Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 38 The murderer revealed himself!
When Matsumoto Kiyonaga arrived at the scene, he only saw Toshihiko kneeling helplessly beside the bride, while Masakazu stood aside, watching without any emotion.

Without any thought.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga pushed Toshihiko away and looked at his daughter.

Forensic pathologist Nagamune immediately pushed Matsumoto Kiyona aside.

Move aside, this is my area of ​​expertise, don't disturb me while I'm working.

"Get out of my way! My daughter isn't dead, I don't need a forensic doctor!" Matsumoto Kiyonaga shoved Chosoya away in a fit of rage, like a lion ready to devour its prey.

Choso was not angry. He simply said to Matsumoto Kiyonaga, "Forensic doctors don't just examine corpses. I'm trying to save your daughter!"

“Then we don’t need you!” Matsumoto Kiyoshi roared.

Now, he no longer trusts this unscrupulous forensic doctor.

Choso ignored Matsumoto Kiyonaga. Now, Matsumoto Kiyonaga was no longer an officer in charge of the Metropolitan Police Department, but a family member of the victim. There were many cases of family members obstructing law enforcement due to emotional distress.

There was no need for Changzong to listen to him or argue with him; he simply continued to move closer to the bride.

He pried open the bride's mouth, his eyelids twitching: "Judging from the smell, it should be sodium hydroxide, and her mouth has been burned to this extent."

However, he is still breathing, and with timely rescue, his life may be saved.

Changzong touched the lemon tea can again; even now, it was still very hot.

After the ambulance arrived and took Sayuri away, Matsumoto Kiyonaga could no longer bear it. He rushed to Masakazu's side, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up.

"You did it, didn't you?" Matsumoto Kiyonaga glared angrily at Masakazu.

Zheng Yi gently pushed Matsumoto Kiyonaga away, frowning as he said, "Don't frame an innocent person. I've known for a long time that you misunderstand me, otherwise I wouldn't have investigated me, but please don't try to pin all sorts of accusations on me, okay?"

Again.

Zheng Yi was pure and innocent; he had never killed a chicken in his life.

“You just threatened me, and now my daughter is in trouble. Do you really think I’m stupid, that I’m naive enough to think that none of this has anything to do with you?” Matsumoto Kiyoshi said.

"Why not?" Zheng Yi said calmly.

This arrogant attitude further angered Matsumoto Kiyonaga.

“I’m not one of those people you persecuted before, and I won’t tolerate your behavior,” Matsumoto Kiyonaga said.

Masaichi shrugged indifferently and said, "I don't know if you'll swallow your anger, but I do know that the Metropolitan Police Department requires evidence when handling cases."

Without evidence, this is a frame-up against me, and I will pursue legal action against you.

"Humph!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga snorted coldly.

The wedding here didn't invite that guy Kogoro Mouri. Without his henchman standing up for you, let's see how you escape punishment.

Even the Emperor must abide by the law on the surface.

"I found a capsule in the lemon tea." Forensic pathologist Chang Zong picked up a fragment of the capsule with tweezers.

Inspector Megure stepped forward and examined the contents, guessing, "The culprit must have put the capsule in the lemon tea. This way, by the time the poison dissolves, some time has passed, making it impossible to determine the timeframe for the investigation."

"Therefore, the murderer should be one of the people who had come into contact with the lemon tea."

Junyan frowned and asked, "So, I'm one of the suspects too?"

“That’s right,” Inspector Megure said.

Currently, there are four suspects.

The best friend who bought the lemon tea, Xiaobaihe's fiancé, was her first love, and she had a motive to poison him.

The male classmate who came to visit had no motive. Junyan had no motive.

Manager Matsumoto had no motive for murder.

Zheng Yi is not among the four suspects; he is not a suspect.

Shoichi leisurely sipped his lemon tea, showing no interest in the case, except that Manager Matsumoto seemed to be paying extra attention to him.

Shoichi didn't care about Matsumoto Kiyonaga's strange gaze.

If one is upright, one has nothing to fear. What does he have to worry about?
Seeing that Ai had been there for so long without having a sip of water, Masayuki shared his lemon tea with her.

Ai just held the lemon tea, feeling the temperature, but didn't dare to drink it.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga kept staring at him, and Masakazu couldn't help but say to him, "Manager Matsumoto, Sayuri herself also came into contact with that bottle of lemon tea. Maybe she committed suicide."

"Hmph! Absolutely impossible."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga stared fiercely at Masakazu.

It's always suicide. Does he really think everyone is stupid?
"Megure, seal off the scene. Everyone in the room is a suspect. We can't let any suspects go until the murderer is found," said Supervisor Matsumoto.

"Yes!"

Inspector Megure saluted, and the police officers, who were originally in formal attire, quickly changed into their work uniforms.

Zheng Yi sat in the chair, not wanting to communicate with anyone.
He smiled and said to Inspector Megure, "Should we ask Kogoro Mouri to come over? If it's just your police force, I'm afraid you won't be able to solve the case by tonight."

Inspector Megure was somewhat alarmed upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's name.

"Don't worry, even without a detective, our police force can find the culprit," Inspector Megure said.

Should we bring Kogoro Mouri over here so we can exonerate you faster?

Now everyone knows that Kogoro Mouri is your personal detective, and with him around, you are absolutely pure and innocent.

"Inspector Megure, Sayuri committed suicide."

Inspector Megure frowned as he looked at forensic pathologist Nagamune. How exactly could they get this guy transferred?

Your boss's boss is watching right there, and the victim is your boss's boss's daughter. Can't you at least try to cover up your ambition and desire for advancement?
Zheng Yi clapped his hands and watched the good show with a smile.

Forensic pathologist Chang Zong took out the capsule that was in the sealed bag and said, "I detected sodium hydroxide in the lemon tea, which means that the capsule had already broken before Xiaobaihe swallowed it."

Sodium hydroxide releases a lot of heat when it dissolves in water.

When I pried open Xiaobaihe's mouth just now, I found that her mouth and throat were burned.

"If it wasn't suicide, only a fool would drink liquid that hot. Therefore, she definitely committed suicide."

"Clap clap~"

Zheng Yi stood up and applauded forensic pathologist Chang Zong, saying, "As expected of the chief forensic pathologist and patrol officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, your professional skills are indeed top-notch. You came to the conclusion that Sayuri committed suicide so quickly."

Since it was suicide, can we leave now? I still want to go to the hospital with Junyan to see how the bride is doing.

"No! You can't leave yet," Inspector Megure roared.

The murderer has already confessed!

If it weren't for its strong connection to Shoichi, why would Chosokabe be so eager to say that Sayuri committed suicide?

Masaya glanced at Inspector Megure, then gently nudged him.

Conan, who was hiding behind the sofa, had originally aimed at Sonoko, intending to shoot her with a tranquilizer dart, but Inspector Megure suddenly appeared, and the tranquilizer dart shot straight into Inspector Megure.
