Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 371 Madam, just be good... (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"What are you talking about? Mr. Maori! How could I...how could I be the murderer of Katsuhiko!?"

Upon hearing Kogoro Mori's accusation, not only Mrs. Minagawa was dumbfounded, but everyone else present was also stunned and unbelievable.

"Dad, what are you talking about! How could Mrs. Minagawa be the murderer?!"

Mao Lilan suspected that her father had drunk a lot of wine when he came here and was still drunk, so he was talking nonsense.

After all, Katsuhiko Minagawa and Mrs. Minagawa are mother and son!
As a mother, Mrs. Minakawa poisoned her own child to death?

This kind of thing is impossible just by thinking about it.

Originally, after listening to Kogoro Mori's logical reasoning, she was somewhat happy, thinking that her father was finally reliable for once.

But now it seems that she was happy a little too early.

Her father, Kogoro Mouri, is still the same confused detective. He has never changed at all and has never been associated with the word reliable!

"That's right, brother Maori, you must have pointed at the wrong person. Mrs. Minagawa can't possibly be the murderer!"

Inspector Megure felt that his brother might have lost his mind and said the wrong thing.

To be honest, if Kogoro Mori accused Mrs. Minagawa of killing Wakamatsu Toshihide, he might believe it.

After all, Wakamatsu Toshihide had such a bad relationship with Minagawa Katsuhiko before, and if Mrs. Minagawa had not appeared in time, Minagawa Katsuhiko might have been severely beaten.

As a mother, seeing her child being bullied like this, it is not impossible that Mrs. Minagawa was so angry that she poisoned Wakamatsu Toshihide to vent her anger on her child.

But what if the person she killed was Katsuhiko Minagawa?

Sorry, he really doesn't want to believe this kind of thing!
After all, Mrs. Minagawa is Katsuhiko Minagawa's mother!
What kind of mother is so cruel to kill her own child with her own hands!
Of course, he also knows that although mothers in the world are ordinary, their dedication and love for their children are great.

But not everyone is qualified to be a mother, and not every mother is great.

For example, some women become mothers without being mentally prepared to be mothers, and after the child is born, they do not know how to take care of and love the child.

Some mothers are so cruel and ruthless that they abandon their children just to pursue the happiness they want.

Not to mention, Mrs. Minagawa is not Katsuhiko Minagawa's biological mother.

As Katsuhiko Minagawa's adopted mother, it is possible that Mrs. Minagawa would take action against Katsuhiko Minagawa, who is not her biological child.

But the key point is that, as far as he knows, Mrs. Minagawa and Katsuhiko Minagawa have a pretty good mother-son relationship.

In fact, if Mrs. Minagawa really hated Katsuhiko Minagawa, she would not have raised him for so many years with great difficulty after Katsuhiko Minagawa lost his parents!

In other words, the other party had absolutely no motive to kill Katsuhiko Minagawa, the child he had raised for so many years!

"No, I didn't point at the wrong person, she is the murderer!"

Noticing the suspicious expressions on everyone's faces, Conan, who was hiding behind the sofa, sighed slightly.

Frankly speaking, if the facts were not right in front of him, he would be very unwilling to believe that the beautiful, kind, gentle and virtuous Mrs. Minagawa would be the real murderer!
It’s a pity that in the face of irrefutable evidence, he had no choice but to believe it, and Mrs. Minakawa had no choice but to make excuses!
Seeing that "Mouri Kogoro" controlled by Conan still wanted to throw the blame of murder on herself, Mrs. Minagawa was a little excited, "Then tell me! How did I kill him? Tell me!"

Glancing coldly at Mrs. Minagawa who was still trying to quibble, Conan suppressed the last bit of pity in his heart and stated his evidence indifferently, "You poisoned the food!"

But, I don’t know if it was Conan’s illusion, he always felt that Mrs. Minagawa’s walking posture was a little awkward, and the corners of the kimono she was wearing seemed a little messy?

It was as if he had been raped before.

However, Conan did not think much about it. After all, Mrs. Minagawa walked in an awkward posture, which was probably because she accidentally injured her leg. As for the messy corners of her clothes, it was probably because she was busy destroying the evidence and didn't notice it.

What's more, he has important things to do now, so he doesn't have the time to care about what's wrong with Mrs. Jiechuan!
Maori Kogoro's decisive words not only did not make Mrs. Minagawa panic, but made her calm down a lot, "Everyone ate the same food!"

In other words, if she really poisoned the food, then the ones who would be dead would not just be Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu, but all the members who attended the Valentine's Day party!
"That's right! But only Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu died!"

At this point, Maori Kogoro paused, then continued, "Because the two of them didn't eat, that's why they died!"

Why did Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu die after eating the same food?
the reason is simple……

Because there was one kind of food on the table that they didn't eat.

That's the cake!
At this moment, Conan was actually feeling somewhat relieved.

Because, at the beginning, he didn't really want to eat the cake, and even thought about just taking a bite and not eating it.

After all, he is not really a child.

But perhaps because he has grown smaller, his body has developed a special liking for sweets, which is why he can't stop eating them once he has tasted them. -- Children love sweets mainly because the sugar in sweets can effectively maintain the body's energy supply and the functioning of tissues and organs, which helps the child's physical development. Especially when the child is hungry, he prefers to eat sweets to replenish energy. In addition, it is natural for children to like to eat foods that taste sweeter, and coupled with poor self-control, they can't help but like sweets.

Fortunately, he ate a lot of cake, otherwise, with him drinking so much poisonous coffee, it might not be just Katsuhiko Minagawa who would have to travel with Wakamatsu Toshihide today, but also this shrunken high school detective!
Listening to Maori Kogoro's reasoning, Maori Ran and her best friend Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other, somewhat puzzled and puzzled, "You said they died because they didn't eat? What's going on?"

Didn't they say that the food was poisonous? How come now it's said that the person died because he didn't eat the food?
Could it be that this is a poison that can only be survived if eaten?
But isn't food meant to be eaten? Can poisoning food that is eaten really kill people?

Or, when this poison is not eaten, it will evaporate into the air and kill people?
Or maybe, is there some secret that she doesn't know?
Mrs. Minagawa took a deep look at Kogoro Mouri who was sitting on the sofa, pursed her pink lips and said nothing.

Seeing that she did not refute his words, Conan thought that she was speechless. He immediately excitedly controlled the tool man "Mouri Kogoro" and continued to show his reasoning. "Just now, I heard a very strange thing from Conan. That is, ma'am, when you saw Jin secretly eating chocolate, he seemed very angry!"

"Of course, I can understand this. After all, children with cavities cannot eat sweets like chocolate."

"Even so, but later on, you gave him the cake. Why?"

"I can't eat chocolate, but I can eat cake? This is a bit too weird!"

At this point, Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, attracting the attention of everyone who seemed to be thinking about something, and then he told the reason why Mrs. Minakawa did this, "The reason is very simple, that's because you put poison in the coffee and the antidote in the cake!"

"You saw Jin drink the poisoned coffee, and then you hurriedly took the cake, which was the antidote, for him to eat! Because you were worried that he would be poisoned!"

"As for why you are so sure that Katsuhiko Minagawa will be poisoned to death by you, it's because you already know that Katsuhiko Minagawa doesn't like sweets. A person who doesn't like sweets won't eat cake!"

"So based on this, you came up with this plan. At the same time, you also took advantage of the fact that Katsuhiko had a crush on Miss Haomei."

"Because, if it was chocolate given by Miss Haomei, there was no way Katsuhiko would not eat it."

I'm afraid Katsuhiko Minagawa will eat the chocolate given by the girl he likes, no matter how bad it tastes!
Even though he never likes sweets!
"That's why you, who arrived earlier than everyone else, took the chocolate in Ke Yan's hand and replaced it with the poisoned chocolate."

"Because you want to get rid of the suspicion of murder and put the blame on Miss Haomei."

But fortunately, Mrs. Minakawa did this "unnecessary thing", otherwise, he would not be able to find strong evidence to expose the other party's true face!

"However, although your plan went smoothly, something unexpected happened. That is, because of their depressed mood, Wakamatsu Toshihide and Minagawa Katsuhiko did not eat the cake."

"Even after your repeated persuasion, he still had no intention of eating the cake. In order to prevent your plan from being exposed in advance, you had no choice but to watch Wakamatsu Toshihide walk towards his death step by step..."

After listening to Maori Kogoro's reasoning, and looking at the people around her who were obviously suspicious of her, Mrs. Minagawa's pupils suddenly shrank, and then she loudly rebuked Maori Kogoro righteously, "You made all this up! Bring out the evidence!"

"You have no evidence at all, but you just accuse me of murder. Do you believe me or not, I will report you to the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Seeing that even at this point, Mrs. Minagawa still had no intention of confessing her guilt and was still quibbling for herself, trying to escape the punishment of the law, Conan's eyes flashed with coldness and disgust, "Of course I have evidence! The evidence is on the coffee cup!"

"Even though you had already cleaned up the coffee before the police arrived! However, no matter how much you wash it, the toxins can still be detected. Moreover, even if there is no residue on the cup, it will remain in the drain! As long as the police investigate carefully, they will be able to find it!"

"And, ma'am, the thing hidden under your clothes seems to be about to melt!"

"And this thing, if I'm not mistaken, should be Miss Haomei's chocolate that you swapped!"

Kogoro Mori's words made Mrs. Minagawa subconsciously look at her chest.

Only then did she realize with surprise that the piece of chocolate on her chest had indeed melted.

However, although the chocolate was melted, she did not choose to plead guilty. "Don't be ridiculous! How do I know that he ate Miss Haomei's chocolate?"

"And why would I want to kill my own child?"

"No, that's not the case!"

As soon as these words came out, Conan was about to manipulate Maori Kogoro, the tool man, to speak, but before he could speak, Katsuhiko Minagawa's childhood sweetheart Sekiya Kaori, who was standing next to Watanabe Yoshimi, took the lead and said, "Katsuhiko's biological parents died in a car accident seven years ago. Because of this, he was adopted by you, his aunt."

"And as far as I know, Ke Yan fell in love with Hao Mei because Hao Mei looks like her mother. So you know that Ke Yan will definitely eat the chocolate that Hao Mei gave him, right?"

Mrs. Minagawa took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said calmly, "Yes, I admit that I am not Ke Yan's biological mother, but what does that prove? I have lived with Ke Yan for so many years, I have already regarded him as my own child!"

"Also, Detective Maori, your reasoning is indeed brilliant. It sounds like I am indeed a suspect of murder. However, everything requires evidence. If you want to accuse me of being the real murderer of this murder, then you must show me the real evidence and the police's test results!"

Without any real evidence, you want her to plead guilty based on just some verbal reasoning. What a joke!
Seeing Mrs. Minakawa's reaction, Conan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

what's the situation?
At this time, shouldn't Mrs. Minakawa confess her sins? Why is it different from what he thought?
Why did Mrs. Minakawa refuse to admit it after he pointed out that she poisoned the coffee and hid the antidote in the cake?

Even when he said that even if the other party washed the cup and there was no residue on the cup, there would be residue in the sewer, Mrs. Minakawa still refused to plead guilty and asked him to produce the police's test results?

This kind of reaction is really wrong!
