Chapter 76 Reasons for Washing the Tableware

On Wednesday, February 14th, in the afternoon, Minagawa's house.

The owner of the house, Katsuhiko Minagawa, was sent to the hospital because of pesticide poisoning. Conan saw that Mrs. Minagawa was hurrying to wash the dishes, so he deduced that Mrs. Minagawa should have poisoned the coffee and put the antidote in the cake, so Then he brought down Maoli with the anesthesia watch, and spoke the reasoning in his voice. Then Yamazaki's testimony proved that Komi Watanabe may have been framed by Mrs. Minagawa. Guan Guxiang even said that Mrs. Minagawa was just the aunt who adopted Katsuhiko Minagawa seven years ago, and because Komi Watanabe resembled Katsuhiko Minagawa's biological mother, Katsuhiko Minagawa would definitely eat Komi Watanabe's chocolate. These words increased the persuasiveness of Conan's reasoning and made Mrs. Minagawa more passive.

Speaking of this time, the relevant people in the living room all looked at Mrs. Minagawa, making the living room quiet for a while. At this time, Mrs. Minagawa, who had not spoken all this time, said: "Sir, since you have finished speaking, let me say the following." Then she took out the chocolate in her clothes and handed it to the Megure Police Department, and then said, "The police Sir, since this gentleman suspects that I have secretly replaced this piece of chocolate, please take it for inspection."

"Okay." Megure Police Department said and took the chocolate for inspection.

"By the way," Mrs. Minagawa said again, "Please test another piece of chocolate, and what this gentleman said just now, the coffee cup, the coffee pot, and the drain." Then he asked, "This gentleman..."

Yamazaki smiled and said, "This is Mr. Mori Kogoro, a detective."

"Mr. Mori," Mrs. Minagawa asked, "what do you think should be tested?"

Conan said in a Maori voice: "Fingerprints and whether there are any poisonous ingredients." Mrs. Minagawa's words and deeds made Conan doubtful, so he reconsidered all the details of the whole party in his heart, but the final guess was still Minagawa. Madam is the most suspect.

"Fingerprints?" Mrs. Minagawa smiled, "Do you think I planned this incident because I saw Komi Watanabe preparing chocolates and blamed her?" Then she asked without waiting for Conan's answer, "Watanabe Miss Haomei, your chocolate is made here, right? I taught you how to make it?"

"Yes." Tomomi Watanabe replied, "I made two copies at the time, and you said one was for Ah Jin."

"Yes." Mrs. Minagawa explained: "Ajin was there at the time, and after knowing that the chocolate belonged to him, I wanted to eat it the next day, but I found that his tooth decay had become worse, so I didn't dare to give it to him. , so I put it away and stared at him, but because I was preparing for this party today, I was worried that he would find it and steal it, so I kept it with me." Then he asked, "You helped me pack it at that time, right? "

"Not bad." Watanabe replied, "But only mine has outer packaging."

Police Department Megure said: "Then, the piece of chocolate in your hand should not have Mr. Katsuhiko Minagawa's fingerprints on it."

"It should have been like this," Mrs. Minagawa said, "but he picked up Katsuhiko this morning and looked at it, so there should be his fingerprints."

"What?" Mumu Police Department exclaimed in surprise.

Someone came to report at this time, and the test results came out. There were many fingerprints of Mrs. Minagawa and Tomomi Watanabe on the inner packaging of the two chocolates, as well as the fingerprints of Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko.

Conan asked in a Maori voice: "Megure Police Department, where is Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko's fingerprints, and which finger is it?"

The Mumu Police Department looked at the report and replied: "No need to ask,

Mrs. Minagawa did not change the chocolate. "Then explained: "The chocolate at the scene has the complete fingerprint of Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko's left thumb, which shows that he pressed the chocolate with his left hand and broke it with his right hand. And Mrs. Minagawa's chocolate appeared on the fingerprint of Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko's right hand finger, indicating that he had picked it up. "

Conan deliberated on this incident again. There were five suspects in this incident, but in common sense, the murderer could only be Mrs. Minagawa, but if she wanted to kill Minagawa Katsuhiko, then it was impossible for her not to find a substitute. Chocolate is the most convenient and the best choice. And now, the chocolate hasn't been changed, what's going on? Was it not her, or was it really an accident? Where is the breakthrough point of this incident? Is it a pesticide?

"Mr. Mori," Mrs. Minagawa said with a smile, "this proves that I didn't steal the chocolate."

The Mumu police department asked: "Then what do you mean by 'it's me' just now?"

Mrs. Minagawa said, "What I mean is that this incident was indeed caused by me, but it was not because of poisoning and killing Ke Yan, but because I did not take good care of Ke Yan and let him eat the pesticide by mistake."

"Eating by mistake?" Mumu Police Department asked back in surprise.

"Yes," Mrs. Minagawa said, "it was eaten by mistake. As for how and when I ate it, I don't know."

Conan asked in a Maori voice: "Since you said that, it means that Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko was exposed to pesticides at home, right?"

Mrs. Minagawa replied, "Yes."

Conan asked again in a Maori voice: "How did the pesticide come from, what is it used for, is there any leftover, and where is the container for the pesticide?"

"I bought those in the store, small bottles of pesticides. Because I can't take care of such a big home by myself, I have been using pesticides to take care of the greening in the yard. There are no more left. The bottle was taken away this morning, and it should have been disposed of by now." Mrs. Minagawa replied one by one.

Conan asked again in Maori's voice: "There is no pesticide left in the bottle, is that the basis for you to believe that Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko accidentally ingested pesticide?"

"That's right, because the bottle of pesticide should not have been used up." Mrs. Minagawa replied, and then explained, "It was nothing, I just thought I remembered it wrong, so I didn't take it to heart. But at that time, I suddenly heard the scream of Ms. Watanabe, and I thought it must be that Katsuhiko had an accident because of eating pesticide by mistake." Then he laughed, "In the end, what the Megure police department said later proved that my intuition is still very good. Right."

At this time, someone came to report that there were no pesticides in the two chocolates, and there were no pesticides on the coffee cups and other tableware, only the drain.

The chocolate has not been changed, and the tableware has been washed, so what evidence is there? Conan turned his brain quickly, is the pesticide in the drain, no, the pesticide in the drain alone cannot prove what she has done, if she says she poured it, there is still nothing to do with her. She must have poisoned her coffee, but what about the proof? Uh, do I have to spit out what I ate so they can examine it? Forget it, maybe it has been digested by now, so I can't tell the difference.

The Mumu Police Department asked, "What happened to the pesticide in the drain?"

"I poured that." Mrs. Minagawa replied, and then explained, "Because the pesticide is diluted, it can't be used up every time, and if you stay at home, you are afraid that Ah Jin will accidentally meet or even drink it out of curiosity. So I used them as disinfectant and poured them into the sink, so there will be pesticides in the drain.” Then he asked with a smile, “Maybe Mr. Maori watched me wash the dishes and suspected that I was destroying evidence?” Then he replied by himself, "That's because I heard what Mr. Police said, and I felt that I had a great responsibility, and then I heard that you were looking for the murderer, so I wanted to confess to the police. But I think if I surrender, I will immediately I will be taken to the police station, I think it is better to clean up the used tableware in the kitchen before leaving, so I washed the tableware."

Conan thought to himself, as expected, he poured it himself, and the argument of washing the dishes is justified, so there is no evidence at all, so where is the next breakthrough, or is this really accidental ingestion?

At this time, the Megure Police Department received a call and hung up the phone. The Megure Police Department announced with a smile: "Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko has recovered his consciousness and is continuing his treatment."

With a sigh of relief, Mrs. Minagawa said, "That's good."

"Okay," seeing that Mei Daizi was eating and drinking slowly, Yamazaki said to himself, "it's almost time to go home." Then he said loudly, "I don't think Mrs. Minagawa really wants to To kill Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko, otherwise she would not have told them the name of the pesticide in Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko's name when notifying the ambulance, so if she wanted to kill Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko, she should have succeeded by this time .”

This guy Yamazaki, he didn't talk about such an important thing until this time. This is, Conan stretched his head to see that Mei Daizi's cake was almost eaten, and the small pot of coffee was almost drunk. Are these two guys ready to leave after the show? I remembered, this guy should have said earlier that there is no need to anesthetize Uncle Mouri, and he said something before borrowing, this guy... Conan was so angry that he really didn't know what to say.

Megure police department asked seriously: "Mrs. Minagawa, is that so?"

"Yes." Mrs. Minagawa replied, "I suspect that Ke Yan has ingested the pesticide by mistake. Of course, the name of the pesticide must be told to the doctor so that they can rescue Ke Yan."

"I will confirm this with the hospital." Megure Police Department said, and then asked, "Maori, what else do you want to ask?"

Conan said in Maori's voice, "No more."

Since Mrs. Minagawa told them the name of the pesticide when she called the ambulance, and she didn't intend to blame others, then it is very likely that this incident was accidentally ingested according to common sense. But there is still a problem here, that is how Katsuhiko Minagawa was poisoned. Mrs. Minagawa said she didn't know, Katsuhiko Minagawa who woke up probably wouldn't know, unless he drank it himself. In this way, the police will close the case by eating by mistake, Conan thought with a wry smile, but why do I always feel that Mrs. Minagawa really poisoned the coffee? Unfortunately, there is no way to prove this. And maybe this incident was really an accidental ingestion, forget it, Conan complained in his heart, it's all that guy Yamazaki, and he doesn't say anything important, really.

Megure Police Department asked: "Mrs. Naminagawa, can you come with me to the police station to make a statement?"

Seeing that Mei Daizi had finished eating, Mrs. Minakawa asked back: "Can I clean up this place?"

Looking at the two sets of tableware on the table, Megure Police Department replied: "Yes."

Mrs. Minagawa asked again: "Can I take Ah Jin with me? I'm really worried that he is alone at home."

The Mumu Police Department asked back: "You can let his father..."

"It's gone." Mrs. Minagawa replied sadly.

"Sorry," Megure Police Department said, "Then take it with you. As long as Mr. Minagawa Katsuhiko's testimony is correct, you can come back soon."...
