Transport Into Detective Conan (OC Reader Insert)

Chapter 39: Flying By the Crow's Nest - Part II

Kaiya POV

"I need you to draw attention to the wine glasses." Conan whispered. I gave Conan a look of confusion but decided to trust him.

"Oh no!" I exclaimed dramatically, accidentally spilling some of the wine from the bottle to draw attention to the table.

"Are you alright?" Saguru turned to me.

"Y-Yes, at least none of the glasses spilled." I replied. He suddenly paused at the table when he got to eye level of the drinks. After a moment of thought, he smirked.

"Did you figure it out, Saguru?" I blinked.

"As I suspected, this is clearly a murder, not a suicide." Saguru announced.

"But forensics said-" Takagi began.

"Eh?! Most of these glasses are empty except these two." Conan said childishly.

"Look at the level of those two glasses on the table." Saguru explained.

"They're the same level!" Sato noticed.

"He's right." Takagi agreed.

"It would be so easy to mix the glasses up, wouldn't it Kaiya-neechan?" Conan asked me.

"O-Oh that's right! If one of the glasses belongs to the victim, the culprit could have easily switched glasses after putting poison in their own. " I explained following Conan's logic.

"Why should we believe these kids?" Mr. Lopez questioned.

"I'm on the phone with Yusaku-san, and he said the same thing." I pointed to my phone.

"You mean Yusaku Kudo is also solving this case just from a phone call?!" Takagi asked, just asked shocked as the other guests.

I made eye contact with Saguru. "I know they've already cracked this case. You can trust them." I smiled.

"They do have a point through. The victim wouldn't have noticed if the liquid level was about the same." Sato agreed.

"How was culprit able to do the switch without anyone noticing though?" Takagi wondered.

"By approaching Mr. Richmond under the pretense of sharing a smoke." Saguru deduced. "Isn't that right Mrs. Miller?" he announced.

"Earlier, you mentioned you weren't a smoker, but you did smoke today right?" I pointed out.

"How dare you accuse me!" she retorted.

"I was just-" I began, before Mrs. Richmond moved in front of me slightly. It was as if... she was protecting me?

"Dear, please calm down." Mr. Miller told his wife.

"T-That doesn't prove anything." Mrs. Miller insisted.

"Forensics will be back with the fingerprint analysis of the cups soon, if you still insist." Sato said.

"I-I couldn't bear that thought that Mr. Richmond was given a promotion instead of my husband." Mrs. Miller admitted tearfully.

*******************

"You should go clean the stain on your sleeves in the restoom." Saguru told me, offering me his jacket to cover up.

"I feel bad for staining such a nice dress." I worried. Afterall, the Kudos gave it to me...

"Don't worry, it will wash off." he reassured me.

"Oof!" I exclaimed, accidentally bumped into someone while running to the restroom. I looking up in surprise to see one of the men with the crow mask, the tall lanky one.
