Chapter 790 How did the murderer poison the patient?
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Youya quickly stood up and said, "Ms. Yonehara, let's continue the topic we just left unfinished."
"What?" Sakurako Yonehara looked at Yuya in confusion.
Yuya said, "It's what I just said, the death message that the president wrote with his own blood. You seemed to have said that you remember what those words were?"
Conan said: "I think it's English letters?"
Yuanshan Heye's expression changed: "Could it be that those letters are EYE?"
Yonehara Sakurako was stunned: "EYE?"
Yuya said: "It literally means eyes. It was the murderer who killed the president. He called Toyama to the president's old home in Osaka and saw three characters that suddenly disappeared."
Wakamatsu Serika looked at Yuya in surprise: "In that house in Osaka?"
Hattori Heiji nodded and said, "That's right, that's why we came all the way here to ask you about what happened at that time."
Yonehara Sakurako said, "But what I saw was not EYE, but the English letter, S?"
"S?" Youye and the others were stunned.
"Hey," Hattori Heiji shouted in surprise, "Mr. Masafuki Shiiaki, Mr. Jun'ei Fujinami, the chief designer, Ms. Yoshimi Satake, the secretary, and the president's wife, Ms. Serika Wakamatsu, aren't the first letters of your last names or first names all S?"
"Um..." Yonehara Sakurako raised her hand, "My name is Sakurako, and my first letter is also S..."
Yuya and the others looked at her in surprise: "What did you say?"
Yuya pondered and said, "But the first letter of Mr. Ikuro who was killed this time was not S..."
He looked at Yonehara Sakurako: "What did you do after you found the body?"
Yonehara Sakurako said quickly: "I didn't think too much at the time, and immediately went to find my wife in the living room."
Wakamatsu Serika confirmed, "Yes, we went together to check on the man's body, and then called the ambulance and the police. And because the cell phone signal was not good around here, I specifically asked her to use the phone in the study to call the police. I was also the one who notified Ikuro."
Yuya pondered and said, "And when the police arrived, the letter S disappeared?"
Yonehara Sakurako nodded: "Yes, when I returned to the bathroom, I saw Mr. Ikuro crying on the master. At that time, the words seemed to have disappeared."
Yuya looked at Wakamatsu Serika: "Madam, didn't you see the letter?"
Wakamatsu Serika said that she was focused on her husband's body and did not notice any words.
Hattori Heiji said: "If my guess is correct, the bathroom in the Karuizawa villa and the bathroom in the Osaka house use the same kind of tiles?"
Wakamatsu Serika said affirmatively: "Yes, they are all specially made by my husband."
"However, the Osaka family has already started the renovation project. The villa in Karuizawa is currently blocked by the police for protection. It will also be demolished after that. We may not have the chance to see it again in the future."
Hearing this, Sakurako Yonehara, who was standing at the back of the crowd, showed a surprised expression, but no one else saw it.
Yuya thought for a moment and asked, "Can I ask where you were and what you were doing when the president was killed?"
Satake Yoshimi was the first to speak: "We and the vice president are in the living room."
Shiiaki Masafugi said, "A lot of people came to the vice president's birthday party that day."
Fujinami Junsei nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes. After the party, I wanted to leave with other guests, but the president said he had something important to announce and asked us to wait until he finished replacing the tiles in the bathroom, so we had to stay..."
Wakamatsu Serika continued, "The four of us were waiting for my husband in the living room. We played poker for about two hours, right?"
Fujinami Junsei shrugged his shoulders: "So, we all have perfect alibis."
Satake Yoshimi also said: "Because the maid saw the letter S, we were the first to be suspected by the police and asked a lot of questions."
"However, because the president's wallet has never been found, nor the murder weapon, and there were signs of external intrusion at the scene, the words the maid saw were considered an illusion caused by panic. Now the Nagano Prefecture police are investigating this clue of external crime."
Just then, the door of the study opened and Takagi Wataru appeared at the door.
He waved at Yuya: "Yuya-kun..."
Yuya was stunned and followed Takagi Wataru to the door. Conan and Hattori Heiji saw this and guessed that he was going to say something to Yuya, so they hurriedly followed him. Miyano Shiho and the other two also followed him out.
When they came outside the door, Inspector Megure was already waiting there.
Yuya asked straight to the point: "Inspector Megure, are the test results out?"
Takagi Shigeru nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is like this. According to the test results, no toxins were detected at the scene except for the cup of black tea with the capsule in it."
Yuya wasn't surprised, he just frowned slightly: "As expected."
Inspector Megure looked at Yuya with some surprise: "Brother Kamiya, it seems that you have already guessed this result?"
Yuya nodded gently: "If things were that simple, then there wouldn't be no progress in finding the murderer who killed the president. After all, according to the current situation, the murderer of the two cases is the same person."
Inspector Megure sighed and continued, "And the toxin in the black tea is also very weak, which means that if the capsule was not poisoned and thrown in to destroy the fingerprints, then..."
"The murderer did this on purpose to confuse the police's investigation, right?" Hattori Heiji suddenly interrupted.
Inspector Megure nodded.
Yuya groaned, "So, the only poisonous part is the one that Mr. Ikuro ate?"
Hattori Heiji raised a question: "This is strange. At that time, Mr. Ikuro should have picked up one of the two pieces and ate it. How did the murderer accurately let him get the poisonous piece?"
Yuanshan and Ye immediately guessed: "Isn't that cake bigger?"
Mao Lilan agreed: "Indeed, Mr. Ikuro seems to be very greedy."
After hearing this, Takagi Wataru quickly said, "We thought so at first, so we went to that store and bought the same cake, but after comparing, we found that each piece was almost the same size."
"Huh?" Mao Lilan and Toyama Kazuha shouted in surprise, "Could it be that the murderer poisoned Mr. Ikuro after he picked up the cake, but didn't let him find out?"
Gao Mushi laughed dryly: "How is this possible? The murderer is not a transparent man."
Mao Lilan and Yuanshan Kazuha still couldn't figure it out: "How did they do that?"
Miyano Shiho suddenly said, "Is it possible that the poison was not done by the murderer, but Mr. Ikuro himself put the poison on the cake?"
The others looked at Miyano Shiho in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Miyano Shiho said: "That is to say, the murderer smeared the poison on something that Mr. Ikuro would touch, and then he used his poisoned hands to pick up the cake, that's it..."
"So that's the case, it's indeed possible."
Inspector Megure's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Takagi, immediately investigate the room to see if there is any other place with poison!"
"Yes!"
