Chapter 572 Evidence 2
"False testimony?" Yokomizo Chanwu's expression suddenly became serious, "Yuya-kun, are you telling the truth?"
Yuya smiled confidently: "Of course. Although what she said seems reasonable, there is a fatal flaw in it. This flaw completely overturns her testimony."
Rina Hiranaka's face changed and she tried her best to control her facial expression.
Among the people present, only Miyano Shiho showed a thoughtful expression and subconsciously glanced at Pochi in her arms.
When Toru Amuro saw this scene, his eyes moved slightly as if he understood something.
Henggou Chanwu asked hurriedly: "What is the flaw?"
Yuya led everyone to the second floor, and then said: "First, let's recall what Miss Rina said. She said that through the decorative mirror, she saw a person in red clothes standing at the stairs, holding Pochi in his arms, right?"
Hiranaka Rina nodded: "Yes, what's the problem?"
Yuya smiled slightly: "There is no problem up to here. Then, that person turned around and left, holding Pochi and walked in that direction. During this time, you saw a rose on that person's chest, right?"
Hiranaka Rina: "That's right."
Everyone pondered these words and did not find any problem in them.
"I remember you said that Pochi was very quiet in that man's arms, so you speculated that the man in red was someone Pochi knew..."
Hiranaka Rina was stunned: "What's the problem?"
Yuya shook his finger, "It's a big problem."
Rina Hiranaka's expression changed slightly. How come she didn't notice anything wrong?
Yuya looked at Miyano Shiho: "Mio, can you cooperate with me in an experiment? Let's recreate the scene."
Miyano Shiho nodded and walked up holding Pochi.
"You stand at the stairs first, yes, that's it, then turn around and walk inside..."
Following Yuya's instructions, Miyano Shiho personally recreated the scene described by Hiranaka Rina.
Just as she turned and passed the decorative mirror, Pochi suddenly barked wildly and bared his teeth at the mirror.
Miyano Shiho quickly carried Pochi away from the mirror, and it finally calmed down.
When everyone saw this scene, they immediately showed surprised expressions.
Toru Amuro's expression changed, and he suddenly understood what the so-called flaw was.
Yuya glanced at Hiranaka Rina and found that her face turned pale.
"Perhaps people who have never raised a dog don't know that no matter how smart a dog is, its IQ is still limited. When a dog sees itself in the mirror, it will bark like this."
"But Ms. Rina said that Pochi was very quiet in that person's arms at the time, which is obviously unreasonable."
Hiranaka Rina looked very unhappy. She argued, "Well, maybe Pochi didn't see himself in the mirror at that time?"
Yuya shook his finger, "That's impossible. Since you can see the chest of the man in red from your room, that means that when he left, he must have been facing the decorative mirror. No matter what angle that person turned at, Pochi would have seen himself in the mirror and started barking non-stop."
"This is unreasonable and is enough to overturn your testimony."
"Ms. Rina, can you explain why you lied like that?"
Hiranaka Rina's lips trembled slightly and she remained silent.
After seeing this scene, everyone realized that Rina Hiranaka's eyewitness testimony was indeed perjury. It seemed that she was the one who set the trip rope and caused the old lady to fall down the stairs.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Detective Kamiya, what about what you said before, that she poisoned the old lady first? Shouldn't she poison the old lady only because she didn't fall to death?"
Yuya said, "I thought so at first, but it's not true. As we know, no toxins were detected in the remaining medicine in the bottle of liver protection capsules."
"I just said that the murderer doesn't 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 she takes."
"She just needs the old lady to eat the poisonous capsule one day and die from the poison."
Amuro Toru suddenly realized, "I see. The murderer originally planned to wait for the old lady to eat the poison capsule and then die of the poison. In this way, too much time has passed since the poisoning, and the police will have difficulty finding clues even if they want to investigate, and she can inherit the estate smoothly."
"Hey, hey, hey," Hiranaka Rina said with an unhappy look on her face, "You guys are talking as if you've already determined that I'm the murderer."
"What you said is just speculation. What about the evidence? Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?"
Yuya smiled faintly: "Of course, if I wasn't absolutely sure, I wouldn't be standing here."
"Excuse me, Ms. Rina, have you ever come into contact with that bottle of liver protection capsules?"
Hiranaka Rina shook her head without even thinking, "Of course not."
Yuya smiled slightly: "Then why were your fingerprints detected on those liver protection capsules?"
"What?" Hiranaka Rina's face suddenly changed, "This is impossible!"
Yokomizo Sango frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Rina, but the police did detect your fingerprints on the capsule. Since you said you didn't touch the capsule, why are there your fingerprints on it?"
Yuya said, "The bottle of liver protection capsules is relatively small, and the capsules inside are squeezed together. It is difficult to pour out just one of them, so I guess you will pour out multiple capsules, fill them with phosphorus, and then put them back."
"It's inevitable that fingerprints would be left in the process, so I asked Inspector Yokomizo to do a test, and sure enough, they were found."
Rina Hiranaka's face was extremely pale. She never thought that she would leave such fatal evidence.
Yuya continued: "But it doesn't matter even if there are no fingerprints left. I have other evidence."
Hiranaka Rina looked up in astonishment: "Any other evidence?"
Yuya smiled faintly, his eyes falling on her room: "Perhaps you didn't expect the old lady to suddenly change her will?"
Hiranaka Rina remained silent.
"The will has been changed. Once the old lady dies, not only you, but also other people will not get a penny of the inheritance. So you definitely don't want the old lady to eat that liver protection capsule one day."
"So, if I'm not mistaken, there should be a bottle of the same liver-protecting capsule somewhere in your room, right? You can use it to replace the bottle with the poison. After all, there is only one capsule containing phosphorus, and even you can't tell the difference, so you have to replace the whole bottle."
"I asked the housekeeper, and the bottle of liver protection capsules in the storage room is still the same bottle as before, so..."
Yokomizo Sango's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Ms. Rina, can we check your room?"
Hiranaka Rina opened her mouth and finally sighed: "No need, I do have a capsule in my room, at the bottom of the suitcase."
She looked at Yuya and smiled bitterly: "As expected of the famous detective Kamiya Yuya who has a 100% case-solving rate. I was confident that no one would catch me, but you saw through everything."
"I even doubt whether you were watching me while I was setting up the place."
