Detectives of Detective World

Under the leadership of Beigami Haruko, the two followed each other into the courtyard.

The courtyard of Beishen's house is very large and well-kept. It looks very pleasing to the eye.

And it seems that because the Beishen family has a botanist father, he even planted some uncommon plants and flowers in his garden.

"I don't know all the flowers here." Naoki Uyei looked at the blooming flowers and couldn't help but admired: "You are indeed a botanist."

But Haruko Beigami didn't answer, and instead stared at Karasawa's standing figure.

"Is this... Belladonna?"

Tang Ze looked at the familiar crops in front of him and asked.

"That's right." After hearing what Karasawa said, Haruko Beigami revealed a playful smile: "The day you collected the materials, you were looking for this kind of plant."

"By the way, don't you care about the cause of Mr. Manabe's death?"

Tang Ze did not follow the other party's words to expand the topic, but suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic.

"What"

"The cause of death of Mr. Manabe."

Hearing Haruko Beigami's confused words, Karasawa looked at Belladonna and said words that made Haruko Beigami's expression condense.

"You just asked Mr. Manabe when he died, right?"

Tangze said in a calm yet sharp tone: "Shangjing answered your question."

"After knowing when and where an acquaintance died, don't they usually continue to ask why they died?"

Karasawa turned around and looked at the cold-faced Haruko Beishen behind him and said, "I think generally speaking, you would be very concerned about it.

But once you know the time and place of his death, accept it and plan to make tea. "

Karasawa took a step closer, looked at the expressionless Haruko Beishen, and asked a fatal question: "Why didn't you ask about the cause of his death?"

The meaning of this question could not be more clear, almost as clear as saying "because you are the murderer, you know the cause of death".

But in the face of Tangze's questioning, Beigami Haruko's face showed no signs of wavering. Instead, she chuckled and asked, "Didn't I ask?"

"Yes." Tang Ze nodded.

"He said I didn't ask." Haruko Hokami smiled and looked at Uye Naoki, as if to confirm.

"You didn't ask." Uye Naoki said firmly.

"Then~ now I ask what the cause of death is?" Haruko Beigami's tone was sarcastic, and by the end it was full of coldness.

"He died of poisoning." Tang Ze didn't seem to hear her concern. Instead, he nodded the belladonna in front of him and said, "He died of atropine poisoning."

"Although this kind of poison is very common, it is actually difficult for ordinary people to obtain, right?"

Uye Naoki asked back, then changed his tone and said: "So it's hard to say that he committed suicide, right?

Not only that, but it is also very similar to Professor Maruyama’s case. "

"Mr. Manabe carries this with him. After testing, we found that it is full of nutritional supplements such as vitamins."

Tang Ze took out the medicine box in the evidence bag and said, "I'm afraid there is a poisonous capsule mixed in here.

In other words, the goddess of death "Atropos" finally smiled at Mr. Shingo today. "

"..."

Haruko Hokami didn't answer, she just lowered her head and remained silent, while Naoki Uyei couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

The other party did not answer their questions or refute but remained silent, which in his opinion was not a bad thing.

Because the more this is the case, it means the greater the pressure the other party is under, the more entangled their hearts are, and the more likely they are to reveal the truth.

But the result disappointed Uye Naoki. Haruko Hokami finally raised her head and looked at the two of them and asked, "So?"

"There is no use in denying it,"

Karasawa looked at Haruko Beigami and said: "The body of Sagawa Hikoyama has also been discovered in recent days, and my colleagues are investigating his traces as usual.

That house was unknown to the family and was apparently the place where he had secret trysts.

In this case, sooner or later you will be able to find the connection between you and the other person.

In addition, although Professor Maruyama has passed away, his physical evidence is still there, so naturally the pill box you used to poison him is also kept with him. "

"That is to say, we can trace at least three middle-aged men who were related to you, or even closely related, to death, and we can basically conclude that they were poisoned by atropine."

Naoki Kamei made a three sign and said, "I don't think anyone will think this is a pure coincidence, right?

There is nothing we can do about doubting you. "

"It's fine to be as suspicious as you like, but do you have any evidence?" Haruko Hokami looked at Naoki Ukai and said with a smile, "Evidence that I killed them."

"evidence..."

Hearing Haruko Beigami's words, Naoki Kamei's previously aggressive and calm expression couldn't help but froze, and he fell into awkward silence.

"No, right?" Haruko Beigami smiled and said, "It would be very troublesome for me to doubt my words based on mere speculation without any evidence."

"But you yourself confessed your crime to me."

Tangze smiled and said: "That was the first time we met when you took me to the Medicinal Botanical Garden. Did you not forget that you took me to the Belladonna place?"

"Of course not." Haruko Beishen nodded with a calm expression.

"It is true that the toxin component of belladonna is atropine, but there should be other plants in the medicinal garden that contain atropine."

Karasawa smiled and said: "For example, the famous Datura, if I remember correctly, it is also a solanaceous plant containing atropine, and of course it is also grown in the botanical garden.

Please also recall carefully that when I asked you, the original sentence was "The professor was killed by a poison called atropine."

Later, when I asked you to take me to the botanical garden to find the plant that took the professor's life, I didn't mention the specific species.

But you took me to Belladonna without hesitation. "

When Karasawa said this, he looked at Haruko Beigami, but she turned her face away as if she saw something sharp to avoid looking at Karasawa.

But Tangze stepped forward again to meet the other party's evasive eyes, and said in a tone that did not allow for refutation: "In other words, you know what took the professor's life!

That's not datura or other plants containing atropine, but poison extracted from belladonna!

The professor was like this that day, and today after asking about the time and place of Manabe's death, you did not ask about the most critical cause of his death. You obviously made the same mistake again.

These two negligences show that you

Judging from the current situation, there are two answers.

The first one is simple, you are the murderer.

The second one is what you heard from the murderer.

But judging from the current situation, I have to say that the first one is more likely.

And when I first met you, I had an intuition that you were the murderer.

So, I wonder if my reasoning is wrong? "

Silence struck again, but this time Tang Ze did not intend to let her use this method to prevaricate.

"Miss Beishen!"

During the silence, Karasawa suddenly shouted, which made Haruko Beigami subconsciously jump.

She turned her head and did not dare to look at Tang Ze again. She turned her back to the two of them and said in a hoarse voice: "I admit defeat... I did it. I killed them."

There was still an inexplicable smile on Beigami Haruko's face. She turned to look at Tang Ze and the others and said, "Can I go change my clothes?"

"Eh?" Naoki Kamei was a little confused when he heard the other party's request.

"After all, I am also a girl." Haruko Beigami smiled and nodded at the pajamas on her body and said, "You can't let me go to the Metropolitan Police Department wearing this outfit, right?"

"Oh..." Uye Naoki nodded blankly. He smiled at the two of them and turned to go upstairs.

After turning his back to the two of them, the warm smile turned into coldness and resentment in an instant.

Looking at Haruko Hogami going upstairs, Naoki Kamei lost all scruples and moved to sit on the sofa as if relieved: "Finally, she confessed. I was so nervous just now, for fear that she could continue to resist. pressure."

"Indeed, if she refuses to plead guilty, it will be difficult to arrest her with the evidence we have now."

Tang Ze nodded, but his brows were still furrowed: "But, I always feel that it went too smoothly..."

"Eh?" Uekai Naoki was a little stunned when he heard this, "Why do you say that?"

"After all, she is the opponent Hiroaki Buta found to cause trouble for me..."

"Oh, Tangze Criminal, you worry too much."

Hearing this, Uye Naoki waved his hands and said: "If it were just the case where the professor was killed, then we might really have a headache, but who made her continue to commit crimes in the future.

Moreover, Sagawa Hikoyama, who died before, and Manabe Iyama, who died two days ago, happened to collide with each other and were investigated by us and Takagi-senpai. It was impossible to cover it up all of a sudden.

And now that Haruko Beishen has confessed, there is nothing to worry about. "

"That's right... maybe I'm overthinking it." After hearing this, Tang Ze thought about it and found out that this was indeed the case, so he patiently waited for the other party to change his clothes.

But as time went by, the bad premonition in Tang Ze's heart became stronger and stronger.

"It's been almost ten minutes." Tang Ze looked at the watch on his wrist and frowned, "It's been a little too long."

"But she can't go anywhere. I see that the windows of the villa are equipped with guardrails..."

Uye Naoki scratched his head and said: "Girls seem to be very slow to change clothes. My ex-girlfriend is..."

Tang Ze also noticed that the villa had guardrails, which was why he had let him go change clothes before.

But now he wasn't going to wait any longer.

"Let's go up and have a look."

Now that he was ready to take action, Tangze walked straight upstairs without any further hesitation.

"Miss Beishen, are you there?"

After arriving upstairs, Tangze knocked on the bedroom door, but there was no response at all.

"Miss Beishen?"

Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Naoki Kamei patted the door impatiently, and a dull sound came. The sound was loud enough but still did not get any response.

"Step aside."

Karasawa pulled Kamei Naoki to the side and kicked out towards the door. The wooden door could not withstand Karasawa's kick and was violently broken open.

And the next moment, all the scenes in the room came into view.

I saw Haruko Beishen lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully like a sleeping beauty.

Tang Ze hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation. When he noticed that the other party still had a pulse, his heart relaxed and he immediately said: "Call an ambulance quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Naoki Kamei immediately took out his mobile phone, and Karasawa also noticed the small bottle placed by the other party's bedside with an extremely ugly expression.

Northern Haruko actually committed suicide by taking poison under the pretext of changing her clothes.

But it was too late to say anything now. After calling the ambulance, Karasawa and the two moved Haruko Kitakami downstairs, and then waited until the ambulance arrived and quickly lifted her up.

When the door to the emergency room opened, Tang Ze and the other two people quickly asked the doctor about the situation.

"The patient's stomach has been lavaged so far. His condition is relatively stable and his life is not in danger."

"Really, that's great." Naoki Uyei bowed to the doctor and thanked him: "Thank you so much!"

"I wonder if the ingredients of the poison she took have been detected?"

On the other side, after hearing the doctor say that Haruko Hogami's life was not in danger, Karasawa breathed a sigh of relief and realized something was wrong. He looked at the doctor and asked.

"We have to wait for the test results to come out for details, but judging from her confusion and other symptoms, it may be drugs that control the nervous system." The doctor replied.

"The nervous system..." Tang Ze looked at the doctor and said, "Please be sure to let me know the results after you get them."

After asking the doctor, Karasawa and the two waited patiently in their seats. Soon after Officer Megure learned of the situation, he also rushed over.

After all, the suspect in charge of their case chose to commit suicide after admitting the crime, so he had to come anyway.

After arranging for Takagi and Miwako Sato to stay with Haruko Kitagami, Karasawa and Naoki Uyei returned to the Metropolitan Police Department and met with the Minister of Criminal Justice.

After all, this situation occurred during the handling of the case. This was considered their fault, and they naturally needed to report the details to their superiors.

Of course, during the reporting process, Karasawa naturally took the responsibility on himself. With his current reputation, this was nothing, but Naoki Uyei might not be able to handle it.

Moreover, the prisoner committed suicide out of fear of guilt after admitting the crime. This matter is considered a big or small matter, so there is naturally room for making a fuss about it.

However, just half a day later, the situation took a turn for the worse.

Because Haruko Beishen woke up.

After the other party's gastric lavage, Sato Miwako and Takagi had been guarding him. After the other party regained consciousness and asked the doctor if he could ask questions, they asked Beigami Haruko about the situation of the three cases.

After all, according to what Karasawa and the other two said, Haruko Beishen had already admitted the crime at that time, and now it is confirmed again that the other party can be imprisoned directly after the other party is discharged from the hospital.

However, it was at this point that something went wrong.

Faced with the questioning of Miwako Sato and others, Haruko Kitagami refused to plead guilty!

Not only that, the other party also bluntly said that the reason why she took poison was because of the constant pressure from Karasawa Criminal Investigation and Naoki Kamei to force her to confess. She could not bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide by taking poison.

So the situation at this moment is very unfavorable for Tang Ze and the two of them!
