Chapter 16

In fact, when Conan and others were busy with the murder case in front of them, Xingchuan and Ming had already begun to think about the connection between this case and their own poisoning.

According to the consistent style of the original plot, the murder case will definitely be solved by Conan. On the contrary, his own comic book has always had the problem of setting itself up against trouble. It is not impossible that there is some kind of connection between the two cases.

Xingchuan and Ming don't like the feeling of having someone who is good at poisoning lurking in the dark.

Originally, the suspect was thought to be the pastry chef Yuko Kobayashi, but after discovering that Yuko had eaten the same Japanese confectionery before her death, they immediately realized that she might have been used. The other party even wanted to kill her, but Kimura Masaru got there first.

Yuko Kobayashi is nothing more than a remote control that the other party can use to deal with her and can be discarded at any time.

Such a complicated situation is no longer something that a private detective can solve, so Xingchuan and Ming decisively choose to seek help from the police. Although they may not be able to find out the identity of the other party immediately, with the intervention of the police, the other party is likely to be confused, which gives them the opportunity to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

He could also take this opportunity to get acquainted with Ida Kou and then find out how to unlock other copies from him.

Yes, Xingchuan Heming has no idea how to open the copy, he has to find a way himself.

The police began to get busy at the scene again. Kimura Katsumoto had killed someone, and because he had hostility towards Hoshikawa and Akira, he was temporarily detained at the scene as a poisoning suspect.

After the initial confusion and reversal, Conan, who had calmed down, obviously thought of the connection between the two cases, so he asked in the name of Maori Kogoro who was still sleeping:

"Hashikawa, is there any conflict between you and the pastry chef Yuko Kobayashi?"

Hoshikawa Kazuaki had already confirmed it repeatedly in his memory, so he answered with certainty:

"I don't remember any conflicts between me and Ms. Kobayashi. In fact, because I couldn't go out, I didn't know her at all. I just bought her Japanese confectionery a few times."

"Not familiar with her! How dare you say that? Don't tell me that you still don't know who she is!"

Kimura Katsu suddenly spoke up at this moment. He was so angry that he shouted without thinking:

"When you released your new comic half a year ago, she met with you as your fan representative!"

This time Xingchuan Heming was really surprised. He tried hard to search in his memory and indeed remembered that he had met a fan, but that was half a year ago. Although the fan representative was very enthusiastic, they only met once at that time. It was normal that he did not remember the other person's appearance... right?

He looked at Kimura Katsu's eyes which looked like they were about to spit fire, and he actually felt a little guilty.

Kimura Masaru is still angry about Kobayashi Yuko, who was killed by him:

"Yuko was very excited when she found out that her new neighbor turned out to be a manga artist she had always liked, but you acted like you didn't even know her! Yuko was very upset about this for a long time."

Conan remembered the black fan letter he found in Hoshikawa and Ming's room, and couldn't help but say in the voice of Maori Kogoro:

"So she wrote to Xingchuan in the name of a fan with a fierce and vicious tone? Did she want to attract Xingchuan's attention in this way?"

Unexpectedly, Kimura Katsu actually smiled bitterly and replied:

"No, Yuko said that people are very fragile psychologically when they are sick, so she wanted to make Hoshikawa fall into the anxiety of being attacked by fans during his recovery period, and then appear in front of him like a caring big sister when Hoshikawa is most helpless, so that she can completely capture his heart - just like Yuko did to me!"

Everyone cried out in amazement again.

Takagi Wataru was already sweating profusely after hearing this, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's actually...it's actually like this? What a scary woman!"

Inspector Megure took the opportunity to ask, "You are jealous of Xingchuan and Ming for getting Kobayashi Yuko's attention, and you also hate Kobayashi Yuko's betrayal, so you want to poison them at the same time?"

Unexpectedly, Kimura Katsu's eyes turned red and he said angrily:

"How is that possible? If Yuko liked me and fell in love with someone else at the same time, how could I be so angry? It was Yuko who said that she would never marry someone like me in her life, so I made up my mind to kill her, so that she would never leave me!"

A thought came to everyone's mind at the same time: It turns out that only perverts and perverts are the most suitable match.

"Officer Megure, the test results are in," a police officer ran over to report, "Both the food from Hoshikawa Kazuaki and Kobayashi Yuko were found to contain toxic ingredients, and it was the same poison that the deceased was poisoned with before his death."

Upon hearing the news, all the police officers present had serious expressions on their faces, but it was Kimura Katsu who suddenly burst into laughter.

"That's great. At noon, Yuko insisted that I eat a bite of Japanese sweets. She must have wanted to poison me too. As expected, I knew that Yuko still had me in her heart. That's great..."

Everyone looked at Kimura Masaru who was laughing crazily, and at the same time showed an indescribable expression.

However, Date Kou couldn't stand it any longer and reminded him in a depressing way:

"But now the result is that the deceased was not only poisoned, but was also killed by you before the poison took effect. The most likely possibility now is that she herself did not know that the food was poisoned."

Kimura Katsu suddenly choked up, his face flushed, and after a long while he managed to utter:

"This is the Japanese confectionery that Yuko made herself. She must know that she was the one who poisoned it."

At this time, the police officer who was in charge of investigating the situation at the dessert shop had also returned and reported to Inspector Megure:

"A service staff member can testify that the poisonous sauce was specially prepared by Yuko Kobayashi. But the reason is that her friend gave her a paper charm. It is said that if you burn it into ashes and mix it with food and eat it with the person you like, you will get that person's eternal attachment. Kobayashi also said privately that she must get Xingchuan and Ming, so the sauce with paper ashes was originally prepared for Xingchuan and Ming, and the boyfriend was just a by-product."

The police officer looked at Xingchuan Heming with an extremely complicated look, as if to say, you are such a sinful man.

"In that case, the person who provided the talisman might be the real poisoner, and Kobayashi Yuko was just used. Or even this method itself was a trap set by the other party, and the purpose was..."

Inspector Megure got stuck halfway through his analysis, and he looked to Maori Kogoro for help again:

"Brother Maori, who do you think the other party's target is?"

He was answered by a series of purring sounds.

Inspector Megure raised his voice again: "Brother Maori?"

Maori Kogoro suddenly woke up, stood up and looked around, shouting: "Where is Miss Yoko? Where is she?"

Inspector Megure was ashamed: "Are you confused again? Forget it, you should go back to sleep."

"Actually, you forgot one thing," Yi Dahang said in a deep voice with sharp eyes:

"The first person to realize that there might be poisoning was Hoshikawa Kazuaki, who was lucky enough to escape! And Ms. Kobayashi was also preparing to feed him food mixed with paper ash, so Hoshikawa Kazuaki was most likely the main target of poisoning."

He then looked at Xingchuan and Ming: "Do you have any clues about this?"

"I don't have any enemies, and I don't think there's anyone I know who hates me to the point of wanting to kill me. So I think you still have to look for clues from the person who provided the talisman that Ms. Kobayashi contacted," Hoshikawa Kazuaki concluded.

However, Date Hang reminded him, "Have you forgotten? There is still one question that has not been clarified. Wasn't the laptop in your room opened without your knowledge? It even displayed some kind of prompt and then suddenly broke down. And this incident is very likely related to the poisoning case."

Xingchuan and Ming were stunned and fell silent. Because of his inexplicable electronic product killer physique, he rarely used computers, so he would naturally ignore these things out of habit. But the mastermind behind the scenes didn't know this, so could the abnormality of the computer really be related to the other party?

Why did the other party want to kill me? Just for an old computer that I rarely used?

"I have already asked my colleagues in the technical department to try to recover the data on that computer."

As he said this, Date Kou took out his cell phone and looked at it, then he showed an expression of "as expected". He looked up at Hoshikawa Kazuaki.

"The content has been parsed. The computer was hacked by an expert. The other party sent a total of 183 identical prompt messages -"

"That's a murder notice!"

The author has something to say:

Does the image of the deceased and the murderer give you goosebumps?

Ida said, how can there be a couple who don't know how to cherish each other? It's simply incomprehensible. My wife Natalie and I are never like this~~~ We often go out on dates and have a very good relationship.

Thanks to the encouragement and nutrition liquid from the little cuties. Such a wonderful temptation made me come right away~v~
