Furuya Rei: The sun falls into the arms of the moon

Chapter 177 Mysterious Cocktail - Opening

Toru Amuro stood behind Conan holding Lingzi's hand. Lingzi's hand was on his arm. He bent down and whispered in Conan's ear to remind him.

"Let me tell you my guess about this matter,"

"Before she fainted, Ms. Yuri had been to the lounge. She drank the glass of wine after she came back. When she left her seat, Ms. Yuri deliberately put a coaster on her glass."

"So I think the only person who had the opportunity to poison Ms. Arisato was Mr. Morooka, who passed by her while she was holding the cup before she left."

······

"Let me get it from the car for you."

"I'm really sorry to trouble you."

"The spare glasses are in the storage compartment in front of the passenger seat."

"Um,"

"Then I will go with you."

"Excuse me, please borrow it."

······

"And she was startled by the alarm of her cell phone and hurriedly put the glass on the table. Mr. Fukamachi was sitting next to her at that time."

······

"Isn't it?"

"Earthquake?"

"No, no, sorry, I was just trying to check my messages and my phone started ringing on its own."

"Show me."

······

"And the one who spilled red wine on Ms. Yuri's cuffs and asked her to go to the lounge to change was the clerk of this store, Ms. Murakami."

······

"No, we will also take the initiative to call customers and invite them to come to the store to play."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, there are cuffs like that in the locker room, go change them."

"Oh well."

······

"I think, if I remember correctly, there were only three people who had the opportunity to poison Miss Yuri's cup."

"Am I right, Mr. Maori?"

"You're right."

The look in Kogoro Mori's eyes when he looked at Toru Amuro revealed something like this: This boy is really observant.

After listening to the whole story, Inspector Megure believed what Amuro Toru said and looked at the three suspects over there, "So, the three people Mr. Amuro just mentioned."

"Mr. Morooka, Mr. Fukamachi, and the store clerk, Ms. Murakami, please tell us in detail what happened at that time."

An inexplicable memory emerged in Amuro's mind.

······

Officer Megure looked at Mr. Morooka and asked, "Since Mr. Fukamachi is your butler, why did you go back to your car and get his glasses for him?"

Mr. Morooka blamed himself a little, "It's all my fault that I didn't pay attention to my step and accidentally stepped on and broke Fukamachi's glasses that fell under the table."

······

"Oh, it's glasses."

······

"I want to put some sauce on my omelette, and the sauce is next to Fukamachi"

······

"Oh, this omelette looks really good. Let me try it."

“Sauce?”

"Fukamachi, could you please bring me the sauce from your place?"

"Really."

······

“When I went to get the sauce, I heard a snap.”

Mr. Morooka turned around and looked at Butler Fukamachi. "That's right, isn't it?"

Butler Fukamachi nodded, "Yes."

Officer Takagi's eyes fell on Butler Fukamachi, "Then why did your glasses fall to the ground at that time?"

"I remember that after I cleaned the lenses, I put the glasses on the table."

······

"But in a store like this, I don't even know where to look."

······

"Maybe my arm accidentally bumped into it and the glasses fell to the ground."

Mr. Morooka responded, “I thought his eyesight was not good and it was too dangerous for him to get spare glasses, so I stopped him.”

······

"Let me get it from the car for you."

"Thank you for your help. The spare glasses are in the storage compartment in front of the passenger seat."

······

"Really? So that's it."

Inspector Megure looked at Mr. Morooka, puzzled. "Speaking of which, adding sauce to an omelette, your taste is really weird."

“That’s delicious.”

"Come to think of it, Yuri also seems to add sauce to the omelette."

"She said she was infected by someone's habit."

A clerk took out his phone and looked through the photos, "Look."

The two looked at the photo and said, "Ah, there are actually people who eat like this."

"In short, believe me before. I have no reason at all. It's reasonable to poison her. I like her very much. How could I kill her?"

Maori Kogoro walked up to him and said, "You are lying, right? She is forcing you to marry her, and you are having a headache because of this, right?"

"I think she learned the habit of adding sauce to her omelettes from you, her lover, right?"

Mr. Zhuogang was speechless, "What is this?"

"You said you received a threatening letter. That was all staged by you. You had planned it all along, making people think that Ms. Yuri was implicated innocently."

"In fact, you wanted to kill her so that your wife wouldn't find out that you had a lover."

Mr. Morooka looked at Maori Kogoro with dissatisfaction, "Are you kidding me? Do you know how much older Arisato is than I am?"

"And my wife died of illness half a year ago."

"Hey."

Kogoro Maori was stunned.

Lingzi blinked and said, "Okay, by the method of elimination, Kogoro Maori, this old man is not the criminal."

Lingzi shook her head. It was the same this time. There was a communication problem. Why couldn't we talk first? Is this something that can't be said?

Lingzi blinked her eyes. This seemed to be something that could not be said.

Lingzi sighed, shrank behind Amuro Toru, and grabbed his clothes. Amuro Toru was thinking about his own things.

Didn't notice Lingzi's movements.

······

Officer Megure looked at Butler Fukamachi, "Oh, you pressed the wrong button on your phone, causing the phone to sound an alarm, making the store staff, including the victim, think it was an earthquake alarm and put down their cups to check their phones, right?"

"Yes, yes. I want to check the message results on my phone while Master helps me get my glasses."

······

"Isn't it?"

"There's an earthquake."

"No, sorry."

"I was just about to check my messages, but my phone started ringing on its own."

"In that case, Mr. Fukamachi, you weren't wearing glasses at the time, right?"

"Yes, everything I saw was blurry, so I had no idea who put the wine glass on the table at that time."

“And they all dress the same.”

Maori Kogoro looked at him and doubted him, "That sounds good, but you have already had surgery and restored your eyesight. Am I right?"

"If you don't believe me, just try on my glasses and I'll take them off for you."

Butler Fukamachi took off his glasses, and Maori Kogoro took them and put them on. "I feel dizzy. How can you see clearly when you wear these glasses normally?"

"I don't have the habit of wearing contact lenses, so I always wear glasses."

"If you suspect I took my contact lenses off, they should still be on me or somewhere around me. You can look for them anywhere."

"In the final analysis, I am like the master. I have no motive to kill anyone. We always come to this store by chance."

"Hmm? Stopping here?"

"My master often visits the high-end suit shop next to this store. After buying a suit and waiting for the clothes to be altered, he will come to this store to kill time."

"That's right, isn't it, sir?"

"Yes, it is."

······

"I already told you, I just bumped into her accidentally and spilled the red wine on her."

"I'm not a highly skilled spy. How could I have poisoned Yuri's cup in such a short time?"

·······

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

······

Mr. Morooka looked at them and said, "It's the same for me. There's no way I could poison her cup the moment we passed by each other."

"Don't get excited. After all, we weren't there at the time, so we have to ask you about the situation."

The clerk, Ms. Murakami, looked at Officer Takagi and said, "Besides, what good would poisoning Arisato bring me?"

"If there is, please tell us about it."

"this."

Maori Kogoro could make up a reason for everyone present, "That's because you don't want to be robbed of the first place."

"I just asked other bunny girls, and they said that this store will select the bunny girl with the highest sales every six months, and the bunny girl who wins the first place will receive a large bonus. Is that right?"

"Also, I heard that you've been the number one in the store for the past two years, but recently your sales have been caught up by Yuri, so you're anxious."

"You thought the prize money was definitely yours, so you bought some expensive items, but now the prize money is on the line, so you drugged her."

Miss Murakami looked at him dissatisfiedly, "Ah, then you tell me, what exactly did I buy that was so expensive? You'd better tell me clearly."

Maori Kogoro was speechless, "Ah..."

Xiaolan turned sideways and wanted to ask Conan a question, "Hey, Conan, do you know who poisoned me?"

"Where is he? He was here just now."

The clerk next to her watched Xiaolan's actions and said, "The kid just asked us where the parking lot is, and then ran out."

"He went out with that handsome dark-skinned guy and that pretty girl."

"With Mr. Amuro and Sister Lingzi?"

······

"Yes, the master did come here before. He said he wanted to get spare glasses for Butler Fukamachi. At that time, Detective Maori also came with the master."

Amuro Toru looked at the two bodyguards and said, "I want to ask if there was anything wrong with your master at that time."

"Something wrong?"

"For example, they are very concerned about the situation in the store, or they keep looking at their watches."

"Well, no."

"If there's anything wrong, it's that the master's body shape is a little off."

"Yeah, he suddenly lost a lot of weight, but quickly gained it back. Maybe he was troubled by something."

"And the master has been injured frequently recently."

"Yeah, he said he accidentally tripped over a small step."

······

"If you get hurt again next time, I won't be able to heal you, because I'm going to a far place and I have to say goodbye to you, Zero."

······

Lingzi frowned. What's wrong with this person? "Tou?"

"through?"

Lingzi turned around and stood in front of Amuro Toru, shaking his hand, "Lingzi?"

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly in a daze?"

"Uh, nothing. I-I'm fine."

Lingzi looked at Amuro Toru and wondered if he was thinking of another woman now?

Why did you think of that person just now?

"Oh, so you were thinking about someone else?"

Lingzi raised an eyebrow, "It seems that Mr. Amuro has some other ideas now."

Conan turned back to think about his own things

Lingzi was here to pull Toru Amuro back to his senses, "You've been absent-minded since the beginning."

Amuro Toru shook his head, "I just thought of an old friend."

Lingzi raised the corner of his lips, "Ah, it turns out to be an old friend."

"So, you miss your old friend very much?"

Amuro Toru shook his head, "No, I just suddenly remembered it for some reason."

Lingzi nodded, "Yeah, I understand."

"But you have to hurry up and resolve this matter."

Amuro Toru nodded, "Yeah."

······

"If what Mr. Amuro said before is correct, then the only person who could have poisoned the victim, Ms. Asakura Arisato's cup, was Mr. Morooka Gunzo, who stepped on the butler's glasses, left his seat to get spare glasses from the car, and passed by Ms. Arisato holding the wine glass."

"And Mr. Atsushi Fukamachi, who accidentally pressed a button on his cell phone, causing the phone to sound an alarm, causing Ms. Arisato to be busy checking the earthquake news and put the cup on the table, and was sitting next to the cup at the time."

"The other person is Ms. Murakami Sarana, who spilled red wine on Ms. Arisato's cuffs and asked her to go to the lounge to change her cuffs, thus putting down the cup."

"But Officer Megure Akane, the time it took Mr. Morooka to pass by the victim, and the time it took Ms. Murakami to spill the red wine, were very short. They didn't have time to poison the victim's glass."

"Mr. Fukamachi said that he was not wearing glasses when he sounded the alarm, so he couldn't see clearly whose cups were on the table at the time."

"It seems that we can only wait until Miss Yuri regains consciousness, then later..."

Toru Amuro called out to Inspector Megure, "Inspector Megure."

Officer Megure turned back to look at Amuro Toru, "What's the matter?"

"There are two shop assistants here. They want to talk to you. They said they suddenly remembered something."

"Huh? What? Butler Fukamachi-san once came to this store alone?"

"Is he here to see Miss Yuri?"

"Yes, at first we thought he was coming to the store to make a reservation."

"But he said he had something to do with Yuri, so they met in the back."

"At first, Yuri was still chatting and laughing with him. But the moment the housekeeper took out the envelope, her expression suddenly turned bad."

"envelope?"

"Do you two know what the envelope is?"

"No"

"I don't know."

Maori Kogoro came over and said, "I think the envelope contains the breakup fee."

"The housekeeper asked Miss Arisato to break up with her master, but Miss Arisato refused, saying that she should not be dismissed with such a small amount of money. I think that's what she means."

Amuro Toru looked at Hitomouri, "So, she is indeed Mr. Morooka's lover, and she forced Mr. Morooka to marry her?"
