623. Not a choice, but a proof

"I" Mori Kogoro was about to answer, but suddenly he felt that something was not quite right.

No, I had just arrived at the scene and had just seen the corpse on the ground.

Witnesses, investigators, and witnesses have not yet been investigated, so isn't it a bit abrupt to ask me who the murderer is?

Mori Kogoro gave Takuya Sono a confused look, didn't he want me to guess one with the intuition of a detective?

There are four people in the screenwriting conference room of "Detective Twilight", including the dead.

Suicide is ruled out first.

Then the remaining three are Ryoko Inoue, who is the producer of "Detective Twilight", who belongs to the production department of Nikuri TV.

Akira Sakuma, one of the veteran screenwriters of "Detective Twilight", is the screenwriter of the TV series "Twilight" from the beginning to the present, just like the deceased Yagami Ryoji.

Finally, there is Koda Dofu, the new screenwriter of "Twilight".

Although he is a newcomer to "Twilight", he has also joined the screenwriting team for two years.

In the past two years, Koda Doff's scripts have also appeared on TV screens and have been widely acclaimed.

Mori Kogoro stared at the faces of the three of them and looked at them carefully.

Well. She was invited by producer Ryoko Inoue, and this beautiful lady doesn't look like a murderer at first glance.

Then there is the rookie screenwriter Kada Dufu, this kid looks weak at first glance, like a shy "0".

Kogoro Maori immediately excluded him.

According to the elimination law, after all suspects who are suspected but not murderers are eliminated, the remaining suspects must be murderers.

"Ahem," Mori Kogoro gestured to Takuya Sono with a dry cough.

When Takuya Somo looked at Mori Kogoro, he noticed that Mori Kogoro gave him a look.

Is Mr. Mori Mr. Saku's murderer? ’

Zong Takuya nodded imperceptibly: "Then the suspicion of this Mr. Saku can be greatly reduced." ’

Gross Kogoro in an ordinary state is worthy of being the guiding light at the scene of the crime, even if the investigation has not yet begun, this sleeping detective can accurately find the innocent at the scene.

According to the investigation at the scene, the deceased Yagami Jeanji died of poison after drinking the coffee in the cup.

When the identification class did not arrive, it was temporarily determined that the source of the poison was the cup of coffee.

"So who's making this cup of coffee?" Zong Takuya put on white gloves and picked up the coffee on the table and looked at it.

There is no special mark on the coffee cup, and the cup is a paper cup purchased by the daily sales TV station.

The saucers of the four paper cups are also the same, so there is no special way for the deceased to choose poisonous coffee.

"It's a screenwriter Kada, and since screenwriter Koda joined the screenwriting team, the work of preparing coffee has always been done by screenwriter Koda."

Ryoko Inoue replied.

Zong Takuya looked at the young screenwriter who looked harmless to humans and animals: "When Screenwriter Koda was making coffee, did he let others handle it?" ”

"No, it's not a particularly complicated job, so there's no need to bother other people." Koda Douff replied very calmly.

There is one of them.

Zong Takuya thought about it for a while, and then thought of an accurate adjective - fearless.

That's right, it's a feeling of fearlessness.

"And who distributes these coffees?" Zong Takuya didn't dwell on Koda Dofu, and turned his head to ask another question.

The veteran screenwriter Saku replied, "The first cup of coffee was handed to Miss Inoue by Kada, and then he remembered that Miss Inoue likes to put creamer when she drinks coffee."

So I left the conference room to get creamer and drink sugar.

I handed him the coffee for the screenwriter Yagami.

Uh."

"I just took a cup and pushed the rest of the coffee to the screenwriter Yagami."

Saku felt that he needed to go into detail, otherwise he would be suspected of being a murderer.

But Saku suddenly noticed that the more he said that the detective looked at him, the more strange it became.

Ahh

It seems that the suspicion is getting bigger and bigger!

'No, this Saku screenwriter can't be a murderer.

It could not even be an accomplice to the murderer. ’

Saku's words made Zong Takuya rule him out of suspicion, first of all, there was no conflict between him and the deceased at work.

Since the broadcast of "Twilight", for so many years, the two screenwriters of Saku and Yagami have maintained a one-person, one-week rotation of scripts.

Even if Koda joins the screenwriting team, it will only be accepted once in a few weeks or even a month or two.

According to Ryoko Inoue, Saku and Yagami had a good relationship in private, and often went to an izakaya to drink together after work.

With neither grudges nor entanglements of interests, Saku has no reason to risk his life to kill Yagami Jeanji.

Yes, if Saku is really an accomplice to the murderer, if he wants to kill Yagami Rangji, he will have to risk his life.

Sotoya was so confident in his observation that he didn't even find the difference on the paper cup.

Then this paper cup is really the same.

At least to the naked eye.

If Saku is an accomplice to the murderer, it means that he needs to choose the non-poisonous one out of two cups of coffee, and then hand the poisonous one to Yagami.

Not to mention an accomplice, even if his own father commits a crime, Saku may not be able to do this.

As for the producer Ryoko Inoue, from beginning to end, Ryoko Inoue did not leave the conference room for a single step, and did not even touch the coffee.

His suspicion can basically be ruled out.

At present, the most suspicious and suspicious is the screenwriter Kada Dofu, who made these coffees with his own hands and brought them over himself.

So this time the murder is not a multiple-choice question, but a proof question?

Recalling the fearless look in Koda Doff just now, it seems that the "new screenwriter" of the "Twilight" production team is very confident in his own methods.

Zong Takuya thought for a moment and then took Ryoko Inoue aside: "Can you let me see the ratings report since screenwriter Kada joined the screenwriting team?" ”

"Absolutely." Ryoko Inoue nodded, then took out a stack of reports from her desk and handed it to Takuya So.

The drama "Detective Twilight" fits the ratings curve of a standard long-form TV series.

When it first aired, it was amazing, and the ratings were high.

However, as the broadcast time lengthened, the scripts of the two screenwriters gradually became routine, except for some die-hard fans, the rest of the passers-by basically chose other TV series.

Reflected in the report, the ratings curve is gradually declining.

Under normal circumstances, when the ratings of "Twilight" decline to a certain extent, the daily sales TV station will consider cutting the TV series in half, or speeding up the ending.

Then top it with another TV series.

However, all this changed with the addition of Koda Doff. (End of chapter)
