Chapter 570 The real time of poisoning

Yuya rested one hand on his knee, holding his chin with a thoughtful expression.

Miyano Shiho sat next to him, holding Pochi and keeping him company quietly.

After a long time, she couldn't help but ask: "Still no clue?" According to his usual speed of solving cases, Youya should have one hand in his pocket, working on the case handsomely.

It's rare to see him deep in thought.

Youye shook his head and nodded again: "I already know roughly who the murderer is, but there are two questions I haven't figured out yet."

"What's the problem?" asked Miyano Shiho.

Youya said: "First of all, the murderer's purpose in killing the old lady should be for the inheritance, but since the will has been changed, the murderer has no reason to continue killing the old lady, but..."

"Secondly, how did the murderer make the old lady eat phosphorus and cause her death? I originally guessed that it was placed in the liver capsule, but no toxins were detected in other capsules."

Miyano Shiho thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Could it be that the murderer replaced the capsule?"

Yuya shook his head: "I asked Dr. Yamato, that bottle of liver protection capsules has always been the same bottle and has never been changed."

Miyano Shiho frowned slightly. She couldn't think of the answer to the question and guessed, "If it was really placed in the capsule, then maybe only that one capsule contained the poison? Did the murderer just pick it randomly?"

Yuya subconsciously retorted: "No, if she picked one at random, then it's not certain when the old lady would eat the poisonous capsule... Wait!"

Miyano Shiho was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Youye stood up suddenly, paced on the spot, muttering to himself. If someone who didn't know the situation saw him, they would think he was crazy.

Miyano Shiho was a little worried: "What's wrong with you? Talk?"

Yuya suddenly laughed, held Miyano Shiho's face and kissed her hard: "Mua! Mio, you are really my lucky star, thank you for reminding me!"

Miyano Shiho was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, she covered her cheeks in disbelief: "You idiot, what are you doing!" She looked around guiltily, fortunately no one noticed...

No, there are two maids over there secretly watching here!

She turned around and wanted to strangle Youye, but found that he had disappeared.

This person! Miyano Shiho's eyes widened. He actually ran away after flirting with her?

···

On the other side, Yuya ran and found Yokomizo Chango, who was talking to Amuro Toru.

Seeing Yuya coming over in a hurry, Amuro Toru realized something and asked quickly: "Yuya-kun, did you find anything?"

Yuya nodded, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Yokomizo and said, "Inspector Yokomizo, I want to ask, when you were testing the two bottles of medicine for toxins, did you check for fingerprints?"

Yokoguro Chango was stunned for a moment: "Of course we tested it, but there were no fingerprints left on it."

Yuya was not surprised: "Sure enough, it was wiped off by the murderer, then...what about the top of the capsule?"

Yokogo Sango widened his eyes in surprise: "Capsule?" Why didn't he think of collecting the fingerprints on the capsule?

"I'll have someone do the test right away!" Yokomizo Sango quickly took out his cell phone to contact his subordinates.

Amuro Toru thought about it for a moment and understood: "Do you think the phosphorus was put into the capsule?"

Yuya nodded.

Amuro Toru was a little confused: "But aren't there no toxins in the remaining capsules? How did the murderer accurately let the old lady eat the poison capsules?"

Yuya looked at Amuro Toru and said, "It seems that Mr. Amuro has made the same mistake as I did."

Amuro Toru: “?”

Yuya smiled mysteriously and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Toru Amuro shut his mouth tactfully. As a detective himself, he naturally knew that these people would not easily reveal their reasoning until the last moment.

···

Soon, Yokomizo Sango received a report from his subordinates, and the result was just as Yuya had guessed.

"Okay, now that we have the evidence, let's gather everyone together. It's time to uncover the truth."

Everyone was present in the living room of the villa.

"Inspector, you said you know the identity of the murderer. Then who exactly killed my mother?" Hiranaka Keisuke asked anxiously.

Yokogome looked at Yuya with understanding.

Youya stepped forward and stood up, looking around at everyone and said, "Before that, I would like everyone to recall what happened when the old lady fell down the stairs yesterday."

Heinaka Keisuke frowned and asked in confusion: "What happened? Didn't my mother step on Pochi's ball and fall down the stairs?"

Yuya shook his head: "Mr. Keisuke, it seems that you don't know much about the dog at home."

A huge question mark appeared above Heinaka Keisuke's head: "What does that mean?"

Yuya said: "Don't you know that Pochi is a very obedient child? He always takes the ball back to his nest after playing with it?"

Heinaka Keisuke was stunned: "There is such a thing? I really don't know."

Butler Yamato suddenly said, "I know, it's just as Detective Kamiya said, Pochi has that habit."

Yuya took over the conversation: "If that's the case, then doesn't it seem unnatural that the old lady stepped on Pochi's ball and fell down the stairs?"

Heinaka Keisuke's face changed and he glared at the butler: "Yamato, why didn't you tell me such an important thing?"

Yamato felt a little aggrieved: "I didn't think of this... After all, it's just a dog, maybe it will forget sometimes?"

You also shook his head: "Mr. Butler, you underestimate animals. Some animals are as intelligent as humans, especially dogs. If they are well trained, they can even help their owners with housework."

Heinaka Keisuke was a little skeptical: "This is impossible?" Isn't it too far-fetched for a dog to help with housework?

You was also puzzled: "There are obviously many pets at home, have you never noticed it?"

Heinaka Keisuke looked a little strange, he stammered, lowered his head and said nothing.

Butler Yamato sighed and said, "Actually, the pets in our house were all raised by the eldest young lady before she passed away. The eldest young master couldn't bear to part with those animals, so he kept them. Since then, I and the maid have been taking care of them."

"Is that so..." Youya didn't expect that there was such an inside story.

"We've strayed off topic, let's get down to business." Yuya coughed and said, "The reason why the old lady fell down the stairs was not because of Pochi. Everyone follow me."

Yuya led everyone to the staircase and pointed to a small hole at the base of the wall and said, "When the three of us first arrived yesterday, we found a nail here, but when we came back today, it was gone."

"Mr. Butler, was it you or the maid who took the nail away?"

Yamato looked at the maids around him, and they all shook their heads vigorously to indicate that they didn't know about this. He looked at Yuya and said, "It wasn't me who did it, and the maids don't know either."
