Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Who Has Potassium Cyanate?

It was late at night, and the cold air unique to the plateau region continued to blow into the spacious living room of "Wanshanzhuang". "Mr. Kindaichi, do you drink alcohol?" "According to the current situation, it can be said that it is a good time for me to do business. Please give me a cup of hot coffee!" "OK." After a while, Taki came in with several cups of coffee on trays, and handed everyone a cup of coffee. "Officer Hibino, it's time for the feature film to start. The first thing to do is..." Officer Hibino put down his coffee cup and said to Hochiyoko:

"Ms. Feng, I want to ask you something. I want to take a step to speak." "No, I can answer your question here, please." Feng Chiyoko calmly looked at Detective Kondo who was preparing notebooks and pencils. Her arrogance during the day was gone now, and Officer Hibino was not as aggressive as he was during the day. Asuka Zhongxi looked at the two of them with great interest. "Well, let me start asking! Did you arrive in Karuizawa yesterday?" "Yes, yesterday I took the train and arrived in Karuizawa at 4:50. When I got off the train, I hailed a taxi and went straight to the hotel. The time I arrived at the hotel room was 5:50."

"Next, where are you calling?" "I called Chung Hee as soon as I got to my hotel room." "Other than that, who else did you call?" "Officer Hibino, you probably want to ask me if I called Tsumura at 5:30? It's a pity that it wasn't me, and it shouldn't be me!" "Why do you say that?" "After I hung up the phone, I checked my watch. It was ten past five. Since Chung Hee was going to come to the hotel to have dinner with me in a while, I didn't have much time to shower and change, so in this case , do you think I have extra time to call anyone else?"

"Regarding this... Officer Hibino, may I say a few words?" "Please say." So Pegasus Zhongxi stood up from the chair with a smile and said: "Chiyoko called me yesterday and she said she wanted to talk to me about her upset. Didn't the power go out last night? I didn't have time to hear Chiyoko mention her upset at that time, but even if I didn't ask, I would know What is she bothering about. Officer Hibino, do you have a TV?" "TV! I have..." "Mr. Interpol, what about you?" "This... My wife is very obsessed with TV recently, especially watching TV series."

Detective Kondo deliberately exaggerated to make people laugh. Kosuke Kindaichi looked at Asuka Tadashi curiously, anticipating what he would say next. "Here is the problem. In the United States, the number of people watching movies has been decreasing day by day. As Mr. Criminal Police said, every housewife sits in front of the TV after finishing the housework. They don't go to the cinema at all. So the current Japanese Movie audiences have begun to be replaced by TV, so Chiyo is the first artist to be eliminated in this situation?" "How is this possible!" "Officer Hibino, it's true, although Chiyoko's salary is quite high, but when the movie goes down, she will become the most exclusive person in show business."

"You know that very well! The show business calls this kind of person a 'wasted star.'" Although Feng Chiyoko echoed Asuka Zhongxi's words with a smile on her face, only Asuka Zhongxi could understand the sadness in the lonely expression on her face. "Therefore, she is now in a dilemma. Chiyoko, you should have heard that returning to the stage is the best choice now!" "what?" Feng Chiyoko was surprised this time, she looked at Asuka Zhongxi with wide eyes. "Zhongxi, you also know about this?" Asuka Zhongxi said with a serious expression:

"Chiyoko, I didn't arrange eyeliner around you, just because you are a well-known actor and I am also well-known in the society, so we can easily obtain all kinds of information. What I just wanted to say is that now there is a A big troupe wants you to play." "Really! You can't hide anything from you." Feng Chiyoko sighed softly. Kosuke Kindaichi knew that Chiyoko Fuze's sigh did not mean she was unhappy. After a while, Feng Chiyoko said quietly: "Of course it's a very honorable thing, and I think it's a great time for a comeback. But to be honest, I don't feel confident about the show myself."

"That's not the case. You have experience in performing new plays and are a successful stage actor." "But if I have to support a large-scale stage play alone in 25 days, I really don't have the confidence to do it. If I fail, the consequences will be disastrous." "But you have to reply to the other party after all!" "They want me to tell them the decision before the 20th, because they still have to make a performance schedule for next year. I am very confused now, and I don't know what to do next, which is why I came to Karuizawa .” Asuka Zhongxi looked at Feng Chiyoko and said:

"Didn't you already have the answer last night?" "what?" Feng Chiyoko held her breath and looked at Asuka Zhongxi's smiling eyes. In the next second, she blushed and said: "You know everything." "I'm not a person who specializes in prying into other people's privacy!" "Ah! I don't mean that." "Let's discuss this matter later." Speaking such intimate words in front of everyone, Asuka Zhongxi couldn't help but blush. He went on to say to Officer Hibino: "Officer Hibino, Chiyoko called me in a dilemma. From the tone of her voice, I could immediately feel her mood. You think, after she called me in that mood, she would still Are you in the mood to call another man?"

Police officer Hibino looked at Kosuke Kindaichi in embarrassment. Just when Kindaichi Kosuke wanted to speak, Sakurai Tetsuo who was sitting on the wicker chair interrupted: "About this...I am...Officer Hibino." "What's up?" "It was just my immature inference just now. The reason why I said that is just a reverse hypothesis from the conclusion. Well... If we believe that Mr. Tsumura killed people, I mean that he killed people with potassium cyanate , This is a planned crime, Mr. Kindaichi, am I right?" "you could put it that way." "But I don't think Mr. Tsumura has the ability to kill people. There must be a misunderstanding."

"Do you know Mr. Tsumura?" Police officer Hibino frowned and asked. "I met him once, when Xizi was there." "Me? When... where did we meet him?" Xizi looked at Tetsuo Sakurai in surprise. Sakurai Tetsuo said very calmly: "Last autumn, a friend of mine's work was selected for an art exhibition. I took Xizi to join him, and I met Mr. Tsumura at the art exhibition. At that time, he was visiting the art exhibition accompanied by a woman, and that woman He happened to be Xizi's classmate in college." "Dad, you know her too, she is Mr. Yamazaki's daughter Tomoko." Xizi also echoed, but Asuka Zhongxi just said coldly: "Is that so... what's next?" "Under Tomoko's introduction, the four of us went to drink tea together and chatted for about half an hour. In many ways, I am very interested in Mr. Tsumura. After careful observation, I found that Mr. Tsumura is very kind , and at the same time a very informal person.” "Uncle, so Tsumura-sensei is very similar to you!" Kazuhiko Murakami suddenly inserted this sentence, which made Asuka Tadashi smile. "What are you talking about, kid? Haha! Mr. Murura is a very talented musician, but he is more informal than I am. To put it mildly, it is informal, but the real meaning should be carelessness! Chiyoko, yes It's not like this?" "He's very good at taking things out of context, but he's also a very kind person." "So I assumed from the beginning that he couldn't use potassium cyanate to kill people. This is just my personal inference. Please don't influence your case because of a sentence I said as a layman." Murakami Kazuhiko then asked: "Mr. Kindaichi, what's Tachibana's opinion on this?" "Tachibana is also like Mr. Sakurai. He believes that Mr. Tsumura can't kill people, and he is quite angry because of this! Haha... He said, can potassium cyanate be bought anywhere? If so, he I'm going to the county police station to report the ineffectiveness in banning banned drugs in Karuizawa... Don't look at his obedient appearance, when he said this, his expression was very excited!" "Mr. Kindaichi, isn't what he said very reasonable?" "It does make sense. The question is who owns the potassium cyanate? Or who carries the potassium cyanate? Also, why is Mr. Tsumura hiding from seeing him when so many people know him?" "Mr. Kindaichi, what do you think about this?" Kosuke Kindaichi looked at Kazuhiko Murakami and said: "No. I'm just beginning to understand a little about it now, and whether I'm called a detective or not, sometimes we just can't do what we want, because Rome wasn't built in a day." Kosuke Kindaichi actually put forward such a "wonderful theory" at this juncture. "What you said is absolutely right. Mr. Kindaichi, I heard that your old partner—Officer Waitoli has come here..." Chang Yingming said this with a smile. As soon as Hideaki's words were finished, Kosuke Kindaichi said in surprise: "Professor Dechang, how do you know about this?" "Wait, Sergeant Li hasn't told you about this yet?" "Which thing?" "Have you seen him?" "We met before. When we went to Asama Yin, he had already come to the place where I lived to find me. ... It's just that this murder case is weird and changeable, and we haven't had time to sit down and talk about it until now." ...Professor Chang, how do you know that the wait force police officer has come here?" "Let me tell you! Wait a moment, Officer Li offended Grandma Dixiaolu this time!" Sakurai Tetsuo took the opportunity to talk about what happened today and the revelation of the police officer's identity from the beginning to the end. After hearing this, Kazuko Kaneda was naturally shocked. "Officer Wait Li has always been cautious in doing things... because there are too many things, we don't have time to talk at all, so I haven't heard him talk about it yet." "Mr. Kindaichi, when I entrusted you to investigate these murders a few days ago, you said that the police department would send someone to investigate this matter in two or three days, and you also said that this person might know the inside story, and you wanted to hear his opinion. Is this the man you're talking about, Sergeant Waitli?" "Yes, but I don't know how much the police officer Waiting Li knows about these murders. He just asked me about the car accident causing death. Is it out of consciousness? Or is it purely accidental? At that time I My intuition told myself that the police officer should be asking about Akutsu Kenzo’s incident, so I said that he might know about this murder case. In fact, the police officer does not know Mrs. Atsuko.” "Why didn't Mrs. Duzi mention this matter just now?" Officer Hibino felt a little disappointed. "Officer Hibino, in fact, my mother-in-law is very sad. She has a strong self-esteem, so she will feel a little unhappy that she is being followed." "Absolutely impossible! Because I told Mr. Asuka a long time ago that the waiter police officer will come here on the weekend... Let's do it! Tonight we will talk about old times at Nanjo's villa, and I will ask him to confirm this matter then. " "The relationship between the two of you is extraordinary." Field Yingming said with a smile. "Because the two of us often help each other, we have become good friends over time." Detective Kondo couldn't help laughing when Kosuke Kindaichi said that. Kindaichi Kosuke suddenly turned his head to look at Asuka Tadashi and said: "Mr. Asuka, please tell the truth tonight!" "the truth?" "You met Mr. Shen recently, right?" Asuka Zhongxi grinned and said: "Oh, is it because of the archaeological collection? Officer Hibino." "yes." "Please forgive me for this matter. You and I were very emotional at the time, so I didn't say anything about it. What happened is like this. Mr. Tianshen Omae came to visit me quietly. He is from the Shiratori Society Tai Zhu, I heard that he was absent from last year's autumn exhibition. This year, in order to save face, he wanted to exhibit his works no matter what, but he was troubled by lack of inspiration. So he wanted to read books on archaeology and learn from them. Some inspiration, will come to me to borrow a book to go back to study." "Did you talk about anything else?" "I think 'looking for inspiration' is just an excuse. He might want to talk to me about things, but when I think about it now, there is no sign of it. I asked Chiyoko just now. If you compare him with Mr. Tsumura, Mr. Shen should be considered He is a smooth and sophisticated person, so he may really want to say something to me when he came to me, but he went back before he could say anything." "He should have come here for something, after all, it takes a lot of courage to come here..." Kosuke Kindaichi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Asuka Tadashi: "Mr. Asuka, what do you think of matchstick puzzles? Are those really cuneiform?" Asuka Zhongxi's eyes widened suddenly, and when his gaze inadvertently met Chang Yingming, he suddenly burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, but on this point... this is also my own stupid inference, and it is still a very absurd inference." Chang Yingming also smiled and said: "Mr. Kindaichi, although I have little knowledge, I have never seen such cuneiform characters. However, you look quite scary." "When I'm concentrating on one thing, everyone's face is expressionless to me." "Mr. Kindaichi, what do you think of those matches?" Kazuhiko Murakami also joined their conversation. "This..." Kindaichi Kosuke looked carefully at the smart young man in front of him and said: "I think it should have a special meaning, but the original arrangement has been destroyed. If it is said that those matchsticks were moved from the murder scene to Mr. Shen's studio, and then arranged in the same way, then it is the most suspicious The question is, is that the original graphic? Kazuhiko, do you have any comments?" "How can I have any opinion on something that you don't even know." Kosuke Kinda quietly observed Kazuhiko Murakami's unnatural behavior, and then shifted his gaze to Chiyoko Fuze. "I want to ask Ms. Feng one thing." After he finished speaking, he said to Police Officer Hibino: "Officer Hibino, can I ask about that?" "Okay, everything is up to you." The reason why Police Officer Hibino readily agreed to Kindaichi Kosuke's proposal was probably because he felt that a person like Kindaichi Kosuke was the most suitable for fighting against Chiyoko. Detective Kondo gave Feng Chiyoko a nervous look. "Mr. Kindaichi, what's the matter?" Feng Chiyoko seemed to feel the tension of Detective Kondo, and her tone of voice became much softer. "Excuse me, do you know a man named 'Sasuke'?"
