Chapter 243: The Fourth Man Who Suddenly Appeared
"Ms. Noda, Mr. Mitani, I see that your information shows that they all work at Rice Flower General Hospital! You usually have a lot of contact, right? Can you tell me about Kohei Kamata's daily situation? ”
"Ploughing? Even though we both graduated from here.,And we both spent time in the theater club at the time.,And working in the same place.,Every year, we also make an appointment to come to the school festival today to see the show! But usually in the hospital we don't talk much! After all, the departments we serve are different, and there are few times when we can meet them during work, so we don't know much about what Gengping has to do with the hospital! ”
Yota Mitani, who heard Yuichi's inquiry, thought about it for a while, and replied cautiously.
"Isn't there anything wrong with him at all?"
Yuichi, who heard Yota Mitani's answer, continued to ask unwillingly. And Noda Mengmei, who was asked by him like this, seemed to think of something, and opened her mouth with some hesitation.
"If you want to talk about his recent situation, it seems that he has a recent doctrine to publish, I heard the dean mention it at the last academy meeting, and Gengping was very happy at that time, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in a few days!"
"Is that all?"
"That's all!"
"Alright! So Miss Dancer, why are you the only one when you buy drinks? It's inconvenient to take four drinks in one person, right? ”
Seeing that Yuichi couldn't ask anything from Kamata Kohei's usual relationship, he turned his head and began to ask about the suspicions on the scene again.
"Ahh This one! Because there are a lot of people watching the play, I'll let everyone take a seat first! After that, Kamata wanted to come and help me, but when he came, he suddenly returned to his seat with an ugly face, so in the end, I was the only one left! ”
"Ugly?"
"That's right!"
"Is it because you've met someone you don't want to see or don't want to meet?"
Just when Yuichi heard Hirogami Mai's answer, his face was full of doubts. A haircut-headed girl with round-rimmed glasses walked over.
"I guess the reason he left so quickly was because he saw me here at the time when he was selling, right?"
"You are? Students at Teidan High School? How? Do you know Kohei Kamata too? ”
"Hmmm! My name is Ayako Ninagawa! I'm a third-year student at Teidan High School, and as for why I met Kohei Kamata, it's because ......"
"Huh? Are you Miss Ayako? I didn't expect you to be a student at Didan High School too! ”
Just when Ayako Ninagawa and Yuichi introduced themselves, Yumemi Noda on the side immediately shouted excitedly after hearing her introduction.
"Miss Ayako? No wonder I think she looks familiar! ”
After hearing Mengmei's shout, the dance clothes on the side also seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized.
"What? Do you all know this Ninagawa-san? ”
Seeing their expressions, Yuichi immediately asked.
"Hmmm! Of course I know! Because she's the daughter of the director of our hospital! ”
"Oh? Is that so? Then the drinks of all four of you could be ......"
"It's not possible, but it's what I pretended!"
"I see, in other words, if someone puts potassium cyanate in Mr. Kamata's drink! This person must be one of the four of you, right? ”
Yuichi, who heard Ayako Ninagawa's answer, stared at the four people in front of him, thought about his speculation just now, and thought in a thoughtful whisper.
And when he heard him say this, Hongshang Wuyi suddenly became nervous.
"Wait...... Wait a minute! Mr. Officer, Kamata and I both ordered iced coffee, and if I poisoned him, I would definitely give him the coffee so that I wouldn't drink it by mistake. ”
"And what if you have poison in both glasses? If you don't drink it......"
Hearing her explanation, the Twilight Police Department stood aside and suddenly spoke.
"What are you kidding? I've drunk it all! ”
"And what if you poured all your drinks into the bathroom when you went to the bathroom?"
"Don't be funny! Didn't I say that? I went to the bathroom after handing over all the drinks to Mitsuya! By the time I got back, the play had already started, so I never left my seat since! ”
"Then I also said, I just brought the drink to everyone, and I didn't have time to poison it at all!"
Yota Mitani, who heard Hirogami defend herself, immediately joined the queue to prove that she was not the murderer, and Noda Yumemi, who saw them like this, also panicked, and immediately explained.
"Me too!"
"Then you should always open the lid after you get the drink to make sure that the drink inside is not your own, right? At this time, don't you have a chance to poison it? ”
Mori Kogoro, who heard their explanation, thought about it for a while and immediately asked.
And Yota Mitani, who heard him ask this, suddenly looked at Maori Kogoro who suddenly interjected in with a strange gaze, and then they said the reason why their eyes were so weird.
"That...... Mr! You don't have to open it to know! Because the lid says what kind of drink it is! And there will be honey and cream balls on the lid of the iced coffee, so ......"
"That'...... As long as you prepare the honey and cream balls mixed with poison in advance, and then mix them with the original package before handing them to Kamata Kohei, wouldn't you be able to kill him! ”
After being said to be a little embarrassed, Maori Kogoro coughed dryly, and he couldn't wipe off his detective's face, so he immediately put forward another clue of suspicion.
And seeing him like this, Noda Mengmei finally couldn't help but explode, when she was watching the play before, it was this obscene uncle who kept making trouble and ruining her mood to watch the play, and now her friend has an accident, and this guy is still here to doubt himself and others.
So with his new hatred and old hatred, Noda Yumemi choked with Maori Kogoro with the smell of gunpowder.
"Please! Uncle! Can you use your brain? If you do that, won't Kohei die as soon as he drinks a drink? But you see, Kohei almost drank all the drinks in his cup! That reasoning of yours doesn't work at all, okay? ”
Just when Mori Kogoro was choked by Noda Yumemi like this and was embarrassed in place, the forensic department officer who was checking Kohei Kamata next to him suddenly took something out of Kohei Kamata's pocket and stood up.
"Report to the Kudo Police Department! In the pocket of the deceased, we found an unused box of cream balls and honey boxes, which after comparison, should be the same packaging as the boxes of cream balls and honey carried by the iced coffee sold here today. ”
"Oh? Haven't used cream balls with honey? Miss Noda, Mr. Mitani and Miss Hirosaki, do you usually drink iced coffee with cream balls and honey? Yuichi, who heard the report of the forensic department, immediately asked a few people beside him. And the answers of several people made him even more puzzled.
"Of course! How can you drink such bitter iced coffee without adding this? ”
"Huh? Then why didn't he add it this time? ”
"Because his drink isn't iced coffee at all, it's coke!"
"Huh? Coke? Miss Ayako, why is that? ”
Yuichi, who heard Ayako Ninagawa suddenly interject on the side, was even more confused about the case this time.
