Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 117

"Actually, I didn't know about this until just now. It was your behavior that told me this fact." Facing Zemu Fair's puzzled and surprised eyes, Ishino explained, "I know that you, as a professional wine tasting Teacher, the sense of taste should be quite sensitive, and it is necessary to avoid contact with foods that irritate the tongue as much as possible.”

"But just now when you drank metoclopramide oral liquid, which has an obvious bitter taste, you didn't react at all, which made me conclude that there is a problem with your sense of taste."

"The reason why I know that you have suffered some kind of accident before is because I saw in your case report that you had a concussion record three months ago. I think your taste disorder should be in the It came after that, right?"

"But Mr. Sawaki has been working as a bartender until recently. If the sense of taste disappears, how can he do it?" Ren Saburo Shiratori asked.

"I think with his decades of experience in wine tasting, he should be able to make accurate evaluations and processing methods for most wines only by aroma and color." Ishino gave his own judgment.

Listening to Ishino's well-founded analysis, not only Sawaki himself, but also Mori and others who participated in the analysis of the case were shocked.

Especially Conan, who has been with adults like them, never thought that under the same intelligence conditions, Ishino could discover the truth from such imperceptible details and limited information.

If it is only inferior to the opponent in terms of fighting ability and knowledge reserve, it is acceptable. After all, Ishino's physical fitness is obvious to all, and he is more than ten years older than him.

But this time, from deciphering the code at the beginning to discovering the motive of the prisoner, this is a manifestation of pure reasoning ability, which makes Conan, who has always been extremely conceited in reasoning, feel a deep sense of frustration.

Fortunately, Conan is an optimistic person, and he has solved many cases during this period. A single setback will not affect his self-confidence, but he obviously regards Ishino as a strong competitor in reasoning.

"Whether there is any problem with your sense of taste, I think it should be confirmed as long as you have an examination at the hospital..." Looking at the struggling Zeki, Ishino continued to speak in a cold voice.

"No need!" Fairy Zemu interrupted what Ishino wanted to continue, and said with a wry smile, "I did hit my head in some accident three months ago, which caused a concussion. After that, my sense of taste slowed down. Slowly disappearing..."

"However, this does not prove that I started the killing plan for revenge. After all, I just accidentally fell and hit my head at home. As for my previous behavior of attacking others, it is just my desire to continue enjoying my beloved work. It's just human jealousy!"

"It's useless to lie now." Seeing that the other party was still stubborn, Ishino directly denied, "I think you must have been in a car accident."

Hearing this, Zemu Fairy's eyes widened, and the astonished expression clearly proved the other party's guess was correct.

Under the inconceivable gaze of everyone, Ishino explained unhurriedly: "You only had a concussion in your previous case report, but no record of trauma, which means that you most likely suffered the shock while wearing a helmet. .”

"I checked your motorcycle up close before, and there were obvious signs of impact and scuffs, so you must have had an accident while riding it. I think just ask the traffic department to call it. It was cleaned three months ago You should be able to find the video data of your accident by calling the monitoring section of the road where the scratches and debris are recorded on the road surface."

Seeing that Ishino recovered what happened to him three months ago with just a few words, Ze Muyi completely gave up resistance, and honestly explained the reason for his accident and the target he wanted to take revenge on.

Three months ago, on his way home, Koyama Nana was speeding a sports car, forcing the motorcycle he was driving to overturn to avoid avoidance, resulting in a head injury.

However, the other party escaped after the accident and she was not able to get medical treatment immediately. If she could call an ambulance immediately, maybe she would not lose her sense of taste. This made Zemu fair to have the idea of ​​killing the culprit.

Although everyone present knew from Zemu Fairy’s self-report that the name of the target he wanted to kill had “Nana” in its name, which sounds the same as the number 7, they still couldn’t understand that the other party had to go to great lengths to target a single person. Start with the number 13 and implement the plan.

Ishino, who knew the truth, naturally knew that the reason for this question was because the prisoner, Zemu Fairy, hadn't told the whole truth, but he was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for the police to deliver the last piece of the puzzle.

The fact is exactly as Ishino expected, it didn’t take long for Shiratori to receive a call from the Metropolitan Police Department, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Ishino excitedly: “Mr. The person who mentioned the two conditions is a prisoner who was just released last week, Murakami Takeshi!"

"Murakami Jo?! I seem to have heard this name somewhere..." After hearing this name, Mori Kogoro tried to recall something, but Sawaki, who was leaning on the hospital bed, froze immediately.

"Mr. Mori, have you forgotten? That Mr. Murakami was the murderer you personally arrested ten years ago!" Shiratori Rensaburo helped explain, "During the interrogation, Mr. Murakami once hijacked him at gunpoint under the pretext of going to the toilet. For Ms. Fei Yingli who brought Xiaolan to the police station to see you."

"Didn't you shoot twice in a row in order to subdue Murakami, one of which accidentally hit Madam Concubine? It was precisely because of this that you chose to resign from the police job, right?"

"Okay, you don't need to talk about it. I already remembered who he is. The reason why he was arrested was because he killed someone because of a conflict of interest when he was a poker dealer. He is indeed a perfect target." Mao Li Kogoro interrupted Shiratori's narration, a little reluctant to recall that period of the past.

But what he didn't expect was that Xiaolan, who hurried over from Feiyingli's side as soon as she heard that the prisoner who almost killed her mother had been caught, was standing outside the door right now, and happened to overhear their previous conversation ...

"So, where is Mr. Murakami now? Have you found any trace of him?" Mori Kogoro asked Shiratori.

"I don't have this yet. I have already arranged personnel to conduct a follow-up investigation, but it is not easy to find him in the vast crowd..." Shiratori Ren Sanlang said with some embarrassment.

"I don't think we need to send someone to look for it." Ishino said suddenly, and said fairly to Zemu who was sitting on the hospital bed under the eyes of everyone who didn't know why, "Why don't you ask Mr. Zemu who is the person involved, I believe He'll tell us where Murakami is."
