Behind him, in the corner of the staff room, standing against the wall, Toru Amuro raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered:
"Kil, is there any response from Regel?"
"I just received a reply that Regler did not make any additional plans beyond our current operation." Rena Mizunashi's voice sounded in the headset.
"That is to say, the murder case in front of me is not part of the organization's plan, right?"
"That's right...did you find anything at the scene?" asked Rena Mizunashi.
“Not yet. What we need to determine now is whether this case is a true accident or the work of that mysterious organization.
If the latter, what is their purpose?"
Listening to his words, Mizuno Rena fell into deep thought and subconsciously whispered: "If it is the latter, let Miyano Akemi be the real murderer..."
【etc! 】
Suddenly, they both guessed a possibility at the same time.
"They want to use this to force Miyano Akemi to leave the amusement park!"
This will make it easier to carry out the hostage-taking operation against Miyano Akemi!
At the same time, Carly, a blonde woman standing at the door of the lounge, was communicating with Mary who was not present.
"It seems that our target is unlucky. Someone wants to frame her as the murderer."
"Is there anything noteworthy at the scene?" Mary's voice asked in the headset.
"not yet."
Carly replied after looking down at a certain elementary school student wearing glasses who was peeking into the room.
"There's just an overly curious kid wandering around here."
"Carly."
Without paying attention to her joke, Mary thought for a moment and quickly gave the order:
"Find a way to confirm the target's identity as the murderer and have the police take her away from the amusement park."
"To facilitate our next hijacking operation?" Carly immediately understood what she meant.
"Of course, if you don't want to do this, that's fine. After the police catch the real murderer and leave, we can act according to the original plan." Mary added.
This behavior of slandering innocent people and letting the real murderer go is indeed not very honorable.
Although Carly is not her biological sister, the child has been adopted by Mary's family since Mary and Shirakawa Kiyoshi rescued her from a terrorist organization ten years ago.
The relationship between the two was extraordinary, and Carly always looked up to her as a role model to pursue.
Mary didn't want to force her to do such an immoral thing if she didn't want to.
"Well, I'll see if there's any chance."
"Well then, Ms. Miyano."
While the two were talking, Megure Juzo had already begun trying to advance the investigation of the case.
"Could you please describe to me what happened in this room before and after Miyamoto-kun was murdered?"
"Yes."
Miyano Akemi nodded and said, "We were all sitting at our seats at the time. To celebrate the successful opening of the amusement park, we wanted to drink some wine after eating barbecue, but we had just finished the wine..."
"Just after drinking, Miyamoto-kun suddenly died of poison, right?"
"Yes……"
"It was you who poisoned the barbecue! That's why Miyamoto-kun immediately... wuwu!"
The female employee who had previously identified Miyano Akemi raised her hands to cover her face and began to cry.
"Ah, Lele~"
But at this moment, Conan, who had sneaked in at some point, suddenly pointed at the barbecue plates on the table and said in confusion:
"It's really strange. There are no names on these plates. How do people know which plate of barbecue is theirs?"
"Of course that's because everyone ordered different barbecues. You'll know when you open them."
Megure Jusan finished explaining with a smile, then his expression suddenly changed and he asked sternly:
"Conan! Why are you here alone? Where is brother Maori?"
[When did this guy come in? ]
When Toru Amuro, who was standing by, saw Conan, he was stunned for a moment.
Why is it that this guy can be seen wherever something happens?
"Ahaha, Officer Megure, uncle is still over at the fountain square. I came here to use the restroom and saw a lot of people gathered here, so I wanted to come in and take a look..."
Touching his head and smiling cutely, Conan made up an excuse and quickly changed the topic to the case.
"That is to say, if Sister Mingmei wants to poison the food, she must know in advance what barbecue Brother Miyamoto ordered. Only in this way can Sister Mingmei find his barbecue on the way and then poison it, right?"
"This...is indeed the case."
Suddenly realizing something, Megure Jusan turned around to look at the employees in the room, frowned and asked:
"Was Ms. Miyano there when you ordered the takeout?"
"No, not here..."
One employee replied: "Because it was not Mingmei's rest time yet, we didn't know she would come back early. Not to mention the barbecue, even Mingmei's lunch box was made by us in the canteen and asked the kitchen to make it for her..."
"So, when Ms. Miyano went to get the barbecue for you, she didn't actually know what type of barbecue Mr. Miyamoto ordered, right?"
After hearing what Megure Jusan said, everyone realized this.
"Yes, it is."
"So Mingmei is not the murderer after all?"
"But didn't the police find poison on Miyamoto-kun's barbecue?"
"Who was the one who actually poisoned Miyamoto-kun?"
"Quiet!"
After shouting loudly to stop everyone's discussion, Megure Jusan coughed lightly and continued:
"This means that Miss Miyano is not the only person suspected of being the murderer. Everyone in the room at the time is suspected of poisoning the deceased!"
"Wait! Officer, we..."
"Ah Lele?"
Just as the room was about to become chaotic again, a certain elementary school student used his power again, pointed at the overturned can of Coke next to the seat of the deceased Miyamoto-kun, and said in confusion:
"Strange, why are there beers next to everyone's seats, but only Miyamoto-san has Coke? Could it be that Miyamoto-san doesn't like drinking?"
As soon as Conan finished speaking, the female employee who had previously identified Miyano Akemi as the murderer suddenly changed her expression.
At the same time, Toru Amuro and Carly, who were paying close attention to the situation in the room, noticed the changes on her face.
[Ha, so you are the murderer? ]
Chapter 377 The murderer's trick
"Strange, why are there beers next to everyone's seats, but only Miyamoto-san has Coke? Could it be that Miyamoto-san doesn't like drinking?"
In the lounge, Conan suddenly pointed this out.
"You're right, little brother."
A male employee immediately explained: "Miyamoto never drinks alcohol. Whenever he is in a drinking situation, he always drinks Coke instead."
"Is that so? Did Miyamoto-nii buy this can of Coke himself?"
"Ah, that's not it. Yami bought the Coke for Miyamoto-kun." The male employee continued to explain.
Yamei, the female employee who had previously identified Miyano Akemi as the murderer, suddenly changed her expression after hearing what the male employee said.
"That's it."
Conan nodded, pointed at the overturned bottle of Coke on the table, looked directly at Yamei, and said:
"In that case, wouldn't Sister Yamei also have the opportunity to poison Brother Miyamoto?"
"Eh?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yamei felt unwell and looked extremely nervous.
"Little brother, how could I possibly poison Miyamoto-kun..."
"Conan, don't talk nonsense." Officer Megure also spoke at the right time: "According to the report of the forensic department, only the barbecue plate of the deceased showed a poison reaction. This can of Coke is normal."
"Yes, Yami is Miyamoto-kun's girlfriend."
The other employees also echoed the same.
"And Yamei drank the Coke after she bought it. If Yamei really poisoned the Coke, how could she still be standing here now? Right, Yamei?"
"Ah? Yes, yes. If there is poison in the Coke, I would be the same as Miyamoto-kun now..."
[It seems there is no chance. ]
At the door of the staff room, Carly, who saw this scene, shook her head slightly and sighed.
The murderer has already exposed his most fatal flaw, and it is now basically impossible to frame Miyano Akemi.
"Ah Lele?"
At the same time, the elementary school student was ready to launch the final attack. He looked at the can of Coke that had been spilled on the table with curiosity and asked:
"Did Sister Yamei really drink this bottle of Coke?"
"Conan, have you discovered anything?!" Inspector Megure quickly asked, keenly aware that Conan was about to make another move.
“Well, it’s on top of this can of Coke.”
Pointing at the can of Coke, Conan looked up at Yamei, whose forehead was already sweating, and said in a cute tone:
"Because Sister Yamei's lips are clearly painted with such red lipstick, but there is no trace of lipstick on the Coke can. This is really amazing. How did Sister Yamei do it? Or..."
