On the other side, under the leadership of Haruko Kitagami, Karasawa also came to the botanical garden of Aomori University.
Although this is not my first time at Aomori University due to the case, it is my first time at the Botanical Garden.
In the closed botanical garden, the two walked along the path inside. After passing by various plants, they came to an area with "toxic plants" hanging on it.
"This is it." Haruko Kitagami stood in front of a small flowerpot and pointed at the green plant in front of her.
"It turns out to be belladonna." After seeing the introduction on the plant card, Tang Ze began to carefully observe the plant in front of him, as if he was really collecting material for writing.
The branches and leaves of belladonna are very sparse and ordinary, nothing special, but the flowers are quite distinctive.
Although it is called a flower, the flower in front of me is not fully bloomed. Instead, it is in a half-open state, drooping as a whole. Combined with the dark purple color, if it is paired with fruit, it really looks a bit like a drooping small eggplant.
"When you think of belladonna, you think of beautiful ladies."
Tang Ze smiled and looked at Kitagami Haruko and said, “However, behind this beautiful flower, there is poison.
I heard that watery eyes were popular in ancient Europe, and women at that time would put belladonna drops into their eyes to look beautiful.
Belladonna is a poisonous berry that can kill a child if eaten just a few times, and can cause blindness if put into the eyes daily over time.
But because belladonna water was the most effective and lasted the longest, it was used by women for a long time.”
"You understand it very well," Kitagami Haruko said with a slightly surprised smile, praising, "Should I say you're worthy of being a writer?"
"It's a job requirement." Tang Ze said with a smile, "It's always good to know more."
"Although belladonna is poisonous, with the advancement of medicine, it has become an indispensable medicine."
Kitagami Haruko lowered her head and looked at the small purple flower that had not yet fully opened: "The atropine contained in belladonna can be used as an analgesic, sleeping pill, pupil dilator, etc., and it is also used as a rhinitis medicine.
The specifics depend on how it is used.”
Kitagami Haruko's voice was very gentle, like a warm spring breeze blowing gently, making the originally boring knowledge seem interesting.
This is a very attractive woman.
In her second year of graduate school, she still has the purity of someone who has not yet left the campus, but her maturity adds a lot to her.
The mixture of these two temperaments does not conflict at all, but is very attractive.
If I have to describe it, it's the feeling of a pretty big sister next door. No wonder she was peeped at by boys just when she was reading a book in a cafe.
Of course, these are just objective observations for Tang Ze.
"This is what they call the inseparability of medicine and poison," Tang Ze said with a smile after hearing the other party's introduction. "It can be a 'poison' to kill, but it can also be a 'medicine' to save people."
Sighing, Tang Ze seemed to suddenly remember something and sighed: "Speaking of which, poisoning is really difficult to deal with."
"What?" Hearing Tang Ze's murmur, Kitagawa Haruko's heart seemed to skip a beat, and she subconsciously responded to Tang Ze's words with doubt and "I didn't hear it clearly".
"Ah, I mean, identifying the perpetrator of a poisoning is quite difficult."
Tang Ze explained enthusiastically: “Whether it’s a mystery novel or a poisoning murder in the real world, this is a method that is difficult to be convicted of.
Because even if the criminal does not have contact with the victim at the moment of killing, he can still kill.
It can be said that this alibi is very helpful for committing the crime."
Although Tang Ze was talking to himself and didn't look at the other person, he still noticed the coldness on his face out of the corner of his eye.
"Are you almost done?" Kitagami Haruko looked at Tang Ze with a smile, clearly showing her intention to "see him off".
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I was lost in my own world again."
Tang Ze bowed slightly politely: "I'm very sorry for wasting your time."
"No, this is very interesting. It's exactly the writer I imagined."
After showing a little bit of her edge, Haruko Kitagami seemed to realize that her reaction seemed a bit intense, so she smiled brightly again and immediately planned to turn around and leave.
"Ah, wait a moment, there's one last thing!"
Seeing Kitagawa Haruko about to leave, Tang Ze stopped her.
"What's up?"
Although Kitagami Haruko still had a smile on her face, she was already feeling impatient with the man who kept pestering her.
This also ruined her bright smile and conveyed her "impatience".
Of course, Tang Ze guessed that she did this on purpose because she wanted to draw his attention to it and make her leave.
As for such a difficult prisoner, he didn't believe that the other party's mental quality was so bad that he couldn't even control his own expression.
You know, in the world of science, a criminal's essential skill is acting, and for a tricky suspect like the other party, his acting skills are probably comparable to an Oscar.
"Well, after coming here and seeing Belladonna, I suddenly had some inspiration. I wonder if you could tell me about my idea for the novel?"
Tang Ze ignored the other person's expression and walked towards Belladonna, saying to himself, "In the novel I want to adapt this into, the professor was killed by a woman."
"Woman?" Kitagawa Haruko's eyes flickered slightly when she heard that, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why is it set up like this?"
