Chapter 630: The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)
If Chinatsu Aihara just reported her teacher's illegal behavior, there would be nothing to say.
But not only did she report the other party, she also poisoned him, which was a bit too much.
Anyway
Sakaki couldn't stand it.
After being exposed, Chinatsu Aihara did not give up on herself and gradually calmed down.
There was no way out for her.
Everything has been done, and it's too late to regret.
I saw that the other party showed no sign of guilt at all, not even any remorse.
Sakaki shook his head and sighed, saying:
"As Masato Saijo's favorite disciple, you must know his daily routine and living habits well."
Without waiting for Aihara Chinatsu's reply, he continued:
"Although the modus operandi you used is simple, it is very clever."
"Memu Police Department, let the irrelevant people wait and rest."
"good."
Nodding, Megure Thirteen sent Takagi Wataru to evacuate the crowd of onlookers.
After the surrounding area was clear, Sakaki said:
"Because VX nerve agent is volatile in the air, you dilute the agent, drop it into the cigarettes that Masato Saijo likes to smoke, and stuff it back into the box."
"Masato Saijo, who is a heavy smoker, goes out to smoke a cigarette after almost every performance."
"In this way, you can roughly estimate the time of his poisoning."
"Well, that's pretty much what he said."
Holding her arms, Chinatsu Aihara said calmly:
"Since I put poison in the cigarette, there should be toxins left in the cigarette butt."
"Have you detected it yet?"
Mumu Shisan's face darkened slightly.
Shortly after Masato Saijo's death, the forensics department conducted a thorough inspection of the lounge.
Including the pack of cigarettes on the table.
The strange thing is.
No toxin reactions were noted.
The cigarettes are also ordinary cigarettes, the ones on the market that cost several hundred yuan a pack.
"I'm afraid you disposed of the cigarette case immediately after Masato Saijo finished smoking his cigarettes."
Sakaki didn't react at all, which he expected:
"Just throw the cigarette box and cigarette butts into the bonfire, and they will disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye."
"The remaining trace amounts of toxins, diluted by air, will cause minimal harm to the human body and can be ignored."
The actual place where the VX neurotoxin is dripped is in the tobacco.
The poison entered Masato Saijo's lungs along with the smoke. Even if there was a filter, it was impossible to achieve 100% filtration.
"So!"
Aihara Chinatsu smiled proudly:
"Solving a case depends on evidence, Mr. Detective."
"We need evidence."
Sakaki said calmly:
"In this case, you used a variety of crime tools, such as droppers and measuring cups that are often used in laboratories."
"These are all glass products. Even if you throw them into the fire, there will be no trace left."
"Besides, there are still toxins left in it, so you don't dare to throw it into the trash can. If the police find it later, it may become evidence against you."
"So...you chose another way to deal with it."
Aihara Chinatsu's eyes gradually darkened.
Sakaki Cheng was like a roundworm in her stomach. He clearly didn't see how she committed the crime, but he could tell everything accurately.
It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.
But she won't admit guilt out of fear.
"Nerve agents are chemical weapons that are indiscriminately lethal. Even if you mix it into water in the form of ice cubes, it will still evaporate into a gas."
Pushing up his sunglasses, Sakaki turned around and looked at the woods:
"So, after you drop the toxin-containing liquid into the cigarette, you need to make it harmless immediately."
"The method is also very simple, just throw it into a liquid nitrogen tank."
"Liquid nitrogen tank?"
Aihara Chinatsu raised her eyebrows:
"Are you talking about the liquid nitrogen tank I took out?"
"Don't be stupid. If there are neurotoxins in it, won't you know if you check it?"
"No, what you took out was the liquid nitrogen tank belonging to Masato Saijo."
Sakaki stared into her eyes and said word by word:
"You also prepared another liquid nitrogen tank!"
"I thought you were going to say something."
Aihara Chinatsu curled her lips disdainfully:
"We haven't left the circus at all since we came to Tokyo."
"This has been confirmed by everyone."
"Besides, the police also searched the circus thoroughly and did not find the second liquid nitrogen tank, so"
"Excuse me, Mr. Detective, where can I hide the liquid nitrogen tank?"
Amidst the chirping of cicadas, large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
Megure Thirteen looked at Sakaki Cheng nervously.
This is the strangest part of the case.
If Chinatsu Aihara prepared a second liquid nitrogen tank, why didn’t the police find it?
Could it be that it was thrown into the trash can and transported away with other discarded garbage?
That's a big deal
Is it possible that VX nerve agent was leaked?
"The liquid nitrogen tank you use is not large. It has a capacity of 1L, which is about the size of a human head."
Like rolling a Rasengan, Sakaki made a gesture:
"This is also the most subtle part of your modus operandi."
"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. You took advantage of people's blind spots."
"There was also a time difference."
Frowning deeply, Chinatsu Aihara asked:
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't you understand?"
Sakaki shook his head with a smile:
"Then I'll tell you something you can understand."
"The core of Masato Nishijo's method of committing the crime is that the metal crystal structure after being cooled by liquid nitrogen is reversible. If there is no detective at the scene, when the police arrive, the lock has returned to normal temperature, and there is no clue at all. In the end, it is regarded as an accident and closed."
"This is called taking advantage of the time difference, and you"
"also used the same method."
"But you only learned the basics of Masato Nishijo, not the essence!"
Amid the increasingly rapid breathing of Chinatsu Aihara, Makoto Sakaki raised three fingers:
"You set three smoke bombs."
"1. If a person who died of VX neurotoxin is not sent to a professional institution for testing, it is difficult to determine the cause of death. But it happened that the subway case happened the year before last, so Inspector Megure and others are very familiar with this situation, and the first smoke bomb failed."
The first finger was put down.
"2. VX nerve agent has a delayed onset. In the eyes of the police, the criminal has plenty of time to deal with the liquid nitrogen tank, such as throwing it into a trash can or hiding it in the luggage of a vendor."
"Once the police go to investigate, it will inevitably take a lot of time, which is exactly what you want. This is the second smoke bomb."
The second finger was put down.
"As for the third smoke bomb?"
Sakaki Makoto smiled slightly, raised his index finger, turned around, and pointed to the forest behind him:
"The reason why you want to betray your teacher and ancestors and provide the police with Nishijo Masato's liquid nitrogen tank is not for justice, but"
"You want to use the pit dug by Nishijo Masato to bury your own liquid nitrogen tank. This trick is called."
"Cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest."
