Chapter 819: The Dirty Reasoning of the Famous Detective

"Fuck, Maori Kogoro."

Dark blue suit, slicked back hair, and a moustache, isn't this a definite Maori look?

When Chen Xi saw Tian Zhongyou in this exaggerated look, he couldn't help but mutter something.

"Why is he here?" Saori also felt that this fake detective was somewhat unreliable.

"Don't be afraid. With me, Tian Zhongyou, here, the murderer will definitely not escape my grasp."

"Why don't you understand the case first before you talk big."

"No need, I know everything."

Tian Zhongyou pressed his forehead with one hand and stretched out his palm towards Chen Xi.

"If the police weren't here, I would have kicked you in the butt." Chen Xi raised his leg, but finally held back.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are just a part-time worker in our Saeki family. Why are you pretending to be a famous detective?" Miura Tomokazu became arrogant again at this moment.

He had just been asked a lot of questions by the police and was very angry.

"Where are the police? Quickly get rid of this troublemaker!" Seeing that no one responded to him, Tomokazu Miura shouted angrily.

However, the surrounding police turned a blind eye.

"Well, the autopsy has been done on Kato Taiyo's body, and the latest news is that he died of pufferfish poison!" Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was rather awkward, Tian Zhongyou coughed lightly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi looked at the policeman who was taking his statement in surprise.

Doesn’t an autopsy take 18 hours? How long has it been?
"Puffer fish poison? Impossible! We all ate the puffer fish for dinner yesterday, and I also had Kato's portion, so how come I didn't get poisoned?" Miura Tomokazu thought for a moment and immediately refuted.

Tian Zhongyou adjusted his suit and tie leisurely, revealing a professional look: "The lethal dose of pufferfish toxin (TTX) is only 0.5 mg, which is 1200 times that of cyanide, but its mechanism of action is very special. First, the concentration of toxin varies greatly depending on the site. The liver is 200 times more toxic than the muscle, and the ovaries and intestines are 40-100 times more toxic than the muscle. Professional pufferfish chefs will completely remove these parts. Second, it takes time for the toxicity to take effect. Symptoms appear in as little as 10 minutes and as late as 4 hours. A similar case happened in Osaka last year. Diners ate the same pufferfish, but only one person died of poisoning. Third, the deceased's nails were purple and his pupils were dilated, which are typical symptoms of TTX poisoning."

"So you mean Kato's death happened by chance? I don't believe it!"

"Of course not, I just gave an example, I didn't say it was this situation, you idiot!" Tian Zhongyou stretched out a finger and shook it in front of him.

"idiot."

After being teased, Miura Tomokazu angrily stretched out his hand and punched, but the opponent dodged it, causing him to almost fall.

"Your steps are unsteady, and you obviously drink too much. It seems that you often hang out with Kato and play with women. Tsk tsk tsk!" Tian Zhongyou continued to mock.

"Ahem." The policeman next to him coughed twice, as if to remind him to talk about business.

At this time Chen Xi also realized that Tian Zhongyou knew everything about the case and it turned out that he knew the policeman.

"Then tell me why Kato got poisoned after eating puffer fish, but Miura was fine?" The young man who had deliberately led the discussion before now stood in the crowd and shouted.

Although Chen Xi didn't see his face, he remembered his voice.

"First, I didn't say Kato was poisoned by the puffer fish he had for dinner. Second, I didn't say he was poisoned by the puffer fish."

"Huh? How can you get poisoned if you don't eat puffer fish? Are you kidding us?" The people from Saeki's family all looked unhappy.

"Kato went out last night and took a bath in the open-air hot spring!" Tian Zhongyou walked up the steps and pointed in the direction of the hot spring.

"Don't tell me there's pufferfish in the hot spring. It would have been cooked a long time ago."

Some people sneered after hearing this.

"This guy is so unreliable. Even at this time, he still comes to make things worse!" Saori covered her forehead and complained in a low voice.

"I don't think so. Let's hear what he says next." Chen Xi shook his head.

He felt that Tian Zhongyou was a little different today.

Although what he said was funny, it was obvious that he was not making up stories when it came to the analysis of pufferfish poison.

"Of course there is no puffer fish in the hot springs, and Kato has never eaten puffer fish after dinner."

"How did the toxin get in? Was it injected with a needle?"

Some people made bold guesses.

"Not really. We men usually take a shower or a bath. Why would a grown man go to a hot spring in the middle of the night? It's because he wants to take a bath with a woman." Tian Zhongyou smiled in a mean way.

His obscene smile made everyone think of some erotic scenes.

"Don't tell me that Kato took a bath with a woman in the hot spring and then the woman fed the venom into his mouth through her mouth." Tomokazu Miura shouted.

"I've already told you that you're stupid. Stupid people shouldn't speak. Could it be that he ate the food by himself?"

"You just said he didn't eat puffer fish."

"He didn't eat puffer fish!"

"So what did he eat?"

"He eats big tits!"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about."

Miura Tomokazu was stunned for a few seconds and almost fainted from anger. Big breasts?
What the hell is this.

Chen Xi, who was standing by, brightened up his eyes after hearing this.

He glanced at the crowd and saw Saeki Anri standing in the corner with a pale face.

"Whose breasts did he eat?"

Tomokazu Miura asked stupidly.

"Of course it's the woman who took a bath with him, it's her!" Tian Zhongyou pointed at a woman.

Under the gaze of everyone, Anri Saeki shouted, "Don't frame me here. How could I take a bath with Uncle Kato? And...what you said is too obscene."

"Tian Zhong, please don't throw dirty water. Everyone knows that you and that Chinese guy are in the same group."

"That's right. Xingli is such a good girl. How can I let you say such nonsense?"

The young men of the Saeki family all had angry expressions on their faces.

It can be seen that Anri Saeki is still very popular in the family.

"Ha, look what this is?" Tian Zhongyou took out a sealed plastic bag from his body, which contained a small bottle, which seemed to be body lotion.

Saeki Anri's face changed drastically: "No... Impossible, I threw them all away..."

He pointed at the bottle and said, "There are your fingerprints on it. I'll have someone take the contents in for testing to see if it's the same toxin as the one in Kato's body, hehehe."

"This is not mine, someone else gave it to me... I don't know anything, wuwu~" Anri Saeki collapsed to the ground, covering her face and crying loudly.

"Who gave it to you?" Tian Zhongyou asked as he stepped forward.

However, the other party just cried and did not answer.

Seeing this, two policemen nearby walked over, one on the left and one on the right, lifted her up, took her aside and started questioning her.

"Haha, what do you think, am I a famous detective?" After solving the case, Tian Zhongyou's true identity was revealed. He immediately ran to Saori to take credit.

"Well done! Hey, where's Chen Xi?" Saori gave him a thumbs up, and when she turned around, her boyfriend was no longer by her side.

At this time, Chen Xi was running, and in front of him, Shimizu Saeki was pointing the way: "This way!"

"Are you sure the old guy is there?"

"Of course, he usually stays in his room because he has to receive an IV drip." Qingshui nodded affirmatively.

In front of the two of them was a small ancient castle with an island style.

The castle is built of blue-gray stone bricks, and the cracks in the walls are covered with dark green moss.

The tiles on the four corners of the roof were broken and uneven, and the copper bells hanging under the eaves were rusty. The cedar board on the main door was shiny black, and the family crest on the door knocker was worn and blurred.

The narrow windows were like slender eyes embedded in the thick wall, revealing the flickering light of the oil lamp inside. The whole building was like a crouching beast, exuding the smell of stale wood.

Chen Xi had never been here before because Saori said this was an important place in the family and no family members could enter without permission.

"Why isn't there even a gatekeeper around here?"

"Brother, we are all from the same clan. Who would risk being scolded and come here?"

"We are here now, aren't we?"

"Forehead……"

Deep inside the castle and in the rooms, the air was stagnant and heavy.

"Look at what you have done. Someone died, and it was a member of Saeki's family. I should have listened to Kosuke at the beginning. Americans and the island government are not trustworthy!" Saeki Shinnai slammed his skinny palm heavily on the coffee table, and the infusion bottle shook violently.

The old man was spitting foam at the mouth, and the age spots on his face were red and swollen with anger.

Masako Saeki stood quietly by the window, with two young men in black kimonos standing on either side, their cold eyes never leaving her fair neck. It seemed that if she moved randomly, her neck would be broken.

Ise Sogetsu knelt on the tatami, wiping the blade with a white silk. A cold light flashed across his sinister brows: "Stop talking nonsense, sign the contract quickly, and then call the Saeki family in the island country and the company in the United States..."

"The Saeki family has treated you well, why would you do such a thing? Could it be that by conspiring with foreign enemies, you can get a higher position in the Agricultural Cooperative?" Masako Saeki's voice was like a knife tempered with ice.

She still hasn't figured out why this adopted son wants to overthrow the Saeki family. Judging from his abilities and the Saeki family's attitude towards him, his future prospects are limitless.

"Agricultural Cooperative? I don't even think highly of that crap. The Saeki family has been very kind to me? How dare you say that? I am..."

"You old bastard, come out and die!"

Just when Ise Sogetsu was about to tell the big secret, a burst of rage mixed with footsteps sounded from outside the door, and then the entire beech sliding door was kicked in, and with the crisp sound of breaking wood, it hit Ise Sogetsu in the face.

As the sword was unsheathed, the door panel split into two halves in the air, and when it fell down with a loud bang, the dust in the room was scattered.

Ise Sogetsu looked ahead coldly, and two young men walked in holding bamboo swords.

"Damn Chinese people, they're here to ruin my business again!" Ise Sogetsu held the knife in his hand and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

"Wow, it's so lively! My mother-in-law is here too." Chen Xi looked at the people in the room, and the anger on his face disappeared immediately, replaced by a playful smile. He casually put the bamboo sword on his shoulder, like a wanderer who had strayed into a deep house. (End of this chapter)
