Chapter 17 The essence is a tragedy after all
"Police Department, the inspection results show that the one mixed with lemon tea is sodium hydroxide." Sumi Mi said to Meguro.
"Then, she drank that..." Megu carefully glanced at Matsumoto.
"Strange, something seems to be floating in the lemon tea." Conan pointed to the lemon tea on the ground next to Chengmi.
"That's a capsule, a capsule that has not completely melted yet." Matsuda leaned against the wall and said, "If the murderer puts sodium hydroxide into the capsule and then poisons it, then people who have come to this room have suspicions."
"Is that true?" Meguchi turned to the people in the room and said, "We cannot leave until the investigation is over."
"What? Am I suspicious too?" The groom Takasugi was a little dissatisfied.
"Of course." Megu replied toughly, and then said to Sumimi: "Leave the capsules to the inspection class."
"Hey, don't you count this old man? He has been to the bride's room even after he was killed." Conan pointed to Matsumoto and said.
"Matsumoto's management officer is of course suspicious, but we believe that he will not leave this room until the murderer is found." Matsuda walked to the stool: "Whose camera belongs to? Can we see what's inside?"
"By the way, we put the camera in and ran out!" Yuanzi said happily: "There may be a murderer who hurts the teacher inside."
"Great." Megu picked up the camera and walked towards the TV in the room.
But Matsumoto looked at Matsuda suspiciously. The camera matter should have been discovered long ago. In order not to allow me to admit in public that I was suspected of murdering my daughter, I just mentioned it.
Is it to not want to hurt a father's heart again? But I must have placed me in the suspect, hum, someone with different opinions. Matsumoto stood behind Matsuda and stared at the TV. However, his expression seemed a little relaxed than before, not solemn. Matsuda Hatsuta, perhaps he is really a good policeman.
Matsuda frowned and looked at the camera's experience. Was it the lemon tea bought by Ms. Matsumoto's good friend Ichimi? Then there was only one opportunity for her to poison, which was when she inserted the straw. The second person to come into contact with the lemon tea was Matsumoto's management officer. There was only a brief contact on the video, so there should be no chance of poisoning.
The third one who came in, Mei Miyagi once turned around with lemon tea. In the end, it was the groom Takasugi, who had also come into contact with lemon tea. Matsuda scratched his head in distress. It was really troublesome, his head was too big. The best friend who was stolen from his boyfriend, his father who was not satisfied with his son-in-law, and his student who was suspected of admiring him was so complicated.
Forget it, don't think about those useless ones anymore. Matsuda rubbed his temples, grabbed the remote control, and began to watch the video attentively.
This? Is this!? What did Matsuda see? Frozen the video, and then turned it back and read it carefully.
"Police Department, has the report been released?" Matsuda asked suddenly.
"What?" Megu asked in confusion.
"That can of lemon tea and capsules," Matsuda replied.
"Hey, have you found something?" Conan hid behind Matsuda and pulled the corner of his clothes.
"The disguised person will be recorded by the video recorder ingenious manner, even if it is only for that moment." Matsuda said quietly: "Although it is boring, you can stand by your own mind and watch it a few more times and you will find unusual things."
Do you grasp the real scene of that moment? Conan recalled the scene when he watched the video just now. Am I more impetuous? Are I impatient?
"Meguro Police Department, the result is coming out." The person from the forensics class came over and reported: "It takes fifteen minutes for the capsule shell to melt."
"That is to say, the poison was already in the jar fifteen minutes before the bride fell." Megu looked through his police manual: "The incident in which Xiaolan called an ambulance was 1:46."
"The poisoning incident should be around 1:30,000." Matsuda interrupted: "If the time is accurate, then the one who enters this room at around 1:30,000 should be the management officer of Matsumoto."
"What!?" Megu said in surprise.
"There is nothing to be surprised about, it's just theoretically." Matsuda said indifferently.
"Theory?" Umeguchi said with a chuckling, "If the police officer was not suspicious, then it would not be the groom and I who appeared behind me would be the murderers."
"Of course there is this possibility." Matsuda crossed over to him and looked at the groom.
"Then tell me, how do we shorten the time for the capsules to melt?" Mei Gong asked angrily.
"If you want to determine the poisoning time of one and a half years, there must be a prerequisite. That is the murderer..." Matsuda stared at the groom and said word by word: "It is to put sodium hydroxide in a complete capsule."
"Brother Matsuda, what does it mean?" Megu asked.
"If you melt half of the capsule first and put it in the beverage can with sodium hydroxide, you can do it even after 1:30,000." Matsuda said: "And you will be washed away first."
"Do you have any evidence?" Matsumoto asked.
"There won't be any fingerprints of the management officer on the toxic beverage can." Matsuda turned to ask Sumi from the forensic class: "Isn't that wrong?"
"That's right." Sumimi replied: "Not only does not have the fingerprints of the Matsumoto management officer, but the fingerprints of this Mr. Umemiya are not on it."
"What? Impossible!" Matsumoto and Umemiya said in surprise.
"Nothing is impossible." Matsuda turned on the TV and played the video again, but it started after Umemiya left.
"What kind of evidence is this!" Megu looked at Matsuda suspiciously.
"Police Department, didn't you see it?" Matsuda freezes two images: "The label on the beverage can has the opposite direction. At that time, Miss Ichimi must have bought two cans of lemon tea."
"Yes, I have another can of it." Yuanzi replied.
"Then where is the can you drink now?" Matsuda asked.
"Well when I went out..." Yuanzi recalled the scene at that time: "Ah! I put it on the table at that time."
"Can you say it!" Meguchi looked carefully at the freeze-framed picture of the TV: "At that time, Sayuri took Yuanzi's drink by mistake? And the poisonous can of drink was also the one in Yuanzi's!?"
"Yes, then the only people who can poison are the groom and Sonoko." Matsuda said: "If Sonoko poisons, then the bride will not fall down after everyone has left."
"Why!" Matsumoto rushed to Takasugi to catch him: "Why do you want to kill my daughter!"
"Because she is your daughter!" Takasugi pushed away Matsumoto: "Do you still remember! Twenty years ago, the car you were chasing prisoners suddenly rushed over and knocked down my mother. At that time, my mother was still alive. If she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately, there would be hope, but you... fifteen minutes later, my mother swallowed her last breath on the side of the road. I have never forgotten your cold and ruthless face."
"Is it true?" Megu asked Matsumoto softly.
"Ah, I was anxious to chase people at that time, and I didn't notice anyone under the car." Matsuda closed his eyes in pain: "I only realized that there was an accident afterwards. When I went to find them, I had moved."
"I was adopted by the Takasugi family as an orphan, and then I met a girl with Ichimi seven years ago. When I learned that she was your daughter, my heart was burning with flames of revenge." Takasugi said with gritted teeth.
"Why don't you come for me? Why do you hurt my daughter?!" Matsumoto said in pain, his tone full of reluctance and depression. Of course, the mistakes he made were retribution on his daughter, and his anger could not be vented to the murderer. This has nothing to do with the law or the profession. It is called moral things that restrain Matsumoto cannot rush up and punch him, and press all the pain in his heart. Nothing else, but only for his dead mother, the innocent victim.
"If you die, how could you taste the pain of losing your closest relative?" Takasugi said: "That stupid woman didn't know that I approached her just for revenge. From what I saw, she just took a fancy to the property of Takasugi family."
"Pa" Sayuri's best friend, Takasugi's ex-girlfriend Ichimi rushed over and slapped Takasugi: "You are the one who knows nothing! Sayuri knows everything, including the accident twenty years ago."
"How is it possible!? Why did she marry me?" Takasugi couldn't believe this fact.
"Don't you know when you see Lemon Tea? You are the first love Sayuri has been caring for for twenty years!" Ichimi cried and said, "Sayuri has been worried about how to face you after she agreed to your proposal. She didn't expect that you were such a person!"
"Don't think you're doing it perfectly." Matsuda suddenly interrupted: "That kind of poisoning at close range is hard to hide."
"Did Sayuri know it's poisonous?" Takasugi couldn't believe this.
"Even if a newlywed couple, someone will not be able to kiss you impatiently when someone pushes the door in." Matsuda lowered his head, and no one could see his expression: "I don't know what the grudges were twenty years ago, but I know one thing. Takasugi Toshihiko is not worthy of Matsumoto Kosai."
"Agency officer!" A police officer ran in: "The hospital called just now, which made Qianjin's operation end and she was out of danger!!"
"That's great!!" The people in the room cheered and hugged each other.
Takasugi lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his tears-stained face.
"If..." Matsuda walked past Takasugi and said, "If you still have feelings for her, then try to be a man worthy of her, and then compensate her for it for the rest of your life."
Sato walked to the parking lot and saw Matsuda leaning against his fd and smoking: "Matsuda, hasn't the matter been resolved successfully?"
When Matsuda heard Sato's voice, he pinched off the cigarette in his hand first before looking up: "Solved solution? Is this tragedy? Who will make up for the harm the bride suffered? The pain of life!"
Sato gently punched Matsuda and joked deliberately: "Okay, you are actually thinking about other people's bride."
"How dare I?" Matsuda begs for mercy immediately: "Sato, please send me home."
"The mistakes made inadvertently may cause harm to yourself in the future." Matsuda sat in the passenger seat, looking at the crowd passing through the window and suddenly sighed: "It's really hard to be a profession of police!"
"What's wrong?" Sato looked at the road ahead and replied to Matsuda: "So sentimental? It's because of the hard work that we need to do it."
ps: I plan to say something, but the book reviews are basically updated, so I'd better flash it.
