The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 266 Choose 4 from 1?

"To be honest, it was you who helped Kouhei choose the iced coffee!"

Noda Yumemi heard what Mitani Yota said, which seemed to have a hidden meaning, and immediately responded with dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Mitani Yota started to panic again.

"Well, even if I chose you, you were the last one to hand it over!"

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Bai Masong interrupted them.

"Alright, you two."

"There's no need to argue. We, the police, will not convict one person just because one of you makes more sense."

"Just say what needs to be said."

Bai Masong's calm voice made the two of them feel a lot more relaxed.

However, they will not completely believe it.

After all, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is well-known throughout the entire island country, but it is notoriously confused.

When it comes to themselves, no one dares to be careless.

"Cough cough,"

Officer Megure coughed twice and changed the subject.

"Excuse me, what is the relationship between the deceased Mr. Urata Kohei and you three?"

Hearing Inspector Megure's question, Hong Shang Mai, who had not joined the argument, took the lead and said,

"Actually, we both graduated from this high school, and we were both members of the drama club before. Now we just happen to be working together."

"So, it's become an annual tradition for the four of us to come back together to watch our alma mater's campus festival."

"yes,"

Mitani Yota sighed.

"Every year, the four of us come together, but I never expected something like this to happen in Kouhei this year. It's really heartbreaking."

"well,"

Noda Yumemi also sighed.

"Kohei was recently happy that his theory was accepted by everyone, but he didn't expect that..."

theory?

Baimasong heard this word and had a vague feeling that perhaps this was the key.

While Hakuba Matsu was thinking, Maori Kogoro asked Hong Shang Mai,

"Ms. Mai, may I ask why you were the only one who went to buy drinks?"

"Don't you think it's too hard for you to hold four drinks by yourself?"

Listening to Maori Kogoro's question, Hong Shang Mai seemed a little nervous, holding the corners of her clothes with both hands, but she said,

"Well, there were a lot of people there, so I suggested that I go buy the drinks by myself."

"That way, they can go and grab a good spot first."

“Like this.”

There was obvious suspicion on the faces of Kogoro Mouri and Inspector Megure.

However, they heard Hong Shang Wuyi say,

"In fact, when I was waiting in line, Kohei came over and offered to help me carry it. After all, it's not convenient for me to carry it alone."

"However, after he came over, he seemed to have seen something, and his face looked bad. He even walked away with a green face."

After Hong Shang Mai finished speaking, Mitani Yota and Noda Yumemi also echoed,

"Yes, yes, Kouhei did go there at that time, but he came back with a bad look on his face."

Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori frowned.

"You look blue, is there something wrong?"

They were even wondering whether Urata Kohei had already been slightly poisoned at this time.

But that shouldn't be the case. Cyanide is a deadly poison. It's impossible for someone to be poisoned an hour before death and still live an hour.

At this time, Hattori Heiji, who liked to compare answers with others, also came to Bai Basong's side.

"Brother Song, do you think that Urata Kohei's appearance is not good? Is it related to his poisoning?"

Listening to Hattori Heiji's words, Hakuba Matsu glanced at him.

"Do you think that's possible?"

"Uh, haha, I guess it's not very relevant."

Hattori Heiji scratched his head, then looked at Hong Shang Mai, Mitani Youta, and Noda Yumemi, and asked in a low voice,

"Brother Song, who do you think is most likely among the three of them..."

Just when Hattori Heiji was thinking about asking more questions, a short-haired girl wearing the uniform of Teitan High School came over.

"I think he must have seen me buying a drink at the counter."

The girl said this, and although it was a question, it was extremely certain.

Seeing the girl coming over, Maori Kogoro and Inspector Megure wanted to ask who she was, but Noda Yumemi recognized her immediately.

"It's Ayako, so you're also a student at Teitan High School."

"Oh, it's really you. No wonder I felt like I've seen you somewhere before."

Hong Shang Mai also looked like she suddenly remembered something.

Inspector Megure was surprised.

"So you all know each other."

"Yes,"

Noda Yumemi nodded.

"This is the only daughter of our hospital director, Ayako Ninagawa."

"Well, come to think of it, the one who added more juice to Mr. Urata Kohei's drink was..."

Kogoro Mori looked at Ayako Ninagawa and said.

"Yes, that's me."

Ayako Ninagawa admitted it directly.

"It looks like all the suspects are here now."

Hattori Heiji smiled.

"I thought there would be three, but now it looks like four is a possibility."

"What, what are you talking about!"

Mitani Yota was the first to voice his dissatisfaction.

"I, I just passed the drink over, why am I also a suspect?"

"That's what I mean."

Noda Yumemi also said,

"I, even though I handed the drink directly to Kouhei, I had no reason to poison him!"

And Mai Hongjo, who had no direct contact with Urata Kohei from beginning to end, felt even more wronged.

"I, I ordered the same iced coffee as Kouhei. If I poisoned it, wouldn't I end up poisoning myself by accident?!"

Faced with the crazy resistance of the three people, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori both felt very overwhelmed.

They were still cursing Hattori Heiji in their hearts.

You know, generally speaking, in order to prevent the suspects from showing resistance, Inspector Megure and others basically will not directly say things like "you are very suspicious."

In other words, for suspects that have not been completely identified, Inspector Megure still advocates comforting them first.

He is not like Hattori Heiji, who directly provokes the suspect's emotions from the beginning.

The police were in a state of panic.

However, I believe that Inspector Megure, Kogoro Mori and Hakuba Matsu don't think there is anything wrong with this.

On the contrary, this direct detonation method can also be used to observe whether there is anything wrong with the suspect's behavior and expression.

Moreover, what Hattori Heiji said was right, the murderer this time was indeed among these few people, which means that this was a multiple-choice question with one choice among four.

At this time, Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mori began to answer the questions of these suspects one by one.

Well, you could also say it's giving them an explanation.

Let them know why they are suspects so they don't make a big deal out of it.
