After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 350 Resurrection from the Dead

Chu Ke's body has disappeared.

Just as Mori turned around to check if there was any cyanide smell in everyone's hands, he disappeared right before their eyes!

For a moment, the entire kitchen was as quiet as a tomb, and everyone stared intently at the ground where the corpse had disappeared.

A moment later, the long silence was broken by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Everyone was startled and turned to look, only to find that Matsushima Banharu, dressed in an evening gown, had fallen to the ground with a look of horror on her face.

"I knew it... I knew it... I knew he wouldn't die so easily!"

As she spoke, Matsushima Wanqing's hands and feet began to tremble, her eyes fixed on the empty space where the corpse had disappeared, and she involuntarily backed away.

"What are you doing!" Sato Seizawa felt that Matsushima Wanqing's behavior at this moment was somewhat embarrassing. Although he was also terrified, he still scolded her.

However, there was an undeniable tremor in his voice.

God knows he only stayed in his office for an afternoon, and so many strange things happened when he came out.

Kogoro Mouri took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, walked to the spot where Chu Ke had disappeared, and reached out to touch it.

Chu Ke's sudden death, Xiao Lan's scream, and then the disappearance of the body after everyone gathered—these events happened so quickly that Chu Ke's body still retained its warmth.

At this moment, the ground that Kogoro Mouri touched still retains some warmth.

What happened before was not a mass hallucination, but a real event.

"Mrs. Sato, please don't panic." Looking at Sato Seizawa and Matsushima Banharu who were helping his wife up, Kogoro Mori tried his best to keep his tone calm: "Trust in science. Maybe this is also the murderer's scheme, to create chaos for us or something."

This statement calmed everyone down a bit, and they felt it made sense.

But he couldn't fool Matsushima Banse.

Because she is the murderer!

I personally diluted the cyanide with water and injected it into the syrup bottle with a syringe. The plan didn't include making the body disappear!

Yes, she did intend to kill, but this was to mislead the public into believing that her poisoning of Sato Seiyu was indiscriminate killing, and to prevent the investigation from going deeper.

It doesn't matter whether the first person to die is Chu Ke or anyone else.

But who knew they'd choose the weirdest one right off the bat...

The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

Meanwhile, Conan went to check on the body the moment it disappeared, but found no clues.

At this moment, she arrived at everyone's feet and suddenly spoke, feigning ignorance, "Aunt Sato, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"

Mori, caught on quickly, pressed on, "Yes, Mrs. Sato, why did you say before that you knew Mr. Chu Ke wouldn't die so easily? Did you know something inside?"

Matsushima Wanqing's eyes widened slightly, her gaze darting away for a moment before she finally spoke, "Actually... I noticed something was off about Chu Ke when I was in the recreation room... no, it should be that thing."

"I suspect that Chu Ke isn't even human!"

Matsushima Wanqing carefully considered her words and slightly modified what she had said before: "Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Chu Ke had already died once in the entertainment room before."

"What!?" Everyone was shocked.

Knowing she couldn't reveal that she had poisoned him, Matsushima Wanqing fabricated a story: "I was in the recreation room when I noticed Mr. Chu Ke's complexion suddenly change after drinking the water. Thinking he was unwell, I went after him to ask him what was wrong."

"But then he suddenly collapsed to the ground, his face turned red and he began to convulse. He stopped breathing shortly afterward."

"I was about to go up and check, but Chu Ke stood up and went into the bathroom as if nothing had happened. I just assumed that he had some old ailment that he couldn't talk about."

Everyone listened to Matsushima Wanqing's words with disbelief on their faces.

"I'll go check on that water bottle." Mori immediately got up and ran towards the recreation room.

Conan, on the other hand, is more suspicious of Matsushima Banharu.

He was the first to notice that Chu Ke's expression was off and followed him, but he didn't see Matsushima Wanqing leave the entertainment room!
This is fabricated.

However, Chu Ke certainly didn't seem to be unharmed at that time... Conan suddenly paused, and after being reminded by Matsushima Wanqing, he realized that Chu Ke's behavior at that time seemed to be the same as the reaction to cyanide poisoning! His face turned cherry red.

And now the other party has also died of cyanide poisoning.

Is there some connection between them...?

Just as Conan was pondering, a loud shout suddenly came from the entertainment room.

"Aaaaaah!! There's a ghost!"

It's Uncle Mori's voice!

Conan was startled. What could possibly make Uncle Mori make such a sound?
----------

Meanwhile, Mori ran all the way back to the recreation room and, after searching around, actually found an uncapped mineral water bottle on a table.

I only drank a few sips of water and left the bottle cap aside.

Mori reached out his gloved hand, picked up the bottle, and sniffed it. Sure enough, there was a faint bitter almond scent.

"It really is poisonous!" Mori exclaimed in shock.

If, as Matsushima Wanqing said, Chu Ke drank the water, he would surely have died of poisoning in the snow-covered mountains.

Who was Chu Ke, the one who escorted them back to their rooms earlier?
Who was Chu Ke, who Conan saw lying in the kitchen, poisoned and still warm, before he died?

With the disappearance of the corpse, a sense of dread gripped Mori's heart.

This was the first time he had encountered such a case in all his years as a criminal investigator and detective!
"Gudu..."

He could hear himself swallowing.

Now, as he looks at those dark corridors, he feels as if Chu Ke is watching him from there...

……

Wait! It's not a feeling, there really is a Chu Ke!

Under Kogoro Mouri's horrified gaze, the person with the same face as Chuko emerged from the darkness.

"Hmm? Why is Mr. Mori still here? The banquet is about to begin."

"..."

"..."

"Aaaaaah!! There's a ghost!"

Chu Ke was startled: "Mr. Mori, what are you saying? Where are the ghosts? Don't scare me!"

"You, you, you, you aren't a ghost?!"

"I?"

Kidd was completely stunned.

What kind of identity did I get this time? How did I become a ghost?

If I remember correctly, I just checked on Chu Ke in his guest room, and he should have been fast asleep.

He was further aroused by the incense he used, so he wouldn't wake up for a while.

and so……

Why did I become a ghost?
----------

Outside the manor, Chu Ke stood outside the window in ghost form, looking at "himself" with barely suppressed emotion.

This manor is getting more and more lively.

Then it's time to move on to the next step.
