Mrs. Ninety-nine was indeed here for this. She thought about it and said from the beginning: "A week ago, my husband was resting at home. I went out and when I came back, I couldn't find him anywhere."
"Except for work, he rarely goes out. Even when he leaves home, he will talk to me. I felt a little strange, so I looked for him everywhere.
"No one was in any of the rooms. Then I suddenly remembered something and went to his special magic basement. As soon as the door opened, I saw... I saw him lying motionless on the ground. When I got closer and touched him, he was already cold."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiujiu pressed her forehead painfully: "I called the police and called an ambulance. In the end, the police concluded for me that my husband committed suicide by taking poison. According to their examination, the poison that killed him was
It’s a toxin called aconitine.”
"Aconitine?" Conan was a little surprised that it was not potassium cyanide this time, but as a diligent and studious detective, he was not unfamiliar with this poison. "I remember this is a neurotoxin, mainly from Sichuan Wu
, extracted from the leaves and rhizomes of plants such as Aconite, only two milligrams are needed to be fatal. Once a sufficient amount of aconitine enters the human body, it only takes a few minutes for the person to die quickly."
"Oh? Even aconitine knows about it. As a primary school student, your knowledge is too broad."
A cold voice came from the door. Conan turned his head suddenly and saw a dark-skinned man with blond hair pushing open the door and walking in.
...Boss Amuro? It’s such a coincidence that this guy came here!
Conan thought of what he had just said and secretly broke into a cold sweat. He raised his shield skillfully and said, "Brother Jiang Xia taught me well. I often watch him solve cases!"
"Really." Amuro Toru laughed eccentrically, "I don't remember Jiang Xia ever solving a case related to aconitine. Which case did you learn from?"
Conan: "...?" A collection of newspaper clippings can no longer contain the cases that Jiang Xia has solved, but you can actually remember these details?...Are you investigating him?
He became more and more certain that Mr. Amuro should indeed be classified into vodka and Hashimoto Maya.
But now, it seems that it is not the time to study this in detail - before he can figure out the purpose of this weird boss, he must first get rid of the flaws that he accidentally exposed.
Conan kept the innocent look of his child and deliberately said some childish words: "I am the future successor of Brother Jiang Xia, so he is very serious when teaching me, and he will extend the teaching and talk about it."
Toru Amuro: "..." It makes some sense...but for some reason, he always felt that this child was strange and had some strong sense of disobedience.
But how strange can a child be, no matter how strange it is?
Just as he was thinking a little tangledly, Jiang Xia suddenly interrupted: "Boss? Why are you here?"
The hot water next to him was bubbling. Amuro Toru came back to his senses and picked up the teapot to make a few hot drinks.
He didn't answer Jiang Xia's question, he just put the steaming drink on the coffee table and joined the case smoothly.
——The Amuro Detective Agency is equipped with surveillance cameras and corresponding infrared sensing devices. As soon as someone came in, he immediately received the message.
After further monitoring, it turned out that the person who came here was the wife of a deceased magician... The keyword "magician" made Toru Amuro, who was nearby, immediately leave the Metropolitan Police Department and rush over.
——Although he himself is not that interested in magic, according to the news he received, Hashimoto Maya was not only involved in a magician murder case yesterday, but before that, this Uzo subordinate also appeared in a
Magic show, and directly led to the head of the FBI being invited away for tea.
Putting aside the annoying FBI for the moment, based on his understanding of Uzo, what happens next may still be related to "magic". So this case that comes to his door... he must participate.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro sat next to Jiang Xia and asked Mrs. Jiujiu opposite like a detective: "Go on, you were the only one who found the body in the basement of your home at that time?"
Conan looked at him quietly: "..." This guy actually joined the case without asking any questions about his past history... Was he eavesdropping at the door before? Or is the eavesdropping device in this store working?
.
Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but look around. This seemingly ordinary detective agency seemed to be covered with spider webs in his eyes, like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
Opposite the coffee table, Mrs. Jiujiu didn't notice these small details. When she heard the detective's inquiry, she quickly said: "It wasn't just me, there were also three of my husband's apprentices who helped find people."
Amuro Toru's ears twitched: "Three apprentices?"
The number 3 touched a sensitive nerve in him - Uzo seemed to like to gather this number of suspects, and today's trip to the office seemed to be the right one.
Mrs. Ninety-nine mistakenly thought that his focus was on the word "apprentice". She explained: "I don't know if you usually pay attention to the magic world - my husband Ninety-Nine Yuanyasu is very famous around the world, so
There are also many people who come here to learn from him. Those three apprentices are the best among them, and they are also one of the few genius magicians recognized by my husband."
Toru Amuro became interested: "Tell me in detail." Maybe among these three people, there is someone Usa wants to collude with or persecute.
Mrs. Ninety-nine had obviously watched Jiang Xia's case reports regularly, and was well prepared for this. She reached into her bag and fumbled around, and actually took out a group photo.
"The man in the back is my husband, and the three in front are his apprentices."
She first pointed at one of the handsome young men: "This is the most promising of the three, 'Sanada Ichisan'. You should have heard of him. He has now become the mainstay of Miracle Magic - he is also recognized by the outside world.
'The heir of Ninety-nine Yuan Kang'."
Next to Sanada Ichizo was an average-looking man: "This is Yuji Momochi. He just started his career not long ago, and his skills are at the bottom of the three apprentices. However, he has improved very quickly. As time goes by... Oh, forget it, my husband
Since he has passed away, he will not say these useless words."
Mrs. Ninety-nine sighed, and finally pointed to the beautiful woman on the other side: "This is Miyoshi Asako. Although he is not as famous as Sanada, his skills are also very superb. He is definitely ranked among the younger generation of magicians.
Among female magicians, no one can match her."
Conan looked at the photo and was suddenly startled.
——This group photo seems to have been taken temporarily during practice. Several apprentices are holding their own magic props in their hands.
Among them, Sanada Ichizo is holding a handful of playing cards, Momochi Yuji is holding a few small balls, and Miyoshi Asako... has a dove on her shoulder, and is playing with a white rose between her slender fingers.
Conan: "..." Wait, this rose... why does it look so familiar?
