Chapter 268 Miss Hongshang, You Are the Murderer

"Inspector Megure,"

He quickly reported to Inspector Megure.

"We found no traces of toxic substances in the deceased's cup."

"Not only that, we did not find any toxic substances in the cups of the four people."

No toxic substances!

At this moment, these words were echoing in the hearts of Inspector Megure and everyone else.

"Okay, I see."

Officer Megure said in a deep voice,

"Since no poisonous substances were found in the deceased's cup, it is sufficient to prove that no one poisoned him."

"So, I'm sorry, Mr. Kamata, it was definitely suicide."

Just as Inspector Megure made his final conclusion and everyone's faces turned different, Hattori Heiji's voice rang out.

"No, Officer Megure, this is a murder case."

"Mr. Kamata didn't commit suicide!"

Hattori Heiji's words immediately caused a rebuttal from Maori Kogoro.

"Hey, hey, hey, detective boy from Osaka, this is not a detective game."

"Think about it carefully. There is no poison in Mr. Kamata's cup. Unless he swallowed the poison himself, he would not be poisoned."

"And if he swallowed the poison himself, wouldn't that be suicide?!"

Kogoro Mori's words made everyone nod their heads.

Yes, judging from the situation at the scene, it was only possible that Urata Kohei swallowed the poison himself. And if one swallows poison himself, isn't that suicide?

However, Hattori Heiji smiled and shook his head.

"Not necessarily."

"It is possible that Mr. Kamata swallowed the poison without knowing it."

Unaware of the situation?

"Yes, it is a situation where I am not aware of it."

As he spoke, Hattori Heiji turned around and asked,

"Right, Song-ge?"

But when he turned around, he couldn't see the white pine tree.

"Eh? Where's Song-ge?"

Hattori Heiji was a little confused, as he was right next to him just now.

How come when I turned around, Brother Song was nowhere to be seen?

"I am here."

Just when Hattori Heiji was trying to look for it, Hakuba Matsu came over from the direction of the toilet with a small wallet in his hand.

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound, and just by looking at Bai Masong's appearance, Officer Megure knew that he might have found something.

So, Inspector Megure asked happily,

"Brother Bai Ma, where are you going..."

"I'm going to look for clues."

Bai Masong replied calmly.

"So, Brother Bai Ma, what do you think of this case?"

Inspector Megure continued to ask carefully.

After hearing what Hattori Heiji said, he was no longer sure about the nature of the case.

After all, Hattori Heiji is a very capable high school detective, while Inspector Megure is a well-known supporting actor in the Metropolitan Police Department. There is still a big gap between them.

"Like Hattori, I believe this was a case of murder by poisoning."

Bai Masong gave his conclusion in a calm tone.

He actually discovered the murderer's method not long ago.

And he had identified the murderer while listening to their testimonies just now.

As soon as he discovered the method and identified the murderer, he thought about looking for evidence and clues.

However, at that time he was a little afraid that Kudo Shinichi would jump out when he saw the case, so he warned him specifically and then looked for clues.

Now, we have clues, and the evidence is most likely still with that person, so we can start.

The sooner it ends, the less risk Kudo Shinichi will be exposed.

"Hey, hey, hey, Bai Ma, are you sure?"

Although Kogoro Mori believed in Hakuba Matsu's reasoning, he still had some hesitations.

"I am sure."

Bai Masong said lightly,

"Besides, I have already identified the murderer who poisoned me."

"Brother Bai Ma, please tell me who the murderer is?"

Officer Megure asked impatiently.

"The murderer who poisoned her is Miss Hong Shang Mai."

Bai Masong stared at Hong Shang Wuyi with a gaze as sharp as a torch, and slowly said her name.

what? !

Everyone was greatly surprised when they heard the sound.

The person they thought was the least likely suspect, Mai Hongo, turned out to be the murderer.

Only Sato Miwako, who had heard of Bai Masong's "science" method of solving cases before, understood it a little at this moment.

According to science, the less suspicious a suspect is, the more suspicious he becomes.

Well, it's that abstract.

Hong Shang Wuyi heard Bai Ma Song pointing at her, her body trembled, and she said to herself,

"Officer, you are wrong."

"Think about it, I'm not the one who makes drinks, nor do I directly hand over drinks. I don't have any deep hatred with Kamata, so why would I kill him?"

Listening to Hong Shang Wuyi's words, everyone silently agreed in their hearts.

Yes, she didn't have the opportunity to poison directly, and she and Urata Kohei didn't seem to have any deep hatred.

However, Bai Masong shook his head.

"I don't know about the hatred between you two."

"But, this poison must have been administered by you."

Seeing Baimasong so sure, Hongshang Wuyi still wanted to refute, but Baimasong did not give her a chance.

He just continued,

"Let me analyze it for you."

"First, there are two suspects who had direct access to the deceased, Mr. Mitani Yota and Ms. Noda Yume."

"Although the two of them had direct contact, there was one word in their testimonies, that is, they both said that they and the other party did not open the cup lid."

"Obviously, you can't poison the cup without opening the lid."

"So, either they are not the murderers, or they are in collusion with each other."

"However, the two of them did not know that the iced coffee was replaced with iced cola before the alliance, which shows that they did not open the lid of the cup, rather than colluding with each other."

"So, neither of them could be the murderer."

Bai Masong's analysis was well-reasoned and made Inspector Megure and others nod their heads repeatedly.

Yota Mitani and Yumemi Noda were also glad that they were cleared of suspicion.

After talking about the two of them, Bai Basong looked at Ninagawa Ayako again.

"As for Ninagawa Ayako-san, that's even more impossible."

"Let's not talk about how she can be sure which cup of iced coffee will be drunk by Mr. Kamata. And if she poisons randomly, who knows if Miss Hongjo Mai will be poisoned first, causing Mr. Kamata not to drink it."

"The fact that she switched her iced coffee for an iced Coke alone doesn't make her the murderer."

"Because her switching behavior will cause Mr. Kamata to react in two ways."

"The first is not to switch, and the second is to switch."

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