"Yes, I poisoned it, and I did hide it in the hoodie. Did you suspect me because it was raining outside?"
The evidence was irrefutable! Kou Shang Wuyi had no way to defend herself, and she had a vague idea of how Shinichi had suspected her.
It was raining outside just now. Even Guangyou could tell from how wet her coat was that she hadn't worn a hat when she went out and had just gotten soaked in the rain.
Mitani still couldn't believe it; Urata really was killed by Kougami Mai.
Hong Shangwu's face still showed no remorse after killing someone; instead, a hint of pleasure appeared. She gritted her teeth and said, "Because his actions don't deserve the title of 'doctor'!"
Hong Shang Mai was somewhat agitated. Realizing this, she took a breath to calm herself down, and then began to explain why she wanted to kill Urata.
Through Hongshang Mai's clothes, everyone understood the whole story. Recently, there was an academic conference where Urata was preparing to publish a paper. However, by sheer coincidence, there was a patient who happened to be staying at the same hospital as Urata. His medical condition was enough to refute Urata's paper. What was puzzling was that the patient's condition suddenly deteriorated, and he soon passed away.
Last week, when Urata's marriage proposal failed and he asked Kouue Mai to accompany him out for drinks to cheer him up, he revealed the truth himself: the reason for the patient's deterioration was not a physical problem at all, but that Urata deliberately prescribed the wrong medication and deliberately made the patient's condition worse in order to make this patient, who could overturn his thesis theory, disappear from the world!
Everyone felt as if they had been struck by a sledgehammer. No one present could have imagined that someone would deliberately kill another person just for a paper, for fame and fortune. If you were to take a knife and give a patient a quick death, perhaps no one would think much of it. But he deliberately prescribed the wrong medication, deliberately worsened the patient's condition, and made the patient die in agony!
The mastermind behind this is Dr. Urata, who is wearing a white coat!
Whether it was guilt or pain that Urata revealed, it was impossible to know, but none of that could save the patient's life. Kougami Mai did not intend to pretend that nothing had happened, so she planned this murder.
She thought it was a blessing in disguise, or perhaps a way for her to get her comeuppance, which was why the rain came and made Shinichi suspicious. But she didn't expect Shinichi to just shake his head slightly: "You're wrong. Even if I hadn't found anything wrong with your hat, I was already planning to have the police check your clothes."
"Huh?"
"Because I already knew you were the murderer just from the fact that you kept the useless creamer and syrup!"
Shinichi, full of confidence, explained, "You once said that when you came back from the restroom, the play had already started, the theater was completely dark, and even if you opened the cup, it would be difficult for you to quickly tell that Mr. Urata's cup had been replaced with cola, right? So I'm convinced that you opened the cup beforehand, and that's why you knew the contents of the cup were wrong, and that's why you didn't use the creamer and syrup."
Upon hearing Shinichi's perfect reasoning, Mai Kougami suddenly laughed: "This is really a headache. Although you are just a high school student, I still have to admire your observation skills. Perhaps this is my retribution."
Standing beside Ai, Kōyū silently observed the crowd, and said with a touch of emotion, "Fallen angels..."
Ai Haibara seemed to have thought of something because of Urata's story, and suddenly said to Kouyu, "Do you think someone like me who can so easily control other people's lives and deaths will also face retribution?"
“Yes.” Xiao Ai’s eyes flickered slightly at Guangyou’s words, but she suddenly laughed again. “Your retribution has already come. Meeting me is your retribution. I will change your life! You don’t need to feel any pressure. You were just forced into it. I can understand, and God can understand too. If God really gives you retribution, I will be by your side.”
Her tone was calm yet so firm, which moved Ai. She looked down at the ground, a faint smile playing on her lips beneath her mask.
Inspector Megure smiled broadly: "Wow, you're really good, young man! Your analysis of the case is quick and sharp. I have high hopes for you, young man!"
Hearing Inspector Megure's praise, Shinichi's face beamed with a smile: "You're welcome, you're welcome."
Uncle Mori, who hadn't done any work, nodded and crossed his arms: "It's really good, but it's still a bit lacking compared to me!"
Inspector Megure completely ignored the shameless former police officer, now a detective, and walked up to Shinichi: "So this time, Kudo, how about you come with me to listen to the suspect's statement?"
However, Shinichi refused. The antidote only lasts for a short time and will eventually wear off, and Shinichi will leave again. So we must cherish every minute and second to be with Ran. Shinichi's emotional intelligence is just often offline, but it's not that he doesn't have it. He can still understand things now.
Inspector Megure nodded in disappointment: "Alright."
At that moment, Shinichi leaned close to Inspector Megure's ear and said, "Inspector, I hope you won't expose me this time either. I don't want to have anything to do with this case for the time being."
Inspector Megure readily agreed to this request, which wasn't really a request. It wasn't a difficult matter, and it would also save face for the Japanese police. After all, it was always Kudo who handled things, and the police couldn't save face no matter what. If it were Uncle Mori, it would be understandable, since he used to be one of their own. But Kudo Shinichi was just a high school student, and the police didn't want to admit that they were inferior to a high school student, even though it was a fact that they found it hard to refute.
After Inspector Megure nodded in agreement to Shinichi's request, he shook his head without even looking at him and said, "Alright, Mori, let's go."
