Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

"The Mumu Police Department and the Ministry of Transportation said that there was an error in the format of today's surveillance video and they are looking for someone to repair it."

Ten minutes later, Takagi Sheba came back with his cell phone.

"There is an error in the video format?"

Mu Mu Shisan looked confused:

"This has never happened before!"

The Ministry of Transportation's street video is connected to the national network and uploaded in real time. Apart from hardware damage, there are few technical problems.

Now they are investigating the case of Akutagawa Ichippo and need to use the surveillance video, but they are told that the video cannot be retrieved. This is very strange.

"I don't know why either."

Takagi Sheba shook his head:

"The entire Mihua Town video cannot be played back. It should be a problem with the Ministry of Transportation."

"That's it"

Mumu Shisan pondered for a moment and decided not to worry about the video for the time being. He didn't expect to find any clues from the surveillance video anyway.

Forensic class.

A large-scale investigation and evidence collection was soon carried out in the villa, but nothing strange was found, whether it was the door handle or the footprints on the floor.

Not to mention fingerprints, not even a hair was found.

"Huh, let me just say I can't find anything."

Ogawa Reiko curled her lips:

"You policemen, you can follow the wind. I admit that Detective Maori does have two brushes, but who can sneak into the villa quietly and change the medicine bottle? Do you think the prisoner is Takeda Butler?"

"Young Madam"

Butler Takeda's expression changed, and he turned to look at Ogawa Reiko, thinking that ten thousand alpacas were galloping past.

Considering the current situation, he seems to be the biggest suspect.

If anyone could exchange Akutagawa's medicine bottle quietly and without leaving any traces.

Apart from him, there are only chefs, maids and other people employed in the villa.

But the problem is.

The chefs, maids, etc. in the villa usually never come to the third floor!

Akutagawa has a mysophobia and needs to rest, so cleaning is only available in the morning and evening. No one will come here at noon.

"Brother Mori, is it possible that there is something wrong with Akutagawa's lunch?"

Seeing that the investigation had no results, Mu Mu Shisan said:

"If the prisoner added quinidine to his meal, it would have the same effect, wouldn't it?"

"That's true, but Mumu Police Department, have you ever thought about it, if the prisoner poisoned the food, why would he need to change the medicine bottle?"

Kogoro Mori said:

"Isn't this unnecessary?"

"Um"

Mu Mu Shisan frowned and thought hard, unable to come to a conclusion for a long time.

He couldn't figure it out either.

Conan stood at the edge, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, scratching his head and ears, wishing he could take action immediately and inject the anesthesia needle into the back of Mouri Kogoro's neck.

He already knew who the culprit was, but Sakaki asked him not to act rashly, leaving the stage to Mouri Kogoro, and there was also a Bourbon who was staring at him eagerly.

no!

If this continues, uncle will not be able to stand it anymore!

Conan knew that he had key information, but Mouri Kogoro didn't know about it. If he didn't tell it, no matter how powerful Mouri Kogoro was, he wouldn't be able to figure it out!

"Sister, sister, I'm so thirsty!"

The perverse voice attracted the attention of Mouri Kogoro, Megure Jusan and others.

They turned around and saw Conan standing in front of Assistant Ogawa Reiko, saying anxiously:

"Sister, do you still have water?"

"water?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Little brother, what are you talking about?"

"Sister, you went out for 20 minutes and bought the water specifically for Sister Reiko!"

Conan blinked his copper bell-sized eyes and said:

"I saw it! You left for a full 20 minutes before you came back with a bag of drinks. There must be something delicious in it! And even the towel you took out is gone!"

The assistant's expression changed subtly, the smile froze on his face, and he looked at Conan in shock.

Which pot is not opened and lifted?

Conan's words made Mouri Kogoro enlightened. His eyes lit up and he immediately asked:

"Miss Reiko, why did your assistant leave the shooting scene for 20 minutes?"

"Go buy water for me, didn't this kid say that?"

Ogawa Reiko said disapprovingly:

"I only drink fillico natural mineral water. This water is only sold in specialty stores. I ask Yuqi to prepare it every time. Today's shooting was too long and I ran out of water. Of course I asked her to buy it! "

"Yes, the young lady does have this habit."

Takeda Butler confirmed Ogawa Reiko's statement.

The chefs and maids working in the villa nodded one after another, obviously knowing about this.

"Then you don't need to leave for the whole 20 minutes."

Mouri Kogoro narrowed his eyes and said:

"The office you work in is in Ginza, and Ginza is the most luxurious business district in Tokyo. Here you can buy almost all the products you want. Since you have to drink a specific mineral water every time, you must be the same as the one who sells it. Contact the store that sells mineral water. Isn’t 20 minutes a bit too long?”

"Hey, what is Fillico natural mineral water?"

Kidd asked in a low voice:

"Why haven't I heard of this brand?"

"Hiroki said this is a low-hardness natural mineral water produced in Kobe. It is known as the most luxurious mineral water in the world. It is specially customized by a wedding dress brand called Yumi Katsura. It costs 100 meters per bottle and is limited to sales every month. 500 bottles.”

Sakaki's voice came from the headphones:

"I always thought that such expensive mineral water was for decoration, but I didn't expect anyone to actually drink it. Tsk."

This short word "tsk" fully expresses Sakaki's envy, jealousy and hatred.

Rich people are different and drink better water than ordinary people.

But

A 100-meter bottle of mineral water, are you sure you didn't sell it to a rip-off?

Just buy two bottles for decoration and that’s it, I drink it every day!

What family?

"Although that store is not far from the office, I still have to walk there."

Assistant Miss Youqi smiled awkwardly and said:

"Twenty minutes is already the fastest speed."

"Brother Maori, there's something fishy about this!"

Mu Mu Shisan looked puzzled:

“It takes at least 40 minutes to drive back and forth from Ginza to Rice Flowers 2-chome. It’s impossible to drive there and back in 20 minutes!”

Frowning, Mouri Kogoro did some mental calculations and found that this was indeed the case.

It takes 20 minutes to go back and forth from the office to the villa one way, and you still drive. Unless your assistant Youqi has wings, it will definitely be impossible to return to the office within the time limit.

but.

That being said, what if the prisoner used some special technique?

Is it impossible to achieve criminal methods that are beyond common sense?

"Memu Police Department, please contact the store where Ms. Yuqi purchased Fillico mineral water immediately and ask them."

"Did Ms. Yuqi buy mineral water between 2:30 and 3 o'clock this afternoon?"
