Solving cases with Detective Conan's science? No, I'm a cultivator!

"Shiho, and Akemi, you..."

Before Mary Akai could finish speaking, Shiho Miyano interrupted her, "Aunt, I know what you want to say, but this is my own choice, and I will never regret it."

She just wanted to cut the Gordian knot and let Akai Mary know her stance to avoid any unpleasantness.

After all, their aunt was concerned about them.

Akemi Miyano took Shiho Miyano's hand, looked at Mary Akai, and said, "Auntie, I'm the same as Shiho."

Hearing both women say this, Mary Akai could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

Since both sisters acted voluntarily and there were no conflicts as a result, what else could she say?

Mary Akai nodded and joked, "If that Kitagawa brat bullies you, tell your aunt, and your aunt will teach him a lesson for you."

If Kitagawa Taki were here, he would probably be secretly complaining that Akai Mary was being bullied by him so badly.

Akemi Miyano laughed and said, "Taki-kun wouldn't do that."

……

the other side.

Mouri Detective Agency.

Kitagawa Taki opened the door but didn't see Ran.

Only Kogoro Mouri and a strange woman were in the office.

"Brother Kitagawa, you've come at the perfect time! Come and sit down!"

Upon seeing that it was Kitagawa Taki, Kogoro Mouri greeted him warmly.

"This is Ms. Ryoko Inoue from Nichiri TV," Kogoro Mouri introduced the unfamiliar woman sitting opposite Taki Kitagawa.

Kogoro Mouri then introduced Ryoko Inoue: "This is the famous exorcist detective, Taki Kitagawa."

Ryoko Inoue's eyes lit up, and she took the initiative to shake hands with Taki Kitagawa, "So it's Mr. Kitagawa!"

She had certainly heard of Kitagawa Taki, but she considered that Mouri Kogoro had been in the industry for many years and was more experienced.

Another reason is that Kogoro Mouri is cheaper, which is why I chose him.

Kitagawa Taki laughed and said, "Brother Mori, you flatter me too much. In terms of fame, I'm definitely no match for you."

Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily; Kitagawa Taki was right up his alley.

He's rich and has a nice way of speaking, isn't he much better than that arrogant detective kid?

Then, Kitagawa Taki asked, "Does Ms. Inoue have any requests?"

Ryoko Inoue, however, kept everyone in suspense and asked instead, "Have either of you read 'Detective Magure'?"

Kogoro Mouri leaned back on the sofa, grinned, and said, "Is it that detective drama? I've watched it a few times."

Kitagawa Taki replied, "I do watch it quite often."

This show is barely watchable. The reason I say barely watchable is because there are too many poorly made episodes that drag down the overall quality.

One of the cases was quite good, very innovative, with a wildly imaginative murder method.

It's obvious that this wasn't written by the same screenwriter as the other cases.

Ryoko Inoue nodded and said, "Although this drama had three screenwriters taking turns writing the script, it has been airing for five years now, and the story and techniques have been used up quite a bit."

Kogoro Mouri looked enlightened and said with a hint of smugness, "So, Ms. Inoue, you want to refer to my many case-solving experiences, right?"

Kitagawa Taki thought to himself, "Inoue Ryoko has indeed found the right person. After all, Kogoro Mouri's caseload in half a year is enough for this drama to continue for another ten or twenty years."

“That’s right, I hope Mr. Mori can have a good talk with our screenwriter.” Ryoko Inoue, being very knowledgeable, said, “We’ll definitely make sure Mr. Mori is satisfied with the compensation!”

Kogoro Mouri coughed twice, straightened his tie, and said with a serious expression, "I will share this with those screenwriters."

Then, he looked at Kitagawa Taki and said, "Brother Kitagawa, you must be here to see Ran, right?"

"However, she went to a karate training camp at the last minute."

"I see." Kitagawa Taki nodded, knowing that Kogoro Mouri would definitely have more to say.

As expected, Kogoro Mouri continued, "Brother Kitagawa, if you have time, how about coming with me?"

“Okay.” Kitagawa Taki readily agreed; he also wanted to meet the screenwriter.

Of course, the happiest person was Inoue Ryoko. She had hired two great detectives for the price of one, which was a pleasant surprise.

She wouldn't be so happy if she knew she had invited death back with her.

If Ryoko Inoue and the three screenwriters were to die, wouldn't it be a three-way choice?

Ryoko Inoue said, "Alright, I'll go back to the TV station to make arrangements first, and I'll contact you both in a bit."

……

Nichiri TV.

As soon as Kitagawa Taki and Mouri Kogoro stepped into the television station building, Mouri Kogoro received another call from Inoue Ryoko.

One of the three screenwriters, Yagami Joji, is dead!

Kitagawa Taki glanced at Kogoro Mouri. Good grief, he unleashed his power a bit too early this time. He was gone before he even saw him.

The two immediately rushed to the meeting room where the incident had occurred.

In the conference room.

Ryoko Inoue and two other screenwriters stood to the side, while Joji Yagami lay on the ground.

There was a coffee stain on the table and the floor.

Kogoro Mori crouched down and examined him for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "He has probably been poisoned by some kind of cyanide."

"Ah!" Inoue Ryoko exclaimed.

Kogoro Mouri looked at the coffee cup on the ground and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the poison in this coffee."

Ryoko Inoue nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Yagami collapsed immediately after drinking coffee."

Kitagawa Taki asked, "Who made the coffee?"

“It’s me,” a young man stepped forward.

Ryoko Inoue introduced, "This is one of our screenwriters, Morio Koda."

Kitagawa Taki raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. Shouldn't making coffee be the assistant's job? Why was the screenwriter asked to do it?

Looking at the other two screenwriters, it's not hard to guess that Morio Koda is the one who wrote the case that was of good quality.

But ironically, he had the fewest cases.

Kitagawa Taki had already imagined a scenario in his mind: a young newcomer being suppressed, and in a fit of anger, killing his senior.

Chapter 441 Trick

The police arrived at the scene shortly afterward.

The person leading the team was not Inspector Megure, but Yui Uehara.

According to her, Inspector Megure and the others were all busy with cases and couldn't spare the time.

Kitagawa Taki couldn't help but sigh, Beika Town was truly a "paradise on earth," such a small place with an endless stream of cases.

After testing by the forensic department, only the drink in the cup belonging to Yagami Joji was found to be poisoned.

Uehara Yui looked at Koda Morio with a suspicious gaze: "Mr. Koda Morio, you were the one who prepared the drinks, weren't you?"

Logically speaking, he is the most suspicious one.

And he's the most handsome.

"Yes, as is customary, the other three had hot coffee, while I had tea."

Morio Koda appears to be harmless.

Yui Uehara narrowed her eyes and asked, "But these kinds of things are usually done by TV station assistants, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Inoue Ryoko stammered, as if there was something else going on.

"I'm just a rookie, so whatever I can do to help, I'll do it," Koda explained.

He looked at the group and asked, "Is it strange?"

Uehara Yui said, "No."

But she practically wore her suspicion on her face.

Koda Morio added, "By the way, I think it must be one of the cups in the tea room. One of them was poisoned, and it just so happened that Mr. Yagami used it."

Kitagawa Taki shook his head inwardly. The young man was bound to make a mistake by talking too much!

Uehara Yui said, "If that's the case, wouldn't that be random killing?"

Clearly, she couldn't accept this explanation. After all, if it were really about randomly poisoning someone, it's highly unlikely that only one cup would be smeared.

Just then, a police officer outside pushed the door open and came in. "Officer Uehara, excuse me."

Yui Uehara left the conference room with the police officers, followed closely by Taki Kitagawa and Kogoro Mouri.

The officer said in a low voice, "Officer Uehara, according to the assistant, she wanted to prepare drinks, but Mr. Koda refused."

Yui Uehara pinched her chin and said, "Go and invite Ms. Inoue out."

Then, looking completely bewildered, Ryoko Inoue followed the others to another small conference room.

After briefly explaining the current situation, Uehara Yui said in a deep voice, "Ms. Inoue, judging from the current situation, Mr. Koda Morio is the most likely person to have poisoned the body."

Kogoro Mouri agreed, saying, "To say it's a random killing is really a stretch."

Uehara Yui stared at Inoue Ryoko: "So, can you provide any clues?"

After a moment of silence, Inoue Ryoko said, "In fact, the creation of Detective Mamur was initially taken turns by Mr. Yagami and Mr. Sakuma.

Mr. Koda approached me with a draft script as a loyal fan of the series. After reading it, I found the story fascinating, and after collaborating with him several times, I invited him to officially become the screenwriter.

Mr. Sakuma has always praised him highly, but Mr. Yagami hates him very much. Mr. Yagami has asked me to kick Mr. Koda out many times. "

Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up; here comes the motive!
