Chapter 50: The Love of Lemon Tea
"It's too much! I actually poisoned the teacher's favorite lemon tea! β
"Yes! If I catch the murderer, I must teach him a good lesson! β
"Lemon tea, ......"
"What? Is there anything Jun Yanjun wants to sigh about? Do you and Sayuri-sensei have any other stories about lemon tea? After seeing that Toshihiko Takasugi beside him was touched by the chat between Sonoko and Xiaolan, Junji Umenomiya, who had no good impression of this bastard boy who robbed his teacher, couldn't help but be sarcastic.
"Ahh Not really! Sayuri loved lemon tea before she met me, and all I remember is another playmate from my childhood! Every time I watched Sayuri drink that drink before, I always couldn't help but think of a girl who was very fond of me when I was a child, and that girl was very happy to drink the lemon tea I gave her every time, and I still ...... that cute look It's a pity that I don't even know her name until now, and now that Sayuri has happened again, I don't think I'll ever want to see lemon tea again! β
"Could it be that this person is the boy in the secret that Sayuri-sensei secretly shared with me before? It can't be such a coincidence, right? Wait, but if it's just such a coincidence! Sayuri-sensei's motive to cover up his crime for him is there, but what about his motive for killing Sayuri-sensei? So what could it be? β
Just as Conan lowered his head and pondered this latest clue he had gotten, the forensic officer who was sent by Yuichi to do the appraisal also came back with the evidence, "Report Officer Kudo, the appraisal results have come out!" β
"Oh? It's very efficient! After a meaningful look at the smiling forensic policeman, Yuichi stopped teasing him and motioned for him to start reporting.
"First of all, the capsule found by this child, assuming that the capsule is completely put into lemon tea, it will take 15~16 minutes to dissolve it until the contents are released. Then there is the lemon tea can provided by Officer Kudo, which is indeed filled with sodium hydroxide, and strangely! The fingerprints on this are not Matsumoto Police! And the fingerprints of Kazumi Takenaka and Junji Umemiya, who were suspected, are also not there. Instead, it was Miss Sayuri Matsumoto and Toshihiko Takasugi and an unfamiliar fingerprint on it, so I suspect that the unfamiliar fingerprint ......"
"That's it! It's my thing! Go and sort out the evidence! After waving his hand and sending away the forensic personnel who also wanted to solve the case and make meritorious contributions, Yuichi, who didn't listen to his nonsense, also lowered his head and pondered.
It's impossible, I just watched the video before! That pot of lemon tea was indeed made by so many people from Kazumi Takenaka to Toshihiko Takasugi, why did they leave only Sayuri and Takasugi Toshihiko and an unfamiliar fingerprint, unless......
Thinking of this, Yuichi's eyes suddenly lit up, and after calling the forensic department officer who had a lot of meritorious ambition in his heart over and commanding a few words, Yuichi stared at Takasugi Toshihiko and sneered.
A few minutes later, after returning from the unhappy Yuanzi pushing the door, the forensic staff who followed her also watched Yuichi walk in with admiration on his face, and whispered in his ear.
"Really? If that's the case, the murderer can only be him! Bastard! Actually killed his fiancΓ©e! This kind of scum doesn't clean him up, it's really a nest in his heart! However, at the moment, it is still Matsumoto Police that is more uncomfortable, right? Thinking of the appearance of wanting to speak when Matsumoto Police came in to see Sayuri before, he suddenly felt that maybe Matsumoto Police didn't know anything, Yuichi suddenly had other ideas, but no matter what he thought, the results of the investigation still had to be reported to his boss.
After Yuichi finished reporting the results of his investigation, Yuichi didn't expect it, and the angry Matsumoto pushed the door of the bridal lounge open, and lifted Toshihiko Takahashi, who was still there to reminisce about the sad past.
"Bastard! I entrusted you with my most beloved daughter, but you poisoned him! Boy, do you really think that if you are the young master of the Takasugi family, I won't dare to clean you up? Don't think I don't know your past, after all, you're just the adopted son of the Takasugi family! Since you dare to do such a thing, then you must be prepared to bear the consequences of doing such a thing, even the Takasugi family will not be able to save you! β
"Hahaha! Oh, yes! I'm just a stray dog taken in by the Takasugi family, and as a mid-level official of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, it's not difficult for you to investigate this, but why did I become this poor lost dog, do you understand? Matsumoto Kiyomasa! You cold-blooded demon, you don't deserve that cherry blossom badge on your chest at all, yes! Sayuri is poisoned by me, and I just want you to taste the pain I experienced 20 years ago! β
"20 years ago?"
"That's right! 20 years ago! Are you really a noble person who forgets things, or have you done so many evil things that you can't remember which case I was a victim of? Maybe in your mind, this is an accident, and it has long been gone, right? β
"How is that possible? I've always felt guilty about that, and I wasn't sure about it before! I didn't expect you to be the little boy I met when I caught that serial murderer? β
"Guilt? Hahaha! Can guilt bring my mother back to life? If you had taken my mother to the hospital in a police car, she wouldn't have died of despair! It's all bastard cops like you who only have murderers and credit in their eyes. β
"I'm not for merit, that guy has already killed several people, and if I don't catch him again, I don't know how many people will be killed by him!"
"So you sacrificed my mother, didn't you? You callous bastard! My mother struggled in pain for thirty minutes before she was completely out of breath, if you drove her to the hospital...... From that moment on, I vowed that one day I would let you experience this kind of sadness that no one else could understand, and God would let me punish you police scum! Your daughter actually met me through my girlfriend, do you think this is providence? Sayuri is so stupid, no! Maybe she's not stupid, she's just too smart, I just gave up Yimei to propose to her, and she actually betrayed her best friend and promised me, this kind of woman! Stain stain! That's right, too! After all, I'm a rich man, as long as I agree to my proposal, the future will not be ......."
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! β
"Toshihiko Takasugi, the way you look now really disgusts me, and now I feel worthless for Sayuri, do you really think Sayuri doesn't know anything? In fact, it's you who really don't know anything! Just your ridiculous hatred from 20 years ago? Sayuri already knew! β
"Impossible! If she knew, how could she have agreed to my proposal? Doesn't she know my hatred for his father? Covering the swollen right side of his face that was suddenly swollen by Kazumi Takenaka, Toshihiko Takasugi, who didn't care about his own speech, roared in disbelief.
"Don't you understand? So Sayuri, who likes to drink lemon tea, is your unforgettable first love in the past 20 years! Until yesterday, she was still trying to solve the misunderstanding between you and her father, but she didn't expect ......"
"So that's why Miss Sayuri willingly drank that jar of lemon tea with ingredients? What a stupid woman who gets carried away by love! β
"What? You mean, Sayuri already knew about it when I poisoned it? Hearing Yuichi's sudden opening, Toshihiko Takasugi didn't care about what Kazumi Takenaka said, and asked with a face full of disbelief.
"Of course! Otherwise, do you think sodium hydroxide is some clever poison? It's just that you, a boy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, is so naΓ―ve! Okay, what do you think or feel, let's talk about it when we go to the Metropolitan Police Department! Master Takasugi, the Metropolitan Police Department's deluxe private room has been prepared for you, shall we go? Yuichi, who didn't have a good impression of this guy who was full of middle two breath, handcuffed him who was still in a trance after nodding his head from Matsumoto's police nod.
