Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 117 The Professional Pastry Chef
"There are so many tablecloths here."

Qinghai Chuantang's focus seems to be somewhat different.

The woman smiled and said, "There are a lot of banquets today. There will be a big banquet in the evening. It's downstairs. It's Sumo's wedding banquet."

Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and seemed to understand something.

The corners of the mouth were raised slightly, revealing the original expression.

Afterwards, Qinghai Chuantang came to the back kitchen.

"It's a pity that the competition has been cancelled."

She had already taken off her mask and hat, revealing her true colors.

"Miss Tang, long time no see."

Aoi Aoi smiled, giving people a feeling of not smiling.

"Actually, I don't think it matters."

"Why do you say this way?"

Aoi Akagawa looked around, then leaned towards her, and whispered, "That Midorima will steal the formula."

"Steal the formula?" Qinghai Chuantang continued to ask.

"He has no talent at all, and he shows off on TV. In fact, the desserts he makes are all stealing other people's ideas."

As if aware that someone was watching him, Aoi Akagawa also glanced at him.

Finally, he said to Qinghai Chuantang in French: "That guy is extremely sinister."

After speaking, he turned and left.

I don't know whether "that guy" refers to Midorima Kashima or someone else.

"I've said it many times, I don't know."

"It's just behind the restaurant on the first floor. Someone saw you. Mr. Kadoya, now that the evidence is sufficient, you understand that the confession is lenient, right? If you don't tell us the truth, then you will become a murderer and let the real murderer go unpunished .”

"He wanted me to deliberately lose to him."

Finally, Jiaowu Zhuhang explained his purpose of going to the first floor.

"Fake match?"

"They said they wanted to be on a TV show, and they couldn't lose. Then they said they would give me the money and let me win. But I didn't agree, and after I refused, I went back to the tenth floor."

"Is that really all there is?"

Takagi walked up to him and sat down, "You seem to be dating a lady from a well-known dessert company."

"If the negotiation is successful, won't your store be able to enter the world? This competition cannot be lost, isn't it you?"

After that, Qinghai Chuantang did not continue to eavesdrop, but turned and left, and came to the hall.

After the crowd dispersed, the space seemed extraordinarily spacious.

"Little brother, this is what Ms. Sonoko needs, the banquet list for this time. But why do you need this?"

"Because Sister Yuanzi is a little concerned about something, let me check it out for you."

The skill of lying has been used by Conan to the point where he does not need to make a draft.

After reading it, the corners of Conan's mouth rose wildly.

"I see. I already know the real body of the transparent man."

Qinghai Chuantang looked at him not far away, always feeling a bad premonition.

Everyone was gathered in the Haina Hall.

On the other hand, Yuanzi sat on a chair with his legs crossed.

One fist rests on his chin, like a meditator.

"Thank you for being able to gather here. Let me start with the conclusion that Mr. Kadoya is not the murderer. The real culprit who killed Mr. Midorima is someone else."

Seeing this, the manager pointed out what he didn't understand: "But from the monitoring, the only person who goes to and from the first floor of the crime scene and the tenth floor of the venue is Mr. Kakiya."

"Indeed, from the point of view of the camera, only Mr. Kadoya is the most suspicious. However, if he can not be caught by the camera, he can become a 'transparent person'."

"Next, Xiao Lan, please, pick up the tablet on the table."

Xiaolan nodded, walked over, and picked up the tablet, which was displaying the video interface on the opposite side.

She held the tablet firmly, like a humanoid stand.

"If you use this place, you can go to the first floor without being photographed."

In the video, Mai Kirishima's body has already been tied with ropes.

She stood on the stool, then got into the passage.

When she finally made up her mind and chose to let go, there was a tragic scream.

The screen changed, and it changed to the laundry room on the first floor where Qinghai Chuantang was.

Soon, Mai Kirishima fell into the laundry basket.

"Kirishima, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I made my way safely."

Mai Kirishima smiled and made a "yeah" gesture to the camera.

"So, how do we get back here? It's impossible to climb up the pipe again, right?"

Aoi Akagawa looked at Sonoko and asked her own question.

It's just that his face is calm, and he is not in the state that a knowledge seeker should be at all.

"Of course there is a way to come back."

Conan snapped his fingers, and several staff members came over pushing a huge cake, there were four of them in total.

In wedding ceremonies, large wedding cakes are decorated, usually with cake molds made of foam.

"Today, at the Yuliang Hall on the 9th floor downstairs, a sumo wrestler's wedding banquet is going to be held, and an extra-large cake model has been ordered."

The list was in the hands of the manager, and everyone couldn't help sighing after watching: "It's two meters high and one meter wide, it's quite big."

"Yes, quite large."

Conan, who was hiding under the table, showed a smile: "So, the murderer who knew this killed Mr. Midorima in the spare parts warehouse, and then hid it in the cake model made in advance."

No one expected that there would be someone hiding inside, and the camera in the elevator did not capture him.

Transported to the ninth floor by the hands of employees, aiming for time to come out.

After that, just use the safe exit to go back to the back kitchen which is only one floor higher.

"And this is the way to go back and forth from the first floor to the tenth floor without being caught by the camera."

It's just that these are at best the evidence of the case, and there is no evidence to determine the murderer.

"Who is the real culprit?"

Ye Jiusheng couldn't wait to get the answer.

Yuanzi said calmly, "No hurry, let's sort out the clues first."

"In the spare parts warehouse very close to the scene, there were a lot of broken carbonated drink bottles. And those bottles happened to be near the cake model."

And the person who broke the drink is the real culprit.

After murdering Midorima Kajima, the murderer ran to the cake model, but did not see the beverage bottle box in the blind spot, and accidentally smashed it.

"The drink spilled from the drink bottle wet the criminal's shoes."

At this time, Kirishima Mai and Qinghai Chuantang had already returned to the Haina Hall.

Qinghai Chuantang took out his mobile phone and clicked on one of the apps. The interface turned into a light bulb, but the light emitted was like colorful black.

"This light is black light. So, let's do a fun little experiment."

After finishing speaking, Qinghai Chuantang snapped his fingers, and the lights in the Haina hall were instantly extinguished, turning it into darkness.

"This carbonated drink contains cinchona extract."

Drinks in glass bottles were placed on the table.

When she irradiated the glass bottle with the black light from the phone interface, the originally transparent water instantly turned light blue, emitting a faint blue light.

"The murderer's shoes were wet from the drink. If you shone a black light on his shoes, they would glow like that."

Qinghai Chuantang turned to look at the crowd, "Now, let us reveal the real body of the transparent man."

The manager, Aoi Akagawa, and Kadoya Zhuhang are all absent.

When the black light shone on the human shoe on Kadoya Zhuhang's left, it finally emitted a blue light.

Slowly moving his gaze upwards, he finally saw the man's true face clearly.

An employee in Midorima Kajima's store and also his assistant - Sugiya.

"Sugiya followed Kakuya into the spare room, and then killed Midorima."

"You, what are you talking about?"

Sugiya couldn't help taking a few steps back, with nervousness written all over his face, but he still quibbled: "Why would I do such a thing? Midorima-sensei is my master, how could I kill him?"

Without a motive, it's all just speculation.

"If there is a motive, yes."

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang pointed to the desserts on the table beside him.

"Mr. Sugiya, Midorima stole the recipe for you, right?"

She walked in front of him, and continued: "I heard that almost all of Midorima's works are stolen. For pastry chefs, recipes are as important as life."

After finishing speaking, Qinghai Chuantang picked up the dessert on the plate and took a light bite.

He nodded in praise and said, "It's great. This muffin is also your work, right?"

Different from the sponge cake tasted in the room before, this dessert is more delicate, and the taste is softer and sweeter.

Sugiya blinked his eyes a few times, lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, finally raised his head again.

"It's not me who's wrong, it's Teacher Midorima."

Sugiya clenched his fists, "Midorima-sensei commercialized the sponge cake I created as his own without authorization."

He was very emotional.

The lights came back on and returned to their previous bright colors.

"I'm curious about one thing. Why did you rush back to the venue after you killed Midorima?"

A full set is required for acting, so the camera was kept at the venue to record during the period.

"Judging from the video, you said that you wanted to confirm the baking of the muffins, and it took only about 10 minutes to leave the venue. You want to kill people without being discovered. This time is too tight."

If you are not in a hurry, you will not break the drink bottle.

"Because I don't want the sponge cake to be burnt."

Aoi Akagawa, who is also a pastry chef, can naturally understand this.

He explained: "I have tasted the muffins in the store, and the taste and texture are excellent. As a professional pastry chef, I naturally want to perfect my creations."

At this moment, Sugiya had tears in his eyes.

It seems to be because of meeting a confidant.

"It's very difficult to grasp the final baking situation." He choked up and said, "If you don't come back in 10 minutes, the sponge cake will be burnt."

The persistence of the pastry chef has become a flaw in the complete crime.

Sugiya was eventually taken into a police car.

Qinghai Chuantang didn't know whether he would regret the choice he made today.

But for a proud pastry chef, a work that cannot be signed may become the pain of his life.

Honor, applause, flowers, all belong to another person.

"Thank you!"

After the case was over, Kadoya Zhuhang bowed deeply to thank them.

Sonoko scratched his hair with a dazed expression, and finally realized what was going on.

It seemed that he had unknowingly found out the truth again.

Fangu Ruoye looked at him with a sweet smile.

Just as he was about to walk towards him, a woman called his name, then ran over and hugged him.

Zhuhe Hanako raised her head and said happily: "I have always believed in you, that's great. I told my father about your innocence, and he was very happy. He said that you are the only one who can marry my daughter."

Kadoya Zhuhang smiled at them apologetically, and hurried forward, eager to leave here.

During the period, he also glanced at the direction where Fangu Ruoye was.

As for Zhuhe Hanako, as if she didn't know it at all, she followed obediently.

Like an excited little sparrow, it keeps chirping.

"Now that the case is over and the competition is over, it's time to go back."

"It's a pity that I didn't see it as a competition. But, if I didn't come up with an idea this time, I guess you wouldn't be able to detect the flaw so quickly."

"Yes, yes, thank you for half of it."

Mai Kirishima was full of anger, pretending to be angry and said: "Don't call me half!"

When she reached the door of the hotel, a familiar figure stopped her.

"Miss Tang, please wait a moment."

Aoi Akagawa looked at her, smiled and said, "I have something very important to tell you."

Although he was a little suspicious, but out of curiosity, Qinghai Chuantang followed him and walked aside.

I don't know what the other party said to her, which made her kneel on the ground all of a sudden.

He held his head in his hands, trembling all over, looking very painful.

"Blowing Boy. Blowing Boy"

She kept whispering a person's name.

Mai Kirishima was still waiting, not knowing what happened to her, not to mention it happened to be in a blind spot.

But Xiaolan and the others who had just walked out of the hotel seemed to hear someone's voice.

Although a little faint.

Xunsheng walked over and saw such a scene.

"Sister Xiaotang, are you alright?" Xiaolan asked cautiously, tentatively.

When the other party turned her head, she saw that her eyes were already red from crying.

Her lips trembled, she said the name one last time, and passed out on the floor.

"Sister Xiaotang? Sister Xiaotang!"

He shook the opponent a few times desperately, but there was no reaction at all.

"Ambulance! Quick, call an ambulance!"

Their voices finally managed to attract Mai Kirishima.

Looking at this scene, she couldn't help but froze in place.

Exactly, what happened.
Fortunately, Qinghai Chuantang is fine.

just
"The patient was greatly stimulated just now. Although I don't know what happened, if possible, it's best not to stimulate her, because it may bring the patient to the brink of collapse at any time."

After explaining, the doctor left the ward.

Under the persuasion of Kirishima Mai, Xiaolan and Sonoko left the hospital.

Said that the other party was just a little tired recently, and there was nothing serious about it.

Mai Kirishima knew that she didn't want those children to see her vulnerable side.

It has always been so strong.

However, Conan finally chose to stay.

Because after she wakes up, there are important questions waiting for her answer.

"That day, she told me a lot."

"what?"

Kirishima Mai looked bewildered, completely clueless.

Conan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the other party was not an insider.

He waved his hands quickly, pretending to be a child, and said with a sneer, "It's nothing, Sister Mai was just hallucinated by you."

However, Mai Kirishima was not perfunctory by him like this.

She lowered her head, looked at Conan, rubbed her chin and thought.

"I always feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

"Maybe. It's just a coincidence."

Hattori Heiji who put on powder, and Souji Okita who put on powder and changed his hairstyle can all be [-]% similar to his real Kudo Shinichi.

Not to mention someone who might be almost exactly like him.

Mai Kirishima moved closer, and the tips of their noses almost collided.

After staring and examining for a while, she got up and said, "I just feel like I saw you when I was a child."

Conan heheed a few times with no expression on his face.

When you were born, I wasn't even a tadpole, right?
