Chapter 15: Valentine's Day, Conon kissed a man
Even though he looked like a thug he speaks really well and is quite kind person. Sonoko got on the car back seat and Rito sat beside the driver seat without saying much. He already got some things for the party.
So he would not be embarrassed to go. Sonoko likes Rito's thoughtfulness and they moved to the house of Minakawa where the party is being held. At the party Rito sat beside Sonoko as they drank some drinks.
Rito knows that it is another murder case and he did not try to stop the murder from happening. He originally did not remember this case. Only after getting to know the people and the setting did he found that the situation and who the murder is.
Rito really did not like the character of this Minakawa as he likes to boss around others thinking that he is high and mighty. But Rito never interferes with the actions and choices of anyone. He is always like this and he will only act when it is related to him.
In all other cases he would stand as a bystander and watch the show irrespective of write or wrong in the entire thing. In the end if he was moved he might help a little. If not he would only watch without doing anything.
Naturally Sonoko got chocolate for Rito and even fed it to him piece by piece in the party claiming sovereignty on the handsome man like Rito that also has a strong body and capabilities. Well the other women in the party looked at Rito few times.
This made Sonoko think that they wanted to snatch Rito away. Even thought those women did not have this kind of intention they could not help but look at Rito that is handsome and manly for a few times. Even the mother of Minakawa looked at Rito few times.
Rito really wanted to go out and have some steamy conversation with this hot Milf but she would not do anything now after all she is a criminal and that is the murder of her step son. So it is natural that she is in a highly anxious state in her mind.
Right when they are thinking about their own things Wakamatsu wanted to pull Ron to give her a kiss. Unfortunately the hand he pulled is the hand of Conon and they had a kiss. Rito that looked at the scene laughed so hard that tears came out.
Sonoko also laughed out and Wakamatsu pulled Conon to the side in anger. Rito did not care about his thoughts and simply watched the show without interfering. When he wanted to say something to Mouri Ran their attention was diverted to the brother and mother of Minakawa.
Then the events changed and it is time for arm wrestling between men. Rito was the one that won in the end but there is still some friction between Wakamatsu and Minakawa that needed the mother of Minakawa to solve in the end.
There are pastries and tea. Rito knows that one has to eat pastries and also has to drink tea to make a combination to dissolve the poison. If not he would die from poisoning. Even with the system Rito would still die if he was poisoned.
Fortunately he remembered the plot and is cautious. So when eating cake he also drank the coffee. Both of them are poisonous and as long as you ingested both of them they would counter each other.
Rito acted normally and even praised the woman for her good craftsmanship in making cakes. Sonoko wanted to learn but Rito did not stop her for the moment. At this moment Rito knows that she is going to go to jail soon and Rito don't have to act.
Also her reason for killing this Minakawa is to get his life insurance money and blame another woman that looked kind of cute. After all Minakawa mother is not his true mother. To be precise this family adopted him and they have no relation.
All in all her reasoning is wrong and she can be convicted. Rito did not immediately act but waited till Minakawa died. The reason for this is he did not like Minakawa that is too arrogant and irritable.
Showing his irritability to others is not something good people would do and showing his irritability towards the people that loved him is also very bad behavior no matter what kind of reason he has. So he is better off dead.
In Rito's sense he is simply a defective piece no matter how handsome he appeared to be. Soon he went out to smoke and he died. The cops are called and inspector Megure came quickly. Kogoro was also called by Ran and came running to solve the case.
Conon naturally don't want to use Rito to show his deduction. He used the tranquilizer gun in the watch he got from Agasa on Mouri Kogoro and he was down like a knocked out person. Rito knows that the deduction starts and he did not interfere.
But when Conan spoke some things are inconsistent. That Kogoro did not see the kid being reprimanded by his mother for eating chocolate and his mother feeding him cake after he drank coffee.
Others would not care and think that Kogoro actually investigated from questioning people. Each person would point at other person for answering or his daughter for informing him about the entire situation.
But technically anyone that saw the entire incident would doubt about how Mouri Kogoro knows about the things that happened before he arrived to the minute detail. Well Rito did not point out these things. This is the plot armor here.
Also the sleeping Kogoro is also plot armor as no one discovered him after so long and never checked on him when he was deducing without moving his mouth. Rito can only think something in his heart.
