I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

"I know! I can leave by myself!"

Shinichi said, and it took a lot of effort to pry his mother's hand away.

Putting on the helmet, his vision suddenly dimmed, but it had no effect on his actions.

Taking three steps at a time, he walked onto the stage along the steps and walked towards the princess who had been waiting for a long time.

Chapter 3: Eliminating hidden dangers for performance

　　On Monday, with the arrival of a new week, the campus festival of Didan High School also officially kicked off.

As a key school well-known in Rice Flower City and even in Tokyo as a whole, Teidan High School's school festival has always been very lively.

In addition to the students’ families, there are also nearby residents, curious tourists, and past graduates...

The amount of people flow is no less than that of a large-scale festival held in a city.

This is why the students of Teidan High School start preparing for the school festival a week or two in advance.

There are too many people here!

In order not to embarrass the school, they can only work hard and try to show their best side.

Most of the programs prepared by each class and club are held in their own classrooms.

Some, such as food stalls, will divide areas and set them up in outdoor areas.

The most spacious auditorium is used to perform some large-scale programs.

Not only the drama club, but also some music and dance clubs and performances by invited celebrity artists will also be here.

The drama club's performance was scheduled on the first day, which was the condition for Xinyi and Xiaolan to agree to help.

Rather than being dragged into a performance in the middle of the school festival, it's better to get it done early, and then you can have fun.

Due to the advance publicity, many people came to the auditorium to watch the play.

Not only were all the seats arranged, but there were also many tourists standing in the aisle behind.

Backstage, members of the drama club were busy making final preparations.

Seeing the huge crowds of people under the stage, Xiaolan, who was hiding behind the curtain, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

As a heroine, this is the first time for her to perform in front of so many people.

Even when she was participating in a karate competition, she had never been as nervous as she is now.

Her eyes subconsciously began to search for that familiar figure, seeking some comfort.

"Huh? Sonoko, have you seen Shinichi?"

……

"This senior! Can I ask for your contact information?"

A girl with a red face stopped Shinichi in his tracks.

"Sorry, I already have a girlfriend."

Rejecting the request with a polite smile, Shinichi continued walking forward without waiting for the other party's reaction.

He didn't know how many people he met along the way who came to strike up a conversation. The more straightforward ones were asking for acquaintance, while the more tactful ones were sneaking business cards into them.

He has become very proficient in this standard reply process.

The performance was approaching, but he didn't stay backstage to accompany Xiaolan. Naturally, Shinichi had something very important to do.

He is investigating possible safety hazards during the school festival!

As we all know, every time a festival is held in Mihua, at least one person will lose their life.

The increase in foot traffic also means an increase in the frequency of cases.

Coupled with his own death aura, Shinichi knew without even thinking that a case would definitely happen today!

Normally, he might not bother to take care of this kind of thing. At most, he would just solve it casually.

But today is different!

First of all, this is the first time Xiaolan has appeared in a play. Everyone, including acquaintances from the shopping street, Mouri Kogoro and Fei Eri, took the time to come and watch.

He will never allow any accidents to interrupt this performance!

Secondly, Shinichi also wanted to prevent any situation that might hinder his confession plan from happening.

That's right!He has decided that by the end of the drama performance, he will make a true confession openly and openly!

He wants everyone to witness this!

With the experience of failed confessions in the past few times, Shinichi has already solved several budding cases after going around the school.

After all, it is very convenient to kill people in such a crowded place.

Back in the auditorium, Shinichi walked towards the stalls selling snacks and drinks.

He was eliminating the last possible safety hazard.

After scanning around, he quickly found his target.

There is no way, there are really very few people who still have sad faces in this lively and cheerful festival atmosphere.

Not to mention that the other party was still staring nervously at the drink cup in his hand, almost with the words "I'm going to poison it" written on his face.

While the other party was picking up four drinks from the table, Shinichi also picked up a cup of Coke and greeted him.

In order to arrange as many seats as possible for the audience, the roads in the auditorium are relatively narrow.

In addition, he had to pay attention to avoid the people around him. Shinichi just pretended to be a little slow when turning sideways, and he naturally bumped into each other.

He held the Coke in his hand steadily, but the other person's four drinks spilled all over the floor.

"Sorry! Let me handle it."

Shinichi was the first to apologize, then squatted down, as if to clean up the cups and ice cubes on the floor.

"Ah! It's okay!"

Our murderer, Ms. Mai Hongshang, was not angry. She knew very well that she had been distracted just now. To be honest, she also had a lot of responsibility.

Afraid of being caught by the little tricks she was doing in the drink, she hurriedly squatted down too.

"Let me help clean up too!"

The two strangers wiped the water stains on the floor with a rag from the table nearby, neither of them intending to introduce themselves.

After a while, the spilled drink was wiped up. Hongshang Wuyi picked up the cup and carefully put the ice cubes back on the ground.

"It's so strange, it's actually hollow inside!"

Shinichi asked in surprise as he picked up a somewhat special piece of ice and shined it at the light.

"Do you know why there is this ice?"

"Ah this..."

Hongshang Wuyi's expression suddenly turned miserable, and he hesitated and didn't know how to explain.

What made her even more panicked was what Shinichi said next.

"I heard that some murderers would inject poison into ice cubes. Is this the case?"

While talking, Shinichi looked towards the opposite side intentionally or unintentionally.

"Tell me, should I call the police and let the police do a test?"

"Report, call the police?!"

· 0 for flowers · ·

The look of panic on Hongshang Wuyi's face was beyond words.

She never expected that the murder plan she finally came up with would be seen through at once!

Still, a high school student saw through it!

"That's right! Call the police! The surveillance equipment in this auditorium is quite comprehensive. If we investigate, we should be able to find out who put the ice in."

Shinichi continued to exert psychological pressure on the other party.

"Don't worry, I'm quite familiar with the people at the Metropolitan Police Department. I will definitely be able to find the person who poisoned you."

"no need……"

Hongshang Wuyi showed a wry smile, apparently giving up resistance.

"Actually, this is..."

“But it’s quite troublesome to think about it~”

Just when she was about to confess, Shinichi changed the subject and put the ice cubes in his hand into her drink glass.

"I really wish this kind of thing could be far away from school!"

In her puzzled eyes, Shinichi took his Coke and walked straight to the backstage.

 …  

After standing there in a daze for a long time, Hongshang Wuyi finally came back to her senses when all the ice cubes in the cup turned into liquid.

She understood that Shinichi had actually seen through everything, but he just didn't say it out loud.

As for the reason, maybe you want to give yourself a chance?

With this thought in mind, she left the auditorium with the drink cup containing cyanide in her hand.

Such dangerous things really shouldn't appear in places like schools.

She shouldn't have chosen to carry out her murder plan at school on the day of the school festival.

In other words, she shouldn't have thought of punishing the unscrupulous doctor by herself.

"We still have to go to the Metropolitan Police Department!"

Stepping out of the gate of Didan High School, Hongshang Wuyi smiled to herself.

In Mihua, although cyanide is easy to obtain, if it is not used to kill people, it will be very troublesome to deal with.
