Chapter 267 The Panic Caused by Chocolate
The banquet had been eaten for more than an hour. Although everyone was full, it was still not over, and they were still sitting at the table chatting. Concubine Eri seemed to remember something and said to Xiaolan: “By the way, you came just in time, please send this back.”
Both Lin Yao and Xiao Ai looked over curiously, and saw that Concubine Eri took out a box of chocolates from her bag and handed it to Xiao Lan. Xiaolan took the chocolate and asked suspiciously, “What do you mean by sending it back? Who is it for?”
“Who else can I give it to? Of course it’s for your dad.” Concubine Eri replied.
Xiaolan was surprised, “Mom, do you want to give Dad a gift?”
“What did I give him a gift? He gave me a gift!” Concubine Eri corrected, and then said very stiffly: “It’s just that I don’t want to accept his gift, don’t think I’ll forgive him by giving me some chocolates.
Lin Yao was surprised that the concubine Eri had already received the chocolate “Nine Sixty”? Why so fast?
“What? Is it from my father?” Xiao Lan looked at the box of chocolates in her hand in surprise. Conan also felt very strange, that old man actually gave his wife chocolate? The sun came out from the west!
Concubine Eri nodded and said: “Yes, although he didn’t write his name, he must have given it, because he knows that I like to eat this brand of chocolate. I guess I apologize for the dinner that day, hum! I don’t accept the apology. Woolen cloth!”
Xiao Lan suddenly felt that what he was holding was not chocolate, but a hot potato.
This is a gift from my father to my mother! But my mother asked me to return it to my father. What should I do? One side is the father and the other is the mother. Xiaolan doesn’t want them to be in conflict.
“Mom. Since Dad gave you a gift, you should accept it, Xiaolan advised.
“Hmph, the gift is stuffed directly into the courier box, and no one can even see it. I don’t want to accept this kind of insincere gift!”
Xiaolan thinks it makes sense, what did Dad do? At least someone should show up when you give a gift, right?
“Otherwise.. I’ll call my father, can you tell him yourself?” Xiao Lan didn’t want to offend any party, so she could only make this decision. You can discuss whether to accept it or not. At most, I’m just an errand.
Concubine Eri frowned, she didn’t want to call Kogorou, but she could see Xiaolan’s embarrassment, and it seemed that was the only way. So Xiaolan called Kogorou, and the other side picked up the phone soon.
“Hey, Xiaolan, why are you calling me? I’m busy!” Kogorou asked, sounding like they were playing mahjong. In order to let the concubine Eri hear, Xiaolan turned on the speakerphone, and the sound of the “horn” on the phone also reached everyone’s ears.
Everyone heard a black line. Are you busy and have time to play mahjong?
“Dad, mom is next to me now, let her talk to you.”
Concubine Eri had blue veins on her forehead, she said angrily to the phone: “I don’t like the chocolate you gave me, I will let Xiao Lan take it back and give it back to you, that’s it!”
“Huh?” Kogorou asked, “Wow! Did you make a mistake? Chocolate? When did I give you chocolate? How could I give you chocolate!
Concubine Eri feels that the other party is desperate to face and refuse to admit it, so he laughed twice, “Aah! It’s okay to sneak in when giving gifts, but now I ask if you dare not admit it? It seems that you are more insincere than I thought. .
“Hey! I really don’t know what chocolates. When did I give you chocolates? Isn’t it fragrant if I have the spare money to drink two glasses in the tavern? Did your little lover give it to you? “Kogorou asked without showing any weakness.
Concubine Eri’s body exudes a chill, Xiaolan is afraid that they will fight, and hurriedly shouted: “Dad! Don’t talk nonsense!”
“I’m not talking nonsense, I really haven’t delivered chocolate. I’m going to work, don’t disturb me! Erbing!” Kogorou hung up the phone directly, Lin Yao Xiaoai and Conan’s mouth was cramping.
Can’t you just hang up the phone and call “Erbing”? You seem to be insulting our IQ…
The phone has been hung up, Concubine Eri is still angry, Lin Yao coughed twice, reminding: “Although Uncle Mouri’s words sound very angry, but he doesn’t seem to lie, is it true that he didn’t give the chocolate? ”
Concubine Eri also thought of this possibility, “But, who else would he be? There is no need for others to give me chocolates for no reason? And it’s still anonymous.
Give chocolate anonymously.. Conan had an ominous premonition and hurriedly shouted: “Is there any problem with this chocolate?”
“Is there a problem?” Everyone was taken aback, and then the word poisoning appeared in everyone’s mind by coincidence…
As a lawyer, Concubine Eri has naturally learned about many poisoning cases, and her face changed slightly.
After thinking of this possibility, she didn’t care so much, so she opened the chocolate directly and checked it carefully. But there is nothing wrong with the naked eye, and there is no wrong smell.
Seeing this, I suggested, “There is a pet shop nearby. Why don’t you buy an animal and test it?” The easy way is to eat what seems to be poisonous.
Of course, the task of tasting cannot be done by humans, only animals can be used for testing.
“Good idea!” Agasa Hiroshi applauded upon hearing this.
Xiao Lan said, “Wait! This is chocolate. I heard that animals are poisoned by eating chocolate.
Hiroshi was taken aback, frowned and said, “Yes, I have also heard about this. Animals are poisoned when eating chocolate, so we can’t tell whether the toxicity comes from the chocolate itself or the additional poison.”
“No, it’s okay.” Xiao Ai explained to them: “Animals are poisoned when eating chocolate. That’s because of the caffeine and theobromine in chocolate. This substance was originally evolved by plants to poison animals. Humans ate it. It’s okay. It’s because humans have a strong tolerance for these two substances.”
“According to the calculation that there are 0.6 to 0.8 grams of 3.1 theobromine in 100 grams of chocolate, humans need about 7500 grams of chocolate to be poisoned at one time, while small dogs will be poisoned if they eat about 250 grams of chocolate, and rats are about 25 grams. So as long as the amount is controlled well, the toxicity of the chocolate itself can be avoided in the test.”
When Xiao Ai finished speaking these words, the people around her were already sluggish.
Xiao Lan looked at Xiao Ai in disbelief, “You… why do you know so much?” Xiao Lan has an inexplicable sense of familiarity. By the way, it seems that Conan often says a lot of unpredictable things like this. .
“I see it in the book.” Xiao Ai didn’t panic at all.
Agasa Hiroshi looked at Xiao Ai, and then at Conan. She was shocked and unbelievable in her heart. Why did this little girl give me a feeling similar to Shinichi?.
