I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

Yaguchi Masayo could hardly believe her ears.

“This is not a difficult question to verify.”

Serabelle walked over slowly, her eyes falling on the chocolate box held by the agent.

"Ms. Yaguchi, you said that you had just opened the chocolate. Generally speaking, this kind of chocolate is wrapped in a layer of plastic film. Is the plastic film you removed still there?"

"Oh, yes, yes!"

As if she had been reminded, Yaguchi Masayo quickly took out the plastic film she had torn off from the net bag in front of the seat and carefully displayed it in front of everyone.

"This is it……"

As soon as they saw the evidence in hand, the wind direction in the cabin changed instantly.

“It turns out it was just unpacked.”

"So Miss Yaguchi can't be the murderer, right?"

"After all, poisoning someone in public on a plane would be too easy to be noticed."

"Hum hum……"

Just when everyone was about to conclude that Yaguchi Masayo was not the murderer, Maori Kogoro chuckled calmly with a look of confidence.

"You are all too naive. Yes, if the chocolate was just unpacked, Ms. Yaguchi would not have had the chance to poison it... but the premise is that the chocolate was not unpacked until she was on the plane!"

"What do you mean?"

Serabelle slowly typed a question mark.

I don’t know if it was his illusion, but I always felt that this uncle seemed to have fallen into some strange self-deception again.

“The principle is very simple!”

Kogoro Mori's voice was as loud as a bell, and his expression was filled with immense confidence.

"That's right! Miss Yaguchi had actually opened the chocolate long before she boarded the plane. After poisoning it, she still brought the wrapping paper onto the plane in order to create the illusion that she had opened the chocolate after boarding the plane!"

"But if I hadn't mentioned it just now, I don't think she would have thought of using the wrapping paper as evidence," Serabell reminded in a low voice.

"She was too flustered after committing the crime, or perhaps she was too happy after achieving her goal of poisoning, and she forgot about it for a moment!"

Kogoro Mori argued convincingly.

"Uncle, how do you explain why you also ate chocolate but nothing happened to you?" Serabel glanced at him.

"This is even easier! As her manager, Ms. Yaguchi should know Ms. Juri's habits when eating chocolate, so she can poison her precisely!"

"Nonsense, I didn't!"

Yaguchi Masayo could no longer hold back and denied it loudly.

"Besides, Juri always chooses chocolates randomly every time she eats them. How do I know which one she will eat first? Are you kidding me?"

"And if I remember correctly, Miss Juri carefully selected the chocolate before she took it. Even if she knew her chocolate eating habits, she would have to poison the area, right?"

Serabelle glanced at Kogoro Mori, then shrugged at the agent.

"Forget it. I can't convince him. To prove your innocence, Miss Yaguchi, please eat all the remaining chocolates."

"Anyway... it's just diarrhea at best."

Chapter 290 Everyone is Suspected

For a full five minutes, the only sounds in the first-class cabin were the sounds of chocolate being unwrapped and people chewing chocolate.

In fact, when Masayo Yaguchi ate the second piece of chocolate, almost everyone in the cabin had already determined that she was not the murderer.

After all, according to Kogoro Mori's speculation and Serabel's statement, if it was really the agent who poisoned, no matter how well they knew Makuri's personal habits, it could only be a local poisoning.

Yaguchi Masayo started eating the other chocolates next to the one she ate from Makiri, and now the box is half empty but she still hasn't shown any adverse reactions.

So it was obvious that the poison that killed Makiri could not have been in the chocolate.

However, seeing her sitting alone in her seat, chewing chocolate angrily, no one would want to go up and stop her at this time.

Kogoro Mori, who also realized this, fell into deep thought again.

"If the poison isn't in the chocolate, then what could it be in... Wait!"

Suddenly, as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, the eyes of the famous detective, who had not yet fallen asleep, lit up again.

Hmm?

As the saying goes, it becomes difficult to deal with subordinates when the leader starts to think, this also applies to Kogoro Mori.

Seeing that the former seemed to feel that he was able to recover, Serabelle subconsciously leaned back tactically.

Sure enough, the next second, Kogoro Mori's confident voice sounded again in the first-class cabin.

"Indeed, it was my mistake just now. I accidentally identified Miss Yaguchi as the criminal, but now I understand it completely!"

What do you understand?

"Sherlock Holmes once said that if you eliminate all impossible options, the answer that remains, no matter how impossible it is, must be the correct answer!"

Even the famous saying of Sherlock Holmes was quoted. Kogoro Mori turned around again as if possessed by Phoenix Wright and pointed at Tenko Tajima who was sitting behind him next to screenwriter Ban Heng with a confused look on her face.

"The real murderer is actually you! Miss Tajima Tenko!"

"……what?"

Tenko Tajima is not as introverted as Masayo Yaguchi. When she heard that she was identified as a criminal, she immediately stood up and started to argue with Kogoro Mori.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you confused detective! Why do you accuse me of being a criminal? Is it because I gave Juri vitamins?"

"That's right! You can tell from the fact that Miss Juri didn't refuse Miss Yaguchi's chocolate. In fact, Miss Juri has always had the habit of eating snacks on the plane. Under normal circumstances, Miss Juri would have asked the stewardess for some food or drinks during the flight."

Believing that he had grasped the absolute truth, Kogoro Mori not only did not retreat, but became even more courageous.

"But you didn't expect that Miss Juri didn't eat anything today because she was not feeling well. So, if we use the process of elimination and eliminate Miss Yaguchi as a suspect, the only possible murderer left is you, Miss Tajima Tenko!"

"Nonsense! Absolute nonsense!"

Tianjima Tianzi was so angry that his face turned blue and he was shaking all over.

"You said I poisoned the vitamins I gave Juri. Those were the vitamins I had been taking. I also took them after I got on the plane. If they were really poisonous, I would have died a long time ago, right? And what motive did I have to kill Juri?!"

Her voice became louder and louder, and in the end it almost sounded like a roar. Even the originally confident Kogoro Mori couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back.

At this moment, a voice that no one expected sounded.

"Well, I don't think that's certain."

Following the direction of the voice, everyone was surprised to find that the person speaking was actually Sakai Natsuki.

She had not testified for Yaguchi Masayo before, but she stood up at this moment, with a chilling smile on her young and beautiful face.

"If you ask me, everyone in the troupe here right now is a suspect, isn't that right?"

"What's the reason?"

Serabelle made a temporary guest appearance as a dedicated supporting actor.

Sakai Natsuki snorted, "First of all, Mr. Ban Heng is the nominal director of our troupe and the one who discovered Miss Juri's talent. But as Miss Juri has been in the industry for a long time, the role of the assistant screenwriter in the troupe has become smaller and smaller. Now he can hardly hold his head up in front of Miss Juri. For example, today's performance was almost entirely directed by Miss Juri."

"The second is Mr. Narisawa Fumijiro. Although he was dumped and divorced by Miss Juri a few years ago, he still misses Miss Juri and has been rejected several times for asking for a reconciliation."

"Then there's Shinjo-san. As Miss Juri's new lover, Miss Juri has almost gotten tired of him. A few days ago, Miss Juri asked me to introduce a new young man to her."

"And there's Miss Yaguchi. Although Miss Yaguchi's suspicion has been cleared, Miss Juri often insults her as a gloomy woman because of her introverted personality."

"And Miss Tajima Tenko, I know that because your husband, the director, has a declining status in the troupe, you have scolded her harshly backstage several times, and you are also disgusted by Miss Juri's bossing you around, right?"

"Then it's me. To be honest, I've followed Miss Juri for the longest time, and I'm the one who knows her personality best. She can throw almost all the chores to me as a makeup artist, not only the makeup job, but also carrying bags, delivering water, running errands, picking up packages, etc. She basically treats me like a beast of burden."

After speaking such a long paragraph in one breath, Natsuki Sakai paused to slow down, and then put on that indifferent smile on his face again.

"So you see, all of us actually have the motive to kill Miss Juri, the only difference is whether we took action or not."

"...I see." Maori Kogoro coughed lightly, "So Miss Tenko does have a motive to kill Miss Juri."

"What about the technique?"

Serabelle's voice came from the side.

"Ms. Tianzi also said that she took the bottle of vitamins after she got on the plane. If there was really poison in it, she should be dead."

"Well, for example, use a very small amount of double-sided tape to stick the poisonous vitamin pill to the mouth of the bottle, so that it can come out when you shake it?"

Kogoro Maori felt a little unconfident when he talked about the latter part.

Tenko Tajima couldn't stand being constantly thrown dirty water at herself, so she simply took out some vitamins from her bag and threw them at Kogoro Mori's face.

"Double-sided tape? Then please open your dog eyes and see clearly whether there are any traces of crime as you said, you useless detective!"

The so-called double-sided tape...of course it doesn't exist. This can be seen from the increasingly solemn expression on Kogoro Mouri's face after he opened the bottle cap.

It turns out not to be that simple.

After a moment's thought, Serabelle turned around and ignored Kogoro Mouri's actions. Facing Makiri's body, she took out a ten-yuan coin from her pocket.

After about ten seconds, he let out a soft "eh".

"This is……"

Chapter 291 Just Lick It

"Hey! You little brat...wait a minute, what are you doing to the corpse!?"

Kogoro Mouri heard Serabelle's voice and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. As soon as he turned around, he saw the latter doing something quite mysterious.

This guy actually used a ten-yuan coin to scratch Mu Shuli's body.

To be precise, it is the hands, especially the palms and fingertips.

"...Of course, we need to find the source of the poison."

Serabelle glanced in confusion at the famous detective whose reasoning was entirely based on his own imagination.

"Don't you find it strange, uncle? Miss Juri has only eaten two things so far, one is vitamins and the other is chocolate, but neither of them is poisoned."

"Then the question is, if the food itself is not poisonous, then how did Miss Juri ingest cyanide and die?"

"This one……"

Kogoro Mori was stunned for a moment by the question.

This is actually a very obvious problem, but all his energy was previously focused on trying every possible way to accuse Yaguchi Masayo and Tajima Tenko of being the murderers. However, the facts proved that his accusations were completely wrong, and he became a little dazed after the successive blows.

"So, brother Sera, have you found the source of the poison?"

Conan came over and asked in a baby voice.

Serabelle hummed, her eyes falling on the ten-dollar coin in her hand, the edge of which was turning blue.

In his other hand, he was holding the back of Mu Shuli's right hand, with the palm facing upward.

"Because copper will produce a chemical reaction when it comes into contact with cyanide, I just tested it and found that the reactive parts are probably on Miss Juri's index finger and thumb, while the palm of her hand, which is used to receive the vitamins, did not show any toxic reaction..."

"The index finger and thumb are the two fingers used to hold chocolate, but the chocolate was not poisoned. Doesn't that mean the poison was already attached to Miss Juri's fingers from the beginning?"

Kogoro Mouri's pig-head finally figured it out.

"probably."

Serabelle said as she leaned over and sniffed, then frowned slightly.

"It tastes like chocolate, and a little savory..."

"Is it perfume?"

"Not quite like..."

Serabelle chose her words carefully.

Generally speaking, low-quality perfumes usually have a very strong fragrance, which can be smelled as long as you are within the coverage area.

Although high-end perfumes are also fragrant, they have a more subtle and alluring effect than low-quality perfumes.

To put it simply, you will smell it inadvertently and it feels very fragrant, but when you deliberately try to capture it, it will suddenly disappear, forcing you to turn your head left and right to look for that beautiful figure.
