64. Darts

"I'm asking Mr. Maori to solve the puzzle."

"Solve the puzzle?"

"Because when I work, I occasionally hear sounds like 'bang', like the sound of flying out of the champagne cork."

After hearing Fukui Yusu's words, Officer Meguru and Takagi Shiro looked at each other, and they were both a little confused.

--This is a bar, isn't it normal to have such a sound?

Fukui Yuxi, who guessed what they were thinking, quickly explained: "Of course, at that time, I didn't give champagne to any of the customers in the store, and when the store was closed and cleaned, I couldn't see anything like cork, but I could only smell a scent like grapefruit."

Officer Memu couldn't help but feel ashamed and looked at the detective beside him, "By the way, how much does it cost to get such a commission?"

Kogoro Mouri smiled and said, "She said she could write off my bill."

Fukui Yusui at the bar added: "It's just that I'll collect it from you to drink Jimlet's money tonight."

"Ah?" Kogoro Mouri's face turned bitter, then he looked at the junior sitting next to him, showing a kind smile.

--Young junior, have you felt the hint from the senior?

"I'll pay." Chen Xing said.

"Sure enough, no matter when, honesty will always be reliable." Kogoro Mouri laughed.

Officer Meguru ignored his brother and said seriously: "So, it was the three of them who drank with the victim at that time, right?"

Kogoro Mouri coughed lightly, "Yes, I've asked them before the police arrived."

Then, he introduced Kishiura Mikazu from his age, occupation and relationship with the victim Joda Shushi.

"They all work in the same company as the victim Mr. Botian. It seems that they are here to celebrate the birthday of the victim who is the minister tonight."

Officer Memu couldn't help but complain about this unspoken rule in his workplace and said to himself: "So, among these three people, one of them has resentment towards the company's boss and poisoned him?"

"Please wait a moment."

"We are really just here to help the minister celebrate his birthday."

"We didn't kill the minister!"

Kishiura Miyasu and the other two quickly defended themselves.

When Kogoro Maori heard this, he smiled deeply, "Aren't you the three of you killed together?"

Once this inference was made, even Conan forgot how to reason.

Kogoro Mouri continued, "You peek at me as a detective and are still whispering there."

"We're just saying you look like the sleeping Kogoro, that's it."

"I didn't expect it was me."

"And we have no motive to kill the minister at all."

Although the three suspected people were resentful, they looked calm.

Conan said, "But, after your minister got drunk, didn't you talk to each other? The minister insisted that you buy very expensive birthday gifts for him. This made you very angry."

"Kid, have you heard it?" Kishiura Mika's face changed slightly.

"Because I have a good hearing, not only did I hear it, but the handsome guy who was said to be a pretentious person, too." Conan smiled slightly.

Kishiura Miyasu and the other two noticed Chen Xing's gaze, and their expressions became awkward.

"Also, I also heard someone who made your minister very despise commit suicide. His name is Jisang." Conan's tone narrowed, "And that person named Jisang and your elder sister, you were a lover before."

Kishiura Mika bit her lip, and at this time, Officer Meguchi asked, "Are these real?"

"Yes, it's true." She turned around and said, "When talking about this, Chucun is still Jisang's senior, and Xiaomu joined the company at the same time as Jisang."

Xiao Mu Wenping quickly said, "Think about it, it's just a pool club and a dart, so it won't make people want to kill the other party, right?"

During the subsequent inquiry, because these three people had the opportunity to get along with the victim who was already drunk at the time, Officer Megumi decided to search the three people first and check their personal belongings.

...

"The clubs used to play billiards do look like high-priced products."

Officer Meguru touched the billiard club in his hand, and he was not very interested.

"Yes, one was originally priced at 160,000 yuan, but later it was sold for only 100,000 yuan, just for the minister." Kenseki Chumura said: "Of course, just like what the kids heard just now, I didn't think about using such expensive things as birthday gifts at first, so I was really dissatisfied."

He laughed at himself, "But do you think anyone would kill someone for such a reason?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kogoro Mouri said, "But if you add a poison needle in front of the club, you can stab it in a cold way even if you are a distance from the table?"

"If I do such a striking action, someone would have seen it?" Kence Hakumura was afraid that everyone would believe the famous detective's words, so he quickly looked at the female bartender, "Can you prove that I didn't do that right?"

Fukui Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes, and after the minister got drunk, the pool club was taken into the box."

Meanwhile, Officer Meguro began to check the box of metal darts.

Xiao Mu Wenping said: "Because I got a dartboard of some age from my grandfather's relics and handed it to the minister, the minister asked me to buy hard darts to him. I don't play any darts at all."

Kogoro Mouri raised his eyebrows, "I remembered that when your minister pretended to shoot a dart at you, you were scared to death, right?"

Xiao Mu Wenping said awkwardly: "Yes, I was really scared to death at that time."

Kogoro Mouri suddenly leaned closer and stared at his fat face, "So, did you apply poison on the front of the dart and shoot the minister to death from a distance?"

"Didn't I say that I'm not good at shooting darts," Xiao Muwenping said anxiously: "And if you shoot from a distance, it's easier to get close and stab it."

"That's true." Maori Kogoro's suspicion has always come quickly and is also dispelled quickly.

"If you suspect it, you can find out if you investigate and look at it?" Xiao Mu Wenping said: "Look at whether the needle of the dart is poisonous."

"I'm just thinking." Officer Megu closed the dart box with a "slap".

Finally, check the poster and camera negatives bought by Kishiura Mikazu.

"Compared with the other two, it's really much cheaper."

"There is also a signature on that poster, which cost me 30,000!" Kishiura Shiga snorted, "But because the minister kept saying to me, I had to buy it for him."

Conan came to the poster and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, "The wet part on the poster smells like grapefruit!"

As Officer Meguri unfolded the poster, Kogoro Mouri, who was originally doing nothing next to him, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Wait, this is..."

"Did uncle find out too?" Conan's eyes moved.

"Isn't this Yoko's signature poster?" Kogoro Mouri's face turned red, "I was still photographed in a fantasy western bikini!"

"..." Conan.

"And don't get wet?" The detective jumped in pain, "Will this make the beauty become Sai Xi wet!"
