However, Toru Amuro thought to himself: There is one thing that is puzzling.
——Uzo specially invited him to come to the Municipal Building to watch the "grand fireworks festival." Using such an adjective, it couldn't be just to assassinate a cooking teacher with a bad temper.
There must be another conspiracy.
Could it be that Uzo wanted to cause a gas explosion and send everyone in the classroom to the sky?
Amuro Toru's eyes were alert for a moment.
But recalling the scene in the classroom just now, he felt that this was not easy to do - there was no gas stove in this classroom, and they all used electromagnetic heating. It was a bit difficult to create an explosion.
Wait, speaking of "fireworks"...
Toru Amuro suddenly remembered something.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket and clicked on the email Jiang Xia sent him just now.
Inside was a photo of a collage of one-word threatening letters - "The flower of death will bloom at the party tonight."
"Flower of Death..."
Toru Amuro repeated it in a low voice, trying to figure out whether this "death flower" and the "fireworks" mentioned by Uzo were the same kind of "flower".
…
Wu Zuo's thoughts could not be understood for a while.
However, since there is little progress in the cooking classroom for the time being, it seems necessary to meet up with Jiang Xia first to see what's going on there, especially regarding the threatening letter.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro looked around and installed a mini surveillance camera in the corner of the corridor, facing the door of the cooking classroom, so that he could monitor the situation at the door from his mobile phone at any time.
——In this way, if Usa... No, if Subaru Okiya really plans to blow up the kitchen, then he himself will definitely leave here first. He will be able to detect it in time and have more time to react.
…
After doing this, Toru Amuro looked at the well-hidden camera, turned around and went downstairs to find Jiang Xia.
He quickly went down to the banquet hall.
Feeling the lively and harmonious environment around him, Toru Amuro couldn't help but feel a little emotional - with Jiang Xia and several of his classmates here, it can be so peaceful here, it's really not getting used to it.
Just as the thought came to an end, I suddenly heard a frightened scream of "Ouch——!!" coming from the distance.
"?!"
Toru Amuro's steps froze.
He raised his head suddenly and stared at the direction of the sound.
After looking at it for a while, he finally sighed and ran over tiredly and quickly.
…
Turning around the employee passage, they saw Jiang Xia, three people, and a strange woman standing at the door of a lounge.
The door was wide open. Judging from the shocked reactions of the four people, there was obviously something not good in the room - such as a corpse, or... two corpses?
Toru Amuro bravely ran over: "...What happened?"
Jiang Xia came back to her senses and saw him approaching. She stepped aside a little from the door of the room to give the boss a viewing position.
Amuro Toru looked into the room.
…
The luxurious lounge is carpeted, with sofas and coffee tables in the middle for entertaining guests.
On one of the couches, a middle-aged man was lying on it, his chest was not rising, and a tight and deformed tie was wrapped around his neck. He looked dead.
Amuro Toru's eyes swept across the lounge, taking in all the information in an instant.
His first reaction was - there was only one body?
"..."
Toru Amuro calmly pressed his forehead to drive out the thoughts that a police officer should not have, and then said like the boss of a detective agency:
"Call the police."
After a pause, he looked at the well-dressed deceased in the lounge: "By the way, who is this?"
Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko felt from the folds of her dress skirt, took out a mobile phone, and dialed the police unskilledly - usually Xiaolan would call the police when she encountered a murder, and she would call the ambulance. Now her functions were changed.
Her movements were not as neat as before.
Jiang Xia answered Amuro Toru’s question:
"I remember his name is Daisuke Shiraki, and he is the patron of Miss Okano Rika, the protagonist of this dinner. I'm not sure about the details."
With that said, Jiang Xia looked at the secretary next to him who had not recovered yet, and signaled Toru Amuro that if he had any questions, he could ask this "suspicious person" who took the initiative to lead them to the break room.
…
Toru Amuro asked a few questions meaningfully.
After that, he took out his mobile phone, turned around and leaned against the wall, secretly logged into the organization's internal intelligence database, and entered the name "Shiraki Daisuke".
The page refreshed and related information of several people with the same name was displayed.
Toru Amuro quickly identified one of them based on various information.
He clicked on the page, glanced at the information page, and quickly scrolled down to the notes.
The organization will collect slightly famous people into the database so that members can "use" them in various ways and purposes when necessary. The remarks column often contains the "recommended use methods" of those people, as well as their and their
relationships between organizations.
And currently it seems...
Toru Amuro pressed his cell phone and thought: Daisuke Shiraki doesn't seem to have much contact with the organization. This president just likes to praise some celebrities and let them endorse his products, and occasionally hypes up various news, which is equivalent to half a
Arts Office.
Toru Amuro: "..." Since it has nothing to do with the organization, could it be that this murder case has nothing to do with Uzo and is just an accident?
Or maybe this unlucky president accidentally offended Uzo somewhere and was targeted?
…
Tohru Amuro didn’t stay on the page for too long.
He was about to exit. But before that, he suddenly remembered something and entered "Okiya Subaru" again and clicked search.
This time, unlike when I searched for "Daisuke Shiraki" just now, Toru Amuro couldn't find any relevant information.
There are two possibilities for this. One is that Subaru Okiya really has nothing to do with the organization.
The other kind, the information related to "Okiya Subaru", was deliberately hidden.
Toru Amuro: "..." According to his previous investigation, "Uzo"'s confidentiality authority seems to have always been very high.
If Uzo wanted to deliberately hide certain files, he could indeed achieve the current effect.
Toru Amuro thoughtfully exited the webpage and put away his mobile phone.
He was not surprised by this "fruitless result" - "Okiya Subaru" was a guy suspected of being "Usa". If he checked the database and information about him immediately popped up, things would seem weird.
…
Not long after, the police arrived.
The Mumu Police Department returned to this familiar neighborhood and directed their men to investigate the scene.
At the same time, he looked around, and his eyes quickly locked onto a person in the corner.
Mumu Police Department walked directly to Jiang Xia and asked expectantly: "What do you think?"
Jiang Xia thought for a while and said directly: "There was no trace of resistance. The deceased seemed to walk very peacefully. He may have been strangled to death while unconscious. In addition, if he was strangled from the front instantly by a very strong person,
Even if you kill him, you can create a similar scene."
