It was only at the moment of his death that Higurashi realized that he wanted to kill him.
The severe pain from his internal organs told him that what he had just taken was not an ordinary health product at all, but an extremely poisonous medicine.
Looking at the water he kindly poured for himself on the table, Xiang Riguiren stretched out his hand with his last strength and knocked over the water glass.
…
"What do you two mean by this?" Yamamura Cao saw that Conan and Kuroki Jin were singing a double act and asked in confusion: "Hasn't the prisoner been found? It's Marui!"
"I told you I'm not..."
Conan glanced at Kuroki Jin's face and found that he had no intention of answering the police. He could only look around helplessly and caught Dr. Ari who was watching.
"Police Officer Yamamura." The doctor was forced to speak when he was not prepared. He was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat. "What if we assume Mr. Marui is not the murderer?"
"No?" Yamamura Cao scratched his head, and what he was thinking in his mind was completely different from what he asked.
I've met this fat doctor before. He seems to be someone who specializes in taking care of children. Is his reasoning reliable?
The doctor, who didn't know he was being questioned, continued: "Yes, if Mr. Marui is not the murderer, then the murderer must do two things when he commits the crime and arranges the scene."
"We detected sleeping drugs from the stomach of the first deceased, Ichikawa, which confirmed our previous speculation. Before the murderer entered Ichikawa's room, the two people in the room were drugged to sleep."
"According to the fact that there was no sleeping pill in the stomach of the second deceased, Xiangri, it can be seen that the sleeping pill was not put in a public place, which can rule out the possibility that the murderer gave the drug through dinner."
"So we infer that Ichikawa took the sleeping pills voluntarily, or it is possible that he did not know what the drugs he took were."
"Ms. Caita, does Ichikawa have the habit of taking medicine on weekdays?"
Caita Emi froze when her name was called, but when she saw everyone was looking at her, she could only grit her teeth and said: "We don't usually have this, but..."
"but?"
"Only when we were at night or something, he would take the medicine and force me to take it, and last night was no exception."
Understand, this drug is definitely not taken as a sleeping pill.
"According to the autopsy report, we did not detect any other drugs in the stomach of the deceased Ichikawa, which means that what you took at the time was sleeping pills."
"So Miss Caita, who gives you this kind of medicine on weekdays?"
Caita Emi didn't know who gave the medicine. Anyway, Ichikawa forced her to take it every time, but she didn't know where Ichikawa's medicine came from.
"If I ask Miss Caita to identify this drug among a bunch of drugs, can you recognize it?"
Caita Emi recalled: "That capsule is very special. It is yellow and white in color. I should be able to distinguish it."
Conan smiled slightly after hearing the description, but because he was hiding behind Dr. Ali, everyone could not see his expression.
"Mr. Kitani." Dr. Agasa almost shuddered at the sudden change of name, and quickly looked at Kitani Haruji, "I wonder if you can show everyone the medicine bottle in your backpack?"
Kitaniharaji pinched the strap of his backpack, his fingertips turning slightly white.
"Mr. Kitani, I'm sorry." Mouri Kogoro stepped forward, took the backpack from his hand, opened it and spread the medicine bottles all over the table.
He opened a bottle, and Caita Emi also came forward to identify it. When he opened a bottle and poured out the yellow-white capsules, Kitani clearly heard the sound of several people around him taking a breath of air.
"That's it!" Caita Emi looked back at Kitani's expressionless face in disbelief, "How could it be you..."
Ichikawa has always bullied Kitani, why would Kitani help him bring this medicine?
"Because of Xiangri." Dr. Ari said, "It was Xiangri who asked Kugu to bring this kind of medicine."
"So if the medicine in the capsule is replaced by sleeping pills or poison, Mr. Kitani should be the easiest one to start with."
Kitaniharaji turned his head and looked at Dr. Ari who was reasoning, with a faint smile on his fair face, "So?"
"It would be too much to say that I am the murderer of Ichikawa and Mugahi based on this."
"My backpack is just there, and anyone can change the drugs inside. Even if sleeping pills or even poison appear in my backpack, it is nothing compared to the most direct fingerprint evidence."
"Fingerprint evidence." Dr. Ali answered immediately, "Sometimes too much fingerprint evidence can actually be a kind of reverse evidence."
"Police Officer Yamacun, have the results of the on-site inspection been released?"
"This..." Yamamura Cao is a careless person.
"Come out." The police officer beside him quickly replied, "On the table in front of the sofa where the third victim was killed, we detected the fingerprints of everyone at the scene.
In addition to everyone's fingerprints on the edges of the table corners, only Ms. Caita's fingerprints were not detected on the water glasses and bowls and chopsticks placed on the table. "
Kitaniharaji's expression changed slightly.
"On the cup used by Mr. Kitani, in addition to Mr. Kitani's own fingerprints, we also detected Mr. Marui's fingerprints."
"I, I never touched Kugu's cup from beginning to end!" Isamu Marui said in a panic.
"Of course you haven't touched it." Dr. Agasa nodded to him. "As for why there are Mr. Marui's fingerprints on the cup, don't Mr. Kitani plan to explain it?"
"I have nothing to explain." Kitani Yuanji looked down at the ground, "If you want to explain, it should be Marui's explanation."
"Okay." Dr. Agasa nodded, "If it is an exception to say that Marui's fingerprints are on the cup, then how can we explain that there are so many things belonging to Mr. Kitani that have Marui's fingerprints on them?"
Yamamura So revealed the results of the forensic personnel, which included fingerprints collected on items in the entire hall. Among them, the bowls and chopsticks used by Kitani had Marui's fingerprints, and even the bedding was covered with his fingerprints.
On the contrary, there were very few fingerprints from Kugu himself.
"You and Marui are in the same mountaineering team, so you have ample opportunities to obtain his fingerprints." Dr. Agasa sighed slightly, "You have made fingerprint stickers, stuck them on your hands and committed three crimes, you will Leave Marui’s fingerprints at the scene instead of your own.”
"This is evidence to identify the murderer, but it is also the presence of fingerprints everywhere that tells us that the murderer is not Marui."
Dr. A Li looked at Kugu seriously, "Of course, these are not critical evidence at the moment. You also processed the fingerprint stickers in the end. But..."
"You killed three people in one night, do you really have no flaws at all?"
"Mr. Kitani, next we have to go to the police station to take notes. This house will also be sealed and investigated more thoroughly. Some of the scattered evidence you left inside, such as hair and sweat in rooms you have not entered, Evidence such as DNA will eventually be found..."
"Surrender yourself."
