Chapter 571 The murderer is actually her?

Youye nodded: "Then it's clear. The nail was taken away by the murderer who caused the old lady to fall down the stairs. Perhaps the murderer didn't expect that the act of taking the nail away only confirmed my speculation."

Amuro Toru nodded in agreement: "That's right. If the nail had been left there, we might have thought it was there all along. But now that it's been taken away, it just proves that someone nailed it there on purpose."

"Yes, with the help of nails and railings, we can set a trip wire and make the old lady who always comes downstairs to pour milk fall down the stairs at that time."

"But the murderer didn't expect that because of the carpet, the old lady just fainted and didn't even suffer any serious injuries."

Yokogome Sango interrupted, "So the murderer poisoned the old lady again?"

Youye shook his head: "To be precise, it was not because the old lady didn't fall to death that she was poisoned, but she was poisoned first and then did this."

"Ah???"*N

Everyone looked confused, even Toru Amuro showed a slightly puzzled expression.

"What does it mean?"

Youye smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about the things at hand first."

"Regarding the incident of the old lady falling down the stairs, when we questioned her again today, Ms. Rina told me a very crucial piece of information."

"She was taking a nap at the time and was awakened by the noise downstairs. Through the decorative mirror diagonally opposite her room, she saw a person in red clothes holding Pochi standing at the stairs. The person then left in the opposite direction of the stairs."

"Isn't that right, Ms. Rina?"

Hiranaka Rina nodded vigorously: "Yes, I did see it, and I saw a rose on the chest of the clothes."

"Rose?" Heizhong Keisuke's face suddenly changed, and he looked at his wife in disbelief, "Kei, could it be you..."

Hiranaka Hui's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she glared at Hiranaka Rina: "You ***, what nonsense are you talking about? I was in the toilet at the time, how could you have seen me?!"

Hiranaka Rina shrank her neck in fear: "But I did see it, and... and no one can prove that you were in the toilet at that time, right?"

Hiranaka Hui shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" She looked at Yuya in panic, "Detective Kamiya, believe me, I was in the bathroom at that time!"

You didn't say anything, but asked, "What was the situation at that time? Can you tell me again?"

Hiranaka Hui swallowed her saliva. Although she had told Amuro Toru and the police several times, since it concerned her own innocence, she could only tell it again.

"I was in the bathroom at the time. I heard a noisy noise downstairs, so I quickly packed up and came out. Then I saw my mother fall downstairs, and then I saw Pochi's ball on the stairs..."

The events that Ping Zhonghui recounted again were no different from what she had described previously.

"So you thought the old lady stepped on the ball and fell down the stairs?"

Ping Zhonghui nodded vigorously: "Really, you believe me!"

You did not respond and continued, "This is roughly what happened when the old lady fell down the stairs."

"Next, we will push the incident forward to the time when the old lady died of poisoning."

"The old lady died of phosphorus poisoning. The green smoke that came out of her mouth before she died was produced by phosphorus."

Yokogo Sanwu was puzzled: "But how did the old lady get poisoned? We didn't detect any phosphorus in anything."

Youye smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Phosphorus was put into the old lady's liver-healing capsule. With the protection of the capsule, the old lady will not die immediately after taking the poison."

"It was not until the capsule was digested by gastric juice that the phosphorus inside was exposed and the old lady died of poisoning."

Yokogo Chanwu suddenly realized, but he still had some doubts: "But we didn't detect phosphorus in the remaining capsules. Could it be that only the capsule the old lady took contained phosphorus?"

Yuya's mouth curled up slightly: "Although it is a little unbelievable, it is true."

A huge question mark popped up above Yokogami Sanwu's head: "How is this possible? How did the murderer accurately make the old lady take that capsule?"

Yuya shook his head: "Inspector Yokomizo, you are wrong. The murderer does not need the old lady to take the capsule today. It can be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It doesn't even matter if the capsule is the last one to be taken."

Henggou Chanwu looked confused: "What does this mean?"

Amuro Toru seemed to be thinking: "Youya-kun means that it doesn't matter when the old lady died of poisoning, what matters is the fact that she died of poisoning itself?"

"As long as she dies of poisoning, the murderer can inherit her estate..."

Yuya nodded: "That's right, but the murderer may have been unable to wait for some reason, so he used the trip rope to throw the old lady to death. However, he didn't expect that the old lady not only did not die, but also suddenly changed her will after this incident."

Amuro Toru: "So, the old lady took that poisonous capsule..."

Yuya: "If it is related to the staircase incident, it is a coincidence; but from the perspective of the incident itself, this is something that will definitely happen in the future, it just happened earlier."

Amuro revealed a thoughtful expression, and he looked at Yuya with some admiration. Although this reasoning was a bit far-fetched, it was surprisingly reasonable at the moment.

Ping Zhonghui couldn't wait any longer: "So who did it? Who is the murderer?" She didn't want to take the blame, and she felt that no one looked at her properly.

The others also looked at Yuya.

Yuya smiled, slowly raised his hand, and pointed at someone in the crowd: "The murderer who set up the tripwire and poisoned the old lady is..."

Someone has already looked at Ping Zhonghui - causing her face to look extremely ugly and nervous at the same time. This detective should have really found the murderer, right?

"...It's you, Ms. Hiranaka Rina!"

As the murderer's name was uttered, everyone looked at Rina Hiranaka in shock.

Hiranaka Rina's face changed, and her expression became a little ugly: "Detective Kamiya, this joke is not funny."

"Yeah," Yokomizo Sango couldn't believe it. "Didn't she see the murderer in red? That person..."

Hiranaka Megumi's face twitched. She was the only one who had that dress. Although Hiranaka Rina seemed unaware of it, this testimony undoubtedly pointed the finger at Hiranaka Megumi.

"No, no, no, she's lying." Yuya said firmly, looking at the ugly-looking Hiranaka Rina, and said coldly, "She just wanted to put the blame on someone else..."

"perjury!"
