Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 90 Ai: How should I explain this?
The answer is yes.

Kogoro Mouri won't fall asleep until he finds a 'scapegoat'.

"Mrs. Kono, do you have anything to say?" Kogoro Mouri asked.

"This bottle fell off you just now when you were struggling with Mrs. Takada."

Mrs. Kono remained timid and said softly, "Mr. Mori, do you have any evidence?"
Besides, I'm just an ordinary housewife; where would I get cyanide from?

Mrs. Kono's pitiful appearance is very distinctive.

“Just check the fingerprints on the bottle,” said Kogoro Mouri.

Mrs. Kono's expression remained unchanged.

Inspector Megure nodded and instructed Takagi to collect Mrs. Kono's fingerprints.

Mrs. Kono was very cooperative.

“Chōzō, didn’t you receive fingerprint training? Take a look,” Inspector Megure said.

"it is good."

Choso made a rough comparison between the fingerprints extracted from the glass bottle and Mrs. Kono's fingerprints.

His brows were furrowed deeply as he looked at Kogoro Mouri with a puzzled expression.

Is Mrs. Kono the scapegoat you've put forward?
But the fingerprints don't match.

Chosoka shook his head and said, "The fingerprints don't match."

Mrs. Kono watched this scene timidly, not daring to speak.

“Then let’s compare it with Mrs. Takada’s fingerprints?” Kogoro Mouri continued.

"what do you mean?"

Takada started to lash out again after hearing Kogoro's words.

"Do you think I poisoned Takada? I was at home when he died, how could I have come here to poison him?"

Megure glanced at Sato, who then came over helplessly and said, "I hope you will cooperate."

"No!" Mrs. Takada responded strongly.

Choso walked over with a cold face and, ignoring Mrs. Takada's resistance, extracted fingerprints from her fingers.

After a simple comparison, their eyes lit up.

“A perfect match,” Choso said.

"You're a forensic doctor, how can you compare fingerprints!" Mrs. Takada yelled at Choso.

"I've only received some training," Choso said modestly. "You can wait a moment."

Once we've compared the information using optical instruments, you'll be permanently imprisoned.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Takada shouted. "So what if there are my fingerprints on it? I didn't have time to poison it."

Inspector Megure looked at Kogoro Mouri again, seeking his help.

And Kogoro Mouri never let him down.

“Because you were poisoned by Mrs. Kono,” said Kogoro Mori. “The scratches on the deceased’s throat were probably not just his own. There should have been pieces of Mr. Takada’s skin under Mrs. Kono’s fingernails.”

Mrs. Kono raised her hand and looked at her fingernails.

Sato stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Kono's arm, and indeed found some debris under her fingernails.

She gently took the contents out.

"The test results will be out soon, are you still going to try to deny it?" Sato asked Mrs. Kono.

“There’s no need to make excuses,” Mrs. Kono said.

"So, you're going to admit your crimes?" Sato asked.

Sato looked at Mrs. Kono's expression and wondered if Takada's death really had nothing to do with Shoichi.

'Kogoro Mouri' continued, 'I see scratches on the victim's lips, which must have been done by Mrs. Kono, right? And you poured the cyanide directly into the victim's mouth, didn't you? You didn't put the cyanide in the food.'

Mrs. Kono shook her head and asked, "I'd like to know, what crime would it be if someone ordered another person to commit murder?"

"Instigating someone to commit murder will be considered instigation, and instigating others to commit crimes will be punished as principal offenders."

Mrs. Kono nodded and took a small tape recorder out of her pocket.

"This stuff has such a strong smell, how could anyone put it in their mouth?" Mrs. Kono shook her head.

Then I pressed the play button on the recorder.

Mrs. Takada's voice came from the tape recorder, which contained a conversation in which Mrs. Takada instructed Mrs. Kono to find an opportunity to poison Takada.

The cyanide was also given to Mrs. Kono by Mrs. Takada.

"Mrs. Takada said that Takada only wanted my body. As long as he still wanted me, he would keep delaying giving me compensation."

"As long as I kill Takada, she will return the full compensation to me," Mrs. Kono said.

She looked at the corpse on the ground and smiled.

"The restaurant he chose is in a good location. It makes it easy for me to make advances on him without being seen, and it also makes it easy for me to pour poison into his mouth."

She knelt weakly on the ground, no longer having the strength to defend herself.

Inspector Megure sighed and had Sato help her up.

Then he turned to Mrs. Takada and said, "Then, please come with us to the police station as well."

"I'm not going! It's just a recording. I was just saying it in anger. I didn't give that little bitch any poison!" Mrs. Takada said.

"Your fingerprints are still on that bottle," Inspector Megure said sternly.

With a wave of his hand, several police officers came forward and subdued Mrs. Takada.

Mrs. Takada struggled and cried out, "This is blatant disregard for human life! The police and detectives are in cahoots, arresting people arbitrarily!"

Inspector Megure, his face dark, told Takagi to take him away immediately.

Meanwhile, the lousy TV program was still running, and the person introducing the program happened to be Inspector Megure.

"Inspector Megure, an outstanding police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, is upright, incorruptible, and enforces the law strictly."

"He and Kogoro Mouri are the most compatible partners in Tokyo. One searches, and the other catches. They never let a bad guy go."

"..."

Inspector Megure looked utterly exasperated.

Why does this lousy show feel like it's subtly mocking him?

Finding the murderer was described as conscripting soldiers.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Takada became even more agitated and shouted, "The Metropolitan Police Department and detectives are arresting someone to take the blame! They're bullying a widow who just lost her husband!"

"Get her to the car right away." Inspector Megure waved his hand, and Takagi and another officer forcibly shoved Mrs. Takada into the police car.

After a long commotion, they finally managed to take Mrs. Takada away.

"Chōmō, the body is now in your care," Inspector Megure said.

“No problem.” Chosokabe nodded.

Before getting into the car, Sato still couldn't help but keep his eyes on Masakazu.

Ai finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the murder case resolved.

It's finally over, and the contents of the bottle have been saved.

"So, what exactly is in your bottle?"

Xiao Ai was startled and looked up to see Zheng Yi staring at her with a curious expression.
