Conan's Unscientific Detective

"Drug..."

Although Conan and Xiaolan had expected this, they were still shocked when their idea was confirmed.

Sonoko and Chie seemed a little overwhelmed.

"Who is it...?"

Sonoko was about to say something, but when she recalled what Fujino, Xiaolan, and Conan said yesterday, she didn't continue.

At this time, Qianhui took two steps back, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she stood there in a daze.

"Ms. Qianhui, judging from the current situation, someone must be trying to murder you..."

Fujino turned around and took out his phone. "Personally, I think the smell of this drug is probably pesticide... Do you mind if I call the police and have them come over to test it?"

"what……?"

At this time, Qian Hui came to her senses: "Then let me talk to my husband first..."

"It's better not to tell anyone."

"Until it is confirmed whether this is a harmful substance or who put it there, anyone who did it is a suspect."

Fujino knew that in the current situation, the only person with a motive to commit the crime was Chie's husband, Yoshino Akio.

But even though he knew it, he didn't say it out loud.

He also didn't want to be the bad guy who broke the window paper.

Let's just leave this matter to facts.

"All right……"

Qianhui nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

But some people didn't understand why Fujino didn't let him tell her husband.

After all, it is necessary to tell your husband about such a big thing.

I just thought about it and didn't say much.

She had seen this young man on TV and in newspapers before; he seemed to be a famous detective.

In matters like this, as a flower arrangement teacher, the famous detective Fujino is obviously more professional.

It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.

Fujino called Inspector Megure.

As a half-member of the police force, his words still carry some weight.

Although it was quite important in the past, it was just a favor before, but now it is a public affair.

In response to Fujino's request, the Megure Police Department immediately decided to send a forensic team there.

After all, murder cases like this one, where drugs may have been administered, are certainly within the scope of a forced search.

……

After a while, Miwako Sato and people from the forensics department rushed to the scene.

Fujino explained that they did not drive a police car.

Miwako Sato was wearing a well-fitting suit that highlighted her figure, and she was accompanied by some forensic police officers dressed as decorators.

Without attracting the attention of those around them, they quickly tested what was in Chie's air conditioner: "Advisor Fujino, Officer Sato, the test results of the substance in the air conditioner are out, it is a diluted organic salt pesticide."

Sato Miwako nodded and asked again: "Are you sure it's organic salt pesticide?"

“That much is certain.”

The forensic officer flipped through the report and continued, "Preliminary judgment is that it was mixed with water and sprayed into the air conditioner using some kind of spray device. Although most of it has evaporated, judging by the surface attachments, it should be correct."

"Then this is a case of poisoning."

Sato Miwako was not surprised to hear this.

After all, Fujino had already determined that it was poisoned before coming here...

Fujino's reasoning is usually correct.

"Poisoning?!"

Qianhui was surprised when she heard this.

Obviously, she couldn't understand why someone would poison her.

After all, she had only moved here not long ago...

Sato nodded, having received a dose of vaccination in advance, and turned to Chie and asked, "You should be Chie Yoshino, who lives here and is currently working as a flower arrangement teacher in Shizuoka, right?"

"Ah."

Qianhui nodded and said again: "Besides me, there is also my husband."

Miwako Sato began the routine questioning: "What is your husband's name and what does he do?"

"My husband's name is Mingfu, and he currently works for an insurance company..."

After briefly answering the basic information, Qianhui couldn't help but ask the forensic police officer: "But, I went to the hospital for a checkup before, why didn't I find anything wrong?"

“This is very normal.”

The forensic police officer explained, "These pesticides are diluted, so the smell is not that strong. Inhaling them will indeed cause the symptoms I just mentioned, but after leaving the car, the effects of those symptoms will be alleviated. If you don't conduct a detailed examination of the respiratory tract and blood, you won't be able to find any residue."

Hearing this, Fujino thought for a moment.

I feel that this is similar to his guess.

The strange pulse feeling from before was also confirmed.

Thinking of this, Fujino asked the forensic scientist, "Will this organic salt pesticide cause any harm to the human body?"

"If it is not diluted, then normal people inhaling it in a closed space for a long time may cause death. However, the pesticide detected in the air conditioner this time is diluted. Although it will cause mild pesticide poisoning, it will not cause death."

A police officer from the forensic department explained: "Although it won't cause death from poisoning, if inhaled for a long time, it is very likely to cause dizziness, migraines, nausea, weakness, nerve damage, or even coma. This time it happened in the car. If someone passes out while driving, it would be dangerous."

Conan listened on the sidelines and interjected: "The headache that Miss Qianhui mentioned before, she fell asleep while driving and almost hit us, is it because of these pesticides?"

The police officer from the forensic department nodded in affirmation: "Judging from the adhesions on the surface of the car air conditioner, it must have lasted for a long time, so Mrs. Yoshino would have headache symptoms even when she was not inhaling it."

"If that's the case, then Ms. Qianhui will be in danger..."

Xiaolan frowned: "If she suddenly fainted on the way to Shizuoka, there might be a car accident."

"It seems that the person who drugged me was well prepared."

Sato Miwako pursed her chin and thought, "If Chie suddenly passed out while driving and died in a car accident, then afterwards it would only be considered a simple traffic accident and the air conditioner would not be inspected in detail."

After a pause, she guessed: "If that's the case, then the criminal must be nearby..."

"The criminal definitely wanted to cause a car accident in this way. This is certain. As for the identity of the murderer, we have to catch him in the act to confirm it..."

Fujino interrupted Sato Miwako and turned to look at Chie: "Ms. Chie, you should be giving a lecture at the school in Shizuoka tomorrow morning, right?"

"Um……"

Chie nodded in response, "If I don't have a break tomorrow, I will indeed go to class."

Sato Miwako was stunned for a moment when her speech was interrupted.

She thought that the person who could poison her must be nearby.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to poison people so frequently without arousing suspicion.

What's more, cars are usually locked...

The only possible perpetrator is the male owner of the house.

Thinking of this, Sato felt that Fujino's intention must not be too simple, so he asked doubtfully: "Advisor Fujino, do you have any plans?"

"Well, I do have a plan."

After a pause, Fujino did not intend to reveal the identity of the murderer himself.

After all, for a wife like Chie, it would be unacceptable if her husband was a criminal.

Anyone with a discerning eye could actually guess that the criminal was Mingfu.

But for her, even if she thought about it, she would not think so.

Telling her now would only make things more troublesome.

So, Fujino came up with a plan: "The police officer from the forensic department said that the poisoning was not just once or twice, which means that the criminal has been poisoning Miss Chie all the time, otherwise she wouldn't show symptoms every time she goes to Shizuoka for class. In this case, we can wait and see tomorrow morning."

"Wait and see?"

Mumbling something, Sato Miwako nodded, agreeing with Fujino's plan: "This way, we can catch the other party in the act and seize the tools used in the crime at the same time."

After the plan was made, it was almost dusk in the afternoon.

Miwako Sato returned to the Metropolitan Police Department to make preparations.

Fujino drove Ran, Sonoko, Conan and the others home.

Before leaving, he also deliberately told Qianhui not to tell anyone about this matter and not to show any deliberate behavior.

Otherwise the criminals would obviously discover the police's actions.

Qianhui naturally promised not to tell anyone.

The dual titles of famous detective + police consultant are enough to gain the trust of ordinary people.

On the way back in the car, everyone was silent.

Fujino sat in the driver's seat, driving silently.

Yuanzi was the first to break the silence in the car. She lowered her head and said, "Although I don't know what happened, the one who poisoned Chie-sister should be her husband..."

"Ah."

Fujino responded: "In this situation, he is the most likely suspect."

"Well, from now on, he is the only suspect, and his motive should be the 100 million yen he took a few days ago to help him hit the sales record."

Conan also crossed his arms, feeling a little unhappy: "She went to work at a flower arrangement school in Shizuoka, moved to a new house, and bought an insurance policy worth 100 million yen. Her purpose is too obvious."

Xiaolan also lowered her head, feeling a little disappointed: "If we hadn't discovered it, then Sister Qianhui would have been..."

"Yes, sooner or later her body will not be able to bear it, and she will get into an accident on the highway. Even if she is lucky enough to survive, she will inevitably suffer irreparable damage."

Fujino also said with emotion: "When the time comes, her husband can use the insurance to get a large amount of compensation. Even if he doesn't die, he can get a considerable amount of insurance compensation and then walk away."

"Poor Miss Chie."

Sonoko sighed, and her words were somewhat indignant: "She was such a good person, but that bastard killed her for 100 million yen. It was too much!"

"Fujino-senpai."

Xiaolan looked at Fujino: "You didn't tell her who the murderer was just now, because you were afraid that she couldn't bear it, right?"

"maybe."

Mumbling, Fujino continued, "It's just that we can't just guess blindly when we haven't confirmed who the criminal is yet. Anyway, we will know who the criminal is tomorrow morning."

Fujino did not respond to the angry conversation that followed.

He just looked at the streets dyed red by the setting sun with an unusually calm gaze.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.

Chapter 321 Black Ghost

Yoshinoya.

The night had quietly passed and Chie Yoshino was busy making dinner.

She heard that the medicine Fujino gave her could eliminate toxins from the body...so she made some as well.

But at the same time, she was thinking about the poison in the air conditioner.

"I am back."

At this time, a male voice was heard from the entrance.
