Chapter 412: Belmode's Gaze
Hirogami disposed of the drinks and returned to the audience with them.
There were three people sitting side by side in one row of the auditorium, all of them companions who had come with her.
Mai Hirogami handed the four paper cups together to the boy sitting on the outermost side and asked him to help divide the drinks, while she walked to the bathroom herself.
Shiraishi kept an eye on where she was leaving, and then went to buy a Coke as well, adding ice to it and putting sugar bars and cream balls on the lid.
After that, Shiraishi sat behind one of the woman's companions, a man who wore glasses and was dressed as a "successful man".
The play soon begins, the auditorium gradually dimens, and the lights are concentrated on the stage.
Shiraishi took advantage of the successful man's hand to leave the Coke, exchanged the polished Coke in his hand with him, and wiped the fingerprints of the cup he obtained.
Originally, he wanted to get rid of it right away.
But there was a knock at the entrance door, and as soon as Kogoro and Conan, who were late, entered, they noticed Shiraishi sitting near the doorway, waved at him, and then ran to sit down next to him.
Shiraishi could only put the drink aside first, ready to find a pollution-free way to deal with it later.
If memory serves, this drink is poisonous, and eighty percent of it is the poison used by the murderers of this world, potassium cyanide.
Hongshang's poisoning method is more daring, and she injects the toxin into the center of the ice cube she brought.
Since Kohei Kamata, the target she wants to kill, likes to chew ice cubes after drinking a drink, and when he dies, the poison will not be detected in the paper cup.
In addition, she had placed a jar of poison on Kamata Kohei beforehand, and when the police came to investigate, the case should have been closed as suicide by taking poison.
And Hirogami Mai deliberately ordered the same drink as Kamata Kohei, Kamata Kohei chose one of the two, the drink seemed to be picked by himself, which could clear the suspicion of the person who bought the drink on his behalf, but in fact, no matter which cup Kamata Kohei chose, there must be poisonous ice cubes in his cup.
As for the poisonous ice cubes in the cup of the Hongshang dance dress, she planned to wait for the show to start, and when the light dimmed, she would hide the ice cubes in the hood in the back, and no one would think to check that kind of place.
It's a clever ploy, but it's also easy to crack.
For example, now, as soon as Shiraishi changed the drink, he killed her murderous plan this time.
But just change the drink, and the mission will definitely not be completed.
Shiraishi switches into a masked form, and in the dim light, he appears in the form of a cat under a stool.
It first walked to Kohei Kamata in the front seat, collected the evidence package that had been discovered a long time ago, and then temporarily put the evidence package in the system backpack, trying to avoid the stage side where Belmode was, and ran in the direction where Hongshang Mai was.
After all, Belmode is now wearing the skin of a new doctor, and he will not run to the women's toilet so far away, where he should be able to catch Hongshang's dance clothes, use human form, and say a few words to her.
……
The stage play opens quickly, and due to time constraints, like many fast-paced detectives, the foreshadowing ahead is not very long.
Several suspects went on stage and walked around the scene, briefly introduced the relationship between the characters, and then the picture went dark, and Xiao Hei came on the stage and killed people.
Immediately after, it was the turn of Maoriran and Suzuki Sonoko to take the stage.
Mao Lilan was a little nervous, she glanced at it and probably noticed her uneasiness, so the new Tomoaki Shinide, who had always stood next to her, was a little moved: "New doctor, let's go over first." ”
"Okay." Belmode smiled very gently, which matched the skin of the new Zhizhi at this time.
She watched with love in her eyes as Maolilan played.
The two girls passed by the stage hand in hand as if they were shopping, and when they walked halfway, they looked down and saw the corpse, let out two exclamations, and then turned their heads in a panic and ran, taking out their mobile phones as they ran, and making a gesture to call the police.
The two rushed all the way behind the curtain on the side, and the show ended.
Belmode watched as the two men who had just been separated for less than ten seconds rushed back to him, and the camera in his hand had just taken a picture.
She paused for a few seconds, put down her phone, and there was a little faint disbelief in her tone: "...... It's over? ”
Maoliran nodded, patting his chest and breathing a long sigh of relief.
She saw the camera in Belmode's hand and asked a little expectantly, "How's the acting?" ”
"Hmm...... It's good, it's true. Belmode put away the camera tastelessly, and as a world-famous movie star, he gave a pertinent evaluation, "starring in his true colors." ”
Maolilan remembered the shock he had received when he found the body before, and smiled with relief.
Belmode handed her a bottle of water.
Of course, in order not to collapse the image of a new doctor, she also prepared one for Suzuki Sonoko.
However, when I handed it over, I found that the person was missing.
Belmode recalled, remembering that the girl had just gone out of the side hallway, and did not know where she had gone.
Maolilan quickly noticed the unfinished bottle of water in the new doctor's hand.
Seeing that he was observing the surroundings, it seemed that he was looking for Suzuki Sonoko, Mao Lilan reminded him: "Sonoko should be looking for Shi......raishi" Halfway through the sentence, she remembered that the new doctor didn't seem to know Shiraishi, and changed her words, "I'm going to find a friend who came to see the show." ”
- Before the show, Sonoko Suzuki muttered in her ear that she saw Shiraishi coming. Although Mao Lilan searched for a long time in the dim hall and couldn't find where Shiraishi was, the garden said that if he saw it, he should have really seen it.
"Friends?" Belmode asked, but her attention was on the "white" that Mao Lilan hadn't finished, and a name immediately appeared in her mind - Ritsuki Shiraishi.
Belmode lifted a little of the curtain from the edge of the stage and looked offstage.
When a group of people sit still, it is difficult to distinguish in a dimly lit environment.
But Sonoko Suzuki had just walked out of the corridor and ran to the side of the audience, which was very conspicuous, and soon, Belmode followed her and saw a person leaning back in a chair.
While Maolilan unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank the drink, she turned her back to her and took out a small monocular, glanced at her eyes, and recognized that the person was indeed Shiraishi.
…… But how could Ritsuki Shiraishi appear here at this time?!
Belmode's face was slightly gloomy, and she returned to the curtain, took out her phone, and pressed it a few times.
Several pieces of real-time surveillance footage appear on the screen.
She clicked on one of them, and the camera showed the café of Shiraishi's house, and the room was peaceful.
Through the glass door, Shiraishi could be seen walking to the door, looking out into the street, and then he returned to the counter, said a few words to the clerk behind the counter, whose face was blocked by the edge of the door, and returned to the room.
This was supposed to be a real-time footage, and Shiraishi was still at home......
…… No, he seemed to have seen this scene at the doordoor once before.
Belmode pursed her lips and played back the footage at double speed.
