Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 401: Urgent Intervention into the Case Solving Process

"Hey? Something seems to have happened up ahead!"

Kuroba Kaito opened his eyes wide after hearing a scream. He was about to stand up to see what was happening in front of him, but Gin pulled him back to his seat.

Gin looked at Lie with a strange expression on his face: "Lie, what's the reason you're here?"

"I said I needed to go to the bathroom~" Lie's face, which was originally excited about being able to blow something up himself, turned into a deep sadness, "I didn't expect something to happen just after I left for a while..."

"Be more confident. If you don't leave, something bad will happen anyway." Gin complained, and then he suddenly thought, "By the way, did you stay in the toilet for a long time?"

Lie was stunned when he heard this, and pinched his chin, "It seems so~ Then should I go back and help solve the case?"

Gin then suggested, "You can stay a little longer and make some time together."

"Hmm~ That's fine? If not, just say I'm lost!"

Lie gave a thumbs up.

Kuroba Kaito, who was confused, said: "???"

So what happened?
As if he saw Kaito's confusion, Gin sighed and kindly explained, "There's a dead person ahead, so just stay put and don't run around."

...Someone died?

...This is too sudden!

Kuroba Kaito's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Gin's words:

"Well, Uncle Ren, I didn't mean to run around. It was obviously Uncle Ren who wanted to..." running around.

However, Kaito held back the last four words because of Gin's dangerous look.

At this time, there were some chaotic noises coming from the carriage in front, but most of them were heard clearly by Gin and Rei. They were the murmurs of passers-by.

A powerful voice stood out among the noise:
"Everyone, please go back to your seats and do not move around! I, Kogoro Mori, will take care of this matter..."

"..."

Listening to Kogoro Mouri saying that he would catch the culprit in the incident, Gin looked a little speechless.

He didn't quite understand where Maori Kogoro got his confidence from. Although he admired this mentality... he just didn't understand it.

Lie put on a smiling expression again, and like Gin, he paid attention to the movements behind him and listened with great interest.

However, after a while, Lie pouted, "Oh~ Conan is talking about me, I guess I have to go back."

"Go."

Gin raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost time.

In fact, if Lie ran to look for him under the pretext of going to the toilet not long after getting on the bus, Conan would most likely find out that there was something wrong.

But anyway, they didn't intend to hide something, they were just afraid that Conan would affect their plans, so any action they took basically bypassed Conan.

If Conan wasn't considered to be too righteous, it wouldn't be a bad idea to reveal more things.

Lie took off his hat and walked to the aisle, leisurely walking towards the carriage where his seat was.

Gin watched his figure disappear in the corridor, then listened for a while and found that it was vague and confusing, so he decided not to pay attention to it and closed his eyes and took a nap.

I'd better not go around in front of Conan or something, but after thinking it over, I decided not to...

If he turns himself into a suspect, he won't be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

And it will get darker the more you wash it. On the contrary, Kaito didn't know what switch was activated:
"Uncle Blade, Uncle Blade! I want to go take a look ahead..."

"No, you don't want to."

"I think I can help solve the case!"

Gin couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a slap on the face, "You're a thief! Not a detective!"

Can you do your own job?

Kuroba Kaito: T^T
Can't he just be curious?

……

Lie returned to the original carriage and saw the end. He found a dead body lying on the ground next to the carriage node, and Kogoro Maori was squatting beside it to check.

Conan, who is small in stature but has a big head, is also searching nearby.

Lie blinked and walked forward - their seats were probably in the middle of the carriage, on the right, and judging from the position of the bodies, the incident should have occurred in the two seats in the front row.

When I passed by my seat, I saw Ran Mouri and Hiroki waiting obediently in their seats.

Rei pretended to ask Xiaolan if something happened. After getting an affirmative answer, he winked at Hiroki, made a weird face, and then walked slowly behind Mouri Kogoro and Conan under Hiroki's disdainful gaze.

Both of them checked very carefully and didn't notice Lie's arrival at all.

So, under the strange gazes of the passengers around him, Lie squatted behind Conan, with his head less than ten centimeters away from him, and blew gently on the back of Conan's neck.

Conan, who was pondering over a doubt, felt a chill on the back of his neck, and subconsciously reached out to scratch it.

As a result, when Conan stretched out his hand, he found that he seemed to have touched something.

He turned his head and was immediately frightened by Lie's big face.

"...Lin, Uncle Lin, when did you come back?" Conan watched speechlessly as Lie continued to blow air, making his bangs sway left and right.

"Just now... I saw Mr. Mao Li was solving a case seriously, and I was afraid to disturb him." Lie blinked his innocent eyes, "Hey, what happened? Why did this little girl fall to the ground?"

The body lying on the ground was that of a young woman, who looked no more than 27 or 28 years old.

Conan has not found any key evidence yet. After thinking for a while, he told Rei roughly what happened just now and the current examination results: "...Also, the deceased had a bitter almond taste in his mouth, so it should be potassium cyanide poisoning. The current suspects are Hitomi Reikawa on the left of the deceased, Megumi Iida on the right of the deceased, and Tomoko Kaisu opposite the deceased."

Lie touched his chin and said, "Oh, I see. Are these three the only people who handled the food that the deceased ate before he died of the poison?"

Through Conan's narration, the thread of events has become basically clear:

There were probably four people traveling together. Because they had not eaten breakfast before getting on the bus, they took out the food they brought with them and shared it in the car.

Unexpectedly, just now, one of them suddenly fell to the ground in great pain.

"This is a bit difficult." Lie nodded, "Now unless the train stops and the police come to check, there is no way to find any traces of potassium cyanide."

"indeed……"

Conan also pinched his chin and lowered his head to think, "But, the deceased was not the last one to touch the food they ate, but why are the others fine, only the deceased..."

Lie suddenly pressed down Conan's big head:
"Hey, Conan, you just said that the deceased suddenly had a seizure after someone came back from the toilet? Who was that person?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, "It was Miss Kaisu Tomoko who was originally sitting opposite the deceased..."
