Chapter 74

Conan: "..."

Suffered, suffered.

A future acquiescence was so confusing that Conan gradually relaxed his vigilance unknowingly. Only now did he react and urgently recalled and thought:
First, I realized that Minagawa Katsuhiko and Minagawa Susumu are not biological brothers. Is that too inappropriate for children?No.

Minagawa Susumu's meaning is quite obvious, and smart children can really hear it.

Second, I realize that Ichijo will wait until others have used it for a period of time before eating anything. Is this too inappropriate for children?No.

Even the strange child Minagawa Susumu was observing silently and noticed that Suzuki Sonoko had a crush on Ichijo Mirai.

Third, I realized that the poison administered by Tanaka Naomichi did not kill Minagawa Katsuhiko. Isn’t it like a child?No

The two cartons of cigarettes in the evidence bag were too obvious.

However, I need to patch it up later because my elders often smoke and are somewhat familiar with cigarettes.

Fourth, you realize that the real murderer is Mrs. Minagawa. Doesn’t it look like a child?
No, he hasn't had time to say it yet!
Conan calmed down and touched his head, "Huh?"

"I want to be a detective!"

He puffed up his chest very childishly, "The detective is very powerful, just like brother Ichijo and Uncle Moori, he will get a lot of attention no matter where he goes."

"And you can also solve the case and find the real culprit!"

"My classmates and I also formed a very powerful detective club. Last time we cracked the code map together and successfully found the 'treasure'. Even Teacher Xiaolin praised us for being such a professional detective team."

"Ichijo-nii," Conan lowered his voice again, forced himself to be excited, and imitated Genta Kojima's excitement, "Did you also discover the murderer?"

"This is Mrs. Minagawa, right?"

"Brother Minagawa is dead, but she is still washing coffee cups! And she even fed Xiaojin cakes before. Brother Minagawa was poisoned not because of what he ate, but because of what he didn't eat, right?"

"Because he didn't eat the cake."

Saying it in one breath, Conan maintained his excitement, raised his chin, and imitated Genta Kojima's tone, "Isn't it right? I'm a very powerful detective!"

He added, "You can remove the word 'little', I'm not little anymore!"

He imitated it vividly, like a very smart but childish primary school student, sincerely thanking a classmate he had just met for the first time.

And nervously awaiting a future response.

Ichijo Mirai's expression did not change, and even the width of his smile did not change at all. He patiently listened to Conan finish a long series of words, and then smiled and praised, "Well, you are a very powerful detective."

He didn't pay attention to the so-called map or the so-called detective team. He only paid attention to one thing, "You said you wanted to become a detective."

“Can detectives be involved in police activities to track criminals across international borders?”

uncertain.

But the detective will never find a way to contact the criminal he is tracking and persuade him to surrender during the holidays.Not to mention that he would not persist in hunting for more than ten years, more persistent than Hachiko, a loyal dog.

What's more, he doesn't even have a stable girlfriend. He often leaves suddenly during dates and goes to the office to think about clues about the criminal. He also doesn't wake up shouting the criminal's name in his sleep, right?

He wouldn't be so persistent that even his own child knew the name of the criminal his father was tracking, would he?

Mirai Ichijo looked at Conan thoughtfully, taking a strict look at this somewhat nervous child: smart, keen, agile, and childish.

He doesn't seem to be very persistent.

……good.

Conan tried his best to get rid of his nervousness and cold sweat, "No, it can't be."

He pretended to be distressed and thought seriously, "I have never encountered an international case. Will Officer Megure encounter one?"

Souyi is responsible for murder cases. If the murderer flees across the country, the police responsible for the case may pursue him across the country.

But a future criminal record does not include murder.

He touched Conan's head. His smile was no longer so gentle, but more casual, "Maybe."

Then he raised his voice and interrupted the exchange, saying, "The real culprit must be Watanabe, so beautiful!" 'Megure Thirteen and Mouri Kogoro, "Officer Megure, this kid discovered the real murderer."

"This is Mrs. Minagawa."

Megure Thirteen and Mouri Kogoro heard the sound and looked, "What?!"

"Mrs. Minagawa?!"

Conan: "???"

"!!!" He immediately nodded proudly with his arms akimbo, possessing Yuantai again, "Yes, I found the murderer together with my brother Ichijou!"

All adults who saw Conan's expression and heard Conan's tone automatically translated: Yes, Mirai Ichijo found the real murderer while coaxing the children.

Mouri Kogoro was the first to react, ignoring Conan and looking at Mirai Ichijou suspiciously, "Huh?"

"Shouldn't the murderer be Watanabe Haomei who sent the chocolate? How could it be Mrs. Minagawa? Everyone ate the things she made."

Conan raised his hands and jumped up, "I will speak, I will speak, let me speak, brother Ichijo!"

"Sister Yuanzi said that you are super powerful. You must have discovered it a long time ago, but," he grabbed a wrist that was placed on Mirai's knee and looked pitiful as a child, "but I want sister Xiaolan to praise me. , let me tell you, okay?"

Let Ichijo Mirai say, Conan is afraid that he will say, 'Conan discovered xxx, Conan discovered xxx, Conan discovered xxx again'.

It will definitely make headlines.

A future: "."

He paused, raised his hand calmly, and tried to shake off the clingy child as quietly as possible, "OK."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he spoke again, his tone was still lively, "Brother Minagawa was poisoned because of the cake."

"It's because Ichijou's brother is so handsome that I unconsciously pay attention to him, and Xiaojin's tooth decay, so I realized that coffee and cake seem a bit strange."

He recounted what Mrs. Minagawa silently urged Ichi to drink coffee and eat cake in the future, and also recounted Minagawa Susumu’s completely different experiences of eating chocolate and eating cake, and pointed out the supporting evidence, "Look, Xiaojin has a toothache."

Megure Thirteen and Mouri Kogoro turned around and saw Minagawa Susumu, covering his face and sobbing.

"There is poison in the coffee and the antidote in the cake," Conan added. "Everyone ate the poison and the antidote, but Brother Minagawa didn't eat the cake or the antidote, so he died from the poison."

"And Mrs. Minagawa is washing the coffee cup. She hasn't finished washing it yet. We can know it with a test, right? Even after washing it, there are still drugs left in the sink."

Everyone nearby turned their heads and looked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Minagawa was still washing the coffee cups unhurriedly.

As Conan explained, the people around him quieted down and became less noisy, so the sound from the living room, which was originally unclear, could also be heard somewhat in the kitchen.

The two police officers in the kitchen subconsciously looked at each other, then looked at Mrs. Minagawa.

Mrs. Minagawa's hand paused for a moment, then continued to clean the coffee cup as if she hadn't heard.

Officer Megu unconsciously touched his head, a little doubtful, "Yes, I remember to clean the cup at the murder scene, this..."

There is really a suspicion of eliminating clues!
He made a quick decision, "Quick, whether it's true or not, go get the cup!"

A police officer obeyed the order and walked to the kitchen with the evidence bag to get the cup.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to try his best to balance the need to quickly tell the case information while being childish. He felt a little bit unsatisfied, "I knew it at a glance. He's very smart, isn't he? Officer Megure."

I urgently went to observe a future look.

But it's too much to beat.

After being beaten, Kogoro Mouri punched Conan directly with a black face, causing a big bag. "Tsk, how come you know so many clues but don't tell them!"

He still complained a little and called Mirai Ichijo by his surname unfamiliarly, "Why are you playing such detective games with children, Mr. Ichijou?"

"This kid deserves a beating. Ignore him next time!"

Conan covered his head silently, his eyes turned into dead fish eyes, and he laughed dryly: "Ha, haha, Uncle Maoli thinks I am smarter than you, and is retaliating against me."

He went to see a future again.

Seeing that Conan's head had another big bulge, Ichigo followed the process of patting his head perfunctorily this time and just tapped the air, "I'm not playing games with him."

"Conan is very perceptive."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief: It's not that he doubted, 'Why is this child so sharp? He couldn't be a guy pretending to be a child, right? 'Attitude.

He cheered up again and said proudly: "Like Uncle Maori, I am very smart!"

The proud childish tone turns a statement of fact into a statement of coaxing.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Minagawa, who had not had time to wash all the coffee cups, took a few steps back and silently allowed the police to come and collect evidence.

After the police finished extracting the evidence, she closed her eyes, leaned on the cooking table, barely supported her body with the table, and said tiredly: "...It's me."

"I killed Katsuhiko."
