Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 2157 2160 [Is this doctor serious?]

The curly-haired staff member was excited by his question: "I, I'll just take a photo - the game between the two kings must be quite exciting! I'm also a game fan, so of course I can't miss it."

 The tall and lanky man looked at him and suddenly remembered something: "You look familiar. Have we met somewhere?"

 Curly hair staff: “You remembered it wrong!”

The conversation between two game nerds is not eye-catching.

 The Mumu Police Department quickly lost interest in them and turned back to look at the surveillance.

　　Looking at it, I actually really took it in: "This competition is quite intense."

This game pursues "realism" very much. After entering the duel, all kinds of messy interfaces will be hidden, so even outsiders who know nothing about the game can understand it.

So from the perspective of the Mumu Police Department, there are two models fighting seriously on the screen, which is indeed more enjoyable than other flashy games.

But he is a veteran policeman after all. Compared to the big screen where the battle is going on, the Mumu Police Department is more sensitive to the surroundings of the deceased.

Suddenly he discovered a problem - a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat passed by the deceased's seat, lowered his head and picked something up. Then he stood up again and continued walking to the other side as if nothing had happened.

“Who is this?” The Mumu Police Department immediately paused, “So close to the deceased, he has a chance to poison!”

Jiang Xia took a look and said, "He should be a regular visitor here. He also introduced us to the glorious achievements of the two great kings, Mihua and Cupido."

Suzuki Sonoko remembered more: "He seemed to have complained a few times about the deceased. Does this count as a motive?"

“Of course.” Police Department Memu waved his hand and said to Officer Takagi, “Find this guest here immediately!”

Suzuki Sonoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief: now there were enough for three people. No wonder she always felt that something was missing before - as expected, too few suspects can also be confusing.

 …

So soon, there was another person in the staff room of the game hall.

The uncle with the felt hat watched the surveillance video and scratched his head helplessly: "I was picking up coins at the time. There was a vending machine nearby. I wanted to buy coffee, but as soon as I took out my pocket, the coins fell out and rolled right next to the deceased. So I can only go there to pick up a coin. How can it be related to murder.

"Besides, although I hate that guy's character, I admire his gaming skills. We don't have any quarrels. I can't kill him just because I don't like his personality. What kind of motive is this? "

The tall and lanky man chuckled: "No holiday? I remember one time when you were playing a racing game and he saw you overturning your car. He laughed at you - you were so angry that your face turned red, and your eyes looked like you were going to It's like he was torn into pieces."

The uncle in the felt hat also sneered: "So, your motives are stronger than mine - I remember that guy is the boyfriend of your precious sister."

This is indeed brand new information, the Mumu Police Department quickly said: "Elaborate!"

The old man in the felt hat said loudly: "His sister is in love with that guy Oto, and the two of them are inseparable every day. As an elder brother, who would want his sister to play with a gangster all day long? He must be getting angrier the more he thinks about it, Just take the opportunity to kill that man!”

The tall and lanky man retorted angrily: "It's none of my business who she likes to be with!" The old man in the felt hat ignored him. As a veteran who has lived in Tokyo for more than 40 years, he knew very well what "when running away, just run" Just get past the enemy.”

 So he turned around to expose the shortcomings of another person.

The old man in the felt hat pointed at the curly-haired staff member at the police: "As for the motive, this guy has quite a lot. Don't look at him as a submissive now. In fact, half a year ago, he had a well-known name - he was known as 'Mihua' Patela of the town'!"

Jiangxia: “…”

 Suzuki Sonoko: “…”

 Mao Lilan: “…”

Mumu Police Department: "Send...what?"

“Patra, like Caesar and Lucas, is a character in that fighting game.”

The uncle in the felt hat glanced at the curly-haired staff member: "This 'Patra of Rice Flower Town' challenged the deceased six months ago, but was beaten to a pulp. He is no better-looking than today's 'Lucas'.

"He has disappeared since then. We thought he had quit the gaming industry. Unexpectedly, he changed his hairstyle and went to work in the game arcade where the deceased often came. Maybe today's death was his plan after half a year of hiding. .”

　　The curly-haired staff member’s face became even more ugly: “I didn’t kill anyone!”

This defense appears particularly weak because it appears so many times.

At this moment, the police officer from the forensics department ran over and said to Jiang Xia: "As you said, we did detect toxins from the body of the deceased - it was pufferfish poison!

“The insertion site was on the inside of the right upper arm, and the needle hit the deceased’s artery, so the poison should have spread quite quickly.”

Suzuki Sonoko sounded familiar: "Tetrodotoxin?"

Judy Stelling laughed and suddenly said: "Tetrodotoxin can be fatal if ingested 0.5 to 1 mg. The lethal dose is only 1/500 of potassium cyanide. It is really a terrible poison—if taken orally, In this case, this toxin enters the body relatively slowly. If you send the patient to the hospital in time, there is hope of rescue. But if it is injected directly into the blood vessel, the victim's nerves will be quickly paralyzed, and he will die quickly in a short period of time."

—It seems that it is impossible to defeat Jiang Xia in the game today. In this case, at least we must leave an impression on him.

However, after she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Xia from the corner of her eye, and saw that Jiang Xia didn't show much "You're so awesome!", "How did you know?!" or other admiring expressions. Instead, it seemed as if someone had said something in his ear. Just like "Ice is made of water" - a piece of nonsense that can be completely ignored.

　　Judy: "..." In this kid's eyes, these must be completely equated with common sense... No wonder he doesn't come to class every day, instead he studies some messy things outside!

 The confident foreign teacher was a little embarrassed for a moment, but fortunately there were others to support him. Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were surprised: "How do you know?"

Judy smiled and said: "A friend of mine who is the school doctor told me because you often eat pufferfish here, and he asked me to be careful not to get poisoned."

 A suspicious look quietly observed her in the dark.

Conan: "…" It sounds reasonable at first glance, but when a serious doctor talks about this topic with a friend, he should focus on accidentally ingesting pufferfish poison. But what this teacher Judy said was like they were talking about **** people by injecting pufferfish poison...
