My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 884 There's Something Wrong with Mrs. Wakamatsu

From this perspective, both Sakurako Yonehara and Serika Wakamatsu had the opportunity and time to do something.

It just so happens that both of them are from the Wakamatsu family, tsk tsk...

Suspicion +1!

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji looked at Yonehara Sakurako and said, "When the police arrived, the message before death had disappeared."

Yonehara Sakurako nodded and replied, "Well, I went back to the bathroom right after I made the call, and saw Mr. Ikuro leaning against the master and crying bitterly. The words seemed to have disappeared at that time."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Wakamatsu Qinxiang and asked, "Then Madam, didn't you see that word?"

Upon hearing this, Wakamatsu Serika said, "Well, my attention was on the body at the time."

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately looked at Wakamatsu Serika and asked, "So the bathroom in that villa uses the same tiles as the bathroom in Osaka, am I right?"

Wakamatsu Serika nodded and said, "Yes, they were all custom-made by my husband, but his hometown in Osaka has already started renovations. The villa in Karuizawa is now being demolished after the seal prohibiting entry is removed to protect the site, so I don't think I'll have a chance to see it again."

Yonehara Sakurako was shocked when she heard this, “Ah!”

Aoki Matsu looked at the others and asked, "Excuse me, where were all of you after President Wakamatsu was murdered?"

Satake Yoshimi replied, "The vice president and I are in the living room."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Masafuji said, "Actually, a lot of people came that day to attend the vice president's birthday party."

Fujinami Junsei then said, "After the birthday party, I wanted to leave with the other guests, but the president kept me."

Satake Yoshimi heard this and said, "The president said he has something important to announce."

"The president asked us to wait until he finished replacing all the tiles in the bathroom, so we all stayed," said Masafugi Shiina.

Wakamatsu Serika followed up and said, "So the four of us waited for my husband in the living room and played poker for about two hours."

"Hmm..." Kogoro Mouri frowned when he heard this.

Fujinami Jun said: "That is to say, we both have perfect alibis."

Wakamatsu Serika added: "Because of the letter S that the housekeeper saw, we were the first to be suspected, and the police asked a lot of related questions. However, because President Wakamatsu's wallet has never been found, and no murder weapon has been found, and there were signs of external intrusion at the crime scene, the text that the housekeeper saw was considered to be a false message. Now, the Nagano Prefecture police are investigating the clue of external crime."

At this time, the door of the study was opened, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu walked in and said to Aoki Matsu, "Inspector, please come out for a moment."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Aoki Matsu stood up and left the study, but gave Maruta Ayumi a wink, indicating that he should stay here.

Aoki Matsu walked out of the study, and Mouri Kogoro, Hattori Heiji and Conan followed him out. Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha also walked out.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, "Inspector, the Identification Division did not detect any toxic reactions on the other cakes. The only thing that showed a toxic reaction was the cup of black tea that sank into the capsule.

Furthermore, the poison reaction of the cup of black tea seems to be very weak. If it was not put into the cup of black tea to destroy the capsule used to poison, it is very likely to be a disguise to disrupt the direction of our investigation. There are two possibilities. "

Aoki Matsu concluded: "So, the only poisonous cake is the small piece of Baumkuchen that Mr. Ikuro ate, right?"

"That's right!" said Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji immediately became puzzled. "That's strange. At that time, Mr. Ikuro clearly grabbed one of the two pieces on the tray and ate it. How did the murderer make him pick up the poisoned cake accurately?"

Hearing Hattori's doubts, Toyama Kazuha looked at Mao Lilan and asked, "It's because that piece is bigger, right?"

"Yeah," Mao Lilan nodded in agreement. "Mr. Ikuro looks like he's very greedy."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu heard their conversation and shook her head and said, "What you can think of, we can think of too. So I asked someone to buy a Baumkuchen of the same size from the same store. I tried to put the seven pieces of Baumkuchen left at the scene on top. I found that it was indeed cut into eight equal parts."

Toyama Kazuha and Mao Lilan were immediately shocked and said "Yeah!!!"

Maori Kogoro asked, "You mean to say that the murderer poisoned Mr. Ikuro after he picked up the alliance cake, and none of us noticed it?"

"No, that's definitely impossible. The murderer is not a transparent person." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, "I wonder if Mr. Ikuro has any specific eating habits, such as eating from the left, or from the top. The murderer knows Mr. Ikuro's eating habits, so he can poison accurately."

"That's indeed possible. But..." Aoki Matsu looked at Hattori Heiji and said, "This incident reminds me of the letter I sent to Belly-kun."

"Ah!" Hattori Heiji then agreed: "I am an abnormal existence that you humans have arbitrarily invented. I am an illusion that you will never be able to truly see." Hattori Heiji said as he turned the brim of his hat from behind, with a serious look on his face.

"Let's go in and ask Mrs. Wakamatsu." Aoki Matsu said.

Everyone went back to the study, and Aoki Matsu told Wakamatsu Serika and others about the situation.

Wakamatsu Serika was shocked when she heard this. "Is this true? Only the Baumkuchen that Ikuro ate was poisoned by the murderer?"

Qing Musong nodded and said, "Yes, and after comparing the seven pieces of the cake left at the crime scene with the cake before it was cut, including the piece of cake that Mr. Ikuro ate, it was found that it was cut into exactly eight equal parts."

Maori Kogoro suddenly thought of something at this time, and said quickly: "But although they are the same size, it would be easier to grab the poisoned piece if it is placed in front of him."

Upon hearing this, Yonehara Sakurako immediately retorted: "I didn't take the piece that was placed in front of him, but stretched out my hand to take the piece that was far away. Is that right, Ms. Satake?"

Satake Yoshimi nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I saw."

Maori Kogoro was a little angry when he heard this and said, "But you two were the only ones who cut the Baumkuchen and put it on the tray. You were able to poison it easily, so your words are not convincing."

Mao Lilan immediately retorted: "But I saw it too."

"What!" Kogoro Mouri didn't expect that the person who would come to ruin his show would be Ran Mouri.

Mao Lilan said seriously: "Mr. Ikuro took the piece of the far ring cake."

"Yes, yes, I saw it too. Why did he take the piece that was farther away? I really can't understand it." When he said this, Yuanshan Heye was a little confused.

"Eh!" Nanatsuki Koshimizu said with some emotion, "It seems that Mr. Ikuro was indeed very eye-catching at that time!"

Yuanshan Heye explained: "Because he just said that he will be the next president, of course I will pay special attention to it."

Mao Lilan also said: "So I couldn't help but keep looking at him."

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment and hypothesized, "I think the murderer might have made this bet with a 1/2 chance."

Maori Kogoro was somewhat dissatisfied with Hattori Heiji's reasoning when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Hey, what if Mr. Ikuro finally chooses the piece of Baumkuchen that is not poisoned..."

Conan helped Hattori Heiji and said, "Then maybe the murderer will pretend that when he puts the remaining piece of non-toxic Baumkuchen on the plate, he will drop it on the floor, and it will become inedible. Mr. Ikuro is not only greedy, but also very hungry, so the murderer already knows that he will not wait to grab it and eat it with his hands."

Qing Musong shook his head when he heard this: "It's impossible that the poison was randomly administered. This doesn't make sense. The probability is too unstable. An accident could happen if you're not careful. You could even end up eating it. This is too stupid."

Hattori Heiji thought for a moment and said, "There is another possibility. The murderer actually wanted Mr. Ikuro to take the first piece of the unpoisoned Baumkuchen and eat it, and then let General Manager Shiina, who ate the last piece, be poisoned and die."

Hearing Hattori Heiji say this, everyone was shocked and said "Ah!"

Maori Kogoro immediately held his chin up and said thoughtfully, "In other words, the murderer who killed President Wakamatsu in Karuizawa last month and the murderer who targeted his son or the general manager's life are either from this family or inside the company, right? This requires you to ask if you have any clues."

Upon hearing this, Fujinami Junsheng subconsciously retorted: "How, how is it possible!"

"Well, come to think of it." Yonehara Sakurako couldn't help but say after hearing this: "I once saw the master and Mr. Ikuro arguing about something. The master said, you are the one who misused the company's money, right? Why don't you confess quickly? Mr. Ikuro shouted in response, you actually don't believe your own son."

Qing Musong was a little surprised when he heard this and asked, "When did that happen?"

Yonehara Sakurako replied, "I remember it was about a week before the master passed away in Karuizawa."

Fujinami Jun'ei asked in confusion, "So he asked us to stay in the villa that day, saying he had something to tell us, which was..."

Satake Yoshimi thought for a moment and guessed, "Could it be that Mr. Ikuro embezzled the company's money?"

Wakamatsu Serika explained, "But the matter has been resolved! Because in the end it was discovered that I made a mistake in the account when I was keeping the accounts, and later my husband got really angry with me."

Aoki Matsu raised his eyebrows upon seeing this.

[There's something wrong with Mrs. Wakamatsu! The way she said this just now, she looked a little flustered and nervous. If the matter was really resolved, would she be so flustered?]

[From the situation of the Wakamatsu family, Mrs. Wakamatsu is the wife that President Wakamatsu married later, and Mr. Ikuro is not Mrs. Wakamatsu's biological son, and the relationship between the two does not seem to be close. So is it possible that it was not Mr. Ikuro who embezzled the company's money, but Mrs. Wakamatsu? What President Wakamatsu is going to announce is that he is divorcing Mrs. Wakamatsu? ]

[Wealthy people who have enough money will sign a prenuptial agreement in their marriages. If they divorce, the party with a weaker family background will not get much property. If this is true, Mrs. Wakamatsu would have a motive to kill President Wakamatsu and Mr. Ikuro.]

Qing Musong thought for a moment and said, "In short, no matter what the motive for the murder is and who the murderer's target is, I would like to ask everyone to recreate the scene tonight when Mr. Ikuro fell down after eating the annual ring cake. While everyone still remembers it, please cooperate with our investigation.

"Koshimizu, you go and prepare. Have the forensic department do a drug test on Mr. Ikuro's hands, his room, the toilet, the kitchen, and the dining room. Maruta, you go contact the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters and have them send over the information on the murder of President Wakamatsu."

"Yes!" Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Ayumi Maruta responded immediately.

Fujinami Junsei was a little dissatisfied when he saw this and muttered, "Tsk, what are you trying to recreate?"

Seeing this, Wakamatsu Serika said, "Well, just waiting might be a little boring. Ms. Satake, can you let me take a look at the text design uploaded to this computer?"

Upon hearing this, Satake Yoshimi immediately responded, "Yes!"

Wakamatsu Serika looked at Yonehara Sakurako again and said, "And, Miss Yonehara."

Yonehara Sakurako quickly responded, "Yes!"

Wakamatsu Serika ordered, "Can you please make the tea again?"

Yonehara Sakurako responded: "Okay, I understand."

"Wait!" Aoki Matsu immediately stopped Wakamatsu Serika and Yonehara Sakurako from taking action. "Mrs. Wakamatsu, please do not act on your own before our police have finished their inspection, especially do not eat anything."

"Okay! I understand." Wakamatsu Serika said with a pout.

Then, Wakamatsu, Serika and four other related personnel were gathering around a computer looking at different designs.

Shiina Masafuji looked at it and said, "I think this is fine. Anyway, it has satisfied the customer's requirements."

Fujinami Junsei said, "But it seems a bit too ordinary. I think the third one is more surprising."

Satake Yoshimi moved the mouse and said, "This is it!"

Shiina Masafuji saw this and said, "This is too fancy!"

Fujinami Junsheng heard this and said, "Then how about the first two?"

Wakamatsu Qinxiang rubbed her eyes uncomfortably at this time.

Seeing this, Satake Yoshimi immediately asked with concern: "Vice President, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Fujinami Junsheng took out a bottle of eye drops from his pocket and said, "If your eyes are tired, use my eye drops. I just bought them and haven't opened them yet!"

Wakamatsu Qinxiang took it and thanked her, "Thank you, I'll be welcome then."

Seeing this, Yonehara Sakurako quickly said, "I think you must be too tired. So many things happened today."

Wakamatsu Serika sighed when she heard this and said, "Yes!"
