Chapter 2295 2307 [Detective Suzuki Sonoko]
Editor Toda listened to this complicated situation and couldn't help but sigh: "Cases that happen in real life can be more complicated than those deliberately designed mystery novels."
Vodka: "..." Of course, because this was also deliberately designed! It's just that you stupid guys can't see the screenwriter hiding behind the scenes.
As this thought flashed through his mind, he pushed up his glasses, and a strange sense of pride welled up in his heart.
After a moment, Vodka realized what he was thinking: "..."
There is nothing to be proud of. It's simply unlucky!
He tapped his forehead with his fingers, trying to knock something out of his mind.
Miwako Sato noticed his movements and couldn't help but look at him again: "..." He actually hit himself because his brain couldn't work. This assistant is working hard! Although it seems that he has not been able to learn Jiang Xia's wisdom, at least his attitude is in place.
Suddenly, Vodka realized that someone was looking at him: "?"
The two were looking at each other with their own thoughts, when a man strode over to them.
——Inspector Megure picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a pot of water. He drank it down in one gulp, then sighed: "Another group of reporters are coming outside! These guys have such a keen sense of smell."
As he said this, he looked at Jiang Xia expectantly: "Brother Jiang Xia, do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "It could be that someone from outside committed the crime. The murderer broke in and poisoned the victim before running away."
When Inspector Megure heard this possibility, his heart skipped a beat: this kind of needle-in-a-haystack search method is undoubtedly the most difficult to find the murderer.
He was roughly estimating the terrible overtime hours that would follow, when his reliable brother Jiang Xia changed the subject:
"But if this is the case, the murderer doesn't need to prepare three different poisons. On the other hand, if three murderers brought different poisons and broke into the villa at the same time last night, the timing would be too coincidental.
"So another possibility is actually more likely - some of the three poisons that appeared in this case were prepared by people inside the villa."
Inspector Megure's eyes lit up: "!" It will be much easier to find the insider!
Vodka looked at his relaxed appearance: "..." First give a desperate answer, and then throw out an easier choice... Haha, is this Uzo's method of controlling people's hearts and increasing their favorability? I have completely seen through it.
But it seems that seeing through it is of no use... No, at least it can be used to remind big brother Gin not to let him fall into this not-so-clever trap.
Next to him, Inspector Megure felt happy, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
He scratched his head: "But the insiders in this villa...are they all dead?"
Jiang Xia: "But they once lived."
Inspector Megure: "..." Quite philosophical...
After two seconds, he finally understood, his face solemn: "You mean, they poisoned other dead people before they died, and those toxins took effect after they died?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "We can't rule out this possibility, and we heard something about the deceased in yesterday's commission..."
Halfway through his words, Jiang Xia paused for a moment, remembering that there were so many dead this time. He silently sighed at Conan's power in his heart, and then slightly adjusted his words: "Mrs. Haitang said that she suspected that her husband and her female assistant had an affair, and that both of them thought she was very troublesome."
Inspector Megure was shocked. His years of police experience made him realize that this was an important clue.
He looked at Editor Toda who might know about this and asked him, "Have you heard of this?"
Editor Toda hesitated and said, "I did hear Mrs. Haitang complain that her husband always wanted to divorce her. But Ms. Haitang is a woman with a strong sense of self-esteem. The more the other party wanted to do so, the more she refused to agree."
Inspector Megure suddenly realized: "So her husband murdered her in order to get a divorce? No wonder there were empty poisoned syringes hidden in Mr. Haitang's closet... But what about the deaths of the other two people?"
Suzuki Sonoko didn't know how the two men died, but she suddenly realized something. She slammed her palm with a hammer:
"No wonder after we talked to Mrs. Haitang yesterday, Mr. Haitang and the female assistant talked to Jiang Xia again, saying that Mrs. Haitang was in a bad mental state and always wanted to commit suicide - it turned out that they were paving the way for poisoning Mrs. Haitang! These two guys are really cruel and ruthless."
"It's very likely!" Officer Gao Mu also felt that he understood. "There is a syringe hidden in Mr. Haitang's closet, and the packaging bag of the box of chocolate biscuits that Mrs. Haitang ate was also covered with his fingerprints."
Sato Miwako nodded and got back to the point: "So how did the other two people die?"
Suzuki Sonoko and Officer Takagi, who are obsessed with being detectives: "..."
"Well..." Suzuki Sonoko recalled the detective tricks Jiang Xia had taught her before, and began to use her imagination. "As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The two of them poisoned Mrs. Haitang, but they didn't expect that an outsider had also targeted them - so after the two succeeded, they were unfortunately poisoned to death by that outsider!"
Inspector Megure: "Who is that outsider?"
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes moved and fell on Editor Toda.
Editor Toda: “?!”
"In the past, I encountered cases with three suspects and one victim. Although this situation is rare, we can learn from it." Suzuki Sonoko held up three fingers and then turned them over. "For example, if we apply it to the present, it is three victims and one suspect. There is only one suspect, so the murderer is obvious!"
Inspector Megure looked at her flipping her fingers back and forth. Although he didn't quite understand what she said, he always felt that there seemed to be some truth in it.
Beside him, Conan frowned, and suddenly felt the pain he had encountered with the stupid jewel thief not long ago: "Who stipulated that four people must be divided into two groups? Maybe there is a fifth person hiding outside. And even if the incident really happened only to the four of them, why must the murderer be the living one? - Jiang Xia was right just now. Although the deceased is dead now, they were able to move when they were alive. They can use poison, a tool with delayed killing function, to kill people after death!"
Vodka: “…” He actually called Uzo’s name directly. This kid is very arrogant.
Conan uttered a long string of protests, and was then punched back by Suzuki Sonoko.
Suzuki Sonoko got a little addicted to the affirmation from her brother Megure. She cleared her throat and said, "And Mr. Toda is not without motives. From his attitude towards Jiang Xia just now, we can see that he is a very dedicated editor! And mysteries like this one are a great help to his work content and publicity."
