After coughing twice, Maori Kogoro continued to ask: "Megurodo-san, where were you and what were you doing before and after the victim was killed?"
"Well, nothing special happened... Just like usual, I went to the cafeteria with Xiaolin and the teacher to eat. Xiaolin finished eating first, so she went to the convenience store to buy a lunch box for Yuto and brought it back to him. When the teacher and I came back from the cafeteria, we found Xiaolin hugging Yuto and crying in the seminar room..."
"Did Sister Suzumura come back alone?" Conan keenly noticed the clues in his words.
"Ah? Oh, yes, Xiao Lin has been helping Yuto bring meals these past two days, so she always comes back first."
"Then why didn't Takasugi-brother go to the cafeteria with you? Is it that you don't want to be with him?" Conan asked again.
"No! It was Yuto who didn't want to! We went together once the day before yesterday, but he has been staying in the seminar room ever since. It's not us who are ostracizing him!"
【Stay in the seminar room and don't leave? 】
When Conan heard this, a strange light reflected from the lenses of his glasses.
After Meguroto, the next person to come in was Suzumura Rin.
"Hello, Suzumura-san." Kogoro Mouri still had that kind smile on his face.
Suzumura Rin has soft facial features and a very gentle temperament, giving people the impression of a standard Yamato Nadeshiko-style woman.
The only thing that makes people feel a little bit out of place is the necklace around her neck. This avant-garde fashion outfit slightly breaks her gentle temperament.
"Hello, Officer Takagi, and Mr. Mori."
Suzumura Rin sat down on the chair opposite and nodded hello to the two of them.
The expression on her face looked very calm, without much of the sadness that comes from "her boyfriend being murdered".
"Suzumura-san, what is your relationship with the deceased?" As usual, Kogoro Mori asked this question first.
"We're classmates, and we're dating..." Suzumura Rin answered directly.
"Well, does that mean they are lovers?"
"Yes, but lately... we've become a little distant."
"What do you mean?"
"We are in the law department here. Originally, Yuu Dou and I both wanted to take the bar exam. However, due to the policy adjustments in the past two years, it has become much more difficult to take the bar exam than before. So Yu Dou gave up on himself and wanted to go Be a detective..."
"understood."
Nodding, Maori Kogoro continued to ask: "Where were you this morning? What were you doing?"
“I came to the seminar room as usual this morning, and Yudou was sleeping on the sofa as usual.
I remember that Yudou woke up once when it was almost lunchtime, but he probably hadn’t gotten enough sleep, so he took some oxygen as usual and continued to sleep…”
"Oxygen after waking up?"
“Well, Yudou has a problem, that is, he always has a headache when he wakes up. It seems that someone at his part-time job taught him that breathing oxygen can relieve headaches, so he developed the habit of breathing oxygen after waking up.
But he seemed particularly sleepy today. He just took a breath, then dropped the oxygen bottle and continued to sleep. We saw that he fell asleep again, so we didn’t call him and went to the cafeteria first…”
【well?】
Suddenly, Conan noticed a detail and asked quickly:
"Sister Suzumura, are you saying that Brother Takasugi dropped his oxygen tank on the ground?"
"Yeah, that's what I remember." Suzumura Rin nodded.
[No! I remember when we first came to the seminar room, the oxygen cylinder was clearly placed on the coffee table!]
At the same time, Takagi Wataru standing by also noticed something unusual.
"That's not right. When the police first arrived at the scene, the oxygen cylinder was clearly placed on the coffee table..."
"Ugh?"
Upon hearing this, Suzumura Rin was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head and frowned slightly.
"Strange, I remember... it seems that after I came back from lunch, the oxygen cylinder... seemed to have been placed on the coffee table. It was clearly dropped on the ground before we left. Could it be that Yuto woke up again during this time?"
【No. 】
Conan's face gradually became serious when he heard this.
Rather than saying that Takasugi Yuto woke up again during this period, he was more inclined to believe that someone entered the seminar room during this period and used the oxygen cylinder to do something to Takasugi Yuto.
Moreover, these hands and feet are most likely the reason why Takasugi Yuto was mysteriously suffocated!
Opposite Conan, "Suzumura Rin" looked at Conan who was lost in thought with a serious expression, and a hint of doubt and surprise suddenly appeared in the depths of her eyes.
[It's this kid again... You look so thoughtful, who are you? ]
"By the way, where's that Kawai-sama? Where did you take her?"
In the car on the other side, in order to ease the weird atmosphere in the car, Vermouth changed the subject.
"I don't know, where could she be?"
Baihe Qing seemed to have returned to normal. He yawned and leaned back in the seat.
"Don't know? Ha..." Vermouth glanced at him, "You don't want to tell me, right?"
"really."
Shirakawa Kiyoshi nodded honestly.
"After all, it's a relatively important matter, and I'm afraid you'll leak it."
This sentence immediately silenced Vermouth.
"Of course, if you really want to know, it's not wrong to tell you."
Changing the subject again, Bai Heqing looked at her and said with a smile:
"Anyway, even if it is leaked, it will be difficult for those people to find her."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, she is not in Japan now. I transferred her abroad."
"Rum's side?"
"That's half right. To be more precise, it was handed over to Hennessy..."
As he spoke, Bai Heqing took out his cell phone from his bag.
It seems like someone sent him a message just now.
who can that be?
Ah, it's rum.
Hennessy, an overseas cadre of the organization, thanks the group members for providing the vest
Ah, this chapter is two chapters in one, the third chapter is included in it (﹃)
Chapter 135 Another day of acting
After some interrogation, Kogoro Mori basically understood what happened.
During lunch break, Takasugi Yuto was murdered in the research room. The first person to discover him was his girlfriend Suzumura Rin who came back to bring him lunch.
Afterwards, Takashi Himuro, who was cleaning the air conditioner in a nearby corridor, rushed over after hearing the noise and called the police. Shortly afterwards, Meguroto and their mentor Shogo Kunimatsu also returned from the cafeteria and together they protected the scene from being destroyed.
During this whole process, Kogoro Mori had noticed a suspicious point.
"I see! I understand it completely now!"
In the temporary lounge, after careful thought, Kogoro Mouri suddenly shouted loudly.
"W-what?!" Takagi Wataru beside him exclaimed, "Mr. Maori, do you already know who the murderer is?"
"Ah, that's not the case yet..." Maori Kogoro touched his head awkwardly and then said seriously, "But I have cracked the murderer's method of killing!"
"Ugh?"
Conan, who was still in deep thought, looked over curiously after hearing this.
[Uncle, could it be that you...]
"The murderer's method is very simple!"
Standing up from his chair, Maori Kogoro said calmly with a confident smile on his face:
"The murderer must have used some special poison to kill the victim. As for the method of poisoning, it was the oxygen cylinder that the victim often used during his lifetime!
That oxygen cylinder was actually a poison gas cylinder that had been secretly replaced by the murderer! As long as they put poison gas that can cause respiratory failure into it and force the victim to inhale the poison gas during lunch break, they can be killed successfully! Wahahahaha!"
"Ha, ha ha..." Conan rolled his eyes dead after hearing this reasoning.
“Is that how you do it?”
When Takagi Wataru heard this, a somewhat puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Maori... We didn't detect any toxic reaction on the oxygen cylinder..."
"what?"
Kogoro Mori's laughter stopped abruptly.
"This is the report that the forensic department just submitted. There is absolutely no toxic reaction on or inside the oxygen cylinder."
"Ah, this, that... I think the murderer should have removed all traces of the poison afterwards! Yes! That's it!
Suzumura and the others mentioned this before, right? After they left, the oxygen cylinder showed signs of being touched! The murderer must have released the remaining poison gas in the cylinder after committing the crime! That must be the case!"
[How is this possible...]
Conan heard this and sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but say:
"Hey, but uncle, the doors, windows and curtains of the seminar room were always closed, right? If the murderer released poison gas into the air, then Suzumura-san, who opened the door first, would have inhaled a small amount of poison gas, right?"
"Um, this, that... ahem." Kogoro Mouri was speechless after being asked by Conan, and could only sit back with an embarrassed look on his face.
Although his reasoning was full of loopholes, Conan did notice one point he mentioned.
It's the oxygen tank.
According to Suzumura Rin and others, before they left the seminar room, the oxygen cylinder was thrown directly on the ground by Takasugi Yuto who woke up and fell asleep again. But when they came back from the cafeteria, the oxygen cylinder was placed safely on the coffee table.
Excluding the possibility that Takasugi Yuto woke up in the middle of the night, the oxygen cylinders in different positions front and back should have some relationship with the murderer. It is even very likely that it was one of the key means by which the murderer caused Takasugi Yuto to suffocate mysteriously.
