Please think carefully. When I asked you that question, the original sentence was, "The professor was killed by a poison called atropine, right?"
Later, when I asked you to take me to the botanical garden to find the plant that took the professor's life, you didn't tell me the specific species.
But you took me to Belladonna without hesitation."
When Tang Ze said this, he looked at Kitagami Haruko, but the other party turned her face away as if she saw something sharp and avoided looking at Tang Ze.
But Tang Ze took another step forward to meet the other party's evasive eyes, and said in a tone that did not allow for rebuttal: "In other words, you know what took the professor's life!
That's not datura or other plants containing atropine, but a poison extracted from belladonna!
The professor did so that day, and today, after asking about the time and place of Manabe's death, you did not ask about the most crucial cause of death. You obviously made the same mistake again.
These two omissions show that you
Based on the current situation, there are two answers.
The first one is simple: you are the murderer.
The second one is what you heard from the murderer.
But judging from the current situation, I have to say that the first possibility is more likely.
And when I first saw you, I had a hunch that you were the murderer.
So, I wonder if my reasoning is wrong?"
Silence fell again, but this time Tang Ze didn't intend to let her get away with it in this way.
"Miss Beishen!"
In the silence, Tang Ze suddenly shouted, which made Kitagawa Haruko shudder subconsciously.
She turned her head away, not daring to look at Tang Ze again. With her back to the two of them, she said in a hoarse voice, "I admit defeat... I did it. I killed them."
Kitagami Haruko still had an inexplicable smile on her face. She turned to look at Tang Ze and the others and said, "Can I go change my clothes?"
"Huh?" Naoki Kamii was a little confused when he heard the other party's request.
"I'm a girl after all." Kitagami Haruko smiled and nodded at her pajamas. "You can't let me go to the Metropolitan Police Department wearing this, right?"
"Oh oh..." Naoki Kamii nodded blankly. The other party smiled at them and turned to go upstairs.
But when he turned his back to the two of them, that warm smile turned into coldness and resentment in an instant.
Watching Kitagami Haruko go upstairs, Uei Naoki finally let go of his worries and sat down on the sofa as if he had breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, she confessed. I was so nervous just now, worried that she could continue to withstand the pressure."
"Indeed, if she refuses to confess, it will be difficult to arrest her with the evidence we have now."
Tang Ze nodded, but his brows were still furrowed: "But, I always feel that it's going a little too smoothly..."
"Huh?" Naoki Kamii was a little surprised when he heard that. "Why do you say that?"
"After all, she was an opponent that Hiroaki Hota had created to make things difficult for me..."
"Oh, Detective Tang Ze, you worry too much."
Upon hearing this, Naoki Kamii waved his hand and said, "If it was just the professor's murder case, we would have a real headache, but who is to blame for her continuing to commit crimes afterwards?
Moreover, the previous deceased Sagawa Hikoyama and the deceased Manabe Iyama two days ago happened to be investigated by us and Senior Takagi and others, and it was impossible to cover it up all of a sudden.
And now that Kitagami Haruko has confessed, there's nothing to worry about."
"Yeah... maybe I'm overthinking it." Tang Ze thought about it and realized that it was indeed true, so he waited patiently for the other party to change clothes.
But as time passed, Tang Ze's bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
"It's been about ten minutes." Tang Ze looked at the watch on his wrist and frowned: "It's a bit too long."
"But she can't run away anywhere. I see that the windows of the villa are all equipped with guardrails..."
Naoki Kamii scratched his head and said, "Girls seem to be quite slow in changing clothes. My ex-girlfriend was like that..."
Tang Ze also noticed that the villa had a guardrail, which was why he felt at ease letting the other party change clothes.
But now he doesn't plan to wait any longer.
"Let's go up and take a look."
Since he had already decided to take action, Tang Ze did not hesitate any longer and went straight upstairs.
"Miss Bei Shen, are you there?"
After going upstairs, Tang Ze knocked directly on the bedroom door, but there was no response from inside the room.
"Miss Beishen?"
Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Naoki Kamii knocked on the door impatiently. A dull sound was heard. The sound was loud enough but still no response was received.
"Get out of the way."
Tang Ze pulled Naoki Kamii to the side and kicked the door. The wooden door could not withstand Tang Ze's kick and was broken open violently.
And the next moment, the entire scene in the room was within his sight.
I saw Kitagami Haruko lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully like Sleeping Beauty.
Tang Ze hurried forward to check on the situation. Noticing that the man still had a pulse, he felt relieved and immediately said, "Call an ambulance!"
Upon hearing this, Naoki Kamii immediately took out his cell phone, and Tang Ze also noticed the small bottle placed on the other party's bedside and his face looked extremely ugly.
Kitagami Haruko actually committed suicide by taking poison under the pretext of changing clothes.
But it was too late to say anything now. After calling an ambulance, Tang Ze and the others moved Kitagami Haruko downstairs, and then waited for the ambulance to arrive and quickly carried her upstairs.
When the door of the emergency room opened, Tang Ze and the others hurried to ask the doctor about the condition.
"The patient has undergone gastric lavage and is in a relatively stable condition. He is not in danger of death."
