When Yoruichi Toyama heard her bring up the matter again, she suddenly realized what had happened.
So... that's how it is?
That's why the beverage laced with caustic soda ended up in Akemi Miyano's hands...
"Miss Lin! Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
The person most nervous about this conclusion was none other than Matsumoto, the management officer.
Akemi Miyano nodded and continued with her own topic.
"Actually, this can of drink in my hand was still in Ms. Sayuri's hands ten minutes ago..."
It sounds like an accusation against Sayuri, but Yoruichi Toyama knows, of course, that's not the case.
Among the people drinking beverages with Sayuri, Sonoko and Akemi Miyano both took the same lemon tea as her.
Sonoko, who was filming wedding highlights with a DV camera, found that the battery was dead and hurriedly ran out with Ran.
Akemi Miyano then put down her drink and chatted casually with Sayuri.
Not long after, the groom, Toshihiko Takasugi, appeared in the preparation room and showed affection for his bride.
Sonoko and Ran returned shortly afterward.
When only four girls and Conan remained in the room, Akemi Miyano realized that Sayuri had taken the lemon tea she had left behind.
Knowing their teacher's absent-minded nature, Ran and Sonoko couldn't help but tease her, and Sayuri, feeling embarrassed, exchanged her drink for another one.
Then came Taro's glorious moment of "heroic rescue".
After hearing Miyano Akemi's account of what happened, Matsumoto, the manager, broke out in a cold sweat.
"So, the one who almost drank that poisoned beverage was actually Sayuri..."
“Yes,” Miyano Akemi said affirmatively. “Before Sayuri-sensei took my drink by mistake, I took a sip right before I put it down, and there was nothing wrong with me.”
Conan also looked up and said, "Caustic alkali is highly irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. If someone were to accidentally ingest it, they would probably vomit after tasting just a tiny drop."
"This little kid... has such a wealth of chemistry knowledge!" Little Lily couldn't help but say with a smile.
But deep in her eyes, there seemed to be a hint of surprise and uncertainty.
Yoruichi Toyama chuckled and squatted down, reaching out to stroke Conan's large head.
"Of course! Conan is the great detective Kogoro Mouri's right-hand man!"
"Hey..." Conan, who was being teased, could only hold back his retort.
While the testimonies from Miyano Akemi and Conan, given their different perspectives, weren't particularly logical, they did give Matsumoto, the superintendent, a sense of enlightenment.
"In other words, the person who poisoned the drink was someone who had the opportunity to come into contact with the drink can between the time Ms. Lin put down the drink and the time the cat knocked it over."
"And most of the time, the drinks were in Sayuri's hands!"
"Takasugi!"
Manager Matsumoto roared, his voice like a thunderclap in the room.
When called upon, Toshihiko Takasugi looked timid but had no choice but to agree.
"According to what Miss Lin just said, you should be the only person who has entered this room recently!"
