Chapter 1275 1283 [Innocent New Cadre]
However, Suzuki Sonoko remembered an incident in Mie Prefecture where a private doctor pretended to save his employer but actually killed someone in front of him.
She imitated Jiang Xia, looked at the store manager, and said calmly: "And the store manager who rushed to the deceased's side as soon as he fell to the ground, right?"
Conan looked at her in surprise: "Indeed."
Suzuki Sonoko raised her head proudly: "It's a pity that I have to go to school, otherwise I would have been a famous detective long ago!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia, wanting to hear whether his guess was correct.
However, he regretfully discovered that Jiang Xia was making a phone call from a distance.
Inspector Otaki's eyes twitched as he listened to this: "I always feel that too many detectives is not a good thing. Fortunately, this little girl doesn't look very reliable, and it may be difficult for her to become a detective. But the elementary school student next to him...
Just as he was thinking about it, the magical elementary school student suddenly looked at him.
"!" Inspector Otaki was startled and asked seriously, "What's wrong?"
After a moment, he actually saw a similar "helpless" expression on the face of an elementary school student. Then Conan pointed at the three people and urged: "Uncle police, we just heard that these three people have a grudge against the deceased."
In this kind of situation, if the onlookers ask the suspect, he will easily pretend to be deaf.
It's better to let the police ask.
As Inspector Otaki looked over, the three suspects who had been silent looked at each other for a moment and then spoke.
The guest in the blue hat sitting next to the deceased sighed, "I did have some conflicts with him, but it wasn't to the point of killing someone. In fact, a while ago, I brought my wife to this restaurant for dinner and praised the cheap but delicious flounder. The guy next to us heard it and suddenly said, 'That's not flounder, it's sea bass, idiot.'"
The young police officer nodded as he took note: "In other words, he slandered you for no reason?"
The man in the blue hat was silent for a moment. "Then I tasted it carefully and found that it was indeed sea bass... But we were talking about our own thing, so why did he interrupt? - And there's something wrong with him! It was obviously just a small matter, and it should have been over. But who would have thought that after that, somehow, he actually got his hands on my food blog and left a message saying that I was actually a person with a dull sense of taste and that everything on my blog was nonsense!"
Thinking of Agatsuma Ryuzo's harsh comments and the other ridicule he had attracted, Xiang Guoxiu could not help but pound the table in anger.
After the bang, he suddenly realized that the police were looking at him strangely, and the man in the blue hat hurriedly said awkwardly: "Well, okay, I am a little angry, but who would kill someone just because of a few scoldings on the Internet?
"Although I was sitting next to him, the conveyor belt rotated clockwise, and I was sitting downstream of him. If I poisoned him, I would have to wait for the plate to rotate again before returning to him - if he didn't take the sushi the first time, he probably wouldn't take it the next time. If someone really wanted to kill someone, who would use such a lucky method?"
Inspector Otaki: ...It seems to make sense?
Suzuki Sonoko seemed to be addicted to being a detective. She stroked her chin and said, "If we count based on the flow direction of the conveyor belt, then the lady sitting upstream has a good chance."
Next to her, a middle-aged woman in pink clothes was startled when she heard this and waved her hands in panic: "Even if I sit upstream, I don't know what that bastard eats and what he doesn't eat, so how could he just randomly smear poison on the plate!"
"That bastard?" Conan's eyes moved, and he said in an innocent voice, "It sounds like Auntie really knew the deceased?"
Takemura Sakiko's expression changed.
After a long silence, she snorted coldly, "Even if I don't tell you, you will definitely be able to find it out, so I might as well tell you - the sushi restaurant I opened before was ruined by that guy!
"He used to be a regular customer of our restaurant, but one day he suddenly said that the taste of our sushi had changed. Then he laughed and said, 'Such an obvious level fluctuation can only be suppressed by heavy cash.'
"I, I thought he was joking and ignored him. But he immediately wrote a report saying that the sushi in our store was not as good as the boxed sushi in the supermarket! Then other people followed suit and reported the same thing... The store soon had no customers and had to close down."
She said, covering her face in pain.
The young police officer wrote furiously. Halfway through, he remembered the rumors about the deceased and asked curiously, "So the taste of your sushi restaurant has really changed?"
The pink-dressed woman froze, looking somewhat embarrassed. She said loudly, "There's nothing we can do! Our previous sushi chef resigned due to old age, and the next chef we had originally chosen suddenly rejected my invitation. We can only temporarily find an apprentice to make do... How can we keep the taste of the sushi we make unchanged?!"
As she said this, she glared at the manager of the conveyor belt sushi restaurant.
The others were stunned: The store manager is actually involved here?
The store manager sighed and said, "Manager Takemura did contact me, but before I was going to take over the store, my arm was suddenly injured and I couldn't make sushi anymore - because there was a fight between customers in the previous store, and I went to stop it, but I bumped into the glass and cut my tendons.
"One of the guests who got into the fight..." His expression became strange, as if he was suppressing his hatred, "was my wife."
Police: “…”
It seems difficult to rule out motivation.
One ruined his reputation, one ruined his store, and one ruined his arm and career. It seems that no matter who suddenly killed someone, it was justified...
…
Things are unpredictable here in the store.
In the other corner, Jiang Xia was still making a peaceful phone call.
He picked up the phone, and Gin's voice came from the other end, sounding unusually eerie: "Uzo, the three people I sent to follow me have suddenly lost contact. Do you have any clues?"
Jiang Xia seemed not to hear the question in his tone and simply understood it as a question. He asked in confusion: "Stalker? What stalker?"
The phone casing opposite made a creaking sound as if it was about to be crushed.
Jiang Xia walked to the window, looked out, and then looked at the ghosts.
The ghosts shook their heads at him regretfully.
Jiang Xia then also began to feel regretful: Even though it has become like this, there is still no sense of high-end murderous atmosphere around the sushi restaurant. It seems that Gin still has a long way to go to achieve this.
…
On the other side of the phone, Gin wasn't just looking murderous, he was also thinking.
Just now, I heard that the peripheral members of the organization died near Uzo, and three of them lost contact at the same time. Countless past experiences suddenly came to mind, and Gin guessed at the first time: Uzo must be behind this.
...but he had no evidence.
At this moment, after realizing that there was no point in "looking for Uzo to punish him", Gin's attention gradually shifted away from the three losers who might have already died, and he thought of more important things.
