293. Half of the doubts
In the corridor, Officer Meguri and Takagi Shibu both looked a little heavy.
"You said that the poison was not detected on other cakes?" Kogoro Mouri was very surprised.
"Yes, the only one who reacts with poison is the cup of black tea that sinks into the capsule." Takagi Suk said.
Officer Megu nodded, "And the poison reaction of that cup of black tea is also very weak. If it were not for the purpose of destroying the capsules used to poison it, it would probably be a disguise for disturbing the direction of our investigation, as you said."
Conan suddenly said, "So, the only toxic cake is the small piece of annual ring cake that Mr. Yuro ate, right?"
Hattori Heiji said: "At that time, Mr. Yuro obviously grabbed one of the two pieces on the tray and ate them. How did the murderer let him pick up the poisoned cake accurately?"
He said to Ye: "It's because that piece is bigger, right?"
Ran Maori nodded, "Looking at Mr. Yuro's appearance, it seems to be very greedy."
Takagi Suk said: "To be honest, we think so, so we bought the same size annual ring cake from the same store and tried to put the eight pieces left on the scene, and found that it was indeed cut in just nine parts."
"What?"
"What you mean is that the murderer poisoned the murderer after Mr. Yuro picked up the annual ring cake, but we didn't notice this at all, right?" Kogoro Mouri said speechlessly.
"No, no, no, how is this possible? The murderer is not a transparent person." Takagi Sugh said hurriedly.
Next to him, Conan frowned and said, "This incident reminds me of the letter I sent to you."
Hattori Heiji nodded silently.
Conan whispered, "'I am a fiction made by you humans without authorization. An abnormal existence is an illusion that you will never be able to truly see."
This is what was written in the letter sent by the murderer. At first, I thought it was the words of Zhong Er, but now this invisible weirdness is happening in front of me.
Next, Officer Meguri also told Wakamatsu Quinka and others about the police's investigation.
"However, although the cut cake is the same size, the poisoned piece is placed a little in front of him, and if it is easier to get, the situation will be different." Kogoro Mori said.
"It's not in front of him." Yoshihara Sakiko said: "Mr. Yuro stretched out his hand and took the farthest piece."
"Yes, this is the case I see." Satake Yoshio said.
"But, the only ones who cut the annual ring cake and put it in the tray are you." Kogoro Mouri said: "You who are the most convenient for poisoning, there is no convincing saying such words."
"But I saw it too." Ran Maori said, "Mr. Yuro took the annual ring cake that was farther away."
He Ye Ma also said that she saw it, "I was still wondering why he had to take the one far away."
Takagi said: "It seems that Mr. Yuro was indeed very eye-catching at that time."
He said to Ye: "Because he had just finished speaking, the next president was him, so he subconsciously kept looking at him and waited for him to continue talking."
Hattori Heiji held his chin and said, "I think the murderer made this bet on a half chance."
"If Mr. Yuro finally chose the cake that was not poisoned..." Kogoro Mouri was stunned.
"At that time, the murderer may slide the remaining toxic cake and drop it on the floor when he pretends to put it on the plate, so that he can't eat it." Conan said: "Because Mr. Yurang is not only greedy but also very hungry, the murderer already knows that he will not be able to wait to grab it with his hands and eat it."
Hattori Heiji suddenly said: "There is another possibility that the murderer actually wanted Mr. Yuro to take away the previous piece of the unpoisoned annual ring cake, and then let the general manager Shiina who ate the last piece of cake die from poisoning."
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked, and Shiina Masahisa was even more shocked.
Kogoro Maori thoughtfully said: "In other words, the murderer who killed President Wakamatsu in Karuizawa last month is the same as the murderer who targeted his son or General Manager Shiina this time. If it was the same person, then the reason was either in this family or within the company, right?"
Officer Megu nodded and looked at the people involved in the room, "I'm going to ask you any clues."
"How could it be?" Juno Fujiha felt it was ridiculous.
"So that's it..." The female housekeeper, Sato Yohara hesitated: "I once saw the master and Mr. Yuro seem to be arguing. The master said, 'You are the one who uses the company's money, so why don't you confess quickly'. Mr. Yuro shouted and replied to him, 'You don't believe in your son'."
"When did that happen?" Takagi Suk said hurriedly.
"It should be a week before Karuizawa passed away." Yonehara Saki said.
Juno Fujihara guessed: "So, that day he asked us to stay in the villa and said something important to us, could it be because of this?"
"But this matter has been resolved." Ruo Songqinxiang said with a smile: "Because in the end I found out that the account was written wrong when I was keeping the account, and my husband later got angry with me."
At the door, Chen Xing looked at the smile on Mrs. Ruosong's face. Somehow, she had always had a gentle smile before, but now she suddenly felt that her smile was a little creepy.
However, he stood there quietly, holding the phone blocked from his legs, and staying at the call interface.
"In short, no matter what the motive of the murder is or who the target of the murderer is, I think everyone will pay attention to the scene when Mr. Yulang ate the annual ring cake tonight. While everyone still remembers it, please cooperate with our investigation."
Officer Meguri said, "Then, we will invite you over when we are ready. Please wait in this room for a while."
The case-related Kusuka Wakamatsu and others stayed in the study, while Kogoro Mori and others retreated.
"Hey, where is Chen Xing?" Conan looked around in confusion.
"I remember he was still here before." Ran Mori shook his head.
"Why did that guy find some clues and then secretly run to investigate it yourself?" Hattori Heiji said suspiciously.
"It probably won't." Conan said this, but he actually didn't believe Chen Xing's reasoning very much.
Then, when Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered that it was Karuizawa's Yamato who dared to help the police officer who took over the Wakamatsu Kohei case, Kazuya also remembered that Uehara Yui wanted to confess to Yamato.
In this way, the two detectives came up with an idea to contact Ye Yui and ask about the investigation of the case.
As the detectives started an investigation and became busy, Chen Xing turned on the light switch in the corridor on the other side, and the dim environment suddenly lit up.
