Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Chapter 1263: The Fake Akai Tsutomu and the Shrunken Mary

Suspect No. 4 is pastry chef Chu Gen Ji Nan. He made the cake himself and was also responsible for cutting it.

This was the first time he met the victim, but he had also heard from Guan Zeyoumei about her being harassed.

He was cutting the cake when the incident happened. After the power went out in the room, he kept holding the cart to prevent anyone from accidentally knocking over the cake.

Chu Gen Ji Nan suggested a body search because the murderer wrote the words "Heaven's Punishment" on the victim's forehead with a black marker. Whoever the marker is found on is most likely the real murderer.

After a body search, it was found that only Kushiyama Ken and Sekizawa Yumi had markers on them.

However, the pen that Zhishan recognized could no longer be used for writing because the ink had dried up, and many people could testify to this.

This time, the biggest suspect became Yumi Sekizawa.

Suzuki Sonoko was anxious: "Yuya, Sera, you two have to think of a way, Yumi will be regarded as the murderer!"

Mao Lilan and Miyano Shiho also looked at Yuya anxiously.

Just as Yuya was about to say something, Sera Masumi's phone suddenly vibrated, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Masumi Sera picked up the phone and took a look at it, her expression changed slightly. It was her mother calling.

She said it quickly, then held the phone and went to the side to answer it.

Sera Mari's voice, young yet mature, rang out: "How's it going? Did you get the medicine you mentioned?"

Sera Masumi lowered her voice to prevent others from hearing: "Not yet. There was a poisoning incident at the store where the birthday party was held. I haven't had time to get the medicine yet. I'll contact you later."

After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

The busy tone after hanging up echoed in Sera Mari's ears, and she suddenly recalled what happened on the Thames in London a few months ago.

Over the years, Mary Sera has been raising her children as a widow while constantly searching for her husband. Finally, three years ago, she got some news. After several investigations, she happened to meet Akai Tsutomu himself on the street.

But her husband had been missing for so long that the sudden reunion made her wary.

After constant tentative contact, we decided to meet each other on that day.

The two met at the old place - the Vauxhall Bridge railing in front of the MI6 headquarters building.

Akai Tsutomu was late and looked depressed. He explained that they had not seen each other for a long time and had forgotten where the old place was.

Whether Sera Mari's husband has found the real murderer of Haneda Hiroji, Akai Tsutomu only knows that it was done by a very large organization, and he has been targeted by the other party and has been living a life of escape.

Mary Sera asked her husband why he had not contacted her for more than ten years.

Akai Tsutomu said that he had explained it during their reunion. He suffered a serious head injury during his escape, lost his memory and lived on the streets. He only began to recover his memory after meeting Mary.

Then Akai Tsutomu asked about the situation of his two sons, and Sera Mari replied that she came with her daughter.

When he heard about his daughter, Akai Tsutomu was obviously stunned.

Sera Mari noticed something strange and deliberately mocked her, "Your mind hasn't fully recovered yet, has it? You even forgot about the daughter you once held in your arms?"

Akai Tsutomu responded vaguely: "I haven't forgotten...it's been so long, my daughter should have grown up, right?"

These words destroyed Sera Mari's last bit of hope, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Even though she shouldn't have any expectations, Sera Mary still held on to some hope, but the result was ultimately far from what she expected.

Then, she raised the gun to his forehead and asked him who he really was - when she and Akai Tsutomu separated, Sera Masumi was still in her belly, and the real Akai Tsutomu could not have hugged her.

Suddenly, two men in black appeared behind Sera Mari, pointing their guns at her head.

When Akai Mutake saw that he was exposed, he changed his decadent look and directly tore off the disguise on his face, revealing a charming face - Vermouth.

After taking off her disguise, Vermouth stopped acting and simply took out a red and white capsule, indicating that she was here to take her life.

As we all know, villains always have a period of verbal attacks before taking action.

Vermouth and Sera Mari started arguing about her purpose of disguising herself as Akai Tsutomu. The organization wanted to let the dead Akai Tsutomu re-enter MI6, but the biggest obstacle was his suddenly missing wife and children.

In order to capture Mari Sera and her son, who were also MI6 agents, the organization had been planning for three years. Vermouth often wandered the streets with Akai Tsutomu's face, just to let MI6 colleagues see him and lure out Mari Sera.

Now we have finally caught Sera Mari.

Faced with Vermouth's threat, Sera Mari was not afraid at all. She also said that if she did not return on time, her daughter would tell MI6 about the matter, saying that the person who appeared, Akai Tsutomu, was an imposter.

Vermouth smiled faintly and said that she could continue to disguise herself as Sera Mari to deceive her daughter.

Sera Mary scoffed, saying that she didn't even know she had a daughter, so how could she know where she was?

Vermouth seemed annoyed and stopped talking nonsense, saying that the organization would find another opportunity to infiltrate MI6, and the current mission was to eliminate Sera Mari herself.

Vermouth held the red and white capsule in her mouth and fed it to Sera Mari mouth-to-mouth in front of her shocked gaze.

Forced to take the medicine, Sera Mari was smoking all over and looked in pain. Vermouth took the opportunity to add another stab: "How does it feel to be poisoned by the medicine made by your own sister?"

Mary Sera knew that she was about to die, but in order to prevent her body from falling into Vermouth's hands, she endured the pain, turned over and fell into the Thames.

Mari Sera's fall into the water attracted the attention of passers-by. Seeing this, Vermouth did not bother to confirm whether Mari Sera was dead or not, and hurriedly evacuated with her men.

But as we all know, agents don't dissolve in water.

Instead of being poisoned to death, Sera Mari's body shrank to the size of a junior high school student. She returned to the secret base all wet and found her daughter Sera Masumi.

Time returns to the present.

Masumi Sera recalled the scene when she saw her mother shrinking, and the poison that could make people shrink, and couldn't help but exclaim that it was incredible.

Mao Lilan next to him suddenly agreed: "That's right, how could Yumei be the murderer!"

Sera Masumi came back to his senses and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. The victim's cake was poisoned, and the only people who had the opportunity to poison it were those four people."

Among the cakes at the scene, cyanate poison powder was detected only in the half piece of cake left by the victim, while no powder was found in the other cakes.

In other words, the murderer poisoned everyone while they were watching the projection after Cho Gen Ji-nam cut the cake, because only then was the room dark, giving the murderer an opportunity to take advantage.

In addition to poisoning, the murderer also wrote the words "Heavenly Punishment" on the victim's forehead with a marker.

So now whoever has a marker pen is suspected of committing the crime.
