The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 269 Ice Cube

"If she didn't switch it, if she poisoned the first drink, she wouldn't be sure to poison Mr. Kamata, but if she didn't poison him, she wouldn't be sure that Mr. Kamata would come back to change the drink."

"In short, if Ninagawa Ayako wanted to poison someone, there would be too many uncertainties, which is inconsistent with the mentality of wanting to kill someone."

"So, it's impossible for her to do that."

After Bai Masong finished speaking, he looked at Hong Shang Wuyi.

"So, even if we use the process of elimination, the murderer must be you, Miss Hong Shang Mai."

After Bai Masong finished his analysis, everyone fell into deep thought.

Yes, that seems to be the case.

Inspector Megure was a little dissatisfied with himself at this time. It was just a simple process of elimination, and it didn't sound difficult.

But why can’t I use it?

If Hakuba Matsu knew what Inspector Megure was thinking, he would definitely smile and tell Inspector Megure that it was okay.

Just as Bai Masong once said, reasoning and solving cases are like solving math problems.

Perhaps, when you see the answer, you will think it is very simple, but when the next time the question is asked in a different way and you are asked to write it down, you still won’t be able to do it.

That's logic, that's reasoning.

Sometimes, it really requires talent.

At this time, everyone was silent, and Hong Shang Wuyi was also silent.

She really didn't expect that her plan, which she thought was perfect, would be unravelled by Bai Masong based on the testimony and existing evidence, like peeling off the silk threads of an onion.

This really made her suddenly feel powerless.

However, after a moment, she regained her fighting spirit.

She hasn't lost yet, and this guy may not know her methods.

It may not be possible to find evidence.

Seeing that Hong Shang Wuyi seemed to think that she was good enough again, Bai Masong couldn't help but sneer.

"Ms. Hong Shang, you don't think I can't see through your tricks, do you?"

"To be honest, your method is actually very easy to see."

"I believe that even elementary school students in our country can guess it."

Bai Masong's words made Hong Shang Wuyi very angry.

She said with an angry look on her face,

"First of all, officer, I am not a murderer, and I don't have any murder methods."

"Secondly, I think this case is very cleverly designed. I don't think our primary school students can figure out the trick."

What Mai Hongo said was recognized by Inspector Megure and others.

Of course, this does not mean that they agree that she is not the murderer. After Hakumasatsu's analysis, Inspector Megure and others have already confirmed that Hongue Mai is the murderer.

They just felt that Hong Shang Wuyi's technique must be quite clever indeed.

After all, they can't admit that they are not as good as the primary school students in their own country, right?

"is it?"

Bai Masong listened to Hong Shang Wuyi's words, looked at the expressions of the crowd, and asked a soul-searching question:

"Then let us ask."

Hearing what Hakubamatsu said, Hattori Heiji and Haibara Ai, who had already dressed up as Conan, suddenly had a bad premonition.

As expected, Hakuba Song looked at Haibara Ai who was dressed as Conan and said,

"Conan, can you tell them what the key to this technique is?"

"Hey, Song-ge!"

Hattori Heiji hurriedly wanted to speak up to remind Hakuba Matsu.

The current Conan is not the original Conan. The original Conan was okay, but the current Haibara Ai may not be okay!

However, Bai Masong remained calm.

He still believes in Xiao Ai in this regard.

Sure enough, I heard Haibara Ai wearing a mask and speaking in Conan's voice,

"Ice."

"That's right,"

Bai Masong nodded with great satisfaction.

“The key is the ice.”

At this moment, he felt as if his child had made progress.

However, Hong Shang Wuyi's mood had already hit rock bottom as soon as the word "ice cube" came out.

She really didn't expect that the plan she had been planning for a long time would be seen through by an elementary school student.

At this moment, she really felt discouraged.

Bai Masong continued,

"If we want to discover this method, we can think in reverse."

"First, let's assume that Miss Hong Shang Mai is the murderer. Then, we will think about how she could make the deceased choose the poisoned cup between two cups of coffee, or two cups of Coke?"

"I thought about it and found that it was impossible. She couldn't make the deceased choose the poisoned cup."

"Then I know. She just needs to make both cups of coffee poisonous, so she doesn't have to choose."

Bai Masong's words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Brother Bai Ma, you are not mistaken!"

Officer Megure asked hurriedly,

"Ms. Hongue Mai ordered the same iced coffee as Mr. Kamata. If both cups were poisoned, wouldn't she also...?"

"Inspector Megure, have you ever heard a sentence?"

Bai Masong smiled softly at the doubts of Inspector Megure.

"That is, eliminate all the impossible, and what remains, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth."

"We have ruled out the possibility that Miss Hong Shang Mai would have made the deceased choose the poisoned cup, so no matter what the deceased chose, the drink in his hand would have been poisoned."

"However, at this time, we still don't know what method Miss Hong Shang Mai used."

"Well, at this time, we have to continue thinking."

"First of all, we know that Miss Hong Shang Mai must not want to die with the deceased, so she will definitely not drink the poisoned drink."

"And there's no way she could have poured the drink anywhere else."

"So, at this point, we can come to the conclusion that the drink is non-toxic."

When Bai Masong said this, Officer Megure was confused again.

"No, what do you mean, brother Bai Ma?"

Inspector Megure absolutely won't,

"Didn't you say earlier that both drinks were poisoned? Why are you saying now that the drinks are non-toxic?"

"Officer Megure, please wait."

Bai Masong stretched out his hand to calm Officer Megure's mood, and said lightly,

"A drink usually doesn't just contain one thing."

"Just like the pearls and milk tea in bubble tea, milk tea is for drinking and pearls are for eating."

"If there are ice cubes in iced coffee, do you think... will anyone eat the ice cubes?"

When Bai Masong said this, everyone understood.

The cola in the cup is non-toxic, but the ice cubes are poisonous.

The key is indeed, ice!
