But Boris Brown clearly doesn't think so.
Ever since he was chosen by the system and became its host, Boris Brown has had a feeling that he is the chosen one. He was originally arrogant, and now he has become even more arrogant. Not to mention Judy, even his boss, Boris Brown, is not afraid of him now.
So after hearing Judy's words, Boris Brown's face suddenly became gloomy.
But Judy is not a pushover either.
After meeting his gaze, she rolled her eyes at him.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
She folded her arms over her chest and snorted.
However, just when the two were at loggerheads and neither was willing to give in, a word from Hoshino Aoi instantly made both of them turn their attention back to her.
"But if it was for wiping hands, why were there so many used tissues where she was sitting?"
"What?"
Everyone looked over subconsciously and saw that there were indeed several crumpled paper towels on the seat where Miss Davis, who had come to eat with the deceased and was also the main suspect of Judy and Burris Brown, was sitting.
And judging from the degree of dryness and wetness above, Miss Davis obviously wiped her hands with a tissue after washing them.
But if that was the case, where did the water on her handkerchief come from?
Judy looked back and forth between the slightly water-stained handkerchief on the table and the equally half-dry tissue on the other side, her eyes thoughtful.
She wondered if the water marks on her handkerchief were really water marks, or if they were mixed with something else?
for example……
At this moment, her eyes swept across the table, as if she had discovered something, and suddenly she stopped.
Hoshino Aoi had been paying attention to her gaze from the beginning, so she naturally noticed her pause at this moment.
It seems she thought of it...
A hint of smile flashed in Hoshino Aoi's eyes.
But Judy understood what she meant, but Burris Brown on the other side obviously didn't understand.
So when Judy picked up the handkerchief with a serious face and examined it, Burris Brown still had an arrogant look on his face.
"What's so strange about that? Who says you have to use a handkerchief if you bring one?"
It's possible that he forgot or just used a tissue or something. Is this worth making a fuss about?
However, as soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Judy.
"That's indeed a possibility, but there's another possibility."
She slowly shifted her gaze from the handkerchief to the suspect in this case, Miss Davis, and explained to Burris Brown:
"Those marks left on the handkerchief aren't just water marks, but water marks mixed with potassium cyanide."
"Mixed with... traces of potassium cyanide?"
Burris Brown looked confused.
"yes."
Seeing that he still didn't seem to understand what she meant, Judy nodded and continued to explain:
"Didn't we just check the surveillance footage? We found that the deceased left her seat for a while. However, because they were sitting in a relatively remote location, the surveillance camera couldn't capture the specific footage. We only saw that after the deceased left her seat, Miss Davis took a cup from the waiter."
So at the beginning, in addition to suspecting Miss Davis, they also suspected the restaurant's kitchen and the waiter who served their table.
However, after discovering that the other two people had no relationship with the deceased, let alone a conflict, they gradually focused their attention on Miss Davis.
It's just that they never found the place where she stored the potassium cyanide, so there's no way to convict her.
Davis said:
"Yes, but I just explained the reason. Kenny never likes to drink water that is too hot, whether it's a beverage, coffee, or soup. He doesn't like it, so we specially ordered an iced version."
She pointed to the glass on her table, where a few half-melted ice cubes were lying quietly, showing that she was not lying.
"I don't think this should be a big deal, right? After all, we're eating together, and he's gone to the bathroom, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to reach out and take his order, right?"
As she spoke, Davis's voice even became a little sharp. She questioned Judy angrily, as if she was the one who killed her boyfriend.
However, Judy just pursed her lips and said lightly:
"Of course, but did you really just reach out and take that glass of ice?"
"What...what do you want to say?"
Seeing that she seemed to really know something, Davis's expression was tense for a moment, but it was quickly covered by sadness. If Judy hadn't been staring at her closely, he probably wouldn't have noticed this at all.
Compared to her, Burris Brown standing next to her really knew nothing.
But he was an FBI agent after all. Although he didn't understand what Judy was talking about, and why she suddenly brought up these things she had already asked before, and he also didn't like the way Judy was trying to take the reins, he still remained silent and just listened quietly as Judy continued:
"If you freeze the potassium cyanide into ice cubes in advance, then wrap the frozen potassium cyanide in a handkerchief and put it in your handbag, the ice cubes won't thaw easily given the current outdoor temperature. Plus, you know the deceased's living habits well and know he'll definitely order some extra ice cubes. So, you can take advantage of him going to the bathroom to put the ice cubes in the ice bucket."
All you have to do next is watch quietly as he puts the ice cube filled with potassium cyanide into the coffee cup and then drinks the poisonous coffee in one gulp.
The other party can kill himself without even doing anything himself.
"But he didn't do as you expected and left his seat to wash his hands immediately."
Recalling the surveillance footage they had seen before, it clearly recorded that Davis and the deceased seemed to have had some arguments before ordering food. The deceased almost turned around and left. In the end, it was unknown what Davis said that coaxed him to sit down again.
"Perhaps that was when the ice began to show signs of thawing?"
After all, the temperature in this store is quite high.
Judy thought.
This also explains why her handkerchief had light water marks even though it was not used.
