Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 139 People's joys and sorrows are not all the same
"As expected of Brother Xia Chuan, I never imagined your reasoning ability was so strong!" Inspector Megure exclaimed with admiration. Come to think of it, every time Xia Chuan provided a clue, it was always spot on. He wondered what Xia Chuan did for a living, that he was so amazing.

Inspector Megure was itching to ask Natsukawa to become an advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department, but he was interrupted by Mrs. Minagawa as soon as the idea came to him.

"That's impossible! It must have been this Yoel who killed Keyan. Everyone saw it just now, right? Keyan was kicked away and died instantly. There's no way to fake that. Even if Keyan was poisoned, the poison might not have taken effect yet."

"Didn't I say the poisoning symptoms only appeared now? Even if it was poisoning, it should have taken effect by now. Therefore, that kick just now was the real cause of Ke Yan's death!"

Mrs. Minagawa insists on insisting that Joel kicked someone, which makes things difficult for Inspector Megure.

"Whether he was kicked to death or poisoned, an autopsy will tell the truth. Mrs. Minagawa is so eager to find a scapegoat, could it be that you are the one who poisoned him?"

"How could this be? Keyan is my own nephew, how could I possibly poison him!"

Lady Minagawa's expression changed drastically, and a strange light flickered in her eyes.

Conan frowned in thought. Originally, his suspects were Sekiya Kaori and Naomichi, but after Natsukawa's words, it seemed that Mrs. Minagawa also had a chance.

He hadn't yet figured out how Sekiya Kaori and Naomichi would poison them, but if the poisoner was Mrs. Minagawa, then her method would probably be related to the coffee and desserts that had been delivered earlier.

But why? Everyone ate cake and drank coffee, so why was only Minagawa Katsuhiko poisoned?

and many more!

Something is wrong!
It seems that Katsuhiko Minagawa didn't eat the cake; he just drank coffee!
if it is like this.
Considering that Mrs. Minagawa had previously forbidden her son from eating sweets, but later, after her son secretly drank Ran's coffee, she changed her ways and fed him sweets, Conan immediately made a judgment.

However, I only learned this from my own experience, so how did Xia Chuan figure it out?

Brother, you've only been at the scene for less than ten minutes, right? Is this how you solve a case? You didn't even find any evidence. How did you discover that the murderer was Lady Minagawa?

“Now, as long as we take the body back to the Metropolitan Police Department for an autopsy, we can determine what kind of poison it contained.” Saying this, Natsukawa looked at Inspector Megure: “Inspector Megure, you should check everything Minagawa Katsuhiko ate, such as the coffee cup and cake on the table. Those must have been prepared by Mrs. Minagawa, right?”

Mrs. Minagawa has been relentlessly pursuing Joel from beginning to end, which is why the coffee cup and cake are still not put away.

Therefore, toxin residue must still be present.

However, even if you wash it, it won't help. Normal dishwashing cannot completely remove the toxins from the coffee cup. You need to use various powerful disinfection and sterilization methods. Otherwise, even if you wash it ten times, residual substances can still be detected.

You can underestimate the intelligence of the Metropolitan Police Department officers, but you can't underestimate the science and technology of the Detective Conan world!
"I see!"

Inspector Megure nodded solemnly and waved for the forensic personnel to quickly take the cup and cake back for analysis.

"However, everyone ate the cake and coffee. If they were poisoned, why are we all okay?"

The burly man who spoke was Toshihide Rasumatsu, a college classmate of Katsuhiko Minagawa. He didn't believe Natsukawa's reasoning at all. If what Natsukawa said was true, then no one should have survived at the scene. How could it be that only Katsuhiko Minagawa died?

Kogoro Mouri had the same question.

Moreover, Xia Chuan must have cheated! The two of them came together, and this guy found a suspect in just a few words, while I haven't even figured out the case yet.

"It might be because we drank coffee and ate cake. Before, Kejun secretly drank Xiaolan's coffee, and Aunt Minagawa, who usually doesn't allow Kejun to eat desserts, suddenly fed him some. This is very suspicious."

Anya found an opportunity to reveal the truth, and sure enough, she felt more confident when her father was around.

Lady Minagawa was so terrifying just now that she was too scared to speak, and only now has she revealed the details.

Conan:
Why did you steal my lines?
This seemingly unreliable little girl actually noticed the same detail as him, instantly halving his sense of accomplishment.

"Yes! I noticed it too. I think Mrs. Minagawa must have poisoned the coffee and put the antidote in the cake. You're Minagawa's aunt, so you must know that he doesn't like sweets, which is why you came up with this trick. This also explains why you fed Kejun cake that he shouldn't have eaten after he secretly drank Ran's coffee."

Conan smiled with satisfaction after making the deduction. He had finally made a contribution; otherwise, he would have truly embarrassed himself as a famous detective.

As someone who experienced it firsthand, I was actually slower than Xia Chuan in solving the case!
That's truly terrifying insight. What kind of work did Xia Chuan do before?

"Now you should have nothing to say, Mrs. Minagawa. Admitting it might even be considered a voluntary confession. Once the forensic team confirms the residual toxins on the coffee cup, your sentence might be increased."

Besides, I have very important things to do today, so I hope you won't take up too much of our time.

Xia Chuan glanced at the time. If he continued to delay, it would probably affect the time he had set aside for cooking.

"Miss Joel, is this your boyfriend? He's so charming and handsome! I'm so envious of you!!"

Sonoko Suzuki asked Joel quietly with starry eyes, "It's such a pity that such a high-quality man was snatched up by Joel."

Speaking of which, should I try to poach someone from the other side?

Although I don't have a figure as good as Joel's, I'm rich! Can't I just throw money at him?

However, this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment.

Putting aside the fact that Suzuki Sonoko isn't that kind of person, just look at the kick Joel gave Minagawa Katsuhiko away.
just forget it.

She was afraid that Yor would hang her up and beat her!
It's a shame about Minagawa Katsuhiko. He has such a handsome face, but I never expected him to be so lewd. He even tried to touch Miss Yole's thigh. I shouldn't have come.

"It's okay~"

Joel's eyes lit up, and his initial frustration was dispelled by Xia Chuan's actions.

It’s so refreshing!

I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person; Xia Chuan was indeed someone I could rely on.

People's joys and sorrows are different.

While the two were quietly discussing Natsukawa's boyfriend-like qualities, Mrs. Minagawa was experiencing a profound inner struggle.

After a long while, Lady Minagawa finally gave up, covered her face, and collapsed to the ground.

“I had no other choice but to do this. My husband’s business is in big trouble and he urgently needs funds to make ends meet, so I decided to take advantage of Keyan’s parents’ inheritance.”

If he had promised me beforehand to entrust his inheritance to me, I would never have done such a thing. It's all Ke Yan's fault.

I'm his aunt, after all, and I raised him for years. He won't even give me this little bit of money. What an ingrate!"

Ha ha.

Conan rolled his eyes. "There are all sorts of birds in a big forest."

The property belongs to Katsuhiko Minagawa. What's wrong with Katsuhiko Minagawa not handing over the inheritance? This aunt is just too much.

It's likely that when Minagawa Katsuhiko's parents died, she had this in mind when she adopted him.
