The smell of medicine hit the nose.

Jude leaned on the white hospital wall and blankly stared at the ceiling. Why did Tim do that? I have heard him saying his stomach hurts until now. Did that guy eat something bad before starting the investigation? He thought of a few things, but the sound of walking grabbed his attention. He suddenly moved his sight, making the woman doctor a little surprised. He asked her, frowning.

“What happened?”

“Ah, Yes…. It’s a symptom of poison. You guys came fast, and he’s healthy. Plus it was way below lethal dose, so he’ll be okay.”

Jude’s eyes got wider. Poison? What poison. It was more shocking than food poisoning.

“A poison?”

“Yes, we tested, and a.r.s.enic came out. Perhaps, did he work in a factory?”

“…..We are detectives?”

“Ah, then did you guys stay in some kind of factory or closed factory for an investigation for a long time?”

“……That never happened, and if that happened, I would’ve gotten poisoned too.”

The doctor tilted her head like she didn’t understand.

“That’s weird. A reason why he got poisoned then….. Ah, did he take some kind of drug a lot at once or eat fruits without washing?”

“No, not that I know of. He doesn’t take medicines….. Before coming here, he only ate a cookie one woman……”

Because of the shock that hit his head, Jude blankly stopped his word. The doctor looked at him weirdly, but Jude ran out of the hospital. He ignored the doctor’s shout, “You, you can’t run in the hospital!” He ran as fast as he could to the parking lot and breathed heavily and opened the car door.

The thing that he urgently took to the doctor was a bag of cookies that didn’t even cool down. The sweet scent of cookies was coming out.

The situation was clear.

There was a large amount of a.r.s.enic in the cookies, and when a few more of those could’ve been a lethal dose of poison, the police arrested Mrs. Rochester right away. She looked very confused when she was brought to the station, and when they told what happened to Tim, her face turned pale and shivered and told them there’s no way. She cried and denied the crime, but that kind of reaction made it worse for her. She was even about to get the murder charges of the disappearance of the Rice family members. People were saying that she is a pleasure-killer, that enjoys feeding poison to people around her. The situation was already like an accusation from fact. Jude who was watching Mrs. Rochester’s interrogation scene thought about something and tilted his head side to side. It didn’t look serious at all, but he stood up strongly from his seat and headed to the hospital where Tim was staying.

When he opened the door insincerely by pushing it with his foot, his partner who got the gastric lavage and after got BAL (British Anti-Lewisite) and woke up smiled weakly on the bed getting an IV.

“Hey. I really thought I was gonna die.”

“Yeah. It’s reeeally good that you are fine. It’s my first time thinking it’s fortunate that you don’t like sweets.”

“Hahaha…… that’s true.”

“But Mrs. Rochester is not the guy.”

Because of what he said without any warning, Tim blankly stared at Jude for a while and was barely able to open his mouth.

“……What? What do you mean?”

“Mrs. Rochester got arrested in her house. She is being interrogated right now, and she’s getting all the charges. This does not look right. The two members of the Rice family is still missing. Whoever the criminal is, the person hid them pretty well. But she mixed a.r.s.enic proudly in the cookies for us? She can’t be that stupid.”

“Hm, if you only see the situation….. but the evidences…”

“Yeah, if you see the evidences, Mrs. Rochester have to be the person. At least you, no, us for attempted murder since the cookies were made by her. So I’m thinking of going to her house right now. Since we need to know which ingredient had a.r.s.enic mixed in it.”

Jude stared at Tim who had a serious face solemnly for a short second but soon smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

“I just thought I should tell Tim Oppa who just came back from the dead at least this much.”

“Okay, thanks. Stay safe.”

“Got it. Rest well…. Ah, Tim. Should I buy cookies on the way?”

“Be quiet.”
