Chapter 52 Champagne
"Hey? What's the matter?"

You Xizi said with some doubts.

"A matter that can affect Ms. Yamahara's career."

Gao Yuan explained, "After all, for an idol artist who used to have frequent activities, now even the makeup artist is hired from an outside studio to replace her. It's not normal no matter how you look at it."

"You mean, Ms. Yamahara has received very few events recently?"

You Xizi understood Gao Yuan's meaning.

"En. If I'm not mistaken, Ms. Yamahara may only have the endorsement list of 'Fusha-e' in her hand, so she can't let go of this event anyway. Then, Yukiko... Sister, where are you Did you find anything?"

Gao Yuan asked about Yukiko, intending to synthesize information.

"Oh, because Ms. Yamahara is right next to me, I've been rummaging around for a long time but I haven't found anything useful from Zuli. But if I have to say, there is one thing, I feel that the threatening letter should be someone's. It's just a prank."

You Xizi said this, which made Gao Yuan a little puzzled, "Why do you think so?"

"If you have to say it, it should be intuition."

Akiko said.

"Did Lady Zuli say something?"

"That is, after Ms. Yamahara became the spokesperson of 'Fushahui', she would often receive such threatening letters from time to time, but nothing strange happened afterwards. Moreover, I probably guessed who sent it Threat letter."

Saying that, You Xizi showed a hearty smile, and looked at Gao Yuan proudly.

"Hey?"

Gao Yuan was a little surprised.

"How is it? Do you want to ask me how I saw it?"

You Xizi narrowed her eyes, smiled and waited for Gao Yuan to ask.

"Um... tell me, sister Yukiko!"

Struggling, Gao Yuan asked in a tone that could satisfy Yukiko's desire for expression at the moment.

"Oh, you went out just now and didn't check the threatening letter carefully. Did you know that there was a faint smell of cheap tobacco on that letter paper."

Seemingly satisfied with Gao Yuan's response, You Xizi immediately gave the answer, but seeing Gao Yuan still looked puzzled, he couldn't help but tease him.

"Ah, Mr. Detective didn't find out?"

Gao Yuan could only helplessly express his incomprehension, so You Xizi laughed and said, "It seems that Xiao Gaoyuan still has too little experience. The young man we met just now has this kind of tobacco smell on him." !"

Regarding this answer, Gao Yuan could only express helplessness, because he had never had close contact with the man named "Dashan", so how could he notice this.

"In other words, maybe the threatening letter was sent by that person?"

"That's right. Moreover, the date of receiving the threatening letter this time was before the new product meeting was announced to the outside world. The only people who can know the news in advance and send out the threatening letter can only be the relevant staff."

Yukiko added.

"Looking at it this way, it really makes sense."

Gao Yuan thought about it, but—is it really that simple?

Last night, Gao Yuan deliberately investigated the information about Qiuxi Shanyuan on the Internet. Although he couldn't find any negative news, one thing is that the exposure of Qiuxi Shanyuan has dropped significantly in the past six months. The judgment made can be explained, but does it have anything to do with the recent threatening letters?
At the same time, Masami Hirota and the girl with short brown hair, who had just finished shopping, came to the booth of the "Fusha Painting" new product sales fair, and saw that there were already Many people were there, so the two walked up quickly and grabbed two seats in the fourth row.

It was almost ten o'clock at the moment, and there were already journalists from several fashion magazines nearby, holding cameras, waiting to take first-hand information.

Looking at the people slowly crowding around at the moment, Hirota Masami exclaimed: "Fortunately, we have grabbed a seat. If we come a little later, we will have to stand outside."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as you can buy new bags."

The girl with short brown hair said.

"Don't worry. Although there are so many people at the scene, there will not be many who will actually buy it."

Masami Hirota said.

At this time, at ten o'clock sharp, the new product meeting began. As the person in charge of the event, Ryosuke Hori first came to the stage, took the microphone and gave a brief introduction to the product, and explained that you can go in and buy it after the store opens at 10:30. The latest product was released, and then appealed to the audience, with grand applause, the brand spokesperson Ms. Akio Yamahara was invited to give a detailed explanation of the product.

In the audience, the brown-haired girl lost interest after hearing the name of Yamahara Shuyu.

"Why hasn't 'Fusha Hui' replaced this spokesperson."

Grumblingly, the girl said so.

"what happened?"

Hirota Masami asked puzzled.

"After all, they have all been exposed to scandals of indiscretion in their private lives."

With a blank face, the girl said so.

"Shiho, what messed up fashion magazines are you reading again? Just listen to this kind of gossip."

Masami Hirota said helplessly.

The girl didn't continue, but she still murmured in her heart: Although someone helped her suppress the news, the sharp decrease in her business orders in the past six months is very telling.

On the stage, Qiuxi Yamahara was introducing the design concept of the new product of "Fushahui", explaining how the designer got inspiration from champagne, and the design concept of the whole new series of products.

Then, under the auspices of Hori Ryosuke, several audience members were called up to share their impressions of the new product, and at the end, Hori Ryosuke suggested that everyone drink a glass of champagne together.

So, at the behest of the young man named "Dashan", he walked up to the booth holding a silver round tray. There were about five glasses of champagne on the tray, and the glasses were arranged in no order.

Several people on the booth took a cup respectively, and under Hori Ryosuke's command, several people drank at the same time.

Qiuxi Yamahara didn't finish the wine in the glass. After drinking about one-third of the amount, he took a few steps forward, stood at the most conspicuous position of the booth, put on a nice pose, and started To conclude the exhibition, the reporters present were filming this scene in the audience.

Suddenly, the wine glass slipped from Qiuxi Yamahara's hand, fell onto the booth, and shattered, and then Qiuxi Yamahara fell to the ground suddenly, struggling for a few times, and then there was no more movement.

For a moment, the scene was in panic.Several spectators on the booth who were called up were pale with fright at the moment, staring at the wine glasses in their hands, and stood on the spot in a daze.

And Dashan, who came up with the wine, was at a loss at the moment. Only Hori Ryosuke quickly recovered from the shock, telling everyone at the scene not to panic.

It's just that after seeing this scene, the reporters at the scene began to shoot continuously at the booth.

Seeing this scene, Gao Yuan and You Xizi rushed to the stage immediately.

Takato inspected Yamahara Qiuxi, while Yukiko maintained the order at the scene and asked Hori Ryosuke to call the police.

Under the stage, the girl with short brown hair saw the man in the blue windbreaker rushing up to the stage, and shook her head helplessly after feeling the pulse of Qiuxi Yamahara, knowing that Qiuxi Yamahara was really dead.

For such a result, the girl showed a dignified expression - the time from the time she drank champagne to her death was not too long. It takes time for ordinary poisons to enter the blood circulation and attack, but if it is replaced by cyanide If so, the onset time is too long.

Moreover, she just chose a cup at random!
