Chapter 2149 2160 [Is this doctor serious?]
The curly-haired staff member was startled by his question: "I, I'll just take some photos - the game between the two kings must be very exciting! I'm also a game fan, so of course I can't miss it."
The tall and thin man looked at him and suddenly remembered something: "You look familiar, have we met somewhere before?"
Curly-haired staff member: “You remembered it wrong!”
The conversation between the two gaming geeks was not eye-catching.
Inspector Megure quickly lost interest in them and turned back to look at the surveillance footage.
As I watched, I actually became more and more absorbed in it: "This competition is quite intense."
This game pursues "realism" very much. After entering the duel, all kinds of messy interfaces will be hidden, so even outsiders who know nothing about the game can understand it.
So from Inspector Megure's perspective, what is on the screen are two models fighting seriously, which is indeed more enjoyable to watch than other fancy games.
But he is a veteran policeman after all, and Inspector Megure is more sensitive to the surroundings of the deceased than the fierce battle on the big screen.
Suddenly he discovered the problem - a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat passed by the deceased's seat, bent down to pick up something, then he stood up and continued to walk to the other side as if nothing had happened.
"Who is this?" Inspector Megure immediately paused the camera. "He's so close to the deceased, he has the chance to poison him!"
Jiang Xia took a look and said, "He must be a frequent visitor here. He also introduced us to the glorious achievements of the two kings, Mihua and Beihu."
Suzuki Sonoko remembered even more: "He seemed to have complained about the deceased a few times. Does this count as a motive?"
"Of course." Inspector Megure waved his hand and said to Officer Takagi, "Bring this guest here immediately!"
Suzuki Sonoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief: now there are three people together, no wonder she always felt that something was missing before - it turns out that having too few suspects can also be confusing.
…
So soon, there was one more person in the staff room of the game hall.
The man in the felt hat watched the surveillance video and scratched his head helplessly: "I was picking up coins. There was a vending machine nearby and I wanted to buy some coffee. As a result, the coins fell out when I took out my pocket and rolled right next to the deceased, so I had to pick them up there - how can picking up a coin be linked to murder?
"Besides, although I hate that guy's character, I admire his gaming skills. We don't have any feuds, and I can't kill him just because I don't like his behavior. What kind of motive is that?"
The tall and thin man chuckled. "No holiday? I remember one time when you were playing a racing game and your car flipped over and he saw you, he ridiculed you - you were so angry that your face turned red, and your eyes looked like you wanted to cut him into pieces."
The man in the felt hat also sneered: "So, your motive is stronger than mine - I remember that guy is the boyfriend of your precious sister."
This was indeed brand new information. Inspector Megure quickly asked, "Tell me more!"
The uncle in the felt hat chattered, "His sister is in love with that guy Wei Teng, and they are inseparable every day - as a brother, who would want his sister to hang out with a gangster all day? He must have gotten angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, so he took the opportunity to kill that man!"
The tall and thin man angrily retorted: "Whoever she wants to be with is none of my business!"
The man in the felt hat ignored him. As a veteran who had lived in Tokyo for more than 40 years, he knew very well what it meant to "escape as long as you can outrun the enemy."
So he turned around and exposed the shortcomings of another person.
The man in the felt hat pointed at the curly-haired staff member and said to the police: "As for motives, this guy has a lot. Don't look at him as timid now. In fact, half a year ago, he had a famous name - known as 'Petra of Beika Town'!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
Mao Lilan: “…”
Inspector Megure: "Send...send what?"
"'Patra', like 'Caesar' and 'Lucas', is a character in that fighting game."
The man in the felt hat glanced at the curly-haired staff member and said, "This 'Patra from Beika Town' challenged the deceased half a year ago, but was beaten badly. He is not much better than 'Lucas' today.
"He disappeared after that. We thought he had quit the gaming industry, but he changed his hairstyle and went to work in the game hall where the deceased often went. Maybe today's death was his plan after lurking for half a year."
The curly-haired staff member's expression became even uglier: "I didn't kill anyone!"
This excuse seems particularly weak because it appears so many times.
At this moment, the police officer from the forensic department came running over and said to Jiang Xia: "Just as you said, we did detect toxins in the body of the deceased - it is pufferfish poison!
"The injection site was on the inside of the right upper arm. The needle happened to pierce the deceased's artery, so the poison should have taken effect very quickly."
Suzuki Sonoko thought it sounded familiar: "Puertoise toxin?"
Judy laughed and suddenly said, "Tetrodotoxin, taking 0.5 to 1 mg can be fatal. The lethal dose is only 1/500 of potassium cyanide. It is really a terrible poison. In the case of oral intake, this toxin enters the body slowly. If you send a doctor in time, there is hope of rescue. But if it is injected directly into the blood vessels, the victim's nerves will be paralyzed quickly, and then the victim will die quickly in a short time."
——It seems that I can’t defeat Jiang Xia in the game today. In this case, I have to at least leave some impression on him.
However, after she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Xia out of the corner of her eye, but saw that Jiang Xia did not show much of "You are so awesome!", "How did you know?!" or other expressions of admiration. Instead, it was as if someone had said in his ear "Ice is made of water" - a piece of nonsense that could be completely ignored.
Judy: “…” In this kid’s eyes, these couldn’t be completely equated with common sense… No wonder he didn’t come to class every day, it turns out he was learning all kinds of nonsense outside!
The confident foreign teacher was a little embarrassed for a moment, but fortunately there were others to support her. Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
Judy smiled and said, "A friend of mine who is a school doctor told me this. You guys often eat puffer fish here, so he told me to be careful not to get poisoned."
A suspicious gaze was quietly observing her in the dark.
Conan: "..." It sounds reasonable at first, but when a serious doctor talks about this topic with his friends, he should focus on the accidental ingestion of pufferfish poison. But what Teacher Judy said sounded like they were talking about how to kill people with pufferfish poison injections...
