Chapter 1295 Acute Sudden Death (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

"There are no signs of a fight in the bathroom, and there are no external injuries or bruises on Akutagawa's body. First of all, murder with blunt or sharp weapons can be ruled out."

Kidd and Mouri Kogoro squatted in front of the corpse and tore off the corpse's clothes without using a knife. They just analyzed clues based on the physical condition of the deceased.

After inspecting all parts of the body, Kogoro Mouri turned on his flashlight and shined a light on the body's wide-open pupils:

"The pupils are dilated, the face is blue, and the lips are blue. These are all signs of death from hypoxia, such as sudden death."

"I remember that cyanide poisoning can also cause sudden death symptoms, right?"

Mumu Shisan asked:

"I have encountered similar cases before. The deceased inhaled high concentrations of cyanide gas and died within two minutes without any chance of rescue."

"Yes, there are many types of sudden death, and cyanide poisoning can also cause sudden death."

Mouri Kogoro nodded:

"However, corpses that died of cyanide poisoning usually have a faint smell of bitter almonds in their mouths. Akutagawa Ichibo's mouth did not have a similar smell, but it would be a bit hasty to judge that he was not poisoned by cyanide based on this alone, so It’s better to ask the forensics department to check the objects in the room that Akutagawa touched to see if there are any cyanide residues on them.”

"Butler, did Akutagawa Ichiban eat or drink anything before he died?"

"have."

The butler in a tuxedo on the side immediately replied:

"This morning, the young master ate two fried eggs, three slices of bacon, a glass of milk and a little mashed purple potato. He had a piece of filet mignon with Bordeaux red wine for lunch, and then took some painkillers and penicillin V potassium tablets. , I took it with warm water. Apart from these, the young master didn’t eat anything else.”

"As for the cyanide poisoning that Detective Maori mentioned just now, I think it is unlikely because the young master pays great attention to hygiene. He thinks there are too many bacteria on his hands. He generally does not touch food directly and only uses tableware to assist."

"Um?"

Mouri Kogoro frowned. Just because Akutagawa didn't touch the food with his hands, it didn't mean that he wouldn't be poisoned by cyanide. However, it would be easier to detect. Just check the tableware he used to understand the cause of his death.

but

"Painkillers and penicillin V potassium tablets? Why does Akutagawa take these things?"

"Master, he is afraid of pain, so he takes painkillers to control the pain in his legs."

The steward explained:

"As for the penicillin V potassium tablets, it is because the injured leg of the young master has an open fracture. In order to avoid wound infection, the doctor recommended that he take some anti-inflammatory drugs."

"So when Akutagawa took the medicine, he didn't use it?"

"No need. As long as you pour the medicine into the bottle cap, can't you take the medicine without contact?"

"Well, Megure Police Department, please let the Forensics Section examine Akutagawa's used tableware and medicine bottles."

"Leave it to me."

Megure Thirteen immediately ordered the forensics class and got a used tableware and medicine bottle from Akutagawa.

The test results came out quickly. No cyanide residue was found in either the tableware or the medicine bottles.

Faced with such a result, Maori Kogoro fell into deep thought.

"Sudden death is also divided into acute sudden death and non-acute sudden death."

Conan, who was bored aside, suddenly said:

"Acute sudden death usually only takes tens of seconds to cause death, while non-acute sudden death sometimes takes a whole day, that is, 24 hours."

"Generally, as long as you notice that you have symptoms such as chest tightness, difficulty breathing, abdominal pain or palpitations, and they do not improve for a long time, you must go to the hospital for examination."

Bourbon glanced at Conan and agreed:

"Conan is right. We also had a conversation with Akutagawa Ichibuki this afternoon. He behaved very normally at that time and there was nothing strange about him. So he should have died of acute sudden death, right, Mr. Butler?"

"Yes, around two o'clock in the afternoon, the young master needed to go to the bathroom, so I brought the crutches and helped him into the bathroom. Then I waited outside until five minutes later, a muffled sound suddenly came from the bathroom. It sounded like someone had fallen. I hurriedly asked the young master, but there was no response. As a last resort, I had to use the key to open the toilet and found the young master lying on the ground, no longer breathing. "

The steward said sadly:

"The young master is usually in good health and has never suffered from cardiovascular diseases. He just went to the toilet. Could he die suddenly?"

"Really healthy people will not die suddenly."

Mouri Kogoro thought:

"The heart is very fragile, but it's not that fragile. Since Akutagawa died suddenly, there must be a reason."

Without professional tools, even if Sakaki was present at the scene, it would be impossible to perform a laparotomy on the body. What's more, sudden death has always been a difficult way to detect death. Chemical tests need to be carried out on each organ to see if there are any lesions.

It is difficult to tell the cause of Akutagawa Ichibo's death just from his appearance.

"Could it be that this is really an accident?"

Mumu Shisan was a little surprised. According to his usual experience, cases that seemed to be accidental were ultimately man-made.

But this time, the opinions of Brother Sakaki and Brother Mori were surprisingly consistent.

"Let the forensics department test the drugs Akutagawa took."

Sakaki Makoto, who was staying outside the villa, heard everyone's discussion and felt itchy. He wanted to rush up and point out the important points, but when he thought that Gin asked him not to interfere and leave everything to Mouri Kogoro, he had to stop and stop:

"Forget it, let's just ignore this case."

However.

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro suddenly stood up, walked to the forensics department staff, and asked for the painkillers and penicillin V potassium tablets that Akutagawa had taken. After unscrewing the bottle cap, he poured out all the white tablets inside. On the table.

"Brother Maori, what are you doing?"

Mumu Shisan looked at him doubtfully.

"Drugs can also cause death."

Mouri Kogoro said softly:

"Do you know that taking too much painkillers can cause arrhythmia?"

"This is because the main component of analgesics has the clinical effect of inhibiting nerve activity. Similarly, excessive use of penicillin can also cause symptoms of hyperreflexia, sensory impairment, and temporary mental disorder."

"For normal people, sudden death is likely to occur after taking a large amount of drugs for treating heart disease, controlling blood pressure, sedatives, correcting electrolytes, and lowering blood sugar. Miss Reiko, does your husband take any drugs for lowering blood pressure?"

".have."

Ogawa Reiko nodded:

"But he only takes blood pressure medication when he feels dizzy. He probably didn't take any medication today."

"Young master ate it!"

The steward suddenly shouted:

"This morning, the young master felt a little dizzy when he got up, so he asked me to get him some antihypertensive pills! How could I have forgotten this!"
