Coroner Coroner

At this time, Matsumoto's face was extremely ugly.

Even if he didn't want to believe it, seeing his son-in-law's guilty and helpless appearance, as an experienced old policeman, he could guess who the murderer was.

"Why did you kill Sayuri?"

"She obviously loves you that much, bastard!!"

Jingwang Matsumoto's body was shaking violently, and his voice was filled with pain.

Hearing Sayuri's name, Takasugi Toshihiko instinctively showed guilt.

However, after seeing the fierce face of the old man...

But he gradually stabilized his aura, stood there majesticly, showing a cold smile:

"Hey...father-in-law, and this Mr. Lin Xinyi."

"Both of you are management officers of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"As administrators, don't you know that you should speak with evidence?"

"I'm indeed the most suspicious right now, but do you have any evidence to prove that I was the one who poisoned you?"

Takasugi Toshihiko simply stopped pretending.

Not only did he stop pretending to be a good person, he even showed a happy smile unscrupulously.

This kind of resentment was not aimed at Lin Xinyi who exposed his ignorant tricks, but at the old man Matsumoto who believed in him until just now.

It was as if he had some blood feud with police officer Matsumoto.

"Takasugi, you..."

Inspector Matsumoto wanted to get angry instinctively, but he no longer had the strength to get angry.

He never expected that the man his daughter loved would actually be such a cruel and ruthless monster.

"why?"

Police officer Matsumoto held back traces for a long time, only holding back one why.

But Takasugi Toshihiko snorted coldly, and replied mercilessly: "Why?"

"I said I'm not a murderer, so don't wrong good people."

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence, otherwise, I will ask a lawyer to sue your Metropolitan Police Department for insulting and defaming."

"This...too bad." Lin Xin's eyes were fixed:

Only then did he remember that Mr. Takasugi Toshihiko was also a Tianlong person.

Ordinary people can break through their psychological defenses by combining evidence and interrogation, but this kind of big man will never cooperate with interrogation honestly.

Not only would they not be afraid when they were invited to the police station for tea, but they could also say leisurely, "No comment, I'm waiting for my lawyer to come over."

Therefore, if you want to send this kind of chaebol son with a lawyer team at home to prison, the chain of evidence must be complete and impeccable.

But...how easy is it?

"There is no surveillance at the scene, no video recording."

"And this bastard dares to say such a thing, the fingerprints on the medicine bottle should have been wiped clean by him."

"As for the beverage bottle... Even if it has his fingerprints on it, he can still find an excuse to say that he took it when he came in to see Sayuri."

"The poisoner could have come in after he left, a murderer who may not have existed at all."

"Similarly, even if there are his footprints, hairs, and dander left at the scene, none of them can prove that he poisoned and killed people."

"Then... we can only hope for further testing."

"If there is any skin flakes that are hard to distinguish with the naked eye on the plastic medicine bottle, we may still have hope of sending him to prison."

Thinking of this, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but have a headache.

He has tried his best, and then he can only gamble on luck.

If hard-core evidence that even lawyers can't criticize cannot be found, this Mr. Takasugi Toshihiko will basically be acquitted.

Lin Xin thought so in his heart.

And at this time... Mao Lilan suddenly stood up with some emotion:

"Mr. Lin... When sodium hydroxide dissolves in water, there should be a lot of movement, right?"

"It's big..." Lin Xinyi recalled his junior high school chemistry experiment: "There will be many small bubbles coming out, and a lot of heat will be released."

"If you put too much, it may look like water is boiling."

"So... what's wrong with that?"

He stared at Mao Lilan curiously, wanting to ask her if she had discovered anything.

But Mao Lilan shook his head:

"I didn't find anything, just..."

"Sayuri-sensei, maybe she really loves Mr. Takasugi."

"So... even though she knew Mr. Takasugi poisoned her, she still drank the drink."

"Huh?" Everyone was slightly taken aback, and Takasugi Toshihiko even trembled when he heard it.

"You... what did you say?"

The resentment on Toshihiko Takasugi's face turned into shock:

"Xiao Baihe knows...knows that the murderer poisoned her?"

"Yes." Mao Lilan sighed deeply.

She looked at Takasugi Toshihiko quietly, her eyes were extremely complicated:

"I know that when Teacher Sayuri drinks lemon tea, she always sips and savors it carefully."

"Because she said that in this way, she can slowly relive the taste of her first childhood love."

"If that's the case, then she would be able to find out that something was wrong when she took a sip, so how could she be burned so badly?"

"Especially, when sodium hydroxide dissolves in water and bubbles out and generates a lot of heat..."

"Such an obvious change, will she really not notice it when she sips the hot lemon tea?"

Mao Lilan paused slightly, and her tone became deeper:

"So, I think, Miss Sayuri, she should already know about it."

"She knew her husband was poisoning her and the people she loved most wanted her dead."

"So she was desperate, she drank the poison cast by her lover, and wanted to die just like that."

"Mr. Takasugi..."

Looking at Takasugi Toshihiko whose expression was already shaken, a soft light quietly burst into Mao Lilan's eyes.

This light is so pure, with a power that seems to cleanse the soul.

She used such a seemingly innocent way to torture Takasugi Toshihiko's heart:

"You don't feel bad at all?"

"Mr. Sayuri, isn't that the person you love?"

"I, I..." Takasugi Toshihiko's face turned pale again.

But the paleness this time was not because of the panic revealed when the trick was exposed.

It is a kind of pain and bitterness from the heart, derived from that pure emotion.

"I think, while holding that cup of warm lemon tea."

"Ms. Sayuri must be very cold."

Mao Lilan lamented in this way:

"She obviously loves you so much...even, she is willing to do anything for you!"

"Say... what are you talking about!"

Takasugi Toshihiko covered his ears, as if he couldn't bear to listen any longer:

"These are all your conjectures... I am not a murderer at all."

"Besides, how can anyone drink poison by themselves!"

He warned himself so deeply not to think about it.

But Sayuri's sad and beautiful appearance of taking the poison in despair still lingered in his heart for a long time like a lingering nightmare.

"Sayuri will!"

Suddenly, another voice sounded from the crowd.

It was none other than Sayuri Matsumoto's college classmate and best friend who spoke:

"Others wouldn't do such a stupid thing, but Sayuri would."

"Because...she is such an idiot!"

"Takasugi Toshihiko, do you know:"

The lady best friend spoke up for Sayuri indignantly:

"Sayuri, she knew your purpose of approaching her from the very beginning."

"He knows your true identity, and also knows the enmity between you and her father."

"But she still falls in love with you, she thinks you are a good person, and she is willing to be with you for the rest of her life—"

"But, Takasugi Toshihiko, what did you do to her?!"

"W-what..."

Toshihiko Takasugi fell into a state of insanity:

"Sayuri, she even...knows about those things?!"

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely breaking the murderer's psychological defense.
