Chapter 456 Suspected death from pufferfish poisoning

Uemura Ren's face was even more ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly. He looked at Mouri Kogoro suspiciously for a few moments. "Come on, how can you suspect someone without any evidence? Besides, you're not a policeman. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Kogoro Mouri coughed a few times and waved his hand apologetically, "Sorry, I just blurted it out without thinking."

Ren Uemura: "..."

"Uncle Mori, should we call the police first? After all, someone died here." Conan tilted his head back, blinked, and spoke obediently, but he deliberately included the name 'Mouri'.

"Don't meddle in adults' business!" Kogoro Mouri gave Conan a light tap on the head without hesitation, then calmly took out his phone and dialed the police.

Conan stood to the side, rubbing his head where he had been hit, looking angry.

"Mouri? Kogoro Mouri!? You're that famous detective Kogoro Mouri!?" Ren Uemura paused for a moment when he heard the name, then looked Kogoro Mouri up and down before suddenly remembering that he had seen this face in the newspaper.

After making the call to the police, Kogoro Mouri put away his phone. Upon hearing the words "famous detective," he immediately beamed, scratching the back of his head and laughing without a trace of modesty. "Ahahahaha, that's right, that's right, I am Kogoro Mouri."

“Uh…” Uemura Ren didn’t know what to say for a moment, and after a long pause, he chuckled awkwardly, “So it really is you. I’m so sorry. My name is Uemura Ren, and this is Ohashi Shunpei.”

He introduced himself, then pointed to the dead man lying on the ground and told Kogoro Mouri his name.

The others listened to their conversation in a daze before introducing themselves.

The person in charge of carrying the shelf was Takayuki Akasaka, the person in charge of carrying the bucket was Ryosuke Koike, the person in charge of carrying the bonsai was Yoshiki Gomi, and the person in charge of carrying the bonsai was the woman, Emiko Yamamoto.

“By the way, wasn’t Mr. Mori just asking Mr. Ohashi what he ate today? To be honest, I saw him at the pufferfish restaurant at noon today,” Yamamoto Emiko said softly.

"Pufferfish?" Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri frowned and pondered for a moment.

If it is a pufferfish, then there is indeed a risk of tetrodotoxin poisoning.

"Is it just Mr. Ohashi?" Conan looked up at Yamamoto Emiko with curiosity, already fully accustomed to the advantage of his current appearance as a seven-year-old.

"I don't think so, but I'm not sure who he was with..." Yamamoto Emiko thought for a moment and smiled apologetically at Conan.

Nodding, Conan asked again, "Oh...I see. Then, Ms. Yamamoto, could you tell us which pufferfish restaurant he went to?"

"Of course, it's the one diagonally opposite Baiyun Restaurant."

After Yamamoto Emiko finished answering, Conan felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason, and then, unsurprisingly, another bump appeared on his head with a "duang".

After the island's police arrived, Kogoro Mouri explained the basic situation to them, and then they went together to the restaurant that served pufferfish dishes.

When the restaurant owner asked if Ohashi Shunpei had dined there that day, because he was suspected of dying from pufferfish poisoning, they were terrified. After all, if their pufferfish dish had not been properly prepared and caused the customer's death, they would not only be held responsible, but their business would also plummet.
