Chapter 2397 2409 [FBI Arrested]

Inspector Megure looked at the security guard who was distributing coffee. He suddenly felt that he had found a blind spot: "The paper cups used in the stalls all look the same. When you distributed the drinks to them, did you open the lids to see what was inside?"

——As long as the lid is opened, there is a chance to secretly poison it!

The security guard understood his subtext: "I, I did open the cup lids, but I only looked at my own cup! - As for the two cups of iced coffee, they had small boxes of milk and sugar on the top of the cups. They can be identified without opening them. Meng Mei can testify to this!"

Suzuki Sonoko was originally curiously watching Hattori Heiji who was being beaten, but when she heard about this case, she couldn't help but become interested.

She played the role of a self-proclaimed "assistant detective" and made a guess: "Speaking of this, since iced coffee comes with milk and sugar, the murderer could actually poison it by replacing the creamer and syrup! - You don't even need to open the cup lid, you just need to secretly replace the two small boxes of gifts when passing the coffee, and you can unknowingly put the poison into the victim's drink."

The fashionable nurse was experienced and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Cyanide works immediately! If that were the case, he would have collapsed at the beginning of the play. How could he suddenly die in the middle of the play? - And look at his cup."

She pointed to the paper cup that fell beside the body and said, "It was all drunk, so it's not because he didn't drink it after the show started. Anyway, it couldn't have been me who poisoned him!"

The female clerk was startled: "Wait, if you knew this, why did you hint to the police that I poisoned the drinks when I bought them?"

"..." The fashionable nurse was a little embarrassed. "I just thought of it. Besides, now that there is a murder case, then, there must be a murderer. Anyway, the murderer is not me, so it must be one of you."

In the blink of an eye, the suspects started arguing again, and this time there was an additional suspect, Suzuki Sonoko.

Seeing this, Inspector Megure was overwhelmed. He didn't know whether he should try to stop the fight or take the opportunity to eavesdrop to see if anyone had let slip and revealed important information in a hurry.

But soon, he found that he didn't need to worry too much: Isn't there Jiang Xia next to him? When his own brain is not enough, he can use someone else's.

"Brother Jiang Xia." Inspector Megure approached familiarly, "What are you thinking about? Do you have an idea?"

Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "I just suddenly remembered that there seems to be another person related to this case."

Mumu Police Department: "..."

There are already five suspects, and we want to add more?

After a moment of silence, he wiped his face and said, "You talk, I listen."

Jiang Xia was about to speak when a cold voice suddenly came from the side.

The short-haired female student who was setting up the stall pushed up her glasses and whispered, "Kengping died of beverage poisoning. If I remember correctly, the coffee on the counter was provided by our new foreign teacher. When I poured the drinks earlier, I habitually took some coffee first, and then I thought of the idea of ​​putting the wrong food in to lure him over to talk, so I turned to take the Coke."

The dean's daughter looked up at Inspector Megure and said calmly, "Although I don't think she's the murderer, it's better to ask someone to come over and ask about the situation. I often played in the hospital when I was a child, and I saw many cases of mixed poisoning, that is, the deceased ate two kinds of food one after another. One of the foods would not cause poisoning, but mixed together would be fatal."

"If someone poisoned him in this way, then the coffee that the teacher suddenly brought is a bit suspicious." The female student looked down at the body on the ground with a complicated expression, "I hope you can find the murderer as soon as possible."

"Foreign teacher?" Inspector Megure felt that the word sounded familiar. He looked at Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko for confirmation, "Could it be..."

Jiang Xia: "We have only had one foreign teacher recently."

Mumu Police Department: "..."

What did that restless foreign woman do again!

He sighed: "Where is that teacher Judy now?"

Suzuki Sonoko then remembered this incident: "I remember that she was planning to set up a stall before, but she soon came to help backstage. Later, she even helped us temporarily fill the vacant female lead role. After that..."

At this point, she paused, then realized belatedly that it seemed like she hadn’t seen Teacher Judy for a while: “Later, the play was interrupted by a murder case, and I don’t think I’ve seen him since.”

When Inspector Megure heard this, his suspicion reached a peak again: a normal person would come over to check on the situation when encountering a sudden murder case, but teacher Judy actually left quietly... something was wrong, very wrong!

His eyes turned serious: "Contact her immediately and ask her to come over to cooperate with the investigation."

Akai Shuichi who watched everything: "..."

Was this also part of that person’s plan?

If this continues, even if the police know that they are the FBI, they will probably have a crisis of trust in each case and will no longer cooperate with them in the future... We have to find a way to prevent this unfavorable change.

...But now that things have come to this, I can only think of a solution next time.

As for today… Today’s goal is to not step into the police station as a murderer.

…

When Suzuki Sonoko walked over and called Judy.

Nearby, the police investigation seemed to have made progress.

"Inspector, we found this in the victim's pocket." Officer Takagi looked at the item in his hand in surprise. "It's the creamer and syrup that go with iced coffee - the victim didn't put them in the coffee, but put them in his pocket."

Jiang Xia took away some murderous aura from Akai Shuichi and looked at several acquaintances of the deceased: "He usually doesn't put milk and sugar in his coffee?"

"No." The nurse shook her head. "I remember he added both, and quite a lot. One time I bought him coffee and forgot to bring milk and sugar, and he scolded me for that."

The other two nodded, apparently also having some impression of the deceased's habit.

Inspector Megure scratched his head: "Why didn't he drink this time?"

The short-haired female student next to him said calmly, "Didn't I just say that? Because I secretly replaced his cup of iced coffee with Coke."

Everyone was startled: "Ah?"

Under the confused gazes of the crowd, the dean's daughter sighed softly: "At the time, I thought that if this happened, he would come back to the booth to replace my drinks, so that we could have a good talk...but he never came."

Suzuki Sonoko's nose twitched, and she felt like she smelled gossip: "What do you want to talk to him about?"

The short-haired girl glanced at her and said, "Our engagement - ever since I decided to break up the engagement with him, there has been no communication between us."

"Engagement?!" The onlookers were stunned. "You two are about 10 years apart in age, and you actually have an engagement?"
