A Strong Almond Smell, What a Seasoned Actor

With one person feigning death just now, and this happening again, the crowd was clearly less impressed and no longer as frightened as before. They simply assumed that Oogami Shuku Zen was joking, just like Mōgi Harushi.

After all, the story of "lighting the beacon fires to amuse the feudal lords" is the same no matter where it happens.

"Hey, uncle, stop joking like that."

Mōgi Harushi was somewhat speechless. He stepped forward and nudged Oogami Shuku Zen's body, saying, "These are all things I've already played with. There's no point in playing them anymore."

Fujino: "Uh..."

Do you really think everyone makes those pointless jokes like you?

This guy clearly started biting his fingers when something unexpected happened, and in his excitement, he accidentally poisoned himself.

Fujino was speechless for a moment, then stepped forward to take a look, and shook his head. "This time it seems to be true, that old fat man is really dead."

"Ah?"

Mōgi Harushi; clearly, he hadn't expected anyone to actually die.

Hakuba Saguru, however, acted swiftly, glancing at his watch. "22:34."

"The cause of death was Potassium Cyanide poisoning."

Fujino sniffed it, his expression showing some disgust. "It smells like almonds, an old actor."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was slightly taken aback.

They initially thought it was just an act.

But judging from the current expressions of Fujino and Hakuba, it seems that someone really has died.

Moreover, Fujino accurately identified what kind of poison it was.

It was obvious that the person was truly dead, as dead as could be.

Upon hearing Kuroba Kaito's expression hardened slightly, and his mood suddenly became heavy.

At this moment, Tsukida Ikumi also came over, examined Oogami Shuku Zen's body, and shook her head. "No pulse, and there's an almond smell... He was definitely poisoned by Potassium Cyanide."

Mōgi Harushi was taken aback by what he heard, and turned to look at the teacup on the table with surprise. "Is there poison in the tea?"

"The black tea isn't reacting..."

At this moment, Chizen Kōdai placed the coin into the black tea and said, "It seems the reason isn't the black tea."

"It seems the dice have been rolled!"

The dummy, now only a head, continued to speak, "To repay Detective Ōgami for risking his life and to make the start of this competition even more exciting, please do your best to find the treasure!"

"It accurately stated his death... even though it was just a recording."

Hakuba Saguru the mannequin, noting that only the megaphone on its head remained. He then turned to the maid and asked, "Are the serving times all predetermined?"

No... that's right.

The maid was also a little flustered at this point, after all, she couldn't believe that someone could really die in this villa, so she could only honestly confess. "From appetizers to soup, to main courses, and tea snacks, everything was arranged in advance by the master."

Conan stood to the side, staring at Oogami Shuku Zen's corpse, lost in thought.

After a moment's thought, he said in a deep voice, "It seems that the murderer was targeting Mr. Ōgami from the very beginning, and the murderer is probably still among us!"

Everyone looked at Conan upon hearing this, clearly captivated by Conan words.

Fujino narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing that Conan was about to steal the spotlight again.

The key is to stand out in front of so many detectives...

You little punk, aren't you afraid of your identity being exposed?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. This kid completely forgets his identity and the risks it might pose to those around him when he encounters a case.

If it weren't for the aura of the Aoyama Gosho, he would probably be dead long ago.

"Is the killer among us?"

Kuroba Kaito, disguised as Mori Kogoro, glanced back at Conan with a surprised look.

Although it's unknown what kind of anti-aging drug made him small, Conan is clearly aware that he is Kudo Shinichi.

He was somewhat puzzled by the boy's decision to speak in public.

"Because that tape was obviously played in advance."

Conan said in his childish voice, "That person can record beforehand, and then eat with us while listening to the tape..."

"Then, the murderer could take advantage of our inattention while we were eating and try to get Mr. Ōgami to drink Potassium Cyanide, and then poison him to death."

Hakuba Saguru continued Conan's train of thought, squatting down to examine the fresh corpse.

"How embarrassing..."

Mōgi Harushi clicked his tongue. "They actually killed a detective right in front of us detectives."

Tsukida Ikumi pulled out two pairs of gloves from somewhere. "The problem is that no Potassium Cyanide was found in the black tea that the deceased drank, and a coin did not produce any reaction."

Kuroba Kaito silently watched the detectives bustling about.

He had met many detectives and had even watched a lot of detective movies in the past in order to imitate them.

I have quite a bit of knowledge about this kind of scene.

So he asked curiously, "Could the poison have been put on the rim of the cup?"

"Unlikely."

Tsukida Ikumi picked up the teacup and glanced at it, recalling, "He barely drank any tea at all, there's still a lot of residue in it... If it had been poured on the edge of the cup, it wouldn't have killed him like this."

Ran also stood on the edge, not daring to say a word.

She had seen plenty of crime scenes, but this was the first time she had ever seen so many detectives present.

However, after thinking about it, she became somewhat curious.

So he couldn't help but ask, "The person who invited us today is Kaito Kid. Is he really the murderer? I've heard he doesn't kill people..."

"That's the case as far as I know."

Aside from Fujino, only Hakuba Saguru had a relatively close 'friendship' with Kaito Kid, and he was also somewhat puzzled. "This is the first time I've ever encountered a scene like this where Kaito Kid commits murder."

"If you ask me, the person who invited us here this time wasn't Kaito Kid at all."

Fujino said, "If it were Kaito Kid, he wouldn't bother inviting a group of detectives like this. As far as I know, he's only interested in jewels, and he hasn't stolen any other treasures in the years since his comeback. Even if he did steal something, it would always be recovered."

"Brother Fujino's analysis is excellent!"

I completely agree with Kaito Kuroba's disguise Kuroba Kaito Mori Kogoro's voice.

Yeah, it's not him at all!

You all say he looks like me, and he says he looks like me too, but this is definitely not me!

Conan glanced at Mori Kogoro, sensing that something was off about the Uncle Mori today.

Hutu is still as muddle-headed as ever, but he seems to have lost some of his sleazy charm, and his expression is a bit off.

However, he didn't think too much about it, since Uncle Mori had driven the whole way.

Fujino followed them to the gas station along the way, Kaito Kid with absolutely no room to make a move.

Even if it were true, someone like Fujino would have already discovered it and used his special skill [Wooden Sword] to start fighting.

He also sensed that something was wrong.

If today's Kaito Kid is indeed as Fujino said, if he really were Kaito Kid, he would have already found a Museum and tricked a bunch of people into going there to film.
