Model worker and his little darling

He cannot confirm whether Ito Hirakiyo's FBI identity is real or not, but he is very likely a member of the organization.

Itō Tairakiyo and Mika appeared in Japan around the same time. If they are not the same person, is it possible that they knew each other from the beginning?

After the incident, he saw the group leave the restaurant quickly.

Ran Mouri just said that she and Heikiyo Ito came from Beika Town together. If it was Mishika, they would have gone back and rushed over, so the timing wouldn't match.

But deep down I still have a feeling that Ito Hirakiyo and Mishika might be the same person.

"Officer, there's a needle in this bouquet."

Following behind Inspector Megure, Pingqing looked around and noticed a large bruise on the victim's throat, with a needle mark inside the bruise.

The case is solved! It was Conan who did it!

The old man is really tough; he was pricked with so many needles by Conan and he was fine. No wonder he was chosen by the Grim Reaper.

"It looks like he was poisoned."

"Forensic investigator, take him for testing."

After learning that all four employees had touched the roses, Inspector Megure began questioning them.

The first person questioned was Junnosuke Toda, who had given out the roses. He had joined the company five years ago as the head of public relations and had always been diligent and hardworking. Although the company had dissolved, the president had privately invited him to work on the next project together.

"Officer, I really didn't kill the president."

"Then why were there poisoned needles in the flowers you sent?"

“This bouquet was prepared by everyone together. I was only responsible for the final delivery of the flowers. I didn’t touch it before that. Officer, I think Hiroo Kamijou is a prime suspect.”

"He was a well-known web designer before joining the company, so he was arrogant at work, spent money recklessly, and often took advances of his salary. If the company were to dissolve, Hiroo Kamijou would definitely hate the president."

After Junnosuke Toda said that, Inspector Megure's suspicions about Hiroo Kamijou, the second person to enter, increased dramatically.

“I used to be a freelancer, but the president offered me a high salary, so I came to work for Creno. But the president didn’t even discuss such a big thing as the company’s dissolution beforehand. Don’t you think he’s too autocratic?”

"Mr. Kamijou, what are your plans after the company is dissolved?"

“I used to be a freelancer, so even if the company dissolves, it won’t affect me much. Officer, I think you can check our personal belongings.”

Takagi rummaged through the bag and found a photo in accountant Narita Mayu's bag. The photo clearly showed that she had a close relationship with the company president.

In response, the third person to enter, Narita Mayu, explained calmly, "I joined the company as an accountant eight years ago and dated President Wu Ye. Later, he fell in love with someone else, but this did not affect our working relationship."

Ping Qing raised an eyebrow. He had been dumped by the deceased. He narrowed his eyes again. There were three men and one woman. Nine times out of ten, the murderer was this woman.

“I think Yue Yuanrong is highly suspicious because he and the president often have arguments at the company.”

The last person to enter, the merchandise manager, Yue Yuanrong, was wiping his sweat. "Wu Ye and I were friends in college. Although we often argued, our relationship is still very good. I think the most suspicious person is Toda Junnosuke."

After listening to the four men's dog-eat-dog testimonies, Inspector Megure coughed twice, realizing that the four had formed a closed loop.

Just then, a young police officer walked in with a waiter.

Ping Qing's eyes flashed; it was Touko-kun.

"In the corridor, I saw Mr. Yueyuan squatting in front of the roses and placing something there."

"Mr. Yue Yuan was in charge of product management, so it is highly likely that he mixed poison into the products and then used the opportunity of import to transport them into the country."

Upon hearing Takagi's reasoning, Hirakiyo turned his head away.

After all, potassium cyanide is a basic medicine in Mihua, so why go to such great lengths?

Inside the hall, the three suspects were still blaming each other.

Where is Mr. Yueyuan?

The three then realized that Yue Yuanrong had gone to the restroom and hadn't returned.

"Could it be that he felt guilty and ran away?"

"Uncle, there are police officers at the door. He should still be in this store."

So, Takagi and his men began searching for the person in the restaurant.

Finally, a waiter noticed something unusual in the warehouse, because the warehouse door was unusually heavy today.

After Inspector Megure opened the door, he saw that Eriyoshi Koshimoto had hanged himself on the handrail behind the door, with a suicide note left beside his body. Immediately afterwards, forensic investigators found a small brown bottle containing poison in Koshimoto's pocket.

Looking at the bizarrely deceased Yue Yuanrong, Ping Qing sighed. Even though Conan wasn't there, another one died.

"What were the three of you doing at the time of the incident?"

“I’m on the phone, and that guy can be my witness.” Toda Junnosuke said, pointing to Amuro Tooru.

Amuro Tooru nodded. "Yes, I did see this gentleman making a phone call in the hallway."

Hiroo Kamijou winked at a waitress, "I was talking to this lady at the time, and the waitress saw it too."

The waiter and Amuro Tooru confirmed what Hiroo Kamijou had said.

Hirai glanced at Amuro Tooru, wondering if Tooru had been pacing around all night just to create an alibi for someone.

Finally, only Narita Mayu had no alibi.

"Officer, the handwriting analysis results for the suicide note are in; it is indeed Mr. Yue Yuan's handwriting."

Looking at the autopsy results, Inspector Megure wanted to say it was suicide. But the drag marks on the ground and the two different ligature marks on the deceased's neck made it impossible for him to say that.

Just then, Pingqing stepped forward, saying it was too boring to stay there any longer.

I guessed wrong about the murderer the first time, but this time it really is this woman.

“Officer, the murderer is Ms. Narita. I think you strangled the victim with the strap of your purse when she wasn’t looking, dragged the body to the door, and hung it on the doorknob with a napkin to make it look like a suicide.”

Upon hearing this, Inspector Megure looked at Heikichi with anticipation, thinking that Heikichi was the most reliable guy.

"Heh, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

"The evidence is your bag's shoulder strap; the police can find out by testing it."

Narita Mayu burst into tears and began to sob as she explained the reason.

“I noticed something unusual on the shopping list from Yue Yuanrong Road, so when President Wu Ye was poisoned, I suspected that he had killed the president, so I invited him here.”

"After hearing that he killed the president, I advised him to turn himself in, but he actually said that even if he didn't kill the president, someone else would. The president was such a good person. He said he would invite everyone back to work together in the future. He is the person I admire most in my life."
