Chapter 226 Golden Rose Theater (Part 4)
In the dressing room, Inspector Megure was looking at the inspection report brought by the forensic police officers.
The test revealed a high level of belladonna in Mary's system. Her pale complexion and dilated pupils were signs of belladonna poisoning, and these same compounds were also detected in the doctor's vitamins, the gardener's petal essential oil, and the red handkerchief.
Now it was Kogoro Mouri's turn to be shocked. When he was in the gardener's flower shop, a pie filled with belladonna was indeed delivered to him.
"I understand. The murderer is you, Miss Emily!" Maori Kogoro smiled confidently. "Back in the flower shop, you knew a lot about belladonna. So you made poison from it, poured it into a vitamin bottle, and then had Lady Mary eat it, completing your murder!"
"But Mr. Maori, I have no motive to kill anyone, right?"
"No, you did. The pie you sent to the flower shop originally contained a note with the words 'The Three Fates' written on it. You staged this all yourself to lessen your suspicion. You've actually been wanting to kill the three female actors who played the Three Fates for a long time!"
"Also, by using belladonna as poisoning instead of cyanide, which is more common in other medical treatments, you can shift the suspicion to Miss Emma, who came with you, because she also grows this plant in her flower shop."
The doctor was confused: No, how did he come up with such an outrageous inference?
The gardener was so angry that he stood up and refuted: "Uncle Maori, I brought those essential oils. I didn't tell Emily in advance. How did she know I would bring these things to sell in advance?"
Maori Kogoro persisted: "Your shops are next to each other. If you want to make something, she will know it immediately, right?"
The gardener then retorted: "Belladonna also has medicinal value. Even if Emily knew this, she wouldn't harm anyone as a doctor!"
"No, this doctor did cause a medical accident." Amuro Toru showed the information he had collected on his phone. "Dr. Emily Dell, no, I should call you Dr. Lydia Jones, right?"
"you......"
Amuro Toru ignored the doctor's shocked expression and continued, "You, once a serious doctor, killed a woman by using the wrong medication during an abortion. Even though it was later proven that there was nothing wrong with your surgery and that the medication was substandard, you still resigned."
"You changed your name and came to a new city, opened a small clinic next to Miss Emma's flower shop."
"Wait, stop talking. I admit that I am the murderer of Madam Mary." The doctor's face was full of tension. "Inspector, please take me away immediately. I admit my crime!"
"I'm sorry, Dr. Lydia, you are not the murderer in the true sense." Amuro Toru shrugged and continued to talk about the information he had found.
"The woman who died on your operating table was Martha Remington, the mother of this Miss Emma Woods."
"You're lying! My mother passed away a long time ago, and only my father and Dr. Emily are willing to stay with me!" The gardener was eager to defend the doctor's innocence. "Emily, you really care about me, not for any other reason, right?"
The doctor was silent for a long time, then revealed the truth: "Emma, your original name was Lisa Baker. After your mother, Martha Baker, divorced your father, a fire broke out in your father's factory. He finally managed to rescue you from the blaze, only to discover that you had suffered a severe trauma and had lost a lot of your memory."
"Your parents and I are old friends. Martha thought she left to pursue greater happiness, but she regretted it when she learned you were injured in the fire. She was very worried about her daughter, so she came to me and hoped I would perform an abortion on her so she could return to her old home."
"But, but I really didn't expect this to happen... Emma, I personally ruined your future happiness. You could have had a complete family again..."
"I told your father all this. He didn't blame me, and in order to separate you from the painful memories of the past, he gave you a new name, Emma Woods. But I still feel guilty and uneasy in my heart. If I don't do something, it will be difficult for me to forgive myself."
"I came to your side and watched you grow up as a family physician, and then I saw you become an adult. When I saw you opened a flower shop, I opened my own clinic next to your shop."
"You know, your former name, Lisa, means 'God's oath', which reflects your parents' beautiful family. Your current name, Emma, means 'innocence'. Your father hopes that you will stay away from those painful memories and be a happy girl."
"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault..."
It's another shocking piece of news. Inspector Megure is already numb. First, there was the truth about insurance fraud revealed by the death of Lachesis three years ago, and then there was the doctor who would rather take the blame than let the gardener know the truth. This piece of news is enough for the entire Metropolitan Police Department to eat for a year.
After hearing the doctor's words, the gardener froze in place, then her face began to distort, and she let out a scream that reached the sky, and then fainted to the ground.
The doctor was shocked and rushed forward to check. After finding that it was just a common fainting, she breathed a sigh of relief.
[Gardener: No more acting, let’s start~]
[Mercenary: Huh?]
[Doctor: I'm convinced. However, the protagonist of this drama is Lady Mary, so it's best if those who are not closely related leave first.]
[Jack: Conan is almost aware of the truth.]
"Captain, please send her to the hospital. Emma has nothing to do with this case. She has a mental illness and needs medical attention as soon as possible."
Inspector Megure came to his senses and immediately arranged for police officers to take the gardener to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Amuro Toru had never imagined that the information he had asked Kazami Yuya to look up would reveal such a huge secret. He had only checked because he thought the two shops were next to the blind woman's house. He had thought the doctor was a hidden member of the Oritis Organization, specifically here to monitor the blind woman, but he didn't expect that he was actually a broken-winged angel in white, always caring for the owner of the flower shop next door.
Maori Kogoro had a headache: "Then Dr. Emily, did you bring the poison that killed Madam Mary?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes, in fact, the invitation I received was from this Lady Mary. She asked me to bring some belladonna extract, but I don't know what she wanted to do."
Everyone was shocked. Maori Kogoro jumped up from his chair in shock: "What? She asked you to bring her here? This, this, this... Did Mrs. Mary commit suicide?"
Hearing the commotion in the dressing room, the composer outside pushed open the door and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Today is my aunt's important comeback performance. When she met me, she was very happy that I could come to her performance. How could she commit suicide at this time?"
However, Conan, who heard all this from the eavesdropping device, has already come to a conclusion in his heart. Mrs. Mary may have really committed suicide, and everyone in the troupe seems to be hiding this fact...
