Someone died.
Another murder has occurred.
Just now, Sohei Izushima took a bite of his hamburger, and not long after, he suddenly looked pained and collapsed to the ground.
Vital signs disappeared rapidly.
Even though Conan had taken all the necessary first aid measures.
But they still didn't bring Sohei back from the island.
This area remains under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Inspector Megure is still in charge of this case.
Takagi Wataru was still accompanying him.
When Inspector Megure saw Conan and Professor Agasa, he felt like his head was about to explode.
Yesterday's case was resolved not long ago, and another one happened today.
After mentally grumbling for a moment, Inspector Megure continued to focus on solving the case.
This case is full of suspicious points.
The cause of death of the victim, Sohei Izumi, was poisoning.
Strangely, the police did not detect any toxic substances in places that Sohei Izumi might have come into contact with.
However, it was detected in certain areas of Izujima Sohei's body.
For example, on the right side of the pants, or where the belt has a hole.
And on the fingertips of Izushima Sohei's left hand, on the handkerchief, and on the hamburger wrapper.
However, the amount of toxic substances in these places is very small.
It was probably left by Sohei Izujima when he touched it with his hands that were contaminated with toxic substances.
In addition, there is another point of doubt:
The office windows had been pried open twice, so it must have been broken into by a thief.
Strangely, nothing in the office was stolen.
The case is riddled with doubts, and the police have found no evidence.
The progress suddenly became extremely slow.
But this style of doing things led the group to have a suspicion.
"Could this case be...?"
Dr. Agasa only said the first half of that sentence.
But everyone knew what Professor Agasa was talking about.
After nodding, Ai said with a serious expression:
"Successfully eliminating the target without leaving any evidence."
"Like hiding one's tracks in the fog."
"This does indeed resemble their methods."
Her words left room for interpretation.
But in reality, she preferred this option.
She didn't keep these things to herself; instead, she spoke them aloud:
"The two thefts that happened after my sister came here were probably committed by them."
"Um."
Conan agreed with this point, but he had a different opinion on the murder case.
He glanced at the bathroom and said:
"They also suspect that your sister may have left something here."
That's why I came here to take a look.
“I just found traces of a bugging device in the bathroom.”
"Perhaps they didn't find it on their first visit, so they installed a bugging device."
"But after eavesdropping for a while, they concluded that there was nothing there."
"Then they broke in through the window again to retrieve the bugging device."
"However, this murder should have nothing to do with them."
"Even if President Izushima and your father, who used to be a member of the organization, are friends."
"But they haven't seen each other for almost thirty years."
"President Izushima knew nothing about their affairs either."
"Your father didn't tell him the news either."
But Ai said:
"I am their target."
"If they had anticipated I would come here."
"They could put me under psychological pressure by killing my father's friend."
Hearing this overly pessimistic view, Conan couldn't help but say:
What nonsense are you talking about?
"How could they possibly have foreseen this?"
"Perhaps it's a woman's intuition," Ai replied somewhat perfunctorily.
"Hello..."
After hearing this, Conan gave a speechless half-moon look, and then said:
"You don't need to worry so much, and you don't need to think about these things."
"Let's not talk about the current situation."
"You still have that guy, Kōyū."
"I'm just worried about him," Ai said, looking down at the ground.
"He'll be fine."
Conan wasn't too worried about this.
He still has great faith in Guangyou.
He then added:
"To be honest, if that's really the case, you shouldn't have gone out today."
"I just want to know, is that not allowed?"
After looking around, Ai explained:
"I suddenly wondered if my parents were really as rumored in the organization."
"Now it seems that the rumors are true."
"Let's not talk about my crazy scientist father who was ostracized by the academic community."
"My mother was indeed a gloomy and taciturn person."
"You can't guess what she's thinking just by looking at her."
"It's just a rumor, don't jump to conclusions."
Conan has always been dismissive of such rumors.
Often, information can become distorted as it is passed around.
They stopped discussing the veracity of the rumors, and Ai Haibara had no intention of explaining.
She recalled the rumors about her parents within the organization and asked:
Do you know what people in the organization call my mother?
“Hell Angel”.
"An angel who has fallen to hell."
After saying that, Ai seemed completely unconcerned; she coughed twice and shrugged.
"Just as rumored."
"Now, I've completely lost interest in them."
"It actually made me feel much more relaxed, like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders."
