Chapter 178 A Cocktail Full of Mystery - Reasoning
Conan interrupted at this time, "If that's the case, how could Uncle Moroka still come to this store to drink?"
"Or maybe Mr. Morooka was too lonely because his wife passed away, and the housekeeper couldn't stand it so he wanted to use money to ask Miss Yuri to be Mr. Morooka's lover."
Amuro Toru found this line of reasoning very funny. "After being rejected, did the butler poison the woman to vent his anger?"
Conan smiled helplessly, "That's not even possible to think about."
Maori Kogoro punched Conan on the head and said, "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking. Do you understand?"
Xiaolan came over and looked at Conan, "Hey, dad."
"By the way, when did Mr. Morooka start coming to this store?"
"Let me think about it. It started about half a year ago."
Amuro Toru looked at Inspector Megure, "That was around the time when his wife passed away, right?"
"Yes."
Inspector Megure looked over at Mr. Morooka, "But he doesn't look like someone who would find a lover."
Maori Kogoro shook his finger, "No, no, no, Mr. Morooka, you are very lustful."
"He looks like the kind of person who, when he was young, loved to spend his days in debauchery."
"Come to think of it, he often talks about his reckless 20s."
"I'll just say it."
"Did he say what it was specifically about?"
"I remember that he said he had a crush on someone and eloped with that woman. Then he lived in Tottori Prefecture for about four years."
"What? Elope with someone?"
"That old man is really good."
"But later, he was brought home by his parents and married his wife, to whom he had been engaged."
"And the housekeeper, Mr. Shengfukacho, came here with Mrs. Morooka. I heard that he originally worked at Mrs. Morooka's house, and it was Mrs. Morooka who asked him to come here."
Maori Kogoro looked at her and said, "So, what happened to the eloped partner who was forced to break up?"
"I don't know. I guess she probably asked for a large breakup fee. After all, Mr. Zhuogang's family has been rich for generations."
"Oh, oh, I remember that Satoshi's hometown is also in Tottori Prefecture. No wonder they always get along so well."
"That being said, I think Saina's hometown is also Tottori Prefecture."
"Yes, that's right. She seems to be trying to hide it, but sometimes she lets it slip."

Officer Takagi was asking Miss Sana about the situation when suddenly Sana's cell phone rang.
"My dad is calling me, can I pick up the phone?"
"Oh, of course."
"Hello? Dad, um, sorry, I'm a little busy right now."
"What? What's going on?"
"Ah, hey, didn't I tell you that you don't need to worry about money now? Dad just needs to focus on recuperating."
"I will definitely find a way to pay for the surgery, so don't worry."
"Dad, you won't die so easily. After all, we both have the same tenacious red blood flowing through our bodies."
······
The same red blood.
blood.
"Toru? What's wrong with you? You've been acting a little weird since a while ago."
"fine."
It’s the memory of that person again.
Why do you think of it now?
Lingzi patted Amuro Toru's hand, "Come back to your senses!"
Amuro Toru took Lingzi to the other side and hugged her tightly, "Hmm?"
"Let me hug you."
Lingzi puffed up her cheeks helplessly, "Yes."
Toru Amuro hugged him tightly.
······
Miss Murakami hung up the phone and came back, "Oh, Miss Murakami, Mr. Fukamachi accidentally set off the alarm on his cell phone, causing Miss Yuri to put the wine glass on the table. Where were you at that time?"
"I, I'm at another table."
"The phone made a strange sound and everyone was startled, so I came over to see what happened and bumped into Yuri and spilled the red wine on her."
Murakami looked at Mr. Morooka and said, "Hey, am I right?"
Mr. Morooka didn't know, "Well, I was there to get the god's glasses, so I wasn't there."
Butler Fukamachi said, "I remember Ms. Arisato. It was probably a while after the alarm sounded. The red wine got the sleeve of her left hand wet."
"As for whether you were with her when the alarm sounded, I don't know."
"I told you, I wasn't there." "Don't get excited, I'm not saying you're lying, I just don't remember if you were there with her."
"It's true. I was really at another table at that time. You have to believe me."
"What? Something bothers me."
"Are you saying that Mr. Morooka has something bothering him recently?"
Amuro Toru nodded, "Yes, that's what his bodyguard said when I went to the parking lot to inquire about the situation. He also said that he looked a little strange recently. He suddenly lost weight and gained weight very quickly, and he often fell and got injured."
Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment and felt hurt.
Trigger keywords and start recalling.
Maori Kogoro understood this behavior, "After all, he received a threatening letter, so he would definitely be worried."
"But, Maori brother."
······
Injured.
"Hurt, hurt. Someone's hurt, Mom. I brought back a hurt person."
"I've already told you, it's not a big deal?"
"But you're bleeding."
"This little wound can be healed with just a little saliva."
"But······"
"Oh, it's you again. You really like fighting."
"No, they always laugh at my weird hair color. I was born and raised in Japan. What's so weird about that?"
"I guess your father or mother is a foreigner."
"is it not OK?"
"Then you can tell those friends who always fight with you that although everyone looks different, once the skin is peeled off, everyone has the same flesh and blood."
"The proof is this. In this world we live in, no matter what race we are, we all have the same red blood as you."
"Do you understand it?"
"Ah."
"Then let me disinfect you. Come in quickly."
"Okay, it's been disinfected. Now Mingmei, put a band-aid on him."
"Okay, come with me,"
"Oh, oh, it's really rare."
"Oh, husband."
"You are usually so shy and only talk to patients about their condition, but you actually talked so much to that strange kid."
"That child is different because he is mixed race like me,"
"I see"
"Oh, right. How was that last time? Have you decided whether or not to go to the unit that supports your research?"
"Well, I'm going to reject them."
"why?"
"Ah, I've thought about it again and again, and I still don't want to be separated from you. Besides, what your sister said is a bit suspicious."
"But that sponsor is the famous Karasuma Group, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. But they have a bad reputation, and I don't want to be bashed as a mad scientist at the academy again."
"But how can you do research in your spare time as a doctor here?"
"I feel a little sorry for the patients, but if the salary is good, we can close this clinic and I will help you."
"It's okay. We can live like this as a family of three."
"We are a family of four."
"Ok?"
"Yeah, it's been three months."
"Great, then I'll reconsider what I just said."
"That's your dream, you can't give up so easily."
"Well, I'll be going back now, doctor."
"If I get hurt again, can I still come?"
"That won't work. We don't welcome children who fight here."
"Ok?"
"But if you were injured honorably in order to make peace with your opponent, I can help you put on a band-aid."
It turned out to be the case.
So that's what happened.
Lingzi didn't want to talk anymore. He was holding her so tightly, was he afraid that she would run away?
Why is she running? What is the need to run?
It's not necessary.
······
The atmosphere at the scene was tense for a while.
Xiaolan walked towards Takagi, "Um, Officer Takagi."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I just found a nail polish. I think it's Ms. Arisato's nail polish. It has a lily pattern on it."
"Yes, yes, that is indeed the nail art piece from Youli."
"Oh, where did you find it?"
"Well, I stepped on something and the nail art got embedded in the bottom of my shoe. I'm really sorry, I cracked it."
"Don't feel too bad about it. This must have flown out when Ms. Yuri fell to the ground."
Conan suddenly spoke, startling everyone, "Hey, big sister,"
"Ok?"
"Does Arisato usually wear nail polish of that style?"
"Yes, we told her to change her nail polish occasionally, but she didn't listen to us at all. That's her personal characteristic."
Xiaolan was a little unhappy, "Ah. I'm really unlucky today."
"Why are you so unlucky?"
"I accidentally stepped on Ms. Yuri's nail polish and lost my wallet."
"wallet."
"Yes, but I seemed to have dropped it at the toilet door. Fortunately, Mr. Amuro picked it up for me."
"Brother Amuro."
Toru Amuro suddenly appeared from behind Conan, "What are you talking about?"
Lingzi stared at Conan quietly. Was he going to say something bad about him?
"Hey, we didn't say anything to you."
Maori Kogoro comforted Xiaolan, "Don't worry, the nail art piece is so small, it's normal that you didn't see it and stepped on it."
"It's not like you can be like Sherlock Holmes and walk around with a magnifying glass."
It turned out to be the case.
It turns out there is such a trick.
That's why that person was able to poison Miss Yuri's cup.
Treat his nail polish as a target.
"I've told you many times, officer. I did walk past Yuri who was holding the glass."
"Excuse me, please borrow it."
"But, it was only a few seconds, how could I possibly poison her wine glass?"
"It was the same for me. I didn't have time to poison her. I just bumped into her and spilled the wine on her."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
"I don't have the time to poison Yuri's cup."
"It was the same for me. When she put the glass on the table, I wasn't wearing my glasses and couldn't see clearly."
"Excuse me, I was just trying to check my messages and my phone started ringing on its own."
"So even if I wanted to poison her, I wouldn't be able to tell which cup was hers."
"Oh my goodness officer, can we go now? I want to get to the hospital quickly to see how Yuri is doing. I'm really worried about her."
Officer Megure looked at him, "I can see that you are worried about her, but you are just a customer here, why are you so concerned about her?"
"Well, that's because after all, she's the one who entertains me every time I come over."
"Oh, stop making excuses. You poisoned her because she forced you to marry him. You rushed to the hospital because you wanted to see with your own eyes whether she was dead or not. Am I right, Mr. Morooka?"
"What are you talking about?"
Ms. Murakami looked at Mr. Morooka, "Maybe. You want to go to the hospital and put an end to her once and for all, right?"
"I think you are talking about yourself. If she were gone, you would be the top salesperson in the store. Then you would get a high bonus, right?"
"So what? Are you trying to say that I poisoned Yuri in order to get the bonus?"
"I heard everything from Yuri. Your father is sick and in the hospital. You are trying to raise a large sum of money for the surgery, right?"
"Oh, didn't I tell you that you don't need to worry about money now? Dad just needs to focus on recuperating. I will definitely find a way to pay for the surgery."
"You are an old man who wants to give her a breakup fee. What right do you have to criticize me?"
"Breakup fee? What are you talking about?"
"Why are you pretending here? The girls in our store have seen it. Your housekeeper came to see Arisato and wanted to give him some money."
"However, in the end, Yuri didn't seem to accept the money."
"What's going on, Fukamachi?"
"Uh, well, actually..."
"In short, I ask the three of you to stay here for the time being and cooperate with our investigation."
"Anyway, you three are the only ones who could have poisoned Miss Yuri's cup."
Conan looked at Inspector Megure, "But, Inspector Megure, I don't think the one who poisoned the person was that rich uncle."
"The rich uncle you are referring to is Mr. Morooka?"
"Ah, why do you think so,'
"Because I remember that rich uncle was about to go to the parking lot outside the store to get spare glasses for his butler when he passed by Sister Yuri, right?"
"Yes."
"Just now, I went to the parking lot with Brother Ai Amuro and asked the two bodyguards of the uncle about the situation. They said that the rich uncle just went with Uncle Kogoro to get the glasses."
