When he entered Miss Oda's house, he checked the two cups of black tea on the coffee table and concluded that there was no ingredient in the tea.
It's just that, although Oda Mina had the forethought to pour out the black tea and replace it with a new cup, and carefully filled only half the cup to give the impression that she had drunk it, she could not be prepared for Shirai Yui's current shell. I have been a puppet master for who knows how long. After looking at the coffee table, I went to the sink, and then returned to the coffee table to do a comparison.
OK, there is a set of used teacups sitting in the sink. They should be the same set as the teacups on the coffee table. The patterns are very similar. Although the black tea in the teacups has been poured out, there is still unfinished water on the bottom of the teacups. Dissolved medicinal powder.
Seeing Oda Mina trying to refute, Shirai Yu ignored it and turned to look at Officer Sato, "Officer Sato, please go and put away the tea cup in the sink. This is important evidence."
"Ah...okay..." Officer Sato left.
Oda Mina swallowed the words that reached her throat, thought about it, and showed an ugly smile, "This only proves that I wanted to drug Yumi... It doesn't mean that I pushed Yumi down." After all, even Yumi herself said that her husband pushed her down, don’t you police officers even believe the victim’s own words?”
"No, of course we believe it." Shirai Yu raised his sunglasses and smiled gently, "It is precisely because I believe that I doubt you, Miss Oda."
"After all, the death message [husband] left by the deceased Yumi Inoue does not refer to her husband, Mr. Inoue, but to [two people]."
Everyone:? ! !
Everyone, including the Megu Police Department, looked surprised. The Megu Police Department quickly and skillfully said: "[Two people]? What does this mean?"
"This is Chinese, meaning two people." Shiraiji replied, "When I was at Inoue's house, I saw that there were many Chinese characters in the decorative paintings in the house. At that time, I was thinking, this family should You must be very interested in Chinese characters.”
Shiraiji said, looking sideways at Inoue Hiroki in the crowd, "But Mr. Inoue did not see any relevant books in his study. Instead, in the bedroom, on the bedside table, there was a copy of "Mastery of Chinese" .”
"Yes, yes, Yumi likes Chinese culture very much, and often learns Chinese characters. She also made a promise with me that when I take my annual break, we will travel to China together..." Inoue Hiroki felt guilty after being seen by Shirai Yui, and he couldn't speak. Very quietly.
"Ah...but Mrs. Inoue did write the word [husband]..."
"[Husband] is made up of [two] and [person]. The reason why Mrs. Inoue was written as [husband] was because she fell from upstairs and was unconscious, and she was still lying on her stomach, and her sight was There was a misalignment, which caused the two characters to overlap and form the character [husband].”
"So, the death message left by Inoue Yumi before she died is to remind us that the murderer should be two people. That is you."
"Oda Mina..."
"And Hiroki Inoue!"
…
There was a brief silence in the room.
I originally thought it was a choice between two, but it was actually both. This result was unexpected by everyone.
Oda Mina was holding a cigarette at the door and said nothing, while Inoue Hiroki in the room gritted his teeth and forced a smile, "You have misunderstood something, police officer, and there is no evidence for what you said..."
"Yumi and I are truly in love, how could we conspire with Mina to kill her..."
Yes, whether it is the neighbors or the photos placed in the house, there is no doubt that the three people have been very good friends since high school. Especially those photos that were placed in beautiful frames and placed in the most conspicuous place in Inoue's house.
In the photo, you can see that the faces of the three people have changed from childish to mature, and their clothes have changed from school uniforms to professional attire, from youthful to elegant. Everyone has experienced the baptism of time, but the friendship between the three has always been so firm. Unchanged.
It's just a pity. It's probably Inoue Yumi who put these photos who thought so. All the beauty between the three people is an illusion, played by Inoue Hiroki and Oda Mina to Inoue Yumi.
How pitiful.
Shiraiji slowly took out an evidence bag from his pocket.
Inside the transparent evidence bag is a silver pen with a gilded Roman pronunciation on the cap, which is the pronunciation of Hiroki.
"Ask a question, why is Mr. Inoue's pen under Miss Oda's sofa?"
"This...maybe I accidentally dropped it before..."
"Ask a question, why didn't Ms. Oda, who cleans her house every day, even the dust under the sofa, not find this pen?"
"When I was cleaning, I happened to forget under this sofa. What's the matter?" Oda Nami outside the door made random excuses.
"Question, under which sofa did I find this pen?" Shirai Yui suppressed the smile he had always had, and looked at Oda Mina with cold eyes.
In the living room, there were three sofas, two short and one long, surrounded by a coffee table on three sides. They stayed in place quietly. Megure Police Department and Officer Sato, as well as the nervous-looking Hiroki Inoue, and other police officers were scattered in the living room, together with Yui Shirai. , all looked at Oda Mina, waiting for her answer.
Oda Mina took her time and slowly exhaled the smoke from her mouth, "The short sofa on the left."
"Bah, bah—wrong answer." Shiraiji imitated the sound effect of a wrong answer in a quiz game, "The correct answer is, under the couch—"
"Ah, then I guess I happened to miss the entire sofa area when I was cleaning this morning. How careless I am~" Oda Mina smiled faintly.
"Shameless..." Officer Sato couldn't help but clenched his fists.
But Shirai Yui was not in a hurry, and had everything under control, "Ah, by the way... I'm sorry, I remembered wrongly, I think I found the pen under the coffee table. ... Miss Oda, you don't know how to clean the coffee table." , happened to be missed, right?”
Oda Mina took a deep breath and smiled sweetly, "Oh, that seems to be the case."
The Mu Mu Police Department couldn't bear it anymore. Do they really think this is playing a game? Are you cheating on me when you answer wrongly?
"Miss Oda, please think carefully. Did you really miss anything when you were cleaning today? Where did you miss it?"
"Answer well, Ms. Oda. It depends on this time whether you can get away with it." Shirai Yuya grinned at Oda Mina and went back provocatively.
Looking at the messy white curly hair and the black sunglasses, I really deserve a beating.
Oda Mina stared at Yu Shirai with a cold face, and was silent for a long time, and then she let out a long breath.
"This policeman must have found this pen under the sofa on the right." Oda Mina put the cigarette in her mouth and turned to look at the door, "After all, when moving Yumi, Hiroki was standing Over there.”
Inoue Hiroki was shocked: "Mina?!"
"No need to struggle, Hiroki, this policeman has seen everything. Even if the pen thing is explained, I will confess you."
