Nanahara Takeshi looked once again at Mrs. Sugita, who subconsciously nodded in confirmation that she was right, that indeed no one had entered the small villa before the incident took place, at least she hadn't seen or heard of any outsiders coming in.
But her expressions of sorrow faded slightly, and she also started to react, realizing that there were only three people in the villa at the time. Now that her husband was dead and the poison wasn't put in by her, it could only mean the maid, Asaeda Mitsuko, was responsible, although...
However, she couldn't figure out why Asaeda Mitsuko would poison her husband. They had been together for so many years, and she thought she knew Mitsuko's personality well, feeling that Mitsuko wasn't the type to harbor malicious intentions.
But there were only two suspects, and there was no one else!
She asked Asaeda Mitsuko in a daze, "Is it really not you, Mitsuko?"
