Chapter 155: Time Witness
ο»Ώ
Fujisawa pondered for a moment. Again, I realized what I meant: "Atropine is a colorless crystalline or white crystalline powder. Odorless. The taste is slightly bitter. It is highly soluble in water. This colorless and odorless pill. Once placed in drinking water. Or in food. It's hard for you to detect at all. Other words. That person could put the pill in Lin Youran's food. You can also put pills in Lin Youran's drink. Then tap into this eye drop. Increases the composition of belladonna. Then it led to Lin Youran's poisoning. And because belladonna doesn't have many ingredients. The side effects of the addition of eye drops are not very significant. So. Lin Youran couldn't cause poisoning on the spot. But because of nerve irritation. It's a gaffe. So he fell overboard. In other words. If someone really wants to track it down. Lin Youran also fell into the water and died. It wasn't a poisoning death. β
"Good. You're already a bit of a private detective. I continued to lead. Now we can roughly know what kind of poison Lin Youran has been in. From what route of poisoning. Other words. We can narrow down the suspects. From the surveillance and from the description of the previous captain. We can see that. Lin Youran rarely walked around since he got on the boat. The food and drink she touched. It can only be obtained from the restaurant. Other words. It is likely that Lin Youran poisoned the restaurant. And the poisoner. Most likely working in the ship's restaurant. And it's an important point. Because the poisoner carries belladonna with him. So. The person who gave the poison must be very familiar with the effects of this type of drug. In other words. If there are people on board who are not specialized in pharmacology. The only answer isγγγγγγ β
"He would have taken these drugs himself." Fujisawa said excitedly. "Among the workers on the ship itself. The only woman who practiced medicine was the female doctor. If it weren't for the female doctor who poisoned Lin Youran. then it must be indicated. The one who poisoned Lin Youran. It is likely that you are taking these drugs yourself. The pharmacological effects of atropine are aimed at spasms and pain relief. So. We can imagine this. Among the restaurant staff. People who need to take this medication if they have a history of spasticity or have long-term limb pain. is the biggest suspect. β
βokγ Your analysis is completely unquestionable. So. What are you going to do now. β
Fujisawa said without hesitation: "Go find the captain." Then ask the crew about their medical history. β
"But. You're just excluding female doctors. β
"Uh. That's right. So are we going to check both ends? β
"Then the conversation you just had with the female doctor didn't have any other effect."
"Uh. Not really. At least I know Lin Youran's situation. β
"That's right. Why did the female doctor tell you about Lin Youran's situation. If she's the poisoner. Will she tell you some information that has been disguised and modified? So let's base our analysis on the clues provided by female physicians. Is it to be overturned from scratch. β
"it." Fujisawa was directly devastated by my words. "Big brother. You play with me. So much we analyzed together. It's all hypothesis at the end of the day. If the female physician is the poisoner. So the previous analysisγγγγγγγ Forehead... That's not right. β
Fujisawa's eyes finally lit up. He immediately understood what I meant: "Haha. Brother Xu. You're deliberately setting a trap for me. I can't think outside of my mind. You're actually trying to make me understand. There is almost no possibility that the female doctor was poisoned. Because let's say the information we are told by the female physician is false. Then our analysis based on false propositions is wrong. It's the so-called false proposition. Analyze later unless it is wrong. In order to be able to be negative and positive. Otherwise, it's all fake. And if the information given to us by the female physician is true. The analysis based on the true proposition is completely in line with the common sense of analysis. So. It is impossible for a female physician to expose herself. True proposition: If the proposition is true, then the conclusion must be true, such a proposition is called a true proposition false proposition: if the proposition is true, the conclusion is not valid, such a proposition is a wrong proposition, called a false proposition. This is the mathematical logic we have learned. So at the end of the day. Based on our current analytical logic. A female physician could not have been the poisoner. Unless Lin Youran fell into the water because of another situation. Then we need to recollect clues. β
"Good. It looks like you haven't fully returned what you learned to the teacher. Now our analysis is based on clues provided by female physicians. So. Eliminate the distractions of female physicians. We just need to identify the problems of the crew. If there is no problem with the crew. We will turn around and look for the suspicion of female doctors. This is the correct mode of case solving analysis. β
"Wow wow. Brother Xu. I see you've been sullen these days. I didn't expect you to analyze the facts of the case so badly. No, you're a cop. Wrong. Ha ha. Now these days. The police didn't analyze the case like this. β
"What do I do. I'll tell you when you find out what's really happening. Now you have the clue. Don't hurry up yet. β
After getting my encouragement. Fujisawa is even more confident. He hurriedly ran towards the captain's quarters. Because. He felt. He's very close to the answer.
Look at his excited expression all the way. I seem to see me as I was. For the mystery that was the first one I solved. I was so excited. So much so that they keep showing off. Before. Happiness comes so simply. It's that simple. A little bit of fun keeps me coming back for more. But now. No matter how much joy there is. It seems like you're going to have something squeezing your celebratory space. People are growing. But the mind is imprisoned.
Find the captain again. We'll break it all down. And it is emphasized. The poisoner was the one who had a history of pain or spasms among the restaurant staff.
The captain listened. I was very surprised. He was sure again and again: "Your analysis is correct. β
"That's not true. Just find that person and confront him face to face. Now the cruise ship is already on its way back. And we're nearing the finish line. Once shored. There will be more opportunities and ways for the murderer to cover up. Find him again when the time comes. I'm afraid it will be more difficult. So. There's never been a better time. β
Be persuaded by me. The captain finally decided. Take us to the man. And according to him. Among the restaurant staff. Two people had a significant history of pain.
The two of them are. Zou Yu, the kitchen assistant chef in the restaurant. and Xie Chun, the bartender of the restaurant and bar.
And in general. People who work on cruise ships. For patients with pain. or arthropathy. Patients with a history of spasticity have special requirements. It is difficult for such people to work on the ship for a long time. So. Before that. I specifically asked why the two men were able to come to work on the ship.
The captain's reply was: "Xie Chun is a well-known bartender in the Blue Mountain Scenic Area. It is generally true that it is a bartender for customers in scenic bars. Occasionally, I go out to sea with a cruise ship. Bartending for customers on cruise ships. Of course. This is basically a company-based arrangement. Or his own physical condition. As far as I know, at the moment. Xie Chun has been taking painkillers for a long time. His condition was somewhat relieved. β
"What painkillers did he take." Fujisawa hurriedly asked.
"I don't know that."
I covered my mouth. It's really unbearable to laugh at Fujisawa. There are so many kinds of painkillers. The captain had to know about it.
As for Zou Yu. The captain's introduction is. This guy is the nephew of the ship's chef. It's a relational household. Because this chef has always been popular in the company. So for this person who has a history of pain. Everyone is also taking care of everyone. After all, the salary package on a cruise ship is good. Zou Yu if he changed to another place. Nor will you find this high salary. And it's not tiring work.
Fujisawa said: "Actually. If now we pass on the information of the two to the police. Let them focus on the relationship between these two people and Lin Youran. You might be able to find a clue right away. β
"It's just a scenario based on a normal mindset. But you have to take into account the possibility of buying a murderer. So. Even if you ask the police to check the information of the two now. It is also likely that they will not find out the connection with Lin Youran. β
"Uh. It's better for you to come. Fujisawa has realized. I'm definitely not an ordinary person. He was extremely confident from before. Now it's completely following my mindset.
The three of us didn't have to wait long. The two men were finally found.
Zou Yu was really wearing the white coat of the chef. Looks emaciated. But it's ruddy. Good complexion. And Xie Chun is dressed up very coquettishly. After all, made a mohican hairstyle. It was also deliberately dyed golden. And it's also very cool in terms of dress.
The captain signaled that both had arrived. Here's what to do.
I looked at Fujisawa. Because. I'd like to hear how this guy thinks. He took a deep breath. No answer to my question right now. You have to be cautious. Because he whispered to me. Sure I'm definitely a professional. So. He didn't want to make a big fool of himself.
"You two. It should be said at the time of the incident. Where are you? What are you doing. β
Fortunately, his detectives watched a lot. So. The question he asked. Indeed, I want to ask too.
The time when Lin Youran fell into the water was about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zou Yu first denied that he was the one who poisoned him: "Captain." They don't understand me. Don't you know me? They even said that I was poisoned. It's a joke. At that point in time. Of course I was in the restaurant. β
"Who can testify."
"We are a small cruise ship. At that time, the restaurant was no longer a normal dining time. Naturally, there are fewer staff. I was alone in the storage room to clean up. Of course, no one proved it for me. β
Fujisawa asked, "No one will prove it for you." You say it for granted. β
The captain said, "With all due respect. Our small cruise ship has a small restaurant staff. Not at mealtime. It is true that only one person will be arranged for the storage room to pack things. There is no way to prove it, and it is understandable. β
Zou Yu said excitedly: "I heard it." Don't wronged me. I still have to work. β
"Uh. All right. What about you. Fujisawa asked Xie Chun.
Xie Chun shrugged his shoulders disdainfully and said, "I'm a bar bartender." That point. There are also guests drinking in the bar. I'm bartending to them. If you want to prove. I can even find that guest to prove it for me. β
"A witness who has time. A witness who has time. Isn't that Zou Yu the most suspicious. Fujisawa blurted out as a matter of course.
