Kuroki Ren's voice was not too low, and this slightly questioning word made everyone present change their expressions.
"High purity, even if it is dissolved by the liquid, the taste is still there." Shirley continued to explain, "It is present in both cups, but not in Miss Suzuki's cup."
On the side, Kudo Shinichi ignored the politeness and quickly took the cup that Kuroki Jin was holding from the nearest Shirley, and also learned to smell the smell in the cup.
"Mr. Kuroki." Suzuki Ayako frowned, "What did you just say?"
"Where did you get this glass of wine?" Kudo interrupted before Kuroki Jin could answer.
"The bar over there." Kuroki Jin pointed in the direction, "It's all on the tray."
Kudo Shinichi hurried over, and then Kuroki Jin answered Suzuki Ayako's question: "The glass of wine Miyano and I drank was laced with heroin."
"How is this possible?" Before Suzuki Ayako raised her voice, Kudo Shinichi's voice came out: "What he said is true."
Kudo Shinichi came back with the tray of wine and removed the wine glasses one by one, leaving only the tray. "Look, these white powdery things."
There are some scattered particles on the white tray. If you hadn’t looked so carefully, you might have missed them.
"This..." These young people started to riot. They had never seen such a scene before, not to mention that they had taken in so many things. It would be unimaginable if they were all drugged.
"Quiet." Suzuki Ayako began to control the situation. While comforting them, she said to her sister: "Call the police."
"Call the police?" Yuanzi was frightened, even though there shouldn't be such a thing in her glass of wine.
"Why don't you call the police if someone drops drugs?" Suzuki Ayako's tone became more serious, and her original gentle demeanor disappeared.
"Okay, okay." Yuanzi immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the police number.
Before the police arrived, Kudo asked around and learned that there was originally surveillance here, but today's party required that the surveillance be turned off, so the most direct evidence disappeared.
After asking some people near the bar, no one had seen anyone suspicious. Some people who drank the champagne in the tray were frightened. Kudo couldn't comfort him, so he asked his childhood sweetheart Xiaolan to come over and deal with it.
, he went to the next house to ask.
Shirley stood close to Kuroki, and Kuroki could feel the circles of cold air radiating around her.
The police arrived faster than expected, but it was not the General Affairs Section of the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department, which is responsible for drug-related matters, but the Criminal Investigation Section, led by the 13th Police Department.
The police cordoned off the place as soon as they arrived. Not only did they prohibit entry and exit, but they also searched the surrounding areas, especially places with back doors such as the kitchen, which were strictly guarded, making everyone present look at each other.
Even Kudo Shinichi, who had dealt with the police many times, was confused and went up to ask why they were here.
Megure and others came to track down Kitajima Kohei. After confirming the suspected final haunting location of Kitajima Kohei through surveillance video in the afternoon, Megure sent someone to check the surroundings, and he really found something.
.
It was a small warehouse. Megure led the team, followed by Date Hang, Sato Miwako and less than ten police officers. They came to this seemingly dusty warehouse and found a chair with traces of being wiped in the corner.
And some messy footprints. The most terrible thing is that they found drugs hidden in this warehouse.
At the same time, the vehicle that appeared in the previous surveillance was also found behind the warehouse.
Megure concluded that Kitajima Kohei changed cars to escape here. After checking the surveillance and asking others, he got clues about the new suspicious vehicle. He followed this car around the entire central area for an afternoon, and finally found a place nearby.
Follow me.
The police called all the places with surveillance in the area to search, and asked store owners on the street about their impressions of Kitajima Hanghei. During the investigation, the General Administration received a call from the police. Thinking of this incident, they thought it was somewhat related, so they
Transferred to them.
"..." Kudo, "You guys are quite considerate this time."
Megure had no choice but to glance at the people around him, then whispered in Kudo's ear: "Takagi was kidnapped by a suspect."
"What did you say——"
"Shh!" Megure quickly stopped Kudo from continuing. Kudo smiled awkwardly at the people around him who were looking at him, and then he and Megure got together.
"That Takagi criminal who went into the casino?"
"Yes." Megure nodded, "When we were preparing to take action that night, Officer Date and Takagi were inside to assist. Unexpectedly, just before taking action, Kitajima Kohei seemed to be aware of it and found an excuse to lure Takagi away.
It was not until we took control of the situation that we discovered that the two of them were missing."
"But it would be very inconvenient to move with one person." Kudo Shinichi touched his chin and thought, "If two people were acting together, Officer Takagi would not be awake."
"We have found pistols from people in gambling houses, and it is very likely that Kitajima Kohei also has them."
"But what I'm most afraid of is..." Mu Mu looked at the champagne glass in the forensic officer's hand, showing concern.
……
"This is what you said about long nights." Shirley was washing the heroin that may remain on her hands at the sink. Kuroki Ren leaned against the wall and waited, and was startled when she heard Shirley speaking in code.
It is a common code word that members with code names within the organization use to express the meaning of another sentence by replacing syllables. On the surface, it is an ordinary conversation. For example, what Shirley just said to others sounds like "Tonight is really terrible."
”.
"This is just the beginning." Kuroki Jin smiled, glancing at the venue with his peripheral vision, observing that they would not attract anyone's attention.
"You took the drugs yourself, right?" Shirley went to get a tissue, and Kuroki Ren handed it over first.
"How to say it?"
"When you went to get the champagne, it spilled part of it on the tray and then in the two glasses of wine you brought. There was no drugs in the other champagne glasses because you were afraid that others would eat it by mistake." Shirley took the tissue and said, "Evidence
Even though they were all on the same tray, there was no wine in Miss Suzuki’s glass, nor in the glasses of the other people who got champagne.”
"But forensics will detect it in the remaining champagne glasses."
"You did it later." Shirley didn't look at him, "While everyone else's attention was on the detective, you stepped back to the edge of the table and shook your sleeves."
"It seems that they have been paying attention to me." Kuroki Ren raised the corner of his mouth, "Stop talking, the police are coming to us to take notes."
"By the way, I just ate a few bites of sushi when I saw you. Do you want some candy?"
"Mr. Kuroki, Miss Miyano, could you please explain the situation?"
Shirley nodded towards the policeman and reached out to take the candy from Kuroki Jin.
