Conan: The Heart Thief

Huiyuan Ai also looked at Lin Xiao with suspicion: "Brother Lin Xiao, you didn't join the entertainment industry just to take advantage of girls?"

Lin Xiao said, "It's Suzuki Ayako. She is now actually running Suzuki Films and pulled me in to help her. As for unspoken rules or something, I won't do such a thing."

Xiaolan was surprised: "Sister Ayako is developing the entertainment industry?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes. Ayako is interested in this area. If you are interested, Xiaolan, I will go and say hello to Ayako."

Xiaolan shook her head: "I can't do that. I'd rather be an ordinary person."

Yukiko was a little interested: "I'm bored at home every day, can I join Suzuki Films?"

Lin Xiao said indifferently: "If Sister Yukiko is free, of course it's OK."

"Then I'll think about it." Yukiko was tempted. Lin Xiao couldn't accompany her every day, and she felt lonely when he was not around, so she had to find something to do.

Lin Xiao gently stroked Huihara Ai's head: "Xiao Ai wants to be a child star, that's fine too."

Huiyuan Ai refused: "I'm not interested in being a woman who shows up in public every day."

At this moment, a waiter from the next table came over with a cart. On the cart was a dish, a roast duck that was glittering with oil!

Kawabata Shiro turned his head, smiled, and said, "Ah, finally here! The Peking duck in this restaurant is the best."

Ito Kiden approached Kawabata Shiro and asked quietly, "Don't you think the beauty at the next table looks familiar?"

Kawabata Shiro turned his head, looked at Yukiko again, and said, "No way, you want to say that she is the once popular Fujimine Yukiko?"

Kitaura Kyogo said, "That's not right. I heard that the actor retired from the entertainment industry after getting married. How could he appear here?"

Ito Kiden said: "If a legendary actress like Fujimine Yukiko plays our play, it will definitely be a big hit..."

Isohei Hizo, who was eating with him, looked up at the chandelier above his head and said leisurely, "What a pity! If that girl hadn't died, she might have become a legend like her."

Isosuke Uehara's words made the other three people look very unhappy.

Kawabata Shiro shook his head and said unhappily: "Okay, stop talking about these irrelevant things, let's eat quickly, and then discuss where to find a suitable actor."

Suddenly, Kawabata Shiro stood up with an extremely ugly expression, his hands tightly covering his neck, his forehead covered with cold sweat, saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth, he groaned, and fell directly on the table.

"Ah!" Xiaolan was frightened by Kawazuishiro's appearance and quickly threw herself into Lin Xiao's arms. "What happened?"

Lin Xiao looked towards the next table and saw Kawazuishiro looking horrible, obviously having died of poisoning.

"Yukiko, call the police."

"Ah."

Because someone died, no one had any appetite to eat, and most of the diners in the restaurant left.

The police arrived quickly, and it was Officer Shigeo Yokomizo.

"The victim is Shiro Kawabata, 46 years old, said to be a film producer, and the cause of death was asphyxiation caused by cyanide." A policeman read out the information with a notebook.

"Really? Increase taxes on people who sell cyanide." Officer Yokomizo, who had a shaved head and looked unhappy, said unhappily, "Where did the recent criminals get this stuff from?"

As a subordinate, I really have nothing to say when it comes to complaints about my boss.

Inspector Yokomizo complained and frowned slightly, "Did this person eat anything before he died?"

"Yes, Peking duck," the police officer replied. "According to the waiter, she had the seizure right after she ate it with her hands."

Inspector Yokomizo curled his lips and said, "The last dinner was Peking duck, it was very expensive!"

The police officer continued, "But no poison was found in the Peking duck, and the waiter didn't know about cyanide. I think the deceased might have had cyanide on his hands before eating the Peking duck."

"I see," Inspector Yokomizo said, "In that case, the murderer who smeared poison on the deceased should be among those of you who ate with the deceased."

Chapter 373 Pretty girls all like scumbags

Lin Xiao said to Inspector Yokogawa, "Inspector, since you have identified the criminals, can we, the irrelevant people, leave now?"

Inspector Yokomizo hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Just as Lin Xiao was about to leave, Inspector Yokomizo said, "Wait, Detective Lin, do you think I don't recognize you? As a famous detective in Tokyo and a top expert in solving crimes, please stay and assist me!"

Lin Xiao said: "Uh... Inspector Yokomizo, you really have the nerve to lose face."

Inspector Yokomizo said helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. Without detectives, we criminal police are useless."

Lin Xiao agreed: "What you said makes sense, this is very scientific!"

Lin Xiao began to recall the Detective Conan cartoons he had watched before. He had some impression of this case. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a policeman running over.

"Inspector, we found a container that may contain poison in the restroom of this store."

"What?" Inspector Yokomizo was startled and quickly looked at the bag in the man's hand. After thinking for a moment, he said, "So that's it. He took the hand towel to the toilet and poisoned it!"

Lin Xiao interrupted, "No, let's not worry about whether there is a way to change the hand towel without letting anyone notice. I just want to ask a question."

"what is the problem?"

"I just want to ask, is the table definitely not poisonous?"

"Of course, any toxins were detected. Detective Lin, are you suspicious about something?" Inspector Yokomizo said honestly.

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, hooked his finger at Inspector Yokogawa who was looking at him in confusion, motioning them to come closer, and then asked in a low voice: "Including... that place?"

Inspector Yokomizo was stunned and asked, "Why are you so suspicious?"

"Answer my question first."

"Ah, it is stained!" Inspector Yokomizo whispered, "There is an obvious light brown stain on it. It should be the soup, right? You also said before that Mr. Kawabata spilled soup on his pants and wiped it with a towel. The stain should have been stained at that time."

"So, the thing that was fatal to the murderer is still there?"

"Detective Lin, what are you talking about? Please explain it clearly."

Lin Xiao said calmly: "Since you don't understand, let everyone sit back in their previous seats and do it again."

Haibara Ai, Yukiko, and Xiaolan were also staring at Lin Xiao with curiosity. They seemed unable to believe that Lin Xiao knew the murderer without doing anything.

"Well, first of all, the people who were sitting at the table with the victim at the time of the crime, Mr. Ito, Mr. Isogai, and Mr. Kitaura."

"Uh... okay." Isosuke Hirozo, Kitura Kyogo, and Ito Motoden all nodded and agreed.

Lin Xiao turned his head and looked at Inspector Yokomizo, and said, "Inspector Yokomizo, please sit in the victim's seat."

After everyone was in place, Lin Xiao said, "Obviously, the problem is with this table."

Inspector Yokomizo said puzzledly: "But the forensic personnel checked and found no poison anywhere on the table..."

Lin Xiao said: "No, there may be poison somewhere, in a blind spot that we can't see."

Inspector Yokomizo became more and more confused the more he listened, and asked, "Detective Lin, just tell me directly, who is the criminal? Where is the poison?"

Lin Xiao didn't say it directly, but just asked: "How do you usually turn this table?"

"What?" Inspector Yokomizo was stunned.

"How do you turn the turntable on the table?"

"Just put your hands on it and turn it around!"

"So, what if that's the case?" Lin Xiao said, pulling the plate of crab scrambled eggs and preserved eggs to the side, very close.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the only way," Inspector Yokomizo said as he reached out and said, "Grab the outside of the turntable with your hands..."

At this point, Inspector Yokomizo was stunned, his eyes suddenly widened, he took a breath, and said, "I understand, there is poison under the turntable?"

Inspector Yokomizo said again: "Wait, it's very difficult to let Mr. Kawabata touch here..."

"It's not difficult," Lin Xiao said, "As long as these two dishes are dishes that the murdered Mr. Kawabata hated to eat, it would be easy. If he didn't even want to look at them and was extremely disgusted with them, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Inspector Yokomizo was stunned, and turned to the others for confirmation: "Is that so?"

"Yes," Ito nodded and said, "Mr. Kawabata is allergic to eggs."

After confirming this, Lin Xiao continued, "Then, next we need Inspector Yokomizo to confirm one thing. Where was the chili oil when you were sitting in front of the victim with these two dishes."

Inspector Yokomizo looked at the chili oil on the turntable and said, "It's like this in front of Mr. Kitaura. Then why does the table turn back when you take the soy sauce?"

"The reason is very simple," Lin Xiao said, "In order to prevent Mr. Kawabata from touching the poison, we didn't apply poison there, but medicine won't work. Moreover, the poison and medicine must be applied slightly before the Peking duck is served. If it is applied too early, someone might accidentally touch it."

Inspector Yokomizo understood and said, "Maybe he saw the waiter serving Peking duck and smeared poison on the turntable between the two plates. In other words, when you have soy sauce in front of you, the people in front of the two dishes are..."

Inspector Yokomizo said this and started turning the turntable.

Lin Xiao also looked up at someone and said, "That's right, that person is the one who poisoned Mr. Kawabata tonight, Mr. Isoue, that person is you!"

Isosuke Haizo's face changed drastically, his lips kept trembling, and he couldn't utter any words.

Inspector Yokomizo glanced at Isohiro Hizo and said sternly, "Iso Hizo, do you have anything else to explain?"

Isosuke Haizang silently pushed his glasses up, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then said, "If it wasn't for revenge for Lihua, I wouldn't do this."

"what?"

Isosuke Hirozo's words, or to be more precise, the name in his words, made Kitura Kyogo and Ito Kiden stunned.

"Lihua?" Kitaura Kyogo asked in surprise, "The one who died a year ago..."

Ito Kiden also said hurriedly: "But, that was a filming accident."

"No, it wasn't an accident," Isosuke Hirozo said with a gloomy face. He crushed the cigarette in his hand and said in a deep voice, "It was a complete murder. The stuntman who was supposed to play the last scene was replaced by Lihua, and Kawabata knew it."

"Really?" Ito Kiden was shocked.

"Yes," Isosuke Haizo nodded and said, "Liva told him that she wanted to act in the last scene of her own film, and he said he did it to fulfill her wish. Because of this, he failed miserably, and in the end he just smiled faintly. He had so many chances to stop!" As he spoke, Isosuke Haizo's hands began to tremble with anger.

Looking at Isosuke Uezo, Ito Kiden and Kitura Kyogo both fell silent.

After a moment, Ito Kiden asked: "But why? The director said she was a complete layman and looked down on her!" Didn't Isso Kaizo always look down on that girl?

Hearing this, Isosuke Hizo sneered and said, "Silly, it's fate that makes you a director. You keep looking at the camera lens and become fascinated by the heroine. No matter how bad an actor that girl is, if you don't understand this, you will be an assistant director for the rest of your life."

At this point, Inspector Yokomizo patted Isohei on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go back to the police station and talk about the rest."

Lin Xiao glanced at the three women who were amazed by his reasoning show, smiled faintly and said, "It's time for us to go back."

Xiaolan's eyes were full of love. Lin Xiao was so handsome! Shinichi kept saying how smart and powerful he was. Now it seems that Shinichi is still too young, too simple, and sometimes so naive.

Yukiko was also shocked by Lin Xiao's intelligence. A certain novelist who claimed to be a famous detective was no match for Lin Xiao! She really regretted that she was not born 20 years later so that she could have known Lin Xiao when she was young.

Xiao Ai's impression of Lin Xiao has changed greatly. Although he is a scumbag, he is smart and handsome, and is really suitable to be a boyfriend.
