Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 127 Normal Intercourse

When Shiraishi first entered the crime scene and recognized Mr. Masato Mine, he was also shocked!
Because in his impression, Teacher Feng has always been rather dull... one could even say he has a socially anxious personality. He never expected that the next time he saw him after graduation would be in a nightclub?
and……

I heard he was still doing Sudoku in the nightclub?

"Shiraishi-san, I'm sorry to make you laugh... I didn't expect something like this to happen, and for you to see it." Feng Masato said shyly.

"Really...Teacher Feng, what are you doing?" Bai Shi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I've only been here a few times with the director, but then I don't know why, but I quite like the environment here... and I'm not married! There's no point in doing Sudoku at home alone." Feng Zhengren was frank as if he was talking about a coffee shop.

Shiraishi:……

So you come here to do Sudoku?
"Director?" Bai Shi asked in confusion.

"Ah! By the way, Mr. Feng looks familiar...is that right..." Takagi seemed to remember something at this time.

Feng Zhengren said embarrassedly: "Well, there is a popular science variety show that sometimes asks me to talk about some math knowledge."

"Yes, yes, that's the show. I heard it's going to be changed from a seasonal special to a long-term show." Takagi responded and commented positively: "Because of the contrast in the personality of the 'Great Professor', it's very effective!"

"The Great Professor" should be the name he is called in the show...

Hearing Takagi say this, Mine Masato felt even more embarrassed.

"Haha, that's right, it's because you're famous and rich, Mr. Feng, that Kumi keeps pestering you... She even warned us not to get involved!"

Kyoko, who had just been questioned by Takagi, came over and interrupted.

Perhaps because he thought that after something like this happened, Feng Zhengren would never come here again, Xiangzi didn't want to pretend anymore.

"Don't talk nonsense! Kumi is not that kind of person." Feng immediately corrected seriously.

"Eh? Teacher Feng, you haven't realized yet that Kumi is actually cheating you out of your money, right?" Xiangzi said in surprise.

"Huh? Scam?" Takagi immediately realized it - if this was true, then... Mine Masato was also a suspect!

"What do you mean by cheating? Kumi has never cheated me!" Feng Zhengren said angrily.

"Officer, is there anything surprising? Aren't all the men who come here like this? But...others just spend a little money and are coaxed by us. It's all tacitly understood after all...but isn't Mr. Feng a little too into the role?" Xiang said as a matter of course.

"Um...Teacher Feng, how much money have you spent on Kumi?" Takagi asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"I... I did transfer money to Kumi, but she also transferred some back to me! She even gave me gifts during festivals... How can this be considered a scam?" Mine Masato seemed very angry and excited.

But then he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately muttered: "Only by obeying reason can one be a human being... I must be rational, I must be calm... huh..." Then he calmed down.

Shiraishi:……

"Teacher Feng, regarding the accounts between you and Miss Kumi, can we..." Bai Shi asked, unable to bear it any longer.

"Of course!" Feng said, glaring at Xiangzi, then handed the phone to Shiraishi.

7 month 1 day.

Feng Zhengren transferred 50000 yuan to Kumi.

Kumei: Don’t transfer money to me all the time. You don’t make much money as a teacher. You should think about your future.

……

7 month 9 day.

Kumei: Ah, I really want to leave here as soon as possible and open a milk tea shop.

Feng Zhengren transferred 100000 yuan to Kumi.

……

7 month 15 day.

Kumi: Do you have the funds to go to Aomori to conduct an on-site inspection of Uji tea?

Feng Zhengren transferred 80000 yuan to Kumi.

……

8 month 8 day.

Jiumei: My eyes have been hurting lately, so I went to get a cataract vaccine...

Feng Zhengren transferred 88000 yuan to Kumi.

……

9 month 1 day.

Kumi transferred 520 yuan to Feng Zhengren.

Feng Zhengren: ???

Jiumei: Happy school start.

Feng Zhengren: Heart shape.jpg.

... Shiraishi: ...

"So what? It's normal economic transactions, right?" Feng Zhengren said unconvinced.

"This... from the perspective of numbers, it's not 'normal' at all, right?" Yuan said that he was very good at math and this kind of comparison was not difficult for him at all.

"And why do we have to go to Aomori to investigate Uji tea?" Yamada said that he was very good at geography and Uji was in Shizuoka Prefecture.

"What is the cataract vaccine? Can cataracts be treated with a vaccine?" Kuroki said that he is very good at medicine and there is no way there is a vaccine for cataracts!

Bai Shi was speechless...

"Teacher Feng, you are being looked down upon by a math idiot because of your math... no, because of numbers." Shiraishi sighed in his heart, "Love is so scary."

"You guys...you haven't gotten married yet, right?" Feng Zhengren began to make irrational personal attacks.

Shiraishi was not to be outdone, and immediately pointed at Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector Megure is married, and when they met, Mrs. Megure was... wuwuwu..."

At this time, Megure rushed over, stood on tiptoe, and covered Shiraishi's mouth with his hand!

"Ahem! Don't talk about topics that have nothing to do with the case! But...Teacher Feng, it seems that you also have a motive to kill." Megure interrupted Shiraishi.

Although Gao Mu looked over curiously, he didn't dare to ask even if he had the guts.

"What? I..." Feng Zhengren became indignant at this time.

and……

It’s not so much that she was angry about being suspected, but rather... she was angry that “these people suspected that Kumi had deceived them.”

"But then again... if wine glass number 16 was poisoned, then anyone who could touch the glass would be a suspect... it would be great if we could find the container of the poison." Shiraishi said this, and deliberately looked at Takei.

Indeed, anyone who knows the rules of the game and understands the principles will understand that the No. 16 wine will eventually be mixed into the large cup that Kumi drank.

As luck would have it, at this moment, Sato came running over and said, "Inspector Megure...ah, Chief Shiraishi is here too...we found a medicine bottle with cyanide residue in it, in the trash can in the women's bathroom, but unfortunately no fingerprints were found."

Sato is now able to go back to work, but Chiba is still in the hospital.

"Look! It's the women's restroom!" Feng Zhengren looked as if he had been cleared of suspicion.

"There's no way to prove that you haven't been there..." Takagi muttered softly - there were not many people in the store at the time, so it was indeed difficult to use this as evidence.

"You suspect me of going to the ladies' room? You...be rational, I need to be rational...I need to be calm..." Feng Zhengren got himself mad again.

Shiraishi:……

"Ms. Kyoko, from what you just said, it seems that you have some resentment towards the victim? And it was you who took wine glass number 16, so I need you to explain it clearly." Megure said seriously at this time.

Megure's deterrent power was still much stronger than Takagi's. At least Kyoko didn't dare to continue smiling, but she still said: "If this is considered 'resentment', then everyone here resents Kumi, right? She usually behaves well in front of guests, but she is very domineering in front of us... This game rule was also thought up by her!"

Indeed, although she is the "top star", the rule of everyone treating her like a star also seems to be a bit contemptuous of others.

"Then this is not a reason to kill!" Maori said dissatisfiedly.

"Who knows... Oh, and Kazuyo. Was it Kazuyo who got to know Mr. Feng first? Kumi found out that after he became famous, he privately warned Kazuyo not to get close to Mr. Feng... Oh, and before that, Kumi also used some game to force Kazuyo to drink wine, which she was allergic to, and ended up sending Kazuyo to the hospital."

Xiangzi then started to expose the truth.

The hostess and the agent she accused remained silent at this time.

"By the way, Inspector Takei, you see... a poison container was found in the bathroom. It seems that it was most likely done by someone in the store. We may have to continue the investigation today. It won't affect your business, right?" Shiraishi suddenly asked Takei.

"Officer Shiraishi, let me say it again... I'm here to have fun too!" Takei ignored him.

"Who of you is accompanying him today?" Shiraishi asked Xiangzi. Seeing that no one responded, Shiraishi asked, "Are you here to do Sudoku as well?"

"Inspector Megure, I'm going to take a rest. Call me if you need anything." Takei ignored him.

"Officers, today..." the bartender asked helplessly.

"Close the business." Bai Shi said with a wave of his hand.

"Yes." The bartender didn't dare to say anything more in front of Bai Shi.

He is actually a peripheral member of the [Arakawa Group]. Although he is dressed neatly, his face looks very "organized".

If only Souyi was here, he might have said a few words, but since Bai Shi was here too, he decisively accepted the "closure of business".

"Inspector Megure, there are quite a few people who need to be screened. Let my people assist in the questioning." Shiraishi said proactively.

If we can keep the person here at this time, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of the search.

and……

Since there are more than twenty suspects, Shiraishi asked Kuroki, Gen and others to work overtime!
Firstly, it was to do a favor for Inspector Megure, who really needed manpower now; secondly, it would allow Kuroki and Gen and the others to become familiar with the head office, which would make it easier for them to apply for transfers in the future; thirdly... Shiraishi could see that Kuroki had other purposes.

"That's great... After that, please prepare a few rooms. People who participated in the game and all employees who had contact with alcohol will be questioned separately." Seeing that the merchant was so "reasonable", Megure immediately started the investigation in the most efficient way.

At the same time, Kuroki was so impolite that he asked the "important person" of the bartender to come over and question him!

Yuan looked at him in confusion. Since he was just "helping", there was no need to interrogate this special person involved in the case, right? Wouldn't it be better to screen the 19 hostesses?
