Chapter 16411649 [Suspect: New Brother]

"Mr. Shinjo plays Maki's lover in the play, and in real life, they are really lovers."

The makeup artist revealed something that would delight the paparazzi: "When we first met, Ms. Makiri really liked him, but gradually, she felt that Mr. Shinjo was getting too old and she was a little tired of him. Recently, she often asked me if there was anyone younger and cuter, and she became less and less willing to pay Mr. Shinjo any favors."

Kidd touched his fake face: "…" Younger and cuter… Could this guy be talking about Jiang Xia? That bastard detective is indeed younger than this skin, but how can you tell how cute he is? Are these people's eyesight not very good?

Suzuki Sonoko followed the makeup artist to look at the assistant, the director, the director's wife, Maki Juri's ex-husband, and Maki Juri's ex-lover. Her eyes, which were originally bright and moist, gradually tended to turn into mosquito coils: "Too many, too many this time..."

"..." Jiang Xia glanced at her, secretly raised his hand and patted her head, trying to pat away these strange thoughts: Don't think about these anymore, it will burn out the CPU like Conan...

His movements were not too big, but they still caught the attention of the makeup artist.

"Actually, this detective..." The makeup artist spoke again. She remembered Makiri's determination to get Jiang Xia - this mentality of treating people as playthings should be very offensive to Jiang Xia. In other words, Jiang Xia also had a motive.

But then he thought again, Jiang Xia was the only detective present, and it would be bad if he targeted him because of this.

The makeup artist had to hold it back.

She temporarily skipped Jiang Xia and looked at the assistant sitting next to her: "And this Miss Yaguchi."

The assistant just breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly sat up straight: "..." I thought it was over for her, but why is she back now? !

The makeup artist had no sympathy at all: "The deceased often complained about her gloomy personality and always insulted and criticized her in front of others. After years of accumulation, this kind of pressure is enough to turn an ordinary worker into a murderer."

"Of course, if you really want to count, I do have a motive."

Finally, the makeup artist concluded with her own words: "I am just a makeup artist, but Mu Shuli always uses me as an assistant. She asks me to do all kinds of messy things. I do the work of three or four people for one salary. She always stops me from changing jobs."

She looked at Jiang Xia: "In short, I don't recommend you to start with the motive when investigating the case, because the deceased really loves to offend people. No matter who it is, even if they just met once, they will be scolded by her. For example-"

Next to him, Hashimoto Maya had been quietly staying out of the matter. He was very grateful to the makeup artist just now because she had drawn everyone's attention to the acquaintance in Maki.

But now, the makeup artist suddenly looked at him.

Hashimoto Maya: “?”

...What, what are you doing?!

The moment they looked at each other, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

He suddenly wanted to rush over, stepping on the backs of several rows of chairs, and cover the woman's mouth so that she couldn't say the next word. However, with so many people around him and under everyone's watchful eyes, his idea could only be an idea in the end and could not be realized.

So the makeup artist's voice successfully sounded in the cabin.

She raised her hand and pointed her finger at Hashimoto Maya: "Just now, when this gentleman asked Makijuri for an autograph, Makijuri's attitude was very bad. If I hadn't intervened, she would have rejected him."

The makeup artist looked at Hashimoto Maya with a look that seemed to see through everything. "A handsome guy like you, who failed to strike up a conversation and was rejected by the other party, must feel a little resentful. Not long ago, I saw a similar report about a winner in life who attempted to kill a girl in revenge after failing to strike up a conversation with her. So strictly speaking, you are not without motive."

Hashimoto Maya: “…”

During the journey, Hashimoto Maya was always on guard against Usa attacking him or his boss. When he got to the high-rise building, he looked up at the sky to prevent himself from being killed by falling objects. Who knew that in the end, the person who died was actually an actress sitting next to Jiang Xia, and the cause of death was also turned out to be poisoning.

As someone who had nothing to do with the actress, he should have been able to stay out of it. But now, all his efforts were wasted due to the makeup artist's unreasonable behavior.

Iced tea suddenly opened the floodgates.

This time, it didn't just pop up for a second or two and then shut down like before. Instead, it expanded intermittently for five or six seconds before finally falling.

Jiang Xia's eyes lit up as he looked at the ghosts busy picking tea.

He looked up at the makeup artist and saw that the makeup artist mentioned the new younger brother and then there was no follow-up. He was not very satisfied at first and had to speak up himself.

The detective's voice suddenly rang out in the cabin, and he spoke in a relaxed tone, like telling a story:

"Speaking of this, I remember something - have you ever read a detective novel? There is a classic scene where a group of people gather at the table in the Snowstorm Villa to drink tea together, using the same cups and the same tea. However, after the party, there is always a specific person who is poisoned on the spot.

"This is because the poisoned substance was not the tea that was taken, but a specific part of the teacup. And in the process of drinking tea, only one specific person would touch the poison.

"Perhaps Miss Makiri died of this reason too - it wasn't the chocolate that was poisoned, but a place that her hands could touch. For example, I remember that when Mr. George asked Miss Makiri for her autograph just now, he touched the armrest and back of Miss Makiri's chair. If these two places were poisoned, Miss Makiri would have touched the back of the chair with her hands before eating the chocolate, and the poison would have come into her hands."

“…”

The more he listened, the more it seemed to be true, and even the person involved was almost beginning to believe it.

It was as if a ton of dynamite exploded in Maya Hashimoto's head: he tried to reduce his presence, only leaving his seat twice during the entire process... and then the person he had contacted suddenly died.

He naturally became the biggest suspect and was about to be investigated by the police. He would also be killed by the organization on the way to the police station... How did things get to this point? !

After a moment of stagnation, Hashimoto Maya suddenly came to his senses and remembered something - what was the reason why the makeup artist suspected him just now? It seemed that it was because he was rejected when he asked for an autograph. Not long ago, the makeup artist happened to have seen a report about a "life winner who failed to strike up a conversation, threw someone down the stairs to kill his friend, and took revenge on the person he had spoken to", so he connected the two together.

...That building fall case that should have been written off is actually related to today's case?!
