Under the guidance of Kitagami Haruko, the two followed each other into the courtyard.
Bei Shen's family's courtyard is very large and well maintained, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.
And it seems that because the Beishen family has a father who is a botanist, he even planted some uncommon plants and flowers in his garden.
"I don't recognize any of the flowers here." Naoki Kamii looked at the flowers that looked like they were blooming and couldn't help but exclaim: "You are indeed a botanist."
But Kitagami Haruko did not respond, but instead stared at Tang Ze's standing figure.
"Is this... belladonna?"
Tang Ze looked at the familiar crops in front of him and asked.
"That's right." Kitagami Haruko smiled playfully after hearing what Tang Ze said: "That's the plant you were looking for when you collected the materials."
"By the way, don't you care about the cause of Mr. Manabe's death?"
Tang Ze did not follow the other party's words to expand the topic, but suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic.
"What"
"The cause of Mr. Manabe's death."
Hearing Kitagawa Haruko's doubtful words, Tang Ze looked at Belladonna and said something that made Kitagawa Haruko's face turn cold.
"You just asked Mr. Manabe when he died, right?"
Tang Ze said in a calm yet sharp tone, "Kamii answered your question."
"After learning when and where someone you know died, wouldn't you usually continue to inquire about the cause of death?"
Tang Ze turned around and looked at the cold-faced Kitagawa Haruko behind him and said, "I think generally speaking, people would care about it.
But you should have known the time and place of his death, accepted it, and went to make tea."
Tang Ze took a step closer, examined the expressionless Kitagami Haruko, and asked a fatal question: "Why don't you ask about the cause of his death?"
The meaning of this question is very clear, almost saying "Because you are the murderer, you know the cause of death."
But facing Tang Ze's questioning, Kitagawa Haruko's face did not show any fluctuation. Instead, she chuckled and asked in return: "Didn't I ask?"
"Yeah." Tang Ze nodded.
"He said I didn't ask." Haruko Kitagawa looked at Naoki Kamii with a smile, as if to confirm.
"You didn't ask." Naoki Kamii said firmly.
"Then~I'm asking what the cause of death was now?" Kitagami Haruko's tone was full of sarcasm, and at the end it was completely cold.
"He died of poisoning." Tang Ze didn't seem to notice her concern, but pointed at the belladonna in front of him and said, "He died of atropine poisoning."
"Although this poison is very common, it's actually difficult for ordinary people to get their hands on it, right?"
Naoki Kamii asked back, then changed the subject: "So it's hard to say he committed suicide, right?
Not only that, it is also very similar to Professor Maruyama’s case.”
"Mr. Manabe carries this with him. After testing, we found that it is full of nutritional supplements such as vitamins."
Tang Ze took out the medicine box from the evidence bag and said, "I'm afraid there's a poisonous capsule mixed in here.
In other words, the goddess of death, "Atropos," finally smiled upon Mr. Makoto today."
“........”
Kitagawa Haruko did not answer, she just lowered her head and remained silent, and when Kamii Naoki saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.
The other party did not answer their questions nor refute them but remained silent, which he did not think was a bad thing.
Because the more this happens, the greater the pressure the other person is under, the more conflicted they are inside, and the more likely they are to reveal the truth.
But the result disappointed Naoki Kamii. Kitagami Haruko finally raised her head and looked at the two of them and asked, "So?"
"It's no use denying it,"
Tang Ze looked at Kitagawa Haruko and said, "Sagawa Hikoyama's body was also found in the past few days, and my colleagues are investigating his whereabouts as usual.
The house was unknown to his family and was obviously his secret meeting place.
In this case, sooner or later you will be able to find the connection between you and the other person.
Also, although Professor Maruyama has passed away, his physical evidence is still there, so the medicine box you used to poison him is naturally also preserved."
"That is to say, we were able to trace at least three middle-aged men who were related to you, or even closely related to you. They are all dead, and it can be basically concluded that they were poisoned by atropine."
Naoki Kamii made a three sign and said, "I don't think anyone would think this is just a coincidence, right?
We will doubt you, but there is nothing we can do about it."
"You can suspect whatever you want, but do you have any evidence?" Kitagami Haruko looked at Uei Naoki and smiled, "Evidence that I killed them."
"evidence..."
After hearing what Kitagami Haruko said, Kamii Naoki's previously aggressive and calm expression froze and he fell into an awkward silence.
"No, right?" Kitagami Haruko smiled and said, "If you doubt me without any evidence and just based on speculation, it would really bother me."
"But you confessed your crime to me yourself."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "That was when we first met and you took me to the medicinal plant garden. Did you forget that you took me to the belladonna place?"
"Of course not." Kitagami Haruko nodded with a calm expression.
"It's true that belladonna contains atropine as a toxin, but there should be other plants in the medicine garden that contain atropine."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "For example, the famous Datura, if I remember correctly, is also a nightshade plant containing atropine. Of course, it is also grown in the botanical garden.
