Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

"Hey Mori, you jinx! You've brought this kind of tragedy to your daughter's school!"

After all, a murder occurred at such a special occasion as the Teitan High School school fair. Although the Metropolitan Police Department was still very busy, Inspector Megure quickly led his team to the scene.

Of course, upon arriving at the scene, he immediately mocked Kogoro Mouri, the scapegoat.

Kazuma Kudo glanced at Shinichi Kudo, who was still wearing a veil, a wig, a crown, and a princess dress, and thought to himself, how can you blame Uncle Mori for this?

This was clearly a death trap set by his older brother to prevent his father-in-law from beating him to death on the spot!

Rather than watching a dead man who had successfully saved Shinichi Kudo's life, Kazuma Kudo was more interested in seeing how Kogoro Mouri would treat his older brother afterward.

So, the usually lazy guy nudged Hattori Heiji lightly with his elbow and decided to take the initiative.

Although Hattori Heiji valued the murder case, it was clearly not as important to him as Kudo Kazuma, so he went along with Kudo Kazuma's wishes and stepped forward to speak directly.

"When a person dies, their skin usually loses its color, but this guy's lips and nails are pink, which is clearly a sign of potassium cyanide poisoning. If you can detect an almond flavor in his mouth, then it's definitely potassium cyanide poisoning."

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Inspector Megure scrutinized Hattori Heiji. "Aren't you from Kansai?"

"Of course we came to see Kudo..."

Before Hattori Heiji could finish speaking, Kudo Kazuma slapped him on the back, making him immediately realize his mistake and change his tune: "Of course, I'm here to see Kudo's childhood friend, Ran-san, perform in her stage play!"

To prevent Inspector Megure from mistaking him for Shinichi Kudo, Kazuma Kudo took the initiative to go up and greet him.

"Ah, Edogawa-kun~ So, how's it going? Any leads on the murderer or the method of poisoning?"

Kudo Kazuma glanced at the bewildered and panicked soul of the deceased standing to the side and shrugged.

It seems that the deceased himself cannot offer him any help.

Moreover, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo were also secretly present today, so it seemed inconvenient for him to openly ask them using the [Onmoku] method.

However... after watching too much Detective Conan, there are only a few common plots, so it won't stump him!

"Potassium cyanate takes effect very quickly. The deceased died while drinking this beverage and did not eat anything else during that time. The poison must have been put in the drink."

"As for the person who poisoned it, it must be either the person who makes the beverage or the person who buys it. Only these two people have the opportunity to poison it."

Upon hearing this, the short-haired girl standing nearby said, "I bought the drinks."

She pointed to a beverage stall not far away, run by a senior high school student: "I bought it from that beverage stall."

"After I bought four drinks, I came to find everyone. I was in a hurry to go to the restroom, so I handed the drinks to Mr. Mitani."

Kudo Kazuma raised an eyebrow. So, the choice is between making drinks, buying drinks, or distributing drinks?

When Inspector Megure questioned the victim, he discovered that the drink hadn't been handed directly to the deceased by the man named Mitani. Instead, Mitani passed it to Noda, the girl in red next to him, who then gave it to the deceased.

In an instant, the choice between three options became a choice between four.

Moreover, all four of them had some motive for murder.

Hattori Heiji remarked with some emotion, "So, we've got all the suspects now..."

"What kind of talk is that?" Hong Shang, the short-haired girl in charge of buying drinks, immediately became displeased. "Dr. Urata and I both ordered the same iced coffee. If I had poisoned his coffee, I could have simply handed it to him myself to avoid accidentally drinking the poisoned beverage!"

Kudo Kazuma's eyes lit up upon hearing this!

The first one to jump out and prove his innocence, and even deliberately drank the same beverage as the deceased, right?

You are the murderer!

Inspector Megure thought of a possibility: "You could just poison both cups of coffee and then not drink your own."

Hong Shang looked completely innocent and emphasized, "But I finished my whole cup!"

"Iced coffee..." Kudo Kazuma asked, resting his chin on his hand. "Iced coffee contains ice cubes. If you put poison in the ice cubes and drink it before the ice melts, you won't be poisoned~"

"Our deceased was rather unlucky. Unaware of the danger, he must have been watching the stage performance while drinking. As he drank, the ice melted, and the poison ended up in his mouth."

Hong Shang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "You must be Edogawa Kazuma, the heart detective and disciple of Kogoro Mouri, right? President Edogawa, it seems you're not so suited to be a detective."

“You said there was poison in my ice, and that I drank the beverage before the ice melted, so at least the cup should have been found to contain toxins, right? Go ahead and check my cup; there won’t be any toxins in it.”

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "I didn't say the ice was still in the cup, did I? You can hide it anywhere on your person, right? Since you're so confident, why not just search you? Or even simpler, just have someone with a keen sense of smell sniff you to see if you smell like almonds. It's easy, isn't it?"

Hong Shang's expression changed several times, but he finally sighed and said, "Never mind, no need to search... that thing is still in the hood of my clothes..."

Mitani, who was traveling with him, asked incredulously, "So, it really was you who poisoned it?"

"That's right, I poisoned him to death..."

Hong Shang then explained why he killed people.

Unlike the others, Kudo Kazuma didn't care about any of this. He'd already got the spirit and found the culprit, so now it was time to go find his brother… oh no, his sister!

Before even reaching Shinichi Kudo, Kazuma Kudo noticed that his older brother was incredibly eager to see the crime scene. If it weren't for Ran, who was holding his hand, reminding him to keep a low profile, he probably would have already gone to solve the case.

He leaned closer and whispered, "Speaking of which... you've been holding onto Xiaolan like this, probably to control your urge to run towards the dead person, right? It can't just be for holding hands, can it?"

Although the sound was soft, Xiaolan still heard it.

Shinichi Kudo and Ran both looked down at their clasped hands at the same time, and immediately blushed. One turned to look at Sonoko, and the other looked up at the sky. Neither of them looked at the other, but their hands showed no sign of letting go.

Shinichi Kudo cleared his throat before speaking, "Actually, you just got one detail wrong. In fact..."

"Let's not worry about the details for now, okay? When have I ever cared about details when solving a case?" Kudo Kazuma said with a hint of schadenfreude. "But you, hurry up and let go of Ran, and think about how to save your own life."

Shinichi Kudo paused for a moment, then followed Kazuma Kudo's gaze and saw that Inspector Megure had already left with the culprit and other personnel involved in the case.

Meanwhile, Kogoro Mouri was striding menacingly toward them...

Kudo Shinichi: "!!!"

Done!
