Conan: Another Famous Detective

Akira Hanomiya, Conan, and Heiji Hattori gathered around the fallen Ikuro.

"The heart stopped beating, and the breathing and pulse also stopped." Yu Gongming said with some regret.

"It looks like it's a cyanic acid poison." Hattori Heiji said silently.

Conan turned to look at Xiaolan: "Sister Xiaolan, you must not eat those Baumkuchen!"

Xiaolan and Ye nodded quickly. After seeing the scene just now, as long as their IQs were normal, they would never touch those Baumkuchen cakes again.

Hattori Heiji stood up and said in a deep voice: "Call the police immediately. Also, no one can leave here for the time being!"

Everyone in the design company looked at each other and no one raised any objections.

…………

Officer Takagi looked at the notepad and narrated: "The deceased is Ikuro Wakamatsu, the son of Mr. Kohei Wakamatsu who was killed a month ago. The cause of death is initially presumed to be cyanic acid poison poisoning."

"The poison must be in the capsule, right?" Conan pointed to a cup of black tea on the coffee table and said, "Look, there is something like a capsule at the bottom of the black tea."

"I think the murderer sprinkled the poison on the Baumkuchen, and then secretly put the capsule into the black tea while our attention was attracted by the body, so that after the capsule dissolved, the fingerprints could no longer be detected."

Officer Megure came over to take a look and found the capsule at the bottom of the cup.

He turned to look at Wakamatsu Serinka and others outside the door: "Which of you had been near this cup of black tea at that time?"

"At that time, several detectives told us not to move around, so we all stayed near the coffee table..." General Manager Shiina replied.

"It can't be me!" Wakamatsu Serika said innocently: "I have never been close to the Baumkuchen from the beginning to the end, and that cup is my black tea!"

"The one cutting the cake is Miss Yonehara, right?" Fujinami asked.

"But Ms. Zuo Zhu was in charge of putting it on the plate at the time, and it was she who suggested that I cut it into eight equal parts!" Housekeeper Yonehara hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Cut into eight equal parts?" Officer Megure looked at Zuo Zhu with some doubts.

Zuo Zhu calmly adjusted his glasses and said, "There are seven guests here today, and my wife specifically asked Mr. Yulang to eat some cake first."

"Originally, there are usually portions for my wife and Mr. Shiina, who loves sweets. However, because there were many guests, after getting their consent, we finally cut it into eight equal parts, giving priority to a few guests and Mr. Ikuro."

"Is that so?" Officer Memu looked at the two parties involved.

"Yes." Wakamatsu Qinxiang nodded: "Since there are more guests, of course, the guests will be given priority to enjoy the cake. As for Ikuro, he has been complaining that he is hungry, so let him satisfy his craving first."

"Me too." Shiina said: "Although I love sweets, I often eat the Baumkuchen from that store, and I always bring one with me every time I come here. It doesn't matter if I don't eat it once or twice."

"Oh? Did you buy these cakes?" Officer Megure asked.

Shiina nodded: "Yes, I bought it when Fujinami and I came here together."

Mouri Kogoro suddenly frowned and looked at Fujinami: "Speaking of which, you said you had tried it on the road, right?"

"Uh, yes." Fujinami replied: "While I was waiting outside the store, Mr. Shiina handed the cake to me, and then he turned around and ran back to the store because he forgot to take the invoice."

"I was greedy for a moment, so I ate a small piece..."

He Ye suddenly realized when he heard this: "No wonder I always feel that my piece of cake is missing a little!"

Mouri Kogoro's eyes immediately became sharp when he looked at Fujinami: "So, you had every chance to sprinkle poison on the cake at that time!"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, okay?" Fujinami said angrily: "If I were the murderer, I wouldn't say that I tried it at all. And I didn't know that Mr. Ikuro was hungry at the time. How could he be on the annual ring in advance? The cake is poisoned!"

"Besides, when we parked the car, Manager Shiina took away the Baumkuchen first. He also had the opportunity to poison the car!"

Shiina's expression changed slightly, but she didn't say much.

After listening to Fujinami's argument, Mouri Kogoro looked thoughtful: "In other words, if the murderer wanted to poison Mr. Ikuro accurately, he should at least know that Mr. Ikuro was hungry... Then, why was Mr. Ikuro so hungry?"

Wakamatsu Serika replied: "It's because there is no soy sauce at home. Miss Yonehara spent some time going out to buy soy sauce, so dinner did not start on time."

"Who can predict that Mr. Ikuro is hungry?" Officer Megure asked.

"Me, Zuo Zhu and Miss Yonehara who were in the villa at that time should all be able to think of it." Wakamatsu Serika replied.

Mouri Kogoro touched his chin with a look of reminiscence: "I remember that Mr. Ikuro caught one of the two cakes that had not been plated yet and was still on the cake cutting tray. Is this how he usually eats it?"

"Yes, he said it tastes better this way." Mihara replied.

"Could it be that you knew this, so Miss Yonehara, you deliberately cut one of the cakes larger?" Hattori Heiji looked at Yonehara suspiciously.

Mihara immediately defended: "That's not true! I obviously cut it into eight equal parts! Aren't the cakes I gave you all the same?"

Officer Megure coughed and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, now we need to check the remaining Baumkuchen. After the search, can everyone wait in other rooms first?"

Naturally, everyone has no objection to this.

…………

Wakamatsu residence, in the study.

Wakamatsu Qinxiang sat at the desk with some distress and sighed: "This month's design order is about to be delivered, but now something like Ikuro has happened..."

"It seems like we won't be able to go back tonight." Shiina also looked a little sad.

"Hey! Isn't it? I still have work to finish!" Fujinami frowned immediately.

"I also have some documents that I want to sign and seal for you, Vice President. Also, the fonts and designs that need to be selected have been transferred to the computer here. Have you seen them?"

Wakamatsu Qinxiang showed a hint of dissatisfaction when she heard this: "Didn't I say before that you would show me the printed version?"

Zuo Zhu bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, because the president has asked me to handle it this way before."

Wakamatsu Serika said calmly: "This system is different from the one I work in. I can't use it at all... Forget it, I will take a look at it with the general manager later."

"That's right." Fujinami suddenly said: "The president's idiot son said that he wants to inherit the position of president, is it true?"

Shiina's expression also became a little complicated: "I was shocked when I heard it!"

Wakamatsu Qinxiang said without raising her head: "It should just be that child's wishful thinking."

Fujinami looked relieved when he heard this: "Phew! I didn't want to work under that idiot son, but I feel relieved now!"

"Hey! You guys!" Hattori Heiji couldn't stand the attitudes of these people.

"Don't go too far, you guys!" The door opened with a bang, and Mihara walked in with an angry look on his face, carrying a tray.
