Chapter 347 Is being too handsome a fault?
Chu Ke eventually left carrying a bag of broken items.

At this moment, Matsushima Wanqing, who was hiding in the cupboard, finally managed to take her hand down from her mouth. The force of pressing down for so long had left a red ring around her lips.

Seeing that Chu Ke seemed to have really left, Matsushima Wanqing carefully pushed open the cupboard door and climbed out.

Perhaps the previous scene was too shocking, Matsushima Banharu tried to stand up several times but failed, and finally crawled out of the kitchen on her hands and feet.

He then climbed back, took out a handkerchief, wiped away his handprints, and left.

She was certain she hadn't misread it!
This refined and cultured manor owner truly approached the task of processing ingredients with the theme of "same kind."

Memories of the famous horror film Hannibal flooded her mind uncontrollably, and Matsushima Banharu immediately thought of tonight's dinner party.

'No way?'

Just imagining it made Matsushima Wanharu feel like she was about to vomit, so she covered her mouth and fled the kitchen.

Tonight, she absolutely will not touch any meat dishes!

Matsushima Banharu stumbled away from there, and in the shadows behind her, bones and muscles slowly grew out of the air, transforming into the appearance of a young man.

His deep gaze left Matsushima Banharu's back and looked at the crystal goblets on the kitchen counter.

A black phantom with a crocodile-like head emerged from the shadows and handed Chu Ke some clothes.

Chu Ke calmly put on his clothes, walked to the cups, and gently picked one up to examine it.

The cup was clean, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"Wasn't it poured into the cup?"

At first, Chu Ke didn't realize that Matsushima Wanqing had stayed in the kitchen. It was only when he was taking care of his body that he heard a suppressed breathing sound, and that's when he guessed what was going on.

At the same time, he also discovered another use for his alien abilities.

【Teleport】

Yes, Chu Ke was actually quite resistant to death at first. Even with the power to revive, Chu Ke couldn't adapt to the pain before death and couldn't jump into the wood chipper with an expressionless face like Sato in the original work.

Fortunately, Chu Ke's ghost made up for this. He discovered that his ghost seemed to be able to pass through his body tissues and directly touch his brain, causing him to die instantly and commit suicide without pain.

Thus, the perfect teleportation mechanism was born.

If it weren't for the need to deal with the previous corpses, a lazy person like Chu Ke would probably use teleportation as a passive skill.

The teleportation was used to verify if anyone was in the kitchen. By not immediately reviving after death, Chu Ke could use the ghost's perspective, which is equivalent to the fountain's perspective.

Just as Chu Ke was pondering where the poison had been placed, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Chu Ke turned around and met Conan's gaze as he pushed the door open and entered.

Conan froze, clearly not expecting Chu Ke to be there, but the fact that it was Chu Ke made him feel relieved.

He really didn't know how to explain it to anyone else.

"Brother Chu Ke, could you please tell me if all the security guards in this manor are here?"

"Everyone's here, what's wrong?" Chu Ke turned around. This huge manor naturally has its own logistics system for maintenance, with butlers, chefs, security guards, and even gardeners all available, although they don't live in the main building but in a side building not far away.

"I suspect someone will commit murder tonight, and it's very likely to happen at the banquet. Could you call the security guards over?" In his haste, Conan didn't have time to find Kogoro Mouri as a stand-in, so he could only tell the truth.

However, he was prepared for the possibility that Chu Ke wouldn't believe him, and in that case, he would have to drug him himself and use the other person's voice to give instructions to the security guards.

"That wooden bridge today was actually sabotaged!" Conan stated his reasoning to increase the credibility of his words: "This afternoon I actually discovered saw marks on the wooden bridge, and now I finally understand, those are the marks of a wire saw!"

"If you don't believe me, you can check Mr. Sato Seiyu's violin case. If nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be a wire saw with wood chips inside!"

Conan only had some guesses to begin with.

Why did Sato Seiyu, who was so well-prepared, not bring a replacement string? And why were there traces of charcoal pencil marks?

It is highly likely that Sato Seiyu concealed the wood-saw on his person as a spare string, and the charcoal pencil was left as a misleading device to frame Takahashi Mobai.

Conan knows that he must never hastily identify the culprit before uncovering all the motives and clues; this is the bottom line for a detective.

But with lives at stake, he wanted to prevent the impending tragedy.

The reason is simple: Conan overheard the entire argument between Matsushima Bansei and Sato Seiyu.

But because he was too short and stayed in a dark corner, no one noticed him.

Given the artificially created snowstorm-shrouded mountain village terrain and these complex emotional entanglements, this could very well be a premeditated murder!
Although it cannot be guaranteed that it will definitely happen in the end, it is not impossible to ask Chu Ke for help and ask him to send security personnel to protect everyone in advance.

"Okay, I'll contact them via walkie-talkie in a bit."

Chu Ke's answer surprised Conan for a moment. He thought Chu Ke wouldn't trust him and would need some time to explain.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Ke agreed immediately.

"Don't be so surprised. This is my manor after all. I would feel uncomfortable if someone died here." Chu Ke picked up the syrup next to the cup and sniffed it lightly.

This is a lie.

Chu Ke now only wants to find that bastard who poisoned him; he's a man who holds grudges and seeks revenge.

After losing his life, he still wants to walk out of this manor unharmed and happily go to jail.
How can it be?

Chu Ke's biggest suspect right now is Matsushima Wanqing, who just stayed in the kitchen. Although he didn't witness her poisoning the food, Matsushima Wanqing's behavior itself is very suspicious.

However, Chu Ke, as a judge of justice, would not wrong an innocent person. Even if Matsushima Wanqing really did come to the kitchen to poison someone, the poison was not the same kind, so it was possible that it was not the person who poisoned her.

Given the current chaotic situation, it's normal for there to be more perpetrators.

With a slight twitch of the nose, a bitter almond aroma wafted from the syrup.

"It really is you, Mrs. Sato."

But why does it have to be me?
Chu Ke was certain that this was the first time he had met Mrs. Sato, and there was no possibility that they had any prior grudges.

Is being too handsome a crime?
