Chapter 171 Recklessness is very bad

...

At Beika Hospital, after putting the test report into her bag, Chizuru reached out and patted Conan, who was 'supervising' her from the side, and smiled with a slight curve in her eyes, "Are you relieved now?"

Conan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'm glad you're alright."

On their way back, the two passed a noodle shop, and whether it was a coincidence or not, they had only walked a few steps when a very loud scream came from inside.

"ah--!"

Daily Scream has reached 1/1 again.

Chizuru glanced at Conan, who had already run into the noodle shop, paused for a moment, and then stepped into the noodle shop as well.

Apart from the counter area, all other areas in the noodle shop are separated by partition screens.

After taking a closer look at the unseeing eyes of the deceased, Qianzhu took out her phone and made a call to the Metropolitan Police Department.

The deceased was a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup named Tomomi Inoue. Her body was discovered by a waitress at the noodle shop.

For some reason, after the surrounding guests learned of the murder, apart from being somewhat panicked, none of them were afraid to leave until the police arrived, conducted a search, and allowed them to leave.

Hmm... I guess the residents of Beika are all used to these kinds of murders.

Finally, in addition to the police, noodle shop staff, and Conan and Chizuru, there were three other suspects at the scene.

Conan stood to the side, his sharp eyes scanning the three suspects.

One was a young man named Yumura sitting next to the deceased, another was a young woman named Iijima, and the third was a somewhat haggard-looking man named Takao sitting behind the counter.

But Conan immediately deduced that the victim's death was related to Takao.

Because at that moment he was staring blankly at the dead man, his lips were twitching, as if he was trying to suppress a laugh.

Based on the deceased's death characteristics and the almond odor emanating from her breath, it was ultimately determined that the cause of death was potassium cyanide ingestion.

But how exactly did the murderer commit the crime in a noodle shop full of customers?

After searching everywhere and asking a lot of people, we couldn't find even the slightest clue!

Conan's pupils suddenly contracted. How could this be?!

If someone commits a crime, they should leave clues!

His mind was in complete chaos at that moment.

This is the second time!

What exactly happened?

After testing the places the deceased had been in contact with, as well as the noodles and water she was eating, no traces of potassium cyanide were found. The only place where it could be detected was inside the deceased's body.

After spending half a day without finding a single clue, the police had no choice but to call off the operation and take the three suspects back for a brief statement.

Conan, equally clueless, couldn't find any reason to make them stop this time.

Before leaving the noodle shop, a platinum card suddenly floated down from above and landed right on Conan's head.

He took the card down with a puzzled look, and his pupils contracted when he saw the familiar golden patterns on it. He was even more shocked when he turned it over.

This time, the letter on the card isn't E, but...

S!

A sudden realization dawned on Conan's mind, his brows furrowed, and he gripped the card even tighter.

Could it be...!

Is this yet another criminal organization?!

After the statement was taken, Conan made an excuse to let Chizuku go back first, while he secretly followed behind Takao Yuto.

Qianzhu stood there, watching his departing figure with an unclear expression, then lowered her eyes slightly and turned to leave.

Didn't I already say that...?

Being so reckless is not a good thing.
