Chapter 402 Honest Mr. Lin
Faced with this unexpected test result, both of them fell into confusion:
"The murderer deliberately hid potassium cyanide in ice in order to delay Mr. Kamata's poisoning and disguise the matter as a suicide."
"If Miss Hongshang was the murderer, why wouldn't she remove the poisonous ice cubes from her cup?"
"Once potassium cyanide is also found in her cup, the case can only be classified as 'homicide poisoning'. No one will believe that Mr. Kamata died of suicide."
"Use ice cubes to delay poisoning, but don't clean up the poisonous ice cubes in your own cup."
"Wouldn't this conflict with her original purpose?"
Mao Lilan murmured to herself, frowning more and more:
Isn't Miss Hongshang the murderer?
Is there someone else who is the murderer?
And this poisonous ice cube was originally specially prepared by him for Mr. Kamata.
This part has the same meaning as Kudo Shinichi’s previous reasoning:
The real murderer wanted to use ice to delay poisoning and disguise Mr. Kamata's death as a suicide.
But what he didn't think of in advance was that when he poisoned himself, Mr. Kamata and Ms. Kogami would order the same drink.
Therefore, when the real murderer was in a hurry, he had no time to consider, or simply did not care, whether he would poison others by mistake.
He no longer wanted to create the illusion of suicide, but settled for the next best thing, as long as he could kill the target.
So, the real murderer found an opportunity and added poisonous ice cubes to the two "ice coffee" packaged drinks to ensure that Mr. Kamata whom he wanted to kill would get one of them.
In the end, Mr. Kamata, who loved ice cubes, was poisoned to death.
Hongshang Wuyi was not in the habit of eating ice cubes, and she finished the drink just before the ice cubes completely melted and the potassium cyanide was released.
So she survived.
"There are still holes in our previous reasoning."
“If we follow this new idea and assume suspicion, it is not impossible.
"yes."
"It's not impossible."
Kudo Shinichi gently rubbed his chin, followed closely behind his Xiaolan and analyzed:
"It's possible that behind the whole thing, there really is such a real murderer that we can't even identify."
"And if we can't find evidence to rule out this possibility, then..."
"That" Mao Lilan's face became solemn.
As the daughter of a lawyer, she knew all too well what this might mean:
"That is based on the principle of acquittal."
"Our previous doubts about Miss Hongshang can only remain in doubt forever."
"After all, it's entirely possible that the real murderer is one."
"Someone who may or may not exist."
Will the murderer be Hongshang Mai?
No one can answer this question now.
Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi also reacted suddenly:
"We were all wrong."
"If Hongshang Wuyi is the murderer:"
"For her, leaving the poisonous ice in the cup was actually more beneficial than hiding the ice."
"Although the latter can better create the illusion that the deceased committed suicide, it will leave irrefutable evidence on himself due to the constraints of the crime and no time to handle the ice."
"Look at the former."
"Although it will turn this case into a definite poisoning case, it will also make her the number one suspect in this case."
"But we can't find any evidence, and we can't rule out another possibility, so we can't prove that she is the murderer at all!"
At this point in the discussion, the two looked at each other, their expressions unknowingly synchronized.
They quickly came to a conclusion while looking at each other:
"We have to investigate the entire process before the poisoned coke was delivered to Mr. Kamata."
"If the killer leaves a loophole, the loophole will only be in the process."
Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi said this in unison.
Then they each put on a serious face, shoulder to shoulder, and ran to find someone to understand the situation without looking back.
"Well" Lin Xinyi looked at it with a subtle expression:
"These two people are talking. How do they harmonize with each other?"
"Chris feels a little weird today."
"Alas." As soon as he finished expressing his thoughts, a sigh of unknown meaning sounded in his ears.
Miss Yuanzi appeared next to Lin Xinyi like a ghost:
"Mr. Lin, have you noticed it too?"
"Sister Chris."
"What happened to Chris?"
"She" Miss Suzuki hesitated for a while.
After holding it in for a long time, I was shy, nervous, and a little embarrassed to say:
"Mr. Lin, let me ask you a question."
"Would you be unhappy if Sister Chris liked someone else besides you?"
Lin Xinyi: "????"
Why does this sound weird?
As a fake boyfriend, should he be unhappy at this time, or should he pretend not to know?
Wait, I got the point wrong:
Belmod actually has someone he likes?
You are already very old, but you still have a second spring in your life? ?
Which uncle is the target?
With a burst of uncontrollable thoughts, the melodious music of "Sunset Red" sounded in Lin Xinyi's mind.
There was no way. Because Belmod always refused to tell her age, and Haibara Ai used to call Belmode "old witch" rudely in front of him.
Therefore, in Lin Xinyi's subconscious mind, Belmod has always been like a "Tianshan Child Mother".
Auntie of seniority starts, there is no upper limit.
I heard that Belmode might be dating someone.
The more Lin Xinyi thought about it, the more he shuddered.
And seeing his "gloomy face" and "silent" appearance.
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but regret and became nervous:
"Sorry, I may have talked a little too much today."
"But you and Sister Chris are both good friends of mine. I really didn't mean to sow discord between you and your sister."
"If I say something wrong because of my stupidity, Mr. Lin, please don't be angry."
Lin Xinyi: "."
Why does this sound even weirder?
"It's okay, Miss Sonoko"
Lin Xinyi responded with a subtle expression:
"Tell me first, who does Chris like?"
He was really curious about this question.
In order to ask this question clearly, he even did not hesitate to bite the bullet and endure the inexplicable concern and sympathy in Miss Suzuki's eyes.
"Yes" Suzuki Sonoko looked confused.
After a fierce psychological struggle, she finally mustered up the courage to tell the answer:
"It's Sister Lan, Chrissy, who likes Xiaolan!"
"She and Xiaolan have gotten very close recently."
Miss Yuanzi used a more euphemistic way of saying:
"It's so close that it doesn't look like we just met someone recently."
Lin Xinyi: "."
The corner of his mouth twitched for a while, and then he sighed helplessly:
"Chrissy likes Miss Maori?"
"I know this!"
"You, you know?" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened in surprise.
She was stunned for a while, and then she realized:
"I-I'm not talking about ordinary love, it's"
"I know."
Lin Xinyi reluctantly interrupted Suzuki Sonoko's words.
Chris likes Xiaolan, of course he knows this.
That night in New York, I don’t know how it happened. Maybe Mao Lilan cast a ecstasy spell on Belmode.
In short, after being saved my life.
Belmode is so cute to this angel lady.
Even more than his "godson".
If it weren't for Lin Xinyi's unexpected favorable impression in Shui Crystal last time, Belmod might still regard Mao Lilan more seriously than him.
Mao Lilan is simply her biological daughter who is not related by blood.
Even Lin Xinyi, who knew the inside story, found this strange.
For Suzuki Sonoko: She would naturally feel strange when she saw that a foreign woman who had known Mao Lilan for a short time was so close to Mao Lilan.
This probably caused her to misunderstand something.
However, it can actually lead people to misunderstand this direction.
Mao Lilan and Belmod, what did they do in private? Is it too intimate?
As he thought about it, Lin Xinyi's expression couldn't help but become weird.
"Ahem. It's okay."
He tried hard to keep a calm tone:
"Chris already likes Miss Maori. The two of them are like a natural family, and they are very attracted to each other."
"It's just pure friendship between sisters."
"Miss Sonoko, please don't think too much!"
"Well" Miss Suzuki was speechless:
Mr. Lin is too honest.
I didn’t believe it even if I told him.
However, looking at Lin Xinyi's innocent eyes that had been kept in the dark, she suddenly couldn't bear to expose him.
"Mr. Lin, alas"
"what happened again?"
"It's okay. Just be happy."
The second is later
