This is indeed easy to explain.
Conan had heard Hiroto Akashi say something similar before, but unfortunately, he had more than just this one card in his hand.
Just as Akashi Hiroto was explaining, Conan came to Yamamura Misao's side and tugged at his sleeve.
After Yamamura Misao looked at him, Conan pointed to his teeth, then to the pot of curry in the kitchen, and finally made a cross.
Although the mountain village's skill level wasn't very high, he could still understand these simple gestures.
"Teeth...curry...no way?" Yamamura Misao repeated the meaning of the three gestures, pondering.
However, while he was pondering, Xiaolan already knew the answer, and said, "If I'm not mistaken..."
Does this mean that I can't eat spicy or irritating foods for a short period of time after having a tooth extracted?
At this point, Xiaolan suddenly remembered something from the past, shifted her gaze to Uncle Mori, and asked:
"I remember when you went to get your cavity pulled, the dentist said the same thing, right, Dad?"
"That was indeed said." Uncle Mori nodded, looking at Hiroto Akashi, whose heart tightened again, and said.
"But that would be very strange."
“I remember Mr. Hiroto told us at the beginning that Mr. Yanfu had gone to get his cavities treated a few days ago.”
“That’s easy to handle.” Guangyou picked up his teacup, took a sip, and thought to himself, “If it were me, I would probably say I didn’t know my tooth was pulled.”
As Kosuke predicted, Akashi Hiroto did indeed get away with it by saying, "I didn't know my father had his teeth pulled."
His tone of voice didn't change much, but his subtle gestures revealed that his inner state was not as calm as it appeared.
He already knew the identity of the man in front of him during their previous conversation.
What he didn't expect was that he would run into the famous detective known as "Sleeping Kogoro".
It's impossible not to panic, but fortunately he has good mental fortitude and no one noticed any flaws in his demeanor.
His feelings at that moment were like those of prey being targeted by a hunter.
Judging from the current situation, Kogoro Mouri, as the "hunter," has not yet discovered his "prey" hiding in the forest.
But this does not mean he has escaped the hunter's pursuit.
Because the "hunter" had discovered the "traces" he had unintentionally left behind and was walking step by step toward his hiding place with a gun in hand.
If he were given another chance, he would still do the same thing.
Whether he can escape the hunter's pursuit depends on his luck.
"Officer Yamamura, could you please come over here?"
At that moment, the younger officer pushed open the door and called Yamamura Misao out.
"Have they discovered something again?" Hiroto Akashi thought to himself, glancing calmly at the two people outside the door.
Upon seeing the familiar police officer, Mitsuyu and Conan knew the gist of their conversation.
It's all about that tooth found in the curry rice.
"Officer Yamamura, what happened?" Uncle Mori asked, looking at Yamamura Misao as he walked into the living room.
"Actually, nothing much happened," Yamamura Misao explained. "It's just that we made a new discovery."
"A new discovery?" Uncle Mori pressed. "What new discovery?"
“Mr. Yanfu’s tooth wasn’t extracted a few days ago, but just today,” Yamamura Misao said truthfully.
"The extracted tooth was also found in the leftover curry rice."
Upon hearing this, Akashi Takeo casually picked up his teacup, using the act of drinking water to conceal his inner turmoil.
He never expected that his teeth would be discovered.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem.
His fingerprints were not found on his teeth, so even if they were found, his identity could not be confirmed.
Even if asked, you can use the excuse that "I'm old, my teeth were loose, and they fell out when I bit hard on something hard."
Having come up with a reason, Akashi Hiroto swallowed the tea and then calmly put down the teacup.
"Maybe there was some tough meat in that curry rice, or something else," Yamamura Misao continued.
"The teeth around the tooth that fell out also became a bit loose."
"Tough meat?" Uncle Mori stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "But I didn't find any tough meat in the curry."
He ate three plates of curry rice, and every piece of meat he ate was cooked very tender; he didn't eat any tough meat at all.
"I didn't get to eat any either," Sonoko chimed in.
"Could it be that he already had something in his mouth?" Guangyou said at this moment.
"Biting something?" Uncle Mori glanced at Kōyū and said, "He was definitely biting something. He was eating curry rice at the time."
“I mean he was biting something else,” Kōyū added, “like something like a rope.”
"A rope?" Uncle Mori frowned. "You mean he hanged himself by biting a rope?"
“I think it’s possible.” After thinking for a moment, Sonoko understood what Kousuke meant. “It’s possible that he really did hang himself by biting the rope with his mouth.”
Sensing everyone's gaze upon her, Sonoko explained before anyone could ask:
"That way, when he runs out of strength, he will be released from the rope and hoisted up."
"I think the tooth must have fallen out when the rope was loosened and then landed in the curry rice."
"Because he had a rope in his mouth, he couldn't shout for help."
