14 How to choose a cup

At the booth, looking at the lifeless Yamahara Autumn Evening, the hideous expression she left on her face, Gao Yuan couldn't help frowning slightly.

Then I looked at the other audience who also drank champagne and were at a loss on stage, and found that they had no signs of poisoning, could it be that only Yamahara Akiyu's wine glass was poisonous?

Thinking like this, Takato looked at the mountain on the side. At this moment, the young man was also flustered, holding the empty tray in his hand, and looking at several people on the stage with innocent eyes, as if begging for shelter.

However, at that time, Yamahara Akiyu casually took a cup from the tray and drank it, how did she make her just choose the poisonous cup?

However, one thing is certain, the murderers should be among the people who are now on the booth!

Then he thought about it, and then turned his gaze back to Ms. Ako Ashii, who had just come out of the backstage - no, to be exact, this person in question.

It's just that there was a period of time between the time Yamahara drank the wine in autumn and the onset of poison, but in such a short period of time, what kind of poison was used?

Puzzled, Gao Yuan reached the broken glass, sniffed the scattered wine on the booth, and after carefully distinguishing it for a while, he smelled a faint, bitter almond-like smell - it was actually cyanide!

However, if it is cyanide, is the poison a little slow?

But since the wine scattered from Yamabara's Akiyu wine glass smelled of bitter almonds, it obviously meant that her wine glass was poisoned. And now the other spectators who drank champagne were not poisoned, and it seems that the wine they drank was not poisoned.

Regardless of the speed of the poison for the time being, how did the murderer get this cup of poisonous champagne just in time for Yamahara Akiyu?

"How? What did you find? ”

Seeing that the situation at the scene had been maintained, Yukiko walked to the edge of Takato and asked.

"Cyanide."

Gao Yuan said, "It's just, why is it only in this glass of wine?" ”

After listening to Takato's words, Yukiko roughly understood what was going on, looked under the booth, and then came to the front of the stage, discussed with several reporters with cameras, and borrowed a few cameras to shoot the previous scene.

Takato took the camera borrowed by Yukiko, operated the buttons on it, and immediately played the picture he wanted to see.

Oyama came to the booth with a glass of champagne on it. Yamahara took one of the cupsβ€”one slightly to the right in the middle, and the action was only for a second or two, without the appearance of careful selection.

I watched the shots from several other angles in a row, and they were all like this.

"I didn't even glance at it."

Gao Yuan said with a frown.

"I didn't choose at all."

Yukiko also said with some solemnity, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

"There are only two possibilities that can be thought of at the moment."

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Someone casually poisoned the champagne and killed people randomly, and Yamahara Qiuxi unfortunately chose that cup." Or maybe the murderer used some kind of tricks, and he was sure that Yamaharau would pick which cup to choose. ”

Soon, Officer Twilight arrives with officers and takes over the scene.

"Oh! Isn't this Ms. Kiko? And wise brothers. Why are you here? ”

Seeing the two of them at the scene, Takato and Yukiko asked in surprise.

"Ah, Officer Twilight, it's been a long time!"

Smiling, Arikiko greeted Officer Twilight.

"Since there's Kiko-sama here, then Yusaku?"

Officer Twilight said, looking around.

"Actually, this is the case, this time Yusaku didn't come for something, so I invited Xiao Takayuan to participate in this commission with me."

Yukiko explained.

"Entrustment? Can you elaborate on that? ”

After Officer Twilight finished speaking, Yukiko and Takato explained all the things of today to Officer Twilight.

After listening to the two men's accounts, Officer Twilight asked the officer to call Oyama over and ask him about the threatening letter.

Oyama's full name is Oyama Kei, because the scene of Yamahara Akiyu's death in front of his eyes just now was too shocking, so he had no reservations in the face of police questioning at the moment, and admitted the fact that he had sent a threatening letter to Yamahara Akiyu.

"Did you poison the champagne?"

Officer Twilight asked solemnly.

"Nope!"

A little flustered, Kei Oyama retorted fiercely, "I just followed Mr. Horiyosuke's arrangement and brought the champagne to the stage!" ”

"Then why are you sending threatening letters?"

Officer Twilight asked sternly.

"Because that woman has a disorderly private life! Not worthy of the endorsement of 'Fusha Painting'! ”

Faced with this question, Kei Oyama shouted loudly, startling several people present.

"Why do you say that? I haven't found any reports about it, have I? ”

Gao Yuan was a little puzzled by this.

"Because I've seen it! In the company, although I didn't see who that man was! But it's definitely true! ”

Kei Oyama said affirmatively.

At this time, the medical examiner had already done the most basic tests and informed Officer Twilight of the results.

After hearing this, Officer Twilight asked the officers to take Kei Oyama down first, and then looked at Takato and Yukiko.

"Just now, the medical examiner did the most basic examination of the deceased and confirmed that the deceased died of cyanide poisoning. The technical department also inspected the wine scattered in the deceased's wine glasses at the scene, and the cyanide composition was indeed detected, while cyanide was not detected in the rest of the wine glasses. It is believed that the deceased died as a result of drinking poisoned alcohol. ”

"So, the problem is still in the modus operandi."

Gao Yuan said when he heard such a result.

In that situation, no one on the scene could influence Miss Yamahara's choice and let her choose poisoned alcohol. So who, and what methods were used, to complete the poisoning?

"There's a technique called 'forced choice.'"

Yukiko said at this time, "It feels like my own choice, but in fact, I was induced by others. This is often used in magic. ”

"But in that case, who can give Miss Yamabara a psychological inducement?"

Gao Yuan shook his head, not agreeing with this statement.

"Or maybe there's something on the cup that would make Yamabara want to take the cup."

Yukiko thought about it and said another possibility, but it was also denied by Takato.

"In the footage taken by the reporter, there is no mark on the cup."

At this moment, the onlookers in the audience have already left a lot, but Masami Hirota and the girl with short brown hair are still at the scene.

Masami Hirota looked at the police at the scene and said with some concern: "Shiho, why don't we go back first." ”

"It's okay."

The girl held her right hand on the side of her face, her elbow propped up on her thigh, and she had an indifferent expression, "Just wait until the new 'Fusha Painting' new product is on sale." ”

"That's right."

Faced with the girl's answer, Masami Hirota couldn't say anything, "But it's rare to go out to play together, and you can actually encounter this kind of thing." ”

Masami Hirota said, looking at Takato and Yukiko on the booth.

"Speaking of which, those two people were in control of the situation from the beginning, are they also police officers?"

The girl didn't speak, looked at the two people talking to the police officer on the booth, looked at the man in the blue trench coat who was thinking, sighed, and thought to herself:

Are you really struggling with the problem of choosing a cup? But in my opinion, it's the poison time that makes people care more!
