i can kinda guess perhaps it's in the deodorizing beads.

the one that hate grape juice most likely is not the culprit and that's one reason why the culprit confident that he won't drink the poison.

the culprit perhaps the sommelier.

Good to see both Conan and Taikou adhering to the Bro Code. Time for the double wing man!

Next chapter: Meitantei Chiba!

Wow, that guy is a dick. Someone just dead due to poison, y'know. Shouldn't you at least be worried whether you've got poison on or in you too?

Thanks for the chapter.

I have the same thought, I'm assuming that he know there's something below the cork (to become his alibi to not drink) because he opened up the bottle before.
Maybe he could open the bottle using some kind of heat produced so the pressure of the bottle increase and pushed the cork so bottle can be opened without making any hole. Later, he use the hammer to push back the cork to seal the bottle again.
I thought of the heat from friction of eraser but it might not be enough and the eraser is still full. So I guess some kind of chemical heat from what's available in the toilet.

I still suspect the sommelier. One well-known method in Japanese blogs for uncorking wine was thunking the bottom against a hard surface (e.g the wall). This will push out the cork without making any visible marks. He might have used the hammer to hit the bottom of the wine bottle instead of hitting the bottle against surfaces because that would make noise. He also has that opened eraser, and I'm guessing he probably used that eraser as padding so that the hammer won't break the bottle. This is usually not advised because shaking wine would mess it up somewhat, but since it was made clear that it's not actual wine he probably won't care much.

As for where the poison is, I'm thinking it's in the soap container because the hint is something to do with light. Due to "index of refraction", sometimes transparent objects can turn invisible inside liquid. People won't think to check because it clearly looks like there's nothing there (especially because the plastic pipe of the soap spray is visible), so maybe if the poison bottle is super small and made of glass/acrylic or something it can be put inside and just become invisible.

Yeah Yumi is not gonna like how Chiba would solve the case since she wants Shuukichi to do it 😂
