Conan's other self

"Is the show good?"

It was a message from a number marked "Haiyuan".

The words obviously refer to Xiaolan's performance.

However, the above is the result of Feng Yuan's understanding. In fact, there is a typo in it. Fengyuan thought carefully for a while before confirming that it was just a typo, not a strange code.

"Better than expected," Maplehara typed back a message as he squeezed out of the crowd, "The exciting second half has just begun."

"I thought it was over." After a while, the news came again.

If something unexpected hadn't happened, the show would have ended.

After thinking for a while, Fengyuan decided not to be the Riddler, but simply explained the current situation directly.

Haihara Ai replied briefly "Yes".

The conversation ended just like that.

Fengyuan glanced at the brief conversation again, then put away his phone and squeezed back into the crowd.

Conan glanced at Maplehara curiously.

He noticed that Fengyuan squeezed into the crowd and came to Xiaolan's side. He pulled Xiaolan to attract Xiaolan's attention, whispered something to Xiaolan, and then squeezed out of the crowd again and left his sight.

Are you looking for clues?

But there is no need to tell Xiaolan...

You can’t just leave because you’ve seen through the truth and find it uninteresting, leaving the job to yourself…

Conan muttered to himself before returning his attention to the case.

There were four people who came into contact with the deceased's drink, three of whom were employees of Miwa General Hospital, namely Noda Yumei, Kogami Mai, and Mitani Yota.

Another person who has come into contact with drinks is Ninagawa Ayako, who is in charge of selling drinks. She is a third-year student at Teitan High School and the daughter of the director of Miwa General Hospital.

However, Noda Yumei and Mitani Yota just took the drinks from Kogami Mai and were responsible for distributing them. There was no time to poison.

Mai Hongshang, who was responsible for buying drinks, had the best chance of putting poisonous ice cubes into the drinks. However, she ordered the same drink as the deceased. If she poisoned the drink, she would not be able to ensure that it was poisonous because she was not responsible for distributing it. The cup will go to the deceased.

"Police department! Mr. Kamata has unused creamer and saccharin in his bag!" Officer Takagi checked the deceased's clothes and said.

"Unused creamer and saccharin?"

"Because his drink is not iced coffee, but Coke." Said Ninagawa Ayako, "Because I thought he would come to me to change... By the way, I asked why I broke off the engagement at that time."

"Marriage, engagement?"

"I originally planned to get married as soon as I graduated, but I was very uneasy, so I called him to reject him." Ninagawa Ayako continued to explain, "Later, when I went to the hospital, he avoided me..."

"That's right, no wonder my drink is also Coke," Mai Kogami said holding her drink cup, "I almost put saccharin and creamer in it!"

"I'm really sorry..."

"Go and ask the people from the forensics section to take their four drinks, saccharin, and creamer for testing!" Megure Police Department commanded, "We'll wait until the testing is done!"

"yes!"

"Police department, it's obvious now." Uncle Maori leaned close to Memu Police Department and whispered his reasoning, "This is suicide! The deceased was dumped by a girl ten years younger than him. The shock was too great. He wanted to He committed suicide, but he happened to meet her, so he decided to commit suicide in front of her to vent his anger."

"In this way, maybe she can be suspected." The Megure Police Department felt that Brother Maori was right, even though he hadn't fallen asleep yet, "It's really a disgusting murder case..."

"By the way! Wasn't Kamata groping around on the dashboard of the car?" Mai Kogami said as if she heard the conversation between Megure Police Department and Uncle Mouri.

"Well...he said he was looking for a driver's license..." Yota Mitani said.

"We came here by Kamata's car!" Noda Yumei also helped, "He looked weird at that time..."

The deceased looked suspicious before and was still looking for something. He also had a motive for committing suicide...

The truth seemed to have surfaced, and the Megure Police Department quickly ordered Officer Takagi to go to the car with these people to see if they could find any evidence of suicide.

Like a bottle containing poison.

Conan did not follow him secretly, but slipped aside and opened the curtains to look outside.

I don’t know when it started outside, but it was raining lightly. Hongshang Wuyi was obviously wearing a hooded dress, but she didn’t pull the hood up to protect herself from the rain.

there is only one truth.

Koshang Mai deliberately ordered the same drink as the deceased to reduce her suspicion. In fact, she added ice cubes containing potassium cyanide to both drinks.

The ice cubes were resealed after adding potassium cyanide. As long as the melting time was controlled, only the deceased who liked to eat ice cubes would be poisoned, but she would not.

And she would rather be in the rain than put on a hat...

She probably took the opportunity to put the ice cube in her hat and hide it...

Conan thought this, and then noticed a familiar figure.

Fengyuan got an umbrella somewhere and walked through the rain, disappearing from Conan's sight.

…

Dr. A Li's home.

Haiyuan Ai was lying on the sofa, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sound of unlocking and then the door being pushed open reached her ears, but it took her a while to react. She stood up in a panic, but almost fell to the ground.

Then he was supported.

"…you've been drinking?"

After helping Hui Yuan Ai back to the sofa and watching her sit firmly again, Feng Yuan asked.

The Hui Yuan Ai in front of him looked dizzy, his face was red, and he smelled of alcohol. But there was no glass or bottle containing wine on the table.

"You...why are you back?"

Hui Yuan Ai did not answer the question, but asked dazedly.

According to what I said before, Kaede should have come back after the high school festival, at least to watch the show with Uncle Mori and Conan.

"There were a lot of typos in the message you sent. It took me a lot of effort to understand what you were talking about."

"It's not the same as you usually do, so I came back to take a look." Feng Yuan continued after looking at the cell phone placed on the sofa, which was probably held by Hai Yuan Ai.

"..."

Kudo once again used his reasoning ability in such a boring place.

Hui Yuan Ai complained in her heart but did not say it out loud.

She just sat like this, leaning her head on the sofa, and started counting.

A Kudo…

Two Kudos…

"Baigan?"

"…Um."

"It only works if you have a cold." Fengyuan remembered that when he went out at noon, Haiyuan Ai was fine and didn't seem to have a cold. "I told you last time."

"...I just want to see the effect of Bai Gan alone first."

"So... you are testing the medicine?" Fengyuan asked.

Haiyuan Ai turned his head away slightly to avoid looking, and then felt uncomfortable, so he simply lay down on the sofa again.

"You have all changed back," Hui Yuan Ai said softly, "Antibodies may be produced in the body, and the data I have is more accurate."

She had already waited for the alcohol to enter her bloodstream and took a sample from herself for future control. Then she came up from the basement in a daze, intending to lie down in a more open environment for a while to sober up.

Then she felt dizzy and sent a message to Kudo...

I didn't expect to be noticed just like this.

"...This is just for research needs." Hui Yuan Ai added softly.

"So what's next? Get yourself a cold and drink it again?"

"...I haven't thought about it yet." Hui Yuan Ai replied.

In fact, she had already made a temporary antidote based on ingredients extracted from Baigan liquor, but she had not yet decided whether to tell Kudo and Edogawa, nor had she tested it.

She has also made "cold medicine", which refers to medicine that can make people catch a cold.

She deliberately chose this afternoon to prepare for the test when Kudo and the doctor were not around. The temporary antidote will take longer to take effect, and the time it takes to do nothing is only a few minutes...it was just right this afternoon.

That's how it was.
