Chapter 624 ‘Good Citizen’ (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

What was originally a simple case suddenly became more difficult due to the death of Masato Saijo.

No one knows how Saijo Masato was poisoned, let alone when he was poisoned.

everything.

Have to start from the beginning.

Regarding the detection of VX neurotoxin, professional instruments are required, which cannot be solved by Sakaki with only two hands and knowledge.

Detection takes a lot of time, obviously

The Metropolitan Police can't wait.

It is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not true. If the prisoner really used VX neurotoxin, then the nature of this case is very bad.

"It must be thoroughly investigated!"

Mumu Shisan clenched his fists and said loudly:

"We must not condone the use of chemical weapons by prisoners!"

Sakaki Makoto, Conan, and Hattori Heiji immediately agreed:

"That's right."

"Chemical weapons are indiscriminate attacks, and VX neurotoxin is fatal if exposed to them. The source must be found."

Although

There are currently no signs of poisoning in other people. The prisoner probably did not want to harm innocent people and only used neurotoxin on Masato Saijo.

but

No matter what the opponent's purpose is, highly lethal chemical weapons such as VX neurotoxin cannot be left alone.

After knowing that the place where Saijo Masato was poisoned was not in the lounge, Megure Thirteen became bolder.

He walked out of the lounge and asked Takagi Wataru to call the circus members backstage for questioning.

It varies from person to person, and VX neurotoxin cannot kill instantly. Its onset usually takes dozens of minutes or even hours, and in some cases, it takes more than ten hours for typical symptoms to appear.

The so-called typical symptoms usually refer to the excessive accumulation of acetylcholine in the body, resulting in miosis, eye pain, blurred vision, cough, chest tightness, rapid breathing, headache, and nausea.

At the beginning.

Sakaki Cheng did notice something strange about Masato Saijo.

but

He thought it was the weather and a guilty conscience.

who would have thought

Masato Saijo was poisoned?

Two murders occurred in a short period of time, at the same location, with different perpetrators. This situation

Sakaki didn't see much either.

Careless.

As long as the onset time of VX neurotoxin is known, the scope of investigation will be narrowed accordingly. Mumu Shisan made a rough estimate and gave an interval:

"It is now 12 o'clock at noon, which is 20 hours."

"Did Saijo Masato leave the circus between 4pm yesterday and just now?"

The circus members gathered in a group and whispered among themselves, seeming to be discussing things about Masato Saijo.

According to common sense

The police will be more effective if they separate the suspects when questioning them.

However, due to time constraints, the top priority was to determine the location of the neurotoxin, so Mumu Thirteen had no choice but to adopt other methods.

In just one hour, the troupe leader and deputy troupe leader died one after another. The members of Sunshine Circus were lying if they said they were not afraid.

They were so frightened at this moment, how could they dare to hide it?

I just ask the police to catch the criminal quickly and save me a lot of sleepless nights.

"No."

After waiting for a while, a member of the group finally spoke, and it was Xiao Qian who was in charge of the trapeze project:

"Our group came to Tokyo three days ago and is expected to perform for one month."

"Because they have to perform for 12 hours a day, the members are very tired and don't have much rest time. They usually don't leave the backstage except to buy food."

"Originally, the group leader planned to invite us to have a drink together tonight."

As she spoke, her tears fell down her cheeks like lost beads.

Not only the feeling of mourning for the leader, but also the confusion and sadness about the future.

"That is to say."

Eyes brightened, Mu Mu Shisan asked:

"Masato Saijo has not left this area from yesterday to now?"

"Um"

Xiao Qian nodded:

"If nothing happens, Deputy Commander Saijo usually stays in his lounge."

"That's it."

Megure Thirteen looked at Sakaki and whispered:

"Brother, I guess the poisoned prisoner is in Circus Sunshine!"

"What do you think?"

"."

Isn't this nonsense?

Everyone has made it very clear that Masato Saijo has never left the circus, which naturally rules out the possibility of outsiders committing the crime.

Sakaki wanted to say this, but...

He patted Mumu Shisan on the shoulder and said encouragingly:

"Good reasoning!"

"But there is another question. Masato Saijo has never left the circus, so has he ever come into contact with people outside the circus?"

“How is liquid nitrogen obtained?”

Hearing this, Xiao Qian said with some uncertainty:

"Probably. No."

"In the past two days, Deputy Captain Saijo has only interacted with a few guests, and it was in public."

"It's impossible to hide some liquid nitrogen tank"

Hearing this, Sakaki formed a prototype of the case in his mind.

The liquid nitrogen tank can be placed in the luggage and carried around with the circus.

Say it again

Masato Saijo might have started taking action a long time ago, but Captain Haneda was lucky and the lock never broke.

Wait a minute!

Sakaki's body suddenly shook.

Hypothesis: Masato Saijo planned to use the excuse of pharyngitis to return to the backstage to quietly dispose of the liquid nitrogen tank after Captain Haneda died.

So

How did his female disciple Qianxia get the liquid nitrogen tank?

You know, after Sakaki came off the platform, Megure Thirteen and others had already arrived.

Before that, no one knew the whereabouts of Masato Saijo.

But Qianxia was able to accurately dig out the liquid nitrogen tank.

Why?

Could it be

Sakaki looked at the ordinary and inconspicuous Chinatsu who was standing among the crowd.

Noticing his gaze, Qianxia smiled shyly and lowered her head shyly.

This harmless smile

He doesn't look like a prisoner.

Of course, there are four words in Sakaki Cheng's dictionary: pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but that has to be divided.

"Miss Chinatsu."

Pushing up his sunglasses, Sakaki asked:

"May I ask where you found the liquid nitrogen tank hidden by Masato Saijo?"

"It's in the woods just outside the back door."

Chinatsu tilted her head and said with a puzzled look:

"Mr. Sakaki, after you come down from the tower, I plan to go find the master and ask him about his physical condition."

"But he wasn't in the lounge, so I had to go out to look for him, but it didn't work out."

"I just happened to see Master sneaking around, holding a shovel in his hand, as if he was burying something."

"I hid subconsciously. When Master returned to the back door, I went to check and found the liquid nitrogen tank."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Sakaki narrowed his eyes and said keenly:

"The location of the liquid nitrogen tank was found in the woods, so why did you dig it up again after Masato Saijo buried it?"

"Isn't he your master?"

"yes!"

Chinatsu said quickly:

"Master brought me into the circus, and I respect him very much!"

"But Captain Haneda fell from a high altitude. I'm afraid someone deliberately harmed him, so..."

"Isn't it the responsibility of good citizens to assist the police in handling cases?"
