Chapter 95 The Lucky Transfer Student

A new transfer student has arrived at Teitan High School. Conan heard about this new transfer student from Ran. His name is Sachi. He has brown curly hair, freckles on his face, wears a pair of black-framed glasses, and often has a shy smile on his face.

While seemingly insignificant, the things that happened to him were truly bizarre. For example, when buying a drink at a vending machine, the person before him always seemed to forget to take the change, allowing him to get a free drink. Or when it was his turn to help carry sports equipment, he always carried the easiest load. Or when he accidentally fell on the playground and just avoided a baseball flying towards his head.

"All in all, he's a very lucky person." Xiaolan and Sonoko took Conan to a cafe to complain about the new classmate.

"Um, may I ask what would you two like to order?" Lucky pushed his glasses nervously and put the menu in front of Xiaolan.

"Eh? Aren't you Axing? You're working here?" Sonoko was a little surprised.

"Shh, keep your voice down. It seems like everyone is looking at me. I feel embarrassed." Lucky scratched his head.

"Oh, sorry." Xiaolan handed the order back to Lucky.

Lucky took the list to the kitchen and came back soon with the cake and coffee ordered by Xiaolan and the others.

Since there was nothing else to do at the moment, Lucky simply stood next to Xiaolan and chatted with them.

"Actually, the manager of this store offered quite good wages. I started working here a week ago, and he gave me this month's salary straight away."

Sonoko suddenly felt playful and wanted to tease Lucky. She handed Lucky a cup of coffee that she hadn't drunk yet and said, "Hehe, Xing, you must be tired after working for so long. Why don't you give me this cup of coffee."

"Eh? Is this okay?"

"It's okay, just consider it my treat."

"Well, thank you very much, Suzuki-san."

Because he was still holding the menu in his right hand, the lucky guy drank the coffee by holding the handle of the cup with his left hand.

At this moment, a man at a table in the restaurant suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, and the woman sitting opposite him screamed.

Conan immediately went forward to check and found that the man was dead.

Inspector Megure arrived late. The deceased was named Ichiro Honda. He came to this cafe for a date. His date was Yamagami Kazuko, who was sitting opposite him. The cause of death was cyanide poisoning. Strangely, no cyanide reaction was detected in the deceased's cup.

Because the employees in the store were highly suspicious, Inspector Megure sent people to search the personal belongings of all the employees and the store manager. As a result, a compartment containing cyanide capsules was found in Lucky's employee uniform.

"Eh? But I don't know the deceased at all. I have no motive to poison him."

Shan Shang He Zi was in tears because her boyfriend had died. She pointed at Lucky and said angrily, "Officer, it was him. He was the one who was responsible for the food on our table. No one else could have poisoned the food."

Lucky was speechless and felt like he was being made a scapegoat.

Xiaolan and Sonoko stepped forward to vouch for Lucky.

"Hey, Inspector Megure, Kou has only been working in this cafe for a week. How could he possibly kill someone here?"

"Yes, and Xing-san is such a shy person. He doesn't seem like the type to hurt others at all."

The store manager came over with a gloomy face and said, "I thought you were so important to me, but I never thought I'd bring a murderer into my store! Officer, take him away quickly. Isn't the evidence conclusive?"

"Ah, aren't you Jiro Yamamoto?" Yamagami Hezi pointed at the store manager and said.

Yamamoto Jiro smiled at Yamagami Hezi and said, "I'm sorry, Hezi, I gave you such a bad experience in my store."

Conan noticed something was wrong. Since no cyanide residue was found in the deceased's coffee cup, it was impossible that the poison was administered through a capsule. If the poison was administered in the cup, how could the deceased have gotten the poisoned cup so accurately?

So he tiptoed to the deceased's table and observed that the coffee cup and cutlery were placed on the left hand side. The deceased Yamamoto Ichiro was left-handed, while Yamagami Hezi, who was sitting opposite him, was right-handed.

Conan lay down in front of the cash register and observed again. Sure enough, Yamamoto Jiro was also left-handed, and his notebook and phone were placed on his left hand.

Conan figured it out, so he slipped into the kitchen and found a bunch of identical coffee cups. After pouring a cup of coffee, Conan brought the coffee to the still arguing Yamamoto Jiro and Lucky.

"Hey, uncle manager, I just made a cup of coffee. Maybe drinking it will help you feel better." Conan deliberately handed the coffee to Jiro Yamamoto's left hand.

Jiro Yamamoto, who looked a little nervous, wanted to push Conan away, but considering that so many people were watching, he picked up the cup of coffee with his right hand and drank it all.

"Eh? Uncle is left-handed, so why are you drinking coffee with your right hand this time?"

"Ahem, there's nothing wrong with using your right hand occasionally."

Conan's glasses reflected the light: "Really? But I was afraid the cup was not clean, so I wiped it along the edge with a napkin."

"What?!" Jiro Yamamoto was shocked. He rushed to the sink and rinsed his mouth vigorously, trying to make himself vomit.

"I lied to you. I actually washed the cup." Conan walked over to the panicked Yamamoto Jiro. "The murderer must be you, Yamamoto Ichiro's biological brother, Mr. Yamamoto Jiro."

"What on earth is going on?" Inspector Megure was a little confused.

"Actually, the murderer smeared poison on all the cups." Conan explained to Inspector Megure.

"Huh? Then how did he manage to poison only the deceased?"

"Because he only applied the poison to the part of the cup that your mouth touches when you hold the handle with your left hand."

"He and the deceased are brothers, and both are left-handed, so he came up with this method. As for the uniform on Xing, he prepared it long ago, just to use him as a scapegoat."

"Ah, I thought I was so lucky to meet a good boss." The lucky guy was a little depressed.

"Of course, these are what Shinichi brother told me." Conan certainly did not forget to make excuses for himself.

Jiro Yamamoto confessed to his crime. He was jealous of his brother because he took away his girlfriend, with whom he was having a good relationship, so he planned to kill him.

"Hey, wait, I remember that Xing seemed to have drunk coffee with his left hand just now." Sonoko woke the dreamer up with a word.

The people present immediately took the lucky guy to the hospital for a checkup, and the results were normal. After all, if he had really been poisoned, he might have died on the spot.

"So the murderer must have forgotten to poison the cup. Hahahaha, I'm so lucky." The lucky guy smiled brightly, then became depressed again. "Oh, I have to find a new job."

Conan's eyes widened: "Hey, you almost died, and you're still so optimistic." But I have to say, this guy is really lucky.
