"Ahem." Mumu suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth and said seriously: "Did Mr. Kuroki notice anything wrong before this?"
Kuroki Ren was actually quite surprised why they didn't ask the three people related to the deceased first but instead came to him and asked him this and that, but he still replied: "There is nothing wrong. He made a loud noise not long after drinking the drink."
I heard the strange noise more clearly when I was closer. When I went to see him, he covered his neck with his hands as if he wanted to say something, and then fell down."
"I just helped him fall down and asked the scene to turn on the lights. At that time, I was not sure that he was dead."
Asai Narumi took over: "It was the aorta that I went up to touch, and found that it was no longer beating."
Megure still has some impression of Asai Narimi, remembering that he is a doctor, and approved of him stepping forward to diagnose emergencies.
If it wasn't cyanide, a poison that would kill someone if it was taken in at a certain dose, but someone at the scene had a heart attack or some other accident, Asai Narumi might have saved a life by coming forward for consultation immediately. p>
But it was impossible for him to examine the body again. There was a police coroner at the scene. After the forensic personnel collected evidence from the scene, the body was transported back to the station for autopsy.
"Did Mr. Urata buy this drink himself?"
While waiting for the specific results to come out, Memu began to ask the deceased what he had done before.
"No, I bought the drinks together." Mai Kogami, who was sitting on the outermost side, replied, "After buying the drinks, I handed all four drinks to Youta and went to the bathroom before the show started.
”
"Then I handed the drink to Menmei, who then gave the drink to Gengping."
Yota Mitani, who was sitting second next to the side, answered.
"What are you talking about!" Noda Yumei rebutted the slightly pointed words, "It was you who helped Gengping choose the iced coffee."
"Iced coffee?" Several people present repeated it at the same time.
Kuroki Jin and Asai Narimi looked at each other, then looked at Hattori Heiji who also noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong with the iced coffee?" Noda Yumei was startled by the three people's reactions, thinking she had said something wrong.
"Mr. Urata's drink should be iced Coke." Seeing that Kuroki Jin and Asai Narimi didn't mean to answer, Hattori Heiji explained. He had just taken a peek when he stopped Asai Narimi from touching the evidence at the scene. Although the drink has been consumed, there is still a residual smell, especially a drink with a strong smell like coffee. But there is no coffee smell left in the cup that fell to the ground.
"The store must have made a mistake, the cup I had was also iced Coke." Wuyi Hongshang said in a low voice, "But when I found out, the show had already started, and it was too troublesome to go back and change, so I just drank it." "And there's one more thing," Mai Kogami continued, "At that time, Kohei originally wanted to come over and get a drink with me, but then he suddenly turned pale and said he wanted to go back to his seat."
"I think it's because he saw me."
Everyone looked over and saw the person coming - a girl wearing a Didan school uniform and an apron was standing behind.
"It's Caiko, yes, you are also a student of this school."
The visitor introduced herself as Ayako Ninagawa, the daughter of the director of the Rice Flower General Hospital where Kohei Urata and others worked.
Kuroki Ren raised his eyes slightly and then lowered them. He looked down at the original position of the body that had been carried away, and slightly raised his lips.
He has roughly figured out the murderer's modus operandi, but he lacks some key evidence, so he remains silent and waits for the criminal to reveal himself.
When a person is very concerned about the existence of something, he will always unconsciously look at its location. With Kuroki Jin's observation ability, he is confident that he can detect the location where the target is worried.
"Now the four suspects are all here." Hattori Heiji, who was leaning against the wall and had completely wiped off the white powder on his face, laughed and glanced at the four people in turn.
"Hey, you mean the murderer is among us?" Noda Yumei, who had a slightly hot temper, immediately retorted, "But except for the last time I handed the drink to Kohei, I never touched that cup again!" p>
"And the lights were still on at the time. If I did anything, everyone could see it."
Kuroki Ren's eyes lit up, and he quickly interjected and asked: "When did the lights turn off?"
"Uh... just after dividing the drinks." Noda Yumei said.
"Did Ms. Kogami come back at that time?" Kuroki Jin asked the second question.
"No." Yota Mitani replied first, "I remember that Mai came back in the dark after the lights were completely dimmed."
"When did Ms. Hongshang discover that the drink was not iced coffee but iced Coke?"
Kuroki Jin’s third question almost made the person involved break into a cold sweat.
"When... I took the first sip," she replied uncertainly, "By the way..." She wanted to change the topic.
"If you didn't realize it until the first time you spoke," Kuroki Ren didn't give her a chance, "then why didn't you put creamer and syrup in your cup?"
Hongshang Wuyi clenched her fists slightly, hid them behind her back, and replied with a slightly stiff smile: "Then maybe I found it when I opened the lid of the cup and wanted to put the creamer in."
"This gentleman will not suspect that I am the murderer just because I did not add condiments to the iced coffee."
"Of course not, I'm just talking." Kuroki Jin showed a warm smile, and just when Hongshang Mai breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "Police department, search you."
"It's not about searching the items on the body, it's about looking for places on someone's body that can produce redox reactions."
Mu Mu was still a little confused and subconsciously asked why.
"Mr. Urata finished the drink early and started chewing the ice cubes in it." Kuroki Jin glanced at Kogami Mai, who had turned pale, paused and continued: "I'm sitting next to him, naturally.
You can hear the sound. He was poisoned and died when he was halfway through eating the ice cubes."
"This shows that the poison was originally hidden in ice cubes, and in order for Mr. Urata to get the poisoned drink, Ms. Kogami naturally poisoned both cups."
"If the forensics department's subsequent report is correct, there will be no poison residue in the two cups. This is because one ate the ice cubes before the ice melted, and the other took out the ice cubes and put them on his body." "Then whoever has a redox reaction in his body is undoubtedly the murderer. But at the moment, I don't know exactly where Miss Hongshang hid the poison..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange voice took over his words.
"In my hood."
The knight in black who had been standing next to Mao Lilan before and refused to take off his mask took out a ten-yuan coin from nowhere, put it into the hat of Hongshang Wuyi who was standing in front of him, and took it out again
The coin was already sparkling when it came out.
The ten-yuan coin is made of bronze, and a chemical reaction with potassium cyanide will make the surface of the coin shiny.
And the coin that the black knight took out is exactly like this.
