Establishing the Teyvat Organization in KO

When Conan saw Mr. Matsumoto's condition, he immediately asked Xiaolan to contact a doctor and the police.

At this time, he noticed that Xia Xi was standing there without moving, and was a little confused.

But the situation is urgent now, and it is important to save Teacher Matsumoto first.

Conan approached Teacher Matsumoto and wanted to check on her condition. Gradually, Conan frowned - something was wrong, Teacher Matsumoto's condition was a little strange, she seemed to be fine.

Conan thought of Xia Xi, who had been standing aside and doing nothing from the beginning, and even vaguely kept others from approaching Mr. Matsumoto. Maybe because he was a child, he thought that he could not see Mr. Matsumoto's true situation, so he did not stop him from approaching Mr. Matsumoto (in fact, Conan acted too fast and Xia Xi did not have time to stop him). He realized that this must be related to her. I don't know what she said to Mr. Matsumoto to make him do this to cooperate with her.

But Conan didn't say anything. Although he had only known Xia Xi for a short time, he knew her character well enough to know her. He knew that there was no reason for her to do this casually, especially since she could convince Teacher Matsumoto. But what was the reason?

Conan thought about Xia Xi’s previous reaction. Could this be related to the groom?

The ambulance arrived soon, and Conan watched Teacher Matsumoto being taken into the ambulance for emergency treatment.

Most of the people attending the wedding were police officers, so the police, including Inspector Megure, quickly took control of the scene.

Forensic personnel confirmed that the substance mixed in the lemon tea at the drop scene was sodium hydroxide.

"Sodium hydroxide?" Xia Xi blurted out in surprise.

Originally, Xia Xi thought that since the man chose to drug the bride at the wedding and wanted to end her life at the happiest moment of her life, he must have great ill will towards the bride, so he should choose a deadly poison.

But she didn't expect that the groom actually used sodium hydroxide, a non-lethal drug.

In fact, although sodium hydroxide is strongly alkaline, it is also very irritating and corrosive. Taking it may cause permanent burns to the digestive tract, and even shock in severe cases.

But its strong irritation and corrosiveness also mean that even if someone accidentally ingests it, they will react quickly and will not ingest so much sodium hydroxide that they go into shock.

In other words, the groom did not actually intend to kill Miss Matsumoto.

But! This is not much better - you know, sodium hydroxide will corrode the mouth and even the throat as long as it is drunk. The damage it causes is likely to be permanent, which means that Miss Matsumoto may not be able to speak easily in the future, let alone sing.

Miss Matsumoto is a music teacher, and Xiaolan and the others have said that Miss Matsumoto sings very well. That man didn't intend to kill her, but he intended to destroy her voice directly. Xia Xi didn't know whether to say that he was cruel.

What on earth did Miss Matsumoto do to make him use this method to take revenge on a girl who liked him and was even about to marry him?

Conan looked at Xia Xi's surprised expression and immediately realized that the thing in the lemon tea was not arranged by Xia Xi - in other words, someone at the scene did drug Teacher Matsumoto, and Xia Xi knew about it.

There is only one person who can make Xia Xi and Teacher Matsumoto choose not to directly expose the murderer and make such an arrangement - Conan slowly looked at the other party involved in today's wedding - today's groom.

At this time, other police officers were also actively looking for clues.

There were seven people in and out of the lounge before Sayuri Matsumoto took effect, including Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Umemiya-senpai, the bride's best friend Takeuchi Nakaichimi, the groom Takasugi Toshihiko, and the bride's father Matsumoto Kiyonaga. According to the camera that had been placed in the bride's room, only four people touched the lemon tea in the bride's hand - Umemiya-senpai, Takenaka Kazumi, Takasugi Toshihiko, and Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

When Xia Xi guessed that something might happen today, she had been paying close attention to her surroundings, which is why she noticed the groom's subtle actions of drugging her. Therefore, she also discovered one thing - before Miss Matsumoto fell down, she mistakenly drank the lemon tea that Sonoko had placed on the table before she left. Xia Xi noticed it, and when she was about to remind him, the groom rushed in.

All these cameras recorded it. Due to the camera angle, the two cans of lemon tea on the table looked like only one. But if you look closely, you will find that the direction of the label on the lemon tea bottle on the table changed after the image was blocked. So there were only three fingerprints on the poisonous beverage bottle: Sonoko, Sayuri Matsumoto, and Toshihiko Takasugi. And Sonoko was fine after drinking the same can of beverage, so the beverage was not poisonous at that time. In addition, sodium hydroxide will be deliquesced into liquid when exposed to air, so the murderer must have placed it in a glass bottle with desiccant before poisoning. The glass bottle containing desiccant was later found by the police and was found to be abandoned in the trash can in the corridor, which indirectly proved that the poison must have been brought into the room by someone other than Sayuri Matsumoto. After eliminating all the culprits, the murderer can only be the groom.

Xia Xi didn't plan to delay solving the case for too long. Seeing that most of the clues had been collected, he pointed out the murderer directly in front of everyone and also pointed out the clues one by one.

When Matsumoto Kiyonaga heard that the person who hurt his daughter was the groom of today's wedding, he was furious and rushed to Takasugi Toshihiko and grabbed him by the collar.

"It's you! Tell me, why? Why did you hurt my daughter?!" Matsumoto Kiyonaga yelled at Takasugi angrily.

Seeing that the evidence was irrefutable, Takasugi Toshihiko did not deny it. He waved away Matsumoto Kiyonaga's hand, and said with a hint of resentment and a hint of joy of revenge, "This is all your fault. Your daughter's accident is entirely because of you!"

Then he talked about what happened 20 years ago. It turned out that 20 years ago, when Sayuri Matsumoto's father was catching a fugitive, he implicated the bridegroom and his mother who were passing by. But at that time, he was so focused on catching the fugitive that he didn't find her, which caused her to miss the best time for treatment and die. After his mother died, the bridegroom, who had no other relatives, was adopted by the Takasugi couple. Seven years ago, Takasugi Toshihiko discovered that his girlfriend's best friend was the daughter of the person who indirectly killed his mother, so he began to approach her to avenge her.

So that's how it is. So this is the reason why Takasugi Toshihiko attacked Matsumoto Sayuri.

Xia Xi originally thought that Sayuri Matsumoto had accidentally done something to offend Takasugi Toshihiko, or that there was some misunderstanding, but she didn't expect that the reason he attacked was because of Sayuri Matsumoto's father!

Xia Xi found that she could not quite understand Takasugi Toshihiko's logic. Matsumoto Kiyonaga indirectly killed his mother. If you hate him, then seek revenge on him. What does this have to do with Matsumoto Sayuri?

Paimon was also a little confused, "Traveler, why did the groom attack the bride? Miss Matsumoto shouldn't have done anything to offend him, right?" He guessed, "Do you think he wanted to make Sheriff Matsumoto also feel the pain of losing his loved ones to avenge him?"

Xia Xi hesitated, "That shouldn't be the case. Isn't he the heir of a group? He can't be so shameless even in revenge..."

"I just want you to experience the pain of losing a loved one!" Takasugi Toshihiko said with a happy smile as he looked at Matsumoto Kiyonaga's painful expression after he knew the truth.

Ah, it’s true.

What is this? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
