Kudo Shinichi asked straight to the point:

"I want you to answer truthfully:"

"After you get the drink from Ayako Ninagawa, before handing the drink to Mr. Kamata."

"During this process, was the drink in your hand all the time?"

Hongshang Wuyi didn't answer directly.

She just looked around at the few police officers accompanying the investigation, and asked helplessly:

"Is this a formal interrogation?"

"Forget it." Kudo Shinichi nodded frankly.

When the police are present during the investigation process, there will be procedural guarantees.

Again…

"You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say in front of the police may be used as evidence against you in court."

"I understand."

Hongshang Wuyi still did not directly answer the question:

"You suspect me as a murderer, don't you?"

Seeing the suspect's "anti-client-oriented" reaction, Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan frowned slightly:

Too calm.

Will ordinary people be so calm when they know that they are suspected by the police?

This only makes people more suspicious of her.

But Hong Shang Wu Yi didn't care:

"If you think about it for a while, you will know..."

"The drink was sold by Ayako Ninagawa, and I bought it."

"Then, if Mr. Kamata died of homicide and poisoning, besides Ms. Ayako, the number one suspect can only be me."

"So, I'm mentally prepared."

Hong Shang Wu Yi sighed indifferently, as if he really had a clear conscience.

And the two colleagues who stood aside, Ms. Noda and Mr. Mitani, also opened their mouths in surprise at this time:

"What? Do you suspect that Miss Hongshang is the murderer?"

"how can that be?"

"Miss Hongshang and Mr. Kamata have always had a good relationship, but we have never heard of any enmity between them."

"It's innocent, why did she kill someone?"

"Thank you for your trust."

Hong Shang Wuyi nodded gratefully to the two colleagues who spoke for him.

Then, she turned back to Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan and said:

"Ladies...you heard that too."

"I am friends with Mr. Kamata, and I have no motive to kill him at all."

"Regarding this point, you can send someone to investigate and see if Mr. Kamata and I have had any enmity."

Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan were at a loss for words.

They know that the situation is more passive now.

If Hong Shang Wuyi dares to say this, it means she has confidence:

Confident that he has no motive to kill Mr. Kamata, even if there is, no one else will be able to find out.

And motivation is important.

It was because they judged that Ayako Ninagawa had no motive to kill Mr. Kamata, so they ruled out the suspicion on her for the time being.

Now if Hongshang Wuyi can find out no motive for the murder.

In terms of the priority of suspicion, she cannot be ranked ahead of Ayako Ninagawa.

After all, Ayako Ninagawa and Mai Kokami both had the same conditions for committing the crime, and both had the opportunity to add poisonous ice cubes to their drinks.

"You should still be suspicious of Miss Ayako."

Hong Shang Wuyi seems to be able to read minds.

Before the "female Sherlock Holmes" and the female Watson spoke, she rushed to say:

"But I think the murderer is unlikely to be Miss Caizi."

"First, Miss Ayako is the daughter of the director of our hospital. With her status, there is no need to kill Kamata."

"Second, I bought the drinks, and Miss Caizi sold them."

"While she was making the drink, I stood by."

"I saw that she scooped the ice cubes from the ice machine so quickly that she didn't even use her eyes to see, she just scooped the ice cubes and put them in the drink glass."

"There were a lot of people buying drinks at that time, and Ms. Ayako was making more than a dozen drinks at the same time."

"If she is the murderer, adding ice cubes at this speed, I'm afraid it's easy to add poisonous ice cubes to the wrong cup?"

Hong Shang Wuyi explained.

She actually came forward to testify and cleared most of the suspicions for Ayako Ninagawa.

"This..." Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi couldn't understand:

Koshang Mai is speaking for Ayako Ninagawa?

The number one suspect helped the number two suspect clear the suspicion, wouldn't that force the police to only suspect her?

"I'm not afraid of doubt."

"Because I'm not the murderer, I didn't kill Kamata at all."

Hongshang Wuyi said straightforwardly:

"Didn't the police gentlemen say that? I also have potassium cyanide in my glass."

"I almost died too!"

In the face of investigation, she showed no fear.

In contrast, it really seems that Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi suspected the wrong person preconceived.

"and…"

Hongshang Wuyi followed up with a key message:

"The most important thing is that the drink is not always in my hand until I take it back to the seat and deliver it to Mr. Kamata."

"After I bought the drink, I suddenly felt unwell."

"So instead of going straight back to my seat, I temporarily put the plate with four drinks on it on the windowsill over there."

"And the drinks were left unattended the entire time I was in the toilet."

"Maybe the murderer took advantage of the situation at that time and secretly added poisonous ice cubes to the drink between Kamata and me?"

"No..." Kudo Shinichi immediately objected:

"At that time, Ms. Noda and Mr. Mitani were sitting on the seat with the deceased Mr. Kamata, waiting for you to come back with a drink."

"The two of them never had a chance to leave their seats, go to the window sill, and poison the drink."

"And if it wasn't for the two of them, the murderer was someone else..."

"The murderer is not with you. How could he know that Mr. Kamata ordered iced coffee, so he only poisoned the beverage packaged with 'iced coffee'?"

"This..." Before Hongshang Wuyi could answer, her colleague, Mr. Mitani answered hesitantly:

"Maybe you accidentally overheard our conversation while you were following?"

"After all, when it was time to buy drinks..."

"The few of us announced the names of the drinks we wanted to buy very loudly, and it is normal for others to hear them."

"And there were so many people in the stadium at that time, there were people everywhere around us."

"If there are some acquaintances sneaking in there, it is possible that we didn't pay attention."

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi's expression became more and more helpless:

Possibly, "possibly" again.

There may be an unidentified real culprit.

The real murderer might have followed Kamata and the others and heard the types of drinks they wanted to buy.

Then he might take advantage of the time when Hong put on his dance clothes and hurried to the bathroom, and put the drink on the window sill, and took the opportunity to drink it.

These are all possible and difficult to disprove.

Especially that window sill...

Kudo Shinichi and Mori Ranzi looked in the direction of the windowsill:

The window opened on the corner wall of the venue, and there were no seats beside it, so naturally there would be no audience.

Although there were many people in the venue at that time, I am afraid that there would be no one who would stare boredly at the window sill in the corner of the venue.

In other words, it is basically impossible for them to find witnesses to prove the hypothesis put forward by Hongshang Mai.

But at the same time, they were unable to disprove this assumption.

"perhaps…"

Kudo Shinichi's eyes quietly became sharp:

"Miss Hongshang, that's why you put the drink on the window sill instead of returning it to the seat."

"Hiding potassium cyanide in ice cubes is obviously specially designed for Mr. Kamata who has the habit of eating ice cubes."
