Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 194: Childhood sweethearts are not fun after all
"Go away, you have nothing to do here." Tachibana Seiji exerted a little force and broke free from Matsumoto Sayuri.

"Ran, please help keep an eye on your teacher." Tachibana Seiji said to Ran and continued to stare at Takasugi Toshihiko in front of him.

Ran didn't hesitate at all when she heard that and pulled Sayuri Matsumoto away. Sonoko even went to the other side of Sayuri Matsumoto and held her teacher's hand.

Sonoko and Ran are both very smart, and they know Tachibana Shizuka's personality very well. Now that he is making things so difficult for Takasugi Toshihiko, there must be something wrong!

Tachibana Shizuka has been emphasizing the importance of drinking lemon tea, which was just picked up by Takasugi Toshihiko.

Does this mean that Takasugi Toshihiko just tampered with the lemon tea?
But isn't he Sayuri-sensei's groom? They were supposed to be getting married today!
Takasugi Toshihiko's actions were beyond the acceptance of Sonoko and Ran, especially Ran.

With Conan's help, Xiaolan has seen a lot these days. She has even seen more of the evil side of human nature than the average detective.

There are countless murders of revenge, passion, anger, and impulse. It can be said that all kinds of motives for murder are almost gathered together.

But Xiaolan can understand that an old couple is trying to kill each other because their lives are not going well.

Is it necessary for this newlywed couple to have such a big conflict during their wedding?
Xiaolan looked at Sayuri Matsumoto beside her, and she found that the happiness in Sayuri Matsumoto's eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by sadness and determination.

There was a reason why Shizuka Tachibana asked Ran to hold Sayuri Matsumoto, because Sayuri Matsumoto was a music teacher, and no matter how she struggled, it was obvious that she could not break free from Ran's hands.

As for Sayuri Matsumoto's best friend, Kazumi Takenaka, who was in the room, she was completely confused and couldn't understand what was going on in front of her.

"Asshole, what the hell are you trying to do?! Aren't you afraid of the Takasugi Group?!"

Takasugi Toshihiko's outrageous threat made Tachibana Shizukaku speak out: "What group?"

"Takasugi Group!"

"Takasugi what?"

"Takasugi Toshihiko, you bastard! Are you trying to make fun of me?"

"Hasn't it been obvious enough? I'm just teasing you." Tachibana Seiji was shocked. Is this guy worthy of inheriting the family business?
Old President Takasugi is truly blind.

"Let's not even mention that you haven't inherited the Takasugi Group yet. Even if you did, look at that Suzuki Sonoko, the Suzuki from the Suzuki Group.

I also know the heir of the Ooka family and the only son of the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief. "What are you going to do to me, buddy?"

"Are you qualified enough to fight me?"

Tachibana Shizuka placed the lemon tea on the table and pulled Takasugi Toshihiko over to get a chair. After pushing Takasugi Toshihiko into the chair, he asked:
"Why didn't you call the police? There were so many police officers at the wedding, and your future father-in-law is a management officer of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division.

Logically speaking, it should be more convenient to deal with people like me who call the police to cause trouble, right?
Why didn’t you call the police?”

Takasugi Toshihiko realized that his little action just now was definitely seen by this person, so he just stiffened his neck and said nothing.

"Don't want to talk? Then drink some lemon tea." Pushing the person onto the stool made it easier for Tachibana Shizuka to move.

He held Takasugi Toshihiko down with one hand, and with the other hand he took the lemon tea and was about to pour it into his mouth.

This drink made Takasugi Toshihiko struggle hard: "No, I can't drink it! I really can't drink it!!!"

"Why can't you drink it? If Mr. Matsumoto can drink it, you can drink it too." Tachibana Shizuka's hand slowly but firmly brought the lemon tea to Takasugi Toshihiko's mouth.

Just as the can of lemon tea was about to touch his lips, Takasugi Toshihiko finally broke down and shouted, "Take it away! Take this thing away! I put sodium hydroxide in it!"

After Takasugi Toshihiko finished shouting, the entire dressing room fell silent.

"Sodium hydroxide, you are such a beast." Tachibana Shizuka shook his head, let go of Takasugi Toshihiko, and took the lemon tea in his hand.

Sonoko went to find Manager Matsumoto.

"Sodium hydroxide is commonly known as caustic soda, or caustic soda. This is because concentrated sodium hydroxide solution can corrode the epidermis and cause burns if splashed onto the skin.

It has a protein-dissolving effect and is highly irritating and corrosive (due to its protein-dissolving effect, alkali burns are more difficult to heal than acid burns).

If accidentally ingested, gastrostomy should be performed first, nutrition should be strengthened, and esophageal reconstruction surgery should be performed at least six months later.

By the way, this stuff can also corrode the intestines. Even if you take an overdose and are lucky enough to be cured, you will suffer for the rest of your life."

Tachibana Shizuka explained to everyone present how vicious Takasugi Toshihiko was. This bastard just wanted to make Sayuri Matsumoto die in the most painful way possible.

Even if you survive by chance, you will suffer for the rest of your life.

"Why? Isn't this your wife? Aren't you going to have the wedding soon?"

Tachibana Shizuka helped Xiaolan to ask the questions in her heart. Takasugi Toshihiko, who was panting on the chair, had hatred and viciousness in his eyes.

"Because she's Matsumoto Kiyonaga's daughter! I never thought I'd fall in love with her and marry her just for this day!"

"What's wrong with her?"

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame her damn father! It was because of Matsumoto Kiyonaga that I lost my mother so early!"

Like many other murderers, Takasugi Toshihiko had his own reasons for killing people. The difference between him and other murderers was that other murderers killed themselves, but Takasugi Toshihiko killed Matsumoto Kiyonaga's daughter.

"I see. Besides being a beast, he's also a coward."

"I'm not a coward!" Tachibana Shizuka knew how to make people angry. Takasugi Toshihiko's face was red at this moment, and he looked like he wanted to eat someone.

"You're not a coward. Why don't you seek revenge on Matsumoto Kiyonaga? Because you don't dare, because you don't have the chance.

You know that Matsumoto Kiyonaga doesn't like you, and has never even looked up to you. You will never find a chance to take revenge on Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

You are more afraid of losing everything because of revenge. You cannot give up your current comfortable life, and you cannot give up your current identity."

"You just threatened me to stop calling me Takasugi. You're not after revenge at all. You're just a jerk who takes out his anger on women."

Tachibana Shizuka's face was filled with disdain. Matsumoto Seinaga might have been responsible, but he wasn't primarily responsible. Besides, when it comes to revenge, you either go after the person involved or kill their entire family.

What's the point of just killing someone's child and not doing anything to the enemy?
How dare you shout revenge? The first thing the Beika Town avengers have to do is kill Takasugi Toshihiko.

It's really embarrassing for our peers!
