Chapter 923 Bloody Karaoke 2
Inspector Megure and his men are here again!
When he saw Youya, he couldn't help but say quietly, "Brother Kamiya, didn't you just come back from abroad? How did you run into a case again?"
Yuya smiled awkwardly. He had stayed at home obediently for the past few days since he came back. As a result, he encountered a case just after he went out to celebrate with Kyogoku Makoto.
Who would have thought of this?
Yuya explained the cause and effect of the incident, and Inspector Megure arranged personnel to investigate the scene.
Inspector Megure nodded slightly: "I see, you came here to sing karaoke to celebrate for Shin, but the clerk made a mistake and the private room you originally reserved was occupied by someone else."
Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly.
"And then you met this Miss Hino Hazel."
Hino Hazel nodded.
"You sang for a while and then started playing the King's Game..." Inspector Megure was silent for a moment. Young people nowadays really play everything.
This King's Game is not a good thing. He has dealt with a group gathering as a result of playing the King's Game before... Um, I've gone off topic.
In the middle of the conversation, Takagi Shigeru suddenly interrupted and said, "Conan, you can sing too?"
Conan nodded vigorously and hummed: "If Officer Takagi wants to hear it, I can sing it for you when I have time!"
Gao Mushi was stunned for a moment. He just asked casually and didn't really want to hear it, but he still politely replied: "Next time for sure."
"Uh-huh! Takagi." Inspector Megure glared at Takagi Wataru. "We are talking about the case, what are you talking about?" The latter smiled awkwardly.
Inspector Megure cast his eyes towards the rice balls on the table: "Did the deceased die of poisoning after eating the rice balls? Are these rice balls poisonous?"
Yuya nodded: "At least the one the deceased ate was poisonous, and the rice ball was brought back by Miss Mariko."
Inspector Megure immediately looked at Mariko Uemoto.
Mariko Kamimatsu panicked: "No, it wasn't me who poisoned them! I came back as soon as I got the rice balls, so I didn't have time to poison them! And even if it was me who poisoned them, how would I know which one Yuto would eat? He took the rice balls himself."
Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment and said, "That's true."
At this time, a police officer from the forensic department walked into the box and said, "Inspector, the preliminary results are out. The deceased died of potassium cyanate poisoning. We found toxins on the shirt and coat of the deceased, as well as on the handle of the Mike."
Inspector Megure nodded to show that he understood, and analyzed: "So, the murderer must have coated the microphone with poison in advance, and the victim touched the microphone and then touched the rice ball, and then ate the rice ball with poison."
Conan raised his hand and retorted: "Inspector, I don't think that's the case!"
"Huh? Why?" Inspector Megure looked over in confusion.
Conan tilted his head and said, "Because I also went up there to sing, but I wasn't poisoned, which means the poison wasn't applied to the microphone in advance."
"Besides, putting poison on the microphone is as risky as putting poison on the rice balls, right? This is karaoke, and anyone can sing on stage."
Inspector Megure: "That makes sense. So the murderer was the one who sang before the deceased? That way he could avoid other people and poison the deceased before he went on stage."
Conan denied it again: "I don't think so either."
Inspector Megure was puzzled: "Why is this?"
Conan smiled awkwardly: "Because, the person who went on stage before the dead big brother was also me."
After Conan went up to sing, Hino Hazelnut suggested that Inosuke Yuto go up and sing a song in order to soothe everyone's ears.
I have to say, although this guy is a bit of a scumbag, his singing is really nice and can compete with that of celebrities.
Maybe he deceived those girls in this way?
After being denied one after another, Inspector Megure felt a little embarrassed and complained in his heart: Why are you everywhere?
But it doesn’t matter, I have a younger brother.
He looked at Yuya helplessly: "Brother Kamiya, what do you think?" Inspector Megure is certainly not an incompetent policeman, but now that his brother is here, he feels that he does not need to think too much.
Yuya thought for a moment and said, "The method of poisoning should not be through the microphone and rice balls. How to do it specifically..."
He glanced around the room and suddenly noticed something strange: "Sister Hazel, are you all wearing the same coat?"
Hino Hazel was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, this is the uniform we wore when we were in the club. Since we were a drama club, we often had performances, so the president specially customized the uniform for us."
“We wear that jacket at every reunion to commemorate our college years.”
Yuya thought for a moment, then turned to Inspector Megure and asked, "Inspector, which part of the deceased's clothes was stained with the toxin?"
What he didn't notice was that when he asked this question, the expression on Hino Hazel's face changed slightly.
Inspector Megure replied, "It's at the left elbow."
"Both the shirt and the jacket?"
"Yes."
"Where are the others' clothes?"
"No, the only things that were detected with toxins at the scene were the deceased's clothes, the microphone, and of course, the rice ball."
Youye nodded slightly. In this way, the murderer's method of poisoning was very clear. It was most likely that the poison was smeared on the clothes of the deceased.
The murderer was undoubtedly one of the three people wearing the same coat.
Very good, another classic three-choice link.
However, if he used this method to poison, how could he ensure that the victim’s hand would touch that place?
Thinking of this, Youya walked up to Shangyuan Mariko and asked in a low voice: "Sister Mariko, I want to ask, does Mr. Yongren have any special habits? For example, will his hands touch any part of his body?"
"Habit?" Shangyuan Mariko was stunned. "Why are you asking me?"
You didn't say anything, just looked at her indifferently, but the meaning was already very clear - you two have maintained an intimate relationship for half a year, it shouldn't be difficult to know each other's habits, right?
Mariko Kamimatsu also understood, her expression a little unnatural, she thought for a moment and said, "I don't think so, right? I just smoke a lot."
"Is there anything else? Think about it carefully." Youye patiently gave a hint, which might be the key to solving the case.
Shangyuan Mariko frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and suddenly clapped her palms: "I remember! When Yongren was singing his best song - ah, the one he just sang on stage, it was specially ordered by Hazelnut.
At that time, he would imitate the original singer's performance, grab the jacket and throw it, and then make some movements..."
It’s that song. No wonder it sounds so good. It’s his best song.
Yuya's eyes lit up: "What kind of moves? Can you demonstrate it?"
Mariko Kamimono was a little embarrassed: "This... isn't good, is it? It's too embarrassing."
Yuya patiently persuaded: "This may be the key to finding the murderer. You don't want the murderer to go unpunished, do you?"
