Chapter Ninety

After a while, Ijuin came over with refilled wine glasses. One by one, he placed them on the long table in front of us. He also carefully poured a glass of orange juice for Conan, who was pulled over by me.

After everything was ready, the speech started again. In fact, it is normal for the student president to give a speech at the graduation ceremony, but it feels a bit weird to have someone from another school standing in it. Atobe, as the student president, stands in the middle, on the left

It's Asakura, on the right is Ninzu, on the other side of Ninzu is Xianghi, and on the side of Asakura is me plus Conan who was brought here by me... I don't know what other people want to see, but I always feel like this

The combination is really not an ordinary incongruity.

After wandering in his mind for a while, he heard Atobe say "Cheers!" and then took the lead in picking up the wine glass in front of him.

I also followed everyone to get the wine glass in front of me. But just when my hand touched the wine glass, Ma Cang next to me stretched out a hand and opened my hand without politeness. I looked up,

I met Asakura's disdainful eyes. Then, as if to demonstrate, she picked up the cup in front of me.

I frowned tightly and looked straight at Asakura. She smiled contemptuously, ignored my look and took the wine glass away from me. Conan tugged on my clothes worriedly, and I looked down at him.

After taking a quick look, he slowly picked up the wine glass in front of Ma Cang.

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and shouted.

"Please wait!"

Just as everyone was holding the wine glasses in their hands, Ijuin rushed out from the side again.

"What's the matter with you?" Atobe glared at him with a dark face. Really hard, because Ijuin trembled obviously.

Asakura just paused for two seconds, glanced sideways at Ijuin with her unique eyes, and then drank the wine in her hands.

"What a terrible ceremony!" Ma Cang put down his wine glass and turned around to leave.

Atobe's face turned darker...

"No, it's nothing..." Ijuin stared blankly at Asakura as he drank the wine in the glass. After she turned around and left, his eyes still followed her.

I sighed secretly in my heart: It seems that there are still many people who suffer from intermittent convulsions! How dare you do such things while Atobu is delivering a speech? Isn’t this just lighting a lamp in a latrine and looking for death?

He shook the wine glass in his hand and took a habitual sip. At this moment, Atobe raised his glass again and said "Cheers!"

I choked on my drink again...

It’s rare that the monitor of the dance is not here this time, but why do I choke every time I drink? Could it be that the monitor is cursing me behind my back? Thinking of this, I can’t help but feel a chill in my heart! It should be... no way!

After the toast, Atobe led everyone out. Then the current student council president spoke again. Conan and I stepped aside. Seeing that no one was paying attention to us, we knelt down and whispered to him.

"Conan, do you think Ijuin is a little weird?" I glanced at Ijuin, who had been standing there, obviously very uneasy, and said.

"Yeah!" Conan nodded. "It was indeed strange that he suddenly rushed out at that time. Moreover, he suddenly interrupted when everyone was toasting, which also seemed very deliberate. It was as if he was worried that you would drink the wine...

"

"I think so too." I said while thinking, "Did he add something to the wine?"

"It's possible."

I thought about it and still felt uneasy. The behavior of Ijuin just now was really suspicious.

"Conan, I still feel uneasy. Do you want to go investigate?"

Conan glanced at me: "I think so too. In short, we first have to find a way to find the wine glass that we just removed. If he really added something to the wine, that will be the evidence."

"Yeah!" I nodded in agreement, and then Conan and I followed the waiters around to the back.

Although Atobe looked like he was listening attentively to the current student council president's speech, in fact, he did not distract his attention at all. The unattractive woman had been hiding and talking secretly with the elementary school student since she came out.

And she was still squatting there regardless of her status in such an occasion. Didn't anyone teach her to pay attention to etiquette in such public places? If those meddlesome people use this as a topic, they will definitely be criticized again.

"She is indeed an abandoned girl with no education at all" and so on. Doesn't she care about this at all? Thinking of this, Atobe couldn't help but feel a little angry. Moreover, at this time, the not-gorgeous woman actually slipped away with the child.

, in front of so many people, he hunched over like a thief, walked around from the front to the side and passed through the crowd. Atobe, who was just a little angry at first, suddenly started to burn with anger.

"That woman is not gorgeous!"

"Huh?" Renzu next to him turned his head and looked over when he heard this gnashing voice. Seeing that there was obvious anger in Atobu's eyes, he followed his gaze again. When he saw that the place where Murong was standing was empty,

I already guessed eight or nine points.

Every move of that woman can affect Atobe's emotions. It seems that this time, Atobe has really fallen into trouble. However, he seems to have not discovered this yet! Thinking of this, Renzu couldn't help laughing.

He got up, but then he started to worry again. With their identities, maybe Atobe discovering his feelings would not be a good thing!

Conan and I followed all the way to where the waiters were disposing of the used tableware, saying that they were not paying attention and took all the wine glasses we had just drank from.

Conan looked at the empty wine glasses carefully one by one, and tasted each one with a little bit of the wine remaining in it, but still found nothing.

"It seems that only through professional appraisal can we know whether anything has been added inside." Conan said with some frustration.

"Show me!"

I took those wine glasses and put them one by one under my nose and smelled them. I didn't have high hopes, but I didn't expect that the smell in one of the glasses actually smelled different.

Conan saw a strange look on my face and guessed what I might have discovered.

"Is something wrong?"

"There's something wrong. There's something wrong with the taste of the wine in this glass."

After Conan listened to my words, he immediately took the wine glass in my hand and compared it with other wine glasses one by one.

"Is there really something wrong with the smell? Why can't I smell anything?" Conan said doubtfully while sniffing hard.

"I'm different from you. I've been drinking since I was three years old. The taste of any wine can't be hidden from my nose." As I said that, I took the wine glass back from Conan's hand and passed it with my index finger.

I put the inner wall of the wine glass into my mouth and tasted it.

It’s the mellowness of 23-year-old Bordeaux wine, and that incompatible taste...

"It's Black Jade Incense!"

"What?"

"This glass of wine has been spiked with black jade fragrance!"

"Black jade incense? What is that?"

I was about to answer when I suddenly heard panicked footsteps coming towards me. I quickly pulled Conan into the shadows and made a silencing gesture to him: "Someone is coming, don't make any sound!"

Conan immediately understood. He nodded calmly and looked out carefully.

"It's Ijuin!"

When I heard this, I carefully poked my head out and looked outside. I saw Ijuin hurriedly walked to the place where the wine glasses were placed and rummaged around. After he was sure that all the wine glasses placed there had been cleaned, he

He leaned against the cabinet and let out a long breath. He carefully looked around to make sure no one noticed him, then straightened his clothes and walked out.

Conan and I looked at each other. It seemed that Ijuin's suspicion was not as high as usual. It's just that everyone drank the same wine just now. It's not clear who drank this drugged wine.

"The most important thing now is to find out who drank that glass of wine!" Conan said solemnly.

"Now the only person who can be sure that he didn't drink this spiked wine is me!" I held my chin with my hand and analyzed it carefully.

Conan thought about it and said, "What's my motive for Ijuin? Why did he add black jade incense to the wine?"

"I don't know this either. To figure this out, we have to first confirm who the victim is."

Conan nodded, and then asked: "What exactly is the black jade incense you mentioned, and what will happen to people after eating it?"

As I stood up and walked back, I explained to him: "Black jade incense is actually opium. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is sometimes used to relieve pain, cough, and diarrhea, and is also used as an anesthetic. But because it is easy to get addicted to

It is hidden, so there are strict regulations on its dosage.”

"It turned out to be opium!" Conan frowned. "What is the purpose of that Ijuin?"

We walked for a while each thinking about it. Conan suddenly asked: "Murong, do you know how long it usually takes for people to start to have reactions after taking opium?"

I thought for a while and said: "If it is swallowed directly, according to medical books, it will take at most one cup of tea to cause an attack!"

"A cup of tea? How long is that?"

"Almost ten to fifteen minutes!"
