Chapter 76: Poirot's Case



Anyway, don't run into Conan in your daily life, it will be unfortunate, Xian thought sincerely in his heart.

So what was the cause of the murder this time? Xian turned around and saw a man with his mouth open, his hands pinching his neck, and then he fell to the ground stiffly. The person sitting at the same table with him was a woman with a child. They looked like a family.

A family? Xian raised his eyebrows. Why would a family kill someone? Usually it's just a couple. If a wife kills her husband, she has to wait until the child grows up. Such a young child... looks a little younger than Conan now.

Xian took out his cell phone and planned to call the police, but when he turned around, he saw that Mao Lilan was already saying goodbye to Officer Megure, so he could only put down the phone silently.

As expected of a woman who has been with Conan for a long time, calling the police has become extremely smooth for her.

Conan squatted beside the dead body and soon smelled a bitter almond smell from the dead body's mouth. Amuro Toru, who was squatting beside him, also smelled it. After confirming the death, he stood up and said regretfully: "It's potassium cyanide poisoning. The person is already beyond saving."

Potassium cyanide, very good, a standard Conan case. Xian quietly retreated to stand beside Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, acting as a cute background.

Although he could use the excuse that he was a detective and wanted to gain the trust of the police, he came back this time because something seemed to have happened at the organization's Japanese headquarters, so he was temporarily transferred back. If he had to establish a relationship with the police as soon as he came back, it would be a bit suspicious...

Thinking of this, the expression on Amuro Toru's face became a little more serious. He began to ask questions carefully and look for various clues, trying to find the murderer among the three suspects.

The police arrived quickly. When Officer Megure saw Conan, he was speechless. He complained in his mind why he could see this elementary school student almost every time at the murder scene, while he performed his duty as a police officer with a half-moon eye and began to question him.

Finlandia... Amuro's heart sank. Why did this person give him this smile? Was he reminding him not to get too close to the police? Or something else? He...

Hearing this, Xian was immediately attracted to the standard opening statement of the murderer turning himself in. It seemed that Conan and Amuro Toru had successfully solved the case. He really didn't watch the whole process of Conan solving the case this time, mainly because he didn't want Amuro Toru to know that he paid too much attention to Conan.

This kind of case could not be an accident. With the involvement of potassium cyanide, it must be a murder. He needs to find the murderer and bring him to justice.

Xian felt a little resentful. He had used it for a long time before and didn't notice anything. Now that he couldn't use it anymore, he realized that [Smile of the Virgin Mary] was so useful, especially for people like Bourbon who had a negative impression of him.

Conan is a child who is staying at the Maori Detective Agency. After several exchanges, he found that this child is really smart. He is very careful in looking for clues and has a certain logical reasoning ability. He is as mature as a little adult. If he hadn't occasionally revealed his childish innocence, he would have guessed that he was a dwarfisted person disguised as a child.

In that case... then he has nothing to worry about. If the case is not solved, it will remain at a stalemate, which is obviously not what Finlandia wants to see, so the best way is to solve the case himself as a detective and let these police officers leave early.

"Brother Amuro! Look at this!" Conan held a small piece of paper the size of a fingernail in a handkerchief and handed it to Toru Amuro, successfully bringing Toru Amuro back to his senses.

Moreover, he had not heard any news about Gin recently. Combined with the little news he had learned that something had happened to the organization, it was highly likely that Gin was not on a secret mission. Since it was not a secret mission, there was another possibility...

Xian called out Enomoto Azusa and whispered in her ear, "Miss Azusa, I heard there was a murder case here before?"

On the case-solving team side, Amuro Toru, who has been keeping an eye on Finlandia's situation, was a little confused. He actually let Conan follow him to help. Although Conan is a child, it must be said that he can really help him a lot, especially when he was distracted by Finlandia's situation, he could provide him with many clues that he had overlooked.

"Conan... why did you go to the scene again?" Mao Lilan was a little worried. Conan was just too curious. Although he was smarter than ordinary children, he was still a child after all. He couldn't always affect the work of the police officers like this. With that, Mao Lilan was about to get up and bring Conan back.

Amuro Toru, who was watching Finlandia's movements closely, said: ...

Xian blinked: "Mr. Amuro looks so experienced."

"Mr. Hinamori, are you really not going to leave me a contact method?" Suzuki Sonoko blinked quickly at Xian.

Xian was invited by Mao Lilan to sit with them. Enomoto Azusa also stood at their table, watching Amuro Toru busying around.

I thought his identity as a detective was enough to convince me, so what else did he have to worry about?

"I see..." Xian made a somewhat sad expression, "It seems that Ms. Maori hasn't seen Kudo-kun for a long time."

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro's gaze involuntarily shifted to Finlandia.

[…Maybe it’s because you’re here, host. After all, you’re a standard member of the organization in his eyes, so he can’t get too close to the police in front of you.]

Seeing that Xian still gave her the store's landline number, Suzuki Sonoko felt a little disappointed, but she knew that such things could not be forced, so she did not ask for contact information again.

"...Well, if Ms. Suzuki wants to come to our store to buy books, you can call this number." Xian's smile was impeccable.

But the problem now is that Finlandia is also at the scene... With members of the organization present, he is not just "Toru Amuro", he is also "Bourbon". Bourbon cannot have any close contact with the police, and cannot act too familiar with the police...

On the other hand, Toru Amuro was hesitating about how to deal with this case.

This child was diagnosed with autism when he was young. He lives in his own world every day, ignoring everything around him and has a weird and closed personality.

"Eh? Yes, Mr. Amuro is indeed very good." Enomoto Azusa said with a smile, "Sometimes I really feel that Mr. Amuro's life is too tiring. He has to be a detective and a waiter, and sometimes he has to learn from Mr. Mori and be his disciple."

"That's true." Enomoto Azusa nodded in agreement.

"Ahahaha... Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to say that there was a murder case in our store before. Mr. Amuro is quite experienced." Azusa Enomoto had a helpless smile on his face, "And Mr. Amuro is actually a detective!"

[I don’t know about that.]

Forget it, anyway, he and Conan are already solving the case, and they will soon be able to close the case and go home. He went out and met Conan, and then encountered a murder case, and made a scene.

Alas, without the skill [Smile of the Virgin Mary], I am still not used to it. Now I can’t even take advantage of Toru Amuro’s slightest mercy.

"I can't get divorced... I'm a housewife, and all the family income comes from my husband. I'm old now, and it's impossible for me to find another man like him, so I must..." The woman knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

Xian stopped Mao Lilan in time: "It's okay, Miss Mao Li, I know Conan is a very smart kid, he won't disrupt the police work, and last time I saw him, he was able to help Mr. Mao Li solve the case very well, so he must have remembered some common sense about solving the case." He also pointed at Amuro Toru, "What's more, Mr. Amuro is also a detective, he is watching Conan, Miss Mao Li don't have to worry."

"...Don't say any more. I was indeed the one who killed him."

The father is a successful professional, he can't accept his child's weird personality, and he will be very embarrassed if he tells others about it, so he wants to throw the child away. But sending the child directly to an orphanage is too cheap, so he wants to send the child to the hospital and make up the illusion that the child is lost in the hospital.

"It's true, Mr. Amuro is now my father's apprentice." Ran Mouri added.

Realizing that someone was looking at him, Xian shifted his gaze and saw it was indeed Toru Amuro. He blinked and gave Toru a smile.

"But Mr. Amuro looks very professional." Xian said to Azusa Enomoto who was standing beside him, "He also looks like a very good detective. Should we say that he is worthy of being Mr. Mori's apprentice?"

But now the dangerous stage is almost over, he can eat melons in peace. So Xian began to listen to the reasons for the case.

The mother and the deceased were a couple. They brought their six-year-old son to have dinner today. It was their last meal, or to be more precise, the last meal the whole family had together.

"This is..." Toru Amuro lowered his head and looked carefully, and asked Conan where he found it.

"Well... Mr. Amuro had only been here for a few days at that time. The murderer that day seemed to have used the same poison. The case was solved by Mr. Mori and Mr. Amuro together." Enomoto Azusa explained in a low voice, with a little worry on his face. "It's obvious that there are fewer customers after the last time. This time again... I don't know if we can keep the customers."

"Shinichi..." Mao Lilan thought of Kudo Shinichi, and her brows could not help but show some worry, "He said that there are some difficult cases that need to be dealt with, and he can't come back for a while."

And from the tone of their conversation, Finlandia also knew that Conan was a smart kid. He actually asked him to help him... Could it be that Finlandia was attracted by Conan's talent and wanted to recruit him into the organization? So he wanted to take care of him himself? No... He was just a slightly smart kid, not worth it. Did Finlandia want to solve the case quickly by himself? It was very likely. After all, no member of the organization would like to stay with the police for a long time.

Seeing Conan sneaking into the scene while Mouri Ran was not paying attention and starting to look for clues, Xian chose to ignore all of this and turned to talk to Suzuki Sonoko, who she had always wanted to strike up a conversation with.

If even Gin was punished, the organization would be on high alert. At this time, it would be inappropriate for him to deal with the police, no matter what the reason. Moreover, if he was not careful, he might be the focus of attention, which would be disadvantageous to him.

But she was still very unwilling in her heart, so today, she asked the man out on the pretext of having the last meal with him and took the opportunity to kill him.

Well... in a sense, there is nothing wrong with what Suzuki Sonoko said. Xian glanced at Conan who was happily solving a case with Amuro Toru.

"Don't worry. That kind of man can't move once he encounters a case. He is probably still immersed in the joy of solving the mystery. Nothing will happen at all." Suzuki Sonoko said with a half-moon look.

Because after today, they will throw the child into the hospital to fend for himself.

After all, mother and child are connected by heart, and the mother of the child disagreed with this matter. However, the father of the child threatened her that if she did not agree, he would divorce her and leave the mother and child to fend for themselves. Under no circumstances did the mother agree.

"Eh...Mr. Amuro seems to be a very warm person, not at all like the detective who always keeps a calm mind." Xian added innocently, blinking.

"...That's right." Mao Lilan looked at Amuro Toru, sighed, and said helplessly, "I really don't know why Conan is so interested in murder cases. He's really like Shinichi." "By the way, I haven't seen Kudo-kun recently. Is there something wrong?" Xian asked knowingly, and his voice was intentionally or unintentionally a little louder.

Moreover, Finlandia did not seem to have any intention of intervening in this case. After all, the members of the organization wanted to stay as far away from the police as possible, so how could they take the initiative to help solve the case?

"However, only by working hard can you become more and more capable." After all, he is a working emperor, and he also works part-time as a public security policeman and an organization member.

"Eh? Detective?" Xian looked a little surprised, as if he didn't quite believe it.

Toru Amuro skillfully asked the guests in the store to return to their seats and not to disrupt the scene. He also carried Conan, who wanted to continue looking for clues, to Ran Mouri.

It seems that Toru Amuro has become a little more serious, so was he just slacking off before? Why?

"Autism can be cured. Have you ever thought that by doing this today, you are killing someone in front of your beloved son, and he will..." Amuro Toru's words were heavy, but he was interrupted by Xian before he could finish.

"He might learn from you in the future." Xian blinked and said innocently. With everyone in the audience looking at him with "what nonsense are you talking about", Xian continued, "If you succeed, then maybe when he gets better, your actions will make him think that this might be the right thing to do?"

"In this case, there will be one more..."

Xian muted his voice because everyone in the audience was looking at him sharply.
