"Actually, it's nothing much, I just noticed some things that shouldn't have been noticed, and I also discovered something very interesting."

With that, she flicked her sleeve, grabbed her hands, and then reached for the lemon tea in Matsumoto Sayuri's hand.

However, Sayuri frowned, a look of despair on her face, and then resolutely decided to drink the beverage with her mouth.

Miyazaki Yu sighed softly, "What a foolish woman."

Just as Sayuri was about to drink the beverage, she suddenly felt her hand go empty; the beverage can had already been handed to Miyazaki Yu.

"It seems Miss Lily has already discovered the problem, but I didn't expect you to be so foolish. Knowing that the other party had ulterior motives, you were still willing to cooperate. Although I don't know what grudges you have, now that I've discovered it, I won't allow this to happen!"

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and poked the can with them. The tin can was as easy as tofu under his fingers, and it was punctured with ease.

Then he used his fingers to pick out a capsule that hadn't even started to melt!

"These are capsules? There are capsules in the drink? Why is that?" Sonoko hadn't realized what was happening yet.

Conan, however, was very perceptive and immediately made a judgment.

"It's poison! There's poison in the capsule! Someone has put poison in Ms. Sayuri's drink!"

Xiaobaihe could no longer hold on and sat down on the ground, causing the groom's expression to change drastically.

"I've been discovered. I'm definitely not cut out to kill."

Everyone present was stunned. Even Xiaolan had come to her senses. Just now, Miyazaki Yu had prevented a tragedy.

If Ms. Sayuri had drunk that beverage, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

He couldn't help but shout angrily, "You bastard, why did you do this! Why did you do this?!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Manager Matsumoto and a group of detectives all came over, and the scene before them took them all by surprise.

After figuring out what had happened, everyone was filled with indignation.

Today is their wedding day, and whether it's revenge or retribution, they actually chose this moment to try to hurt an innocent woman.

"How awful! How could there be such a bastard!"

"A person like you should just die!"

The surrounding police officers were all criticizing the groom, saying that his behavior was too despicable. If Miyazaki Yu hadn't acted quickly, the beautiful girl would probably be dead by now.

Manager Matsumoto could no longer contain himself and charged forward like a furious gorilla, as if he wanted to tear the very thin groom in front of him to shreds.

"Why! You bastard, why did you do this? What did Sayuri ever do to you?!"

At this moment, Matsumoto was filled with lingering fear. He was so close to losing his beloved daughter after losing his beloved wife.

At this moment, Takasugi Toshihiko, who had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, also fell into a state of madness.

"Why? Of course, it's to get revenge on you, you heartless bastard! Twenty years ago, you were chasing a criminal when you ran over my innocent mother. She was alive; if you had just taken her to the hospital in a police car, she could have survived."

But in your pursuit of the criminal, in your desire for glory, you ignored my pleas for help and drove away in your police car. Fifteen minutes later, my mother breathed her last in my arms. From that moment on, I have never forgotten it!

Then, he recounted his experiences: after becoming an orphan, he was adopted by the Takasugi family, until seven years ago when he met the adult Sayuri at university.

Thus, the flames of revenge were rekindled, and he decided to take action to avenge his father with this woman's life.

The Matsumoto manager reluctantly admitted to the whole thing.

"At that time, I was in a hurry to catch the criminal and didn't notice these things. By the time I found out, it was too late. When I wanted to find his family, they had already moved away."

Takasugi Toshihiko said coldly, "Enough! Stop pretending. What I want is for you to regret your actions, for you to wish you were dead!"

The look in his eyes when he looked at Sayuri was devoid of any love.

"In my opinion, you're just a stupid woman. You can't see through my intentions at all, and you still think I really love you! I think you're just after the Takasugi family's wealth, aren't you?"

These words were like a sharp blade, instantly piercing Xiaobaihe's heart, and tears streamed down her face.

Miyazaki Yu said, "Mr. Takasugi, that's enough. You probably didn't feel anything just now, but I saw it all clearly. I noticed you drugging me, and Ms. Sayuri noticed it too. She cares about you a lot; she can see your every little movement clearly."

After discovering your abnormality, she twice tried to drink the drugged beverage, risking her own life to fulfill your wish.

Based on this, it can be inferred that she already knows your identity, but for some reason, she loves you very much and wants to use this method to help you fulfill your wish.

But you are like a coward, unable to face your hatred. You dare not wield the blade of revenge against the powerful Matsumoto manager, but instead use the despicable method of poisoning to harm an innocent girl.

You're nothing but a pathetic wretch using revenge as a pretext to cover up your cowardice and incompetence!

Chapter 187 The Stolen Explosives Depot (3rd Update!)

"Hahaha--"

Takasugi Toshihiko laughed wildly while tears streamed down his face; it was impossible to know what he was feeling at that moment.

At this moment, his ex-girlfriend and bride's best friend, Kazumi Takeuchi, also revealed the truth.

As expected of a police officer's daughter, Matsumoto Sayuri recognized Takasugi Toshihiko long ago, realizing that he was the childhood friend who often gave her lemonades when they were young.

From that moment on, feelings began to flow within her. Now that she knew the whole story, she was extremely conflicted. However, with the encouragement of her best friend, she finally mustered the courage to accept Toshihiko Takasugi's love.

But I never expected things would escalate to this point!

"Yes, I am a cowardly bastard!"

As he spoke, Toshihiko Takasugi covered his face, standing frozen in pain, while the people around him remained silent for a long time.

Just then, Takasugi Toshihiko suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Miyazaki Yu's expression changed: "When he covered his face just now, he had already swallowed the poison!"

In the original timeline, it was Little Lily who was poisoned, and after a series of rescue efforts, she was finally out of danger.

Takasugi Toshihiko didn't get into any trouble, and the poisoning charge seemed to be downplayed and ignored.

Even after some time had passed, he was safely released from prison, reconciled with Sayuri, and held another wedding.

All of this seems simple, but it was actually the best outcome of a multi-party negotiation. Neither the Takasugi family nor the Matsumoto family wanted to escalate the matter, and the Matsumoto manager also felt guilty, so he did not file a lawsuit. Sayuri also forgave the other party, and finally, a satisfactory result was achieved.

But now things have changed. This guy couldn't bear the pangs of conscience, so he took poison. Now, things have become much more complicated.

However, I have followed my heart and done what I should do. How things will develop is unpredictable.

Soon, the ambulance arrived and took the unconscious Toshihiko Takasugi into it.

With this incident, the wedding was naturally canceled. Matsumoto Sayuri's face was filled with depression, her beautiful face etched with sorrow. Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted, and was taken away by ambulance.

Miyazaki Yu sighed. This world is the same for everyone, but he still hoped that this world could be a little gentler on those kind girls and not let them suffer too much harm.

The next day, he, Ran, Sonoko, Rena, and Conan went to the hospital to visit Sayuri, only to hear some terrible news.

Takasugi Toshihiko couldn't be saved and died from the poisoning, which is understandable. Sodium hydroxide that has absorbed water is highly toxic, and even a small amount diluted in a beverage can be fatal. Yet, he swallowed a large chunk of it while repenting.

Even with timely rescue, there was no way to save his life.

After learning this devastating news, Sayuri became extremely depressed and fell seriously ill. She has been transferred to a special care ward and will need special care for a period of time. Even the manager, Matsumoto, has specially hired a senior psychologist to provide Sayuri with regular psychological counseling.

Moreover, due to guilt and self-blame, this tough man, who was as strong as steel, was now extremely haggard and looked much older overnight, which was very distressing to see.

This left the group of people sighing with regret.

"I never imagined things would escalate to this point. That Takasugi Toshihiko... sigh."

Although I really wanted to blame Takasugi Toshihiko for being irresponsible and committing suicide, he was already dead, and there was no point in blaming a dead person. In the end, I could only let out a sigh of relief.

Miyazaki Yu then smiled again and said, "Alright, this matter has come to an end. Takasugi Toshihiko has lived his whole life in hatred. He couldn't deal with hatred properly, which is why he was eventually consumed by it. Miss Sayuri, with your father's love and the help of all of you friends, you will slowly get through this."

Xiaolan nodded in agreement: "Xiaoyu is right. We can visit Teacher Xiaobaihe when we have time, and then we can talk to her together. When the time is right, we can also introduce her to a new boyfriend. That will definitely make her happy."

"what?"

Sonoko nearly collapsed when she heard the last sentence, and everyone else laughed. They never expected that the kind and earnest Ran would come up with such an idea.

Conan thought about it seriously. This idea might actually work. After all, people's emotions need to be filled again after they suffer setbacks.

Suddenly, a wicked thought crossed his mind: "It would be best to introduce Miyazaki Yu to that fierce female teacher as her boyfriend, so that Ran won't slowly fall for him."

Thinking about this, I felt another wave of trouble. It's all my fault for being such an emotional idiot. I should have listened to my mother and started a relationship with Xiaolan earlier. As a result, I've been guarding the flower that grew up with me since I was a child, and I've hardly even held hands with her. Now, she's going to be taken away by someone else!

Moreover, it was taken right under his nose, and he was powerless to do anything about it, only able to watch helplessly, which drove him insane with jealousy.

Back in Beika Town 3-chome, he and Ran parted ways in front of Miyazaki Hayao's gate. After returning to the Mouri Detective Agency, he read for a while, but then got bored and felt uninterested in anything.

So he decided not to read the book anymore. After saying goodbye to Ran, he left and headed straight for Professor Agasa's house. Professor Agasa had watched him grow up and was one of the people he trusted most.

After becoming Conan, the first person he thought of seeking help from was this seemingly chubby inventor. Although most of his inventions were not very useful, the ones that were useful were indeed amazing. Without his help, Conan's story would almost never have happened.

In a dark space, a heavy door that had been sealed for a long time suddenly opened. It was a huge warehouse that had not been opened for a long time. As soon as it was opened, countless dust particles instantly filled the air.

A tall, slender figure wearing sunglasses slowly walked in from outside. His long, thick beard and sunglasses completely obscured his face, making it impossible to see his features.

"Hehe, this is it. The number of these plastic bombs is enough to achieve all my goals. Just wait, Shinichi Kudo, I will definitely give you an unforgettable end."

His eyes flashed with a cold light, a sign of burgeoning murderous intent.

Without hesitation, he took out a package and filled it with bundles of gunpowder from the gunpowder depot. The package was quickly filled with these high explosives containing ammonium nitrate. If they were all detonated, they would be enough to destroy more than a dozen buildings!

After he left, the patrol personnel finally discovered the anomaly in the gunpowder depot and the theft of the Japanese gunpowder depot. They immediately called the police, and the incident immediately attracted the attention of the police.

However, no matter how hard the police investigated, they found no clues, and the matter reached a stalemate.

Chapter 188 Xiaolan's Decision

"Sigh, all these letters are addressed to my father, not a single one is addressed to me. I have to forward these letters to him, it's such a hassle. I, Shinichi Kudo, have been forgotten after all."

As Conan flipped through the letters, he couldn't help but complain.

"Shinichi, stop complaining. Helping your dad handle the fans' letters is a fun experience. Just do your best to do it."

That's true. Conan agreed after hearing this, but his face was still very gloomy.

This worried Dr. Agasa. Shinichi was usually a positive and optimistic kid, and rarely had such a dejected moment, so he couldn't help but worry.

As someone who knows him almost best, Professor Agasa could guess that the reason this kid was so depressed must be related to Ran.

"Shinichi, what happened between you and Ran? You look so down. This won't do."

Conan sighed, unsure how to answer the question. After organizing his thoughts, he finally spoke.

"I can't really describe it. As you know, Xiaolan and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Although I never actively pursued her, we've always had feelings for each other, and I've always considered Xiaolan as..."

There were some things I just couldn't say, so I paused for a moment before continuing.
