Wakamatsu family.

"So, who's cutting the baumkuchen?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, it's me," replied the lovely young maid anxiously, "but Miss Satake helped me put the cake on the plate, and it was also the ...... she said to cut the cake into 8 equal parts."

"8 equal portions?"

"5 guests, Mrs., Mr. Ikuro, and Director Shiina, who likes desserts the most, a total of 8 servings."

Miss Satake is a secretary to the president, Satake is good, with sassy short and medium hair, clerical glasses, and a professional outfit, she looks like a capable workplace elite.

When questioned by the police, Satake explained, "Baumkuchen was bought by the director, and if you divide it into more portions, it will be too small. ”

Satake's mouth is a middle-aged man with a big nose and a square face, squinting eyes, thick eyebrows, very imposing, and tonight he came to visit the house of the president who was killed with the chief designer of Wakamatsu Company, Junsheng Fujina.

"The deceased president and I both liked the baumkuchen at that store, so we buy them every time we visit," explains Director Shiina, "When I came with Fujinami today, I stopped by the shop......

Next to him, Hattori and Conan stared at the group at the scene, their brows furrowed.

Obviously, the prisoner killed someone right under his nose, but he couldn't catch the horse's feet......

Almost everyone has the opportunity to be poisoned, and the important thing is how to get the poisonous piece of the murdered president's son, Mr. Yuro.

In the end, there were two pieces left, and Mr. Yuro specially picked a piece that was farther away, and he couldn't be sure in advance.

What I know now is that the Wakamatsu family just ran out of soy sauce, and the maid went out to buy it and failed to cook in time to make Mr. Yurou very hungry, knowing that this stupid young master with a strong appetite was hungry, only the lady, the secretary Satake and the maid were hungry.

In addition, everyone in the family knows that the stupid young master likes to eat cakes with his hands......

Isn't it actually the cake that was poisoned?

Hattori rubbed his chin and thought.

Indeed, the capsules that were temporarily dissolved may have been dissolved only to confuse the investigation......

"So what?" Conan suddenly asked, "What did Joto say?" ”

"It's said that the tiles on the scene use a weird oblique effect, but in fact, each tile is the same color, so the prisoner should have swapped the location of the tiles, and after the forensic personnel checked it, they should be able to know the president's death message, but the problem is ......"

Hattori frowned, not quite understanding, "What does that guy from Joto mean when he says that the case may not be over?" That guy isn't here. ”

"I want to say that the murderer has some conspiracy."

Conan is still thinking about this case, if it is really just an exchange of tiles, there should be no problem in finding the death message, and then he will be able to know who the murderer is.

However, the method of poisoning the prisoner is still a problem, and it is still uncertain whether the prisoner in the two incidents is the same.

"The cup of black tea that precipitated the capsule after the poison reaction, and the content is very small, it should be thrown into the black tea after the poison is used up in order to destroy the evidence......

"But if only Mr. Yuro's cake is poisonous, how can the criminal make Mr. Yuro choose that piece, there is only a one-in-half probability......"

"There is another possibility," Conan said, looking up, "that the capsule in the black tea is just a disguise, and that Mr. Yuro had poison in his hands before. ”

Hattori straightened his hat, with a bright look in his eyes that longed for the truth: "I think so too, let's investigate again!" ”

In any case, they are definitely much more advantageous than Gao Cheng at the scene of the crime, and they can't waste this opportunity......

President Wakamatsu's study, since the president's death, has been the place where the wife of the interim president works, and when the police investigated, his wife always waited in the study with everyone, and even if others went out to cooperate with the investigation, his wife still stayed in the room to do her own work.

As the vice president of the company, Madame didn't seem to be so sad about the murder of her stepson, the stupid young master.

"As of the end of this month, the design commission is already full, and I still have such a thing as Ikuro......"

Mrs. Wakamatsu looked through the documents on the table and said to the female secretary, "It's not a good idea to wait, Miss Satake, can you show me the text design sent to this computer?" ”

"Ah, okay!" Secretary Satake hurriedly helped operate the office computer.

"Isn't that okay?" Director Shiina and the others followed to the computer to review the design documents.

"The client's requirements have been met."

On the computer, the font is arranged from large to small "Ruoren's wine", and Mrs. Wakamatsu is a little sour-eyed, and she hurriedly rubs the corners of her eyes with her hands.

"Vice President, does it matter?" The secretary asked worriedly.

"If it's eye strain," designer Fujiba said, taking out a box of eye drops, "Do you want to use my eye drops?" I just bought it and haven't used it yet. ”

Mrs. Wakamatsu happily took the eye drops: "Then borrow me to use them." ”

"Madame must be too tired to have so many things going on today......"

"yes."

At this time, the police came to call everyone to the living room at the scene of the crime, and Mrs. Wakamatsu asked, "Can I stay here?" I want to be alone for a while. ”

"This ......"

"The vice president is very tired, and she has been sitting at that time, and she has never been close to the baumkuchen that Mr. Yurou ate, so if you go to the living room to recreate the scene, you won't need her, right?"

Twilight was quite helpless, it was originally a voluntary on-site investigation, and there was indeed no reason to force Mrs. Wakamatsu to cooperate.

……

Karuizawa.

Gao Cheng looked at the photos of the scene sent by Hattori, and the eighth of the ring-shaped baumkuchen cake left in the tray, paused, and then found Yui Hara and asked for a case report to take a closer look.

Indeed, it was the maid who first found the president's body, and after calling Mrs. Wakamatsu to the scene, she called an ambulance and the police according to her instructions.

However, the maid did not seem to have entered the bathroom at all, and the only one who ever came close to the corpse was Mrs. Wakamatsu.

"Go to the study and call from the landline, sometimes the mobile phone will not have a signal here...... Ah, by the way, I'll go tell Ikuro that he should still be sleeping in his room...... I don't want anyone to see my husband like this, so don't let anyone else know......"

According to the maid's testimony, Mrs. Wakamatsu said so at the time.

When the maid returned to the bathroom after making the call, she saw Ikuro crying with her arm around the president's father, and it was at that time that the blood on the ground disappeared.

In other words, only Mrs. Wakamatsu and the president's son can do it, and Mrs. Wakamatsu is the most likely.

At that time, President Wakamatsu had only made the final changes to the bathroom tiles, and it was convenient to exchange locations on the spot, and it was difficult for the police to detect the problem.

At that time, several Shiina directors, including Mrs. Wakamatsu, were playing cards in the living room, because the president left everyone to say that there was something important to say later, and after waiting for about two hours, there was a perfect alibi.

The only possible perpetrator of the crime was the maid and the president's son, but because the president's wallet was missing, the murder weapon was not found, and traces of external invasion were found, the police continued to investigate according to the clue that an external person committed the crime.

It is worth noting that it is not only the bathroom in Osaka's hometown that will be remodeled, but also the Karuizawa villa will also be remodeled, but it will not be too long because of the on-site protection.

Gao Cheng put down the case report.

According to his personal speculation, the murderer of the president is likely to be the young master, and Mrs. Wakamatsu chose to cover it up.

In this case, the first case he came to the Conan world to handle was that Mrs. Wakamatsu and the president were not related by blood.

And now, when Hattori and they came to the door, the president's son was poisoned......

"Joto!" Yamato Dasuke shouted in a deep voice in the villa, "The president's death message has been found, it's the three English letters 'Son', and the murderer is his son!" ”

"Son?!"

Gao Cheng read the case materials again.

In this case, there are two possibilities for the case in Tokyo, one is vendetta, the other is an accomplice murder, or both.

Although there are still many details missing, he has roughly seen the truth.

"I know what the prisoner really wants." Gao Chengchao was still pondering Yamato and dared to help a few people and said.
