Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 649 Outlying Islands
At this moment, when he heard the commotion at the scene, Conan, who was still in the radio room, realized that the situation was not good, and hurried down.

Looking at Masato Shimizu who had fallen to the ground in the room, Conan couldn't help but froze in place, a little at a loss——

he……

committed suicide

Indeed, my reasoning is not wrong.

In order to clarify the method used to kill Kuroiwa Tatsuji in the third incident, the murderer must take the poisonous needle contaminated with fugu poison from the scene after the incident, but because after the incident, everyone present was arrested by the police. He stayed at the scene forcibly on the grounds of interrogation, and the murderer had no chance to take away the poisonous needle.

Therefore, this has become the only evidence to identify the murderer.

In order to prevent the murderer from having the opportunity to dispose of the poisonous needle as the murder weapon, and it is also the most favorable evidence to identify the murderer, in this case, I chose to expose the truth directly.

In this way, as long as the murderer is under control, all subsequent problems will be solved...

but……

The poisonous needle as the murder weapon is indeed on the murderer himself...

He actually...

So, was it my own judgment that drove him to death?
Remorseful, Conan didn't know what to say next to express his emotions——

If we say that, as a detective, the more difficult it is to solve a case, the more exciting it is, and in the process of chasing the prisoner to the end of the road, you only need to experience this sense of accomplishment once If you just can't stop, so that you can't stop and continue to be a detective, then now...

Is this also caused by yourself?

Obviously, when I was in Hakone Town, when I faced Mai Nishida who threatened Xiao Ran to make me difficult, or when I faced the aggressive posture of the forensic doctor Hatsu Hirata that time, I never felt so like this time. Strong frustration.

But this time, the murderer chose to commit suicide under the watchful eyes of everyone during his questioning step by step. The result...

Lowering his head, Conan clenched his fists tightly and began to tremble a little, as if if time could be restarted, even if the murderer would deal with all the evidence, he would not be in such a hurry as he is now So to infer...

But now, the fugu poison is incurable and highly poisonous, and because it enters the blood circulation directly through the wound, Masato Shimizu is sure to die——

Even though there are still some weak vital signs at this moment, due to the particularity of fugu poison, the toxin cannot cross the barrier of blood cells in the brain, so Masato Shimizu, who is paralyzed and unable to move, will be conscious, in the shackles of the body, dying helplessly...

"So, is this the end..."

Mumbling, Conan said weakly——

"The murderer of the three incidents, Masato Shimizu, died, and at the same time, it was confirmed that the person responsible for the illegal drug smuggling on the island was Hirata Kazuaki... that's the only way to close the case, Officer Megure..."

Gathering his emotions a little, Gao Yuan already understood what happened at the scene. He glanced at Conan, who was downcast at the moment, and Gao Yuan couldn't help explaining to Police Officer Mumu.

Regarding this, Police Officer Mumu could only sigh helplessly——

Now that the matter has come to this point, with the murderer's suicide, all the truth can only be settled here.

In this way, after the police obtained the results of the autopsies of Ken Nishimoto and Hideo Kawashima from the Metropolitan Police Department, the forensic doctor confirmed two things——

One is that Ken Nishimoto had never taken illegal drugs before, so as the first time he took a large dose of illegal drugs, this led to Ken Nishimoto's death.

And this can just rule out the inference that Ken Nishimoto died accidentally because of an overdose of prohibited drugs.

As for the second point, Hideo Kawashima has very slight traces of being controlled by others. Combined with the police's later investigation, he is actually a person with good water skills, so he will drown in the sea. This possibility is also very small. .

Therefore, these two points also confirm that the two of them were actually killed.

Since then, the police have found a lot of prohibited drugs in the homes of Hirata Kazuaki and Kawashima Hideo, so the police and people from the Narcotics Control Department naturally arrested Hirata Kazuaki.

As for the follow-up development, as Gao Yuan and others who have already boarded the ship and left the island, they no longer care about it——

"So, Mr. Zhizhi went out to investigate at that time, did you find anything else?"

On the boat on the outlying island, leaning against the railing of the plywood, Conan looked at the endless sea with a sad face, and slowly asked Gao Yuan beside him:

"Could it be that with the death of Masato Shimizu, many doubts will never be resolved?"

"Is there any way..."

A little helpless, Gao Yuan also looked at the sea, and replied lightly:

"After all...you only have one life, and when you die, you can't speak again..."

After hearing this, Conan became even more depressed and remained speechless for a long time.

As for this, seeing Conan's reaction like this, Gao Yuan remained calm and deeply moved, recalling the last thing he did last night before leaving——

"So... should I call you..."

With the death of Masato Shimizu, and the context of illegal drug smuggling on the island has been gradually clarified, when the incident should have ended here, standing in front of the police station on the island, looking at the only person on the island, that When the old policeman was around, Gao Yuan couldn't hold back his curiosity when there was no one else around, so he asked the old policeman——

"Aso Keiji!"

As soon as he said this, the old policeman's expression didn't change much. He just lingered on Gao Yuan for a while under his glasses, and then he yawned as if nothing had happened, and turned back to the policeman. On the duty seat of the department, without saying a word——

"Although it seems that you didn't do anything in the whole thing, the key point is that the words you told Conan, among the clues that let the Maori detective finally solve the truth, you may be trying to force us to suspect Hirata and Akira. body, so I told a lie——

"That is, since Kawashima Hideo and Hirata Kazuaki chose to trade illegal drugs through the hidden opening of the piano, it is obvious that they do not need to deliberately meet frequently in the community activity center, and even to avoid suspicion, they have no Go to the piano room of the community activity center to pick up illegal drugs and cash at different time slots.

"In their position, how could it be found that there is a close connection between them?"

Although the old policeman didn't say a word, in the face of such an inquiry, the other party didn't even ask back, so Gao Yuan couldn't help but continued——

"But compared to this, the thing that makes me most incomprehensible is actually the sheet of music left by Keiji Aso, which has been preserved from 12 years ago to the present...

"Among the content mentioned above, there is one thing that makes me feel very inconsistent——

"That is, if according to the interpretation on the music score, when Keiji Aso communicated with the four people in the illegal drug smuggling transaction, they used the same music score code to communicate, then why, before Keiji Aso died, did he still use Such a code writes such a musical score——

"Couldn't he be worried that this sheet music will not only end up in the hands of his children, but there is a risk of being discovered by those four people?"

With a serious expression, Gao Yuan murmured as if he was asking himself a question...
