The world of science is unscientific

Why didn't he know?

Fortunately, Mu Shuli came out again after a short while.

"Miss Mu, here, have some chocolate."

Sitting behind Conan, Masayo Yaguchi went over to greet him and opened the box of chocolates in her hand.

Is eating chocolate at this time a habit?

Conan was observing and analyzing when Kogoro Mouri, who was sitting next to Maki, also took one and ate it.

The uncle really doesn't refuse anyone.

Just after sighing, Mu Shuli's expression suddenly turned terrified, and she clutched her throat, making a painful sound.

This!

Conan quickly ran over.

However, after a struggle, Mushuli lost its life.

It took no more than half a minute.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, but it was Kogoro Mouri, the veteran actor, who was the most experienced.

He reacted quickly, blocking the crowd that wanted to approach, and reached out to check his pulse, then shook his head helplessly.

"Uncle, it tastes like almonds."

Conan, who was also squatting next to the corpse, offered a reminder.

"Yes, cyanide poisoning."

No sooner had the bumbling detective uttered his words than Mr. Ban Heng, the director of the play "Josephine," pointed out, "It must be chocolate!"

"The chocolate must have been poisoned!"

Kogoro Mouri's expression immediately fell apart.

After admiring the look of confusion on his teacher's face, Yusuke Suzuki stepped forward to reassure him, "Teacher, don't worry. If what you ate was also poisoned, you would be lying on the ground right now."

“What are you saying?” The muddle-headed detective regained his composure and straightened his tie. “Yusuke, let’s deal with the body together.”

Since airplanes don't have morgues, the master and apprentice had no choice but to find a window seat to settle Mu Shuli's body.

The bumbling detective instructed the others not to spread the news to avoid causing panic, while Suzuki Yusuke took a small blanket and covered the body with it.

The flight itself wouldn't produce any stench of corpses, but the subsequent flight experience for those traveling with the crew wouldn't be very pleasant either.

Now comes the problem.

How and where did the murderer poison the victim?

Cyanide-based toxins are odorless; they only emit an almond-like odor when in contact with water. It is impossible to conduct toxin detection under the conditions on an airplane.

We can't expect everyone to try them one by one.

Considering the need to preserve the scene, everyone could only frantically wash their hands.

It's alright, as long as there's no contact with Maki Juri herself or those around her, there shouldn't be any problems.

Yusuke Suzuki rarely stepped forward to give a speech, saying, "Everyone, from now on, you must be careful about what you put in your mouth. Also, if you feel any slight discomfort, please speak up. Cyanide toxins can also have an effect when they come into contact with your skin."

He has already been in contact with the corpse and needs to keep his distance from Ai Haibara.

As for where the poison was placed, he already had some clues.

After eating the chocolate, Maki licked her fingers. To be precise, she developed symptoms of poisoning after licking her fingers.

Cyanide poisons take effect very quickly, and the time it takes for chocolate to melt in your mouth is enough for it to take effect.

Moreover, before eating, Mu Shuli hesitated for a moment before randomly selecting food.

Poisoning someone is not a gamble.

Following this line of thought, we need to consider what places the deceased's hands touched.

The person went to the toilet before dying, but still came out poisoned.

Normally, women wouldn't leave their hands unwashed after using the toilet.

Yusuke Suzuki thought to himself, then walked back to the corpse and held its hands to feel them.

There was no dampness. From the time I left the toilet until I came out, it wasn't long, and it was impossible to completely dry my hands with a towel or clothes.

Using a dryer can leave a dry, slippery feeling on the skin.

None of these traits were reflected in Mu Shuli's hands.

Therefore, she did not wash her hands before entering the restroom.

If we push back, that means you didn't go to the toilet.

Yusuke Suzuki looked back at Ai Haibara, then at Kogoro Mouri.

So that’s what happened.

Chapter 486 Then Fight

Yusuke Suzuki has figured it out, but the others haven't.

Everyone was a little confused when they saw him suddenly grab the corpse's hand again.

Fortunately, he wasn't Conan, so Kogoro Mouri and the others weren't too worried.

"Yusuke, what's going on?"

When asked by his teacher, Yusuke Suzuki made no attempt to hide anything.

He put down the corpse's hand, took a few steps back, and said, "Teacher, I noticed that Miss Juri's hands showed no signs of being washed."

Kogoro Mouri paused for a moment, "So..."

“So it’s highly likely that Miss Juri was poisoned through her finger,” Eri Kisaki chimed in. “Is that right, Yusuke?”

She crossed her arms and unconsciously adopted the imposing demeanor she usually displayed in court. "I remember that Ms. Juri licked her fingers after eating the chocolate."

As she spoke, she glanced at the bumbling detective again, "If the chocolate was poisoned, this old man should be poisoned by now."

Conan, listening from the side, nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's right. And if you want to verify whether that box of chocolates has been poisoned, there's a very simple way. Just pour some water into it. If it smells like almonds, it proves that it has been poisoned."

He was somewhat smug, "because I'm certain that Ms. Juri's fingers didn't touch any other part of the box at the time."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kogoro Mouri delivered a powerful punch to Conan's head.

"Who gives you the right to speak here, you brat!"

The bumbling detective withdrew his hand after only throwing one punch.

If it were just Yusuke Suzuki making this reasoning and analysis, I could accept it.

As it turned out, not only did that annoying old woman understand his disciple's meaning before he did, but even Conan joined in the fun.

Then hit!

Honestly, the kid should just stay quietly to the side.

It's made him seem a bit incompetent now.

After a moment of internal thought, he ignored Conan's displeased expression and looked at his disciple.

"Yusuke, if you have any ideas, just say them out loud."

Kogoro Mouri straightened his tie. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things for you. Even if you say something wrong, it's okay. A detective always grows through trial and error."

These words resonated deeply with the actors, conveying the air of a mentor.

However, things changed when Ran Mouri and her group, whom they knew well, were replaced.

Everyone, including the three little ones, watched the bumbling detective with wide eyes.

Kaito Kuroba, who had been watching the whole thing, was practically laughing his head off.

So this is how Yusuke usually gets treated outside. I really don't understand what he's after by having such a teacher.

As for Yusuke Suzuki, who was involved, he had nothing to say.

That's just how our own teachers are.

Could he possibly stab the bumbling detective?

It's not worth it for such a small thing.

After clearing his throat, Yusuke Suzuki roughly explained his reasoning.

Finally, he emphasized again, "Teacher, I am not a detective."

"What does it matter?" Kogoro Mouri waved his hand. "What you said makes a lot of sense, but the most crucial thing you haven't said is who the murderer is, and where exactly the murderer put the poison?"

"cosmetic."

Yusuke Suzuki said slowly, "Teacher, you were sitting right next to the deceased. Given your personality, you should have secretly observed the deceased carefully."

"In that case, you must have noticed that she had some symptoms of discomfort before she died."

Finished saying this.

Ran Mouri blushed immediately, feeling a little embarrassed.

Eri Kisaki looked displeased. "You old geezer."

Kogoro Mouri was instantly embarrassed and retorted, "Yusuke! What do you mean by 'with my personality'?!"

"Besides, she said she felt a little unwell when the plane took off, so why did I need to observe her? I remember that at that time, Ms. Sawaguchi even gave Ms. Juri some Vitamin C."

So there were clues all along?

Yusuke Suzuki recalled that he seemed to be mentally simulating a flight test at that time...

"In short, the poison was in the cosmetics..."

"Hey! What do you mean by this!?"

Before she could finish speaking, Sakai Natsuki stood up, her face showing anger. "So, you're implying that I, Ms. Juri's personal makeup artist, am the murderer?"

Yusuke Suzuki nodded sincerely, "That's right."
