"I want to ask you something for help"
I waved at Kim, gesturing him to come closer.
"What's wrong?"
"I want you to investigate something about...."
I whispered to Kim about the task I gave her. Kim then lifted a thumbs up sign in agreement.
"What are you keeping secret? why use a whispering event like that? Do you know who did it?" mike was a little upset.
"Yet, the problem of death is still a bit complicated"
How the poison got into the victim's body, while the rest of the poison was only on the fingers.
"Well, this chocolate cake is delicious. You guys should try it, who knows how to make the mind calmer" Anna said a little loudly while thrusting a few pieces of cake at me and mike.
"No, thank you" I said briefly.
"Looks good. I'll try some, it's been a long time I don't eat chocolate" Mike's eyes sparkled at the chocolate cake.
Without hesitation mike took a piece of chocolate cake and devoured it in one mouthful then licked the rest of the chocolate on his fingers.
"You're like a starving child who never eats chocolate" I murmured.
Anna laughed at Mike's behavior. But seeing Mike made me remember something important about this case. Until a smile expands on my face.
I immediately returned to the victim's room at once TKP murder. The first thing I checked was the trash can, and my guess was correct. The evidence is still not gone, I immediately took it from the trash using my handkerchief.
"Sir police, can we gather witnesses now"
"Wait for the boy, do you know what happened?"
"That's possible. So it's better to get everybody together and we'll find out, and please check the stuff on my handkerchief. Don't touch it right away because there's probably still poison left in there"
The policemen stared at each other in confusion but followed my instructions. Shortly after, everyone gathered in the living room. They look at each other.
"Do we know who did it?" Ask tio's mom worried.
"Calm down, aunt, before we uncover this mystery first I'll lay out the chronology of events. At first everyone sat here waiting for dessert, then the victim is father tio please permission to first enter the room because they do not want to be tempted by sweet foods.
Shortly after that the waiter served snacks and tea on the table and we took the glass randomly and then the waiter took a sugar sachet and put it on the edge of the tea glass and brought it to the victim's room by mother tio.
Next we chatted for about an hour and finally we asked for permission to go home because it was late, but several times Tio's mother called still no response from the victim so mike was forced to break down the door and found the victim was already in a lifeless state with a foaming mouth suspected of poisoning.
Once examined it was found no poison in the food or drink of the victim, but the poison was instead found on the three fingers of the victim's right and left hands, namely the thumb, index and middle fingers. But we forget one thing, the sugar sachet consumed by the victim"
"No, I never said the poison was in the packaging. The poison is actually outside the sugar packaging"
Everyone in the room looked at me in surprise.
"But how can there be poison outside the packaging? isn't it if the poison is outside the packaging that can be at risk of sticking to other packaging?" Sergey mike is hesitant.
"The poison was attached to the perpetrator's finger. So the perpetrators deliberately forge toxins when taking sugar in the packaging"
"Attent. Why do the perpetrators not just put poison in the victim's glass and even bother to attach poison to the sugar packaging that will not necessarily enter the body?"
"Good question, At first I thought so too. But the real purpose of the perpetrator is to make the victim as if he died by suicide by deliberately swallowing poison using his own hands because the poison is only in his hands and is not found in other foods or drinks. Is that really the waitress nina?"
I set my eyes on Nina, the servant of this house who followed everyone's shocked gazes.
"Wait a minute, if you want to put poison in the packaging is not the mother tio who delivers the drink can also do it" said Nina trying to defend.
"No, you obviously gave a drink to the victim after we finished choosing, you deliberately put the whole drink on the table and let us choose first so that you are not suspected as a suspect.
besides the way you hold cups and tea plates for the victim is a bit strange, though, after taking a pack of sugar you keep holding the plate and tea cup with your left hand instead of holding it with both hands because you avoid the poison on your right hand finger being scattered on the cup and also the tea plate.
In addition, you also seem to know the habits of victims who like to lick sugar packaging after pouring the contents"
"Why do victims have such a habit?" Ask Anna.
"Just like Mike, when someone really likes sweet foods and drinks but they rarely eat them for a reason they will likely eat until they lick the food until it runs out.
Similarly, what happens to the victim, because the victim is very fond of sweet so the victim really likes to lick the remaining packaging of sugar. Besides, there's another weird thing I found. Commander, have you checked the item I gave you?" I asked the police commander.
"Daddy already, indeed found the same poison on the packaging and saliva of the victim" Papar police commander.
I took the sugar wrap from the commander's hand using a handkerchief and showed it to everyone in the room.
"One more thing that is suspicious, pay attention to how to open this pack. The line was not neat, different from the other wrappers I found in the trash bin of the victim's room. This wrap seems to be opened using the mouth while the other wrap in the trash can is neatly opened with scissors.
This means that the perpetrator deliberately hid the scissors in the victim's room, so that the victim opened the sugar pack by using his mouth to ensure the poison could enter the body.
The proof you can get when you check the right finger of the maid nina may still be left poison between her nails"
"Yine!!! Is all that true? Tell me it's all nina's fault!!"
Nina's servant looked down, not answering the slightest question of mother tio.
"Why nina? You have been working here for a long time and I trust you!!!" Tio's mother screamed while clutching nina's shoulder hard.
"Maybe nina killed tio's father for wanting to protect your family, right, Kim?" I asked Kim who seemed to have finished looking for some things I asked for.
