Ke Xue: Ai-chan and I have an agreement

"The person who poured drinks for the four of them at that time..." Uncle Maori looked at Ayako Ninagawa, who was about the same age as his daughter, and spoke slowly while choosing his words.

"Yes, it was me." Ayako Ninagawa admitted frankly.

"I see. In that case, all the suspects have appeared."

Hattori Heiji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, but his sharp eyes swept over Noda Yumemi and others equally.

As soon as he finished speaking, some people immediately became restless.

"What do you mean?" Hong Shang Wuyi quickly stood up and said loudly.

"Dr. Urata and I ordered the same iced coffee."

"If I poisoned the coffee, how can I ensure that I get a cup of iced coffee that is not poisoned?"

"Besides, I went to the bathroom at the time and didn't give him the coffee directly, did I?"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

However, Shiina Yuichi shook his head repeatedly to express his disagreement with Hong Shang Mai's explanation.

"What's wrong?" Huiyuan Ai looked at Shiina Yuichi and asked, "Is there something wrong with what she said?"

Shiina Yuichi did not answer Haibara Ai's question immediately, but stopped eating popcorn.

His eyes were equally sharp as he stared at Hong Shang Mai, as if he could see through her appearance and see her innermost thoughts.

After a while, Shiina Yuichi slowly said, "Are you interested?"

Haibara Ai nodded. She also wanted to see what Shiina Yuichi thought about this case.

However, she doesn't care who the murderer is, but what Shiina Yuichi thinks.

Seeing this, Shiina Yuichi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"From a literal point of view, there is nothing wrong with what she said."

Then Shiina Yuu paused and continued.

"However, her psychological quality is too poor. When people are suspected, they are often eager to defend themselves and try to get rid of the suspicion."

"However, this behavior often backfires and only increases one's suspicion."

After listening to Shiina Yuichi's analysis, Haibara Ai nodded to show her agreement.

"Of course, this is human nature. Even if I am suspected, I will take action."

"So that's not why I think there's something wrong with her."

"What really made me doubt her was that the logic of her language was very clear, which was very different from the emotions she displayed."

Shiina Yuu paused, then suddenly turned his head to look at Haibara Ai.

“It’s as if the language was specially organized.”

"Let me ask you, can a person with average psychological quality and poor emotional expression organize words that seem flawless at first glance so quickly?"

"And...she's a member of the drama club."

As soon as Shiina Yuichi finished speaking, Haibara Ai began to understand what he meant.

"You mean, she acted that way on purpose?"

Haibara Ai's question made Shiina Yuichi touch her head with a look of relief in his eyes.

As expected of someone he likes, he can see through everything at once.

"That's right. Anyone who can join the drama club will have some acting skills, even those who are in charge of logistics."

“It also requires a certain appreciation of dialogue and drama.”

"Not to mention she was once a formal member of the drama club."

Shiina Yuichi seemed to be interested and continued, "So, her behavior is sending out an invisible message."

"What information?" Haibara Ai turned into a model student and asked the question actively.

"Confidence, she is very confident."

Shiina Yuichi said, looking at Hong Shang Mai again, "She thinks her murder plan will not have any loopholes."

"So, even if she is highly suspected, so what? According to the current police investigation, there is no evidence that she poisoned the patient."

Shiina Yuichi's words gave Haibara Ai a glimmer of understanding, and at the same time she looked at the man beside her.

In fact, everything Shiina Yuichi said was based on speculation that Hongue Mai was the murderer.

He didn't even have any evidence to prove that what he just said was right.

It's just a guess.

However, to Haibara Ai's surprise, the subsequent development of events was similar to what Shiina Yuichi said.

As expected, Inspector Megure became suspicious of Mai Hongue and asked her several questions in succession.

But they were all explained away by the other party.

And there is no flaw.

When Inspector Megure suspected that she had poisoned both cups, he learned that she had finished her drink as well.

If he really poisoned her, he would end up like Kohei Urata.

As for what Uncle Maori suggested, she might have poured out the drink when she went to the toilet.

But this was strongly refuted by Hong Shang Mai.

First, she went to the restroom alone and did not have any drinks in her hands.

Second, when she came back, the play had already begun, and she did not leave until the incident happened, let alone disposing of her drink.

The explanation is reasonable and well-founded.

Inspector Megure and his colleagues couldn't find any fault with it either.

Soon, Inspector Megure turned his attention to Mitani Yota again.

Since he was the one who selected the iced coffee for the deceased, he naturally needed to open the lid to confirm the type of drink.

At the same time, there is also an opportunity to poison.

Inspector Megure's eyes were sharp, as if he had found the key to the case.

But the reality gave him a heavy blow.

Because the corresponding drink names are written on the lids of all drinks, you can confirm what drink is in the cup without opening the lid.

This point was also confirmed by Ayako Ninagawa.

Besides, creamer and syrup are placed on the lid of iced coffee to neutralize the bitter taste of coffee.

Uncle Maori, who was unwilling to give up, raised his own question again.

According to them, it is also possible that the creamer and syrup mixed with poison were swapped.

Unfortunately, his opponents were three doctors.

"Then there's no way he could finish his drink."

"Potassium cyanate is a fast-acting poison. It's impossible for him to last until he finishes the drink before the poison takes effect."

"What kind of detective are you anyway?"

Noda Yumemi scolded Uncle Mori so much that he felt a little embarrassed.

But what the other party said is also correct.

Just when the case reached a stalemate.

Just wanting to watch the show, there was suddenly someone beside Shiina Yuichi.

"Is there something wrong?" Shiina Yuichi rolled his eyes and looked at Hattori Heiji who was sitting next to him.

Next to Hattori Heiji was Toyama Kazuha, who looked unhappy.

Obviously, what Shiina Yuichi said before took effect, and the little girl became jealous.

Hattori Heiji looked at Shiina Yuichi and was immediately furious. If it weren't for this guy, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

Until now, the students of Teitan High School still look at him with strange eyes.

But right now, the case takes priority.

I don't care about the rest.

Kudo is not here today, so he can only find Shiina Yuichi to discuss the case.

"What do you think of this case?"

"What do you think?" Shiina Yuichi kindly handed the popcorn tube in his hand to Hattori Heiji.

"Just for fun, would you like some? 500 yen each."

Haibara Ai:……

Hattori Heiji:……

Toyama Kazuha: ...So expensive.
