Chapter 104 I, Kamiya Yuya, also became a ghost for a day
It's raining outside
Hong Shang Mai suddenly said: "Come to think of it, when I came here today, I seemed to see Mr. Urata frantically looking for something in the car."
Mitani Yota and Noda Yumemi were stunned for a moment and also remembered this incident.
Inspector Megure arranged for Takagi Wataru to follow the three people to investigate in the deceased's car to see if there were any clues.
Hattori Heiji looked around but couldn't find the black knight. He looked at Kamiya Yuya again, and finally walked to Conan, squatted down, grabbed his shoulder and whispered: "I think the murderer should be that guy..."
Conan coughed lightly and whispered, "Today I'm just a kid who came to watch a play. I don't know anything about the case."
Hattori Heiji was stunned and said in astonishment: "This is different from the usual you."
Conan laughed dryly and touched his aching head. Yuya's warning was still ringing in his ears: "I'm warning you for the last time. If there is a case today, you should stay aside honestly. Otherwise, I won't help you pretend to be Kudo Shinichi. You can just wait for Xiaolan to blow your head off."
Conan sighed in his heart. Although he didn't know why Yuya was so sure that a case would happen today, the case did happen.
No matter what, he has to behave himself today, otherwise... Let's not talk about whether Mouri Ran will really blow off his skull, if Yu doesn't help to pretend, will he really reveal his identity to Mouri Ran?
Now they haven't collected any intelligence about the Black Organization, and it would be too dangerous to rashly involve other people.
Hattori Heiji: So everything will be fine if you involve me?
Conan: Hattori, you are a mature detective, I believe you know your limits!
Inspector Megure glanced around and saw a familiar figure. His eyes lit up and he waved at him: "Brother Kamiya! You are here too?"
Kamiya Yuya hesitated, touched his ear and walked forward: "Inspector, have you forgotten that I am also a student of this school?"
Inspector Megure suddenly realized: "I see. So, what do you think of today's case?"
Kamiya Yuya paused and said, "There are still some things that need to be confirmed. Let's wait until Officer Takagi and the others come back and the test results come out."
Inspector Megure looked at Kamiya Yuya in confusion, always feeling that brother Kamiya was a little different today, but he didn't think much about it and nodded.
···
Soon, the Forensic Department called to report the results, and Takagi Shigeru also came back.
Takagi Wataru took out a small bag with a dark-colored small bottle inside and reported to Inspector Megure: "Inspector, I found this small bottle in the car. It contains potassium cyanate."
Inspector Megure glanced at the bottle and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. The Forensic Department just called and said that no toxic substances were detected in the four people's cups."
Takagi Wataru was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that..."
Maori Kogoro came up and said, "Could it be suicide? The deceased was dumped by someone 10 years younger than him, and he couldn't bear it and committed suicide?"
Inspector Megure hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, if that's the case..."
"Wait, Inspector Megure." Kamiya Yuya came over and said with a smile, "You don't want to conclude this case is a suicide, do you?"
Inspector Megure immediately reacted: "Brother Kamiya, what you mean is..."
Kamiya Yuya touched his ear, nodded and said, "Yes, this case is obviously a homicide, and the method of committing the crime is very simple."
Inspector Megure's eyes lit up: "What do you think, Brother Kamiya?"
Kamiya Yuya smiled slightly, looked at Miyano Shiho and asked, "Mio-chan, do you have a 10-yuan coin?"
Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment, nodded, took out her wallet, took out a few coins and handed them over.
Kamiya Yuya took a look and picked out a slightly rusty coin.
Seeing him acting mysterious, Inspector Megure couldn't help but ask, "Brother Kamiya, you said the deceased was murdered, but we didn't detect any poisonous substances in the four cups. How did the murderer poison the drink? And the deceased died after almost finishing the drink. How is this going on?"
Kamiya Yuya turned and looked at Inspector Megure: "It's very simple. We only need one thing to accomplish it."
"what?"
"Ice! Just make a small hole in the ice, inject potassium cyanate into the center, and seal it up."
Inspector Megure was a little puzzled: "But if we use ice cubes, won't the potassium cyanate still get into the cup after it melts?"
Kamiya Yuya smiled, looked at Takagi Wataru and asked: "Officer Takagi, when you found the deceased's cup, was the lid open or covered?"
Takagi Wataru thought for a moment and answered affirmatively: "The cup is intact and the lid is open."
Kamiya Yuya nodded and continued, "That's very obvious. The deceased didn't drink the potassium cyanate, but ate it!"
"Eat it?!"
Maori Kogoro immediately understood: "I see, if you put the ice in your mouth and chew it, there will be no toxins left in the cup."
Inspector Megure nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I usually have this habit. Then who is the person who added poison to the ice?"
Kamiya Yuya said: "Mr. Mitani and Ms. Noda, who were in charge of passing the cups, didn't have time to put ice cubes in. As for Ms. Ayako, who was selling drinks, she did have a chance to do it."
"However, she arbitrarily replaced the iced coffee she ordered with a Coke. It is impossible for her to poison a drink that could be returned at any time.
And there was another person who ordered iced coffee at the time, so there was no way to guarantee who would be poisoned. If there was only a 50% success rate, the risk was too great, so the poison was not added by her. "
Inspector Megure also understood: "You mean..."
Kamiya Yuya nodded, touched his ear again, and pointed at someone: "So, the person most likely to have poisoned Mr. Urata is you, Miss Hong Shang Mai, who went to buy drinks!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Hong Shang Mai and found that her face looked extremely ugly, and they couldn't help but believe what Kamiya Yuya said.
"After buying the drink, she pretended to add creamer and syrup and opened the cup, which gave her the opportunity to put the poisonous ice cubes in."
"Wait a minute," Noda Yume was confused, "Don't Urata and Yume have unused creamer and syrup on them?"
Kamiya Yuya explained: "That's because after she opened the lid, she found that it was not coffee but cola. If she added creamer and syrup, Mr. Urata would probably not drink it. In this way, wouldn't her plan to poison him fail?"
"She deliberately returned to her seat just before the play began, in order to avoid having to return the drink. After all the lights in the gymnasium were dimmed, it would be very inconvenient to walk back and forth."
Inspector Megure asked: "But how can she carry such poisoned ice? In this weather, ice can't be preserved for a long time, right?"
Yuya Kamiya took out a small pink plastic wallet contained in a transparent bag from his pocket.
"I found this in the trash can in front of the restroom."
"As long as you put the ice cubes and dry ice together, you can keep the ice cubes for a long time with the help of dry ice."
Inspector Megure said to Takagi Wataru: "Take it for testing immediately."
Takagi Shigeru immediately took the wallet and ran out.
Kamiya Yuya continued: "Then, you just need to hand over the drink with ice cubes to Mr. Mitani, and use the excuse of going to the toilet to dispose of the dry ice."
Then he looked at Hong Shang Mai: "Well, do you have anything to say about my reasoning just now?"
Hong Shang Mai chuckled: "As expected of Kamiya Yuya, he really is a bit of a famous detective just as the newspaper said, but did you forget that I also ordered iced coffee? How do I know which cup of coffee Mr. Mitani will give to Mr. Urata?"
"What if I drank the poisoned coffee myself?"
Kamiya Yuya smiled and touched his ear again: "It's very simple, you just need to put poisonous ice cubes in two cups of coffee."
Hong Shang Mai's expression became even uglier.
Hattori Heiji leaned over to Conan's ear and whispered, "Where did you find this stand-in? The reasoning seems to be exactly the same as Kamiya's."
Conan lowered his eyes and whispered, "Idiot, because this is all Yuya's deduction!"
Hattori Heiji was stunned and didn't understand for a moment.
Conan said: "Didn't you notice that this 'Yuya' touched his ears several times?"
Hattori Heiji quickly looked at Kamiya Yuya, but his ears were covered by his hair and he could not see them. After recalling, he realized that it was indeed the case. He thought that Kamiya's ears were itchy.
"You mean, he was wearing headphones?"
Conan nodded: "That's right, Yuya told that person his reasoning through the microphone hidden in his collar, and then that person said it in front of everyone, so that people would not doubt why the famous high school detective remained silent at the crime scene."
Hattori Heiji looked at the black knight standing behind the crowd and found that his mouth was moving constantly.
"I see."
