Corpse collector in Conan

Inspector Yokomizo scratched his head in annoyance: "A kid wants to eat xiaolongbao. What does this have to do with the murder of a film producer who was poisoned? Or is the murderer really between you and the screenwriter?"

Jiang Xia returned to the round table where the murder happened just now: "It's hard to explain it just by talking. Why don't you sit down and take a look?"

Inspector Yokomizo: "..."

If it were a few minutes ago, he would only scold this disrespectful high school student and ask him not to destroy the scene, but now...

He is really a little curious about the murderer's way of poisoning.

Considering that when the police solve the case, they do use experiments to test whether certain methods are feasible. After a moment of hesitation, Inspector Yokomizo made a decision.

He simply waved his hand and said to others: "Sit back at the table and reproduce the scene when the deceased was poisoned!"

-That's right, this is not condoning the high school student detective to destroy the scene, it is just a necessity to solve the case.

…

Under the order of the police officer, the group returned to their seats in confusion, and then sat down in a row at the table according to the previous seating arrangement.

Conan had already understood by now. He whispered a few words to the waiter, then trotted back to the table and jumped onto the seat he had just sat on.

“I was just like this…” Conan was about to demonstrate the strange table-turning incident he had encountered before, but at this moment, Jiang Xia reached out and fiddled with the round table first.

Conan tried to turn the table but couldn’t match the other person’s strength at all, so he was forced to let go: “…”

Inspector Yokomizo looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, and suddenly, a fragrant hot air floated over from the side—the waiter brought a meat bun and brought it over.

"What are you doing?" Inspector Yokomizo looked at the waiter in confusion, "Is it time to serve the food now?"

The waiter was stunned and pointed at Conan: "But just now this kid said that Mr. Jiang Xia asked me to send a bun to this kid when he starts reasoning."

This sounded a little confusing, but Officer Yokomizo quickly understood it. His eyes twitched: "What does reasoning have to do with buns? I think this kid is probably hungry, so he is cheating for buns in the name of Jiang Xia."

Conan felt a little weak: "..." You are really half right.

He was just about to get away with it, but at this time, Jiang Xia stretched out his hand: "Give it to me, I was a little hungry just now."

Officer Yokomizo: "..." He was staring at Jiang Xia the whole time just now, and Jiang Xia didn't talk to the kid at all. It seems that the kid asked for buns in the name of Jiang Xia without authorization, and Jiang Xia helped him to bear it - it turned out to be a group of naive students, who could actually do these boring things at the crime scene.

Jiang Xia took the bun and put it in his mouth without even looking at it. Seeing this, the director suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Don't eat it carelessly!"

Everyone at the table was stunned, even Officer Yokomizo was frightened by him: "He just ate a bun, why are you yelling?"

The director snorted coldly: "I think he thinks he lives too long! - There was a poisoning case on this table just now, and he touched it here and there. What if he got potassium cyanide on his hands and ate it into his stomach along with the bun!"

Inspector Yokomizo: "..." Then yell at him, I'm not his guardian, why are you yelling at me, and besides...

Inspector Yokomizo cleared his throat: "The police officers of the forensic department have checked it. Except for the wet wipes of the deceased, there is no cyanide on other places on this table. He ate it, what can happen?"

Conan blinked his innocent big eyes: "He will probably die."

Inspector Yokomizo: "?!"

Ran Mouri: "?!"

The dizzy high school girl took time out of her busy schedule and raised her hand to slap him. With a whoosh, the bun flew out of Jiang Xia's hand and fell to the ground.

Where it landed, a group of people suddenly dispersed, looking at the innocent meat bun as if they were looking at a monster.

"..." Jiang Xia touched his numb hands, took a handful of wet wipes stuffed by Suzuki Sonoko, and wiped his fingertips as if nothing had happened:... Why do you believe everything Conan said?

Beside him, Inspector Yokomizo was still in shock: "What's going on? How did you get poison on your hands? Tell me clearly!"

Jiang Xia: "How do you usually turn the round table when you eat?"

Inspector Yokomizo said blankly: "Just turn it like this." He stretched out his finger, pressed the tabletop and pushed it casually.

Jiang Xia reached out to adjust the round table, and asked him again: "What about this?"

Inspector Yokomizo looked down in confusion and found that there were preserved eggs and scrambled eggs with shrimp in front of him. The two plates were very close to each other and very close to the edge of the table, so he couldn't press the tabletop and push it like before.

However, such a small matter certainly could not faze a wise human being. Inspector Yokomizo then grasped the thick edge of the round plate table... and then suddenly froze.

He suddenly let go of his hand, looked at his fingertips, and then looked at the round table in front of him: "Could it be... the poison is on the bottom of the round plate?! But how can the murderer be sure that the deceased will touch this place?"

Jiang Xia: "The deceased hated egg food very much. It is said that when he came here to eat, he specifically asked his companions not to order preserved eggs and fried eggs with shrimps - and just now, when he suddenly found these two foods on the table, the deceased showed more disgust than seeing a plate of insects."

Inspector Yokomizo asked several acquaintances of the deceased for confirmation: "Is this true?"

"Ah, yes, yes." The assistant director said quickly, "Kawabata is allergic to eggs, especially eggs with fishy smell. It is said that he wants to vomit when he smells them. Century eggs and scrambled eggs with shrimp... these should be the things he least wants to see in the world."

Jiang Xia nodded: "The deceased was busy chatting with Xiaolan before his death, and his attention was not on the round table. Once he looked at the table and saw two plates of eggs in front of him, he would undoubtedly turn the round table immediately and push these two disgusting foods away."

Inspector Yokomizo finally understood: "So the murderer specifically applied the poison to the bottom of the round plate where the two plates of eggs were, and then quietly turned the eggs in front of the deceased while everyone was busy eating. The deceased could only stretch out his hand and keep turning the eggs away. In the process, his hands would be stained with deadly potassium cyanide over and over again.

"After that, the Peking duck was served, and the deceased picked up the roll, and the potassium cyanide stuck to the roll. After eating the roll, he was poisoned on the spot and fell to the ground and died. "

Jiang Xia nodded like a pleased teacher: "So the timing of applying the poison is also very important - of the whole table of dishes, only the Peking duck needs to be directly touched.

"In this case, if the poison is applied too early, someone else may touch the cyanide first and be accidentally injured. If it is applied too late, the murderer will lose the opportunity to poison the deceased after he finishes eating the Peking duck."
