Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 372 Fast forward to Madam, I'm sorry! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Conan looked suspiciously at Mrs. Minagawa who seemed particularly angry, and suddenly felt a little unconfident.

Could it be that Mrs. Minagawa was not the murderer in this murder case? Was there something wrong with the reasoning of this famous detective?
Otherwise, why didn't he see any panic or frustration on Mrs. Minakawa's face after her conspiracy was exposed, but instead only saw anger after someone felt she was slandered?
Or is all this just Mrs. Minakawa's bluff?

But, the other party’s acting skills were so superb, so superb that even he couldn’t tell the truth from the false?
Conan took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and came to a conclusion.

No matter how much he pondered over it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his thinking and his reasoning was correct.

However, since he was not wrong, it meant that someone else was wrong!
For example, there is a certain Mrs. Minagawa who is suspected of murder!

Unfortunately, even though he knew that there was something wrong with Mrs. Minakawa, and that her current reaction was most likely a bluff, he had no good way to expose her true face and make Mrs. Minakawa, the murderer, plead guilty in the short term!
Because it takes a certain amount of time to detect toxins, and what he lacks most now is time.

After all, it won’t be long before Kogoro Mori, who was shot by him, wakes up!

It's impossible that he would then give the other person another shot and then continue with his reasoning, right?
But putting it aside, his watch-shaped anesthetic gun can only hold one anesthetic needle at most, and he doesn't have any spare anesthetic needles on him now. Even if he wants to give Maori Kogoro another injection and let him transform into the sleeping Kogoro again so that he can manipulate him at will, he has no chance.

Just say, Mrs. Minakawa, since you dare to say that you allow the police to conduct tests at will, you must have the confidence and means to ensure that the police will not find anything.

In other words, even if the police took away all the coffee cups, cake plates, and even the sewer outlets used by everyone for careful inspection, they would probably not get any evidence against Mrs. Minakawa.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but feel curious.

He really wanted to know what methods Mrs. Minagawa used to destroy all the evidence so quickly and ensure that the police would not suspect him!
Or maybe, in fact, the other party had no confidence in hiding the truth from the police, and was just deceiving him, trying to make him lose his composure and thus affect the police's judgment?

And a private detective? Why had he hardly seen him since the crime?
Did the other party find some new clues and is investigating, or did he leave temporarily for some reason?
While thinking, Conan turned his gaze back to Mrs. Minagawa, "Okay, then I'll show you the real evidence and make you give up completely! Officer Megure, please send someone to check the cake plate and the sewer outlet, so that our lady will know what it means to be unscrupulous and not let anyone slip through!"

Whether it is to make the real criminals be punished by law or to verify your own reasoning, testing things like coffee cups and cake plates is very necessary!
He wanted to see whether Mrs. Jiechuan could still make excuses when she got the test results!
As for the fact that the test takes a certain amount of time, by the time the test results come out, Kogoro Mouri, who was knocked down by his anesthetic injection, would probably have woken up long ago. By then, even if he got evidence against Mrs. Minakawa, he would have no tool to use?

Oh, not to mention that once the presence of toxins is detected in places like the coffee cup and the sewer outlet, Mrs. Minakawa will have no choice but to plead guilty. She will say that without new anesthetic needles, he can't let go of Kogoro Mouri, turning him into the 'sleeping Kogoro' and allowing her to drive him at will?
What a joke!
Things are dead, people are alive.

Methods are determined by people. As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems!
Without the anesthetic needle, he could use other things to "force" Kogoro Mouri to fall into a deep sleep.

For example, things like ashtrays!

After looking at Kogoro Mouri, who had a serious and well-founded look on his face, and then looking at the people around him with complicated expressions, Inspector Megure's eyes flickered slightly.

This time, Kogoro Mori's reasoning is logically clear, and there are no major flaws in his methods and motives.

In other words, the truth of the matter is most likely just as the other party said, that it was Mrs. Minagawa who poisoned Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu.

Even though he was somewhat reluctant to believe that the gentle and virtuous lady in front of him would be a murderer, the confident attitude of his younger brother Kogoro Mouri and the other party's brilliant reasoning made him have to doubt her.

Thinking of this, Officer Megure nodded gently, "Okay!"

The coffee cups were just taken for inspection not long ago, and now sending people to inspect the cake plates and the sewer outlets is just a matter of convenience. It won't affect anything. It just takes a little more effort.

However, as long as the truth can be revealed in the end, the real murderer of this murder can be brought to justice and receive the punishment he deserves, all the hard work and efforts will be worth it.

Moreover, like everyone else present, he also wanted to know whether his brother Kogoro Mori's new reasoning was correct, and whether Mrs. Minagawa was really the real murderer of this murder!

……

"Officer Megure, according to the inspection, we found a large amount of poison residue in the coffee cups used by Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu, but no poison residue was found in the cups of others! In addition, no traces of toxins were detected in the chocolate left at the scene or at the sewer outlet..."

"As for the chocolate found on Mrs. Minagawa, after comparison and testing, and with Ms. Watanabe Yoshimi's confirmation, it can be confirmed that it is not the chocolate she gave to Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko, and no poison residue was detected in it..."

While Conan and others were waiting, after a while, a forensic officer in police uniform came over and announced the police's test results.

Hearing this, Conan couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief and disbelief, "How is this possible!"

How could his reasoning be so wrong!
——According to his reasoning, everyone’s coffee cups were filled with poison, but because the cake contained an antidote, the only people who were not poisoned were Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu, who did not eat the cake.

But now, the police test results told him that except for the coffee cups of Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu, no one else's cups were poisoned, and there was no antidote in the cake? Even the chocolate that was suspected to have been swapped was not the chocolate that Yoshimi Watanabe gave to Katsuhiko Minagawa?

Doesn't that mean that his previous reasoning is not valid?

In other words, this case was not as he reasoned, that Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu died at the hands of Mrs. Minagawa, but it was probably as a confused detective reasoned, that Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu killed each other? But is this really possible?
Not to mention, how could Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective known as the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era" and the "savior of the Japanese police", lose to the confused detective Kogoro Mori in reasoning, which is his best.

For example, at this Valentine's Day party, he was sitting next to Wakamatsu Toshihide. If Wakamatsu Toshihide and Minagawa Katsuhiko had poisoned each other's coffee cups, it would be impossible for him, a famous detective, to not notice anything.

However, he didn't notice anything wrong during the whole process, which was obviously very abnormal.

Excluding the possibility that Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu's small movements were covert and quick enough to hide from the eyes of a famous detective like him, there was only one possibility left.

That is, these two people did not die in infighting, but were killed by someone else!

Moreover, the murderer had already planned a clever way of killing people before they attended the Valentine's Day party, which is why this famous detective did not notice anything wrong when he attended the party.

Until...Wakamatsu Toshihide and Minagawa Katsuhiko both died of pesticide poisoning!
However, even though he knew this, he could do nothing about it now.

This is not only because he has no evidence to prove that Mrs. Minagawa is the real murderer, but also because after such a long delay, Kogoro Mouri has woken up and has gathered together with Inspector Megure and others. In front of everyone, it is not easy for him to knock the other person out and let him serve as his tool again.

Besides, it’s because…

"Inspector Megure! I know you are anxious to solve the case, but we did not detect any toxins or antidotes except for the coffee cups used by Katsuhiko Minagawa and Toshihide Wakamatsu, and the cigarette butts smoked by Katsuhiko Minagawa! So, please stop believing the nonsense of some detectives!"

The staff in the appraisal department had an extremely cold attitude.

The criminal has already confessed his guilt, so it's fine for a private detective to come and make comments.

After all, the criminal who originally confessed his guilt was not the real culprit who killed Katsuhiko Minagawa. He could only be considered as an attempted crime that the target should not commit.

——The so-called object impossible crime refers to a crime in which the perpetrator has begun to commit a crime, but due to the perpetrator's erroneous understanding, the criminal object targeted by the criminal behavior is not within the effective scope of the criminal behavior during the behavior process, or has some attributes that cannot achieve the crime completion, thus preventing the crime from being completed.

Simply put, the perpetrator commits a crime because he mistakenly believes that there is an object of crime, but in fact the object does not exist, resulting in the failure of the crime.

The man named Zhidao was forced to stop his criminal behavior due to external factors, and he was the one who could not commit the crime!

But the key point is that after a private detective came up with a new inference, not long after, he overturned his own inference and came up with a new inference, which also added new workload to their forensic class.

Thinking of this, the staff member of the forensic department glared fiercely at Kogoro Mouri next to him.

It is because their Inspector Megure listens too much to certain detectives that the Metropolitan Police Department has become infamous. He is even described by the media as a useless person who cannot solve cases without the help of detectives!
Moreover, the workload of their forensic class is already heavy, and they often have to work overtime until late for several weeks every month. As a result, this guy Kogoro Mori is making things worse. He repeatedly overturns his previous reasoning and adds unnecessary workload and work intensity to them. Who can stand this!

It can be said that if Kogoro Mouri was not an old acquaintance of their police chief and had not been an internal staff member of their police force before, he almost could not help but point at the other party's nose and scold him!

"Okay, I get it. Thank you for your hard work!"

Looking at the resentful eyes of his subordinates, Inspector Megure gave a dry laugh, feeling a little embarrassed.

Of course he knew why his subordinates had such a reaction. It was purely because they had encountered too many cases during this period and had to work overtime constantly.

However, although he felt a little sympathetic towards the other party's situation, it was impossible for him to give the other party a holiday directly.

After all, solving cases requires the help of forensic medicine classes.

Because the so-called forensic class is responsible for tasks such as collecting evidence at the scene of the incident, collecting fingerprints and footprints, and training police dogs.

Moreover, without the assistance of their colleagues in the forensic department, the police would be even more unable to get rid of the title of useless.

Not to mention, the forensic class has been working overtime recently, so it is true that he doesn't have much free time, but as a police captain, he is not idle either!
Thinking of this, Inspector Megure turned his gaze to Kogoro Mouri who was standing beside him.

Since the test results are out, and it proves that Mrs. Minagawa did not poison the coffee cup or put antidote in the cake, it means that Kogoro Mouri's reasoning this time is not valid.

In other words, Mrs. Minagawa is innocent and is not the murderer of this murder!

"Brother Maori, it seems that your reasoning this time has failed!"

Oh, I really don't know why Brother Maori overturned his own reasoning for no reason. Now not only does he become disliked by Mrs. Minagawa, but he is also blamed by his subordinates!
At this point, Inspector Megure paused, then looked at Mrs. Minagawa, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Minagawa, I made you suffer such a great injustice for no reason, but Brother Mori is also eager to solve the case, and I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive him this time!"
