Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

Chapter 8: Shiina Yuu's Reasoning

"Officer Megure, I suggest you first test the fingerprints on the bottle of lemon tea that poisoned Ms. Matsumoto."

"If I'm not mistaken, there should only be two people's fingerprints on it." Shiina Yuichi said confidently.

"That's impossible. The video clearly shows everyone touching the can of drink."

Matsumoto Kiyonaga rewound the videotape with some doubt.

In the picture, indeed everyone has come into contact with Sayuri's lemon tea.

Shiina Yuichi shook his head and said, "You are right, Manager Matsumoto."

He also felt a little strange that he, a member of a...two-member illegal organization, was actually discussing the case with the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department here.

It's really like pouring shit on your head, the first one.

Shiina Yuichi coughed and continued, "But Officer Matsumoto, are you sure that Miss Matsumoto got the same can of lemon tea?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga suddenly realized something and rewound the videotape.

"This is--" Matsumoto Kiyonaga stared at the screen in disbelief.

"It seems that Manager Matsumoto has also discovered something wrong." Shiina Yuichi said, and then he pointed at the videotape.

In the picture, Sayuri Matsumoto is removing the bow from a straw.

"Here, Ms. Matsumoto didn't take the lemon tea, but put it on the table because she wanted to remove the bow tied on the straw by Umemiya-san."

In fact, when he saw this scene at the scene, he was very unhappy with Umemiya.

This person gave him the feeling of being too pretentious.

Conan also deeply agrees with this point.

"After that, the recording was interrupted for a while due to battery problems, but it was quickly resumed."

"Pay attention to the orientation of the label on the lemon tea bottle before and after the video."

This is also what Inspector Megure discovered, it is facing in the exact opposite direction.

Shiina Yuichi coughed lightly, "This means that the lemon tea that Ms. Matsumoto picked up the second time was not the can she put down at the beginning."

Shiina Yuu said as he walked towards a person without stopping talking.

"It was the can that Miss Suzuki Sonoko put on the table when she was going to buy video batteries with Miss Mao Lilan."

"It's just that the positions of the two cans happened to overlap at that time."

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized, "Yes, I remember putting the drink on the table at that time, but I didn't expect Mr. Shiina to find it."

When everyone present heard this, they understood what Inspector Megure meant by the inconsistent direction.

When Yuichi Shiina came and stood in front of Takasugi Toshihiko, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Everyone, please watch the video tape carefully."

"If my inference is correct, the murderer is the groom in front of me, Takasugi Toshihiko."

what!

Everyone was surprised again, why was the murderer the groom?

Takasugi Toshihiko also looked unhappy.

"Mr. Shiina, do you have any evidence to support your statement?" Inspector Megure was somewhat impressed by this young man.

Keen observation and clear logical reasoning ability.

It reminded him of a certain high school detective.

"Of course there is evidence." Shiina Yuu nodded, "Didn't everyone notice it?"

"In the videotape, the last suspect to touch the lemon tea bottle was Takasugi Toshihiko."

"According to my reasoning just now, there will only be fingerprints of the groom and Suzuki Sonoko on the lemon tea bottle."

"As for the evidence."

Shiina Yuichi looked at the videotape showing Miss Matsumoto drinking lemon tea, pointed at the videotape and laughed.

"In the video, isn't the label on the bottle of lemon tea on the table facing the same direction as the label on the lemon tea bottle we saw earlier?"

Everyone watched the videotape again, and it was just as Shiina Yuichi said. In addition to the bottle in Sayuri Matsumoto's hand, there was also a bottle of lemon tea on the table.

The label on it is in the same position as on the previous can.

"In that case, isn't the groom a big suspect? After all, the bottle of lemon tea that Manager Matsumoto and his men touched before is still here, isn't it?"

Shiina Yuichi walked to the table again, where there was a cup of lemon tea exactly the same as the one on the videotape.

He turned sideways so everyone could see.

Inspector Megure also immediately asked the forensic personnel to protect the evidence.

"How do you explain the capsule?" Mao Lilan asked somewhat confused.

"In fact, the capsule is not important."

Before Shiina Yuichi could speak, Conan, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but speak.

"After all, according to Shiina brother's reasoning, as long as the fingerprints are confirmed and the evidence is from the videotape, it can constitute a valid chain of evidence." Conan raised his face and said in a baby voice.

"But why couldn't the bride have committed suicide by taking poison?"

Hearing Conan's delicate tone, Shiina Yuichi's mouth twitched and he clenched his fists for no reason.

Although Conan's question was a bit impolite, what he said was not wrong. The possibility of the bride committing suicide has not been ruled out.

Shiina Yuichi came to Conan, squatted down, rubbed his head hard, and said with a warm smile.

"Little brother, you are very smart."

Then he stood up again and said, "Of course, the bride could also commit suicide."

At this time, a police officer walked in from outside the house.

"Officer Megure, we found this in the trash can in the hallway."

The appearance of the police interrupted Shiina Yuichi's reasoning.

Officer Megure took the thing from the police officer and looked at it. "It's a glass bottle. There seems to be desiccant in it."

At the same time, the identification results of the capsules came out.

This capsule can dissolve in lemon tea in about fifteen minutes.

After hearing the report, a light flashed in Conan's mind.

Something suddenly clicked in his mind, making him realize.

At the same time, he looked at Shiina Yuichi in disbelief. Could it be that this guy had already discovered that Mr. Matsumoto would not commit suicide?

So what did he base his judgment on?

The new evidence was apparently discovered just now.

Yuichi Shiina was laughing very happily. He was originally thinking about how to explain that the bride would not commit suicide.

As a result, when I feel sleepy, someone will bring me a pillow.

"Ahem." Shiina Yuichi coughed twice and said, "Sodium hydroxide is a dangerous substance that will turn into liquid in a short time if exposed to the air. If Miss Matsumoto wants to commit suicide, she will need a container that can hold it."

"For example, the glass bottle and desiccant that the police officer just found."

"But how did Ms. Matsumoto, who never left the room until she collapsed from the poisoning, throw something like that into the trash can in the hallway?"

"So, it is impossible for Ms. Matsumoto to commit suicide."

"As for the question about the capsule that Ms. Mao Lilan asked just now, I can now give an explanation."

Shiina Yuichi looked at Officer Megure and said, "Officer Megure, do you remember how long ago you called the ambulance?"

Upon hearing this, Officer Megure opened his police handbook, glanced at the record, and replied, "It was 1:46 p.m."

"Then if we move forward fifteen minutes, who was the suspect who appeared at the scene?" Shiina Yuichi asked again.

This time it was Suzuki Sonoko who gave the answer.

"It was Manager Matsumoto. I even checked the time on the wall at that time."

"Ms. Suzuki Sonoko is very attentive." Shiina Yuichi praised.

Suzuki Sonoko smiled shyly.

"Then, combined with my previous inference, it is possible that Manager Matsumoto has not committed a crime, so the appearance of the capsule is likely to be a misleading."

"Misleading?"

"That's right. In fact, in the final analysis, we only saw the capsule. If the murderer put the capsule and sodium hydroxide separately into the lemon tea, then the time of committing the crime would be greatly shortened."

"And the capsule is just a trick used to remove himself from the time range of the poisoning."

"That's what we call clearing yourself of suspicion."

At this point, the case is very clear and everyone understands it.

The only person who could have thrown away the glass bottle and desiccant and had the chance to poison the bride was the groom Takasugi Toshihiko.

All suspicions pointed to him.

When everyone's eyes turned to Takasugi Toshihiko, he did not deny it, but just stood there with a sneer.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga grabbed Takasugi Toshihiko by the collar and questioned him emotionally.

"Tell me, why do you treat my daughter like this, why!!"

Takasugi Toshihiko broke free from Matsumoto Kiyonaga's hands and said with a ferocious expression.

"Why? I want you to have the same experience as I had."
