"She was holding four glasses of drinks in her hand at the time, as if she had just bought drinks and was going to send them back to her companions."

"But Miss Hongshang didn't return to the auditorium after she finished asking me questions."

"Instead, she stood by the wall for a while, as if thinking about something, and then...she put the dinner plate on the window sill by the wall, and walked towards the bathroom by herself."

"And then what?"

"Did anyone approach that ledge in the next few minutes?"

Mao Lilan and Kudo Shin opened their eyes wide.

They can't wait to know the follow-up, which is the most critical, the few minutes of vacancy that make it possible for the real culprit to be someone else.

"This..." Suzuki Sonoko shook his head helplessly: "I don't know either."

"Not long after she left, the two of you... ahem... the technical reason was resolved."

"I was busy preparing for the opening of the show, so I didn't pay attention to that woman anymore."

Suzuki Sonoko didn't see the most crucial few minutes.

But her words still made Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi deep in thought:

"Hongshang Wuyi went to ask about the start time of the show..."

"Besides, the expression is still a little anxious?"

With this information added, Hongshang Wuyi's experience before the incident can be almost completely restored:

She first got the drink from Ayako Ninagawa.

Then, when Sonoko Suzuki announced the postponement of the performance to everyone, she held a drink and eagerly asked for the specific start time of the performance.

After getting the reply that "the start time of the show cannot be determined", she did not return the drink to her seat, but stood by the wall and thought for a while.

Then, because of "sudden discomfort", Hong Shang Wuyi casually put the drink on the window sill by the wall, and went to the toilet by herself.

A few minutes later, she went to the toilet, came back to get a drink, returned to her seat, and handed the drink to Mr. Kamata.

And at this time, the performance just started.

"The breakthrough... may have been found!"

Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan looked at each other, each seeing excitement and excitement in each other's eyes.

"Where is there a breakthrough?"

Suzuki Sonoko was confused.

"It's very simple..." Kudo Shinichi smiled confidently:

"You just announced the postponement of the show, and Miss Hongshang couldn't wait to find you to ask about the start time of the show."

"It shows that she is in a hurry, in a hurry to get the show started."

This is the school festival of Didan High School, and the audience is all parents and former alumni of the students.

They didn't come for the show itself, so even if they saw the show being delayed, they wouldn't feel anxious for a while.

But Hong Shang Wu Yi was in a hurry.

There are other reasons for her urgency:

"Because she has already discovered that the iced coffee in her hand was replaced by Coke by Ayako Ninagawa."

Before Shinichi Kudo opened his mouth, Mao Lilan naturally followed up his reasoning:

"If the drink is returned directly to the seat, and Mr. Kamata finds that his drink has been replaced with Coke, he will most likely take the Coke he got to the drink stand."

"This is the result that the murderer absolutely does not want to see."

"so…"

Mao Lilan paused slightly, and the speaker was replaced by Kudo Shinichi:

"So she decided to send the drinks back at the time when the show started."

"When the performance begins, the lights in the venue will be dimmed, and the beverage stalls will be temporarily closed."

"In this way, Mr. Kamata can't change the drink, he can only drink the Coke with poisoned ice cubes."

"But the problem is..."

"The problem is..." Ms. Mao Li immediately performed a male and female duet: "The performance was suddenly delayed!"

"Moreover, because of technical reasons, I don't know when the delay will start again."

"This greatly disrupted Miss Hongshang's plans."

"And, it puts her in a tough situation:"

"She wouldn't dare to return the drink to her seat until the show started."

"But if you don't send the drinks back, even if Mr. Kamata and others don't have any suspicions in their hearts, the ice cubes will melt in the cola sooner or later, destroying her plan to delay poisoning and fake suicide."

"Yes"

"At that time, the ice cubes had been added to Coke by her."

"That's why she was so anxious, and even let Yuanzi notice her strange expression!"

Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi came to this conclusion in unison.

"Eh..." Suzuki Sonoko was still confused: "This is the breakthrough you mentioned'"

Although the situation of the suspect at that time was restored to a decent level.

But this is pure reasoning, where is the evidence?

"Evidence hasn't been found yet."

"However, this gives us an indication of the possibility of finding evidence."

"If that evidence can be found, even if there is no way to directly prove that she poisoned and killed people, it can prove that her confession contained lies."

"This contradictory confession, coupled with her own suspicion, is enough to convict her in court!"

Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinichi finished speaking in harmony.

Then, without looking back, they went side by side to find evidence.

"Um... what are they looking for?"

Suzuki Sonoko still didn't understand.

However, looking at the back of "Sister Chris" and Mao Lilan walking away hand in hand...

"These two reasoning freaks..."

"Look...it's a pretty good match?"

As the most steadfast Xinlan party leader, Miss Suzuki's faith is faintly shaken.

Chapter 400 Because You Are A Good Person

At this moment, the window sill where Hong Shang's dance clothes were placed with drinks has been listed as a key area for investigation by the police.

Although there is little hope of finding traces of the real murderer from here, and there are people coming and going at the scene, even if traces are found on this window sill, it is difficult to prove that it is the murderer.

But the police just have to do these tedious tasks, and it is difficult to be as chic as the famous detective on TV.

Witness visits, on-site investigations, and suspect interrogations, in order to find a clue from the complicated clues, none of these tasks should be neglected.

When Mao Lilan and Kudo Shinyi wanted to come here for investigation, the police officers of the forensics department had already pulled up the cordon, and carefully blocked and protected the area near the window sill.

Ordinary people are not allowed to come close.

However, Kudo Shinichi's identity after disguise is the "girlfriend" of Manager Lin.

And Mao Lilan is his own person in the forensics class.

She naturally greeted her colleagues in the Forensics Section, and then brought Kudo Shinichi closer to the blockade line, carefully observing the position of the window sill:

"No...you shouldn't just investigate the house."

"Get outside the window, and investigate the flower garden outside the window."

Inside this window is a venue full of spectators, but outside the window is a piece of greenery.

Because when the windows are opened, there is a row of campus green belts laid along the outer wall of the venue.

A circle of shrubs is planted on the outer layer of the green belt.

On the inner floor near the wall, there is a row of small pine trees.

And outside this window, there happened to be such a small pine tree with luxuriant branches.

Its outstretched fluffy branches look like a blazing green fire.

This group of "fire" tightly covered the small half of the window.

At this moment, Mao Lilan pointed to the pine tree and said to the colleagues in the forensic department:

"If the murderer had been standing outside the window, his body should have easily come into contact with the branch of this small pine tree."

"The murderer may have left something there."

"Or, take something away."

"This..." The police officers were a little confused: "Miss Maori, what do you mean..."

"The murderer is standing outside the window, poisoning the drink inside the window?"

Suppose there is such a real murderer who wants to poison the drink on the window sill while the dance clothes are not around.

Compared with indoor poisoning, it is indeed safer to stand outside the window and poison outdoors.

After all, no matter how far the window sill is located, there are still so many spectators in the venue.

If you are unlucky, when the murderer poisons the drink, it is really possible to be seen and remembered.

And if standing outside the window:

Firstly, there are not so many people outside, and secondly, with the help of pine branches and leaves, it is obviously safer to commit crimes.
