But what method is able to achieve this?
"Officer Sato!"
Just as the three were lost in thought, a police officer from the forensic department ran over with a report.
"The results of the tests on the stain you asked us to analyze are out."
Chapter 75 Chris's Gossip
"Okay, please."
In a corner of the meeting room, Kuroba Kaito took the report from the Forensic Science Department and watched the Forensic Science Department officer leave with a smile.
He had indeed asked the forensic department to analyze the strange stain on President Yamatoda's kimono, but he didn't expect them to act so quickly...
It seems that apart from being not very good at arresting people and solving cases, these policemen are quite capable in other aspects...
"Officer Sato, what's written in the report?" Karasuma Ying and Conan asked hurriedly.
"let me see."
Kuroba Kaito opened the report and read out its contents.
"The stain on the kimono is the fluid of a giant crab spider, a spider that lives in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. It is a very fast-moving, but also very timid spider.
The crab spider is a beneficial insect that mainly eats pests such as cockroaches, but because of its long legs and scary appearance, it is not very popular...
So, the fluid on that kimono was from a spider?"
After closing the report, Kuroba Kaito seemed to be lost in thought.
"But why did the spider's fluid appear on President Yamatoda's kimono? Was he attacked by a spider?"
"This is impossible."
Huiyuan Ai suddenly appeared beside the three of them and said in a cold voice:
"A timid spider would never attack a human. I think it is more likely that a human took the initiative to contact the spider."
"In other words, President Yamato wanted to eliminate the spiders in the room, and in the process accidentally got the spider's body fluids on his clothes?" asked Kuroba Kaito.
"No, this shouldn't be possible..."
Haibara Ai rejected him again and pulled out the program brochure for tonight's party issued by Ed Company from behind her.
"It's mentioned in the brochure that President Yamato hates bugs so much that he even changed the theme design of Aide Company this year from butterflies to hearts."
Haibara Ai turned the page of the program journal that recorded this incident and showed it to the three people.
"It is impossible for such a person to kill a spider even if it means getting his clothes dirty."
"So, the spider was actually placed on President Yamatoda's chest by someone else?" asked Kuroba Kaito.
"There are too many suspicious coincidences. This is definitely not suicide." Conan said affirmatively.
"But what method did the murderer use? And during the first wave of fireworks, President Yamato was clearly in the observatory. What on earth was he doing during that time..."
"What are you guys whispering about?"
Suddenly, Chris appeared behind the four people with a glass of red wine and asked with a smile.
[Vermouth?! When did she come? ]
"What can I do for you, Miss Chris?"
Moving slightly to stand in front of the few people, Wu Wanying looked at her expressionlessly and asked.
"It's nothing special, I just noticed something strange, so I'm a little curious..."
Standing next to the four people, Chris pointed at the old butler Shan Qizhe who was talking to Madam San Dong not far away and asked:
"Don't you think that the old butler is a little strange compared to before?"
"strangeness?"
The four of them looked in the direction she pointed, and among them, Kuroba Kaito, who often disguised himself, was the first to notice something unusual.
"Gloves."
"What?" Wu Wanying looked at him in confusion.
"Butler Shanqi's gloves are missing."
After quickly recalling it in his mind, Kuroba Kaito said with certainty:
"I remember clearly that when we were at the meeting, Butler Shan Qi was wearing a pair of white gloves, but those gloves are gone now.
But, is there any problem with this? "
"Come to think of it, this old butler is actually a pitiful man..."
Seeing the four people still looking puzzled, Chris swirled the red wine in her glass and said slowly:
"I have heard a rumor before that Butler Shan Qi's wife seems to be seriously ill and needs long-term treatment. The cost of the treatment is an astronomical figure...
For this reason, Butler Shan Qi has worked tirelessly for the Yamatoda family for many years, and he even often buys birthday gifts for President Yamatoda’s lover..."
"Lover? Do you mean Mrs. Mitsufuyu?" asked Kuroba Kaito.
"Do not."
Smiling and shaking her head, Chris lowered her voice and said meaningfully:
"It's the housekeeper of the Yamato family, Chie Shimizu."
"what?!"
The four of them were shocked by the news at the same time.
"Shhh."
Raising her index finger, Chris signaled the four to keep their voices down, and continued:
“Keep your voice down, this is gossip, few people know about it.
Chie Shimizu is not an ordinary housekeeper. After President Yamatoda's ex-wife passed away, she became the closest person to President Yamatoda.
It can even be said that the two of them are actually a couple in name only.
So, when President Yamatoda married Mrs. Mifuyu, many people were surprised.
After all, before this, many people thought that President Yamatoda would marry Chie Shimizu.
But what is even more unexpected is that after he married Mrs. Mitsuyu, he actually kept his 'old lover' Chie Shimizu by his side as a housekeeper...
Tsk tsk tsk, that’s why men are so greedy.”
"Then Miss Chris, do you know Chie Shimizu's birthday?" Suddenly thinking of something, Kuroba Kaito asked hurriedly.
"Well, you should ask him..."
Chris signaled with her eyes to Shan Qizhe who was not far away.
"After all, the diligent old butler buys birthday gifts for President Yamatoda's true lover every year..."
"Walk."
After giving her a meaningful look, Karasuma Ying walked over first.
"Mr. Shanqi."
"Hmm? Miss Karasuma? What's wrong?" After giving instructions to a waiter, Shan Qizhe looked at several people who were walking towards him at the same time in confusion.
"I would like to ask Ms. Shimizu, the housekeeper of the Yamatoda family, when is her birthday?"
"Uh, Ms. Karasuma, why are you asking this..."
"For investigation purposes, we think she is most likely the murderer of President Yamatoda. Please cooperate and don't hide anything." Kuroba Kaito lied.
"What? Shimizu?! Didn't Officer Megure say..."
"Please cooperate."
"I understand...her birthday should be June 28th." Without asking any further questions, Shan Qizhe answered truthfully.
"Understood, we will continue to investigate, thank you for your cooperation."
After hearing this news, several people turned around and were about to leave. At this moment, Wu Wanying asked casually:
"By the way, Mr. Shanqi, why aren't you wearing gloves?"
"Oh, the composite doll sculpture in the banquet hall was blocking the way. I moved it, but I didn't notice that there was still some wet paint on it, and I accidentally got my gloves dirty." Shan Qizhe replied in a flat tone.
"Oh, I see. I understand..."
Nodding, the corners of Wu Wanying's mouth rose slightly.
Not only her, Conan and Kuroba Kaito also showed the same expression at this moment.
Got you.
Come to think of it, today seems to be Valentine's Day... Hey, fellow readers, do you have a partner? Do you have a partner? Do you have a partner?
Many people don’t have it, right?
Hehehe, don’t cry, I don’t have any writing to make me happy.
Today I added a chapter about Valentine's Day, which is about the organization. It has nothing to do with the main content of this book. It is just a pure extra chapter. I have posted it in the work-related section. If you are interested, you can take a look.
Chapter 76 Thank you, two famous detectives
With the help of Chris's intelligence, the reasoning progressed extremely quickly. With their superb logic, Uesugi Ying and the other two had almost completely restored the entire process of the case.
The only thing to do now is to go to the East Tower again and collect the most crucial pieces of evidence.
After a brief discussion, the three decided to act separately.
"Huiyuan, you stay here, we will be back soon."
At the Sita venue, after saying this, Conan left the venue with Karasuma Ying and Kuroba Kaito who was disguised as Sato Miwako.
Because of "Vermouth", he was worried about Haibara Ai staying alone in the venue.
But if you think about it carefully, because Officer Nakamori has not given up on finding Kidd, there are still police officers everywhere inside and outside the venue.
