Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 107 Vermouth: Is this Rice Flower? It feels even more chaotic than Sin City.

"Lin Jun, what about you?"

Kudo Yusaku ignored Maori Kogoro and others, but looked at Lin Xiuyi.

"Since you believe that Lady Miyagi is the murderer, then you should already have some idea of how she was poisoned, right?"

"Hmm," Lin Xiu nodded, then asked in confusion, "You're acting a little strange today. You keep asking me questions and testing me. You don't want to make fun of me when I can't answer them, do you?"

Kudo Yusaku's expression froze. He had really planned to wait until Lin Xiuyi couldn't answer, and then he would say the answer himself. By then, Miss Fujimine would definitely look at him with admiration!

"Tsk, if you know, just say it. Why are you pretending? Do you think you're smart?" Fujimine Yukiko curled her lips. "Shuiyi, what's going on?"

Uh, I...

Kudo Yusaku was in tears. If he had known earlier, he would have said it directly. Now it has the opposite effect.

Lin Xiu glanced at him and explained to everyone, "In fact, Madam Gongcheng's method of poisoning is very simple, just a trick."

"A trick?" Maori Kogoro asked doubtfully, "Could it be that she didn't actually leave just now?"

"She did leave just now, but she didn't go far. She was observing Mr. Miyagi's movements from a distance," Lin Xiuyi continued, "so that she could run back in time after Mr. Miyagi fell to the ground."

"But if Mr. Miyagi wasn't poisoned, why did he fall to the ground?" Fujimine Yukiko looked puzzled.

"Mr. Miyagi's cause of death was poisoning, but that doesn't mean he collapsed earlier," Lin Xiuyi reminded him. "Didn't we hear Mrs. Miyagi reminding Director Miyagi to take his medicine in the lounge earlier? This suggests that Director Miyagi already had an illness."

"But I remember he took medicine at that time," said Yukiko Fujimine.

"He did take the medicine, but he also said something strange, 'Why are there only two pills left? I remember there should be half a bottle left,'" Lin Xiuyi said solemnly. "I think this is probably why Director Miyagi collapsed."

"You mean, Mrs. Miyagi tampered with Director Miyagi's medicine in advance?" Kisaki Eri understood a little.

"Director Miyagi has diabetes,"

Seeing Fujimine Yukiko staring at Hayashi Xiuyi with shining eyes, Kudo Yusaku could no longer bear it.
"I heard him mention this to someone while walking down the hall. Based on your description, Director Miyagi's symptoms before he collapsed were most likely low blood sugar."

"I see," Fujimine Yukiko clapped her hands excitedly. "People with diabetes take blood sugar-lowering medication. Mrs. Miyagi tampered with the medication ahead of time, causing Director Miyagi to overdose and fall to the ground due to hypoglycemia."

"That's right," Kudo Yusaku nodded. Just as he was about to continue, Fujimine Yukiko ignored him and instead pulled Hayashi Shuichi's arm and asked, "Am I right, Shuichi?" "That's basically it," Hayashi Shuichi pondered. "I think the blood sugar-lowering medication Director Miyagi took was in capsules. Mrs. Miyagi opened the capsules ahead of time and concentrated the excess medication into two capsules. That's why Director Miyagi said he had much less medication at the time."

"Mrs. Miyagi didn't stay away because she was afraid that the real reason why Director Miyagi collapsed would be discovered. She had to poison Director Miyagi before anyone else could react. Otherwise, if someone realized that Director Miyagi collapsed from hypoglycemia, not cyanide poisoning, her plan would be ruined."

"I remember that after Director Miyagi fell to the ground, Mrs. Miyagi immediately ran over and hugged him in her arms," said Eri Kisaki with emotion. "At the time, I thought it was a sign of their deep love. Now I think she must have poisoned him then, right?"

"Director Miyagi had already fallen into a coma due to hypoglycemia," Lin Xiu nodded. "While Mrs. Miyagi was holding him, she could have easily killed him by stabbing him in a vital part with a cyanide-coated needle without causing a major reaction or attracting attention. As long as we can find where the needle was hidden, we can prove her guilt."

"The poison needle? Could she have put it in that syringe?" Sharon Wynyard speculated, "the one they found on Miss Goto?"

"No," Hayashi Hideichi shook his head. "After poisoning Director Miyagi, Mrs. Miyagi did deliberately start an argument with Goto Runa, but there were police officers watching, and Inspector Samezaki personally confirmed that Mrs. Miyagi's hand never touched Goto Runa's pocket. She probably did that simply to let the police discover the syringe she had already placed in Goto Runa's pocket."

"Before?" Sharon Wynyard was stunned. "You mean when Ms. Goto threw those photos and the two of them had their first argument?"

"That's right," Lin Xiu nodded. "At that time, the two of them were fighting each other, and Mrs. Miyagi had every opportunity to put the syringe into Goto Runa's pocket."

"Could it be that Lady Miyagi was the one who instigated Miss Goto to cause this trouble?" Sharon Wynyard frowned. "Did she plan all along to make Miss Goto her scapegoat?"

"This must be just a coincidence," Lin Xiuyi thought for a moment. "As a former star who has retired from the entertainment industry, Mrs. Miyagi probably doesn't have enough face to ask the organizers of the film event to force Goto Runa to participate."

"Based on the conversation between the couple that Yukiko and I overheard in the lounge, Director Miyagi often hangs out with young actresses for various reasons."

At this point, Lin Xiuyi glanced at Sharon Wynyard.

"Her original plan was to randomly find a woman who had close contact with Director Miyagi during tonight's event, such as you, Miss Wynyard. However, the sudden appearance of Goto Runa gave her a better target to frame."

Sharon Wynyard was a little surprised when she heard this. This is Rice Krispie, why does it feel more chaotic than Sin City in the United States?

I've only been here for a few days and I was almost framed and became a scapegoat!
At this moment, the forensic police officer reported to Inspector Samezaki: "We detected cyanide residue in the syringe that fell from Miss Goto's body."

"How, how is this possible! I really didn't kill Miyagi!" Goto Runa's face turned pale, her legs softened, and she collapsed to the ground. "Someone must have framed me! Where's the person who arranged for me to participate in today's event? He must have been the one who killed Miyagi. I was just the scapegoat he found!"

"We're still investigating that person's identity," Inspector Samezaki said solemnly. "Until then, Ms. Goto, please come with us back to the Metropolitan Police Department for investigation."

"Officer," Mrs. Miyagi wiped her tears, "Can I go to the lounge for a while? I still can't accept Kazuya's sudden departure..."
