Houdeng Minghui didn't turn a corner at all. He didn't expect that Kawakami had been laying the groundwork for a long time and finally said, "Speak with evidence."
Obviously, Houdeng Minghui does not understand Kawakamiji's routine. Beating around the bush can be more convincing than simply identifying the murderer, because the latter has too strong a personal motive.
With a few symbolically roundabout sentences, Kawakami Tsumugi got straight to the point, but his target became Miss Miho, who had been silent next to Houdeng Minghui:
"When I was on stage before, I noticed that Miss Meiho had been recording... I believe this video can prove my innocence."
Miss Miho, who was suddenly mentioned, raised her head in shock. She subconsciously covered her handbag and stammered: "Mr. Kawakami...I, I didn't..."
She didn't look like she had a guilty conscience.
"No video?"
If Tsumugi Kawakami picks up Miho,
"According to my companion's speculation, you should have been ordered not to take photos or videos when inviting Dr. Agasa to the stage. Did Miss Miho lie because she was afraid that she would be deducted from her salary or fired for disobeying the order?"
"I don't know what you are talking about, Mr. Kawakami." Miss Miho's voice became stronger this time.
"If you don't know, just don't know." Kawakami said lazily.
Kawakami noticed the way Miho looked at Houdeng Minghui. He thought for a few seconds and figured out several possible developments in his mind.
As for the video in Miss Miho's hands... To be honest, it has no impact on Kawakami. He just wanted to confirm his guess.
However, the police officer whose attention was attracted did not let go of the obviously problematic Miss Miho like Kawakami Tsumugi:
"Miho Ishikawa, did you really not take the opportunity to record the video? You know, hiding evidence privately will be punished..."
Miho Ishikawa did not have the mentality of turning right into black and white like Kawakami Tsumugi. After a while, he handed over his mobile phone under the threat of the police and found the previous video.
The video completely captured Mr. Araki's arrogance and domineering behavior on stage. After watching the video, the police officer looked a little ugly.
"It's obvious that Mr. Araki and I have never had any physical contact." Tsumugi Kawakami explained on the sidelines, "From this point of view, I should not be as suspected of committing the crime as Mr. Houdeng and others."
"That's not possible."
At this moment, a voice intervened in their conversation. It was Matsuda Jinpei, who had been led by Kawakami Tsumugi to play cards.
It was obvious that he was here to dismantle Kawakami Tsumugi.
"Why?" Kawakamiji turned around and asked with a fake smile.
The one who spoke was the little detective next to Matsuda Jinpei:
"According to our preliminary autopsy, Mr. Araki's belt was cut with a sharp blade, and then temporarily fixed by means such as electric magnets. This kind of magnet has magnetic force when it is powered on. After the power is turned off, it is no longer the same as an ordinary magnet. Difference. Therefore, it can be controlled remotely.
"In fact, the police have found magnetic beads on the stage."
Kawakami Tsumugi looked at Kudou Shinichi. On the little detective's face, there was a mixture of desire to find out the truth and guilt of eating everything out.
"Sounds very logical." Kawakami nodded slightly, "Using magnetic beads? It's a very subtle idea and seems to be a good invention."
The word "invention" seems to throw the blame on Dr. Agasa. Kudo Shinichi speculated on Kawakami's expression for half a second and wisely changed the topic:
"At the same time, Mr. Shinki Takashi should have died of poisoning. That kind of poison can paralyze muscles, cause respiratory failure and suffocate people to death. The way of poisoning is through a poisonous needle."
"Poison needle?" Kawakami raised an eyebrow, "Have you found the bleeding point, or is the poison needle itself on Mr. Shinki Takashi's body?"
Kawakami thought it was the latter, because the bleeding point was not that easy to find, and there were no professional forensic doctors at the scene. Poison needles are much easier to find than bleeding spots.
Although the winery has poisonous needles that are hard to detect and are as thin as the spines of a young cactus, ordinary criminals have no way to get them.
"The poisonous needle was found." Kudo Shinichi replied.
"But why didn't the perpetrator take away the poisonous needle?"
Matsuda Jinpei continued,
"There are three possibilities: the murderer deliberately left it at the scene; the murderer was unable to remove it; or the poisonous needle needed to remain on the deceased to maintain its toxicity."
"If it's the third case, the first crime scene is meaningless, right?" Kawakami said.
In fact, there is a high probability that it is not the third case. Kawakami is quite familiar with the performance of various poisons.
A common drug that can paralyze muscles and cause respiratory failure is saxitoxin, one of the most toxic marine toxins known.
This poison takes more than 20 minutes to take orally, but if blood is seen, only one injection is enough. Therefore, by leaving the needle at the scene, it is most likely that the murderer did not have the conditions to take away the poisonous needle.
A slightly less serious one might be to frame the blame. In Tokyo, saxitoxin is not as common as cyanide, and its source is relatively easy to trace. Drugs whose origins can be easily traced are perfect for framing the blame.
Matsuda Jinpei nodded:
"However, it is not ruled out that it is the first two. But even if the poisonous needle remained on Xin Mulong for a period of time, there is a high probability that it was obtained during or before the press conference."
"So these assistants are more likely to be close to Mr. Araki, and the suspicion is greater." Kawakami asked lazily.
"If we were to pin poison needles to Mr. Araki's clothes, anyone at the venue who has been close to Mr. Araki would be able to do it."
After hearing Kawakamiji's answer, Houdeng Minghui immediately retorted.
"Sato has rushed the blood sample for testing." Mr. Megure, who was in charge of the overall situation, said at this time, "When the toxin is analyzed and analyzed, the problem will be solved."
In fact, the problem may not be solved once the drug test results come out, but Officer Megure needs to calm everyone's emotions.
"Indeed." Kawakami Tsumugi said, "Officer Megure, I know that you have collected confessions from the assistants present. Can I take a look?"
This request was actually against the rules, but Officer Megure agreed without hesitation: "Of course, Brother Kawakami."

At this time, Kudo Shinichi tugged on Kawakami Tsumugi's sleeve: "I have the confession here. Mr. Matsuda, can you take it out again?"
Matsuda Jinpei seemed reluctant to hand over the confession to Kawakami Tsumugi, but he still obeyed the order of his current boss.
Kawakami took it and flipped it through to confirm his thoughts.
The confession is relatively simple and is just a preliminary judgment of the police on the people present.
After narrowing the scope, the police officers will conduct closer interviews with the more suspected persons. It was at this time that Kawakami got out of the fishing state and went to the side of Houdeng Minghui to listen.
"Mr. Houdeng Minghui's undergraduate degree is biology. He stayed at the institute for two years before becoming Shinki Takashi's assistant." Kawakami picked out the most important point.
"Furthermore, according to my preliminary judgment, the poison in Mr. Xinmu's body is likely to be a biological toxin." The little detective added.
"Saxitoxin?"
"Yes, a derivative of tetrahydropurine can inhibit nerve conduction by affecting sodium ion channels. It can cause respiratory muscle paralysis, which is exactly the same as Mr. Araki's symptoms."
When Kawakamiji blurted out saxitoxin, Kudo Shinichi showed an expression of "you actually know it too".
"I already know who the murderer is," he continued.
