Just when Conan was shocked by the strange entrance conditions of Gu Meimen's family, Kaitou Kidd finally used his own method to figure out the cause of death of the deceased.
"There are no external injuries, which obviously excludes causes of death such as sharp blades, blunt objects, and gunshots. There are no strangulation marks on the neck, and it is obvious that he was not drowned, so he was probably poisoned..."
I heard that there are quite a lot of cases of poisoning to kill people recently, and it seems that almost all of them are cyanide?"
Muttering, Kaitou Kidd also had good eyesight, and soon discovered an abnormality on the deceased's ear, a small obvious trace of poisoning.
"It looks like acupuncture..."
Not far away from him, Shizuo Komemon also finished making the shaky phone call.
Because they stayed up late and worked overtime yesterday, Sato, Shiratori, and Takagi all got off work on time and went back to rest on time. Tonight, Chiba and others are on duty.
"Detective, how's the case investigation going?" Shizuo Komemon walked over and put his hands in his pants pockets, asking playfully.
"Well... the progress is not bad." Kaitou Kidd said with a guilty conscience.
"Oh?" Shizuo Komemon smiled jokingly, "What was the cause of death?"
"Poisoned." Kaitou Kidd immediately replied.
"The wound was on the ear. It was suspected to be a poisonous needle puncture. He died immediately after being poisoned. Therefore, the deceased showed almost no signs of struggling for help. The poison must be cyanide."
Shizuo Komemon nodded. It seemed that this thief had some experience as a detective. "Time of death?"
"..."
Kaitou Kid froze and grinned an ugly smile. He had no idea how the detective could deduce the time of death from the corpse!
As if matching his expression, the tram also stopped at this time. Apparently Conan had found the conductor and explained the situation.
Mao Lilan's suspicious gaze behind him became even more intense, and Kaitou Kid felt like he was already standing on the edge of a cliff.
At this critical moment, the savior has come!
Although the Nakamori Police Department is not here, there is still Detective Mori!
"Ahem, Gumeimen Police Department, I have collected the confessions of three witnesses and confirmed the identity of the deceased and today's itinerary."
"Thank you for your hard work, Detective Mouri. Let me tell you the results." Shizuo Komemon looked away from Kaitou Kid and looked at Kogoro Mouri.
He has always been polite to Maori detectives. After all, he is a very useful tool and is an indispensable key to the Maori elimination method.
"The deceased, Kiyomi Hashimoto, was friends and colleagues with the three witnesses over there. They were working overtime today because of their previous mistakes at work.
At about 6:30 in the evening, they finished work and were going to have dinner together, but the deceased planned to leave first.
So the three of them separated from the deceased at Erfanjie Station and watched the deceased get on the tram alone.
After that, the three of them went to eat together until they returned to Erfanjie Station to take the tram at 7:30, and found the body in the carriage."
Shizuo Komemon nodded and looked at the three friends of the deceased. This number was just right. There was no doubt that it was one of the three daily choices.
"Um...I'm a little uncomfortable. Can you go to the next car to have a rest?" Yukiko Mori, a friend of the deceased, said with a bad expression.
"No." Shizuo Komemon immediately refused.
"I'm afraid not." Kaitou Kidd also said with a smile.
Shizuo Komemon glanced at him, "It seems that Kudo-kun has discovered something?"
"That's right." Kaito Kidoku said, thanks to Detective Mori buying him time, "I already know who the murderer is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Conan came back. Listening to these words, he suddenly felt familiar. Could it be another unreasonable method of solving the case?
I saw Kaitou Kid with a confident smile on his face, walking up to Yukiko Mori, leaning forward slightly, and said very politely:
"Miss Yukiko, could you please let me see what you have in your hand?"
Yukiko Mori immediately nervously clenched the juice and leather bag wrapped in a handkerchief, her face turned pale, "What...what does this mean?"
Kaitou Kidd smiled and suddenly grabbed her hand, "A little bit of poison can kill someone instantly, but you must be careful and don't move around. Otherwise, if you accidentally prick yourself, it will be too late to regret it."
.”
Yukiko Mori froze when she heard this. Kaitou Kid carefully took the juice and handkerchief from her hand without encountering any further obstacles.
Kaitou Kid spread his handkerchief on the floor of the carriage, and sure enough he found a tiny needle inside!
"Yukiko, you..."
The other two friends of the deceased were immediately shocked. The murderer turned out to be their friend! It was this girl who always spoke softly and rarely even spoke loudly!
"Why did you find out..."
Yukiko Mori was also confused. She had no idea where her flaw was. How could such a small needle be seen through at once without being exposed?
Shizuo Komemon is also a little bit curious about how Kid Kid did it.
Although he can definitely solve the case by himself, with Detective Mori here, he can use the elimination method, which will be very fast, but Kaitou Kidd is indeed faster.
"Looks and movements." Kaitou Kid raised his finger and smiled, "You know that there are poisonous needles in the handkerchief, and you are afraid that it will prick you, so you have been holding it very carefully.
Although you tried to act as natural as possible, you still couldn't help but make sure it was there properly, and there was no risk of it falling or hurting yourself.
And at this time, your eyes and subtle movements will betray you!"
Kaitou Kidd said proudly, completely unaware that Mao Lilan's expression behind him became even more confused.
"Besides, you just said you weren't feeling well and wanted to take a rest in the next car, just to get away from the crowd so you could dispose of the poisonous needle, right?
If you throw such a small thing into the gap in the carriage, it will definitely be difficult to find, am I right?"
Yukiko Mori was speechless, fell to the ground, and began to cry and confess, "I clearly thought of her as a reliable senior and a good friend, but she stole my boyfriend..."
Mouri Kogoro glared at Kaitou Kidd in displeasure, "I let this kid get the upper hand again..."
"Dad, do you think Shinichi is a little strange?" Mao Lilan grabbed his arm and asked in a low voice.
Mouri Kogoro didn't understand, "What's weird? He's still so annoying. Let me tell you, Xiaolan, stay away from him. You must be careful to avoid being taken advantage of by him. Do you understand?"
Mao Lilan put a little more force on her hands in embarrassment, "I'm talking about business! Do you think Shinichi is a little different from before?"
"I did not think."
"No, it's definitely not right..."
Mao Lilan always felt a strange sense of disharmony, but for a while she couldn't figure out where this feeling came from.
Her eyes became solemn, staring firmly at the profile of Kaitou Kidd.
