My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 883 Qing Musong Dare to Swear with His Head

Maori Kogoro said to Aoki Matsu who was leading the team: "Inspector Aoki, this is what happened."

Qing Musong nodded and said, "I understand." Then he looked at everyone and asked, "You didn't leave the living room after the incident, right?"

"No!" Maori Kogoro said, "I watched and no one touched those Baumkuchen cakes."

After a while, the victim's basic information came out.

"The victim is Mr. Ikuro Wakamatsu, 25 years old, the son of Mr. Kohei Wakamatsu, the president of a design company who passed away in Karuizawa last month. Is that correct, right?" Maruta Ayumi said to Serika Wakamatsu who was standing at the door.

Seeing this, Wakamatsu Qinxiang quickly responded, "Yes, yes."

"The preliminary judgment is that the victim's cause of death was cyanide poisoning," Maruta Ayumi continued.

Aoki Matsu raised his eyebrows. Another veteran actor!

"Inspector, come and take a look here." Nanatsuki Koshimizu shouted at this time.

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong hurried over.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu pointed at a teacup and said, "Look at the bottom of this cup of black tea. There is something like a capsule, but it has almost melted. The murderer may have opened the capsule and sprinkled poison on the Baumkuchen. When Detective Mori and the others were distracted by the body, he quickly threw it into the cup of black tea. Once the capsule is dissolved, there will be no way to find fingerprints."

Upon hearing this, Aihara Yoji immediately said, "So, the person next to this cup of black tea is the murderer."

Hattori Heishi looked at the five people outside and said, "That being said, after Uncle Maori told everyone not to touch the body, everyone gathered around this table. Therefore, anyone in the room at that time could have taken advantage of the chaos to throw a capsule into this cup of tea, right?"

Ah!

Wakamatsu Serika, Yonehara Sakurako, Satake Yoshimi, Shiina Masashige, and Fujinami Jun'ei, who were standing at the door, were all shocked.

Wow, this is really a rare choice between five!

When Wakamatsu Serika heard what Hattori Heiji said, she said fearfully, "I'm afraid I can't do that. I didn't even get close to that Baumkuchen at that time, and that cup of tea was originally mine."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong looked at the five people and asked, "Then who will cut the annual ring cake?"

Upon hearing this, Yonehara Sakurako quickly said, "Yes, I was the one who cut the cake, but Ms. Satake also helped put the cake on the plate, and she was the one who asked me to cut it into eight equal parts and share it with everyone."

Aoki Song raised an eyebrow and asked, "Eight equal parts?"

Satake Yoshimi pushed up his glasses and said, "There are six guests here, my wife and Mr. Ikuro, plus the portion for General Manager Shiina who loves sweets very much, so the total portion should be cut into eight portions. And the person who bought the Baumkuchen was the general manager, so if we add more, I think each person will get too little."

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Shiina Masafuji and said, "Did you buy the Baumkuchen?"

Shiina Masayuki responded, "Yes, because the late president and I both loved the Baumkuchen from that store, so we always buy it every time we come here. Today, I bought it while driving here with Fujinami here."

Maori Kogoro heard this and looked at Fujinami Jun'ei and asked, "By the way, you said you had eaten Baumkuchen outside, right?"

"Ah!" Fujinami Jun'o replied in shock, "It was just a small piece. When I was sitting in the car waiting in front of the store, the general manager handed me the box of Baumkuchen, but he suddenly said he forgot to take the invoice, so he immediately went back to the store. While waiting for him, I ate a little on a whim." As he spoke, he became embarrassed and his voice became lower and lower.

Yuanshan Heye suddenly said at this time: "Yes, yes, my portion is a little short."

Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro immediately came up to him and reasoned, "That means given your situation, you have plenty of time to poison the entire Baumkuchen in advance."

Upon hearing this, Aihara Yoji immediately said, "So that means the poison was put on the entire Baumkuchen, and Mr. Ikuro just happened to be the first one to eat the cake. Is that what you mean, Detective Maori?"

Maori Kogoro denied it and said, "No, this is an inevitable result. Because Mr. Ikuro was very hungry at the time and ate everything..."

Aoki Matsu interrupted Maori Kogoro and said, "If that's the case, there's no need for the murderer to put this capsule into the black tea!"

Maori Kogoro said smugly: "Humph, that's just an illusion"

Aihara Yoji was stunned when he heard this. "Illusion?"

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He wanted to listen to Kogoro Mori's "profound theory".

"I'm acting as if nothing happened and pretending that poison was put in it just to clear myself of suspicion since I didn't get close to the Baumkuchen. Am I wrong?" At this time, Kogoro Mouri approached Fujinami Jun'o and asked.

Fujinami Junsheng nervously defended himself after hearing this: "Then why would I confess? They said I stole the food. And before I arrived at this house and parked my car in the garage, the general manager had already received the annual cake before me, so he also had the opportunity to poison it!"

Shiina Masafuji didn't expect that Fujinami Jun's war would spread to him, and he was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Fujinami Jun's words continued, "Besides, I didn't know that my stupid son was hungry. How could he poison the entire Baumkuchen? That's impossible, because if someone ate it first, they would probably die first, right?"

【As expected! 】

[Uncle Maori, your reasoning is still so poor! ]

Aoki Matsu complained silently in his heart.

but……

Fujinami Junsheng is right. It is impossible to put poison on the whole ring cake. Otherwise, it will backfire.

Maruta Ayumi thought for a moment and said, "But why is Mr. Ikuro hungry?"

Yonehara Sakurako quickly replied, "Because I ran out of soy sauce, I went out to buy some, so I was late in preparing dinner."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong asked, "Who knows in advance: He is hungry?"

Wakamatsu Serika looked at the people around her and said, "My secretary, Ms. Satake, and the housekeeper, Ms. Yonehara, should be able to figure it out."

Yonehara Sakurako nodded and said, "Yes!"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki said at this time: "Mr. Ikuro grabbed one of the two remaining pieces of Baumkuchen on the tray with his hands and ate it. Did he eat it like this before?"

Yonehara Sakurako nodded and replied, "Yes, because he said it tastes better and he doesn't even need a fork to eat the fruit."

Hattori Heiji looked at Yonehara Sakurako and reasoned, "You didn't poison the larger piece of the cake in order to let Mr. Ikuro, who was greedy, eat it first!"

Upon hearing this, Yonehara Sakurako immediately retorted: "Wait, I clearly cut it into 8 equal parts. Isn't the cake I gave you the same size?"

Qing Musong stopped the quarrel between the two and looked at everyone. "In short, we are going to check carefully again from now on. As for the remaining Baumkuchen and tea, after everyone has been searched, can you please go to another room and wait?"

Can you say no?

Of course not.

So everyone went to the study.

Aoki Matsu wanted to train Koshimizu Nanatsuki, so he gave the task of searching the living room to Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

He went directly to the study to supervise several people.

In the study, Wakamatsu Qinxiang sat on a chair in front of the desk, looking at a document, and said in distress: "It's really a headache. The design order that was due at the end of this month is almost overdue, and at this time, Ikuro happened to have such a thing."

Shiina Masafuji also said: "Looks like we may not be able to go back tonight."

Fujinami Junsei complained, "No way, I haven't finished the rest of my work yet."

Satake Yoshimi frowned and said, "I still have some documents for the vice president to sign and seal. Also, the text color and design I wanted you to choose have been uploaded to the computer here. Have you taken a look?"

Wakamatsu Qinxiang said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I tell you to print it out and show it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Satake Yoshimi quickly said, "I'm sorry, because the previous president always told me to handle it that way."

Wakamatsu Serika explained, "The computers here have a different operating system than mine, so I can't use them at all. Forget it, I'll look at it with the general manager and the others later. Tell me which folder it is."

"Yes," replied Satake Yoshimi.

At this time, Fujinami Junsheng suddenly said, "Speaking of the president, is that what the stupid son just mentioned true? The guy who continues the president's bloodline will inherit the company in the future."

Satake Yoshimi also looked at Wakamatsu Serika and asked, "I was shocked when I heard that."

Shiina Masafuji also said, "Me too!"

Wakamatsu Serika looked at the information and said, "This is probably just the child's wishful thinking."

Fujinami Jun'ei was immediately delighted when he heard this. "Well, I don't want to work under that stupid son. This is really a relief."

When Aoki Matsu heard what several people said, he immediately looked at Wakamatsu Serika.

[If that's the case, then Wakamatsu Serika is a suspect of murder. ]

Hattori Heiji couldn't stand it any longer, "Hey, you guys..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted loudly.

"Please don't go too far, okay? Another person has passed away now! Moreover, although Mr. Ikuro has always been distant from everyone, it is also a fact that he was poisoned. And the murderer may be among the people present. Please make sure you understand the situation first," said Sakurako Yonehara loudly.

"Okay." Seeing this, Qing Musong stood up and interrupted the quarrel, then looked at everyone and said, "Ms. Yonehara, could you please tell me about another case?"

Aoki Matsu dared to swear on his own head that Wakamatsu Ikuro’s death must be related to the previous case.

I just don't know whether they are fighting for the family property or seeking revenge against the Wakamatsu family.

"What case?" Yonehara Sakurako asked blankly.

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu explained, "It was you who first discovered that President Wakamatsu was murdered in the bathroom of the Karuizawa villa last month!"

Upon hearing this, Yonehara Sakurako responded: "Hey! Yeah"

"I heard that at that time, there was a death message written by President Wakamatsu in his own blood, but it disappeared after the police arrived, is that right?" Aoki Matsu looked at Yonehara Sakurako and asked.

Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro also looked at Yonehara Sakurako and said, "I remember you said that you remembered what the disappeared text was?"

Mao Lilan also said: You seem to say that it is the English alphabet.

Yuanshan Heye responded, "It's hard. Could it be those words? Is it the word eye?"

Yonehara Sakurako was stunned. "EYE?"

Hattori Heiji explained: "It should mean eyes."

Yuanshan Heye followed up and said, "I saw it too. The murderer who killed the president called me to the bathroom of the president's house in his hometown, and I saw the words before his death that suddenly disappeared."

Wakamatsu Serika was surprised when she heard this. "Osaka? Could it be."

Aoki Matsu has been paying attention to Wakamatsu Serika's expression. Her expression doesn't look like just surprise!

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji explained: "That is why we came here specially to ask you for advice."

Yonehara Sakurako said with some confusion: "But what I saw at that time was the English letter S. There seemed to be some other words behind it, but it was blocked by my hand and I couldn't see it."

After listening to what Sakurako Yonehara said.

Qing Musong and others were stunned.

Not E, Y, E, but S!

Hattori Heiji's expression changed when he heard this. "Wait a minute, the general manager Mr. Shiina Masashige, the chief designer Mr. Tengba Junsheng, the secretary Ms. Satake Yoshimi, and the president's wife Ms. Wakamatsu Serika, don't all their last names or first letters have "s" in them?"

Everyone was shocked and said, “Ah!”

Yonehara Sakurako said fearfully at this time: "Well, my name is Sakurako, so there is also the letter S in it."

Hattori Heiji was even more shocked when he heard this. "What did you say?"

Qing Musong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

[It's really a one-out-of-five choice. What clues are hidden in the missing message before death? 】

Maori Kogoro held his chin and said, "In other words, the only person whose first letter is not "S" is Mr. Ikuro who was killed this time. So what did you do after you found the body?"

Yonehara Sakurako replied, "I ran out without even thinking. Where was my wife who was in the living room of the villa?"

Wakamatsu Serika nodded and replied, "Yes, Yonehara and I went together to check my husband's body. When I saw my husband lying there, I immediately asked Yonehara to call the police and an ambulance. I also reminded Yonehara to remember to use the phone in the study, because sometimes the signal is not good in that area and you can't make calls. After Yonehara went to the study, I went to call Ikuro."

Upon hearing this, Yonehara Sakurako responded, "That's right."

Qing Musong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

[In that case, Ms. Yonehara was alone with the corpse for a while before she went to call Mrs. Wakamatsu. Mrs. Wakamatsu was also alone with the corpse for a while when Ms. Yonehara went to the study to make a phone call.]
