Chapter 134 You are still as fast as ever
Yuya coughed forcefully and said, "Okay, I'll continue to explain."
"First of all, the deceased did not touch the poisoned plate with his finger, but the poison got onto the plate. As for where the poison came from..."
Inspector Megure's eyes widened slightly: "What did you say? The poison was on the plate?"
Youye nodded: "Yes, the murderer injected the poison into the wet wipes in advance - maybe with a syringe, anyway, there are many ways - and then brought it to the store. When he found a suitable time, he exchanged the poisoned wet wipes with the wet wipes used by the deceased, and successfully poisoned the patient."
When he heard the word wet wipes, the man in the hat's face suddenly changed.
Inspector Megure was a little confused: "Why do you think it's a wet wipe?"
Yuya smiled and said, "How do you usually eat sushi, Inspector?"
Inspector Megure was stunned for a moment and replied: "Just take it with your hands."
"Where's Officer Takagi?"
“I’m used to using chopsticks.”
Yuya looked at Inspector Megure: "Inspector, after eating several pieces of sushi, your hands will always be stained with soy sauce and rice, right? At that time, will you choose to continue to pick up the sushi with your hands, or choose to wipe your hands before picking up the sushi?"
Inspector Megure said without thinking: "Of course you should wipe it off first. Not only will it be uncomfortable if it gets stained with something, but it will also affect the taste of other sushi. Ah!"
Yuya smiled slightly: "Yes, the deceased has the same habit as you, and also likes to take sushi directly with his hands."
"I see." Inspector Megure pinched his chin, not wanting to bother about his brother comparing the dead man to himself. "If that's the case, as long as the poison is injected into the wet wipes in advance, the deceased will definitely be poisoned while eating sushi."
"Well, uncle in the hat, is there anything wrong with my reasoning?" Youye looked at the man in the hat with a smile.
The man in the hat looked a little unhappy, and he anxiously explained: "This is just your reasoning, right? What do you mean by poison in the wet wipes? The forensic officer just said that no toxins were detected in those wet wipes!"
"Besides, if I really switched the tissues, he would definitely notice it, right? With that guy's personality, he would definitely question what I was doing!"
Yuya said calmly, "As long as you knew where the deceased put the tissues in advance, and then replaced the tissues while the boss was arguing with him, wouldn't he have seen it?"
The man in the hat laughed: "That's too much of a stretch. How could I possibly know..."
“No, you know.” Youye interrupted him coldly, “You were sitting on his left side at the time, and when I examined the body, I found that only the left hand of the deceased was stained with rice, while the right hand was clean, which means he was left-handed.
Things like wet wipes that are used at any time will definitely be placed in the position of the dominant hand, so wouldn't you have the opportunity to switch if you sit on the left side?"
"Also, let me ask you one more thing. Since you had a grudge against the deceased, why did you sit next to him? I saw him trying to make trouble for you again."
"Are you a masochist? Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't get scolded?"
"I..." The man in the hat was speechless and felt a little helpless.
"Hmm!" Inspector Megure coughed to remind Yuya that reasoning should be done separately from personal attacks, as it would have a bad impact.
Yuu smiled nonchalantly.
The man in the hat shouted desperately: "What about the evidence? What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? There was no poison detected in those wet wipes!"
Yuya smiled slightly: "Of course, if I am not absolutely sure, I will not stand here."
"And I didn't say there were any toxic wipes in there."
"Mr. Forensic Officer?"
The forensic officer at the side immediately stepped forward, saluted to Inspector Megure and said, "Inspector, I conducted a toxin test on the corner of the wet wipes packaging bag on the deceased's table as requested by Kamiya-kun, and found that there is indeed poison residue."
"Sure enough!" Inspector Megure did not look surprised at all. He knew very well that when brother Kamiya said that, it meant that the case could be declared solved.
"In addition, we found a used wet wipe and wrapping paper in the recycling bin for sushi, and toxins were detected on them."
The man in the hat turned pale instantly, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes. How was it possible? How did he know?
Inspector Megure looked at Yuya in confusion. How did this wet wipe end up in the kitchen waste bin?
Yuya pushed up his non-existent glasses and said, "It's very simple. Just use this system that automatically sends expired sushi to the waste bin after a certain period of time."
"He only needed to pack the wipes in a bag and put them on the conveyor belt together with the sushi with rice when the crime happened. Because the colors are similar and the situation was chaotic, no one would pay special attention to the sushi, so no one would notice it."
"But no matter how chaotic the situation is, someone will still notice such strange movements, right?" asked Inspector Megure. Putting back the plates you have taken in a conveyor belt sushi restaurant is a very uncivilized behavior.
Yuya shook his head: "Not really, because everyone was doing that at the time."
"I remember someone yelling 'Put it back!' Is the customer still here?"
"Yes, I shouted." A man raised his hand tremblingly.
Yuya nodded, "That's it."
Inspector Megure suddenly realized that this was the case. As long as no one put the plate back alone, such behavior would not seem out of place.
The man in the hat was still struggling: "But! Didn't the conveyor belt stop immediately? How ··"
Youye clicked his tongue and said, "In fact, we only need to do a fingerprint test. You can't run away even if you want to. Since you asked sincerely, I will be merciful and tell you."
Yuya picked up a plate on the table and said, "You just need to put the sushi and wet wipes on the empty plate you have eaten from before. The system does not rely on the eyes, but on the mark under the plate to make judgments."
The plate turned, revealing a special pattern underneath.
"For an empty plate from a long time ago, the system will think that the plate has been on the conveyor belt for a long time. It will not care how long it has been on the conveyor belt, but will just send it to the waste bin. In this way..."
Youye spread his hands: "Do you need me to continue?"
Inspector Megure turned around abruptly and looked at the man in the hat, and asked coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
The man in the hat lowered his head suddenly, and suddenly a ferocious look appeared on his face again. "It was all that man's fault. I did mix up the sea bass and flounder that day, but it's not all my fault because that man secretly replaced the plate of sea bass with a more expensive plate. It's easy to confuse sea bass and flounder from their appearance, and I didn't taste it because my taste buds were not very sensitive at the time."
"He ended up using this incident to embarrass me in front of my wife."
"If it was just that, it would be fine. He also went to my blog message board and kept writing sarcastic comments about me. Although my wife told me not to take it seriously, I really couldn't stand it."
"This incident caused me to lose all taste in everything I ate, my online reputation became worse and worse, and I eventually divorced my wife."
"It's all his fault. How can such an ugly person still claim to be a food writer?"
The man in the hat was getting more and more distressed as he spoke, and couldn't help crying: "I just like to taste delicious food, and I like to watch my wife enjoy delicious food with me."
"But that man ruined it all!"
Youye sighed softly. Sometimes when solving a case he would always encounter such sad and helpless motives for murder, and sometimes he felt depressed.
But it has nothing to do with him.
Inspector Megure winked at Takagi Wataru.
Takagi Wataru took out handcuffs and handcuffed the man in the hat: "Let's talk about the rest when we get back to the Metropolitan Police Department."
Inspector Megure exhaled, turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Kamiya, where are the people today?"
···
On the street, Yuya and Miyano Shiho each held a cup of hot drink and drank it while walking slowly.
"You're still as fast as ever." Miyano Shiho said with a smile.
The smile on Yuya's face froze: "Don't say such misleading words!"
Miyano Shiho looked at Yuya with a puzzled look on his face: "What did I say? I said you solve cases quickly!"
Youya opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Are you trying to trick me? And you learned this from Inspector Megure, right?
"Could it be..." Miyano Shiho slowly lowered her gaze, suddenly chuckled, and quickened her pace forward.
Yuya's face suddenly turned dark. What was she laughing at? What was she laughing at?! Huh?!
Damn it, Miss Shiho, just wait, one day I will let you know that I am not only fast at solving cases, but also bah!
Let me let you know whether I am fast or slow. Just don’t beg for mercy when the time comes!
