COS Jae-Ryu-Sui accidentally came to Beika-Cho

Chapter 8: Case Solved (The Little Detective Who Was Tricked~)

"What is going on, Mr. Tsushima?" Inspector Megure had a preliminary understanding of Tsushima's remarks.

Be responsible for what you say. This kind of thing requires evidence rather than just empty words.

Besides, I just learned this morning that the other person has amnesia, so I don’t know if he is serious about what he said.

"Well, I did say that Miss Sagawa Koe is the murderer. Is there a problem with that?" Tsushima blinked and looked at everyone innocently.

Officer Megure:...

——Very problematic!

Kudo Shinichi, who had been silent, came back to his senses because of this sentence, "Did big sister find out something?" He then remembered that he had said this sentence at the beginning, but he forgot to ask it again because he was interrupted.

"Mr. Tsushima, if you know anything, please tell me and help us solve the case." Inspector Megure did not press the matter. Although citizens have the obligation to cooperate, he did not push and was sincere.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Tsushima with expectation, mainly wanting to know whether she had really discovered something or was just talking nonsense.

At the same time holding such doubts.

——Is this woman named Tsushima very good at reasoning?

"Damn, I just happened to see the poisoning process." Tsushima smiled and slowly told the truth.

"Eh!!!"

Everyone was shocked by Tsushima's words.

Officer Megure hurriedly asked, "Could you please explain in detail, Mr. Tsushima?"

Both the suspect and Kudo Shinichi kept their eyes on the woman who knew the truth.

Because of Tsushima's words, the three suspects showed different expressions, some seemed relieved, some glared, and some frowned, each with different thoughts.

"Let me tell you the evidence first!" Tsushima thought for a while, walked to Sagawa Kohui's side, lifted her hand, gently stroked her nails and said, "The nails are beautiful~ It's a pity!"

Sagawa Xiaohui subconsciously curled her palm because of Tsushima's words, and then tried to test it nonchalantly, "Of course it won't be a pity if it is used for decoration, right?"

"You're right. Then ask the police to test the toxins remaining on this nail." Tsushima looked at the nails carefully, selecting them one by one, and then pointed out one and said.

Sagawa Xiaohui took back the hand that was grabbed by Tsushima and said in shock, "You!"

"Don't be anxious. Listen to me first and then you can explain." Tsushima interrupted Sagawa Xiaohui's questioning and continued, "The process of poisoning is actually very simple. It takes advantage of the sight of people around. As long as no one sees it, it will be fine."

"And how do you make people avoid your sight? Your method is... little brother, tell me about it." Tsushima stopped talking halfway and turned to ask Kudo Shinichi who was standing beside him, looking at him with a smile without saying a word.

"It's a kiss!" Kudo Shinichi blurted out as he recalled the scene when he entered the store and what Sonoko had said.

"Yes, kissing in public will indeed make people around you look away in embarrassment. Of course, there are some abnormal people who won't do that~"

"And I happened to be sitting in a position where I could see you clearly, so I could see you clearly~"

Tsushima said in a teasing and nonchalant tone, and then announced, "Sagawa Koe put a micro-capsule of poison hidden in her fingernails into the victim's coffee cup, and she subconsciously stirred it with her fingernails. The capsule was able to dissolve quickly, probably because it was made of a water-soluble material."

"Then your nails will also be stained with poison, right! Miss Sagawa Xiaohui~"

Officer Megure said seriously, "Ms. Sagawa, in order to confirm Tsushima-san's reasoning, please cooperate with us to do a check."

"No need, it's just as she said." Sagawa Kohui instantly changed her previous attitude and admitted it directly.

"Why? Xiaohui, aren't you and Kinoshita childhood sweethearts?" Yamada Ryosuke couldn't believe that the truth turned out to be a trap set by good friends.

"There's no reason, I just don't like him anymore." Sagawa Kohui said the cruel words calmly.

Would you kill your boyfriend if you don't like him?

This woman is so cruel and horrible!

This is what everyone thought in their hearts.

Yamada Ryosuke still couldn't accept it. Does he have to be so ruthless just because he doesn't like someone?

No one can accept this kind of thing!

"Stop joking, Miss Sagawa, can you take other people's lives so unscrupulously just for this reason? What do you regard human life, morality and law as?" Inspector Megure scolded angrily.

As a policeman, he felt that this was a sad and confusing thing. Even ordinary people would find Sagawa Koe's reason for murder absurd.

"What can I do? He refuses to break up, so I have to kill him." Sagawa Kohui covered her face and cried.

She was not repenting for her actions but resenting them.

Hatred of the dead.

Unrepentant!

"People always make excuses for their mistakes, but this is also human nature." Tsushima said softly, looking at Sagawa Kohui's face and chuckling, "Ms. Sagawa likes Mr. Yamada, right!" He said it all.

Sagawa Koe looked at Tsushima in shock, as if the other party had said something unimaginable.

As the other person in the conversation, Yamada Ryosuke's expression was equally incredible.

Yamada Ryosuke found it hard to accept, "Xiaohui? No... Is that what Sagawa said?"

"......Yeah." Seeing that the other party even changed his way of addressing her, Sagawa Xiaohui nodded with mixed feelings.

She didn't know whether it was because her unexpressed feelings were directly rejected, or because she was forced to let go, but in any case, it seemed like there was no turning back. She was wrong from the beginning.

The case was over, the truth was revealed, and Inspector Megure took the criminal away, leaving only three children and Tsushima at the scene.

Kudo Shinichi stayed mainly because he had some questions for Tsushima.

"Hey, Sister Tsushima, how did you know that Miss Sagawa likes Mr. Yamada?" Kudo Shinichi asked, pulling the corner of Tsushima's clothes and looking up.

"Yeah, how do I know she likes him?" Tsushima pretended to be confused and said in a teasing tone, "Maybe I have some superpower to see through people's hearts!"

Kudo Shinichi: ?????**

Kudo Shinichi silently loosened the corner of Tsushima's clothes, turned around and left, not forgetting to pull along Mouri Ran and Sonoko who were watching the show.

"Puchi! Hahahaha!" Tsushima laughed unscrupulously behind the back, without any sense of the unreliability of an adult teasing a minor.

"Hmph, if you don't want to tell me, don't tell me. I'll figure it out myself." Kudo Shinichi curled his lips, said this and left.

Tsushima continued laughing until he could no longer see the man and then he muttered breathlessly, "You are so funny."

On the way out, Kudo Shinichi remembered the point that he had really overlooked, that is, did Tsushima really see Sagawa Koe poisoning?

Kudo Shinichi recalled that Tsushima's position was indeed right across from Sagawa Koe and the others. The table where the incident occurred was occupied by the victim Kinoshita Takuya, next to him was Sagawa Koe, and opposite him was Yamada Ryosuke. This means that Sagawa Koe could have poisoned the coffee cup near the inside. During this process, Sagawa Koe had her back to Tsushima. Even if one deliberately looked at Sagawa Koe's hand movements when they were kissing, one could not be completely sure. So how was Tsushima sure?

Did she really see the poisoning process?

Unable to think of an answer, and unable to go back and ask directly now, Kudo Shinichi put aside his doubts for the time being and planned to ask the question the next time they met. Or maybe he was just overthinking it.

Inspector Megure should know about Miss Tsushima. I'll ask for her contact information when the time comes.
