Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 116 Dessert Contest
Today, at Tokyo Century Hotel, there will be a dessert contest.

The decoration in the hotel reminds people of the classic and elegant atmosphere of the European continent in the 19th century.

The dessert competition is held in the Haina Hall on the tenth floor of this high-rise building.

"The dessert competition for Japan's No. [-] is held today at Tokyo Century Hotel. Let's see what the dessert chefs are up to."

From the perspective of the camera, the woman holding the microphone is Mai Kirishima.

"The first one to introduce is Aoi Akagawa, the owner of SMW Cake Shop, who has won many awards in international competitions."

The romantic habits of the French are also shown in desserts.

Hot air balloons, the Eiffel Tower.

He also seems to have learned this habit well after studying at the French pastry school.

"The next one is to subvert the concept of desserts, the owner of Swee Dessert Shop, a popular shop in Mount Sedan, Tokyo, and Chaya Chasa."

On the dessert, with flowers as a foil, it looks more like a handicraft.

"The last one, who is often seen on TV and is very popular with wives, is the dessert prince 'Midorima Kashima'."

From the appearance point of view, the desserts he made seem a bit ordinary.

But the decoration on the small cake looks a bit like a mermaid's tail, which is very interesting.

"Hi everyone, today's first prize is me."

Midorima Kajima looked at the camera with a confident smile.

"How exciting the game is, let us look forward to it together!"

When the recording stopped, Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Pulling it aside, he whispered, "It's all your bad idea. You have to pretend to be some program to record. Which program have you seen recorded with only two people?"

And unexpectedly, I met Aoi Akagawa here.

Maybe it's a pseudonym, like Toru Amuro.

If you really want to call it, maybe it's more appropriate to use his code name "Mat".

Thankfully, she didn't just wear a baseball cap today, but a face mask too.

But unfortunately, it was still recognized.

"Sister Xiaotang, Sister Mai!"

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come here to enjoy the dessert contest."

Fortunately, it was Xiaolan and the others.

"No, we are actually here to record the game."

Saying that, Mai Kirishima pointed to the camera on her hand.

"Eh? But why haven't I heard of it, there will be people from the TV station today?"

Sonoko stroked her chin in thought.

Coincidentally, Tokyo Century Hotel is an industry under the Suzuki Group.

Fortunately, the other party was relatively simple, and Qinghai Chuantang persuaded him with a few words, and didn't think much about it.

"Now that you're here, let's go and taste dessert together."

Yuanzi enthusiastically suggested: "I specially asked them to help prepare the room, and it won't be too late to watch the game after tasting."

The desserts of Aoi Aoi, Kadoya, and Kashima Midorima all have their own characteristics.

Judging from the appearance alone, Aoi Akagawa undoubtedly won.

Flowers as an embellishment, although ingenious, always make people feel a little cumbersome.

Besides, the taste is still worthy of recognition.

And if it comes from the taste, it is a bit difficult to unify the opinion.

Sonoko chose to vote for Aoi Akagawa for a very simple reason. Not only is the food delicious, but she is also handsome.

In the end, Midorima Kashima's sponge cake won.

"This is the most popular dessert in Green Room." The manager said with a smile.

At this time, the manager's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Excuse me."

He got up and walked aside, pressed the answer button: "Hello, Arai, what's the matter?"

Not knowing what the other party said, the manager couldn't help frowning.

"what happened?"

After listening to the narration, the manager was startled, turned to face everyone, and announced the regrettable news.

"The dessert chef in the green room, passed away."

"Eh?"

"I'll go check the situation."

Conan quickly jumped off the sofa, "Wait, I'm going too!"

When I ran through a corner, I saw two cleaning staff cleaning up the glass shards on the ground.

When they finally ran to the first-floor spare room, they only saw Lvjianjiadao lying on the ground with his white clothes stained with blood.

His eyes were open, as if he was dying.

After calling the police, Takagi and Ye Jiusheng from the First Search Section rushed to the hotel.

"In a hotel of this size, there are more than 3000 people in total. In other words, there are [-] suspects."

"Then, let's investigate the people involved in the competition first. The alibi, the relationship with the victim, no matter how small things can be ignored, and then check the belongings."

At this time, Takagi had a serious face, giving orders seriously, quite dignified.

Among the onlookers, Yuanzi and Xiaolan were discussing in a low voice on the periphery.

"Xiao Lan, is that man really Officer Takagi? Why do I always feel that he seems to have matured a lot?"

Some people may not be able to mature all their lives, while others mature in a flash.

Sonoko didn't have much contact with him.

It's just that in memory, at least this police officer is not what he is acting now.

"Probably because Officer Takagi has grown up."

Conan's tone sounded a little relieved, with a sense of pride that "my family has a child who has just grown up".

Sonoko raised his eyebrows and looked at Conan with a strange look.

"You kid, what are you talking about?"

Just when Conan was smirking and wanted to explain, Ye Jiusheng suddenly appeared and shouted excitedly: "Senior Takagi!"

The newcomer who writes his emotions and sorrows on his face can always make people guess what he has discovered.

In the back kitchen, apart from the pastry chefs who participated in the competition, several police officers gathered here.

They found a blood-stained knife wrapped in a white cloth from the bag that Kakuya was carrying.

"What is this?" Takagi looked at him with sharp eyes.

The manager stood up and explained: "This is a kitchen knife, and the white one is a banquet napkin."

Takagi handed the things to the forensics department.

As long as you identify it, you can know whose blood it is.

"Senior Takagi!"

Ye Jiusheng ran to his side and whispered to him, "The security said that he was seen with the victim."

Evidence, testimonies, everything locked the suspect target tightly.

"Mr. Kadoya, can you tell me what happened?"

Of course, the location of the inquiry would not be such an eye-catching place in the back kitchen.

Looking at the back of Kaowu Zhuhang being taken away, a woman in a yellow coat shouted at him, "What's going on? How do you want me to explain to my father?"

The girl in yellow is named Zhuhe Hanako, the daughter of the president of a dessert company, and the fiancée of Kakuya Zhuhang.

"by voyage"

A woman in a white village shirt whispered the other party's name, a little dazed.

Qinghai Chuantang remembered her as the assistant who was by Zhuhang's side in Jiaowu at that time.

Through inquiry, she learned that her name was Fangu Ruoye.

In the room, after drinking the black tea, she seemed to have calmed down a little.

"He is not good at words, very simple, he only knows how to make desserts every day."

So Fangu Ruoye firmly believed that he would not be the murderer.

"But if this continues, he will really become a murderer." Fangu Ruoye covered his forehead with both hands, looking a bit worried.

"nothing!"

Yuanzi smiled and comforted: "All of this will be covered by my reasoning queen 'Master Yuanzi'!"

"Moreover, with Miss Xiaotang here, the two of us will work together to solve the case and find out the truth soon!"

Conan looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, holding back his tears.

One by one, don't take it for granted, hey!

"The kitchen is just behind the scene of the competition. There is a special freight elevator over there, which can go directly to the murder scene."

Under the leadership of the manager, the three entered the freight elevator.

"The camera has recorded that the green room and the corner house went to the first floor at different times. A few minutes later, the corner house was photographed returning to the tenth floor alone."

"I see."

Yuanzi nodded, with a clear look: "I will investigate the others, and you will go back, thank you."

"Okay. If you need anything, please feel free to find me."

After the manager left, Yuanzi thought for a while, and finally came to a conclusion.

"It seems that the murderer is indeed Mr. Kadoya. Because he is jealous of the other party's work, better than himself, or because of a fierce quarrel, he was suddenly overwhelmed by anger."

It sounds, but the analysis is logical.

"Sister Sonoko, there are emergency stairs here!" Conan pretended to be surprised, and pointed to the door beside him.

And here is the passage from the tenth floor to the first floor except for the freight elevator.

Yuanzi was deeply suspicious: "But, walking is too tiring, isn't it? Even if you run, you will easily sweat profusely, so it will be easy to be discovered?"

"Hey, don't we know if we try? Let's compare, whoever gets to the tenth floor first!"

Conan adjusted his watch to timekeeping.

"ready, go!"

"Wait, is it too sudden?"

Before Yuanzi could react, Conan and Qinghai Chuantang rushed out like wild horses running wild.

And as a lady, Yuanzi, how could she go back sweating profusely?

So, of course she went up by the freight elevator.

When Yuanzi walked out of the freight elevator and came to the emergency staircase, he saw Qinghai Chuantang was already standing there, as if waiting for them.

After more than ten seconds, Conan was out of breath and climbed upstairs.

He was dressed roughly and looked terrible.

He looked down at his watch, and it was much slower than expected.

"Kid Conan."

Qinghai Chuantang squatted down, looked at him, and said with some amusement: "I'm so tired, is my kidney overdrawn? Here's a bottle of Kidney Treasure, she likes you."

Conan was choked by these words and almost couldn't catch his breath.

There was surveillance at the corner of the fifth floor, but after Yuanzi called and asked, he learned that the camera on the fifth floor hadn't captured anything.

Judging from the camera records of the entire hotel, only the corner house race is the most suspicious.

"From this point of view, the murderer should be Mr. Kadoya. But looking at Miss Ruoye's words before, it doesn't look like a lie. Could it be that the murderer is a transparent person?"

Sonoko walked forward while speculating, but accidentally had a "car accident" and was hit on the waist.

"Yes, I'm sorry! Are you okay? It seems that you hit your waist." The woman said in a panic, and quickly rubbed the injured part with her hands, trying to relieve her pain.

Fortunately, there is nothing serious, and it will be fine after a while.

Women are the staff in the hotel, mainly responsible for cleaning the tablecloths in the restaurant.

"Thank you. I'm sorry to trouble you for your help."

"It's all right. But what is this?"

Yuanzi felt a little strange when she saw that she took the tablecloths and threw them into a dark cabinet.

"This?" The woman explained with a smile: "This is the tablecloth passage. Throwing it like this, it will go directly to the laundry room on the first floor."

Yuanzi walked over and looked down, feeling a little bottomless.

Can't help sighing: "It's amazing!"
