Chapter 793 The murderer committed suicide?

The poison powder on the door handle caused Wakamatsu Ikuro to be poisoned and die. The poison powder in the gap of the floor at the door had a gap of about 10 centimeters in the middle.

Yuya and the other two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

The three of them returned to the living room and asked Inspector Megure to check their slippers.

Inspector Megure was a little dissatisfied: "What are you doing running around just now? We are conducting an interrogation!"

He looked at Yuya and said, "Brother Kamiya, you too, are you joining in the fun?"

Yuya smiled awkwardly and said, "How is that possible, Inspector? You know me well, so please do me a favor."

Inspector Megure sighed, but out of trust in his younger brother, he still asked someone to bring spare slippers, and changed everyone's slippers and sent them for inspection.

Yuya and the other two left the living room, and Inspector Megure continued their questioning.

Takagi Shigeya remembered Yuya's instructions, and during the questioning process, he used the excuse of using it as a reference to find out who usually admired the president.

But starting with Jun'o Fujinami, everyone said that another person admired the president, and when asked, it turned out that everyone admired the president and their reasons were all reasonable.

Takagi Shigeru told Yuya the result with a headache.

You was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the president was a nice person. All his subordinates admired him?

This clue cannot be investigated further, so we can only pin our hopes on the slippers.

The results came out very quickly. No poison powder was detected on the slippers of anyone, including Inspector Megure and others who came later.

But there is still one person who has not been tested.

So, Yuya and the other two came to the study and knocked on the door.

"Ma'am, are you still in there? The only thing left to check is your slippers."

But no one responded.

Yuya frowned, and a bad thought suddenly came to his mind. Without waiting for Hattori Heiji to question him, Yuya directly pressed the handle and opened the door.

However, the scene in the study shocked them—Wakamatsu Serika fell to the ground with her hands covering her throat, already dead.

Upon receiving the news, Inspector Megure rushed over.

After preliminary observation, it was confirmed that the cause of death of Wakamatsu Serika was also cyanide poisoning.

Fujinami Junsei suddenly asked, "Isn't this suicide?"

"When we left this room, the last person to close the door was the inspector, right? Was the wife still alive at that time?"

Inspector Megure nodded with a serious face. That was indeed the case.

Fujinami Junsei continued, "And the last people to open the door were these two young men and this brat. There were two police officers guarding the study during that time, and no one else entered or left the study. There is no other possibility except suicide, right?"

"Yeah," Satake Yoshimi agreed, "If this is considered murder, then doesn't it become a murder in a closed room?"

"That's not necessarily true." Conan said suddenly, and everyone else looked over subconsciously.

Conan pointed at the desk and said, "Because there are a lot of suspicious things on it."

On the desk, there was a cup of black tea, a bronze pen, an opened box of eye drops, and a document with only the word "fuck" written on it but not signed.

Yuya also said, "The Chinese dictionary and the box that were dropped next to Madam are also suspicious."

Inspector Megure picked up the dictionary, looked at the open page and said, "The page that the dictionary is open to stops at the part with the sound wa..."

Yuya speculated: "The lady must have died of poisoning when she was looking up a word in the dictionary because she didn't know it..."

Yuya bent down and picked up the box containing the dictionary. He looked inside and said, "Sure enough, there is a small bag stuck to the corner of the box. It looks a little torn. There may be poison inside... Inspector Megure, the dictionary may be poisonous. Be careful."

Inspector Megure was startled and quickly handed the dictionary to his subordinate to check, then ran to the bathroom to wash his hands carefully.

Hattori Heiji speculated: "Then we can consider that the murderer may have anticipated that there would be difficult words in the documents or instructions, so he coated the dictionary with poison in advance. When the lady was looking through the dictionary..."

"Hey wait a minute," Fujinami Junsei interrupted Hattori Heiji, "I don't think the vice president would not recognize any kanji."

Satake Yoshimi also said: "The vice president once passed the first level of the Kanji test. In addition, even if you really want to doubt us, please read the letter that the vice president left for me first, okay?"

"letter?"

Satake Yoshimi said, "The vice president asked me to hand the letter over to the police if anything happens to her. The letter is in the safe."

The letter was quickly taken out, and inside it was a confession from Wakamatsu Serika.

When she was in Karuizawa, she heard that the president had been murdered and rushed to the bathroom. In addition to the dead president lying on the ground, she actually saw her son hiding at the door with a knife in his hand and covered in blood.

However, Wakamatsu Serika chose to conceal the matter because her son had already realized that she was the one who embezzled the company's funds. In order to conceal the matter, she asked her son to throw himself on the president's body to hide the blood splattered on his body.

Then, using the illusion of diamond shadow, he concealed the death message left by the president, hid the murder weapon, and disposed of it afterwards, disguising the scene as if it was a crime committed by an outsider.

But she was also afraid that if she knew who the real murderer was, her son might kill her to silence her, so she left this letter, together with the hidden death message, which could be handed over to the police as evidence.

After reading the letter, Inspector Megure let out a sigh and asked Satake Yoshimi: "Are you the only secretary who knows about the existence of this letter?"

Satake Yoshimi said, "It should be, but..." She paused and added, "Because the vice president checks the integrity of the envelope every night, someone might get suspicious."

In fact, this is true, and several other people also know something about it.

At the same time, Takagi Wataru also brought the inspection results of the slippers, and toxic reaction was indeed found on Wakamatsu Serika's slippers.

It seems that the person who sprinkled poison on the door handle of Wakamatsu Ikuro's bedroom was definitely Wakamatsu Serika herself.

Inspector Megure said in a deep voice, "So, Madam couldn't stand the fear of being killed someday, so she took the initiative to kill him?"

"After all, it's quite difficult to swap the slippers you're wearing with the slippers stained with poison powder."

"As for the poison in the box, I think it was hidden there by the madam. Even if he was the stepson brought by the president, he is still a son. After killing someone, he couldn't bear the condemnation in his heart, so he used the poison in the bag to commit suicide. This is also possible..."

Yuya, Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at each other, and the three of them walked out of the study room tacitly.

Hattori Heiji asked in a deep voice: "Do you think the lady really committed suicide?"

Yuya put his hands in his pockets, looked at the moon outside the window and said: "When I saw my wife passed away, I thought so for a while. But after seeing the situation in the study, I began to doubt..."

Conan continued: "How could a person who has made up his mind to commit suicide ask someone to pour him a new cup of black tea and use eye drops to relieve his eye fatigue?"

"Moreover, the document has not been signed yet, and there is no intention to put the pen back..."

"Yes," Hattori Heiji nodded, "It's as if the lady was secretly killed with poison by a ghost-like creature who sneaked in while she was signing autographs without anyone noticing."

"Yeah," Yuya narrowed his eyes, "Just like what was written in the letter to Hattori..."

"I am an abnormal existence that you humans have arbitrarily created. I am an illusion that you can never truly see."
