15 The Baroness of the Night

On the booth, Gao Yuan was leaning on a pillar on one side and thinking, while Officer Megure began to interrogate several other people. At this time, Yukiko came to the side and dialed a phone number.

After a while, Yukiko came to Gao Yuan and whispered.

"I just called Yuzu and told him what happened. After listening to it, he asked you to think about the 'time of poisoning', so that you can understand the method this time."

"Hey? Is that what Mr. Yusaku said?"

Gao Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this, but then he started thinking.

Is the poison onset time?

As cyanide, oral administration of more than a very small amount can cause sudden death immediately. Looking at it this way, the speed at which Ms. Yamahara Akihiro's poison develops is very strange.

Could it be that like the previous "Super Power Live Broadcast Killing", he took advantage of Yamahara Qiuxi to fall and then carried out the attack?

But this is not right. After all, there is a script for "superpower live broadcast killing", and the death of the deceased was planned in advance.

Hmm? Script?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan seemed to understand something.

But the problem also arises. After Miss Yamahara Akihiro fell, the first person to touch her was himself. In other words, the possibility of using the script's design to take advantage of the chaos is not tenable.

So, how should we think about the poisoning time? Is there any way to delay the poisoning speed of cyanide? But what is the point of delaying it for such a short while?

Wait! Delay? There’s still a script!

Suddenly, Gao Yuan showed a clear smile, which was seen by Yukiko on the side.

Seeing this, Yukiko immediately came over.

"Hey! Xiao Gaoyuan! You already fully understand what the whole thing is about! You might as well tell me!"

"Yeah. I understand."

As Gao Yuan spoke, he leaned into Yukiko's ear and whispered his reasoning to Yukiko.

Under the booth, the brown-haired girl was paying attention to the time - there were only two minutes left before 10:30!

Seeing this, the girl turned her attention to the door of the nearby "Fusa Painting" store, and saw that there was already a clerk in the store preparing to open the door.

Seeing this, the girl planned to drag Hirota Masami to the specialty store.

Suddenly, the lights at the scene dimmed, and the spotlights near the booth began to light up, shining on Yukiko on the booth.

"Some people say that I am one of the few legendary beautiful actresses in Japan... Some people say that I am the wife of a world-renowned mystery writer... In fact, I am... a female detective with gray brain cells... the Baroness of the Night

!”

After striking a pose, Yukiko let go of her long hair, and her slender hair was flying behind her, and then the lights turned on.

This scene attracted the attention of everyone present. The reporters on the scene began to frantically take pictures of the scene in front of them, and the girl who was planning to leave couldn't help but stop.

"This...could it be that, Ms. Yukiko, you know the truth of the case!"

Officer Memu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene.

"That's right! Officer! Let me, the Baroness of the Night, make the deduction for this incident!"

Yukiko said, like an actor in a stage play, using superb acting skills on the stage to attract everyone's attention, looking forward to what will happen next.

"Then, how did the murderer let the deceased get the poisonous wine?"

Officer Megure asked at the right time.

"The poison was not mixed with the wine, officer. The murderer was waiting for the glass to drop!"

Yukiko said.

"What does it mean?"

Officer Memu couldn't help but wonder.

"Since it is impossible for anyone to induce Miss Yamahara to choose a wine glass, and it cannot be a random killing, then there is only one answer! There is no poison in the wine that the deceased drank!"

Yukiko explained.

Hearing these words, the girl with short brown hair couldn't help but smile: "So, that's what happened!"

"Hey? Shiho, you know?"

Hirota Masami on the side couldn't help but be surprised after hearing what the girl said.

The girl simply said "yes".

"But, this female detective is really amazing."

Seeing Yukiko making a show of herself at the booth, Hirota Masami admired her.

"She's not the one who's great."

The girl whispered and turned her gaze to the man in a blue trench coat who was standing in the corner of the booth. An imperceptible smile appeared on the girl's lips. However, her gaze only stayed on the man for a moment.

The girl followed Masami Hirota to the "Fusha Painting" store that was now open.

On the booth, Yukiko continued her reasoning.

"Actually, the deceased had already taken the poison before he came on stage! Before he came on stage, the deceased had taken two capsules of medicine!"

Saying that, Yukiko looked at Ashiki Ako aside.

"That's right. But it's just a health supplement that Miss Yamahara often takes."

Ashiki explained.

"It looks like it's just a health supplement."

Yukiko smiled and continued: "The murderer had already replaced the capsules in the medicine! It looks like the capsules of health care products. In fact, it is a highly toxic substance wrapped in edible plastic! Miss Qiu Xi is taking the stage.

I had already taken the poison before, and when I was on stage, the stomach acid dissolved the edible plastic wrapped in it, and the poison naturally leaked out, killing Miss Qiuxi!"

"But according to this statement, how do you explain the actual detection of toxins in champagne!"

Officer Megure asked.

"It's very simple, Officer Megure."

Yukiko said, "Because the toxin has been applied to the carpet of the booth beforehand!"

"What!"

Officer Memu said in shock.

"That's right. The murderer only needs to apply toxin on the stand in advance, and when Miss Qiu Xi drops the unfinished wine glass on the ground because of the poison, the toxin will naturally be detected from the wine on the ground when tested afterwards.

!”

Yukiko said.

"But, can it really go so smoothly?"

Officer Megure expressed doubts.

"It's simple, Officer Megure."

Yukiko put her hands behind her back, pretending to be serious, "Just calculate the time for the poison to be released in advance, and let Miss Qiu Xi act according to the arranged script!"

Saying that, Yukiko looked at Hori Ryosuke who was standing aside.

"What I said is right, Mr. Hori Ryosuke!"

At this time, Yukiko stretched out her right hand, pointed at Hori Ryosuke, and said in a loud voice.

"The murderer! It's you!"

"Ms. Qiuxi took the medicine after you brought the mineral water into the office, and you presided over and controlled the entire new product meeting process. Moreover, you can arrange the script for this event and make it available on the booth in advance.

The person who applied the poison can only be you! Apart from that, there can be no one else!"

Yukiko said solemnly.

At this time, flash lights flashed one after another at the scene, and the reporters present took pictures of this legendary actress from various angles!
