kashiwagi Shiyin nodded and said seriously:
"That's right. Our manager's name is Shinji Sakano. He takes great care of us and often helps us win some performance opportunities. We are very grateful to him."

"You...don't have any conflicts with him?"

Gao Yuan asked.

"Contradictions? How come!"

Hearing this, Kashiwagi Shiyin immediately retorted:

"Mr. Manager is very kind to us, whether it is in life, practice or work, he takes care of us very much. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have such a good opportunity. How could we have conflicts with him?"

While listening to Kashiwagi Shion's answer, Gao Yuan also took out his mobile phone and began to search for information about "Shinji Sakano", hoping to see if he could find information about him on the Internet.

As a result, Gao Yuan soon found a big piece of news——

Shinji Sakano seems to be the son of a certain entrepreneur, a rich second generation!
