After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Chapter 238 Conspiracy (3)

Soon, several police cars appeared outside the Carlton Restaurant, and Chie Asai was taken to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment.

Because bomb criminals have not been active in recent years, it is common for the explosive ordnance disposal team to be asked to help by the busier investigation department. Naturally, Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Hagiwara were also present today.

*

Beichuan Lianghe looked at the young female police officer in front of him with a fake smile and asked, "Miss police officer, could you please tell me again who the three suspects are?"

Sato Miwako sighed and answered helplessly: "The three suspects are Miss Hoshino and the long-haired man who followed Miss Hoshino, and... you, Mr. Kitagawa."

Matsuda and Hagiwara had previously received a text message from Hoshino Hitomi. Now that they cannot recognize her, they have to try their best to collect some useful evidence at the crime scene and try to help each other.

Officer Megure coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Ms. Hoshino, although it may be a bit offensive, please accompany us to the police station with these two gentlemen for the time being."

Hoshino Hitomi slowly raised her goblet, took a sip of red wine, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and smiled nonchalantly: "Don't jump to conclusions so easily, Officer Megure. Why don't you... listen to my analysis first?"

Kudo Shinichi watched from the side with his eyes wide open. This was such an obvious frame-up, clearly targeting Hoshino Hitomi and her group.

But this was a closed-room murder case that seemed to have no flaws and was almost perfect. No clues could be found. Now the three suspected suspects were about to be arrested, but the person involved, Hoshino Hitomi, was still drinking leisurely.

Hoshino Hitomi stood up, took a step with her long legs, and slowly walked to the tied-up Asai Yoizumi. Then she raised her hand and slapped him hard. The huge force knocked out the dirty rag stuck in his mouth.

"Snapped--"

Everyone present was stunned, but no one dared to step forward to stop it.

After beating up the scumbag, Hoshino Hitomi took out a clean white handkerchief and wiped her palms without changing her expression. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly:

"For the sake of our relationship as cousins, I'll give you a chance. Tell me the truth, and maybe I can save your face. After all, I don't want to expose the family scandal in public."

The pair of silver-rimmed glasses on Asai Yangquan's face were knocked away by the slap from Hoshino Hitomi just now, and a hint of bright red appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Hatred flashed across his eyes, and he was thinking about how to torture the other party afterwards. Then he pretended to be innocent and said kindly:

"Sister Xiaotong, I know you won't hurt Qianhui. I also know that you may be very annoyed about being treated as a criminal suspect, but it's useless for you to take your anger out on me now..."

Hoshino Hitomi closed her eyes and raised her hand gently, saying, "Alright, put the rag back into his mouth."

The next second, Shuichi Akai picked up the dirty rag and stuffed it back into Asai Yozumi's mouth.

Asai Yangquan was angry but dared not say anything: "..."

Are these police officers good-for-nothings? They watched him get beaten, and yet they didn’t arrest this crazy woman, Hoshino Hitomi.

It’s not that these police officers are all Hitomi Hoshino’s people, but before they have solid evidence, no one dares to intervene in the affairs of a big shot like Hitomi Hoshino who is so omnipotent.

After all, she is extremely powerful and wealthy enough to rival a country. Looking across Tokyo, no one dares to go against her.

Hoshino Hitomi sat back on the sofa in the living room, crossed her fingers and placed them under her chin, and said in a calm tone: "Then, please allow me to say a few words first. The crime happened at about 20:55, and I entered the women's restroom at 21:02 and found the victim."

"There are currently three suspects. Kitagawa was in the men's restroom from 20:45 to 21:00, and Moroboshi was in the men's restroom from 20:50 to 20:57. The above times are all monitored as evidence. As for the time when Mrs. Asai's poison took effect, after the examination, the results will be similar to what I said."

"According to Mr. Asai, the only people who could have secretly poisoned Mrs. Asai before the incident were me, who had previously come into contact with Mrs. Asai, and Moroboshi and Kitagawa, who were the only two people who had entered the men's restroom during that period."

"The restaurant toilet is on the second floor. You can follow the water pipe outside and climb into the women's toilet through the window of the men's toilet, and then kill Mrs. Asai."

"But Mrs. Asai had never met these two people before, and Mr. Asai believed that they were all my people, so even if they poisoned Mrs. Asai, it was all my personal instruction."

Hoshino Hitomi smiled lightly and said in a sarcastic tone: "The above is Mr. Asai's personal reasoning. I will overturn them one by one next."

"First of all, the idea of ​​climbing through the window into the women's restroom can be disproven."

"Mrs. Asai was killed at 20:55. Even if they climbed into the women's restroom through the four-meter-high ventilation window in the men's restroom, there were no shoe prints or fingerprints left on the water pipes, windows, or the restroom floor. Even if there were traces of destruction, it's a bit unreasonable to destroy everything in just two or three minutes, right?"

"Also, there are no fingerprints of the three of us on the door handle of the last toilet where Mrs. Asai was killed, so she most likely committed suicide, not murder, and was forced to do so."

Asai Yangquan suddenly spat out the dirty rag in his mouth and said viciously: "You are just talking on paper, where is the evidence?"

Kitagawa Ryosaku stared at him viciously, and ten thousand different ways of how Asai Yozumi could have died flashed through his mind.

Hearing this, Hoshino Hitomi laughed sarcastically, "You want evidence? I have plenty of it here."

Soon, one of the police officers wearing the blue uniform of the Metropolitan Police Department handed over a sealed bag containing something that looked like a medicine, and explained:

"This is the drug that Officers Matsuda and Hagiwara found in the sewer pipe. After testing, it was found to have only Mrs. Asai's fingerprints on it. The ingredients in the drug can instantly poison a person and cause them to fall into a coma, but it is not fatal."

Hoshino Hitomi was not surprised at all, and casually revealed: "The other potion that can cause direct poisoning to death is probably hidden in your sleeve, Asai Yangquan."

"Also, before you served my glass of red wine, you put a small amount of colorless and odorless sleeping pills in it. Your purpose was to take advantage of the opportunity to let Mrs. Asai's potion get stained with my fingerprints while I was unconscious."

"But you didn't expect that I didn't have Chinese medicine, nor did you expect Mrs. Asai to betray you at the last minute. You were worried that your plan would be leaked, so you cruelly planned to kill Mrs. Asai directly, and then used various means to try to put the blame on me."

Upon hearing this, Matsuda and Hagiwara stepped forward without hesitation and controlled Asai Yozumi. They grabbed his arm forcefully and soon found a poison potion from the cuff of his suit.
