Twins Brother The Devil Twins
Chapter 116 Suspect

Everyone stared at the table, exactly where Kein was sitting.

‘’Everything gathered here for afternoon tea at three o'clock past sixteen minutes afternoon. Then, Mr. Kein was poisoned at three o'clock in the late forty-sixth afternoon. Eh? How could the poison work after half an hour while the afternoon tea is going on?’’ ask Officer Reiki.

‘’True. It should be the person who is exposed to the poison, the effect is directly working,’’ said the Inspector.

‘’Actually I told Kein-kun to prepare a dish for afternoon tea this time. So, he had only just come to join after preparing everything in the kitchen. Not long after returning, Kein-kun immediately fell down after tasting tea,’’ said Mr. Giruberuto.

The inspector and officer Reiki nodded in understanding.

‘’Then all of you who are at this table cannot be said to be suspects, except for the people who are around Mr. Kein. So, anyone sitting between Mr Kein's seats?’’ ask Inspector.

Ting!

The Reiki Officer smiled with his stupid face, while the Inspector smiled with a stiff face.

‘’So, these four people are the main suspects?’’ ask Officer Reiki.

‘’I'm not surprised that this little chef is on the list of suspects. But, how could Mr Kaji, Miss Eve and even Mr Kane himself take part as his main suspects?’’ ask Inspector.

Reiki officials explained the case. ‘’Seeing from the situation, it looks like there is someone who intends to kill Mr. Kein by mixing Botulinum Toxin poison into his tea. But, because it is directly handled, finally the poison in Mr. Kein's body can be overcome.’’

‘’The problem is who and how does the offender mix Botulinum Toxin into tea?’’ ask Inspector.

‘’The first thing to suspect is the person who made the tea. So, who makes tea for this afternoon tea?’’ ask Officer Reiki.

All of them looked at each other without anyone talking, making the Inspector and the Reiki officer frown.

‘’As my husband said earlier. All of these dishes were made by Kein-kun. So, the one who prepared the tea is also the boy,’’ replied Mrs Vaioretto.

‘’Because Eve-chan likes Chamomile tea from Egypt, I myself told Kein-kun to make it,’’ Kaji said.

‘’Eh?’’ confused Inspector and Reiki Officer.

‘’Then the last waiter poured tea for Mr. Kein must have been the one who put the poison in,’’ Reiki Officer said.

Kane frowned. ‘’Teh poured by that last waiter, is tea from the same teapot for everyone. If the tea that is served contains Botulinum Toxin in it, then we are all dead. Then, why is it that only brother is affected by the effects of the poison?’’

‘’Or maybe, the poison has already been poured first into the cup?’’ ask Officer Reiki.

‘’Not possible. We all randomly select the tea cups we like from Uncle Kaji's collection cabinet. It is impossible to estimate which cup you choose, with the poison that has been put into the cup. If the estimation of the perpetrator misses, then someone else will die,’’ Kane replied.

‘’Selecting tea cups at random?’’ ask Inspector.

Kane pointed towards the push-cabinet containing Kaji's collection of cups, making Inspector and Reiki attendant approach the cabinet.

‘’Hm, there are so many cups here, and what Mr. Kane says is true. You choose the cup in this cupboard randomly, so it is impossible for the perpetrator to know which cup you will take,’’ said the Inspector.

Something is strange here. Other than us, only brother is affected by the effects of the poison, but what is it? Why can't I find him?! Argh, Kane said in his heart.

The inspector sighed and went back to the four suspects.

‘’What can I do. Before Mr Kein was poisoned, what did Mr Kaji do?’’ ask Inspector.

‘’Just talk to Brother and Eve-chan in turn. In addition there is no more,’’ replied Kaji.

‘’So, Mr Kaji never left your seat until Mr Kein poisoned?’’ ask Inspector.

Kaji nodded, so the question turned to Eve.

‘’Then Mr Kane himself?’’ ask Inspector.

‘’I called Shion-san to join, and he sat between our seats,’’ Kane replied.

The inspector looked towards the little chef who was standing beside Kane. ‘’Shion-san? This kid?’’

‘’True. I work at one of the Kamiya family-owned restaurants, and Mr. Kaji invited me here,’’ Shion replied.

‘’It means the culprit is you,’’ Reiki Officer said.

Shion looked at everyone with a frustrated face. ‘’I-That's not true. It wasn't me trying to kill Mr. Kein.’’

‘’Your grade is closest to Mr. Kein, so you can put poison into his tea when no one sees you,’’ the Inspector said.

‘’That's not true,’’ Kane replied making the two men frown.

Kane stared at Shion briefly before his gaze turned to the table. ‘’At that time, Shion-san and I were talking all the time, so I could keep an eye on him. And I can assure you, he's not the culprit.’’

The Reiki inspector and officer were made dizzy, so was everyone.

‘’Before Mr. Kein tasted his tea, Miss Eve gave him rock sugar,’’ Founder said.

‘’Stone sugar?’’ ask Inspector.

‘’You accused my future wife of the culprit?’’ ask Kaji with a dislike look.

The founder smiled stiffly. ‘’Ti-No Young Master. I just delivered something the police didn't know.’’

Kaji glared at the founder making the man look down in fear.

‘’Is that true Miss Eve?’’ ask Inspector.

‘’True. I gave him sugar cubes, because Kein always used them when drinking tea or coffee. But, you all saw it, I drank that tea before my son. If that was true, I should have died first,’’ Eve said.

Officer Reiki frowned. ‘’ True too. Since Miss Eve drank the tea first, the first person to be directly exposed to the effects of the poison was herself.’’

‘’Then, command the forensic team to check that long table!’’ inspector's Order.

"No. Call them all to spread out to look for the poison in this mansion. Brother was poisoned, and there's no way the four of us would have done it. The culprit must be among them" Kane said.

‘’Good! You guys heard that, quickly check!’’ command of Reiki Officer.

For a mansion this wide, the Inspector called all the officers in the forensics section to come. It took me a little while to look for clues all over the place. Not long after, the Reiki officer approached the Inspector who was watching the group.

‘’All places in this mansion have been checked, and not a single Botulinum Toxin was found. Then, all the dishes on this table are the same,’’ Reiki Officer said.

‘’What? Why could that be? You want to tell me that ghost did all this? That's impossible!” said Inspector.

‘’But...’’

Everyone looked back at the unfinished Reiki officer.

‘’Botulinum Toxin found in tea belongs to Mr. Kein,’’ Reiki Officer said.

The deg!
