Thanks to Ye Gengyi's usual personality, Haibara Ai and Dr. A Li not only did not find it strange that he came back to do research midway, but they were very accustomed to it.
Had lunch together.
Ye Gengyi brought coffee to the basement and opened the surveillance camera of Miwa Hotel on his laptop.
The preset remote port will automatically close after 12 hours without external intervention and detection.
In fact, it's not that it can't last longer, but it's easy for an interested person to detect clues from the trend of network traffic and equipment overload and lag. He doesn't intend to leave any loopholes in such a casual thing.
…
It's approaching evening.
Ye Gengyi had dinner in advance and set off for Wakamatsu Kohei's mansion.
Speaking of which, since the location of the detective's armband coincided with the address, I didn't suspect that they went to other places, but...
Is that police car with its flashing red lights about to become an iconic landmark of 'The Detective Is Here'?
The magnetic field generated by the gathering of the God of Death, the Black Chicken and the God of Plague is indeed extremely terrifying...
Ye Gengyi sighed silently, while looking at the appearance of the house, he walked forward slowly.
This is a two-story villa in Western style.
The appearance is simple and exquisite. Compared with other houses in this neighborhood, you can clearly see that it is unique.
After passing through the iron threshold, Ye Gengyi walked along the gravel road to the villa door carved with modern patterns.
There was no doorbell visible on the wall.
Ye Gengyi tried to turn the handle, but the door was unlocked.
He simply walked in directly.
"..."
"The victim's name is Ikuro Wakamatsu, 25 years old. He is the son of Mr. Kohei Wakamatsu, the president of the design company who passed away in Karuizawa last month. Is that correct?"
Takagi Wataru's voice came from the room near the corridor.
At this time, there were five people, two men and three women, standing outside the door of that room.
Is this taking someone's son away?
Ye Geng walked over. With his height advantage, he could easily see the situation in the room.
Mumu Shisan looked at a piece of Baumkuchen on the cart's plate with a solemn expression:
"The question is when did the murderer poison it..."
"Although I don't know when it was, I seem to know where the poison is."
Conan's voice attracted the attention of Memu Shisan and Takagi Wataru, and they saw him pointing to a cup of black tea on the coffee table and saying:
"Look at the bottom of this cup of black tea. There is an object that looks like a capsule and is almost melted away."
"I think the murderer's process of committing the crime was to break the capsule that was prepared in advance, sprinkle the poison on the cake, and then when our attention was attracted by the corpse, throw the capsule into the cup of black tea. After all, once the capsule melts If you drop it, you won't be able to collect fingerprints." Hattori Heiji added from the side.
"So the person standing next to the black tea at that time was the murderer." Takagi Wataru said.
"Having said that, once you hear us shouting 'Don't get close to the corpse', everyone will unconsciously move closer to the coffee table, right? So... everyone who was in this room at that time had the opportunity to throw away the poison. Into this cup of black tea...huh?!"
Hattori Heiji turned to look at the door and noticed the familiar figure that suddenly appeared. After a moment of surprise, he blurted out:
"Brother Gengyi, when did you come?"
ah?
The five suspects followed the gaze and turned their heads.
Then they saw a young man wearing black clothes and a stern expression standing quietly behind them.
? ! ? !
He is very handsome, but this is too scary.
The five of them all gave way to their seats in front of the door with some surprise.
"After handling personal matters, I'll come over and take a look as promised..."
Ye Gengyi stepped into the room and said to a police officer who was searching the first class: "Police department, it has only been a few hours since the incident at Danni's restaurant. Is this another case?"
Mu Mu Thirteen: "..."
I will naturally come when I receive the alarm, and moreover, brother, these are my words!
After feeling the same, he suddenly realized that it seemed inappropriate to occasionally complain about detectives such as Ye Gengyi and Mouri Kogoro, who frequently encountered cases when they were together...
Because the problem is obviously not with brother Geng Yi!
Mumu Shisan felt very guilty and took the initiative to introduce Ye Gengyi's identity as an expert from the Technical Association to the five suspects.
Ye Gengyi followed Megure Thirteen's introduction, nodded slightly to a few people, and turned to ask Hattori Heiji:
"Listening to what you just said, did you not see the murder process at all?"
Before the murder, there was no power outage in the villa, and nothing unusual happened. It was really embarrassing for the murderer to kill someone so brazenly in front of him, the detective who was entrusted to investigate the case.
Hattori Heiji was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a few seconds, pointed at the five suspects and said with certainty:
"But I am certain that the murderer is among them!"
"But, it's not me!"
Among them, a middle-aged woman with curly hair explained in a panic: "I had never been close to the Baumkuchen at that time, and the cup of black tea you mentioned was originally meant for me to drink!"
Ye Geng looked at Hattori Heiji, who nodded slightly.
"Then who is cutting the Baumkuchen?" Megure Thirteen looked at the other four people.
"it's me."
A person wearing an apron who looked like she was working as a maid in the villa explained:
"I was the one who cut the cake, but I asked Miss Satake to help put it on the plate...I cut it into 8 equal parts and followed her instructions."
The Satake she mentioned was the third woman among the five suspects.
After hearing this, Mumu Thirteen also turned his attention to this female secretary who was wearing black-rimmed glasses and professional attire. She had a good figure and temperament.
"I suggested it because I wanted to share the cake among the five guests, my wife, Mr. Ikuro, and Chairman Shiina, who likes sweets, for a total of eight people."
Satake explained: "After all, Chairman Shiina brought the cake. If there are too many portions, the cake will become too small."
"That's it..."
Megure Thirteen continued to ask: "Chairman Shiina, did you come into contact with anyone else on the way here with this cake?"
Although the probability is very low, and there have been no similar cases recently, the police still need to consider the possibility of random poisoning by outsiders during the inquiry process.
Chairman Shiina pondered for a moment and looked at a man with a middle-parted hairstyle and an appearance somewhat similar to a fox:
"Because the late president and I both loved eating the Baumkuchen from that store, I would buy one every time I came here. The only difference between today and other times is that this time I took a company seat. Chief designer, Mr. Fujinami came with his car.”
