107. Herbal tea
"So, those three people know that there will be a chance today to let the victim drink the deadly poison, right?"
Officer Meguru looked at Takasaka Shuri and the other two standing at the door, without hiding their suspicion.
Takagi Suk said: "But the victim had drunk several drinks without hesitation before, and finally suddenly showed pain."
"What?" Officer Memu was stunned. Could it be that his inference was wrong again?
Takagi Suk whispered: "From this point, it is very likely that she would have asked her to drink the poison-packed capsules in advance or something."
Officer Megumi muttered: "If this is the case, then it is very likely that this is not the first scene."
After saying that, I heard the familiar 'ah le'.
Conan wrapped a mobile phone in a handkerchief, and his tone was exaggerated and surprised, "This is really strange. Look, there are many photos of them stored in the mobile phone that fell here, but in the photo, the dead aunt was holding chopsticks in her right hand."
As soon as Officer Meguro took the phone, the detective was picked up by Kogoro Mouri, "You little brat, don't move the remaining items at the scene casually."
"Is there anything strange about this? Usually, I hold chopsticks with my right hand." Police Officer Meguri did not untie his mouth after seeing the photos.
"You can see the cup that fell to the ground, and you will find it after a closer look." Because of being picked up, Conan was a little taller than usual. "Because the right edge of the cup handle was stained with lipstick marks. If so, it means she was drinking the teacup with her left hand, right?"
After seeing it, Officer Megu nodded blankly, "It's true."
Kogoro Mori held his chin, "But why did the victim hold it with his left hand?"
"It must be because my right hand was busy holding something at that time." Amuro said with a smile.
"Eh?" The people in the venue were surprised.
"For example, she is looking at the photos on her phone." Chen Xing said.
"That's right." Toru Amuro glanced at his boss with appreciation, "When everyone is focused, they will naturally neglect other things. For example, even if the position of the cup or the direction of the hand is changed, they will pick it up without any notice. As long as you use this natural reaction, the prisoner will have the opportunity to let the victim drink poison."
"Switch the tea cup." Chen Xing said.
Amuro nodded with a smile, "Yes, I secretly exchanged my toxic teacup with the victim."
Conan blinked, for no reason, when he saw the two of them talking about the preface, he felt very coordinated, but instead he had the kind of cooperation that the detectives did when solving the case.
But immediately, he shook his head, I am a high school detective Shinichi Kudo!
When everyone heard the guess of "change tea cup", they couldn't help but look at each other. It was actually not difficult to think of it, but they just didn't think of it.
Toru Amuro said: "It is undoubtedly much easier than poisoning the cup when the victim is not paying attention, putting poison in his own cup and then replacing it."
He looked at the display on the small table, "Because everyone's teacup doesn't seem to have prepared cups and plates to place, it's easier to change the position of the teacup."
"How could we secretly change the teacup!"
"And only her teacup has lemon slices."
"And please see clearly the color of the tea you drink."
When Takasaka Shuri at the door heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied.
"Color?" Officer Meguri walked to the table and looked at it. "The colors of the three cups of tea are different. From the right, it looks like brown, blue, and yellow."
Takagi Shi squatted down, with broken tea cups and tea on the ground, "What the victim should have drunk was red tea."
Officer Meguri said, "Since this is the case, you shouldn't be wrong, right?"
"But since the prisoner is poisoning in the tea, there should be a container or bag containing that kind of poison." Kogoro Mouri swears: "As long as we thoroughly investigate this ward, we should be able to find clues."
"Yes, and it is possible that the prisoner is still carrying that container on his body." Police Officer Meguri said, looking at the three people at the door, "Now, you three will be asked to stay in another room after being searched. We will ask you to ask them to ask them to ask them in detail."
...
"Yes, I made all the teas I drink."
The first person to be questioned was Takasaka Shuri, who was hospitalized here. She did not wear makeup and her face was still somewhat sick.
"Although they are here to visit the disease, after all, the visitor is a guest." She said slowly: "But, although it is to make tea, I just put the tea bag in the teapot and then add hot water."
"So, is you the only one who has come into contact with tea cups at that time?" Officer Meguchi asked.
Takasaka Shuri shook his head, "No, the tea cup we used was asked by Hatan and Beppu to help me take it out of the shelf."
Officer Meguchi thought, “In other words, even if the victim’s teacup is covered with everyone’s fingerprints, it is normal.”
"But how come there are so many different teas?" Takagi Shizuki asked in confusion: "Only they can only drink the same tea, right?"
"Because everyone knows that I like to drink herbal tea, I will bring tea to me when I visit it." Takasaka Shuri said: "Yakao also brought tea here today. I think it's a rare opportunity, so I'll drink different teas and compare it."
"So that's it." Kogoro Mouri smiled faintly, "If this is the case, you suggest drinking different teas to compare and even make tea yourself. You are the one who has the most chance of poisoning the victim's tea among the three."
"I didn't do that!" Takasaka Kiri defended: "What's more, I added hot water in front of everyone, and before the Lingcai fell, she had already drunk nearly half of the cup of tea in her hand. In addition, if I secretly dropped the poisonous tea cup and her tea cup as I said just now, I would definitely be noticed immediately."
Officer Meguri immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because at that time I drank a kind of herbal tea called Butterfly Bean, which was blue in color, and even if I had to lose my bag, I would be discovered soon, right?" Takasaka Shuri said: "And Lingcai was drinking a kind of tea called Luoshenhua, which was red."
Toro Amuro asked, "So, do you know which kind of tea the other two people were drinking at that time?"
Takasaka Shuri nodded and said, "The ones in Hatano are drinking brown, a herbal tea called Omint. The ones in Beppu drink are a yellow herbal tea called chamomile."
Later, when she asked Bafang Shizhi, she said that she was drinking Ou Mint at that time.
"I thought it was green tea, but it turned out to be the same brown color, which surprised me a little, because I usually hear people say mint green." She explained: "At that time, only Shuri, who knows tea very well, laughed out loud."
