Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 195 Maori is not confused

Just as Tachibana Seiji was poking at Takasugi Toshihiko's lungs with words, Matsumoto Sayuri's best friend Takenaka Kazumi finally realized what was happening.

Takasugi Toshihiko, her ex-boyfriend, wants to poison his current girlfriend - and it's the most painful poison.

What a vicious act this is. Takasugi Toshihiko's behavior once made Takenaka Kazumi feel that she did not understand this man.

Kazumi Takenaka's feelings were complicated, incredibly complicated. The reason was simple: Takasugi Toshihiko's actions had surpassed her expectations. While there were murderers everywhere in Beika Town, Kazumi Takenaka never dared to imagine that she was surrounded by one.

Takasugi Toshihiko's defense seemed ridiculous to Takenaka Kazumi, just as Tachibana Seiji said: Every wrong has its perpetrator, and if you, Takasugi Toshihiko, want to seek revenge, then go find Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

What's the big deal about poisoning someone's daughter?

Furthermore, the nature of the incident back then couldn't be called an accident, but it was certainly an incident. Did Matsumoto Seinaga catch the wrong thief?
Ultimately, shouldn't this responsibility be placed on the suspect who fled in panic?

According to Takasugi Toshihiko's logic, his biggest enemy should be the escaped suspect. So why would he seek revenge on the Matsumoto father and daughter?
Ultimately, it's because Matsumoto Kiyonaga and Matsumoto Sayuri are "good people." Good people deserve to be held at gunpoint.

Just as Kazumi Takenaka said, under the influence of Sayuri Matsumoto, she is a firm childhood sweetheart.

This is also the main reason why she could give up Takasugi Toshihiko, the "high-quality stock", so easily.

Kazumi Takenaka originally thought that Sayuri Matsumoto married Toshihiko Takasugi to "enjoy her life" for her, but now she sees that her best friend was actually taking the blame for her!
Although there is no grudge between Kazumi Takenaka's family and Toshihiko Takasugi, sometimes in Beika Town, it only takes a single word to create hatred.

One wrong word can turn the two sides into enemies, and then one of them who is more impulsive and has stronger execution ability will kill.

The fact that Takasugi Toshihiko can do such a thing now proves that this guy has some murderous elements in him.

Kazumi Takenaka looked at Sayuri Matsumoto. She didn't even have time to be afraid at this moment, and the first thing she did was to care about her best friend.

Then she noticed Sayuri Matsumoto's expression of great sorrow and despair.

Yes, the person who was hurt the most in this incident was never Takasugi Toshihiko, nor the potential victim Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

The real victim is Sayuri Matsumoto, who is caught between the two and doesn't know what to do.

On one side is the father who raised me all by myself, and on the other side is my childhood sweetheart who is filled with all kinds of beautiful filters.
Takasugi Toshihiko's poisoning method was not very sophisticated, not even a trick. At most, he blocked the sight of Sonoko, Ran, and Takenaka Kazumi.

His little movements were all visible to both Tachibana Shizuka and Matsumoto Sayuri.

Sayuri Matsumoto, who was already nervous, realized that her childhood sweetheart was still resentful about the accident after seeing his actions.

What could Sayuri Matsumoto do, caught in the middle? She might be a teacher, but she was only a music teacher. Her skills lay in teaching, and she had no experience with verbal combat.

At the same time, Sayuri Matsumoto didn't think that the resentment of more than ten or twenty years could be resolved by her in just a few words.

Since this is the case, the Matsumoto family must give Takasugi Toshihiko an explanation. So Matsumoto Sayuri prepared to drink the lemon tea that Takasugi Toshihiko had tampered with.

Unfortunately, before she could take the drink can, Tachibana Shizuka had already stopped Takasugi Toshihiko.

Sayuri Matsumoto tried to get Shizuka Tachibana to shut up and let her handle the situation, but Shizuka Tachibana ignored her and even let Ran, who was incredibly strong, hold her so she wouldn't do anything.

Seeing her best friend's behavior, Kazumi Takenaka prepared to do something to help Sayuri Matsumoto.

She walked up to the groom Takasugi Toshihiko in a threatening manner, and Tachibana Seiji was very tactful and made way for Takenaka Kazumi.

Kazumi Takenaka's sudden approach made Takasugi Toshihiko a little nervous.

When he approached Sayuri Matsumoto, his mind was full of thoughts. It can be said that all his preparations were for today's action.

Everything is fake: the love is fake, the desire to get married is fake, the only thing that is real is the desire to poison Sayuri Matsumoto.

But Kazumi Takenaka and Sayuri Matsumoto are different.

When Toshihiko Takasugi was dating Kazumi Takenaka, he didn't know that she had a close friend named Sayuri Matsumoto.

This means that their feelings are real and the sweetness is genuine when they are in a relationship.

Takasugi Toshihiko didn't even know what to say about Takenaka Kazumi's arrival. He could only call out Takenaka Kazumi's name in vain and powerlessly:

"One beauty."

"Pa!!!" Kazumi Takenaka stared at Takasugi Toshihiko for a long time, then swung her arm and slapped Takasugi Toshihiko in the face.

After such a fierce fight, Takasugi Toshihiko's face began to turn red with the naked eye. Then, a red slap mark appeared on his clean cheek.

"Izumi, you." Takasugi Toshihiko's face was full of shock. He seemed to have not expected that Takenaka Izumi would give him a big fight at this time.

"What do you know, you idiot! Sayuri, Sayuri, she is the childhood sweetheart you missed out on in your childhood!"

Takasugi Toshihiko was struck by lightning, and then looked at Matsumoto Sayuri in shock.

The world of Conan is a world of childhood sweethearts. These two clearly never saw each other again after they separated as children. To be honest, the time they spent together during their childhood was not very long.

I just don't know where their deep emotional foundation comes from. One has waited for the other for so many years, and the other seems to be on the verge of shedding tears and kneeling down to confess.

Tachibana Shizuka heard the chaotic but hurried footsteps coming from the corridor, and walked forward to interrupt Takasugi Toshihiko's spell casting.

"Come on, man, stop crying crocodile tears. You didn't even recognize her, which means your childhood sweetheart is nothing to you.

Isn't it too late to cry now? What were you thinking when you poisoned me just now?

【Clang! 】

The door of the dressing room was roughly pushed open, and outside the door stood the dark-faced Matsumoto Kiyonaga and a group of detectives from the Investigation Section.

Tachibana Shizuka took a quick look and saw that all his old acquaintances were there, including Officer Megure, Officer Shiratori, Officer Takagi, and Officer Chiba.

Because the department needed a leader to stay behind, Officer Sato, as the deputy inspector and the third in command of Department 3, chose to stay in the office. Matsumoto Kiyonaga walked into the dressing room and immediately looked for his daughter. After finding Matsumoto Sayuri standing beside Xiaolan safely, he felt a little relieved.

"What's going on?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga came to Tachibana Shizuka and Takasugi Toshihiko. Just now, on the way here, Sonoko roughly told Matsumoto Kiyonaga what had just happened.

However, Sonoko did not explain the specific situation clearly, but she did make it clear that Takasugi Toshihiko was going to poison Matsumoto Sayuri.

Tachibana Shizuka handed over the task of guarding Takasugi Toshihiko to an ordinary detective, then picked up the lemon tea and handed it to Matsumoto Seinaga.

"Just now, when Mr. Takasugi came in, he took advantage of the others not noticing and poured a large amount of sodium hydroxide into Mr. Matsumoto's drink.

Finally, I stopped him when he was about to give the drink to Mr. Matsumoto."

"Officer Matsumoto, you're an experienced criminal. You should know the state of someone who overdoses on sodium hydroxide and how much pain they're in."

"Also, Ms. Matsumoto seems to have discovered Takasugi Toshihiko's poisoning, but she seems to want to help you 'atone', so she didn't refuse the tampered drink.

He was even ready to drink the drink in front of Takasugi Toshihiko."

Ultimately, what happened back then was a mess. If Matsumoto Kiyonaga was responsible for the accident, he would never have been promoted.

After the incident, Matsumoto Kiyonaga returned to his hometown, hoping to make some compensation to the mother and son. Unfortunately, he did not find them.

If it weren't for Tachibana Shizuka's words, perhaps Matsumoto Kiyonaga would have accepted this "son-in-law" even if he had to hold his nose for the sake of his daughter.

But when he heard what Tachibana Shizuka said, he immediately realized that his daughter's guilt towards Takasugi Toshihiko was fatal.

This feeling of guilt will make Sayuri Matsumoto never be able to hold her head up in this relationship.

No one will always be at a disadvantage in a relationship. No matter how cowardly a man is, he will have his moment of glory. Similarly, no matter how fierce a woman is, she will have her moment of dependence.

This kind of feeling that is always unequal cannot be regarded as a feeling, it can only be regarded as pua, cpu, icu
If she really swallowed her anger and watched her daughter marry this bastard, Sayuri Matsumoto's life would be ruined.

So Matsumoto Kiyonaga felt a pang of distress for his daughter at first, but after the distress subsided, he felt a subtle sense of joy.

He had never liked Takasugi Toshihiko, a man who was indecisive - but now it seemed that Takasugi Toshihiko was not indecisive at all, he was just not a human being.

After Tachibana Shizuka's description, Takasugi Toshihiko had no intention of refuting it at all, because what Tachibana Shizuka said was all true.

As for those analyses of his psychology, although Takasugi Toshihiko didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Tachibana Shizuka's analysis was correct.

More importantly, he was afraid of Matsumoto Kiyonaga. As a child, he didn't know what the management officer of the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division 1 meant.

But now that he had grown up, having grown up in a conglomerate family, he knew very well what kind of resources a powerful official in the Metropolitan Police Department could call upon.

Not to mention that Matsumoto Kiyonaga is a well-known hardliner in the Metropolitan Police Department. He has both qualifications and achievements, so promotion is just around the corner.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga stared at the slap mark on Takasugi Toshihiko's face for a long time. It seemed that he felt that the slap mark on his face was a little asymmetrical, so he made the same action as Takenaka Kazumi.

Matsumoto Seinaga swung his arm and slapped Takasugi Toshihiko in the face. The crisp sound of the slap lingered in the dressing room for three days without stopping.

As if he still felt that the slap marks on Takasugi Toshihiko's face had some flaws, Matsumoto Kiyonaga continued to swing his arms and slapped him several times from front and back.

After Matsumoto Kiyonaga had vented his anger, the very discerning Inspector Megure stepped forward and took away the can of lemon tea as evidence.

Shiratori walked up with handcuffs and handcuffed Takasugi Toshihiko - it seemed that the marriage would not take place today.

After Takasugi Toshihiko was taken away, Matsumoto Kiyonaga simply comforted his daughter with a few words and left the dressing room.

After all, today was supposed to be a great day for the newlyweds, and both sides had plenty of guests. Matsumoto Kiyonaga should at least inform the guests that the wedding banquet was cancelled, and at the same time, check with the Takasugi family.

Are you here to get married, to seek revenge, or to prepare to make enemies?
After Matsumoto Kiyonaga left, Matsumoto Sayuri sat on the chair without saying a word, her eyes staring straight ahead.

"Then we'll say goodbye first, Mr. Matsumoto." Tachibana Seiji, Xiaolan and Sonoko exchanged glances and prepared to leave this "place of trouble".

It was Shizuka Tachibana who exposed Takasugi Toshihiko's behavior, and at this moment Shizuka Tachibana had no intention of staying here and being annoying.

The three of them came together, so naturally they had to leave together. Before leaving, Tachibana Shizuka left a message for this top love-brained person for Xiaolan's sake:
"Mr. Matsumoto, it's not easy for Manager Matsumoto either. You should know him better than I do. Some things can't be based on just one side of the story.

Even if you don't think about yourself, at least think about your father. If you really want to marry that kind of guy, do you want Administrator Matsumoto to be his slave and let him abuse you?"

As the saying goes, the son of a Zhongshan wolf, once he learns something, he becomes rampant. It is obvious that Takasugi Toshihiko is such a person. A complete villain.

After leaving the wedding venue, Tachibana Shizuka first took Sonoko home. The car was silent for a while along the way.

Just as they were about to reach Sonoko's house, Sonoko suddenly sighed, "It seems that childhood sweethearts aren't that good after all. They're really not as good as the one sent from heaven."

Originally, Sonoko was quite envious of Ran's childhood sweetheart. Even though he wasn't a very good person, he was still the boy she grew up with. How many wonderful love stories have been born between childhood sweethearts?

But now it seems that we should forget about childhood sweethearts, right?
"It's not that good to begin with. You think too much, Sonoko." Xiaolan said helplessly to Sonoko.

Isn't she the one who knows best whether childhood sweethearts are good or not?
"No matter what, I hope everything goes well for Teacher Sayuri in the future!" Sonoko said this before getting out of the car, and then waved goodbye to Tachibana Shizuka and Ran in the car.

When Tachibana Shizuka sent Xiaolan downstairs to her house, he happened to meet Mouri Kogoro who was about to go out.

"Dad? Are you going out?" Xiaolan looked at Kogoro Mouri, who was dressed in a suit and tie, and asked curiously.

"Yes, I suddenly received a commission. It's very urgent." Kogoro Mouri seemed full of resentment.

Which employee would like the boss to assign urgent tasks near the end of the working day?

"By the way, since Shizuka is driving, why not give me a ride?"
