Chapter 46 The Bizarre Poisoning Case
The atmosphere of the banquet was quite lively, and even Zhang Ping and Xiao Xin, the two enemies, did not show any hostility.On the contrary, Xiao Xin took the initiative to sit next to the owner Zhang Ping to show his friendliness.

At this time Zhang Ping stood up: "It's rare for everyone to join us today, how can we do without some wine?" So he went to the back to get wine and some glasses.Everyone went up one after another to get a glass each, and then Zhang Ping gave the bottle to Xiao Xin: "You pour the wine, and the previous grievances will be forgotten with this glass of wine!"

Xiao Xin took the bottle by accident and poured wine for everyone, but casually looked at Zhang Ping's wife.Mrs. Zhang's face instantly turned white, and she turned her head away.

In fact, everyone present knew that the reason why Zhang Ping and Xiao Xin became enemies was because Xiao Xin and his wife were a little bit... But now they are reconciled, everyone is still very happy.After Xiao Xin poured the wine, he came back and sat on Zhang Ping's right, but Mrs. Zhang sat on Xiao Xin's right instead.

At this time, Zhang Ping looked at his watch and suddenly said: "No, I forgot an important date. I'll have two drinks with everyone before leaving. Let's take this first drink as a tribute to Xiao Xin." Standing up, he toasted everyone present one by one.Everyone present also stood up and had a drink.

Seeing that Zhang Ping was like this, Xiao Xin also picked up his cup and stood up, saying, "I want to toast everyone too."

As they spoke, holding glasses and toasting one by one, at this moment, there was a sudden power outage!In fact, it only took a few seconds, and then the light came on again.Everyone made a false alarm, sat down and continued to drink and eat.Suddenly Xiao Xin's expression changed, and his body fell backwards!Zhang Ping sat closest to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but saw his face suddenly changed: "Dead! Poisoned!" Chemical poisoning."

Everyone knew that Zhang Ping was a doctor. He said it was just poisoning, and it was easy to tell from the face of the deceased.Everyone immediately became chaotic, some called, some protected the scene, and some accompanied Zhang Ping to put the wine glasses in plastic bags, waiting for the police to check.

Police officer Li rushed to the scene soon.The police inspected the wine glass carefully and determined it was poisonous.It seemed obvious that Zhang Ping and his wife, who were sitting next to him, were the most suspicious.But Zhang Ping didn't panic at all: "You think I killed him, right? But everyone here can testify that he poured the wine himself, and everyone took the cup randomly. And Xiao Xin stood up when the power went out. I walked out, he held the cup in his hand, and I have been sitting all the time, how can I pour the poison into the cup without him noticing?"

Officer Li shook his head and said, "It is undeniable that you are really smart, but I know you are the murderer!"

Can you prove why he is the murderer?

[Answer] The poison was not poured into the cup, but on the murderer's own tableware such as a knife and fork. He took advantage of the power outage to exchange his own tableware with the deceased's. The deceased died of poisoning after eating with poisonous tableware. .The poison in the cup could have been injected by him while pretending to check the cup.So the murderer is the master of the room, because he can set the blackout time.
