Chapter 3391 3403 [Graybara and Megure's Combination Punch] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Inspector Megure looked at him, then at the deceased, and then at Jiang Xia: "..."
That's the truth.
but……
"My reasoning was wrong." A police inspector smoothly retracted his previous words and turned to the non-official suspect with zero suspicion. "Brother Jiang Xia, what do you think?"
Officer Gao Mu heard another important point. He looked at the two miniature children in confusion: "You..." Why did you follow Jiang Xia to the bathroom? These two children looked quite smart, so it shouldn't be that serious.
Conan's face flushed under his stare, and he quickly said, "My coin rolled into the toilet, so I brought people in to help me look for it! Huiyuan is short, so it's convenient for her to find things on the ground. Brother Jiang Xia has a strong observation ability, so he will definitely be able to help me find the coin quickly... Anyway, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the case! Aren't you a policeman?"
"Oh, okay." Officer Takagi responded repeatedly at first, then felt something was wrong: "..." Wait, isn't this just discussing the case!
By the way, asking a detective of Jiang Xia's caliber to help you find a coin that rolled into the toilet along the crack in the floor...you, you are too extravagant!
While Officer Takagi was in shock, Conan quickly added, "The deceased uncle finished eating biscuits at his workstation, got up to go to the bathroom, and after leaving the bathroom, he picked up a hamburger and ate it, and then died of the poison.
"In that case, why not check the path from his workstation to the restroom? During that time, the deceased uncle's movements were limited to this small area, so the toxin must be in this area... This is what Brother Jiang Xia just told me!"
Inspector Megure looked around and was a little suspicious: Brother Jiang Xia didn't talk to you at all just now.
But seeing that Jiang Xia had no objection, and considering this was a murder scene, it was indeed necessary to find where the poison was...
He finally sighed and waved his hand: "Check!"
After a pause, he looked at the busy forensic officers, then at the other detectives, and said carefully, "Search me and the room as well to see if there's any container containing poison."
As soon as the above sentence was spoken, the police in the room became busy.
However, unlike ordinary crime scenes, this time, there was a hint of vitality in their busyness: with Jiang Xia here, at least this inspection will definitely find the murderer and will not be in vain!
…
After a while.
The police officers' efforts were in vain.
Officer Megure was slightly stunned as he listened to Officer Takagi's summary of the report: "Didn't find anything?"
"Yes," Officer Takagi said listlessly, "The bathroom, the corridor, the desk...anywhere he might have touched, no toxic reactions were detected."
Inspector Megure was about to sigh when he heard Jiang Xia ask beside him, "Where are the other places?"
"Huh?" Inspector Megure was stunned at first, then he understood: Yes, just because there may be nothing in the place that I touched, it doesn't mean that there is nothing everywhere!
Officer Takagi hesitated and said, "We detected a toxic reaction from the right side of the victim's suit trousers and the hole in his belt.
“In addition, a small amount of toxin was detected on the fingertips of the victim’s left hand, on his handkerchief, and on the wrapper of the hamburger he had eaten.
"However, the amount of toxin in these areas is very small. It's likely that the murderer didn't apply the poison there, but rather that the victim's hands were contaminated with the poison and then touched these areas, leaving traces."
Inspector Megure looked down at the corresponding parts of his body and tried to brainstorm: "Pants and belt... the poison got there because people had to take off their pants to go to the bathroom. In that case, the murderer must have gotten the poison somewhere before going to the bathroom."
He looked around, and when his eyes fell on the deceased's workstation, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Is it the deceased's coffee cup? The murderer must have smeared the poison on the handle of the cup, so that when the deceased held the biscuits in his right hand and drank the coffee with his left hand, his hand would be contaminated with the poison.
"Then he went to the bathroom and turned the doorknob with his right hand, which prevented the poison from getting into the toilet. In other words, the murderer is..."
He turned around abruptly, intending to imitate Jiang Xia and point at the criminal! ... But then he suddenly remembered that Jiang Xia didn't seem to like turning around when he pointed at the criminal.
The one who likes to do this seems to be his annoying Maori brother.
Mumu Police Department: "..."
He stopped turning around, stood still as if nothing had happened, and then continued, "In other words, the murderer is the one who brought the coffee—Mr. Imai!"
Mop Head: “?!”
Officer Gao Mu covered his face silently and whispered, "But Inspector, we checked the coffee cup and biscuit bag and didn't detect any toxic reaction.
"Also, the deceased's left hand was stained with the poison, but the poison on his pants was on the right side. If he had been holding up his pants with the stained hand, the poison on his pants should have been on the left side, right?"
Inspector Megure, who couldn't answer this question at all: "..."
However, as an experienced police captain, he didn't panic. He simply cleared his throat, skillfully turned to the person who could answer the question, and shouted with his eyes: Brother Jiang Xia!!
Fortunately, Brother Jiang Xia is as reliable as before.
He turned to the three suspects and asked, "Does your boss have any unusual habits?"
"Different from the usual habits?" The first person to speak up was the gossipy, turbaned office worker. He thought for a moment:
"If I had to say, it would be that he's exceptionally clean, and he's also a coffee expert."
"Clean?" Dr. Agasa couldn't help but mutter, "But wasn't your president poisoned to death because he ate the burger without washing his hands after using the restroom?"
"Well……"
The turbaned office worker scratched his head awkwardly. "I don't know what's wrong with him today. Usually, the first thing the president does after sitting down is to find some wet wipes and wipe his hands clean."
Mop Head added, "Besides, he has very high requirements for coffee. It took me a full 10 years to brew coffee that would satisfy him."
As Haibara Ai listened to this strange poisoning case, she thought of another possibility.
After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Has anyone been watching your company recently? For example, if you see a car with sun tint parked on the side of the road, or if there are any strange people around?"
"Well... probably not." The middle-parted man, who often went out to buy food for everyone, thought for a moment and shook his head. "Although we were broken into twice, nothing was stolen, and no one came to cause trouble."
Beside him, Inspector Megure heard this casual remark and felt like he had grasped something: "The house was broken into?"
Could it be... that the crime was committed by an outsider!
