Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

He finally smiled to ease his embarrassment.

It was a minor incident, but since we were at the scene of a murder, the matter was quickly resolved.

Inspector Megure has found the person who came to see the show with the deceased.

He asked, "I would like to ask, did Mr. Urata buy the beverage himself?"

Noda Romi replied, "No, he didn't sell it."

Another girl said, "I bought it."

Zhiyong already knew about this girl from the introduction; her name was Hongshang Wuyi.

There were four of them in total.

Besides the deceased Kohei Urata, there were also three other people: Romi Noda, Mai Kougami, and Yota Mitani.

All four of them were graduates of Teitan High School and members of the drama club.

They both chose the same medical school in college, and after graduation, they both went on to work at Mikasa General Hospital.

The four of them have a relatively good relationship.

After finishing her sentence, Kou Shangwu pointed to a beverage stall not far away and continued, "I went to that beverage stall and bought four drinks. Urata and I drank iced coffee, Noda drank orange juice, and Mitani drank oolong tea. After buying the drinks, I returned to my seat because the show was about to start, and I was in a hurry to go to the restroom, so I handed the drinks to Mitani, right?"

Yota Mitani nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly it."

Inspector Megure then asked, "Mr. Mitani, did you hand the drink to Mr. Urata?"

Yota Mitani shook his head and said, "No, Noda was sitting between Urata and me, so I handed Urata's drink to Noda first, and then Noda handed the drink to Urata."

Noda Romi also said, "That's right. Although I handed the iced coffee to Urata, it was Mitani who chose one of the two iced coffees and gave it to me."

Takagi asked, "So what is the relationship between the four of you?"

Mai Kou replied, "We graduated from Teitan High School and now work at the same hospital, so we have a good relationship. We were both members of the drama club at Teitan High School, so every year at the school festival, we would go to see the drama club's performance together."

Yota Mitani said with some sadness, "I just never expected something like this to happen in Urata. It's really unexpected."

Noda Romi also said, "During this period, Urata was overjoyed that his theories had gained recognition from everyone."

Hong Shangwu nodded and said, "That's right."

Mori asked, "Miss Mai, why were you the only one buying the drinks? It's not easy for one person to carry four drinks at once."

Hong Shangwu replied, "Because there were too many people at the time, I told them to go and reserve a spot first, so that they wouldn't miss out on a good one. Urata even came to the beverage stand, saying he would come to help me, but for some reason, his face suddenly turned pale and he hurriedly left."

Inspector Megure asked in confusion, "Your face is turning pale?"

Mori asked, "Has something happened?"

at this time.

A girl wearing glasses walked over.

She said, "I think he must have seen me standing at the counter selling drinks, which is why he left in such a hurry."

Noda Romi, upon seeing the girl, exclaimed in surprise, "It's Ayako! So you're also a student at Teitan High School!"

Hong Shangwu also said, "No wonder, when I was buying drinks earlier, I said I felt like I'd seen you somewhere before."

Inspector Megure asked, "Do you all know each other?"

Noda Romi replied, "This is Ninagawa Ayako, she is our director's daughter."

Mori asked, "So, you were the one who poured drinks for the four of them just now?"

Ayako Ninagawa nodded and said, "Yes, that's absolutely right."

Heiji smiled and said, "In that case, all the suspects are here."

Hong Shangwu said loudly, "How is that possible? If I had poisoned him, I would have had to give him the iced coffee to avoid being poisoned myself."

Inspector Megure replied, "But you could poison both iced coffees, as long as you don't drink them."

Hong Shangwu replied, "But I've already finished my iced coffee."

Mori replied, "You can pour the iced coffee in the toilet."

Hong Shangwu said angrily, "I already said that I gave the drink to Mitani first before I went to the restroom. After I came back from the restroom, I haven't left my seat."

Yota Mitani also said, "I was just distributing the drinks that were given to me to everyone. It was only for a short while. Urata and Noda were sitting next to me watching. I didn't have the time or opportunity to poison them."

Noda Romi also said, "I don't have that opportunity either."

……

Chapter 559 You're the Murderer

Regarding what the three people said.

Inspector Megure neither confirmed nor denied it.

After all, anyone could be the murderer until the real culprit is found.

He then asked, "Mr. Mitani, since you're in charge of distributing drinks, you should at least open the lid and confirm what kind of drink it is, right?"

Yota Mitani replied, "Even without opening it, I still know what's in the cup, because it's written on the lid."

Noda Romi also said, "Furthermore, if you order iced coffee, there will be milk crystals and sugar on the lid."

Mori replied, "But it's possible that you had already prepared poisoned milk crystals and sugar beforehand. You could have simply switched the milk crystals and sugar before handing the drink to him."

Noda Romi replied, "Then he should have been poisoned after taking a sip of the iced coffee. Isn't potassium cyanide a fast-acting poison? But Dr. Urata drank the whole cup of his beverage."

After hearing what Noda Romi said, Mori was speechless.

Every time Mori is at a crime scene, he likes to make wild and imaginative deductions, only to be proven wrong time and time again.

After all the clues have been collected.

Finally, Conan used his identity to end the story.

Heiji said, "Although I still don't know how the murderer poisoned Mr. Urata and caused his death, there is one thing I am certain of: the murderer is among you four suspects."

After hearing what Heiji said.

This made all four of them very angry.

However, they could not object to this point.

Takagi then said, "Inspector Megure, we found some unused milk crystals and sugar in Mr. Urata's pocket."

Inspector Megure asked in confusion, "You still don't have any milk crystals or sugar? What's going on?"

Heiji asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Urata, do you usually drink black coffee?"

Noda Romi shook her head and said, "No, I remember he usually adds milk and sugar to his coffee."

Yota Mitani nodded and said, "Yes, he does add both."

Mori asked in confusion, "But why did he leave both of them?"

Zhiyong replied, "Because his drink doesn't need to have those two things added to it."

Mori asked, puzzled, "No need to add it? Why? Has it already been added?"

Zhiyong replied, "Miss Wuyi, you should know, right?"

Hong Shangwu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because..."

Ayako Ninagawa quickly added, "Because it's not iced coffee in the cup, it's cola."

They all asked in surprise, "Why?"

Ayako Ninagawa continued, "I was thinking that this way, he would come to me, change his Coke to iced coffee, and maybe he would ask me why I broke off our engagement in the first place."

Inspector Megure asked in surprise, "You mean the engagement?"

Ayako Ninagawa nodded and said, "That's right. I was planning to marry him right after graduation, but for some reason, I suddenly became very uneasy. So, last week, I called and refused the marriage proposal. Since then, I haven't been able to see him when I go to the hospital."

Hong Shangwu said, "That explains why. My cup was also cola, and I almost added milk and sugar in as well."

As she spoke, she took out the milk and candy from her pocket.

Inspector Megure ordered, "First, have all four of their cups tested, and then we'll continue."

"Yes."

at this time.

Heiji asked, "Chiyu, how do you know that Mr. Urata's drink doesn't need milk or sugar?"

Zhiyong smiled and said, "Is it that difficult? Because my sense of smell is good, I could smell the cola in the deceased's cup just now. At first, I was a little confused, but when I saw the milk and sugar in the deceased's drink, and that neither of them were effective, I realized that what I smelled earlier was correct."

Heiji exclaimed in surprise, "Your sense of smell is that good?"

Zhiyong shrugged and said, "Of course, and Inspector Megure, even if you had someone do the analysis, I don't think you would find any toxic reaction in the four cups."

Inspector Megure asked in confusion, "No signs of poisoning?"

Mori said, "That's also possible, because maybe the deceased committed suicide. After all, being dumped by a girl ten years younger than him must have made him feel terrible."

Inspector Megure whispered, "You mean, Mr. Urata committed suicide, and his ex-fiancée was also at the scene. He committed suicide here, and his fiancée will be suspected by the police."

Hong Shang Wuyi spoke up: "When we came here today, Dr. Urata was looking for something, wasn't he?"

Yota Mitani nodded and said, "Yes, I heard him say that he didn't know where he put his driver's license."

Inspector Megure asked, "Did you remember something?"

Noda Romi shook her head and said, "No, it's just that we all came here in Dr. Urata's car today, and we all felt that his expression was a little strange."

Hong Shangwu also said, "Yes, he seemed to be looking for something in the car all day."

Inspector Megure said, "Takagi, have them take you to Mr. Urata's car. Look around and see if you can find anything or any clues."

"Yes."

Takagi was about to leave with his men.

Zhiyong said, "Actually, there's no need to go through all that trouble. I already know who the murderer is."

After hearing what Zhiyong said.

This surprised everyone.
