My neighbor's name is Conan

After a pause, Aoki Matsu looked at Kataoka Hanshiro and said, "Based on the current situation, Mr. Oonuki is the most suspicious. Mr. Kataoka, for Miss Renka, please try to control your emotions and don't let Mr. Oonuki and others notice."

Not to mention that Aoki Matsu knew about this case, the kidnapper was Oonuki Soichi.

Even if he didn't remember it, Soichi Oonuki was a very strong suspect.

why?

Because in general, kidnappers will not ask people to give money.

Generally, a remote and convenient place is designated, and someone is asked to place the ransom there at a specified time.

Even if someone is needed to deliver the money, it will be an absolute relative of the hostage. No outsider will be allowed to deliver the money.

Otherwise, what if this outsider suddenly has a bad idea, becomes greedy, and runs away with the money?

That's 138 million yen, which is million US dollars at the current exchange rate.

With this money, you can live a good life wherever you go.

Hearing this, Kataoka Hanshiro nodded seriously, "I understand."

After all, he is the boss who founded Kataoka Company from scratch, so he can still manage his facial expressions.

"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

Aoki Matsu got up and opened the door. It was Sato Miwako.

"Inspector Aoki, I'm here." said Miwako Sato.

After Aoki Matsu let Sato Miwako in, he closed the door again and said to Sato Miwako: "Maruta has already told you everything. You need to be in charge here for the time being. I will go find the place where the hostages were transferred."

Takagi Shigeru's position in the Metropolitan Police Department is still a bit low. Aoki Matsu has to go out to find Kataoka Renka, so a person in charge must come here to act in front of Ohnuki Soichi and others, so Aoki Matsu called Sato Miwako.

"Yes!" replied Miwako Sato.

"Pay attention to Mr. Onuki and Miss Kono. I have just asked Mr. Kataoka. They are the most suspicious, but other people in the Kataoka family cannot be ruled out directly." Aoki Matsu warned.

"I understand." Sato Miwako replied.

Then Aoki Matsu left the Kataoka family and went to find Kataoka Renka.

He remembered that Oonuki Soichi threw Kataoka Renka into the river, intending to let the water drown her.

Aoki Matsu had used the mud and grass on the ground to remind Maruta Ayumi's people to look for him in places with water and mud. But Maruta Ayumi has not called yet, which means he has not been found yet.

It seems that he has to do it himself.

But it was obvious that Aoki Matsu was not the protagonist. He had just driven out of Kataoka's house when Maruta Ayumi called and said excitedly, "Inspector, we have found Miss Renka, and everything is as you guessed.

After helping Miss Lianhua to commit the kidnapping, Oonuki Soichi became greedy for the huge ransom, so he knocked Miss Lianhua unconscious and put her in the river, intending to drown her.

"I know. You guys take Miss Renhua to the hospital, and I will arrest Oonuki Soichi immediately." Aoki Matsu replied.

After hanging up the phone with Maruta Ayumi, Aoki Matsu first called Sato Miwako to tell her about this, and then turned around and rushed to Kataoka's house.

When Aoki Matsu arrived at the Kataoka family, Oonuki Soichi had already been captured by Sato Miwako.

When Kataoka Hanshiro saw Aoki Matsu coming back, he immediately went up to him and asked, "Inspector Aoki, my daughter."

"Detective Maruta and his team have found Miss Renhua. I asked them to send Miss Renhua to the hospital." Aoki Matsu replied.

"That's good, that's good." Kataoka Hanshiro finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Aoki Matsu set his eyes on Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Sato Miwako said with a smile, "I just came here for a walk and got a credit for nothing."

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu smiled and said, "Then you should thank Maruta for finding Miss Lianhua so quickly."

Upon hearing that Kataoka Renka had been found, Oonuki Soichi stopped struggling. His idea of ​​turning the kidnapping scene into a real one and embezzling the 150 million yen was shattered.

However, after rescuing the hostages and arresting the murderer, a small incident occurred - Kataoka Renka did not go to the hospital for a check-up, but insisted on going to the theater to play Princess Kaguya.

Maruta Ayumi and others couldn't do anything about this rich girl. They were worried that she would sneak out again. If something happened, they would be held criminally responsible. So they could only send Kataoka Renka to the theater first.

Because it was delivered in time, just in time for the play of Princess Kaguya, the performance of "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" by the Ito Tamonsuke Theater Company was a great success without outsiders noticing.

Afterwards, Aoki Matsu, as the main person in charge of the case, criticized and educated Kataoka Renka.

She was so smart that she could come up with the idea of ​​pretending to be kidnapping.

He brought this upon himself and almost died.

Kataoka Renka was really scared this time and dared not do it again.

At the same time, Kataoka Hanshiro was also frightened. Kataoka Renka was really capable of doing things that would make his father's "heart beat faster" and "breathing faster" and make him feel like he was suffocating.

So after the father and daughter sat down and had a "calm" conversation, Kataoka Hanshiro no longer stopped Kataoka Renka's dream and allowed her to continue to perform in the Ito Tamonsuke Theater Company, and Kataoka Hanshiro would occasionally go.

Later, Aoki Matsu heard the gossip about Maoli Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, and it seemed that something was wrong between Kataoka Renka and Ito Tamonsuke, as if they were in love.

But this is none of Aoki Matsu's business. Compared to him, Shinname Kaori is more interested in such gossip.

According to her, these are all raw materials.

***

After a few days of rest, the Metropolitan Police Department's emergency phone rang again. This time it was Nichiren TV, and someone had died.

Aoki Matsu hurriedly took his people to Nichimi TV.

As soon as I arrived at the scene, I saw Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

Aoki Matsu directly asked Maruta Ayumi to lead the others to "start work".

"Detective Mori, what's going on?" asked Aoki Matsu.

Maori Kogoro pointed at the dead man lying on the ground and said, "He died of cyanide poisoning. I just smelled a faint smell of bitter almonds in his mouth and nose."

Oh, this time it’s the veteran actor Cyanide!

Qing Musong nodded, then looked at the table. There were two cups of coffee and a cup of tea on the table. Another coffee cup was knocked over on the floor, leaving only a pool of coffee on the table. Judging from the spilled coffee, it should be the victim who drank it.

Then Qing Musong looked at the three people in the conference room and said, "Please introduce yourselves and tell us what happened. It would be better if you could give us some details."

The lady with curly chestnut hair among the three spoke first: "My name is 'Inoue Ryoko', and I'm a producer in the production department of Nichimi TV. The other two are Mr. Akira Sakuma and Mr. Tsuyoshi Koda, both of whom are screenwriters of "Detective Maguro". The deceased Mr. Joji Yagami was also a screenwriter of "Detective Maguro".

The four of us came here because I invited the famous detective Mr. Maori to come here and asked him to provide his case-handling experience to the three screenwriters so that the show "Detective Mamu" can be taken to a higher level.

Before Mr. Maori arrived, I wanted to discuss the future development of the program with the three of them, so I met with the three screenwriters earlier than Mr. Maori.

When Mr. Sakuma came to the meeting room, he said, "I really want to drink something." Mr. Koda said he would prepare it. Then we all said we wanted hot coffee, so Mr. Koda went to make some.

After a while, Mr. Xiangtian brewed the coffee and brought it in. He handed me a cup of coffee first, but then he realized that I wanted creamer in my coffee and he didn't give it to me.

So Mr. Koda put down the tray and went to the tea room to get creamer. At this time, Mr. Sakuma took the tray, put the cup of tea in Mr. Koda's place, then took a cup of coffee first and handed the last cup of coffee to Mr. Yagami.

After Mr. Yagami took the coffee and took a sip, he suddenly looked ferocious, knocked over the coffee cup, covered his neck with his hands, and then fell to the ground. When Mr. Sakuma and I reacted and went forward to check, we found that Mr. Yagami was dead, so we quickly called the police and notified Mr. Maori. "

Aoki Matsu looked at Akira Sakuma and Tsurugi Koda beside him and said, "Is there anything wrong with Ms. Inoue's statement?"

"No!" Akira Sakuma and Tsuyoshi Koda both shook their heads.

It wasn't long before the drug test results came out.

"The only cup of coffee that was spilled was poisoned. No poison was detected in the other three cups of coffee." said the criminal from the Forensic Department, holding up the test report.

"In other words, the criminal only poisoned Mr. Yagami's coffee." asked Maruta Ayumi.

The criminal from the forensic department nodded and said, "It should be correct."

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Koda Tsurugi and said, "Mr. Koda, you are the one who prepared the coffee, right?"

"Yes, as everyone ordered. The three of them always drink hot coffee. I drink neon tea." replied Tsuyoshi Koda.

"But preparing drinks is usually done by TV station staff, right?" Aoki Matsu asked.

Upon hearing this, Inoue Ryoko quickly replied, "Yes, that's right." But her face looked a little embarrassed.

On the other hand, Tsuyoshi Koda explained, "I've only just started my screenwriting career, so I thought I'd help out in any way I can... Is that weird?"

"There's nothing strange about it, but this makes you the most suspicious person in this case." Aoki Song looked at Tsurugi Koda and asked, "Have you always been doing this? Or did you suddenly do it today, or did someone specifically ask you to do this?"

"I've been doing this since I joined. No one specifically asked me to do this." Koda Tsurugi replied. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Oh, it must be the cups in the tea room. There was originally a final poison in them, but unfortunately, it was used by Mr. Yagami."

"Oh, it's a plan to kill people purely for the sake of killing!" Kogoro Mori said with a slightly sarcastic tone.

Because Kogoro Mori could tell at a glance that this was definitely not the case.

Hearing this, Tsurugi Koda looked at Kogoro Maori and asked, "Is there any other possibility?"

"Of course there are. Anyone who has been touched by a coffee cup may take the opportunity to poison it," said Aoki Matsu.

Ignoring the unpleasant look on Koda Tsurugi's face, Aoki Matsu asked the criminal next to him, "Did you ask the staff member who was in charge of pouring tea?"

Upon hearing this, Detective Hirota came over and replied, "Inspector Aoki, I've already asked. Ms. Okada at the front desk said that she wanted to prepare it, but Mr. Koda refused. Because Mr. Koda said that he could prepare it himself."

Upon hearing this, Tatsuo Koda quickly said, "When Ms. Okada came to the tea room, I had already made and poured the coffee, so she said I would just prepare it."

Aoki Matsu nodded, then looked at Sakuma Akira and asked, "Mr. Sakuma, why did you take the coffee first? Mr. Yagami should be your senior, right?"

"Although we are senior and junior, we are very close friends, so at that time, I took one cup first, and then passed the remaining cup to Mr. Yagami on the tray." Sakuma Akira tried to clear himself of suspicion. "I didn't touch the cup at that time, I moved the tray directly."

The forensic detective said, "On the coffee cup that showed signs of poison detection, only the fingerprints of the victim and Mr. Xiangtian were found."

Qing Musong nodded, "I understand. Please stay here for a moment. We need to search the tea room. In addition, cyanide needs to be contained in something, so we need to search the three of you. Because if you are the murderer, then it is very likely that the thing containing cyanide is still on you."

"I'm not the murderer." The three of them quickly denied.

Aoki Matsu showed a "kind" smile and said, "I am just assuming. Please cooperate with me."

"This..." The three of them looked at each other.

But under Aoki Matsu's sharp gaze, he still agreed to the body search.

Aoki Matsu asked Maruta Ayumi to lead the group and search them. He turned around and left the room and went to the tea room.

At present, the most likely suspect is undoubtedly Tsutomu Koda, who had enough time and opportunity to poison the coffee.

But the problem is that it was Akira Sakuma who took the coffee cup first. Also, given the close distance between him and the victim, Yagami Ryouji, it was impossible for Akira Sakuma to poison the coffee.

Because Yagami Ryouji is not a fool, it is impossible for him to watch the other party put something into his coffee cup and then drink the coffee.

In this situation, Tatsuo Koda was unable to accurately kill Ryouji Yagami.

After thinking about it, Aoki Matsu decided to search the tea room first to see if he could find anything containing cyanide.

Regardless of whether cyanide is in powder or liquid form, anything that has been filled with cyanide can be detected in drug tests.

If it really was Tsuyoshi Koda, then there was a high probability that he would have poisoned the tea room, and his fingerprints might have been detected on the things containing cyanide.

Because powdered cyanide is usually packed in plastic bags, and liquid cyanide is packed in small glass bottles.

Both materials can easily be fingerprinted.
