Next, Mori Kogoro

Chapter 128 [Chapter 127] No.5
All the members of the homicide investigation section [-] were present, so there was no need to call the police. Officer Megure led his men and started working immediately.

The originally lively and festive auditorium was cleared, police cars blocked the scene, and the police officers carefully surveyed the scene.After all, the victim was the only daughter of his immediate boss, so the police searched more carefully.

Soon, preliminary findings came out.

"...Cyanide was detected in the lemon tea drink found on the floor next to the victim, and capsule fragments were also found. It can be preliminarily inferred that the murderer put poison capsules into the drink, and the victim was poisoned after taking it."

Police officer Mugure personally reported: "And Xiaolan and Sonoko have been filming with the camera, and they happened to take pictures of all the suspects who touched the lemon tea. From the time Kazumi Takenaka bought the lemon tea to the time the victim vomited blood and fell to the ground, A total of four people have touched the beverage can, Kazumi Takenaka, Toshihiko Takasugi, Junji Umemiya and..."

He hesitated, and Kiyoshi Matsumoto said in a deep voice, "And me, I touched that beverage can before."

Police officer Mu Mu hurriedly laughed and said: "Of course, as Sayuri's father, you will definitely not be the murderer."

Kiyomaga Matsumoto shook his head: "No, even if I am Sayuri's father, I still have to treat them equally. Those who need to be investigated must be investigated, and we cannot be special."

Sayuri Matsumoto had already been taken away by the ambulance at this time, and Conan stood beside the human figure drawn with white lines, frowning and thinking.

Obviously, the murderer who poisoned was among the four, but because of the capsule and the time it took for the capsule to melt, it was impossible to determine who was the real murderer.

"It is reported that a suspicious container was found in the trash can outside, and a hydride reaction was detected inside, which should be a container containing poison."

At this time, Takagi's report interrupted Conan's thinking.

"It seems that the murderer threw the container into the trash can outside after poisoning it."

Officer Megure said nonsense that everyone could see.

"But Police Officer Matsumoto, did you go back to see the victim after we left the rest room?"

Kogoro, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Because when we came to the lounge, there was no lemon tea drink in the room."

"Yes, I did come back alone later."

Matsumoto Kiyoshi sighed: "Because I want to confirm Sayuri's mind and whether she is really willing to marry such a weak man."

Everyone heard the words and looked at the groom official Takasugi Toshihiko, and Takasugi Toshihiko's face became very ugly in an instant, his hands clenched into fists, he lowered his head and said nothing.

"So you have a different opinion about this marriage?"

Kogoro continued to ask.

Matsumoto Kiyomachi nodded slowly.

"Then you may have poisoned in order to prevent this wedding?"

Before the words fell, Police Officer Mumu's face changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously: "Maori, what are you talking about, how could Matsumoto Police..."

Kiyonaga Matsumoto interrupted Police Officer Megure's words, nodded to Kogoro and said, "Mr. Mori is right. Based on this analysis, I do have a motive for committing the crime."

"Actually, not only Matsumoto police inspector, but other people also have motives for committing crimes."

Kogoro looked at the other three people: "Ms. Kazumi Takenaka, Toshihiko Takasugi is your boyfriend, right? But in the end he married your girlfriend and good friend. Are you not angry at all?"

Kazumi Takenaka's complexion changed, and she said anxiously: "This incident has long passed, besides, how could I poison Sayuri because of this incident?"

Kogoro ignored her, and said to Meigong Junsi: "Mr. Meigong, as the eldest son of the Meigong society, you naturally don't want to see the teacher you love marrying a wimp you despise, right?"

Junji Umemiya, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, straightened his glasses and said with a smile: "Detective, although I am not reconciled, I will only offer my blessings, and I will never do such indecent things as poisoning. "

Kogoro finally looked at Takasugi Toshihiko: "Actually, among all the people, you should be the most suspected, right, Mr. Takasugi?"

Toshihiko Takasugi trembled slightly, and Kazumi Takenaka seemed to remember something, and covered his mouth in surprise: "Takasugi, is it because of what happened 20 years ago?"

"20 years ago?"

Everyone looked at Takasugi Toshihiko in surprise.

"Yes, Sayuri once asked me to investigate the details of Takasugi Toshihiko, and it turned out that his biological mother died in a car accident 20 years ago because Matsumoto police were chasing criminals."

Before Kazumi Takenaka finished speaking, Kiyomaga Matsumoto also opened his eyes wide, looking at Toshihiko Takasugi in surprise: "You...is that child from back then?"

"Yes, it's me."

Takasugi Toshihiko raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of anger, and he stared at Kiyomaga Matsumoto bitterly: "The prisoner's car you were chasing lost control and hit my mother. At that time, my mother was obviously saved, but in order to arrest him, you Regardless of my calls for help, we left our mother and son behind, and as a result, I just watched my mother die before my eyes."

"I... I didn't know that there was a person under the car at the time. After I heard about it, I went to look for you, but you have moved."

Matsumoto Qingchang said with a gloomy expression: "I admit that I did do something wrong back then, but why didn't you just kill me, why did you hurt Sayuri?"

"When I came into contact with Sayuri, the purpose was indeed to take the opportunity to kill you, but during the years of knowing Sayuri, I was gradually influenced by her, and I found that I really fell in love with her."

Takasugi Toshihiko closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "So the night before yesterday, I took the initiative to find Sayuri and confessed everything to her. That night, we talked for a whole night, and finally I decided to let go of my hatred and try my best to be a good husband. Spend your life with Sayuri."

As he said that, he opened his eyes and said calmly: "So I am not the one who poisoned, and I will not hurt Sayuri no matter what."

"Although you say that, you should come back to the police station with us and accept a detailed investigation."

Officer Megure took out the handcuffs, and was about to handcuff Takasugi Toshihiko and take him away.

There is no evidence, uncle.

Conan, who had been watching silently, felt a little anxious.

If you just reason like this, there are many doubts that cannot be explained, such as the note...

"Wait, Officer Meguro, I haven't finished my sentence yet."

Kogoro reached out his hand to stop Officer Mu Mu, looked around the crowd and said, "Actually, besides these four, there is one more suspect."

"who is it?"

Seeing everyone's nervous and puzzled expressions, Kogoro sighed and said, "That's the victim himself."

Everyone, including Conan, was stunned.

"impossible."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga shouted excitedly: "How could Sayuri commit suicide."

"Of course she didn't commit suicide, but fell into someone's trap."

Xiao Wulang showed the small note, and said coldly: "I was lured by the person who wrote this note, and I took the poison on my own initiative."

After seeing the content on the note, the faces of the bystanders changed drastically.

"No wonder Matsumoto-sensei took the initiative to ask about Shinichi, and he was very excited when he heard that his father came. So that's how it is."

Xiaolan was thoughtful, but at the same time she still couldn't help looking at Conan, and found that Conan, who usually talked a lot, was silent for the first time today.
