"Such a fast poison rate?"

Gao Yuan frowned slightly, puzzled, and then leaned in front of the deceased, sniffed the smell, and sure enough, he smelled a trace of bitter almonds-

Cyanide?

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at the unfinished can of coffee on the coffee table again-

Sure enough, if you want to further confirm the clues at the scene, it is best to let the police investigate at the scene......

However, such a performance is Yukino Izumo......

Although she doesn't think she is the murderer, her behavior of not wanting to contact the police before solving the case is still too suspicious.

So, after thinking for a while, Gao Yuan said to everyone:

"I can not call the police for now, but after all, I am only a detective, and I don't have the professional investigation skills of the police, so I can't guarantee that I will be able to solve this incident. If I can't unravel the truth about your agent's murder within an hour, I'll call the police anyway! ”

As he spoke, Takato looked at Izumo Yukino with a serious expression, and Izumo Yukino was silent for a moment, and finally clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and couldn't help nodding his head and agreeing with Takato's statement.

"Then, for this hour, all of you present should not leave this room or touch anything in the room......

Gao Yuan looked around at the people present, and couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally-

That is, after pushing the door open, no one made a loud noise to lure the others over, otherwise he would definitely not agree to Izumo Yukino's request.

But...... Izumo Yukino......

As soon as he thought of this name, Takato couldn't help but recall the case he encountered a few days ago, the deceased Mizutani Yukino, who was suspected to be a member of the organization, and her fake identity was the name "Yukino Izumo......

At the time, I thought it was just the same name and surname......

Thinking like this, Takato shook his head, shook the thought out for a moment, and then asked:

"Aren't you three people in the group? And that young lady named Chiyo, do you know where to go? And also...... Is it the can of coffee that your agent drinks, and he bought it himself? ”

Asked like this, I saw that Kashiwagi Shiyin thought for a moment, then lowered his head, and replied with some trepidation:

"I remember...... When I leave to look for you...... Chiyo is still in the room...... And this can of coffee...... I remember buying it from the vending machine in the hallway with Chiyo before we went on stage......"

"I bought it from a vending machine......

Hearing this, Takato couldn't help but think for a moment, then looked at Izumo Yukino and asked:

"Do you know where that Chiyo-chan is?"

According to Shiyin Kashiwagi, before she went out, the girl named "Chiyo" was still in the room, and she only left after Shiyin Kashiwagi went out, and Yukino Izumo never left the room, so she couldn't help asking.

"She looks like she's gone to the bathroom......"

Izumo Yukino lowered his head and replied in a very depressed mood.

"That's ......"

Gao Yuan pondered, and then looked at Shiyin Kashiwagi:

"Miss Kashiwagi, could you please go find Miss Chiyo?"

In this regard, Kashiwagi Shion looked at the Izumo Yukino who she was placating, thought for a while, then nodded, and then asked Tie Zhuyu to help take care of the emotionally lost Izumo Yukino-

"Zhuyu, I'm sorry for you."

After saying that, seeing that Tetsu Zhuyu nodded, and after coming up to support Izumo Yukino, Shiyin Kashiwagi went out to find Usami Chiyo.

In this regard, Gao Yuan first asked a few people present to stay aside and take a good rest, and then took out his mobile phone, used the function of the camera, and took pictures of the scene for the time being.

After doing this, Gao Yuan put away his mobile phone, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, and then began to pick up the can of coffee and carefully inspect it-

According to Yukino Izumo, the deceased died of poison after taking a sip of coffee, so it is very likely that the poison was dropped in the coffee.

However, according to Shiyin Kashiwagi, this can of coffee was purchased from a vending machine in the hallway, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to poison it in advance.

So in this way, there are only two possibilities -

First, the murderer knew that the deceased would drink this kind of coffee, so he prepared the coffee with poison in advance, and deliberately went to the vending machine to buy a can of the same coffee beforehand, but when it was handed over to the deceased, it was replaced with poisonous coffee.

The second is that after the deceased opened the coffee can, he poisoned the coffee that had been opened.

In the first case, there should be evidence of poisoning in the coffee – for example, pinholes or something — on the coffee can that should have been sealed.

But upon closer inspection, no similar holes were found in the coffee cans.

In this way, the poison should have been given after the deceased had opened the coffee can.

Thinking like this, after a while, Shiyin Kashiwagi hurriedly ran back to the lounge with Usami Chiyo, and Usami Chiyo burst into tears after seeing the agent who died on the sofa, and slumped on the ground and cried.

Seeing this, Shiyin Kashiwagi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

Gao Yuan put the coffee can back in its place and stepped forward to ask:

"You...... Is that Miss Chiyo? You bought that can of coffee? ”

Hearing this, Chiyo Usami, who couldn't stop crying, covered her mouth, nodded silently, and then continued to immerse herself in sadness, without any more reactions.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan looked at the three beautiful girls in the room who were wearing the same singing clothes and wearing sword-shaped brooches on their chests, and couldn't help but say:

"Now, in order to unravel the murder of your agent, I, as a detective, have a question for the three young ladies of your group...... But I need to ask them individually, can I? ”

In this regard, Usami Chiyo, Izumo Yukino, and Kashiwagi Shion couldn't help but nod, so Takato said to Tetsu Zhuyu on the side:

"In that case...... Miss Zhuyu, please watch them in the room, and don't let them touch anything on the scene. ”

After all, without the intervention of the police, the only person he trusted the most at the scene was Tie Zhuyu.

"Okay."

Nodding seriously, Tie Zhuyu responded.

So, Takato said to Kashiwagi Shiyin and them:

"You three young ladies, you come out alone...... Who comes first? ”

"I'll do it first."

In this regard, Kashiwagi Shiyin, whose emotions are relatively stable, said first.

So, Takato and Kashiwagi Shiyin walked out of the room first, came to the corridor, and began to inquire - fortunately, the location of this lounge is indeed remote enough, and there are no other artists' lounges on the side, as long as you keep a good voice, it shouldn't attract the attention of others-

"Miss Shion Kashiwagi, we'll make a long story short...... For your agent, can you introduce me to him first? I remember that you were here today because of the hard work of your manager, right? ”

Gao Yuan asked first.

In this regard, Kashiwagi Shiyin nodded and said seriously:

"Yes. Our agent, Shinji Sakano, took great care of us and often helped us get some performances, and we are very grateful to him. ”

"You ...... Isn't there any contradiction with him? ”

Takato asked.

"Contradictions? How could it be! ”

Hearing this, Kashiwagi Shiyin immediately retorted:

"Mr. Agent has been very nice to us and has taken great care of us both in life, in practice and at work. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have such a good opportunity, how could we have a conflict with him? ”

While listening to Kashiwagi Shion's answer, Takato also took out his mobile phone and began to search for information about "Shinji Sakano", wanting to see if he could find information about him on the Internet.

As a result, Gao Yuan soon found a blockbuster news -

Shinji Sakano, who seems to be the son of an entrepreneur, is a rich second generation!
