Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 10 Forced to Kill

"En? So it's you guys. This is the activity room for the elderly. What are you doing here?"

Xiaolan was a little surprised, "It's you! You are"

She wanted to call out the other party's name, but suddenly remembered that they did not exchange names at all.

"Qinghai Chuantang."

"Miss Tang is like this. When Yuanzi and I passed by, we saw an old man lying on the side of the road, so we called the emergency number and called the police by the way. Because..." Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, then continued: "It seems to be Someone has been poisoned."

Poisoning?

A group of people who are over half a hundred years old will want to kill someone because of some terrible event?

"It's okay. With my inference Queen Yuanzi here, can this kind of trivial matter be resolved in minutes?"

Sonoko smiled confidently, but unfortunately, Conan didn't seem to be here.

"By the way, I seem to have seen you with a little boy before. Didn't he follow you this time?"

"You mean, Conan?" Xiaolan thought for a while, and said, "Conan and Shiliang are together, but they didn't say what it was. It seems that they have encountered some other case."

Xiaolan looked accustomed to it, and there was a hint of helplessness on her face.

It seems that detectives are always extra enthusiastic about cases.

Soon, Takagi arrived.

To his surprise, Conan was not there this time.

"The lady in the hospital, yes"

Opposite Takagi, sat four women, all members of this elderly activity room.

"You mean Meiling? She is the general manager of this activity room for the elderly."

Takagi nodded, recorded it in his notebook, and sighed: "Fortunately, Ms. Meiling's life is not in danger. As long as she takes a little more rest, she can be discharged from the hospital."

Yuanzi and Xiaolan looked outside the house to see if they could find any clues.

I saw a bottle of insecticide behind a potted plant, which was used by the murderer to poison.On the flower bed, there was a pair of white gloves, which were pulled off from the bottom up, so the fingertips were dented.

In the small refrigerator in the room, there are five identical glass bottles. The only difference is the label on the bottle.

From left to right: Mari Serizawa in red; Mirei Asanuma in blue; Mayu Nagashima in white; Lily Tamagawa in yellow; Mari Aihara in green.

This place is more complicated than imagined, because before, they had quarreled over drinks.

Mirei Asanuma's drink was stolen by someone, and she lost her temper because of it, but no one admitted that she did it by herself.

Both the glass bottle and the label were bought by Tamagawa Lily's daughter-in-law.

"I don't drink that cheap bottled stuff, so nothing is bottled."

Indeed, one of the glass bottles was empty

The person who spoke was Mari Serizawa, with a pear-blossom hair and a hat on his head. He was dressed more delicately, and his family background should be good.

Tamagawa Lily twitched the corner of her mouth, but said nothing.

There were conflicts between the victim and the four.

"I had a quarrel with Ms. Baihe when I was playing cards; I had a quarrel with Ms. Mari because of the competition for the position of general affairs; I had a quarrel with Ms. Mari because of the membership fee, and it was finally resolved by Ms. Mari who paid for her."

Yuanzi rubbed his chin and nodded, "I can see that Ms. Mari is a little subservient to her."

Takagi continued: "In the end, Ms. Mayu, she was caught stealing Ms. Meiling's drink, so the conflict arose."

Sonoko thought for a moment.

"It sounds like all four of them are suspected."

Xiaolan thought for a while, and then expressed her guess: "But none of them seem to be doing this. Could it be done by outsiders?"

"But why did you poison Ms. Mei Ling's red ginseng?"

Takagi's question made everyone fall into deep thought.If it looks like this, the other party has a purpose, so the murderer is among these four people.

"If you can find the sales record and ask if you remember the person who bought it that day, you should know who the murderer is. There are still a lot of pesticides left, and it should be bought not long ago. If you can find fingerprints on it"

Sonoko rubbed her chin thinking.

Takagi suddenly realized.

Xiaolan looked at Yuanzi and said enviously, "That's amazing!"

In fact, Xiaolan also has a certain reasoning ability, after all, under such influence.It's just that she lacks a certain amount of courage, or she is afraid of saying something wrong and causing serious consequences.

If she accidentally wronged someone, she might remember that feeling of guilt for a long time.

The results came out very quickly.

After questioning, I learned about the other person's appearance, and with the fingerprints on the insecticide bottle, it can be confirmed that it is Lily Tamagawa.

"I didn't expect to find the murderer so quickly. But why don't I feel the way I did before?"

Sonoko looked puzzled and puzzled.

And this time there is no reasoning process, it doesn't look like a detective at all.

"The feeling before?" Qinghai Chuantang asked deliberately.

Xiaolan explained: "Every time Yuanzi reasoned, he would fall asleep like my father, and then tell whether the method was the murderer."

"Then did you notice anything strange?"

Both Xiaolan and Yuanzi were a little puzzled, "Strange place?"

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, showing a meaningful smile: "For example, every time I reasoned, my lips didn't move, just like ventriloquism."

No matter how clever ventriloquist is, its voice will be different from your own essential voice, and it is impossible to be exactly the same.So, she went so far, as long as the seeds of doubt are sown, they will always take root and sprout, and then slowly grow into towering trees.

Yuchuan Lily was taken away by Takagi for investigation, and Xiaolan and Yuanzi also left after seeing the case solved.

There are still doubts about the matter, maybe Tamagawa Lily is not the real murderer.

So Qinghai Chuantang began to investigate under the guise of the police.She also finally understands why Conan is like this sometimes, because this trick is really easy to use.

She first found Mari Serizawa alone.

"I don't think Ms. Lily is a prisoner. I think it's more like a self-acting act by the general affairs. She has this kind of character, and she always needs the attention of others to be satisfied. Or, she is found greedy for money, and worried about being caught by this elderly activity room. Get out, that's why you did it on purpose."

During the speech, Serizawa Mari's hand kept touching the pearl pendant on her neck, indicating that she was very disturbed now.

"Is it really self-written and acted?"

"Of course it's true."

Serizawa Mari's eyes flickered for a moment.

Then, Qinghai Chuantang found Aihara Mari again.

"They're not that kind of people. But, Ms. Mayu"

Looking around, Aihara Mari approached her, and whispered, "I always steal the red ginseng from General Affairs, so I often quarrel."

Qinghai Chuantang looked directly at her and asked, "So, is it Ms. Ma You who put the insecticide into Ms. Meiling's glass bottle?"

Mari Aihara was obviously a little nervous, "I didn't mean that. Anyway, I didn't put pesticides in the red ginseng."

The polygraph test result was .True.

Explain that the other party is not lying.

So Qinghai Chuantang found Mayu Nagashima again.

"I think it was Ms. Mari's instigation, and then Ms. Mari's tricks. Because Ms. Mari didn't pay the membership fee, the general affairs wanted to dare her to leave, but in the end, Ms. Mari paid it on her behalf."

After finishing speaking, Nagashima Mayu sighed, "After that, don't mention how flattering and courteous you are. Oh, really, it's almost like a maid."

At the end, she seemed to be a little angry, obviously she couldn't understand the other party's appearance.

The other party really didn't look like he was lying.

"That day, you wanted to drink red ginseng, right?"

Nagashima Mayu nodded, but said, "Why should I drink that? Don't you like it?"

Inconsistency between words and deeds is a sign of lying.

Finally, Qinghai Chuantang came to the Metropolitan Police Department, found Tamagawa Lily, and asked if there was anyone suspicious.

Tamagawa Yuri thought for a while, "I think it should be Ms. Masato."

The reason is also very simple, because Serizawa Mari covets the position of president.I heard that General Affairs will participate in the next chairman election, so I want to act first.As soon as the two met, they would not give up, and even gave various gifts to the members, hoping to use this to canvass votes. Whether it was in secret or in the open, they were competing with each other.

"Last time, General Wu's daughter-in-law had an affair. She was the one who talked about it everywhere, and then General Wu sued her for defamation."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, the other party was indeed not lying.

"Then, Ms. Lily, why are you arguing with the general affairs?"

"It was just because she cheated while playing cards, so there was a little quarrel."

What I said above should be true, I'm afraid that the "little" in the back should be replaced with "big".

"One last question," Qinghai Chuantang asked with serious eyes, "Ms. Lily, did you wear gloves when you sprayed the insecticide?"

Tamagawa Lily nodded.

"Of course, how could it be possible to spray insecticide with bare hands? After I finished using it, I put the gloves on the flower bed."

Well, now it's just a matter of the prisoner's confession.

Qinghai Chuantang returned to the elderly activity room and waited for Takagi outside the door.When I contacted the other party again, I also asked him to buy exactly the same glass bottle and label, and wrote the names of several people on it.

When they entered the activity room for the elderly, the three of them were already sitting in a row.

Qinghai Chuantang put the bottle with the blue label and the bottle with the green label in front of Mayu Nagashima.

"The day the general affairs fell, you actually wanted to drink red ginseng, right?"

Nagashima Mayu nodded slightly, but denied it in his mouth: "Not at all."

Inconsistency between words and deeds, the performance of lying.

"After you and the general affairs quarrel over red ginseng, you can't drink freely, so you changed the label, right?"

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang reversed the positions of the two labels, "After all, red ginseng and green plum juice are the same color, so no one knows. However, as long as you test it, you will find your fingerprints on both the bottle and the label."

"Then, the prisoner is actually Ms. Mayu?"

Qinghai Chuantang looked at Takagi, but did not speak.

Gao Mu suddenly understood something, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Actually, I think there may be someone else."

Nagashima Mayu had already changed the label at that time, and she was about to drink, but Asanuma Mirei happened to walk over.She was a little guilty, so she quickly put the glass bottle back to its original place.Later, she was afraid that Mirei Asanuma would drink green plum juice, and realized something was wrong, so she changed the label back while the other party was going to the bathroom.

Takagi asked with a serious face: "So, how long has it been since?"

Nagashima Mayu thought about it, "It was changed after lunch, about two hours apart."

Qinghai Chuantang nodded, and then sat across from Aihara Mari.

Before she could speak, the other party took the lead and said, "I have nothing to do with the general affairs, and I just didn't pay the membership fee myself."

"I know."

"I didn't put medicine in the red ginseng, really."

"I know."

Aihara Mari seemed relieved, looked at them, then at Qinghai Chuantang.

"Then the prisoner is not among us?"

Of course.

The matter is actually very simple. When everyone went out to eat, the prisoner found the gloves on the flower bed and the insecticide bottle put aside.So she put on the gloves Lily Tamagawa put on the flower bed and poured the insecticide into the greengage juice.

"The medicine bottle is not red ginseng, but green plum juice."

Qinghai Chuantang stared at the other party, as if he had seen through everything.

Seeing everyone staring at him in unison, Aihara Mari was very uncomfortable.This made her even more nervous, constantly rubbing her palms.

"Ms. Mari, your palms sweat when you're nervous. I think it's hyperhidrosis?"

"Then, what's the matter?"

Aihara Mari took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and tried his best to argue: "This doesn't mean I'm guilty, does it? I just sweat a lot when I write scripts."

Such an explanation is indeed plausible.

But there is one more crucial point.

"The gloves at that time were turned upside down." Qinghai Chuantang sighed softly, "I heard that you never spoke loudly, and you always understood others and gave in."

"So, I ignore me."

Aihara Mari's voice trembled.

The already soft-hearted person wanted to commit a crime, and because of nervousness, he sweated even more.The gloves were not easy to take off after being soaked in sweat, so I turned them over and took them off.

Many people actually take off like this, including Qinghai Chuantang himself.However, as long as you check it, you can know whose sweat it is.

Just like a person's fingerprints, there will always be traces.

"Why did you do that?"

Aihara Mari gripped the handkerchief tightly, caught in some kind of memory
When people take off their shoes and go in, the toes of the shoes are facing the room.And at that time, when Mari Serizawa was about to leave, Aihara Mari changed the direction of the toe of her shoe to outside for her, which was more convenient.

Mari Serizawa expressed her gratitude, but also seemed to enjoy it all.

At that time, Nagashima Mayu was standing aside.

After Mari Serizawa left, Mayu Nagashima looked at her and said: Are you a servant?Don't you lose your pride after taking some money?Judging by your posture, you are willing to wipe her butt in the bathroom.

There was a mocking expression on his face, as if looking down on her.

After speaking, Nagashima Mayu turned and left, leaving only Aihara Mari standing there in a daze.

"I just want to thank Ms. Mari but why do you say such things?"

At this moment, Mari Aihara was crying, "Call me dirty, and call me a servant."

"me"

Nagashima Mayu knew that he had caused a catastrophe, "I just said something out of anger because of the red ginseng. Did you do this kind of thing because of this? My God, this is murder !"

She couldn't understand the other party's behavior.

Speech is a double-edged sword.You can only experience it yourself if you have experienced it yourself.

"I just wanted to make her suffer a little bit. But I didn't expect that the general affairs would drink this, let alone be hospitalized."

She was eventually handcuffed by Takagi.

After walking outside, Qinghai Chuantang looked at her, and asked with some puzzlement: "Do you have any grievances with Ms. Baihe?"

Aihara Mari shook her head.

"I'm just envious"

I envy her for having a harmonious and happy family, and envy her for having a virtuous and sensible daughter-in-law.She didn't intend to make Tamagawa Lily take the blame, just.
Aihara Mari put his hands together, looking a little hesitant.

Qinghai Chuantang took the scarf from around his neck, unfolded it and put it on the opponent's hand, covering the traces of the handcuffs.

"Thank you."

"Feel sorry."

This "thank you" was addressed to Qinghai Chuantang.And that sorry was to those who had been hurt by her and those who took the blame for her.

She repeated "sorry" several times, full of deep regret.

Takagi looked at her, a little unbearable, "Because it's a small amount and it's old, the punishment will be reduced. It's not an attempted murder, at most it's hurting others."

"Thank you."

After speaking, Aihara Mari bowed slightly to her.

"Miss Tang, thank you this time."

Qinghai Chuantang shook his head, "It's okay. But please don't tell those two girls about this."

Although Gao Mu felt strange in his heart, he still agreed.

Watching the vehicle leave, Qinghai Chuantang felt a little strange in his heart.

Afterwards, Qinghai Chuantang returned home and suddenly received a text message.

"You know, malt whiskey?"

Although the signature was not signed, Qinghai Chuantang still knew who the other party was.After all, with such a big note, if she didn't know it, she must be blind.

If she remembered correctly, there were only four bottles of whiskey in the organization: rye, Scotch, bourbon, Irish.

Among them, three were undercover.The only real wine, who was sacrificed to heaven by his teammates in the end, also betrayed him before he died, thinking that this organization took jujube pills.

"I don't know, new member?"

Just a few seconds after the message was sent, I received a reply from the other party: It is said that he is the earliest whiskey, but he has been hiding it very well.Status, perhaps above gin.

Then, malt is undoubtedly real wine.

After all, if it was fake wine, the organization would have been shattered.

"He has already taken action. Moreover, he seems to know the news about Kudo Shinichi and Shirley."

"Then you know your identity, don't you?"

"possible."

Qinghai Chuantang stared at the other party's last text message, unable to recover for a long time.

Malt whiskey has excellent reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance capabilities and shooting capabilities.He is good at changing his appearance and voice, and almost never shows up in the organization, so no one knows what he looks like.Even the height, age and other information are ignorant.

Men, women, old people, children. The four different answers are different people's impressions of malt.But more is just speculation.

Right now, malt is like a ticking time bomb.

He held a lot of information in his hand, but he didn't give it to the organization immediately, which showed that he had his own purpose in it.

So what is his purpose?

Who, malt again?

Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but fell into thinking.

　A big chapter, so today is an update.

　　Eh~ the aroma of malt
