Seeing that Megure Jusan was thinking seriously, Edogawa Conan continued, "Moreover, the deceased was playing the game at the time, with his hands and feet tightly tied to the game console, and he couldn't move as he wished. In addition, in order to make it easier for players to see the screen clearly, the lights in the amusement park are dimmed."

Megure Jusan looked around and got confirmation from the waiters. He stroked his chin and said, "So even if the deceased screamed in pain at the time, it would most likely be drowned out by the noise in the arcade."

Takagi added seriously: "At that time, everyone's attention was focused on their respective games or the central screen, so even if someone poisoned someone, it would probably be ignored."

Megure Jusan nodded: "Okay, then let the forensic doctor take the man back for an autopsy to determine the cause of his death first."

Several police officers and forensic doctors immediately took action.

Seeing that things were developing as he wished, Edogawa Conan lowered his head and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Judy started paying attention to Conan Edogawa since he ran to see the corpse. Seeing this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. This little boy is interesting.

Si Xuanyu saw the "you look at the corpse and I look at you" scene between Judy and Edogawa Conan, and was speechless at Edogawa Conan's lack of restraint.

Let’s just say, are you really not pretending at all?

Si Xuanyu calmly tugged at Mao Lilan's clothes, motioning her to go see Judy and Edogawa Conan.

Mao Lilan had something to hide, and when she saw Judy's eyes, she immediately felt guilty. What did Judy's eyes mean?

What did Judy discover?

In other words, who is Judy and why does she care about Edogawa Conan?

Mao Lilan became alert and just wanted to leave quickly, but it was obviously impossible to leave in the current situation. She looked at Si Xuanyu anxiously, and Si Xuanyu shrugged helplessly.

Megure Juzo didn't know about the lawsuit here. He felt that even if the cause of death was found, they couldn't just look for the murderer. It was the time when school was over and work was over, and the game hall business was very good. There were too many people inside, and it would be time-consuming and laborious to check them one by one, and it would also be easy for someone to take advantage of the situation.

So Megure Juzo suggested to first narrow down the scope of suspects and find out who might be involved in the case.

Dejima Jun, who was standing by, stepped forward immediately and said, "We have surveillance cameras installed throughout the store. We just checked and patched them up a few days ago to ensure that there are no blind spots in the store except in the bathroom."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru took two steps forward and said, "Then please take us to the monitoring room to see if we can record the footage of the deceased."

Chu Daojun glanced at Si Xuanyu. He had just heard Si Xuanyu say that this game hall belonged to their group and the boss was present, so he had to ask for permission before watching the surveillance footage.

Si Xuanyu was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me? I don't even know where the monitoring room is."

After hearing this, Dejima Jun knew that Si Xuanyu agreed to watch the surveillance video. He breathed a sigh of relief and led the policemen to the monitoring room.

Ran Mouri and others nearby also followed, and Takashi Shimizu, who had a duel with the deceased, was also taken along because of the strong connection with the deceased.

Conan Edogawa, who was about to go with them, suddenly stopped and pricked up his ears to listen carefully. What was that sound?

The sound was very faint, and Edogawa Conan could not tell the source of the sound or the object making the sound. He frowned slightly and thought, then looked up and saw Si Xuanyu. Edogawa Conan's eyes immediately lit up.

Si Xuanyu was just about to join in the fun when Edogawa Conan pulled his pants.

Edogawa Conan waved to Si Xuanyu, and after Si Xuanyu bent down, he whispered in her ear and asked: "Sister Xuanyu, did you hear any strange sounds? It's a bit like the sound of metal hitting or rubbing."

Si Xuanyu understood immediately: "Are you talking about the sound made by the stuff stuck under the waiter's shoes and the ground when he walked?"

Edogawa Conan was stunned, and then seemed to be thinking about something. What was sticky under the shoes?

A group of people came to the monitoring room, and Suzuki Sonoko was very active in pointing out when they saw the deceased: "It was here, the dead man was sitting in that seat at this time. Look, he ran over and said that it was his exclusive seat, and drove us away."

Megure Jusan immediately paused the video and checked it carefully, then saw Dejima Hitoshi squatting at the lower left side of the device to pack up the coin box: "Is this Mr. Dejima? What were you doing at that time?"

Dejima Jun quickly explained: "It's like this, I happened to be collecting the game coins in the coin box at that time."

Megure Jusan looked away, without making any comment. Then he saw Shimizu Takao standing to the right of the deceased, seemingly talking to him: "Is this Mr. Shimizu? What did you say to Oto Kengo?"

Shimizu Takashi was chewing gum, a little absent-minded, but he immediately came back to his senses and explained: "I just went to test his strategy before the battle, but I didn't expect him to just stand there and not attack. I was curious."

Megure Jusan continued to watch the surveillance video and found that after Shimizu Takao left the deceased's location, he suddenly bent down and seemed to pick up something from the ground: "What did you pick up from the ground?"

Shimizu Takao shrugged, "I accidentally dropped my lighter, I was just picking it up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Xuanyu suddenly interrupted: "The camera we installed is ultra-high definition, Inspector Megure, you can zoom in and take a closer look at the details of his hands."

When Shimizu Takashi heard this, his body stiffened slightly, and the ominous premonition he had had since the alarm sounded became stronger.

When Megure Jusan heard what Si Xuanyu said, he immediately asked Si Xuanyu for help. Si Xuanyu readily agreed and helped Megure Jusan to enlarge the picture.

Then, everyone clearly saw the cigarette wrapped in chewing gum stuck on paper placed on the ground when Shimizu Takashi bent down under the pretext of picking up a lighter. There seemed to be some reflection on the front end of the cigarette.

Everyone:...! ! !

Megure Jusan immediately realized something: "Mr. Shimizu, please explain, what is this?"

Shimizu Takaho tried to remain calm: "It's just a little prank. It's just a game hall, so this shouldn't be considered too much, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Xuanyu pulled up another picture: "That thing seems to have been stepped on by Chu Daojun."

Dejima Jun immediately lifted up both feet to check, and sure enough, he found a piece of paper stuck on the right shoe.

Megure Juzo immediately peeled off the paper on the shoes with skill, and found a cigarette wrapped in chewing gum inside, with a thin needle stuck in the cigarette.

Everyone was surprised again, this was such a coincidence.

Megure Juzo immediately looked at Shimizu Takashi, but before he could say anything, the door of the monitoring room was knocked.

A police officer opened the door and reported to Megure Jusan: "Inspector, the forensic doctor has found pufferfish toxin in the deceased's blood. The wound is on the inside of the deceased's right upper arm."
