37. Tragedy
Tatsugu Kimura was dead, too.
Under everyone's noses, when he finished singing his song passionately and showed his final charm, he died of cyanide poisoning after eating a rice ball.
The police arrived soon.
The band members were very sad, and Xiaolan and Yuanzi felt sorry.
Chen Xing also felt a little indescribable, as if he was sad because of the dead. This was rare in the past. After all, he had also seen many death scenes.
Perhaps, it was because although I didn’t say a few words to Tatsuki Kimura, I had already left an impression in my short time getting along.
For this ostentatious young man, Chen Xing felt more regretful than disgust for him, but no matter what, he was already dead.
Conan held his chin and looked at everyone's faces in the audience. There was no doubt that the murderer was someone in the Rex band.
The first one to be suspected was the middle-aged store manager who was once the band captain. Jealousy would be his motive for murder - Tatsuya Kimura brought the band on the career path, and he left the stage in disgrace.
But everyone had eaten the dishes he brought, so the suspect was ruled out.
Later, the coroner said that toxic substances were detected on the victim's clothes and microphone.
Officer Meguri had his hands behind his back, his eyes were as sharp as a torch, and his tone was deep, "That is to say, the murderer applied the cyanide on the microphone, and Tatsuki Kimura finished singing and touched the rice balls, and his hands were already stained with cyanide. And the one who could do this was Miss Mieko Shishizaki who sang before him."
Everyone was stunned. Based on the bold reasoning of the serious police officer, they subconsciously looked at the other side and leaned against the wall, as if they were unable to accept the death of the victim and lost their minds.
"I heard you were singing songs of separation while crying, right?" Officer Meguri was as if he was narrating the truth, full of oppression. "Can it be that what happened between you and Tatsuya Kimura?"
"No, I was not abandoned by Tatsuya, I got rid of him first!" Mieko said loudly.
Then, the girl who seemed strong on the outside covered her heartbreak and said something she once confessed but was rejected.
"He said he already has someone he likes and will wait for her to come back." Mieko burst into tears.
"Then, you feel hated?" Officer Megu asked.
"No, I didn't kill anyone!" Mieko shouted with a silence.
Band manager Mari also said: "The song that Mieko sang was chosen by Tatsuya for her at the beginning. She didn't expect that she could sing, and she didn't know that Tatsuya would follow her and sang it, so it was absolutely impossible for Mieko to sing poison on the microphone."
On the side, Yuanzi and Xiaolan looked at them with some concern.
"I don't really believe that Miss Mieko will kill people." Yuanzi whispered: "The so-called "hate from love is not so easy to give up."
Chen Xing glanced at her and said, "It seems like you understand it very much."
Yuanzi glared at him, "Do you think it's easy to make up your mind to kill the person you like?"
Chen Xing was silent when he heard this, and looked at her with some inexplicable eyes, "You might have had this kind of thought, right?"
Yuanzi was so angry that he punched his waist, "Yes, yes, sometimes I really want to bite you stupid!"
"..." Chen Xing.
Yuanzi's voice suddenly lowered, her eyes drifting as if she had no direction and did not contact him. "Don't always think that my empathy ability is very poor. In fact, I am not that idiotic, and I am very smart in terms of emotions."
Chen Xing reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
"Are you comforting me?" Yuanzi asked.
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded, "I think you may cry at any time."
Upon hearing this, Yuanzi slapped his hand away, "Don't coax me like a kitten or a dog, stinky brat!"
Chen Xing smiled.
Yuanzi stared at him for a while before she said casually: "You said, isn't it difficult to wait for the person you like to turn back?"
Chen Xing was puzzled, "Let's go back?"
"Yes, I just want that person to stop and look back at himself." Yuanzi said.
Chen Xing thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know."
Yuanzi's eyes were a little dim, and even her smile was reluctant, "I just said casually, you don't have to think about it for so long."
Yes, after all, I once said I would refuse, but now why do I show off like this? In the end, it may only embarrass each other.
But when did this relationship quietly appear?
Is it because during occasional meetings, there is no burden to talk about the troubles or happy events in life?
Or is it because getting along with each other who didn’t care about it has become a habit, and getting used to the other person’s existence in life, whether it is to talk or accompany him?
At some point, that person had become an indispensable part of himself. He walked into the small corner of his heart, so it was impossible for others to have a chance.
Under the bright light, Yuanzi felt that the figure in front of her was a little blurry. Maybe she understood it too late, or maybe she actually understood it all the time and was just escaping.
Xiaolan was waiting, and Kimura Tatsuya was waiting. Maybe this is the so-called love that he insisted on, and he was determined. At this moment, Yuanzi finally felt relieved.
Chen Xing frowned and lowered his head slightly. The girl beside him had red eyes and tears were filled with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"It's nothing, I just figured out some things." Yuanzi turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes. When she turned around, she looked heartless again.
She hit Chen Xing's arm, "Who do you think is the real murderer?"
"I didn't expect it." Chen Xing was calm.
As he said that, he looked at the small figure who was looking around in the venue, pondering for clues.
"Conan is always like a little adult." Sonoko leaned beside him, curling her lips at this time, and her tone was very disgusting.
"Maybe we can really find the murderer." Chen Xing said.
"It's just him? It's just a child." Yuanzi hugged her arms, "But if you think about it carefully, this child is indeed very smart."
Next, it was just a 'very smart kid' who discovered the truth because of an old photo of a band.
...
The police could not find the clues to the case and temporarily brought the relevant person back to the police station.
While Chen Xing and others were planning to go back, Officer Memu suddenly received a call.
Kudo Shinichi appeared.
It was still at the previous scene of the crime, and the teenager's confident reasoning came from the sound of the Karaoke. Every word seemed to have been carefully pondered, and the case that originally confused everyone suddenly became clear.
The murderer was the manager, Miss Terahara.
The motive for murder is that he can no longer bear the disgust that Tatsuya Kimura has always been.
She was a partner of Tatsuya Kimura a long time ago and was also one of the band's lead singers. Later Tatsuya Kimura became a professional singer. Mari, who was not confident in her appearance, had plastic surgery for him. As a result, Tatsuya Kimura's attitude towards her became worse and worse.
But in fact, Tatsuki Kimura was just angry that she had plastic surgery. She clearly loved her deeply, but she deliberately angered or neglected her again and again because of her anger.
He has been waiting for Mali, and Mali also loves him, a young man who is unwilling to admit the facts, a woman with a hidden face, because they hide their love in their hearts and look like a hedgehog, which has caused the current tragedy.
Perhaps, this love is not mature, and neither of them takes the initiative to move forward.
