Conan: Another Famous Detective

Mihara glared at Fujinami and the others: "Although Mr. Ikuro is relatively distant from everyone, it is an indisputable fact that he was poisoned!"

"Besides, the murderer who poisoned him is probably among everyone present. Can you please find out the situation?"

As she spoke, she slammed the tray of black tea in her hand onto the table.

"You're the one who doesn't understand the situation!" Fujinami said with a look of displeasure: "Now someone was poisoned just now, what do you mean by bringing black tea over again?"

Mihara did not show any weakness and said: "This is black tea brewed under the supervision of the police. If you don't want to drink it, you don't have to drink it!"

"You..." Fujinami glared at Yonehara, as if he wanted to continue the fight.

At this time, Conan said: "Miss Yonehara, it seems that the matter was not finished at that time, right?"

"Eh? What's the matter?" Mihara asked in confusion.

Conan replied: "It's a death message! You were the first person to discover the president's body. You should have seen the death message left by the president, right?"

"Oh! That's it!" Mihara suddenly said: "I did see it, I remember it seemed like some letters..."

He Ye's expression immediately changed and he exclaimed: "Could it be the letters [EYE]?"

"EYE?" Mihara looked confused.

"It should mean eyes." Hattori explained.

"But that's not what I saw!" Mihara said.

"Eh?" Kazuha and Hattori were stunned.

"Then what did you see?" Yu Gongming asked.

"It's the letter S." Mihara replied: "However, it seems that there are other characters written on it, but it was blocked by my hand and I couldn't see them clearly."

"It's actually [S], not [EYE]?" He Ye said in disbelief.

"Excuse me, what exactly is [EYE]?" Wakamatsu Serika asked in confusion.

Kazuha immediately informed Wakamatsu Serika about Osaka.

A look of uneasiness gradually appeared on Wakamatsu Serika's face: "This kind of thing happened at home in Osaka?"

"Wait a minute!" Hattori's eyes suddenly became sharp: "If I remember correctly, the designer Mr. Fujinami Junio, the general manager Mr. Shiina Masashige; the secretary Ms. Satake Yoshimi; and the president's wife Wakamatsu Serika Madam, doesn’t the first English letter of both the surname and the first name start with [S]?”

"Um...my name is Sakurako, so..." Yonehara said weakly.

"In other words, the only one whose first English letter is not [S] is Mr. Wakamatsu Ikuro." Mouri Kogoro said.

"In short, the most suspicious ones are Ms. Wakamatsu and you guys." Hattori Heiji said: "Let's start with Ms. Yonehara. What else did you do after you found the body?"

Mihara replied: "I didn't even think about it at the time. I immediately went to the living room and called my wife over."

"That's true." Wakamatsu Serika nodded and said, "Yonehara and I rushed over together and confirmed my husband's body. Then I asked Yonehara to call the ambulance and call the police immediately."

"Because the signal in our generation is not very stable, I asked her to use the phone in the study."

Mihara took over the conversation: "Yes, at that time, my wife also said that since Mr. Ikuro had not gotten up at that time, it would be more appropriate for my wife to call him in person."

"Madam also asked me to be careful and don't let others discover the misery of the master..."

"Then what? What happened after you made the call?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

Mihara replied: "I returned to the bathroom immediately after making the call. Mr. Ikuro was holding the master's body and crying bitterly, and those words were gone."

"Excuse me, are the tiles in the bathroom the same as those in the Osaka villa?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"Yes! They are all specially made by my husband." Wakamatsu Serika said: "However, my husband's villa in Osaka has begun to be renovated. The villa in Karuizawa has been temporarily blocked by the police due to a murder. After the seal is removed, It will also be demolished, and I’m afraid there won’t be a chance to see it again, right?”

Mihara's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Then where were you when the crime occurred?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"The vice president and I are in the living room," Zuo Zhu replied.

Shiina said: "Actually, there were many guests attending the vice president's birthday party that day. After the party, we were supposed to leave like the other guests."

Fujinami took over: "But the president stopped us and said that he had something very important to announce. We would just wait until he finished laying the bathroom tiles, so we stayed."

"We were all in the living room at the time."

Wakamatsu Serika said: "We played poker for more than two hours to wait for my husband."

Zuo Zhu pushed up his glasses: "Because of the [S] mentioned by the housekeeper, the four of us were the first to be suspected. The police also asked us many related questions."

"However, since the president's wallet has not been found, there is no trace of the murder weapon, and there are also signs of external intrusion, therefore, that [S] is considered to be the misunderstanding of the information by the housekeeper."

"Nagano Prefecture police are now investigating in the direction of external crimes."

Several detectives were lost in thought.

At this moment, Officer Takagi opened the door and walked in, saying: "Detective Mori, Detective Hanomiya, can you come out for a moment?"

"Huh?" Several detectives looked excited.

After Hanomiya Mouri agreed, they followed Officer Takagi and left the room. Conan, Mengyu, and Hattori also followed silently.

After arriving at the living room.

"What? You said all cakes are not poisonous?" Mouri Kogoro said in surprise.

"Yes, we checked every remaining piece of cake, and there is indeed no poisonous reaction." Officer Megure nodded.

"In other words, Mr. Ikuro ate the only piece of poisonous cake?" Hattori Heiji was also a little confused.

"Actually, there is another possibility." Yu Gongming said: "I remember that Mr. Ikuro sucked his fingers at the end of eating the cake. I can't rule out that he had poison on his fingers."

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up: "Eh? That's right! Why didn't I think of this method?"

"Don't be too happy too soon." Yu Gongming said calmly: "If you want to implement this technique, you must ensure that Mr. Ikuro did not wash his hands or wipe his hands with something before eating the cake."

"This..." Hattori Heiji frowned: "I remember that before eating the cake, many people seemed to have used the toilet, right? Including Kazuha and Xiaolan..."

"Then ask them to come out and ask!" Conan suggested.

After a while, Xiaolan and Ye also came to the living room.

"Eh? Besides me and He Ye, who else has used the toilet?" Xiaolan recalled for a while: "I remember that the person in front of us was Mr. Yulang. After he used the toilet, he immediately went to the living room."

"Are you sure Mr. Ikuro also used the toilet?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"Well! We both saw it, right He Ye?" Xiaolan looked at He Ye.

"Yes! Xiaolan is right!" He Ye nodded.

"So, did the murderer really poison the Baumkuchen?" Mouri Kogoro looked increasingly puzzled: "But, how did the murderer ensure that Mr. Ikuro would definitely get the poisoned cake?"
