Conan: Science Cartoonist Kudo Yuji

"Mr. Shinjo, did anyone leave the booth and sit next to you?"

Before Toru Amuro could finish his words, he was strongly refuted by the old man. He pointed directly at Jin Yuanguang, who was standing next to Fujiwara and watching the show, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"It was not until that child mentioned it that I went to sit next door."

Everyone remembers this, because Xincheng expressed his dissatisfaction with Miss Tomoda, so before taking the order and inviting Miss Tomoda to the booth, Jin Yuanguang pointed out that the old man refused to sit with Miss Tomoda, which led to Xincheng sitting next to her.

"Of course, but even if the child didn't ask the question, I think you would have consciously gone to sit next to him. It's just that with his words, you look more like you were driven away." Amuro stared at Shinjo: "This is exactly what you want, isn't it?"

"Ridiculous! Whether I went to sit next door or had to come back from next door, wasn't it all because of what others said? It's like you're saying that all this was a script and that others just inadvertently cooperated with me. Stop joking!"

Shinjo yelled very loudly, but the next second when he saw what Amuro Toru took out from behind his back, his eyelids twitched and he continued to ask Amuro to give an explanation.

"At that time, the booths around us in the store were still empty, so you deliberately sat in a booth close to Miss Maori and observed secretly."

Obviously, they just wanted Amuro to express his opinion, but given the current situation, whether it was Conan, Kudo Shinichi, or even Inspector Megure, they all realized that the blond might have some clues, so they looked at each other and casually walked to the edge of Shinjo to prevent him from attacking in case he was really the criminal.

"Is it wrong for me to sit in that booth?"

"Don't worry, I'll explain it clearly." Toru Amuro walked around the crowd and came to the booth where everyone was originally sitting. He pointed at Mao Lilan and said, "Ms. Mao Li, it's mainly her, little brother Conan, Officer Sato and..."

"Ido Ryu." Kudo Shinichi gave a random pseudonym.

"On the other side are Mr. Hagiwara, the curly-haired man from before, little brother Kanemoto and me, and Mr. Mochizuki in the middle. That's why I said that the booth next to Ms. Mori was carefully designed for you to sit in."

Because Miss Tomoda is more likely to sit on Ran Mouri's side when one side is full of men and the other side is almost full of women.

Of course, if she was someone like Ms. Murakami who didn't care about contact with customers, it would be possible for her to sit next to Fujiwara, but she was not, so it was very easy to judge where Ms. Tomoda would sit.

"As it was getting closer to the evening, when there were more customers, you would of course be asked to come back by other staff members. So at that time, you deliberately took back the tissues and other things from the table next to you. And because you were sitting on our side, you were a little distance away from Miss Mori." Toru Amuro pointed out that Shinjo kept drinking orange wine at the next table because orange wine is Miss Tomoda's specialty in this store. When someone in the store urged her to mix the finished orange wine, she would naturally remove a cover and put it on her cup.

"You mean, Mr. Shinjo poisoned through the cover?"

Officer Megure casually picked up a plastic package that was half the size of his palm from a table, opened it, and held the cover in front of him with some surprise: "This cover is a little transparent."

"What you said doesn't make sense. At that time, these ladies also had the cover on this table. Each table had two. They could have used the one they had at hand. It's not like they had to use mine."

Shinjo retorted, but saw Murakami had a strange expression on his face, while Amuro Toru snorted.

"You must have deliberately taken the cover and tissues from the next booth in front of Miss Murakami." The blond detective looked at Miss Murakami, confirmed that she nodded, and continued to reason: "So when Miss Murakami asked Miss Tomoda to mix the drinks, she also deliberately took the cover that originally belonged to our table from Miss Mori and the others."

"In this way, the only thing on the table is the cover that Mr. Shinjo brought from the next table." Miwako Sato immediately understood after returning to the scene after making a phone call.

Amuro Toru nodded and said, "Ms. Tomoda could only use the cover that Mr. Shinjo brought. When she came back, she took poison and died."

"All this is just your guess and doesn't prove anything." Mr. Xincheng said something very familiar.

"Really? Then you should have two unopened covers from the store on you right now." Amuro Toru pointed at the lining of Mr. Shinjo's clothes: "If you want to replace the ones from the store with ones you tampered with, then you must have covers on you."

"Mr. Xincheng, please let me see the pocket inside your clothes."

Inspector Megure glanced at Takagi Wataru, and the tool man immediately walked to Mr. Shinjo and took out two plastic-wrapped covers from his pocket. They were obviously the same style as the ones in the store, and he held them up for display in front of everyone.

"He did have two flaps in his pockets."
