Stay away from Conan

Chapter 649 Outlying Island

At this moment, when he heard the commotion at the scene, Conan, who was still in the broadcast room, realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly ran down.

Looking at Masato Shimizu who had fallen to the ground in the room, Conan couldn't help but froze on the spot, a little at a loss -

he……

committed suicide...

Indeed, my reasoning was correct.

In order to clarify the method used to kill Tatsuji Kuroiwa in the third incident, the murderer must have removed the poisonous needle stained with fugu poison from the scene afterwards. However, after the incident, everyone present was arrested by the police. He was forced to stay at the scene on the pretext of interrogation. There was no chance that the murderer would take away the poisonous needle.

Therefore, this became the only evidence to identify the murderer.

In order to prevent the murderer from getting rid of the poisonous needle, which was the murder weapon and was also the most favorable evidence to identify the murderer, under this circumstance, he chose to reveal the truth directly.

In this way, as long as the murderer is controlled, all subsequent problems will be solved...

But……

The poisonous needle used as the murder weapon was indeed on the murderer's body...

He actually...

So, was it his own judgment that drove him to death?

Regretful, Conan didn't know what to say next to express his emotions——

As a detective, the more difficult to solve the case, the more excited you will be. In the process of chasing the criminal to the end, you only need to experience this sense of accomplishment once. If you can't stop and continue to be a detective, then now...

Is this also caused by yourself?

Obviously, when he was in Hakone Town, when he faced Mai Nishida who used Xiaolan as a threat to make it difficult for him, or when he faced the aggressive posture of forensic doctor Hirata Hatsumi, he never felt as much as he did this time. Strong sense of frustration.

But this time, the murderer chose to commit suicide in front of everyone during his questioning step by step. Such a result...

Conan, who lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, began to tremble a little, as if if he could go back in time, even if he risked the murderer disposing of all the evidence, he would not be as anxious as he is now. Just start your reasoning like this...

But now, pufferfish poison is an incurable and extremely poisonous, and because it enters the blood circulation directly through the wound, Masato Shimizu is certain to die——

Even though there are still some weak vital signs at this moment, due to the special characteristics of pufferfish poison, the toxin cannot cross the barrier of blood cells in the brain. Therefore, Masato Shimizu, who is paralyzed and unable to move, will become conscious within the shackles of his body. Dying helplessly...

"So, is this the end..."

Muttering, Conan said feebly——

"The murderer of the three incidents, Masato Shimizu, died. At the same time, it was also confirmed that the person smuggling illegal drugs still on the island was Hirata Kazuaki... This is the only way to close the case, Officer Megure..."

Gao Yuan calmed down his emotions a little and understood what was happening at the scene. He glanced at Conan, who was lowering his head and feeling depressed. Gao Yuan couldn't help but explain to Officer Memu.

In response, Officer Memu could only sigh helplessly——

Now that the matter has come to this, with the murderer's suicide, all the truth can only be settled here.

In this way, when the police received the autopsy results of Ken Nishimoto and Hideo Kawashima from the Metropolitan Police Department, they confirmed two things -

First, Ken Nishimoto had never taken illegal drugs before, so it was the first time he took a large dose of illegal drugs, which led to Ken Nishimoto's death.

This can rule out the inference that Ken Nishimoto died unexpectedly due to an overdose of illegal drugs.

As for the second point, there are very slight signs of being controlled by Hideo Kawashima. Combined with the police's later investigation, it was found that he was actually a very good person in water, so the possibility that he would drown in the sea is very small. .

Therefore, these two points also confirm that the two of them were actually killed.

After that, the police found a lot of illegal drugs in the homes of Hirata Kazuaki and Kawashima Hideo, so the police and people from the Narcotics Control Department naturally arrested Hirata Kazuaki.

As for the subsequent development, Gao Yuan and others, who have already boarded the ship and left the island, no longer care about it——

"So, when Mr. Mingzhi went out to investigate, did he find anything else?"

On the boat off the island, leaning in front of the plywood railing, Conan looked at the endless sea with a melancholy look on his face, and slowly asked Gao Yuan beside him:

"Could it be that with the death of Masato Shimizu, many doubts will never be solved?"

"What can be done..."

Slightly helpless, Gao Yuan also looked at the sea from a distance and replied calmly:

"After all... you only have one life. After you die, you can no longer speak..."

After hearing this, Conan looked even more depressed and was speechless for a long time.

In this regard, looking at Conan's reaction, Gao Yuan remained calm and very emotional, thinking back to the last thing he did the night before leaving -

"So...should I call you..."

With the death of Masato Shimizu, and the context of the smuggling of illegal drugs on the island has gradually been clarified, when the incident should have ended here, standing in front of the police station on the island, looking at the only one on the island, that When he saw the old policeman, Gao Yuan still couldn't hold back his curiosity when there was no one else around, so he asked the old policeman——

"Keiji Aso!"

As soon as these words came out, the old policeman's expression did not change much. Under his glasses, his eyes only lingered on Gao Yuan for a moment, and then he yawned as if nothing had happened, and turned back to the police station. Sitting in the duty seat of the department, not saying a word——

"Although it seems that you did nothing in the whole thing, the key thing is that what you told Conan was the clue that allowed Detective Mori to finally unravel the truth. You may have been trying to force us to suspect Hirata and Akira. body, so I told a lie——

"That is, since Kawashima Hideo and Hirata Kazuaki chose to use the hidden opening of the piano to trade illegal drugs, then it is obvious that they do not need to deliberately meet frequently in the community activity center, and even in order to avoid suspicion, they do not do it at all. Go to the piano room of the community activity center to pick up and place illegal drugs and cash at separate times.

"How could it be possible, in their position, to be found to be closely connected?"

Although the old policeman said nothing, when faced with such questioning, the other party did not even reply with a question, so Gao Yuan couldn't help but continue -

"But compared to this, the thing that I find most incomprehensible is actually the music score left by Keiji Aso from twelve years ago...

“There is one thing mentioned above that makes me feel very inconsistent——

"That is, if according to the interpretation of the music score, Aso Keiji used the same music score code to communicate with the four people when they were conducting illegal drug smuggling transactions, then why did Aso Keiji use the code before his death? This kind of code writes this kind of music score——

"Isn't he worried that not only will this music score not be passed into the hands of his children, but there is a risk of being discovered by those four people?"

With a serious look on his face, Gao Yuan seemed to be asking questions by himself, and murmured...
