The people present at today's dinner are basically famous figures in the Japanese entertainment industry.

And most of the guests present knew Takao Ohga, a very famous plastic surgeon in the industry.

They looked at Takao Ohga sitting on the ground with a pale face.

Then he looked at Sera Masumi, who looked very skilled and had just helped with chest compressions. He was now lowering his head and exuding a strong aura of despair.

They all realized that the person lying on the ground at this moment should be dead.

Many guests around him covered their mouths with livid faces.

The atmosphere of the dinner party, which was full of cheerful atmosphere, was completely destroyed in an instant.

"well--"

Sera Masumi sighed, cheering up from the disappointment of not being able to save his life.

Then he slowly walked to the side of the dead fat man and squatted down.

She reached out and lifted the man's plump chin, and saw very clear half-moon-shaped pinch marks on the man's neck.

It was obviously impossible for a man to be strangled to death in public.

In addition, when Sera Masumi heard the scream and ran over just now, she also noticed the man who fell on the table clutching his neck with both hands.

Then this pinch mark can only come from the man himself.

Sera Masumi turned to look at the woman sitting at the same table with the dead man.

Among the guests at this table, she was the only woman.

So Sera Masumi guessed that it was most likely her scream.

"Is it you who screamed just now? Can I ask your name?"

Sera Masumi looked at the woman and said.

"Yes, my name is Souma Miho, who is yours?"

Souma Miho reported her name, and then looked at the "handsome guy" in front of her with confusion, not understanding why 'he' asked her name.

"My name is Sera Masumi, and I am a detective."

Sera Masumi said her name in Conan's classic tone.

The people around them looked a little moved after hearing Sera Masumi calling herself a detective.

When Takao Ohga, who was sitting on the ground, heard Sera Masumi calling herself a detective, a slightly surprised look appeared on his sweaty cheeks.

"Mr. Sera, you are asking me my name. Do you think I am the murderer?"

Miho Soma is a well-known director in the industry, and her head is naturally very fast.

After she realized Sera Masumi's intention of asking her name, the look of surprise on her face quickly turned into an expression of disgust in a short period of time.

"Is it possible that you have determined that Mr. Kosaka was killed?"

"No, I'm just curious about your name, Ms. Souma. After all, you should be the first witness to the moment Mr. Kosaka fainted."

Sera Masumi learned the last name of the deceased through Souma Miho's question, and incidentally answered Soma Miho's confusion.

"Can Ms. Soma please describe what just happened?"

"We were eating together normally, and then Mr. Kosaka suddenly looked a little strange for some reason, and then he grabbed his neck tightly with both hands."

"We were all a little stunned at first because of Mr. Kosaka's reaction, thinking he had choked on something to eat."

"When I came back to my senses, I found Mr. Kosaka falling on the table with a thump."

"Um"

Sera Masumi heard Souma Miho finish telling,

He confirmed that the other party's description was consistent with what he saw after Kosaka's death when he rushed over.

"Excuse me, does Ms. Souma know whether Mr. Kousaka has heart disease?"

"Huh? Heart disease?!" Souma Miho looked surprised when she heard Sera Masumi's words, "I've never heard of it, and I've never seen Mr. Kousaka take medicine."

While Souma Miho was describing the situation, Conan came to the table where the deceased Kousaka, Souma Miho and others were dining.

He climbed onto the chair and began to observe the messy dining table.

After Souma Miho said this, she added:

"Although I know Mr. Kosaka, I'm not so familiar with him that I even know what diseases he suffers from."

"clear."

Sera Masumi nodded, then looked at Takao Ohga who was sitting on the ground.

After giving first aid just now, she had already asked Takao Ohga's name.

"Mr. Taiga just checked Mr. Kousaka's airway before giving artificial respiration to him, right? There shouldn't be any obstruction in the airway, right?"

"No."

Ohga Takao shook his head slightly, but did not look at Sera Masumi.

Sera Masumi noticed that there were very obvious scratches on the back of Ohga Takao's left hand.

Blood has begun to seep out from the wound, which is very obvious on Takao Ohga's delicate and delicate palm.

‘Is it because when you were doing chest compressions, you used too much force and the mechanical watch scratched the back of your hand? ’

‘It seems that he used a lot of force when performing chest compressions on Kousaka. He must have really wanted to save Kousaka’s life. ’

Masumi Sera thought in her mind, temporarily reducing the possibility that Takao Ohga was the murderer.

She put her fist to her upper lip and began to think.

"Mr. Kosaka was clasping his neck with both hands when he died. There are six causes of death that match this behavior. ’

‘One, breathing problems. ’

‘Two, heart attack. ’

‘Three, poisoning. ’

‘Four, nervous system disorder. ’

‘Five, neck injury. ’

‘Six, psychological factors. ’

‘At present, the last three situations can be directly ruled out. ’

‘In addition, according to Ms. Soma’s description, the possibility of a heart attack can be ruled out for the time being. ’

‘Since Mr. Kosaka’s airway is not blocked, it means that it is not "foreign body obstruction suffocation" caused by food or something stuck in the throat. ’

‘The remaining possibilities are only suffocation and poisoning caused by internal factors. ’

‘The former is most likely an accident, while the latter is most likely man-made. ’

Sera Masumi has just returned to Japan and has basically not encountered any accidental deaths.

So she is more inclined to consider the worst case scenario, that is, the cause of Kosaka's death is not an accident.

Sera Masumi came to the deceased Kosaka and opened his mouth.

Then he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, carefully observing the situation inside Kosaka's mouth.

‘The inner wall tissue, tongue, and throat were not damaged. ’

Sera Masumi turned to look at Conan and asked loudly:

"Boy, is there any trace of Kosaka's spit on the table?"

"No." Conan replied.

'If that's the case, it can't be a corrosive toxin. '

Sera Masumi continued to lean over and smelled the smell in Kosaka's mouth.

What came to her was a strong bad breath mixed with the smell of alcohol.

Sera Masumi frowned slightly, and after careful identification, she did not smell the familiar smell of toxins in Kosaka's mouth.

Note: In Japanese, "Mr." and "Miss" are both "Sang", and there is no difference in pronunciation.

The "Mr." and "Miss" described in the text are just to reflect the speaker's inner judgment of the other party's gender.
