Deliberately dividing the non-poisoned cake, leaving the poisonous part to induce the hungry deceased to eat the poison on his own...
Hattori Heiji was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't know that before Ye Gengyi came to this conclusion, he had already used nanorobots to sample 4 of the 7 cakes. He pondered for a while and asked:
"But...Brother Gengyi, as you analyzed, only the piece of cake eaten by the deceased was poisonous, so wouldn't the probability of the murderer becoming 50 to 50?"
In other words, unless only the one eaten by the deceased was poisonous among the two remaining cakes in the dining car, the most suspected murderers are undoubtedly the maid and secretary.
"Is it low?"
Ye Gengyi looked at the black-skinned one, thinking that if the detective changed his profession, he would be able to become a better killer.
"Not really..."
Hattori Heiji scratched his hair: "If the deceased had not picked up the poisonous cake, the murderer could have waited for him to eat the second piece, or simply pretended to be slippery and knocked the poisonous cake to the ground..."
However, his assumption is equivalent to acknowledging that one of the remaining two pieces of cake is poisonous and the other is not.
Otherwise, if a murder occurs, even if they pretend to accidentally drop another cake on the ground, the police will turn the cake over for poison identification.
"Let's wait for the identification results first." Ye Gengyi said.
"Well... I hope I can find some new clues."
Hattori Heiji looked at the murder scene and noticed a certain detective boy standing in the distance, looking sideways this way from time to time:
"Ah...Brother Gengyi, I'll go over there and have a look."
He came to the corner where Conan was and lowered his voice:
"What's wrong, Kudo?"
"About the case...what did Brother Gengyi say?"
When Conan asked this question, he tried his best to hide his body behind Hattori Heiji - being kicked out of the murder scene once a day was enough. He didn't want others to solve the case inside, and he was in a daze outside.
"Brother Sarada suspects that it's the maid, Ms. Yonehara, and the secretary, Ms. Satake, who help cut and deliver cakes to everyone."
Hattori Heiji did not hide anything, and roughly recounted the content of his conversation with Ye Gengyi, and finally asked a little strangely:
"I thought you called me here because you discovered something. Since you are curious about Brother Gengyi's reasoning, why don't you just go over and listen?"
"I told you on the phone a while ago about the bomb incident at the Toto Football Stadium. Brother Genichi was very dissatisfied with me for 'following Kudo Shinichi's instructions' to defuse the bomb without authorization, so don't watch what you guys are talking about. They are so harmonious, and if it involves a case, if I get too close, I might be kicked out of the scene again..."
Conan looked depressed.
Although Kudo Shinichi is himself, and Ye Gengyi cannot be called a misunderstanding against him, it is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult to ease the relationship between the two.
After all, this is no longer Edogawa Conan's problem. He really can't figure out how to use Kudo Shinichi's identity in front of Ye Gengyi.
"..."
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes, covered his mouth with his hands, and suggested in a low voice:
"Look at you, it's better not to hide it. How about simply admitting your identity to Brother Gengyi?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Conan was shocked.
Kudo Shinichi's chuunibyou plus hemorrhoids, Edogawa Conan's bladder and anal sphincter, just one of them is already terrifying. If they were superimposed and merged into one person, would he still be able to survive in this society? ? !
"What's wrong with you?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a while.
"Ah...it's not...I..."
Conan took a deep breath, and his brain quickly organized the words:
"That...because...well, think about it, the reason why Brother Gengyi didn't see through my identity, apart from the fact that he compared his own life experience and thought a 7-year-old child could be so smart, was mainly because he didn't know I know there is a drug that can turn a person into a child after taking it.”
"Huh? So I didn't mean to tell him?" Hattori Heiji didn't think there was any conflict between the two things.
"Well……"
Conan choked and explained vaguely:
"But the problem is that once Brother Gengyi knows about this matter, he will definitely be able to associate it with Hui Yuan through clues. The things behind it are very complicated. This is no longer my business alone, so you must not talk too much. I know Yet?"
"is that so?"
Hattori Heiji raised his eyes and stared at the other person's expression.
"Of course..." Conan pretended to be calm.
"No, you must be hiding something from me." Hattori Heiji said firmly.
"without……"
Conan still wanted to defend, but Hattori Heiji interrupted: "Is it related to the female high school detective?"
"Huh?" Conan's expression suddenly became exciting.
"I knew it," Hattori Heiji said angrily: "Did you investigate something again and then deliberately hide it from me?"
Is this what this guy is thinking? It really shocked me...
Conan sweated and quickly followed the topic and said perfunctorily:
"There are some, but I can't be sure yet. Even if I say it, there is no evidence. I will tell you when I investigate more clearly, okay?"
"Huh, let's talk about it then," Hattori Heiji raised his chin, "And next time you tell me something like this directly, hesitantly... your expression can't be hidden from me, a high school detective from Kansai."
"Yes..." Conan was speechless.
Sometimes he really doubted whether Hattori Heiji had a bad taste or not, and always brought up the secret of exposing his identity as Kudo Shinichi.
…
The search of the five suspects was quickly concluded.
The police did not find anything suspicious on them.
While waiting for the identification results, everyone came to Wakamatsu Serika's study.
Ye Gengyi did not follow, but came to the kitchen with the maid accompanied by a police officer.
Things in the kitchen are neatly arranged.
Ye Gengyi looked around and then motioned to the police officer to open the refrigerator.
A few bottles of water, a few cartons of milk, eggs and some sauces that needed to be refrigerated after opening... As expected, there was no other food to fill the stomach except milk.
The maid was making black tea when she heard the sound and looked over in confusion.
"gentlemen?"
"Who usually cooks?" Ye Gengyi asked.
"It's me." The maid put down the kettle in her hand.
"Isn't the time fixed? Or does the deceased only complain that he is hungry today?" Ye Gengyi's eyes fell on the chopping board next to the stove.
"No," the maid shook her head: "When I was preparing to cook, I found that I ran out of soy sauce, and it took me some time to go out to buy it."
"These ingredients are quite generous," Ye Gengyi said.
"Well, because Miss Satake said that in addition to Mr. Fujinami and Mr. Shiina, there are several guests who are coming to visit today, so I washed these dishes in advance and prepared to make oden," the maid said.
