Chapter 784: Using Soup to Find the Murderer

Since Youya won the rock-paper-scissors game, it was natural for him to make the first move.

He first asked the waiter to bring a large bowl of miso soup, and then served a bowl to everyone present.

Inspector Megure couldn't help but say, "Brother Kamiya, we are investigating a case right now. It's not appropriate to drink soup, right?"

Yuya smiled and said, "Don't worry, Inspector Megure, this is not an ordinary soup, but a magical dish that can expose the Kansai man who pretends to be a Tokyo native."

"Magic... cooking?" Everyone blinked their eyes, speechless.

Suberoli, who ordered curry rice, looked at the miso soup in front of him hesitantly: "This is just miso soup, right?" What kind of magical dish? Did this young detective add something weird in it?

Gan Boheng, who ordered ramen, was also a little skeptical: "Do you really want us to drink this?"

Tojo Sanpei, who ordered mapo tofu but didn't eat it, didn't seem to object: "If drinking this can help me know who the murderer is, then of course I have no objection."

Yuya added: "Remember to take a big sip! Don't worry, I asked the store clerk to pay attention to the temperature, so you won't get burned."

He turned to the others and said, "By the way, come and have a drink, everyone."

Hattori Heiji frowned, wondering what the hell Kamiya was up to, but he still picked up a bowl as he was told.

The others also took a bowl.

Youya secretly winked at Miyano Shiho, who received the signal and although a little confused, she still obediently put down the bowl in her hand.

Conan also anticipated something, so he didn't drink the soup. Instead, he looked like he was watching the fun.

As everyone drank the miso soup, subtle expressions appeared on their faces.

Hattori Heiji, who is the most impulsive, has already shouted: "It's so spicy, what's wrong with this bowl of miso soup!"

Yuanshan Heye also agreed: "That's right, although I heard that the taste in Tokyo is a bit strong, but this is too exaggerated!"

"That's right," Gan Boheng heard what the two said and shouted, "It's so spicy that there's no way I can drink it!"

In an instant, everyone present, except Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha, looked at Gan Boheng with surprised eyes and uttered "Eh?" in surprise.

Hattori Heiji was a little confused: "What's wrong, don't you think it's spicy?" Or do Tokyo people really have such a strong taste?

Sera Masumi said, "No, there is indeed too much salt in this bowl of soup, but rather than saying it's spicy... it should be said that it's too salty, right?"

"Too salty?" Hattori Heiji looked at Sera Masumi in confusion.

Yuya explained: "People in Tokyo would say spicy food like mapo tofu is too spicy, but if it's salty, they would say it's too salty!"

"So, Gumperhen, who just said the soup was too spicy like Hattori and Toyama, and who also said the salty ramen was too spicy, is actually from Kansai!"

Gan Boheng's face changed suddenly.

Hattori Heiji shouted in shock: "What, are you telling the truth?"

Yuanshan Heye was also surprised and asked Mao Lilan: "Wouldn't you say that the taste of sea water is too spicy?"

Mao Lilan smiled and said, "No, usually people would say it's too salty, right?"

Everyone began to look at Gan Boheng with suspicion.

Gan Boheng panicked and explained: "I just accidentally used the wrong adjective just now. Actually, I wanted to say it was too salty, but I heard the guys in Osaka say it was too spicy, so I said it wrong!"

"Yes, yes, and this tone of voice that is added at the end of a sentence is also true!"

Gan Boheng shouted in dissatisfaction: "Aren't you speaking in this tone yourself? Isn't it a common Tokyo accent?"

Yuya spread his hands and said, "People in Tokyo don't speak in Tokyo accent. Only people in Kansai speak in this way."

Yuya turned around and asked the Tokyo people behind him: "Am I right?"

Inspector Megure nodded blankly.

Takagi Wataru was very surprised and said, "Today is the first time I know that adding "la" at the end of a sentence is a common accent used by people in Tokyo."

Mao Lilan also echoed: "Me too, I always thought that the whole country said this."

Youya raised an eyebrow at Gan Boheng, meaning, what else do you have to defend yourself?

Gan Boheng would not give up so easily. He pointed at Tojo Sanpei and said, "Even if my accent is a little strange, isn't that uncle more suspicious? He just said he wanted to order fruit, but he actually ordered a fruit platter!"

Tojo Sanpei said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't sweets just fruits?"

Gan Boheng was stunned.

Tojo Sanpei was also stunned, and looked at Inspector Megure with some confusion: "Strange, don't you call fruit "watermelon"? "

Inspector Megure said: "Although I don't usually say this, I know what it means. On the menus of many restaurants, the last dessert is written as sweets."

Hattori Heiji asked curiously, "Is this also what people in Tokyo say?"

Yuya smiled and explained, "It's a term from the Edo period. Probably only people who have lived in Tokyo for generations would use it this way."

"Hattori thought that Mizuko was a kind of dessert and told the uncle that eating it after a meal would make you fat, so it shouldn't be used this way in Osaka, right?"

Hattori Heiji nodded.

Yuya put his hands in his pockets, looked at Gan Boheng and said: "So, no matter from which angle you look at it, Mr. Gan Boheng is not a Tokyo person, but a genuine Kansai person..."

"And the reason you took the cigarette with your left hand just now was because you took the poisonous candy with your right hand. Although you ordered ramen and asked for wet wipes on the pretext that the soup was spilled, you are still worried that the toxins on it were not wiped clean, right? After all, the toxins are invisible."

"After you killed someone in the bathroom, you probably heard the sound of running water and didn't expect there were other people inside. You ran away in a hurry and didn't have time to wash your hands with water, right?"

Kamal suddenly thought of something and interrupted, "When I heard the groan, I happened to flush the water..."

Inspector Megure said: "I see, the sound of flushing just happened to cover up the murderer's footsteps as he fled."

He asked, "Brother Kamiya, we understand your reasoning, but where is the evidence?" In order to convict this man of murder, we need evidence to prove that he committed murder.

Miyano Shiho & Conan:...It's coming.

Yuya smiled faintly: "Of course, if I am not absolutely sure, I will not stand here."

He glanced at the table and said, "There are no wet wipes on the table. He must have put them in his pocket, right? As long as we test the wet wipes, it can be used as evidence of his murder."

"I guess you have no way to explain why the wet wipes provided by the restaurant are stained with cyanide poison, right?"

Gan Boheng sat weakly in his seat, his face full of fear.
