Conan's First Love is a Profiler

Chapter 121 The Real Cori
"It doesn't matter, I have a solution."

Maori Kogoro showed a confident look, "No, the husband candidate is not here, where are the suspects now?"

Kurara Yoi answered his question: "Rest in another house."

Kogoro Mouri shook his suit and made a pose that he thought looked very handsome.

"I'm going to catch the murderer. Please wait here, Miss Mimasaka."

I thought happily in my heart: When I find the murderer, maybe Miss Meizuka will respect me, admire me, fall in love with me, and become unable to stop wanting me.

Led by Kurara Yoi, several people came to the door of the lounge.

Before entering, Maori Kogoro turned to look at them and said solemnly: "After we go in, you must not interrupt. Just watch how I cleverly use the secret to find the murderer."

"Why? I always feel that it's not very reliable," Megure Jusan whispered aside.

Gao Mu smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I feel the same way."

At the entrance, there is a turtle-shaped ornament with three small iron pillars in the middle.

Art is like this, it’s hard to understand.

After showing his ID, Megure Juzo asked the three of them to gather together and wait for Kogoro Mouri's next performance.

"cori! cori!"

"Mr. Cori, there's something on your face?"

Conan laughed awkwardly in his heart, he knew it would be so unreliable.

How could the murderer be so simple as to fall into the trap?
The man on the sofa was playing with his mobile phone with his left hand, and seemed indifferent to everything around him.

"This is Hatano Fukunaga, the founder of Vipshop."

Then, Takagi pointed at a slightly plump man wearing black glasses.

"This is Arashiyama Yeling, from the Arashiyama family who founded MAKA Publishing House."

The last one was a man wearing a black suit and smoking.

"This is Wanbo Sui Tu, a member of the entrepreneurial family of Licheng Technology."

Kogoro Mori looked at Hatano Fukunaga as if he had discovered some new continent.

"Mr. Hatano, are you left-handed?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Maori Kogoro said seriously: "There seems to be a country that calls left-handed people 'cori'."

Then start observing the other person's reaction.

But unfortunately, no clues were found, and the other party did not show any panic or nervousness.

"Mr. Jin Guang, it seems someone has poisoned him."

Just after Megure Jusan finished speaking, the expressions of the three people changed subtly.

Kogoro Mori looked at everyone.

"It seems that everyone has understood."

"Are you trying to say that it was us who did it?"

"I didn't say that. It's just the current situation."

Wan Bo Sui Tu stood up suddenly and said, "It wasn't me, it was one of them."

Huang Shanyeling also stood up, "Please find the murderer as soon as possible. This way, we will have one less opponent."

As he spoke, he reached out and adjusted his glasses.

"Mr. Liang Jiu, what should we do about the son-in-law selection ceremony?"

Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on him.

He was already used to this kind of gaze, so he calmly replied, "The master will make the decision, and will let everyone know the result tonight."

The mystery of the word cori has not been solved yet.

When Conan asked Qinghai Chuantang, he got the answer: cori can be translated as Corey. And there is a character "Ke" in your name, so the murderer is you.

Knowing that the other party was joking, Conan naturally didn't take it seriously.

Led by Kurara Yoi, the group came to the place where the toast cups were kept and were safely locked in a small wooden cabinet.

"Does anyone know if we can use a ceramic cup if we catch Tokoyami?"

"what?"

"Because the murderer is likely targeting Mr. Jin Guang."

"So the servants all know about it."

"I see." Megure Jusan nodded and then asked, "Do the groom candidates know?"

"this."

Kurara Yoi hesitated for a moment.

Just then, a man in a black tuxedo walked into the room.

This was the "Keikichi" that Fujiwara no Asana had called before.

Kurara Yoi introduced, "This is my son Keikichi. Our family has been servants of the Fujiwara family for generations. The master has ordered that Keikichi will take care of all the groom candidates this time."

Then he looked at his son.

"They want to ask if the groom candidates know about the cups to be used in the ceremony?"

"I informed them of everything related to the Night Banquet ceremony. I also told them that only the chosen ones can use the ceramic cups."

"So, does everyone know where the cup is?"

Keikichi nodded.

"Yes. Because I showed them the cup that was placed here."

The corners of Kogoro Maori's mouth rose slightly.

"Just as I expected, the murderer is among the groom candidates."

"I have something else to do, so I'll go down first."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

Megure Jusan nodded, indicating that the other party could leave.

When Keikichi turned and left, Conan noticed that his legs were a little unsteady, as if he was injured.

At 7pm for the dinner, everyone gathered in the hall again.

"The son-in-law selection ceremony will proceed as usual."

"Grandpa." Misaku Chicai stood up.

"What's wrong, Chicai?"

She walked to the side of Fujiwara Asana and looked at the person sitting in the main seat.

"Now that something like this has happened, we should end the ceremony. And Asana is so pitiful."

"As someone who shoulders the responsibility of the Fujiwara family, how can you be shaken by such a trivial matter?"

"But Asana is only a girl in her twenties."

She placed her hands on Fujiwara Asana's shoulders.

Fujiwara Toshio looked at her with her head lowered and asked, "Asana, have you decided who to choose as your husband?"

"have not decided yet."

Fujiwara Asana forced a smile: "Everyone is very nice."

Fujiwara Toshio chuckled.

"That is to say, no one was chosen."

"not like this"

Just as she was about to say something else, the other party interrupted her.

"I know. Tomorrow."

Fujiwara Toshio backed down: "Let Asana make the decision tomorrow."

Fujiwara Asana looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"why is it like this?"

Misaku Chisai spoke for her, "Even if it was your decision, this is too chaotic."

"that."

At this time, Xiaolan stood up and took a few steps forward.

"The murderer who poisoned them may be among these people. If we do this, things may develop to the worst."

Fujiwara Toshio's expression was very serious.

"They are going to be the head of the Fujiwara family. They should know that they will encounter danger to a certain extent."

After saying that, Fujiwara Toshio left the hall, citing his poor health as the excuse.

Before leaving, he left a message to Fujiwara Asana.

"Asana, I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

The protagonists had already left, so the supporting characters also returned to their respective rooms after enjoying dinner.

But some people chose to stay in the lounge.

"But why did Mr. Fujiwara choose them as candidates for the groom?"

Xiaolan looked a little confused.

Comparing these people with Fujiwara no Asana is the most vivid example of "a toad wanting to eat swan flesh".

"Grandpa was once in trouble. At that time, their clan helped him."

"That is to say, those who want to repay a favor cannot refuse the opportunity." Qinghai Chuantang said incisively.

Misaku Chisai looked at the ground, as if talking to herself.

He whispered, "Those people should just die."

"excuse me."

Qiji walked in with an exquisite fruit plate.

Misaku Chisai raised her head and looked at him: "Where's Asana?"

"In another building, chatting with those three."

"Is she okay on her own?"

After putting the fruit plate away, Qiji replied, "I originally wanted the young lady to return to the main house. But just now, the young lady has already returned to the main house."

"cori!"

Behind the screen, Kogoro Maori wrote all the cori-related translations he could think of on a small white board.

"Maori brother."

When Megure Juzo walked over, Kogoro Mori's eyes suddenly lit up, as if his savior had been reborn.

"The analysis of the ingredients in the poison has come out. It is coriaria lactone and hydroxycoriaria toxin, both of which are poisons that take effect immediately."

"Mr. Jin Guang used to be in the Department of Pharmacy, right?"

Qinghai Chuantang came over.

Misaku Chisai nodded, "Yes."

"Then the mystery is solved. Cori is actually Coriaria, which translates to 'Ma Sang' and is also known as 'Poisonous Skywood'."

"Yes."

Gao Mu nodded and took out a few photos from the file bag.

"I checked the garbage collected from the groom candidates' rooms. This thing is Ma Sang. It was found in the room of Mr. Jin Guang who was poisoned."

"So, the person who made the poison was Kaneko himself?" Kogoro Mori stroked his chin and thought.

"Ma Sang is extremely poisonous. If you are not careful, you will die."

After reading the information he found online, Conan came to his own conclusion: "Maybe someone stole it and used it. Who knows."

Kogoro Mouri clenched his fists and unceremoniously gave Conan a slap on the face.

"You little brat! Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking!"

Conan just felt that his head seemed to have grown bigger and tears welled up in his eyes.

Xiaolan rubbed his head lovingly and comforted him softly.

"Oh no!"

Fujiwara Asana rushed in.

"What's wrong, Asana?"

She said quickly, "Mr. Wanbo called just now and said that Mr. Huangshan was killed."

I am Wanbo, Huangshan was killed. When I passed by Huangshan's room, I took a look inside and found that the guy was beaten on the left side of his head and was killed. Go and call for help.

She roughly recounted what she remembered.

When she wanted to ask more questions, the other party hung up the phone in a hurry.

"I'll go check it out."

Having said that, Keikichi turned around and prepared to leave.

"No! No one answered when I called back."

"Should you tell the master?"

"Let's go to Mr. Wanba's room first. After confirming it, go wake up grandpa. Maybe it's just a bad joke."

At this time, Chicai Mimasaka seemed very calm and composed when handling things.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Keikichi and said, "Asana is in your hands."

Then, he turned to Fujiwara Asana and said, "Asana, you stay in the room."

"Let's go, miss."

Led by Mimasaka Chisai, everyone arrived at the gate of the annex where the groom candidates were staying.

She pushed the door open and tried to go in, but found that it was chained from the inside.

"Ms. Mimasaka, please step back first."

I saw Kogoro Maori sinking his energy into his dantian and concentrating all his power on his legs.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he regarded the door in front of him as his enemy.

He kicked the door open with great force, causing the chain to break and fall to the ground.

After the group went in, Qinghai Chuantang looked at the turtle beside the entrance and was stunned for a moment.

The iron rod on the right disappeared.
