Kogoro then points that there is one thing, an unstoppable way to put in contact the right thumb and the poison with no possible doubt. He explains that the victim heard the whistle noise of the whistle kettle in the kitchen and went to turn off the gas stove knob. The murderer put the poison on the knob of the cooker beforehand. Most cookers are made for right-handed people. It's difficult to turn the knob with the left hand. It was only necessary to put the poison on the left side of the knob. It was clear that Hida would put his right thumb there in order to turn off the fire. And, as a proof, the poison was only found on the inner handle of the door, and not on the outer handle because Hida left his office hastily leaving the door open, he touched the poison, went back to his office and locked the door. Hida was a mistrustful person, and he wouldn't have panicked because of a simple phone call. Kogoro then points out that the only person who was near the cooker after the body was found was '''Takako Fuji'''. Just before leaving the office, you put a whistle kettle on the fire so that the whistle sounded while Hida was counting the money. And, as she had foreseen, Hida was frightened by the whistle, touched the poisoned knob, and, later on, he licked the poison. She had planned to clean the poison tomorrow morning when she came to the office, but the corpse was found before than expected and the police arrived but she were afraid that they could find the poison traces. She used the moment when the policemen abandoned the kitchen to erase the poison, pretending to make some tea. Kogoro then points out that she used handkerchief and bleaching agent to erase completely the traces of poison in such a short time. Megure then put some iodine on her wet handkerchief and the color has disappeared. Kogoro then said that Takako's handkerchief was wet not because of water or sweat, but instead of bleaching agent. Bleaching agent is commonly used in medicine to clean the remains of disinfectant and it's also an antidote against the poison used in the crime. It neutralizes all the effects of cyanide. This is the proof that Takako is the one who erased the poison. Kogoro then points out that there still some bleaching agent left in the locker of the toilet. It's a product capable of bleaching at room temperature. He then said that after Takako's arrival, she went to the toilet to wet her handkerchief with the bleaching agent and then waited until she was able to remove the remaining poison on the knob of the cooker. Not only has she cleaned the poison, but also has changed its nature by means of that product in order to make it impossible to be discovered. She has deceived the police. Kogoro then said that the bleaching agent is colorless and odorless. Even if the handkerchief is wet, the police can think it is just water. Also, that product is not sold at normal chemist's. The fact of finding it in the toilet is surprising. Also, the fact that Fuji's handkerchief was soaked in bleaching agent, the product is found on the toilet, and she kept a wet handkerchief is the evidence that she is the culprit.
