Chapter 795: One Big Cake and One Small Cake

Everyone immediately opened the bottle cap and took a big sip.

Fujinami Junsei suddenly thought of something, looked at his watch, and exclaimed, "No way, it's already one o'clock."

Satake Yoshimi held the oolong tea in his left hand, holding the bottle cap between his index finger and thumb, and said in surprise, "No way, the last train is gone."

Shiiaki Masafugi held the bottle cap in his left hand and the bottle in his right hand, and said, "How about you and I get in Fujinami's car and let him take us back?"

Fujinami Jun's words were somewhat reluctant: "But the general manager's house and Satake's house are in opposite directions, right?"

Satake Yoshimi was also a little embarrassed: "That's it..."

Yonehara Sakurako suggested, "Then why don't you stay at my rented apartment for a night, Ms. Satake? It's very close to here."

Satake Yoshimi thought about it and had to agree: "Sorry to bother you then."

At this moment, Yuya suddenly said, "Sorry, I think you may not be able to leave here yet."

Shiiaki Masafuji and the others looked at Yuya in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Yuya's lips curled up slightly: "Because, I already know who that invisible phantom is."

Everyone:!

In the living room, the scene where Ikuro Wakamatsu was murdered.

Fujinami Jun'ei asked anxiously, "Hey, Detective Kamiya, do you really know who poisoned that stupid son?"

Yuya nodded, "That's right, and I also figured out how the murderer made Mr. Ikuro eat the poisoned cake."

Fujinami Junsei was puzzled: "But wasn't that done by the vice president?"

Satake Yoshimi echoed, "Yes. The vice president sprinkled poison on the door handle of Mr. Ikuro's bedroom, so Mr. Ikuro, who had the poison on his hand, took the Baumkuchen and ate it along with the poison."

Shiiaki Masafugi also said: "Yes, and poison was also found on the vice president's slippers, and the distance between them and the poison residue at the door is consistent."

Yuya shook his head: "No, that was just a trick of the murderer. In order to frame the crime on Mrs. Wakamatsu and let her commit suicide, it was just a move arranged by the murderer."

Inspector Megure said in surprise: "Brother Kamiya, is it possible that my wife was also murdered, not committed suicide?"

Yuya nodded, "Yes, and it was done by the same murderer."

Inspector Megure frowned and said, "Brother Kamiya, you said the poison on the door handle was a trick. Could it be that Mr. Ikuro didn't die from the poison?"

Conan raised his head and said, "Because, after Mr. Ikuro came out of the bedroom, he went to the bathroom and washed his hands there, and he washed the poison off his hands."

This is what he and Hattori Heiji had just learned from Mouri Ran and Toyama Kazuha at the bathroom door.

"Yes, yes," Yuanshan and Ye nodded repeatedly, "I even saw him wipe his hands with a handkerchief."

Shimizu Masaaki asked in confusion, "Since the poison on the door handle was not sprinkled by Madam, then what about the poison on her slippers?"

Hattori Heiji said: "It's very simple. There are special slippers in the bathroom. Most people will change into them when they go in, right? The murderer took advantage of the lady using the slippers stained with poison to exchange them for her."

Fujinami Junsei asked in confusion: "So the poison was still on the cake? How did the murderer let that stupid son eat the poisoned cake?"

Yonehara Sakurako was also puzzled: "If Mr. Ikuro didn't have poison in his hands from the beginning, how did he do it?"

"This is actually very simple. I'll actually show you how to do it. Mio!"

"Here we are." Miyano Shiho came over pushing a food cart. Everyone subconsciously looked over and found a plate on the dining table with two pieces of cut annual ring cakes placed vertically on the plate.

Youye said: "The murderer also knew that Mr. Ikuro was a glutton, and he was very hungry. At that time, when he saw the two pieces of cake, he would of course involuntarily choose the one that looked bigger."

"Bigger?" Everyone was stunned, and Inspector Megure immediately raised a question, "But, didn't they say that the size of the cakes was the same? We also bought uncut cakes for comparison."

Yuya smiled and said, "Regarding this, I'd like Inspector Megure to test it himself. Please stand here, and pick the cake on the plate with a hungry stomach."

Inspector Megure was full of doubts, but he still stood next to the food cart as he was told.

Then I thought to myself that I was very hungry, very hungry, and reached for the cake.

However, just as he was about to grab one of the pieces, his eyes suddenly widened and he shouted in shock: "What, what is this?! The cake that is a little further away is obviously going to be beaten!"

Takagi Wataru also came over and stood next to Inspector Megure and looked over. As expected, he found that there were two cakes, one big and one small.

He was surprised and said, "Looking at it this way, the hungry person will definitely take the bigger cake that is farther away, right?"

Inspector Megure looked at Yuya with some suspicion: "Brother Kamiya, did you secretly replace it with a bigger one?"

Youye smiled and said, "How is that possible? I'm not a magician. These two cakes are indeed exactly the same size."

"This is the cake you bought specially for the investigation of the scene. I'm just borrowing it for a while."

Inspector Megure looked at Miyano Shi with some suspicion, and the latter nodded seriously. This was indeed something she borrowed from the police officer, not something she bought later.

Inspector Megure still couldn't believe it, so he simply picked up one of the pieces and stacked it on top of the other. However, the result was that the two pieces of cake were indeed the same size!

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What on earth is going on?"

Yuya smiled faintly: “This is a visual illusion phenomenon called Jastrow’s illusion.

When comparing the size of objects, people will unconsciously use the two adjacent sides of the two objects to compare, and then compare the long side with the short side. The brain will then distinguish the object with the longer side as the larger one. "

Inspector Megure pondered and said, "So that's how it is. The murderer placed the poisoned cake a little further away. In this way, because of the Jastro illusion, it will look bigger and he will choose the poisoned piece."

"In that case," he looked at Shiiaki Masafuji and the others with a sullen face, "Miss Yonehara Sakurako who was in charge of cutting the cake, Satake Misaki who placed the cake on the plate, and Fujinami Jun'ei and Shiiaki Masafuji who were standing by the dining cart, only the four of you could have done this."

Inspector Megure turned back to look at Yuya: "So who did it?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "That's true, but among these four people, only one person has the ability to poison the lady."

"Let us first solve the mystery of the lady's murder."
