    Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Companions

    Mouri Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously stretched out his hand to shake hands with Akechi Kengo: “This is our first meeting, Mr. Akechi, do you know me?”

    Akechi Kengo shook hands with Mouri Kogoro and said politely: “I once saw your talk show on TV. It was very innovative and fresh in my memory.”

    He lowered his head and reached out to stop Edogawa Conan, who wanted to take the opportunity to confirm the victim’s life and death: “Children, you are not allowed to get close to this place for the time being.”

    Edogawa Conan was stopped:…

    He subconsciously showed the aggrieved expression of a child: “But…”

    “You little brat!” Mouri Kogoro interrupted Edogawa Conan’s cuteness plan, angrily picked up the child and put it aside, “Don’t always dispose of corpses without permission!”

    “Corpse!!!”

    The other guests who heard Mouri Kogoro’s words immediately screamed in surprise.

    Edogawa Conan’s expression changed, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Dr. Agasa: “Doctor, hold the door!”

    Akechi Kengo heard this and looked at Edogawa Conan appreciatively.

    Mouri Kogoro also reacted in time and said loudly: “Everyone, I am the famous detective Moori Kogoro. Please return to your place and stop running around!”

    It turns out that the title of detective is of some use in Nagano Prefecture, but not much.However, the restaurant door is already guarded by a waiter.The panicked guests returned to their seats after the clerk patiently consoled them and the boss generously offered drinks and side dishes.

    Mouri Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch the corpse’s neck to confirm that there was indeed no pulse.He looked at Mao Lilan: “Xiaolan, have you called the police?”

    Mao Lilan nodded: “I have already called Officer Yui.”

    After a while, police sirens came from the street outside the door.

    Edogawa Conan heard Akechi Kengo say with appreciation: “Nagano Prefecture’s police dispatch speed is good.”

    He looked up at Akechi Kenwu and asked curiously: “Mr. Akechi, are you also a detective?”

    Akechi Kenwu replied: “I am not a detective, but I am very interested in reasoning.”

    At this time, a man and a woman pushed the door open and entered.The man had a fierce look on his face, a cross scar on his left eye, and was leaning on a cane.The woman holds her long hair, beautiful and capable.

    A group of Maori people greeted their acquaintances one after another: “Yamato Police Department, Officer Uehara.”

    “It’s you!” The Yamato Police Department didn’t look surprised. After all, they recommended this restaurant to a group of Maori people. They didn’t expect that a murder would occur.

    When Mouri Kogoro saw an acquaintance coming, he loosened his tie and sighed helplessly: “Really, it’s just like one wave after another!”

    He looked at Mao Lilan: “Xiaolan, take these children back first.”

    “We can also help!” Several children stood next to Edogawa Conan, eagerness to try was written on their faces.

    “No!” Mouri Kogoro flatly refused, “Since you have finished eating, go back first.”

    “No!” the children said unconvinced, “We are a young detective team!”

    “This is no joke!” Yamato Police Department shouted.

    Several children who were unfamiliar with him were immediately frightened by the vicious-looking police.

    Uehara Yui knelt down and talked to several children in a friendly manner: “I know you are very powerful. You have helped a lot before. This time, I will leave it to the uncles and aunts, okay?”

    The three children looked at each other in confusion and couldn’t help but look at the ‘parents’ who really made the decision in the Junior Detective Team.

    Haibara Ai took a look at today’s police lineup and thought that there was indeed no need for the Young Detective Team to appear, so she seemed to say obediently: “Okay, I also feel very tired last night, and now I want to continue to rest.”

    After hearing what Haihara Ai said, Yoshida Ayumi immediately said with concern: “Since Xiao Ai is very tired, let’s rest.”

    Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was a little annoyed that he hadn’t noticed it before: “Haihara-san worked so hard yesterday and must be very tired now.”

    Kojima Mota was a little reluctant, but still said: “…Okay then.”

    The four children followed Dr. A Li and Mao Lilan, who were responsible for taking care of them, and left near the crime scene. Like other customers in the store, they accepted a simple questioning from the police before leaving.

    Moto Kojima stared back at Edogawa Conan step by step, and asked unwillingly: “Why can Conan just stay? He was also very tired yesterday!”

    Hui Yuan Ai complained coldly: “That’s why he doesn’t grow taller.”

    Not growing taller is an eternal curse for children. The three real children immediately cooperated and left.

    Edogawa Conan, who was sympathized by the three children, was unaware and was following the police step by step.

    Mouri Kogoro looked at this dragster with disgust: “Why didn’t you go with them?”

    Edogawa Conan looked up at Mouri Kogoro and showed an innocent smile: “Hehehehe.”

    “Why are you pretending to be stupid?!” Mouri Kogoro complained, “Really…”

    “Let him stay.” Yamato Police Department walked swiftly on crutches, “This kid can help a lot.”

    Edogawa Conan’s eyes lit up: “Yamato Police Department, are the autopsy results out?”

    “He was poisoned to death,” the Yamato Police Department said. “The same poison was found in his drink.”

    He looked at a certain waiter who was taken out alone and began to question: “I heard that when the body was discovered and the guests wanted to leave, you were waiting at the door of the restaurant to stop them? You reacted very quickly!”

    Mouri Kogoro immediately followed: “Did you already know that someone would die?!”

    “No!” The clerk shook his head in horror and pointed at Akechi Genwu, “It was the silver-haired gentleman who asked us to do this.”

    “Oh?” Yamato Police Department’s sharp eyes turned to Akechi Kengo.

    Edogawa Conan added clues: “Mr. Akechi was also the first person to touch the body and judge that the victim was dead.”

    “Huh?!” Yamato Police Department took two steps on crutches and approached Akechi Kensoo. His tall and muscular figure and ferocious face brought a sense of oppression.He asked suspiciously: “Who are you?”

    Kengo Akechi smiled and said: “I am a policeman from the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. I am on vacation now. I subconsciously took action when I saw the person falling.”

    “Huh?!” Edogawa Conan and Mouri Kogoro were both stunned.

    Mouri Kogoro questioned: “You are a police officer from the Investigation Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. Why don’t I recognize you?!”

    Mingzhi Jianwu explained calmly: “I just received the transfer order two days ago. I will not officially report until the vacation is over.”

    He took out his police officer ID card and handed it to the Yamato Police Department for inspection.

    The Yamato Police Department took it and looked at the police officer’s ID card, then looked up at Akechi Kengo who seemed to be checking it.

    After checking, he returned the police officer’s certificate to Akechi Kenwu and warned: “Even the police can’t remove the suspicion.”

    “I completely agree with this.” Mingzhi Jianwu nodded politely in agreement.

    After the Yamato Police Department said their harsh words, it was Officer Uehara’s turn to use gentle tactics.

    The pretty policewoman always makes people more patient: “Please wait in the restaurant for a while, and you can leave after we have completely eliminated your suspicion.”

    “Then the three of you are the ones related to the deceased Ichiro Takahashi.” Yamato Police Department looked at the man and two women in front of them.

    They were the other three people sitting at the same table with the deceased, namely the deceased’s brother Takahashi Jiro, the deceased’s girlfriend Watanabe Sayuri and the deceased’s brother’s girlfriend Ito Haruko.

    Today is a four-person date with two brothers and their girlfriends.According to the testimony, they went to the mall in the morning and came to this restaurant to eat at noon. Halfway through the meal, Ichiro Takahashi was poisoned and died.

    Jiro Takahashi huddled aside with a bewildered face, biting his nails anxiously, as if he had not yet woken up from the tragic fact.The two girls gathered together in fear, Watanabe Sayuri sobbing softly.Haruko Ito is comforting her.

    Police Officer Uehara reported: “We have checked all the dishes and tableware on the table. Only Ichiro Takahashi’s cup had toxic residue. It is basically certain that the cause of death of the deceased was drinking poisonous wine.”

    She lowered her voice to ensure that the suspect could not hear: “We checked the belongings of the other three people, and none of them carried any containers suspected of containing poison.”

    The author has something to say:
