Chapter 3

The air in the Red

Rope Poirot Cafe was strangely silent for a moment after Morikawa Miku finished speaking.

Miku Morikawa realized that she had said the wrong thing. She immediately shut her mouth after seeing everyone's expressions, and then said nothing else that had nothing to do with the case.

It seems that the murder of Ueno Jasmine has reached an insurmountable dead end, and the three people who were regarded as suspects have no choice to speak out.

Perhaps it is precisely because of Morikawa Mihisa's words that Tsuchiya Chiyuki and Tsukiyama Kaoru have been silent from the beginning. If they were not questioned by the police because of the investigation of the truth behind the case, the three of them would probably not want to continue to stay in the same place. Ground.

Edogawa Conan stood aside, observing the atmosphere between the three of them and Daterui where no one was paying attention.

At this time, Daterui was standing behind Miss Azusa Enomoto like a porcelain doll, looking at the suspect without any waves in her eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.

Perhaps because of all the unacceptable things suffered by her peers, Yoshida Ayumi took the role of easing the atmosphere and kept chatting with the other party, trying to prevent the other party from falling into this sad atmosphere.

Perhaps Yoshida Ayumi's method worked, or perhaps Daterui felt Edogawa Conan's fiery gaze, and there was finally a slight fluctuation in the girl's eyes.

Daterui raised her head and met Edogawa Conan's eyes. The latter may not have expected that she would meet his eyes. When Conan came back from his thoughts, he had already locked eyes with Daterui. .

"Ah, Ueno... Auntie Ueno's death was due to poisoning, but the cup of coffee that Auntie Ueno ordered was also ordered after she came to Poirot. During this period, the three aunties... felt suspicious. Where?" Edogawa Conan subconsciously looked away, then scratched his head and said to the three suspects who were not ready to speak.

"Auntie or something... I shouldn't be that old." Chiyuki Tsuchiya heard Edogawa Conan say this and was a little unsure. However, when she saw Idarui's harmless face, she thought about it carefully and agreed. got that title.

Then Tsuchiya Chiyuki replied: "She ordered that cup of coffee by herself after she came here. During this time, she never left her position. You can all see it. We can't do anything to the coffee cup."

"That's right. "Morikawa Miku nodded in agreement, but Kaoru Tsukiyama was silent. Her expression was different from the other two, which inevitably made Edogawa Conan pay more attention.

Idarui was beside Ayumi and others. She watched Edogawa Conan running around the scene of the crime looking for doubts. The others did not stop him. On the contrary, they answered all Conan's questions.

Although she had questions, she could learn more or less useful information from those barrages.

For example...the question of Edogawa Conan being a detective.

However, Idarui didn't know whether to believe it or not. The information was still beyond her comprehension at such a young age.

"We only detected toxic ingredients on the mouth of the deceased and the area where the coffee cup came into contact with the lips of the deceased.... And the evidence is as simple as a handkerchief that the murderer destroyed in the trash can on the pretext of going to the toilet?!"

"Eh? ? So in this case, the only person who has a chance to take action... is Miss Tsukiyama Kaoru! ? "But why?" Takagi Wataru revealed the name of the real murderer based on the clues revealed by Edogawa Conan. I don’t understand why Tsukiyama Kaoru has such thoughts about Ueno Jasmine.

The woman in front of Takagi Wataru seemed to be in good mental condition. Her face did not twist and struggle like a prisoner's sophistry after being exposed. On the contrary, she was unusually calm, as if she was relieved.

On the other hand, the two people not far away from her shook their heads after hearing that Kaoru Tsukiyama was the murderer. However, their actions had fully exposed their inner activities and they gave in slightly. They were farther away from Kaoru Tsukiyama himself. .

Kaoru Tsukiyama just laughed when she saw the behavior of Tsuchiya Chiyuki and Morikawa Miku. She closed her eyes and did not refute Takagi Wataru's words. Then she opened her eyes and asked, "How did the children know?"

She looked at Jiang. Conan Togawa, Kaoru Tsukiyama saw every move Conan made at the scene just now.

Although the other party was a child, he guided the police to find the correct answer intentionally or unintentionally. Kaoru Tsukiyama was curious, could a child like Edogawa Conan notice so many small details?

After Edogawa Conan heard this, although he was a little embarrassed, he did not hesitate to tell the woman opposite him that he noticed something was wrong in front of everyone.

"So why did Kaoru want to harm Jasmine? It's impossible to be kind to this strange child...?!" Morikawa Miku said while looking at Ida Rui who was hiding behind the crowd.

Idarui was originally immersed in her own world and sorting out her current situation, but she didn't find it because Morikawa Miku's words pushed her into the public eye again.

Liu Yi hugged the rabbit in her arms tightly, trying to make herself not look so nervous, but she had little effect. Seeing this, Ayumi whispered beside her: "Don't be afraid."

Originally Yoshida Ayumi Mei wanted to hold one of Liu Yi's hands to comfort the other person, but the other person's hands were hugging the doll. She had no chance to give Liu Yi strength with her hands, so she could only comfort the little girl beside her.

Idarui did not feel uncomfortable with the attention of everyone. On the contrary, she looked directly at Kaoru Tsukiyama, who was accused of being the murderer.

Ryui, who met Tsukiyama Kaoru's eyes, was not afraid. She felt that the woman in front of her was indescribably strange. Tsukiyama Kaoru was not as scared as the other two, and even took the fact that others identified her as the murderer very seriously. Indifferent, Tsukiyama Kaoru looked as if she was the one who did it.

A child's first instinct is always right.

After Kaoru Tsukiyama listened to the words of Edogawa Conan, Officer Megure and others as well as the decisive evidence, she did not choose to resist or argue.

I saw her standing there recalling all the past events.

Ueno Jasmine, Morikawa Mihisa, Tsuchiya Chiyuki and her Tsukiyama Kaoru are four people who have known each other since junior high school and still have contact today.

Tsukiyama Kaoru felt from the bottom of her heart that she and the other three were not good people. From middle school to college, there were countless small groups similar to the four of them. It was not until they started working that they stopped overtly and covertly bullying. A lot.

Kaoru Tsukiyama was a bystander from beginning to end, and she felt that she was unforgivable. Maybe she had never stopped those three people, so what happened five months ago was retribution for Kaoru Tsukiyama, and it was also the retribution of Kaoru Tsukiyama for that life. The passing of should be filled with hatred and regret.

In the early years, Kaoru Tsukiyama and her husband were happy, but God was not kind and could not see any trace of her happiness. When Kaoru Tsukiyama's child turned two years old, Kaoru Tsukiyama's husband died in a car accident. Because of this, her husband's family felt that Kaoru Tsukiyama was driving her and her children out of the house, until Kaoru Tsukiyama raised her child alone.

Back in time five months ago, Kaoru Tsukiyama received a call from the police station. Her child died in the suburbs during a spring outing. I heard that the child died in a miserable condition when his body was found in the well.

At that time, the real murderer was not found, but the case was closed because the child accidentally fell into the well while playing.

The teacher at that time had been expelled from the school. Every time she saw Kaoru Tsukiyama, she would feel guilty and didn't know how to face this mother who suddenly lost her child.

At that time, Kaoru Tsukiyama's in-laws were very displeased when they received the news. They still thought Kaoru Tsukiyama was a lost star and had no good words to say. Although Tsukiyama Kaoru himself did not think their deaths were accidents after that, and Ueno Jasmine and others would comfort Tsukiyama Kaoru at the party where they met privately, but that tone was not a good one.

Tsukiyama Kaoru still remembers what Ueno Jasmine said with a smile and patted her on the shoulder, "If you want to look forward, you can't show off your happiness. You see, you showed off your temporary happiness, but as a result, your child and husband had an accident, and you also It's hard."

Ueno Jasmine added: "Of course I'm not talking about them... It's really a pity for them, they are young... But for you, this is still a hope of life, Kaoru, cheer up. Let them find the murderer."

At that time, Kaoru Tsukiyama could not understand the hidden meaning of Ueno Jasmine, but she forgot that moment and caught a glimpse of the red rope safety lock on Idarui that she had never thought about. .

The time came to a night a week ago. Seeing that Ueno Jasmine was drunk and the other two people were unwilling to send her home, and their homes were completely opposite, Kaoru Tsukiyama took the initiative to take over. The proposal was made to send Ueno Jasmine back to Tomoeda Town.

After Morikawa Miku and Tsuchiya Chiyuki were worried, but they left without hesitation, Tsukiyama Kaoru sighed.

It was on this night that Kaoru Tsukiyama learned the infuriating truth.

Ueno Jasmine drunkenly revealed that she was the real culprit in causing Kaoru Tsukiyama's child to die in the suburbs. Drunk Ueno Jasmine hit Kaoru Tsukiyama on the shoulder with a complicated expression and talked smugly about how she had done that day. The person who took the child away also laughed at Tsukiyama Kaoru's husband and Tsukiyama Kaoru himself. Ueno Jasmine told her true feelings.

It was also on this night that the reason why Ueno Jasmine invited the three of them here was to bring Ida Rui to them for a meeting a week later to formally discuss and prepare to harm and abandon Rui to execute the plan.

Kaoru Tsukiyama was thinking about how she should return the pain of Ueno Jasmine hurting her child to Ueno Jasmine one by one. She didn't know how she should start. The pain of killing her relatives spread in Tsukiyama Kaoru's heart, but after she took action, where was Idarui...

Should she strike before Ueno Jasmine was about to attack Idarui, or should she do it? After that...

She hesitated again and again, and Kaoru Tsukiyama remembered Idarui who opened the door when he visited Ueno Jasmine before. When that girl hid behind the door and asked who she was with her eyes wide open...

she It takes a perfect plan to keep the police from suspecting you. Tsukiyama Kaoru was worried, she couldn't attack Ueno Jasmine rashly.

Time goes back to the day when Ueno Jasmine brought Idarui to Poirot Cafe.

Tsukiyama Kaoru admitted that she was impulsive the moment she saw Ida Rui and the red string on Rui's body.

Was she relieved when she saw Ueno Jasmine's death? Is it the pleasure of finally getting revenge?

But at that moment, Tsukiyama Kaoru met Ida Rui's gaze, and her heart was tugged. If her child had not died, it would have been as old as Rui.

But her child is as pitiful as Liu Yi.

Is Tsukiyama Kaoru's sudden behavior correct? Is she atoneing for her past sins? Even she herself doesn't know. That's not correct... But Ida Rui survived, and little Rui, who was about the same age as her child, survived.

If Tsukiyama Kaoru hadn't taken action, Ueno Jasmine would have suffered as much as if she had hurt her own child, and Idarui would have survived...

All the sins seemed to have stopped here, everything was over.

Thinking of this, Kaoru Tsukiyama felt truly relieved.

She has never been a good person...
