Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Regarding the questions asked by Inspector Megure.

Noda Romi thought for a moment before saying, "The program started around 2 o'clock, as for when she collapsed, well..."

While she was guessing.

Xiao Lan said from the side, "He should have collapsed around 2:40."

Inspector Megure asked suspiciously, "Ran, how did you know?"

Xiaolan replied, "Because I hear screams, that's the most exciting part of the show, right, Doctor?"

He turned back and asked the person wearing the mask.

Inspector Megure then asked, "Brother Mori, no one touched the scene just now, right?"

Mori nodded and said, "Inspector Megure, please rest assured on that point. Preserving the integrity of the scene is the most basic work of the investigation. Before the coroner approached, apart from me confirming that the deceased was dead, no one else approached."

Inspector Megure nodded.

Although he always believed that the Maori were plague gods who would bring disaster wherever they went.

This time, he brought the disaster to his daughter's school, making Inspector Megure want to complain about him.

But I can only complain in my heart.

He would still believe what Mori said.

Takagi asked, "Has the cause of death of the victim been determined?"

The coroner looked at the record in his hand and said, "Based on the victim's symptoms, this should be..."

"Potassium cyanide poisoning, right?"

A man's voice, of a certain age, came from behind them.

The young man walked to the body, squatted down beside it, and said, "I think he probably died from potassium cyanide poisoning."

Because the young man was wearing a hat and squatting on the ground, none of the people recognized him.

Of course, besides wisdom and courage.

Inspector Megure turned to Mori and shouted, "Hey, didn't you say that no one had ever touched the body? What's going on here?"

Mori also said with doubt, "That should be the case."

The young man said dismissively, "Please, even if I don't look at the corpse, just by looking at its condition from a distance, I already know what happened."

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpse and said, "Normally, people lose their color after death, but this guy's lips and nails are not purple, but pink. This is evidence of potassium cyanide poisoning."

Zhi Yong chimed in, "That's right. What makes potassium cyanide different from other poisons is that after ingestion, the electron presentation process in the cells begins to work. It can circulate throughout the body without using oxygen from the blood. As a result, the deceased's complexion will actually improve."

The young man also said, "If we can detect an almond flavor in the deceased's mouth in a while, it will prove that the deceased was poisoned by potassium cyanide."

Inspector Megure hurriedly asked, "Is that how it is, coroner?"

The coroner nodded and said, "Yes, just as this young man said, I also deduce that the victim must have ingested potassium cyanide, which is why he died of poisoning."

Mori asked suspiciously, "How do you know so much about these things? Were you sitting next to Mr. Urata when the incident happened?"

The young man said, "Although Mr. Urata and I are in the same row, there are many people between us, and there is an aisle. In particular, the seats of the three of you, Mr. Mori, are also between me and the deceased."

Inspector Megure asked, "Mouri, is that so?"

Mori hesitated and said, "Well, I was watching a play at the time, so I didn't notice who was sitting next to me."

Inspector Megure then asked, "Is there anyone who can corroborate what you've said?"

The young man pointed at Zhiyong and said, "I was sitting right next to him, you didn't notice, did you?"

Zhiyong pretended to think for a moment and said, "I don't seem to remember clearly."

Mori immediately pointed at the young man and said, "Then you're lying."

The young man looked at Zhiyong with a sullen expression.

Zhiyong suddenly slapped his forehead before saying, "I remember now. He was indeed sitting next to me, but I was watching the show so intently that I didn't remember him at the time."

Mori asked in confusion, "But I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

Inspector Megure also asked, "Who exactly is it?"

The young man smiled and said, "Please, how could you forget about me? It's been so long since I came back. You guys are really heartless."

After saying that.

He then took off his hat, revealing his true face.

Then he said, "I am Shinichi Kudo."

When they saw who it was, everyone was quite surprised.

After all, Shinichi Kudo hasn't been back to school for quite some time.

Shinichi Kudo walked up to Ran and said, "Conan called and asked me to come see Ran's performance."

Seeing his arrogance made Zhiyong very unhappy.

Xiaolan looked at the other person and said, "But you're not... you can't be...."

Kazuha walked over and stood in front of Ran, saying, "What are you doing, Heiji?"

Upon seeing Kazuha, Shinichi Kudo took two steps back in surprise.

Kazuha stepped forward again and said, "You've put on so much foundation and your hairstyle has changed. Do you have a show to do too?"

Heiji hurriedly explained, "Look carefully, I'm not Hattori Heiji, I'm Kudo Shinichi."

Zhiyong complained, "Hey Heiji, you've already lost a bit of your foundation, and your dark face is showing. Stop pretending to be Shinichi Kudo. But this show where you're dressed up as Shinichi Kudo is quite interesting."

Mori yelled at Heiji, "You brat, what kind of ridiculous joke are you telling?"

Heiji hurriedly said embarrassedly, "That's right, that's right, I was pretending to be Shinichi Kudo to give everyone a surprise, but I didn't expect you to see through it so easily."

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped off all the foundation from his face.

Zhiyong smiled.

In fact, Zhiyong had already noticed him when he arrived, but he pretended not to see it.

He just wanted to see Heiji make a fool of himself.

Of course, this wasn't for any evil purpose; I just wanted to see a joke.

Anyway, he's already made all the arrangements.

The real Shinichi Kudo has also arrived.

Therefore, it will not cause any problems.

Consider this a little interlude at the school festival, a program to make everyone laugh.

Actually, this is when Shinichi Kudo appeared.

The real Shinichi Kudo was startled; he thought this was the organization impersonating him.

……

Chapter 558 It turns out it was Heiji

This does not mean that Shinichi Kudo lacks observational skills.

The appearance of Shinichi Kudo surprised him greatly and made him think of the worst possible outcome, which is why he didn't notice him.

The problem is with this fake Shinichi Kudo.

Shinichi Kudo only breathed a sigh of relief after Kazuha exposed Heiji's disguise.

At the same time, I am also very grateful to Heiji.

Because after he was injured.

When Heiji came to see him from Osaka, Conan told him that Ran had already become suspicious of him.

In order to avoid arousing Xiaolan's suspicion.

That's why he impersonated Shinichi Kudo.

This way, showing up in front of Ran will reduce Conan's troubles.

But Conan didn't come.

If it were Conan.

The two sat together, which would further reduce Xiaolan's suspicions.

Actually, perhaps it was just the author being lazy.

Heiji and Shinichi are indeed very similar, except that Heiji's skin is a bit darker.

This time.

Heiji used his mother's foundation to turn himself into a pretty boy.

It's just that Kazuha is too familiar with Heiji.

Therefore, she could tell as soon as Heiji appeared.

Originally, this was to reduce this trouble.

Heiji had actually discussed with Kazuha that they wouldn't come to the Teitan High School festival, but Kazuha still came anyway.

This meant his plan ended before it even began.

Of course, the others were unaware of Heiji's plan.

Therefore, regarding his appearance.

Mori complained, "Seriously, how can there be someone like you?"

Inspector Megure also muttered, "Yeah, we only need that idiot Mori here, why is there another one?"

However, he was very close to Mori, and Mori heard his mutterings.

He saw Mori and glared at him.

Inspector Megure quickly said, "No, I was just joking, just joking, haha."
