Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

Kudo Shinichi cast a look and his face became serious.

He also wanted to hear what reasoning Makoto Sakaki would say.

"To make it easy to understand, I will start from the first criminal in chronological order."

Makoto Sakaki took out a small bottle from the evidence bag, which was written with methadone hydrochloride.

"Around five o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Kawasaki brought heroin to Takizawa Akira's room and handed it to him."

"Because they are both drug friends, Mr. Kawasaki has always had a good relationship with Takizawa Akira, and the two of them used to get together to take drugs."

"Since Takizawa Akira's drug use was exposed, Ishikawa-san strictly ordered him to quit drugs and monitored him for a long time."

"During this period, Takizawa Akira has been relying on methadone hydrochloride prescribed by the hospital to resist drug addiction."

"That is the liquid in this bottle."

Makoto Sakaki raised the bottle a little higher so that everyone could see the words written on the bottle. It was indeed methadone hydrochloride.

However, the bottle is now empty.

"The so-called methadone hydrochloride has similar effects to morphine, has analgesic effects, and can produce respiratory depression, miosis, sedation and other effects."

"At the same time, it can also be used to quit drug addiction."

"Depending on the severity of drug addiction, taking a small amount of methadone hydrochloride every day, over time, you can quit heroin."

Mouri Ran asked in confusion:

"Since you can quit drug addiction, why doesn't Takizawa Akira continue to take the medicine?"

"This should be a good thing."

Sakaki Makoto sighed and said sadly: "If you can quit drug addiction, it is indeed a good thing, but the problem is that once the dosage of methadone hydrochloride is reduced, drug addiction will rise again, and even withdrawal reactions will occur."

There are also a few pieces of paper in the evidence bag, which are prescriptions issued by the hospital.

Makoto Sakaki asked Detective Tomi to show the prescription to everyone, and added:

"Based on the methadone dosage prescribed by the hospital, we can know that the hospital is deliberately reducing the amount of methadone that Takizawa Akira takes."

"And the prescription date on this bottle of medicine is yesterday, and the medication period is one and a half days."

"That is to say, Takizawa Akira just took methadone this morning, but did not go to pick up the medicine in the afternoon."

"It was already in the drug reduction period, and he did not take the medicine on time, which caused Takizawa Akira to have withdrawal reactions and drug addiction."

"So Takizawa Akira asked Mr. Kawasaki to bring heroin to him, and he had a good "refreshing" with him in the room."

"But what he didn't expect was that his drug friend, Mr. Kawasaki, came to kill him this time."

Makoto Sakaki showed an unfathomable smile and put the bottle in front of Kawasaki Soun, whose face changed slightly.

"And it was a perfect murder."

"What are you talking about? I, I don't understand."

Kawasaki Soyun's eyes dodged, hesitating and not daring to look at Makoto Sakaki.

Including the others, they all looked confused.

How could this be a perfect murder?

Didn't Mr. Kawasaki not do it?

Could it be that Mr. Kawasaki hung up Takizawa Akira's body?

Countless doubts arose in everyone's mind, waiting for Makoto Sakaki to answer.

Makoto Sakaki did not disappoint them and quickly gave the answer.

"Inspector Megure just said that the chemical composition of heroin is diacetylmorphine, which is the same as methadone and belongs to the morphine class of drugs."

"If you take heroin again while taking methadone, it will easily cause an overdose of drugs and cause death."

"And it is precisely because you know this, Mr. Kawasaki, that you will take heroin to find Takizawa Akira."

"But fortunately, Takizawa Akira is in the period of reducing the dosage. Today's medication is only half of the usual amount. Because he has to receive guests at night, he did not use intravenous injection, but used the hot suction method, so the dosage was not huge, and he survived by chance."

Before he finished speaking, Kawasaki Soun immediately panicked.

"You are talking nonsense!"

"I don't know what methadone is!"

Sure enough, he is still quibbling.

He doesn't know when he is about to die, which really makes people feel happy to destroy him.

For such vicious criminals, Makoto Sakaki will never show mercy.

Makoto Sakaki laughed and pointed at the prescription in the hand of Detective Tomi and said, "Since you don't know what methadone is, then you must have never drunk it?"

"What do you mean."

Kawasaki Soyun's momentum softened.

"Prescription drugs like methadone can only be consumed on the spot."

"And in Takizawa Akira's room, there was a bottle of methadone."

"This means that someone brought the methadone out through special means."

"If the police send someone to the hospital to inquire who received the methadone according to the prescription number, what do you think the result will be?"

"Will we find your name, Kawasaki Soyun, on the receipt of the hospital?"

Kawasaki Soyun opened his mouth and was speechless.

He did help Takizawa Akira to receive methadone, and more than once.

Because Takizawa Akira is a popular gigolo, he rarely has time to go to the hospital every day, so he always replaces him.

Just a few days ago, he found that the hospital's prescriptions began to reduce the dosage of Takizawa Akira's medication. As a frequent visitor to the hospital, he naturally knew that this would rekindle Takizawa Akira's drug addiction.

So he planned this perfect murder.

But he never expected that the perfect murder would be ruined by Minamoto Shigeharu.

If Minamoto Shigeharu hadn't done this, he wouldn't have failed.

His method is foolproof!

Even if Akira Takizawa survived by chance, he would not be suspected!

"Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Kawasaki?"

Sakaki Makoto asked calmly.

"Of course!"

"Even if I picked up the methadone for him, what basis do you have to say that I went to him with heroin?"

"What evidence do you have?"

"Alas"

Sakaki Makoto felt a headache. This kind of person is too stupid. He obviously has no way out, but he just refuses to plead guilty.

It's just a waste of time.

"Of course there is evidence."

"It's the bag you threw in the trash can at the back door."

Two small bags were placed in front of Kawasaki Soyun.

In an instant, Kawasaki Soyun looked ashen and collapsed on the sofa.

"You said you went to the back door to smoke, but you were actually destroying the evidence."

"Unfortunately, you chose the wrong place."

"Your fingerprints should be able to be checked on this bag."

The evidence is conclusive and there is no way to argue.

The evidence is solid and irrefutable.

Even if Kawasaki Soyun refuses to plead guilty, the police can arrest and prosecute him for malicious murder.

"It's all his fault!"

Kawasaki Soyun raised his head, his face grim, and roared: "If he hadn't blackmailed me, how could I kill him!!!"

"It's all his fault!"

"I was just protecting myself!"

The police carried Kawasaki Soyun, who was cursing and in an extremely unstable mental state, out and caught the first criminal.

The case was turned around so suddenly that Juzo Megure was a little bit unrecoverable.

"It turns out that Kawasaki Soyun is also a criminal"

Mao Lilan murmured.

"Humph! If you ask me, he is the culprit of this case!"

Sakaki Makoto said with a bad face: "If he hadn't set a precedent, how could such a tragedy have occurred!"

"Okay, the second murderer, Mr. Minamoto, do you still need me to make inferences?"

Minamoto Shigeharu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The little detective has already told me a lot about my crime process."

"After Kawasaki Soun left the room, I found that Takizawa Akira was not dead, so I strangled him with a belt."

"But I really didn't hang him up."

"Of course you didn't."

Sakaki Makoto suddenly said: "Because it was the third criminal who hung Takizawa Akira."

"I'm right, Mr. Fukuyama."
