Chapter 789: 9-part Cake

Chapter 789: 9-part Cake

Wakamatsu Serika was very uneasy and started to defend herself: "That cup of black tea is mine..."

Everyone subconsciously looked at her, and she became even more uneasy, but still tried to explain: "But I didn't get close to the cake at all, so there was no chance for me to poison it!"

Inspector Megure immediately asked, "Is that so? Then who was the one who cut the cake?"

Yonehara Sakurako said nervously, "I cut the cake, but... Miss Satake also helped put the cake on the plate. She was the one who cut the cake into nine equal parts and gave them to everyone."

Inspector Megure was a little concerned: "Oh? Nine equal parts?"

Satake Yoshimi was not panicked at all. He pushed his glasses calmly and said, "There are six guests today, plus my wife and son, and Mr. Shiiaki who loves sweets very much, so there are already nine people. I think if we continue to increase the number, each person will get too little, so I didn't count me and Miss Yonehara."

"Besides, the cake was bought by the manager."

Inspector Megure looked at Shiiaki Masafuji with an inquiring look: "Oh, you bought the cake?"

Shiiaki Masafuji quickly replied, "Yes, the late president and I both loved the Baumkuchen from that store, so I buy it every time I come here. I bought it today when Mr. Fujinami and I came here."

Yuya suddenly remembered something: "Come to think of it, Mr. Fujinami said he had already tried it, right?"

Fujinami Junsei quickly explained, "It was just a small piece! When I was waiting in the car outside the store, the manager handed me the box of cake, but he suddenly said he forgot to take the receipt and went back to the store."

"I ate a small piece on a whim while I was waiting for him..."

"Ah!" Yuanshan Heye suddenly shouted, "No wonder there was a little piece missing from the cake I got!"

Inspector Megure analyzed, "So, Mr. Fujinami had the time and opportunity to poison the cake, right?"

Gao Mushi felt that he had understood, and immediately said: "So, the poison was put on the cake, and Mr. Ikuro happened to be the first to eat the cake, and thus died of poisoning?"

Hattori Heiji pinched his chin and said, "No, this is probably inevitable. Because Mr. Ikuro was already very hungry and making a fuss. When he saw the cake, he would definitely not be able to resist eating a piece of it to relieve his hunger, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you suddenly suspicious of me?" Fujinami Junsheng shouted in injustice, "How could I not confess that I cheated?"

"Besides, the executive had already taken the cake away before I parked the car in the garage. He also had the opportunity to poison it!"

"Besides, I didn't even know that stupid son was hungry. How could I have poisoned the cake? If someone else ate it first, wouldn't they be poisoned to death?"

Inspector Megure gave a long "hmm" and said that what Fujinami Jun'o said did make sense.

Takagi Wataru asked, "By the way, why is Mr. Ikuro so hungry?"

Yonehara Sakurako quickly explained: "Because the soy sauce was out, I went out to buy some, so dinner was prepared later than usual..."

Inspector Megure asked, "Who knew in advance that he was hungry?"

Wakamatsu Serika said, "Ms. Satake, Ms. Yonehara, and I should be able to guess it, right?"

The two nodded.

Yuya pinched his chin and asked, "Mr. Ikuro did take the remaining cake with his hands and eat it. Does he usually do this?"

Yonehara Sakurako nodded and said, "Yes, he said it would taste better this way."

Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered that Wakamatsu Ikuro once said that his dinner was bigger than others, so he asked Yonehara Sakurako suspiciously: "Could it be that you guessed that Mr. Ikuro would rush to eat, so you poisoned the larger cake?"

Yonehara Sakurako replied dissatisfiedly: "I cut it into nine equal parts, so the cake I gave you should also be the same size!"

Except for the part about distant mountains and leaves, which is a little less, the impact is not that big.

Seeing that questioning would not yield any results, Inspector Megure said, "Anyway, we are going to conduct a toxin test on the remaining cakes and tea. After the body searches are completed, please go to other rooms and wait."

···

After the search and inspection was completed, Wakamatsu Qinxiang had some business to deal with, so everyone went to the study and waited.

She sat in her office chair and said with a headache: "It's really a headache. The design orders that were due this month are almost overdue, and Yulang is having such a thing at this time..."

Shiiaki Masafuji also frowned and said, "At this rate, we may not be able to go back tonight."

Fujinami Junsheng was very worried: "No way, I still have work to do."

Satake Yoshimi also said: "There are still many documents here that need the vice president's signature."

She looked at Wakamatsu Serika and said, "Vice President, the text color and design that you need to choose have been sent to the mailbox on this computer. I wonder if you have taken a look?"

When Ruo Song Qin Xiang heard this, she immediately showed a dissatisfied expression: "Didn't I tell you to print it out for me to see?"

Satake Yoshimi quickly apologized: "I'm very sorry, because the president has always handled it that way before."

Wakamatsu Serika complained, "The operating system of the computers here is different from mine, and I don't know how to use it!"

But now that things have come to this, it would be a waste of time to print it out, so I just said, "Forget it, I'll look at it with the executive manager later, just tell me which folder it is in."

"Yes!"

Fujinami Junsei suddenly asked, "Speaking of the president, is what that stupid son just said true? Is that guy who is related to the president going to inherit the company in the future?"

Both Satake Yoshimi and Shiiaki Masafuji said they were shocked to hear this.

Wakamatsu Qinxiang looked a little unnatural, and said vaguely: "Who knows, maybe that child just wishful thinking."

Fujinami Jun'o breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't want to work under that kind of guy. This is actually a relief."

Yuya and the others were just quietly listening to them discussing work, but when these words came out, Hattori Heiji was the first to lose control.

But before he could say anything, the door of the study was suddenly opened: "Please don't go too far!"

Yonehara Sakurako held a large tray of black tea, her face full of anger: "Another person has passed away! Moreover, although Mr. Ikuro didn't have a good relationship with everyone, it is also a fact that he was poisoned to death! And the murderer may be someone present here, please understand the situation!"

After she said these words angrily, she came in with a tray and placed it on the table with great force, almost spilling the tea in the cup.

Wakamatsu Qinxiang and the others were overwhelmed by her aura for a moment and couldn't help but shrink their necks.

Fujinami Junsei yelled, "You are the one who doesn't understand the situation! Someone has been poisoned, so why are you bringing tea here?"

Yonehara Sakurako was not afraid at all and said loudly: "I just made this under police supervision. If you still think it's poisonous, why don't you just not drink it?"

Fujinami Jun'o felt a little embarrassed and glared at Yonehara Sakurako with a stern face.
