In Conan, people have a brain option system.

Chapter 236 It’s definitely not Kaito Kidd! (22)

However, even when Sera Masumi shook his body and called his name, Tsukino Takashi still did not respond.

"Is it already difficult to be aroused by a slight stimulation?"

Masumi Sera whispered softly, then gently pried open Takashi Tsukino's mouth, leaned down and sniffed the inside of Takashi Tsukino's mouth.

Unfortunately, she didn't smell any obvious odor in Takashi Tsukino's mouth.

"Mr. Tsukino doesn't have a very noticeable taste in his mouth."

When Ginzo Nakamori saw Masumi Sera straighten up, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"Ms. Sera, you haven't figured out why Mr. Tsukino is in a coma?"

"Mr. Tsukino's breathing is a little slow but his heartbeat is within the normal range."

"We didn't see any obvious external injuries on Mr. Tsukino's body, nor any symptoms of hypoxia."

"So I guess maybe Mr. Tsukino was drugged."

Sera Masumi said.

"But Miss Sera didn't smell any obvious smell in Mr. Tsukino's mouth just now, right?"

A police officer behind asked.

“Not all medicines have a flavor.”

"Based on Mr. Tsukino's current behavior, it is consistent with the characteristics of taking sleeping pills and falling into a coma."

"For example, common benzodiazepines such as diazepam on the market will not have any obvious taste in the mouth after taking them."

Sera Masumi explained.

Benzodiazepines themselves generally do not have a strong taste.

Especially if it is mixed into food or drink, the residue or smell in the mouth may be very slight or even unnoticeable.

Even the slightly bitter and chemical taste of the pills themselves will gradually disappear over time.

Therefore, if Takashi Tsukino really fell into a coma due to taking this type of drug, it would be impossible to confirm the cause of his coma without medical examination.

A moment later, the police who went to look for medical staff also rushed back.

After several medical staff conducted a simple examination on Takayasu Tsukino, they made the same judgment as Masumi Sera.

Then Tsukino Takashi was carried out of the collection room.

During the time that Masumi Sera was testing Tsukino Takashi, Conan had already carefully observed the not-so-large collection room.

He found that the display case containing the Scarlet Shadow Heart showed no signs of being damaged.

And no obvious clues were found in the room.

"Officer Nakamori."

Conan suddenly called out Ginzo Nakamori.

Ginzo Nakamori turned and looked at Conan with a puzzled look on his face.

“Aren’t there any cameras installed in the collection room?”

"Yes, the camera is very secretive and most people may not be able to find it."

As Nakamori Ginzo said this, he pointed to a display cabinet in the corner of the room.

"There is a camera on top of this display case that is facing the central display case. If you don't look very carefully, you probably won't notice it at all."

Conan listened and looked towards the display cabinet.

Then I found an inconspicuous camera on the dark metal frame above the display cabinet.

Since the overall color of the camera is the same as the color of the metal frame, even Conan didn't notice it at first.

Ginzo Nakamori sent police to check the surveillance video.

Then, after inspecting the situation at the scene, he returned to the room where Akikawa Sosuke and his group were.

"Mr. Tsukino was found unconscious in the Scarlet Shadow Heart's collection room, and the Scarlet Shadow Heart was missing."

"What--?!"

The guests in the room all exclaimed after hearing what Ginzo Nakamori said.

Everyone had an extremely surprised expression on their faces. No one had expected that the gems would be stolen before the exhibition even started.

"Kaito Kidd! It must be Kaito Kidd!!"

Kenichi Matsumoto, the old professor who has always disliked Kaito Kid, said loudly.

"He must have sneaked into the venue yesterday, forced Mr. Tsukino to hand over the gemstone, knocked Mr. Tsukino unconscious, tied him up, and ran away!"

"The notice he sent out was just a cover!"

"That was just a lie told by Kaito Kidd to make everyone let down their guard!"

Seto Rin, a junior student who likes Kaito Kid, felt extremely dissatisfied after hearing what Matsumoto Kenichi said.

Just as she was about to angrily refute Matsumoto Kenichi who was slandering Kaito Kid, she heard two voices speaking at the same time.

"impossible!"

Conan and Ginzo Nakamori almost unanimously denied Matsumoto Kenichi's statement.

Ginzo Nakamori looked at Conan in surprise, while Conan looked away awkwardly.

"Although I'm still not quite sure what's going on."

"But there are a few things that are certain."

"This incident was definitely not done by Kaito Kidd!"

Nakamori Ginzo said in a decisive tone.

The police officer behind Ginzo Nakamori and Kenichi Matsumoto all showed puzzled expressions.

"Based on my experience of fighting Kaito Kidd so many times, Kaito Kidd will definitely abide by the contents of the notice."

"Since he said he would take the treasure today, it is impossible that he did it yesterday."

"Secondly, Kaito Kidd's methods of stealing treasures are all very gorgeous and magical."

"As Mr. Matsumoto just said, it is absolutely impossible for Kaito Kidd to threaten someone to hand over the gem, and then tie up the person and knock him unconscious after getting the gem."

"This is not in line with Kaito Kid's style."

"But doesn't the situation at the scene prove that the criminal did this?"

Kenichi Matsumoto asked.

"That means the culprit is not Kaito Kidd, but someone else."

Nakamori Ginzo said.

"Oh~ Uncle, you really understand~!"

Although Ginzo Nakamori was on the opposite side of Kaito Kid, his remarks were so objective that Seto Rin was impressed.

Being praised by the female college student, Nakamori Ginzo coughed a little awkwardly, and then looked at everyone in the room.

"Who was the last one to leave after rehearsal yesterday?"

Nakamori Ginzo continued to ask.

"It's me." Seto Rin raised her hand. "Although I was the last one to leave, I was only a few minutes late packing up. I didn't stay here for long."

Ginzo Nakamori then turned and looked at the other guests.

After he confirmed them one by one, he found that everyone's statements were basically the same.

"Come to think of it, there was something concerning about Mr. Tsukino yesterday."

Suddenly, Toru Amuro spoke, attracting the attention of Ginzo Nakamori.

Although they are both police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ginzo Nakamori does not know Toru Amuro.

He cast a questioning look at Amuro Toru.

Then I heard Toru Amuro say:
"Mr. Tsukino was coughing badly yesterday and was wearing a mask the entire day."

Toru Amuro stopped there.

In order to prevent Akikawa Sosuke from noticing the clues, he did not continue analyzing.
