Author: Report Mr. Krabs

Other people in the bar started to commotion and looked at Tanaka fiercely. Tanaka calmed down after the initial panic and disdainfully said to Kogoro: "I said so much, but it's just your guess. According to what you said

Using this method, anyone could be the murderer, including you, the so-called famous detective."

"Haha, you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin."

Kogoro motioned to Officer Megure to show another photo: "Do you still recognize this lifebuoy? You bought it yourself and put it on Miss Mitsuko. We have investigated the store owner, and he can prove that you are here

Two days ago, I bought such a lifebuoy and said I bought it for Miss Mitsuko..."

"That's enough, Detective."

Tanaka interrupted Kogoro and said angrily: "There are many people buying this lifebuoy, how can you be sure that I bought it? If it is just a guess without real evidence, then I will not accompany you anymore.

You’re just messing around here.”

"So what if we detect your fingerprint on the lifebuoy?"

Kogoro sneered and said: "You probably thought that after the incident was completed, the lifebuoy would sink to the bottom of the sea and never be discovered again, so you were careless and did not put on gloves. It is a pity that Skynet is not leaking, and Miss Mitsuko is not dead.

, the lifebuoy also fell into the hands of the police, what else can you say to make excuses now?"

"I, I, I..."

Tanaka was sweating profusely and opened his mouth, but could not speak.

"It doesn't matter if you don't plead guilty. As long as you wait a few more hours, when the victim wakes up, she will definitely tell us what happened."

Officer Memu said coldly: "By then, it will be too late if you want to say anything else."

"I...I plead guilty."

Tanaka clenched his fist and finally loosened it. He fell on the seat like a puddle of mud and muttered feebly: "It's all her fault, it's all that stupid woman's fault. Why does she insist on pestering me? I don't want to kill her...

She forced it..."

In the disdainful eyes of the onlookers, the police escorted Tanaka out of the bar. Soon there was applause in the bar. These fans of Moori Kogoro did not expect that they had witnessed their idol's mystery show with their own eyes.

"Low-key, everyone, keep a low-key. In fact, this case is not complicated at all, it is just trivial."

Although Kogoro said this, his teeth almost flew out of his mouth when he smiled.

"It's finally over, can we go back to sleep?"

Conan looked at Maori with contempt and yawned.

However, God seemed reluctant to let him rest. Officer Megure, who had just gone out, quickly came back, walked up to Kogoro, and whispered a few words with a livid face. Kogoro raised his eyebrows in slight surprise,

Then he reached out to pick up Conan and followed Officer Megure out of the bar.

Two blocks away, the atmosphere in the high-end hotel belonging to the Redwood Group was somewhat depressing. The boss of the Redwood Group, Daisuke Shiraki, the owner of this hotel, was found dead in the presidential suite ten minutes ago.

"According to eyewitnesses and hotel surveillance, it can be proven that the deceased entered the room with the flower arrangement artist Okano Rika two hours ago. But five minutes later, Okano Rika came out of the room. Since then, there have been

No one entered or left the room. It was only when the deceased’s assistant had an emergency and couldn’t get through the deceased’s phone that he entered the room, only to find the deceased lying on the sofa.”

Officer Memu introduced the situation at the scene: "According to the preliminary autopsy, the time of death of the deceased should be within half an hour, and the cause of death was poisoning. There were no signs of struggle at the scene, and the doors and windows were locked before the body was found, so the initial guess was that it was suicide.

"

"suicide?"

Kogoro looked at the scene, frowned and asked: "If it was suicide, why did you ask me to come?"

"Because you had a conflict with the deceased during the day, according to the procedure, the police must find you for questioning."

Officer Memu lowered his voice: "But looking at the surveillance, I know you have nothing to do with this case. I'll just take a note and you'll be fine."

Kogoro obviously didn't care about this problem and asked: "Where is Okano Rika?"

"She is also being interviewed by the police. Just like you, the process is going through the same process. After all, she left the room two hours ago and had no chance to poison her."

"What if it's a chronic poison?"

Kogoro asked in reply: "If you poison yourself in advance and wait for a while before you die from the poison, won't you be able to clear your suspicions?"

"But if it was a chronic poison, then when the deceased felt unwell, why didn't he call for help? Instead, he lay on the sofa, just like falling asleep..."

Officer Memu suddenly clapped his hands: "I understand, just like the previous murder case of diplomats, the deceased was unconscious."

"But how to administer the medicine?"

Conan frowned and said: "There are no traces of needle injection on the corpse. If it was taken orally, then it would have to be dissected."

"It's very simple, just let the deceased breathe the poison into his body without knowing it."

Kogoro pointed to Daisuke Shiraki's chest, where a blooming rose was pinned.

Conan understood instantly: "The murderer sealed the poison into the flowers in advance, and then used low-temperature technology to keep the flowers in their bud state. When the temperature reaches the right temperature, the flowers bloom, and the poison is dispersed."

It is not that there are no poisons in the world that can seal the throat with blood, but poisons such as potassium cyanide and arsenic that often appear in the science world will never be poisoned to death on the spot if people take them orally. But like now, using air to volatilize

If poisoned, the person will be poisoned more slowly.

What's more important is the issue of dosage. Can a tiny bit of poison really kill a living adult?

But this is the world of science. Countless seniors have proven with their own lives that even if they accidentally touch a tiny bit of cyanide, they will immediately belch.

"Then the murderer knows very well that there are two people with the ability to control the blooming of flowers, but only one of them has ever been in and out of this room. And only the flowers she arranged will not arouse the suspicion of the victim."

Kogoro said solemnly: "But if I were her, I would have taken advantage of this period of time to clean up all the evidence."

"And we can't prove that the flower on the deceased's chest must have been planted by Okano Rika. Even if we found fingerprints on it, she could deny that she touched it accidentally. After all, they were alone in this room.

Got along."

Conan rubbed his chin, thinking the same thing.

"If it doesn't work, we will conduct a large-scale search of her residence or workplace. If you don't believe it, you won't find any evidence."

Officer Megure was about to leave angrily. At this time, Kogoro stopped him: "Maybe we can get her to admit it."

Half an hour later, Okano Rika returned to her apartment. She just closed the door and took a long breath, but her eyes suddenly opened wide again.

Because there was a large bouquet of flowers placed on the coffee table in the living room, and the petals of these flowers were all closed at this time, as if they were still sleeping.

Okano Rika mustered up her courage and walked forward slowly. She saw a card inserted among the flowers. She picked up the card and found a sentence printed on it: "A special gift, Haru!"

At this moment, the originally closed petals bloomed, and all the flowers bloomed. However, such a stunning and beautiful scene made Okano Rika's soul fly away.

Especially when she smelled a hint of bitter almond, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

"Help, come and save me..."

She screamed at the top of her lungs.
