Hashimoto Maya: "..." Wait, didn't Jiang Xia test himself just now? Why did the key target change in the blink of an eye? - How many backup assistants does this detective have?
"This squinting eye is probably my colleague, right?" Hashimoto Maya looked up and down at Okayama Subaru, and instinctively thought about it like this.
But soon, he felt that it was different: if he treated approaching Jiangxia and then harming Jiangxia as his job, then the current state of this graduate student could be called passive and slacking off.
...
When one employee secretly studies another employee.
Next to him, Subaru Okayama was forced to go to work and answered Jiangxia's question: "At the beginning, each person had a glass of wine, but when we finished the glass and sat down, Senior Tokuya accidentally sat on the lame stool. In order not to fall, he subconsciously grabbed the tablecloth and took the wine glass in front of the birthday star in a panic.
"The bottle of imported wine has been distributed. In order to let the birthday boy have a drink, Senior Tokuchi compensated his own glass of wine to the birthday boy, so there were only two wine glasses in front of her."
Mikako Sato nodded and added to Ejara: "The poison was detected from the cup behind. In addition to the fingerprints of the deceased and the restaurant staff, there are also fingerprints of Mr. Tokuya, Mr. Okiya and Miss Kojima."
Jiang Xia: "So many people have touched the same wine glass?"
At this time, Subaru Okiya finally came back from the scene of the death of his birthday senior, and slowly remembered his work. He whispered: "When delivering the wine, Senior Tomikaze handed the wine glass to Miss Kojima, the closest to him, and then gave it to me, and finally it was passed to the deceased's hands."
Jiang Xia looked at him thoughtfully: "It seems that you have a good relationship with the deceased, so you sit next to each other."
Subaru Okayama immediately remembered that in the murder case, the better the relationship, the easier it is to become the murderer. He couldn't help but show a bitter expression like Uzo named him: "Actually not that good either."
Hashimoto Maya saw something and suddenly asked, "Who brought that bottle of wine?"
Okina Subaru: "…it's me."
Hashimoto Maya said meaningfully, "You didn't poison while pouring wine?"
"Of course not." The old professor who was sad and watched by the side spoke. He had lost a proud disciple and did not want to throw away the other one for no reason. "After Okayama divided the wine into each glass, we raised our glasses to celebrate Keiko. If he really poisoned the wine while pouring the wine, then the one who died now would definitely not be just a student."
Jiang Xia also nodded: "The murderer should be one of the people who left fingerprints on the wine glass. Speaking of which..."
He looked at the senior Tomikaze: "I remember the poisonous wine that the deceased drank originally belonged to you. Have you ever drunk that glass of wine?"
Before Senior Fujian could speak, the old professor nodded like a busy hen who was protecting his cubs: "After drinking, I was next to him and saw him take a big sip."
Senior Fujian responded and signaled that the old professor was right.
Jiang Xia: "Don't you feel uncomfortable now?"
Senior Fujian pressed his chest and felt it carefully: "It doesn't feel any special... When I drank it, the wine glass shouldn't have been poisoned yet."
While taking notes, Sato Mikako muttered to Jiangxia: "Since he is fine, the poison should have been put into the wine glass during the process of spreading the wine."
"!" Hearing this, the two students who helped pass the wine, their hearts suddenly became slack. The short-haired senior sister waved her hand quickly, "We don't have time to poison! I just pinched the goblet and passed it to the next person. During this period, everyone subconsciously stared at the wine glass. If we really threw things into the wine, we would definitely be discovered on the spot!"
The old professor knocked on the crutch: "Yes, neither of them put poison into the wine glass, I can testify."
"..." Officer Sato couldn't help looking at the old man who was respectful in the academic world, "That, the murderer is probably among this group of students. If you testify casually and be accomplice, you will only harm other innocent students."
"?" The old professor was stunned and immediately became furious. "You think I don't understand such a simple truth? - I'm telling the truth!"
Officer Sato was busy comforting the angry old man.
Next to it, Suzuki Yuanko looked at the beautiful cake on the table and remembered her birthday party.
Suddenly, her inspiration flashed and she snapped her fingers: "Speaking of this, before blowing the candles on the birthday cake, the lights are usually turned off - could it be the seconds when someone took the trouble to throw the poison into the deceased's cup?"
Officer Takagi who ran around to help him get the shot was stunned when he heard this: "Yes, there is still such a possibility!"
After receiving the recognition of the police, Suzuki Yuanko found the fun of being a detective. She cleared her throat like a serious detective and looked at the graduate students: "Let's do this, you can go back to your respective seats first, so it's easier to see who is the most convenient for poisoning!"
This proposal makes some sense, so soon after the police finished collecting evidence, a group of people returned to the table and sat around.
Subaru Okiya looked at the longevity seat beside him, and was silent for a moment, with a vague premonition of badness.
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko looked at the light switch: "How long has the light been off?"
Senior Tomika, who had left the switch, recalled: "It's only four or five seconds. Turn off the lights and wait until the birthday boy blows out the candle, I will turn on the light switch immediately."
Suzuki Yuanko nodded thoughtfully: "Candlelight can also be illuminated, that is, the time when it is truly available for poisoning is only a short one or two seconds after the candle is extinguished. The deceased's wine glass is placed on the right hand, and on her left is the short professor."
The old professor snorted, as if he was very dissatisfied with the adjective.
Suzuki Yuanko, who was immersively experiencing the life of a detective, did not notice at all. She continued: "The professor who sat on the left wanted to stretch his arms to the goblet on the right of the deceased to poison it, and he might have to lie on the table - this behavior is too conspicuous, so he can rule out his suspicion."
"In this way, only one person can be poisoned!" Suzuki Yuanko looked at Subaru Okayama, who was sitting on the right hand of the deceased, who was young and flexible, and seemed to be able to poison the cup of the deceased five times in one second, and showed a heartbroken expression, "Mr. Okayama, I really didn't expect you to be such a person."
"..." Subaru Okayama looked at her angrily: I thought of you as such...
Next to it, Hashimoto Maya looked at Suzuki Yuanko, then at Subaru Okiya, and his eyes became complicated, as if he understood a lot in an instant.
