Chapter 236 Does this case need Conan?

At this time, Ichikawa Kazushige happened to finish talking to others and saw the butler Toshiaki Imamura standing next to Mouri Kogoro. He came over with some curiosity and asked: "Imamura, who is this gentleman?" I had never seen him before.

Imamura Toshiaki introduced: "Miss, this is a friend of the master, Mr. Mouri Kogoro."

"Please give me some advice, Miss Ichiju," Mouri Kogoro said.

"Hello, I'm my father's friend. You must be embarrassed to have you come to such a party, right?" Ichikawa looked at Kogoro Mouri and said with complete understanding.

These words made Mouri Kogoro a little confused, but there was no such thing as saying bad things about his master in front of his daughter, so Moori Kogoro said with some embarrassment: "No, there is no such thing."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mao Lilan and Conan, who were standing aside, "I came here with my family, and we had a great time here."

At this moment, a female voice with a somewhat rude tone suddenly came from the side, "It's the eldest sister." A man with short brown hair walked towards him, wearing a red hip-hugging short skirt, and a short lake blue long-sleeved shirt.

The woman in the coat looks a bit fierce, with an adulterous look on her face.

Seeing Ichikawa Ichige, the lady said with a hint of sarcasm and vigilance in her tone: "I didn't expect you to come today."

When Ichikawa saw the other person, his whole body was on guard immediately, full of "spikes" as if he was about to fight at any time, and completely lost the elegance and charm he had when talking to Mouri Kogoro before.

"How could I not bear to attend such an occasion? After all, I am the heir of the Ichikawa family." Ichikawa replied looking at his sister Ichikawa Mizue with a half-smiling expression.

"Is that so?" Ichikawa Mizue unceremoniously exposed the other party's current situation, "But I don't think dad meant this. You just quarreled with dad and left the house because you were arbitrary in everything you did."

Seeing that his sister was being rude to him, Ichikawa Kazushige also rudely exposed the other party's background. "You are still talking about me. Isn't it because you don't want to see your father's face that you can't wait to find someone to marry?"

Ichikawa Mizue was obviously not a good-tempered person. Hearing this, he immediately said: "I recently heard that your gallery was sued, right? The reason seems to be that you are selling fakes."

Hearing this, Ichikawa Ichishige looked at Ichikawa Mizue fiercely.

Ichikawa Mizue also stared back without giving in, "Isn't that right?"

The two glared at each other, then snorted at the same time, turned around and left.

What a wonderful show of sisterly love.

Upon seeing this, Mouri Kogoro took out his notebook and wrote down the scene in a very professional manner. At the same time, he muttered in a low voice: "These two people have character problems."

Then Mouri Kogoro stayed in the garden until seven o'clock in the evening. Ichikawa Kotaro came to the venue and went directly to the podium. He first greeted the guests and then announced his plan.

"I would like to thank everyone here for coming here to celebrate my birthday. I have planned to step down from the position of president in the near future, which means I will retire."

As soon as Ichikawa Kotaro said these words, everyone standing below was stunned.

But Ichikawa Kotaro's words were not finished yet, "The next thing I have to do is to sell all the stocks and company operating rights in my name to Asahi Industrial."

At this time, the faces of the cadres of Ichikawa Club changed. Cadre A asked: "President, what should we do in the future?"

Ichikawa Kotaro still had the serious expression on his face and said without any other expression: "After I sell the company, you can show your strength in the other party's business system." The implication is that he has no strength and just eats and eats.

Anyone who dies will be eliminated by the opponent.

As soon as this statement came out, people suddenly became panicked. Another cadre B asked: "After the company is sold, what should we do with the huge assets?"

Ichikawa Kotaro said: "How I deal with this is my freedom. I have no intention of giving the money to anyone here, even my daughter."

As soon as these words came out, both Ichikawa Kazushige and Ichikawa Mizue were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide.

How could he do this!

After that, the birthday party ended in a hurry. Many people's futures were uncertain, so naturally they were not in the mood to stay here...

After Kotaro Ichikawa announced, he turned around and left.

Ichikawa Kazushige and Ichikawa Mizue were eager to know what Ichikawa Kotaro was really thinking, so they quickly followed him.

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro followed him. Maori Lan also followed Maori Kogoro in after searching around for Conan to no avail.

Later, Ichikawa's living room.

Three people, Kotaro Ichikawa, Kazushige Ichikawa, Mizue Ichikawa, Toshiaki Imamura, Okano, and Mori, sat together.

After Ichikawa Kotaro sat down, Ichikawa Mizue smiled deliberately and said: "To be honest, I have absolutely no objection to the decision that dad just made."

Ichikawa Ichishige on the side heard this and was afraid of falling behind his sister, so he quickly expressed his loyalty to Ichikawa Kotaro, "Me too."

Ichikawa Ichijue also presented a bottle of red wine at this time: "To commemorate Dad entering this new stage, I specially brought this bottle of famous wine from the 1957 vintage for you to try. People like Dad who are good at tasting fine wines will taste it.

Only then does it have value."

As Ichikawa spoke, he took the wine out of the box and personally picked up the corkscrew to open the bottle of red wine.

Ichikawa Mizue on the side saw this, with a very unhappy expression on his face.

Naturally, Ichikawa Ichishige saw the expression on Ichikawa Mizuki's face, and deliberately said with insinuation: "If someone who doesn't understand its value drinks, this bottle of wine will be wasted." After saying that, he poured a small glass and handed it to Ichikawa Kotaro.

When Mouri Kogoro saw this scene, he still thought in his heart: "This woman is quite filial."

Ichikawa Kotaro took the red wine glass, shook it under his nose, and then smiled: "Not bad."

Under the watchful eye of Ichikawa Ichijue, Ichikawa Kotaro did not drink it. Instead, as if he suddenly remembered something, he walked to a corner of the room and turned his back to Ichikawa Ichijue.

Then, as if he had a sudden heart attack, he fell down clutching his heart, shocking everyone.

Both Toshiaki Imamura and Okano quickly walked up to Kotaro Ichikawa and gave him first aid.

"Ah...Dad..." Ichikawa Kazushige and Ichikawa Mizue screamed when they saw this.

After Okano Kyun performed first aid for a while, Ichikawa Kotaro still showed no sign of waking up and was no longer breathing.

After he announced that Kotaro Ichikawa was dead, Kogoro Mori stepped forward, took care of the scene, and asked Toshiaki Imamura to call the police.

"That's what happened." After speaking, Kogoro Mouri looked at Megure Police Department and Aoki Song.

Then he asked several people present separately.

Megure Police Department looked at Ichikawa Kazushige and asked: "Then the deceased fell down immediately after drinking, right?"

"Yes." Ichikawa nodded.

But the second daughter Ichikawa Mizue on the side disagreed with this statement and shouted loudly: "My father was killed."

Ichikawa Mizue also had his own reasons: "No matter how bad my father's heart is, there is no way he would die like this just because he drank a small glass of wine! There must be poison in this bottle of wine!"

The red wine was brought by Ichikawa.

"What did you say?" Ichikawa Ichiju looked at Ichikawa Mizuki with angry eyes, "Mizuki, you mean I poisoned you?"

Mizue Ichikawa looked at Ichikawa and said aggressively: "The development of things makes me have to think so."

"Do you have any evidence?" Aoki Song looked at Ichikawa Mizue and asked.

"I think Dr. Okano, he should know my father's body best." Ichikawa Mizue looked at Okano Jun and said.

When Okano Jun heard this, he nodded and continued: "Yes, it is a fact that Mr. Ichikawa has a bad heart, but he will not die of a heart attack because of a glass of red wine. If Mr. Ichikawa cannot drink, I

I will definitely stop him then."

"Look, I was right," Ichikawa Mizue looked at Ichikawa Ichishige and said proudly.

"So, is that why you decided it was me?" Ichikawa Ichijue immediately retorted with the same fierceness after hearing this.

"Two ladies, please don't argue." Aoki Song gave Saito a horse, and Takagi Wataru made a look, motioning for the two of them to go up and separate them.

After the two of them were separated, Aoki Song said with a cold face: "If there is anything wrong with the red wine, we will find out once we take it back to the Metropolitan Police Department for testing."

"I just heard Detective Maori say that the deceased did not intend for you to inherit his inheritance. From this perspective, both of you are suspected of attacking the deceased for the sake of his inheritance. Now I must check your belongings

thing."

"I have no intention of harming my father. There is nothing wrong with me." Ichikawa Mizuki said first.

Seeing this, Ichikawa Ichishige could only nod in agreement.

Of course she didn't agree. Criminals also have the right to search. If she stopped him, Aokimatsu and the others could immediately send Ichikawa Kazushige to the Metropolitan Police Department for a visit.

Soon the two of them brought their fashion bags, and Aoki Song went up to them and opened them one by one, dumping everything inside on the table.

Then, Aoki Song saw something inside Ichikawa's bag at a glance, and there was something very unexpected and conspicuous.

Aoki Song picked it up and opened it - it was a used syringe and an ampoule with a little liquid on it.

When Ichikawa saw this, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"What is this?" Aoki Song called a criminal from the forensics department and asked.

The criminal from the forensics department looked at it and said, "Judging from the label on the ampoule, this seems to be some kind of muscle relaxant."

"Muscle relaxant? What is it used for?" Aoki Song asked curiously.

The forensic officer explained: "Muscle relaxants are over-the-counter analgesic drugs. They are used for various acute and chronic soft tissue sprains, contusions, muscle soreness after exercise, muscle spasms caused by central neuropathy, and chronic fasciitis."

It mainly acts on the central nervous system, inhibiting the polyprocess reflex arc in the spine and subcortical area of ​​the brain, thereby producing muscle relaxation on spastic skeletal muscles and achieving analgesic effect. Not to mention people with heart disease, this kind of thing is

It is also very dangerous when used on healthy people."

Hearing this, Ichikawa knew that he could no longer hide what he had done, so he knelt down on the ground with a snap.

She raised her hands to cover her face and burst into tears: "I, I don't want to kill him either! But I need that money so much, my gallery..."

That’s it?!

Was this case solved so easily?

I don’t know if he was still immersed in the movie version, but Aoki Song felt that this case couldn’t be simpler.

Is it necessary to use the lethal weapon Conan in this kind of case?

Aoki Song frowned slightly when he thought of this. In his impression, there were no such simple cases in Curious Conan.

Even if there is, it should still be impressive!

For example, the case of the stupidest thief.

Aoki Song remembered, well, I don’t know if he was Conan’s classmate or a classmate in the same grade. Anyway, his family ran a restaurant. After a thief stole jewelry, in order to avoid being caught by the police, he hid the jewelry in his house.

Under the floor.

Later, in order to retrieve the jewelry, I deliberately developed a good craftsmanship, and then went to work in his shop. Then the funny thing happened, the jewelry was not retrieved, but because of the good craftsmanship, the business in the store was booming.

So there is no reason why such a simple case would appear in the world of Kexue.

Aoki Song suddenly thought of another classic case - a man was killed three times.

Is it possible...

This case is the same!

Thinking of this, Aoki Song looked at Conan.

There was no joy on Conan's face after the case was solved. Instead, he looked solemnly at Ichikawa Ichishige who was being escorted away.

Seeing Conan's expression, Aoki Song was even more sure of his thoughts. This case was not as simple as it seemed.

At least there is another murderer!

Aoki Song thought for a moment and looked at the criminal in the forensics department and asked: "How long does it take for the muscle relaxant to take effect?"

"Depending on each person's physical condition and the time, it could take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes," the forensic officer replied.

After hearing this, Aoki Song looked at Maori Kogoro and asked: "Uncle Maori, how long did it take for the deceased to fall to the ground after you saw him drink red wine?"

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro said with some embarrassment: "I was looking out the window at the time, so I didn't see when the deceased drank it. I turned around when I heard the sound and saw that the deceased had fallen to the ground.

"

After answering, Kogoro Mouri asked in a cautious voice: "Why, is there a problem with this case?" Could it be that the murderer was not Ichikawa Ichishige.

Aoki Song did not answer Mouri Kogoro's words, but looked at the other people and asked: "Which of you saw the movements of the deceased at that time?"

Imamura Toshiaki, who had been standing at the door, said: "I saw it. At that time, the master was holding a red wine glass, walked to the side cabinet, and then drank the red wine. I saw him raising his head, and then the master covered his chest, and then

Fell down."
