"When the matter with Belmode is resolved, I will ask Jiang Xia if he is willing to leave." Shuichi Akai began to look forward to the next stage of work, "If he is not willing... Then in dealing with Uzo, we may
One more powerful comrade."
With the friendly assistance of a certain detective, two FBI agents successfully escaped suspicion.
Everyone's eyes focused on the four acquaintances of the deceased.
Jiang Xia also looked at the three hospital staff and a senior high school student, and glanced at them: "This method does not require accomplices. The nurse lady and the security guard can see each other when they are sharing drinks.
There was really no chance to open the lid of the cup and add ice cubes to the drink. So the only people who had time to commit the crime were the clerk and Ninagawa-san."
Six suspicious persons were eliminated in the blink of an eye. The police department felt extremely comfortable and looked at the detective brother with relief: "What next?"
Jiang Xia never disappoints: "As a coffee seller, it is not difficult for Ninagawa-senpai to play tricks on ice cubes. But this time, in order to talk to the deceased, she changed all the coffee ordered by the deceased to cola without permission.
, I hope the other party can return the drinks... If the murderer is her, there is no need for her to do such troublesome things and disrupt her plan."
"In other words, the real murderer is..."
The police turned their heads and looked at the short-haired female clerk who bought drinks for her colleagues.
The short-haired woman staggered back a step, covered in cold sweat. She opened her mouth to refute, but she didn't know where to start.
Jiang Xia looked at her: "After you buy the drink, you only need to walk to the long table with creamer and syrup next to it, and you can quietly open the lid of the cup and add the poisonous ice cubes you made in advance to the drink——
There are many people buying coffee, and there must be many people doing the same thing at the counter, so your action of opening the cup will not appear abrupt at all, nor will it leave much impression on others.
"You originally wanted to add milk and sugar after placing the poisonous ice cubes to cover up the strangeness of the ice cubes. However, when you hurriedly threw in the ice cubes, you realized that the two cups of iced coffee you ordered were actually eaten by the salesperson.
Replaced it with ice coke.
"You can't fish out the ice cubes again in public, so you have to wait until the play starts before returning to your seat. In this way, even if your poisoning target discovers that the drink is wrong, he has no time.
Go back to the counter to change it.”
"That's it." After hearing this, the police officer who was about to get off work immediately realized which of these would be important evidences. His eyes lit up, "You said before that the murderer didn't have time to dispose of the physical evidence. Does that mean she didn't have time to throw away the poisonous materials?"
Container for ice cubes?”
Jiang Xia nodded and looked at the "new doctor" who appeared at some unknown time: "Just now the new doctor said he wanted to go to the bathroom, so I asked him to help me search around there - did you find anything useful?"
After shopping around for a long time, I still couldn't find the strange stand-in male protagonist. I could only pick up the "new doctor" with his nose in the trash can after receiving a text message from Uzo: "..."
Belmode stepped forward, took out a palm-sized purse, and handed it to Jiang Xia with a smile - it was time for the child to feel the smell of the trash can.
However, unlike what she imagined, Jiang Xia did not forcefully come forward to take the thing that had been put into the trash can in order to maintain the image of a detective. He just looked at it from a distance, and then raised his hand towards the police.
The next moment, the young police officer ran out voluntarily holding the evidence bag and took the purse from Belmod's hand.
Belmode: "..."
Jiang Xia nodded slightly at her and said leisurely: "This sealed shrink purse with plastic leather and metal buckles has good thermal insulation. As long as a small piece of dry ice is stuffed into it, the murderer's carefully crafted items can be preserved.
Poison ice cubes.
"After the murderer put in the ice cubes, she handed four drinks to her companions and went to the bathroom alone. Once there, she was able to easily dispose of the tiny bit of dry ice, and then threw her wallet into the trash can."
"Oh!" Judy suddenly covered her lips in surprise and looked at the "new doctor" with complicated eyes, "Did you enter the women's room?"
Belmode, who was in a normal mood: "..."
Although Judy hated her father-killing enemy, she still remembered that she was playing the role of an enthusiastic foreign teacher who liked the "new doctor". She laughed, swallowed the "You are very skilled" in her heart, and praised her instead.
: "You really sacrificed a lot to solve this case - you are really a hero!"
The "new doctor" suddenly laughed: "Thanks to the fact that the women's restroom was always empty, I was able to go in and look for something."
When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, she suddenly remembered something. She scratched her head and looked at Judy doubtfully: "When I called you just now, didn't I say that you had been in the bathroom?"
Judy: "..."
Jiang Xia did not interrupt the friendly exchange between the teacher and her classmates. She politely stopped talking and waited for them to say more.
However, the good times did not last long. Soon, a voice came from the side, breaking the fragrant atmosphere.
The short-haired female clerk took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Xia: "As expected of a well-known detective in Tokyo, he can connect everything together so quickly and make up a seemingly reasonable cause and effect."
Listening to the words, Sato Miwako smelled a hint of yin and yang: "'Seems' reasonable?"
The short-haired female clerk nodded: "Don't forget, the drinks that Gengping and I ordered were exactly the same, and I wasn't even present when the drinks were being divided. If it's as you said, I put poisonous ice cubes in the drinks,
So how can I ensure that Gengping drinks just the poisonous cup?
"So the truth is that there is no so-called poisonous ice at all, and Kohei completely died by taking the poison himself.
"As for the purse...it was indeed my thing, but when I went to the bathroom, I accidentally dropped it on the floor. I'm a little bit of a germaphobe and thought the bathroom floor was dirty, so I simply threw it away."
"You...!" Teacher Judy looked indignant, "You can even say such a quibble. Are you worthy of this school doctor who specializes in going into the women's restroom and rummaging through the trash cans? You look into his eyes before you speak!
"
"Oh...calm down, calm down." Memu Police Department did not expect that the suspicious teacher Judy would suddenly be so righteous, but thinking of the usual state of conflict between suspects, he suddenly felt that this was very reasonable.
But anyway, this matter is really troublesome - the potassium cyanide is sealed inside the ice cube. Since even the toxin cannot be detected in the deceased's drink cup, the inside of the purse must be cleaner. This physical evidence is indeed not solid enough.
.
However, it's not a big problem.
Mumu Police Department decisively turned around: "Brother Jiang Xia, look..."
