Chapter 231: Bumped into Four Plague Gods at Once!
Chi Feichei received the Coin and flicked it with his finger.
The Coin flew up, arced through the air, and landed steadily inside Hongi Maiue's Hoodie behind her.
Hattori Heiji and Kudo Shinichi turned their Heads, were Speechless for A Bit, and the Same smile appeared on their mouths.
"I See, it was there!"
"Then, we have the Evidence..."
"What?" Inspector Megure looked towards Hongi Maiue in surprise, "Could it be that the Murderer who poisoned was Miss Maiue?"
Hongi Maiue was Speechless, "Hey, don't talk nonsense..."
"Then why didn't you quickly Take Out the Coin?" Hattori Heiji Step Forward, pulled Hongi Maiue's Hat, letting the Coin fall completely, then used a Handkerchief to Take Out the Coin, "Is it Because you were worried about getting Potassium Cyanide on your Hand? Some of the rust on the ten-yen Coin has come off, This Is because of the oxidation-reduction reaction that occurs when Copper encounters Potassium Cyanide. As Long As the Police check inside your Hat, they Should be able to find the Potassium Cyanide Component, and This Is the Evidence!"
"It could also be that the Murderer put it in my Hat..." Hongi Maiue said quickly.
"Impossible," Kudo Shinichi Interrupt, although the Reasoning Process of finding Evidence first was A Bit Weird, But considering Chi Hissashi was involved, it wasn't Weird anymore, and he said with Confidence, "Miss Maiue revealed more than Just This Point!"
Hattori Heiji was about to speak when he Suddenly saw Chi Hissashi Go Downstairs the Stage, "Hey?"
"This Is Kudo's Home ground, I Don't Want To steal the show," Chi Hissashi said without Turning Head.
"Also Correct," Hattori Heiji laughed, handing the Handkerchief and Coin together to the Police Officer next to him, Turning Head to Kudo Shinichi and Saying, "The rest is Entrust To you!"
These two Fellows...
Kudo Shinichi had Black Lines on his Forehead, especially Chi Hissashi, who had Already stolen enough of the show. He suspected Chi Hissashi's departure was purely Because he was too lazy to Deduce. Never Mind, at least he could still leave him A Bit, "Let me first talk about Miss Maiue's Crime Method..."
Among the Surrounding Area Public, there were many fangirls.
"Who do you think won?"
"Of Course it's Senior Chi..."
"So much Grace..."
"They really are giving Kudo Face..."
Belmode: "..."
Stop it, she suspected Raki deliberately stepped back to Observe Kudo Shinichi's Reasoning Ability...
She even worried that Raki suddenly walked away Because he wanted to report to the Organization.
Fortunately, Chi Hissashi Just went to the Aside and didn't Leave, quietly Watching Kudo Shinichi Deduce.
The Murderer was Hongi Maiue.
First, she added the Poison to the Ice Cubes, sealed them with Ice, then put them in her Wallet, adding Dry Ice to ensure the Ice Cubes didn't melt, and brought them here.
When buying Beverages, she put the poisoned Ice Cubes in both cups of 'Iced Coffee'.
The Deceased, Kohei Kamata, didn't die from drinking the poisoned Beverage, But Because he habitually bit the Ice Cubes Afterwards drinking the Beverage and ate the Poison, which is Why he died of Poisoning only when the Beverage was almost finished.
And Hongi Maiue Just had to quickly finish her Beverage, hold the Ice Cubes added to her Cup in her Mouth, pretend to eat them, secretly spit them into her Palm, and hide them in the Hat behind her.
If the Poison was placed in the middle of the Ice Cubes, Even If she held them in her Mouth for A Bit, they wouldn't melt completely immediately and cause Poisoning.
During this Period, what Hongi Maiue Unexpectedly was that the Iced Coffee was swapped with Cola by Ayako Ninagawa. She didn't add the Creamer and Honey, which Indicate she knew it wasn't Coffee in the Cup early on. She would only Discover This Is when she bought the Beverage, Opened the Cup, and added the poisoned Ice Cubes.
Otherwise, when she came back, the Performance had Already started, the Lights in the Venue were turned off, the Audience Seats were Pitch Black, and she wouldn't be able to distinguish Whether or Not it was Cola or Coffee inside Even If she Opened the Lid.
Besides the Potassium Cyanide Component in the Hoodie Hat, the Police also found the Wallet she used to carry the poisoned Ice Cubes and Dry Ice.
"However, to be able to Guess that Miss Maiue put the poisoned Ice Cubes in her Hat," Inspector Megure Turned Head to Look Towards Chi Hissashi by the Stage, "You Fellow are really quite Intense."
Belmode, who was Watching Leave from afar, muttered inwardly: Of Course, That's Enough, This Is a Poisoning Expert. She still hasn't been able to figure out how Raki poisoned her Last Time.
"Yes, I also Unexpectedly I would actually be seen through," Hongi Maiue Turned Head to Look Towards Chi Hissashi, "Who exactly are you? Are you also a Detective?"
Chi Hissashi was Silent for A Bit. Why did this line always come up?
"Chi Hissashi, a Veterinarian."
Uh? Hey?
Hongi Maiue: "..."
Inspector Megure was Speechless for A Bit, But he had heard it once Before and was Already used to it, not finding it Weird anymore...
"Cough, he's also a Disciple of me, Famous Detective Mao Li Xiaowulang!" Mori Kogoro spoke decisively to gain some Reputation.
He was also helpless, these three troublesome Fellows here didn't rely on Commissions to make a living, But he had to eat this bowl of the Detective profession...
"I See," Hongi Maiue lowered her Head and said with a bitter smile, "Today is really unfortunate, to actually encounter so many Detectives at the Crime Scene..."
Inspector Megure Default Assumption the 'unfortunate' Statement. Wasn't it? Mori Kogoro, Kudo Shinichi, Chi Hissashi, Hattori Heiji... bumped into four Plague Gods at once!
"Then, Miss Maiue, you admit to Poisoning and killing Mr. Kamata, is that right?" Wataru Takagi stepped forward and Asked.
"It was me..." Hongi Maiue admitted.
"But Why?" Yumemi Noda was confused, "Why did you kill Kamata?"
"Because that Man doesn't deserve to be a Doctor at all!" Hongi Maiue said hatefully, "You all know about his Theory, right? To prove that Theory, he Intentionally gave the wrong Medicine to a Serious Illness Patient, causing that Patient to die!"
The others were Silent.
Hongi Maiue Turned Head to Look Towards Ayako Ninagawa, "I heard him accidentally let it slip when Miss Ayako canceled her Engagement with him and he was heavily drunk. That Man not only didn't have A Bit of guilt, he also resentfully said: 'I, who can casually dispose of Human Life, was actually dumped by a Little Girl, what a foolish World!', So I stole the Potassium Cyanide from the Hospital Laboratory to make him Understand that a Doctor who treats Human Life like Grass like him is the one who Should die the most..."
"Then the one who put the Potassium Cyanide Bottle on Mr. Kamata's Instrument Panel..."
"Yes, that was also me..."
...
Chi Hissashi quietly Left and went to the Trash Can to Throw Garbage.
In the Crowd in the distance, Belmode quietly paid Attention To him with A Glance. Seeing that Chi Hissashi was Just going to Throw Garbage, she was relieved in her Heart and withdrew her Line of Sight.
She also didn't dare to Stare for too long, lest she be Discovered...
Haibara Ai, standing in the Shadow by the Stage, hesitated for A Bit, but still didn't follow. She had to play Conan well.
Chi Hissashi saw that Haibara Ai didn't move and didn't Care About it.
At the Present, Belmode might be Staring at him somewhere. If Radar Ai entered Belmode's Line of Sight, she might have a reaction and get Scared again.
He Threw Away the Empty Snack Bag that Mori Kogoro and Kazuha Toyama had eaten Just Now, and also poured the Onigiri Remains into a Bag and Threw it in.
The Bento Box still had to be returned to the Households, he couldn't Throw it away.
...
Over There, Kudo Shinichi Suddenly fell to the Ground unconscious, and the Scene was chaotic.
Chi Hissashi didn't follow, Watching Leave as A Group of People sent Kudo Shinichi to the Infirmary.
Now it seems that if there are too many People around and it's too messy, As Long As she isn't being Stared at or paid Attention To, Radar Ai isn't that Keenness. She didn't sense Belmode at the Memorial Service Last Time either.
He had to delay Belmode to prevent Radar Ai from sensing Belmode's existence.
Belmode Indeed didn't Leave. She had to first ensure that Raki wouldn't report to the Organization.
About half an Hour Afterwards, after Confirming that Kudo Shinichi was fine, the Crowd dispersed.
Shinde Tomoaki walked out of the Infirmary, saw Chi Hissashi, walked over, and Asked with a smile, "Aren't you going in to Check?"
"Not familiar," Chi Hissashi replied.
"You really are..." Shinde Tomoaki smiled helplessly, "If you Don't Care About it, Why are you Waiting Here?"
"Nothing will happen anyway," Chi Hissashi said.
"Yes, Nothing happened, he Just Suddenly fainted, Probably from Excessive fatigue," Shinde Tomoaki took the initiative to Invite, "I also have Nothing to do anymore, Whether or Not we should find a Place outside the School to sit? We haven't seen each other for a long time..."
Chi Hissashi didn't object and started Walking Towards the outside, "How was Doctor Yoshiteru's Funeral?"
"It was already held simply."
"Sorry, I was busy Recently and couldn't go."
"It's okay, you've Already helped a lot Before..."
...
Belmode followed, and upon Discovering that the two were Just going to a Dining Room to chat and eat, and that Chi Hissashi showed no Sign of Contacting the Organization, she Left.
It seems Raki still wants to Confirm again...
At the Same time, the FBI who were Staring at Shinde Tomoaki were also Waiting in the Car outside the Dining Room.
"The two Goals have made Contact," Jodie said in a low Voice, "Could People from the Organization be in the Surrounding Area?"
"Not sure, But the Relationship between the two looks Indeed good," Akai Shuichi Glanced at the two People in the Dining Room, "Moreover, If People from the Organization wanted to Start Doing something, it Should be soon."
Chi Hissashi vaguely felt someone Staring at his side, But he still acted like Nothing was wrong, Watching Shinde Tomoaki talk to Hissashi for A Bit, and also chatting with Shinde Tomoaki for a couple of Words.
The two ate their Meal, parted ways, and went Home separately.
There were no longer any Surveillance People in Chi Hissashi's House Neighborhood, making it much more Convenient to Go Out.
After it got Dark, Chi Hissashi changed his Face to that of a General Man, went to Beika Town, and in the Shadow of a House near Kudo Shinichi's House, he was Staring at the Window with the Light on.
"Will Belmode really come?" Hissashi poked his Head out.
"Yes," Chi Hissashi was very sure.
"What If she doesn't come?" Hissashi Asked.
"If she doesn't come," Chi Hissashi Looked Towards the Villa where all the Lights were extinguished and was Envelop in Darkness, "Wait another ten Minutes, House Search, Confirm the Situation, and report to the Organization."
Hissashi choked, it wasn't sure Whether or Not Chi Hissashi was Confident Belmode would come, or if he really Intention to sell out Kudo Shinichi. Just as it was about to Ask, it Suddenly Discovered a Fast-moving Heat Signature, "Here they come! Someone is Approaching, the Speed is so Fast, Could it be they're Planning to Assassination you, Master? Huh? The Person climbed over the Wall from Over There and went in?"
Chi Hissashi stood Behind the Utility Pole, Confirming that Firelight could not be seen from Over There, lowered his Eyes, and lit a Cigarette.
He Probably Guessed how Belmode intended to do it.
In the Villa Room, Afterwards Kudo Shinichi changed back, he was full of Joy and had been excited all Day. Just as he fell asleep, he vaguely heard a slight Sound. Before he could even Open his Eyes, he fell into a daze and fell asleep in the White Smoke.
Belmode climbed in through the Window, wearing Kudo Shinichi's Face and Teitan High School's male School Uniform, went out through the Room Door, went Downstairs all the way, exited the Villa, and walked slowly towards an Alley as if taking a stroll.
Five Minutes Afterwards...
Belmode quickly Turned Around and turned into Another Alley Entrance, Turned Around, and quietly reached for the Gun under her Clothes, preparing to Scare the Person who was Tracking her.
Click...
Behind her, the Sound of a Bullet being chambered came.
Belmode: "..."
