clever!
Sitting in the car, Makoto Sakaki wanted to give a thumbs up to Kogoro Mori.
Who said Kogoro Mori is useless?
Hasn't he found the key?
In this case, what kind of medicine Akutagawa took was the key to his sudden death.
Sakaki Makoto noticed this, and Mori Kogoro also noticed this.
"Blood pressure medication?"
Megure Jusan said in confusion:
"Even if Akutagawa took blood pressure medication, there would be no side effect of sudden death!"
"The police chief is right."
The butler also looked at Maori Kogoro in a strange way:
"Although most of the medicines that Young Master takes have the same side effects, the dosage is strictly limited. Young Master strictly follows the doctor's orders and cannot take more or less. Even if he takes painkillers, penicillin V potassium tablets, and blood pressure medication at the same time, it is impossible for him to suffer sudden death. The doctor also said so!"
"What if the drugs that Akutagawa took were not just the three drugs you mentioned?"
With one hand in his pocket, Maori Kogoro stroked his mustache and said slowly under Conan's dull gaze:
"There are many drugs that can cause similar symptoms of sudden death. If someone added such drugs to Akutagawa Ichimoto's medicine bottle, then it would be a perfect murder... Send the drugs for testing, Inspector Megure. Once the test results come out, we will know the real cause of Akutagawa Ichimoto's death."
Following Megure Juzo's eye signal, the identification department immediately took action and began analyzing the pills on the table. Although they did not have professional tools, it was still easy to tell which pills were different from the real ones.
Maori Kogoro showed a confident smile and waited patiently. After 10 minutes...
"Report!"
Detective Tomi held up the test results and said:
"According to our tests, there is nothing wrong with the three drugs that Akutagawa Ichimoto took!"
"See, I was right... Nani?! No problem?!"
Maori Kogoro's eyes widened, and he rushed to Detective Tome in two steps and said:
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?!"
"Mr. Maori, it's really no problem..."
Detective Deng Mi said helplessly:
"If you don't believe our test results, we will send these drugs to a professional institution for analysis later, and then we will be able to confirm it."
"This...someone must have replaced the medicine bottle!"
Maori Kogoro said:
"And the one who changed the medicine bottle is the criminal!"
"Brother Maori, please explain clearly first. What kind of medicine did Akutagawa Ichimoto take that caused the symptoms of sudden death?"
"Quinidine!"
Maori Kogoro said firmly:
"This is a heart treatment drug used for the maintenance treatment of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter after electrical cardioversion. It is a drug with many adverse reactions. If a child takes more than 5 grams, it will cause death. Although adults have stronger resistance, antihypertensive drugs and penicillin V potassium tablets contain ingredients that cause arrhythmias!"
"If Akutagawa Ichimoto takes quinidine while taking antihypertensive drugs, it will easily cause low blood pressure and ventricular arrhythmia!"
"The serious consequence of low blood pressure and ventricular arrhythmia is sudden death! This is not an accident, but murder!"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that sudden death could be caused in this way.
This involves the blind spots in the knowledge of most people. They know that taking drugs indiscriminately is indeed dangerous, but they are not very clear about where the specific dangers lie and what consequences will be caused.
“It’s not easy…”
Sakaki Makoto narrowed his eyes while smoking.
Kogoro Mori's performance really surprised him.
According to his previous style, he should have jumped out to stir up trouble, but...
Suddenly, he showed his extraordinary power. Not only did he accurately find the cause of death, he also took advantage of the situation and deduced that the prisoner had changed his medication.
Is this still the same Kogoro Mouri who smokes, drinks, eats fatty meat, is bad at nothing, and is number one in looking at beautiful women?
Could it be...
Was his previous stupidity and foolishness all an act?
So why doesn't he pretend now?
After much thought, Makoto Sakaki came to two conclusions.
1. This time it was just a coincidence for Kogoro Mori. As long as he had encountered similar incidents before, he would be able to associate it with the fact that the criminal used drugs to poison Akutagawa Ichimoto.
2. Maori Kogoro suddenly took off his disguise mask because he noticed the actions of the Black Organization and took the initiative to attack in order not to expose Conan....
The former is okay, as it is an unexpected success, and Sakaki Makoto does not have to worry about Kogoro Mori interfering with his plans.
But if it is the second possibility...
He was in big trouble.
Over the past year, he had long since let down his guard against Kogoro Mori. Although he had avoided him in many things, he still showed his flaws sometimes.
If Kogoro Mori is not as simple as he seems...
Proving that he was hiding deeper than Sakaki Makoto imagined.
The worst possibility is that Kogoro Mouri already knows his and Conan's identities, but just doesn't reveal them and is just playing along with them.
When the sleeping Maori Kogoro wakes up...
If you don't make a sound, you will be a surprise.
This kind of opponent is the most terrifying.
Combined with the action of taking Hamoto as his apprentice, Sakaki Makoto increasingly felt that Kogoro Mori was not a simple person.
"How come uncle suddenly becomes smart..."
Conan muttered in the channel:
"There have been similar cases before, and he was even able to solve the case faster than I was!"
"I'm afraid your father-in-law is different from what we think he is."
"What's the meaning?"
Conan was stunned for a moment:
"You said that uncle is just pretending to be stupid and foolish?"
“It’s possible.”
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Conan quickly denied it:
"He's Maori Kogoro! If he's really that powerful, how could he have fallen to the point where he had to rely on finding missing pets to make a living?"
"Is Maori Kogoro really short of money?"
Sakaki Makoto's words stumped Conan.
Money...Kogoro Mori is definitely short of it.
But that doesn't mean that Kogoro Mori has problems making a living.
Otherwise, he would not have quit his job as a criminal policeman and turned to the unstable detective industry.
Just the building where the Mori Office is located is the asset of Kogoro Mori, he is the landlord of the Poirot Café!
What does it mean to own a building in Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable?
The annual rent alone is quite a lot!
If you just live a life of eating and waiting to die...
There's absolutely no problem with Kogoro Mori.
"He's short of money, but he won't worry about making a living."
Sakaki Cheng said faintly:
"In other words, it doesn't matter if he makes money as a detective or not. So the question is, since he was a criminal police officer before, is it possible that he has come into contact with cases related to the Black Organization?"
