Although the wedding almost turned into a funeral.
But the speed of police dispatch this time is also very high. After all, it is a wedding in the police world, and the most people are the police.
Manager Matsumoto took Matsumoto Sayuri from Xia Ye's arms, with a serious face that was almost ferocious:
"Xia Ye, leave it to you!"
In fact, it stands to reason that the heads of the first class, the second department, and the third department are all here, so it is not the turn of Xia Ye, a young man with insufficient position or resume, to be responsible for the on-site one.
However--
Manager Matsumoto knows the abilities of his subordinates very well. If today's case is handed over to Megure, it would be funny if he came to the conclusion of suicide!
Officer Megure also wanted to get rid of it.
His fat face patted Xia Ye's shoulder seriously:
"Xia Ye, handle the case well!"
Manager Matsumoto loved his daughter so much that his subordinates naturally did not dare to disobey his orders. Therefore, Maya now directly became the highest-ranking commander on site.
Xia Ye did not refuse.
No matter what Matsumoto Sayuri's attitude is.
As a police officer, it is your duty to find criminals, especially criminals who are not very sympathetic. Xia Ye will not let the victim go just because he wants to protect him!
"Miss Matsumoto~"
Xia Ye looked at Matsumoto Sayuri, who was carried to the sofa by Matsumoto's manager, and said calmly:
"I'm going to start!"
...
Sayuri Matsumoto, who was still a little pale, was silent for a moment, with a sad smile on her lips:
"Then it's up to you, Xia Ye~"
She still wanted to hide something in her heart, but looking at Xia Ye's calm and clear eyes, she couldn't say anything that would disrupt the handling of the case. After all, Chongye had almost told her clearly that she knew everything.
and--
Sayuri Matsumoto looked to the other side.
There, her fiancé Toshihiko Takasugi had a complicated expression and was stunned in place, seeming to be thinking about something.
Sighed softly.
Sayuri Matsumoto closed her eyes and buried her face in her father's chest. Forget it, no matter what, she has done her best, so let's leave it like that!
"The inspection report is out~"
The forensic examiners in the forensics class quickly got the inspection report in front of Xia Ye. Well, they didn't forget to bring a full set of tools to attend the wedding of their boss's daughter. These forensic examiners are indeed more dedicated than the police officers~
"Sodium hydroxide~"
Xia Ye saw the ingredient of the "poison" at a glance, high-purity sodium hydroxide!
Sodium hydroxide 327 is a white crystalline powder in the dry state. It will dissolve when exposed to water and become a highly corrosive solution.
Anyone who has been to junior high school knows this stuff.
so.
After Xia Ye said sodium hydroxide.
Many people's eyes immediately became strange.
Xiao Ran and Sonoko looked at Teacher Sayuri in shock, finally understanding why Xia Ye disliked her at the beginning of today. This was too...
How humble!
"Sodium hydroxide——
Xiao Ran and Sonoko looked at each other silently. The police officers also had some scruples. Only Conan only focused on the case. He frowned solemnly and reminded:
"Compared to other poisons, sodium hydroxide is very corrosive. Most people will notice it immediately as long as they drink it. Spitting it out at this time will only hurt the mouth. But Sayuri-sensei's injury--"
"hiss--!"
Even some people who didn't know much about sodium hydroxide understood the implication, and there was an incredible sound of inhaling at the scene!
"That is to say——"
Officer Megure was full of compliments and continued smoothly:
"Sayuri voluntarily drank the lemon tea after realizing that it was poisoned. This means that she committed suicide!?"
This means that Officer Megure is an old subordinate of Manager Matsumoto. Such a stubbornness will only get a majestic glance from Manager Matsumoto. If other police officers say such things,
Got reprimanded!
"No!"
Xia Ye picked up the inspection report and said calmly:
"If it was suicide, Ms. Matsumoto would need one thing, which is a container and desiccant to keep the sodium hydroxide dry, and that container was not found in this dressing room.
Ms. Matsumoto cannot leave here, so committing suicide is a wrong conclusion~"
"Officer Akiyama,"
As soon as Xia Ye finished speaking, the forensic personnel from the forensics class walked in from outside the door and began to report:
"We found this bottle in the trash!"
"There is also desiccant in it~"
"It's just that the fingerprints on the bottle have been wiped off!"
"Hmm~"
Xia Ye waved her hand and motioned for him to put it away.
Then he looked around and said:
"Actually, the scope of the suspects is pretty easy to determine."
"It can be seen from the video taken by Xiao Ran and Sonoko that the people who came into contact with the bottle of lemon tea from beginning to end include Ms. Matsumoto's friend Kazumi, student Umemiya, and fiance Takasugi Toshihiko
And Manager Matsumoto~”
"That is to say——
"The suspect is among these people!"
"True leaf......"
Xiao Ran quickly pulled Xia Ye's sleeve and reminded:
"Why did you include Manager Matsumoto?"
"Normal~"
Xia Ye smiled slightly:
"This is a formal procedure for handling cases.
"Furthermore, judging from the current situation, the suspicion of our Matsumoto manager is quite high~"
Everyone was sweating for him.
Manager Matsumoto was obviously not in a good mood at this moment, but he still dared to say that, how brave he was!
As for the parties involved——
Manager Matsumoto didn't react at all.
His fierce face remained expressionless.
Matsumoto Sayuri, who was leaning in his arms, had already understood what Xia Ye meant. She was originally in a complicated mood, but after listening to Xia Ye's words, she wanted to laugh, and even her melancholy mood was relieved a lot~
"actually--"
Conan still restrained himself, and after asking Xia Ye for instructions with his eyes, he said seriously:
"That capsule..."
"The capsule has been tested!"
Before Conan could finish speaking, the forensic personnel submitted the report in due time, a little slower because they needed instruments:
"In water with the same temperature as lemon tea, it takes fifteen minutes for the surface of the capsule to melt, revealing the medicine inside!"
"fifteen minutes?"
Upon hearing this result, the groom Toshihiko Takasugi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke:
"Then the suspect can't be me. It didn't last fifteen minutes from the time I entered the locker room to the time I left!"
What Takasugi Toshihiko didn't expect was.
What he gained with his flawless deduction was not getting rid of suspicion, but a lot of strange looks.
This guy is too eager.
To be honest, many people did not suspect him at all. After all, killing a bride at a happy wedding banquet is rare in the crime city of Yoneka~
"Mr. Takasugi—w
Xia Ye had a joking smile on her face:
"Actually, you don't have to rush to deny it. We haven't finished talking yet. And - who said that poisoning requires waiting for the capsule to melt? Putting the capsule and poison together is a method that can disrupt the test results. The murderer will not think Only you can understand, right?"
"What do you mean?!"
Takasugi Toshihiko's face looked a little ugly.
He didn't notice that on the sofa over there, Matsumoto Sayuri's weak and pale face was completely disappointed. This ugly struggling look made some memories with childhood filters collapse and become no longer beautiful~
Matsumoto Sayuri smiled bitterly in her heart.
Sure enough, it’s just wishful thinking~
the other side.
Xia Ye glanced at Takasugi Toshihiko and spread her hands:
"Actually, we can narrow down the scope of suspects again. Ms. Matsumoto knew that the lemon tea had been poisoned, but she still drank it without hesitation. Who among these people could make her do this?"
"Hiss---!"(afbg)
Such a straightforward reminder instantly focused most people's attention on the groom, Toshihiko Takasugi.
Of course, there were a few guys who remembered Xia Ye’s words and looked at Manager Matsumoto——
Well, this kind of IQ.
Basically say goodbye to using your brain to handle cases~
"It's really you!"
Manager Matsumoto gently put his daughter on the sofa, walked quickly to Toshihiko Takasugi with his tall body like a wall, grabbed his collar and lifted him up, his face full of anger:
"Why do this to my daughter!?"
"Management Officer Matsumoto~"
Xia Ye said with a calm smile:
"We haven't found conclusive evidence yet. If you are preconceived like this, Mr. Takasugi will be gossiped about and will sue you for violent law enforcement!"
"No!"
Takasugi Toshihiko suddenly relaxed, with a hint of pride on his lips, and reached out to slap away Manager Matsumoto's arm, his eyes resentful:
"There is no reason! I just want you to taste the feeling of losing a loved one! You murderer!"
Once the resentment accumulated over the years was vented, Takasugi Toshihiko told a somewhat sad past event.
twenty years ago.
Manager Matsumoto pursues the fugitive.
The car driven by the fugitive panicked and knocked down Takasugi Toshihiko's mother. Manager Matsumoto did not notice that anyone was injured and just continued to chase the fugitive. As a result, Takasugi Toshihiko's mother died before being sent to the hospital in time.
Takasugi Toshihiko was later adopted by the Takasugi Group.
Many years later, he met Sayuri Matsumoto, so he approached her and planned to kill her so that Manager Matsumoto could taste the feeling of losing a loved one~
This is what happened in this case.
"Well, there is no real empathy in this world, so I won't comment on your revengeful behavior——"
Xia Ye said calmly:
"But, I want to ask you, did you kill the prisoner who directly killed your mother?"
"ah?"
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Even Takasugi Toshihiko, who had a wanton attitude after pleading guilty and was no longer afraid of anything, was stunned for a moment before he answered without knowing why:
"No--"
"Why not?"
Xia Ye narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly:
"With the strength of the Takasugi Group, it should be no problem to investigate a person's information.
"In twenty years, even if the prisoner committed murder and was released from prison, why not find him and kill him? After all, he is your real mother-killing enemy, the most direct kind!"
"...
Takasugi Toshihiko wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but nothing came out.
Xia Ye is right. When it comes to the cause of his mother's death, the criminal who caused the accident is naturally the direct murderer, and the manager Matsumoto who "failed to save others" was at best a bit derelict in his duties~
After all, the police in Neon have not written into the law "the safety of the people must be the first priority at all times when serving the people." These things that some people take for granted have not been written into the law.
A mere dereliction of duty.
The penalty points and bonuses for writing a review will be over~
"certainly----"
"It's human nature to express anger~"
Xia Ye chuckled and found a reason for Takasugi Toshihiko:
"As a child, you were shocked. It is reasonable to blame Manager Matsumoto and ignore the real enemy."
"After all, it was not possible to send the doctor to the hospital in time.
It was actually the main reason for your mother’s death——In this case, I can understand even if you want to kill Manager Matsumoto~”
"Ahem!"
Officer Megure coughed lightly.
Remind Xia Ye.
Manager Matsumoto is still here.
You really dare to say anything!
"but--"
Xia Ye's expression became serious:
"Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Since you hate Manager Matsumoto, why not go ahead and kill him? After you succeed, even if you are caught, you can openly say that you have done it for your mother."
If you want revenge~"
"And now————"
"You involved the innocent Ms. Matsumoto!"
"I do not care!"
Takasugi Toshihiko blurted out.
There was only a trace of guilt on his originally handsome face, but instead it was filled with deep-seated resentment.
"I actually don't care~"
Xia Ye shrugged slightly, her eyes cold:
"Actually, I don't need to say so many words to you, but without your attitude, I'm afraid some people would be stubborn~"
Takasugi Toshihiko subconsciously looked at Matsumoto Sayuri.
But she didn't pay attention here, but was talking to Xiao Ran and Sonoko who stayed by her side to take care of her.
"Take it away!"
Xia Ye waved her hand and closed the case.
Takasugi Toshihiko did not resist and allowed two Metropolitan Police Department officers to handcuff him and then walked out of the locker room.
From beginning to end.
Matsumoto Sayuri didn't even look this way.
"Xiao Ran~"
"Xia Ye is quite gentle~"
At this time, Matsumoto Sayuri was not as sad as she imagined, and even held Xiao Ran's hand to point out.
The person who may be stubborn—
Sayuri Matsumoto's pretty pale face turned slightly red, wasn't she talking about herself?
He was afraid that he would still miss something, so he said so much. This style was quite considerate~
"yes!"
"but--"
Sonoko curled her lips and "complained":
"He is only so gentle towards girls. As for men, huh, don't even think about it!"
"Is that so?"
Matsumoto Sayuri blinked.
Look at Xia Ye walking towards this side.
I don’t know what I’m thinking about——.
