Chapter 661 A scream came out suddenly, from now on...
"Don't worry, even if it breaks, it can be repaired."
Fujino Yasuo on the side looked at Conan with a slumped face, and thought he was unhappy because he didn't make the cake, so he smiled and comforted: "I will help you decorate it, and then I will give the cake to you."
After speaking, Fujino Yasuo smiled and looked at Sonoko aside and said with a smile: "You will also come to the afternoon activity, right?"
"Yeah! Of course I'm back!" Yuanzi looked at the other party's handsome smile and instantly fell in love with him, and agreed without thinking.
Tang Ze and the others, who had long been accustomed to this, could only helplessly hold their foreheads and sigh.
However, Sonoko's love interest faded as quickly as it came, and soon she was tempted by the dessert and headed to Tomomi Morimoto's side.
"You are truly a candy magician." Ayako looked at the various shapes of candies on the table and sighed: "It's like a work of art."
"And it's very transparent, with a texture like glass." Conan looked at the candy in front of him and echoed: "It looks so exquisite."
"Thank you for your compliment. This transparency is actually the key to the taste."
Tomomi Morimoto looked at Conan and handed over a candy in the shape of a white rabbit with a smile and said: "This is for you, try it~ Candy tastes better when it's fresh~
Actually, sister, I really hope to win the candy competition one day~"
After thanking Conan, he took the candy and put it in his mouth. He nodded and said, "This is really delicious."
"Yeah, then give me a piece of this." Tangze heard what Conan, who didn't really want to eat desserts, said, so he simply bought a bag of white rabbit-shaped candies and distributed them to everyone.
Several people walked to the booth of Ironman champion Tsuyoshi Maeda while eating candies.
Looking at the snacks in front of her, Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, "There are so many cakes, which one should I eat first... There are so many kinds, and sometimes it's a tangle..."
"Humph, only children make choices, adults, I want them all!" Yuanzi said the "saucy words" he learned from Tang Ze, and said to Xiaolan: "Of course, in this case, you have to eat them all.
You won’t regret it!”
"This is too exaggerated..." Hearing her best friend's words, Xiaolan turned her head and looked behind her speechlessly: "Eat them all..."
Before she could finish her words, the sight in front of her made Xiaolan's words stop abruptly.
Because at this moment, the tray in Yuanzi's hand was stacked with various cakes, large and small, even forming the shape of a hill.
"Uh..." Xiaolan looked at Yuanzi and said, "Are you exaggerating a bit..."
"Kukuku~" Sonoko said as he took a tray and handed it to Xiaolan: "Come on, come on, one for this, one for this, and this..."
After a while, the tray in Xiaolan's hand was piled up like a mountain of cakes.
Because there were so many desserts, Xiaolan even became a little embarrassed and had beanie eyes.
It has to be said that Sonoko is the most down-to-earth young lady. Not only will she be excited about half-price event cakes, but she will also occasionally do things that most people would find embarrassing.
For example, this time she took a bunch of cakes as if she had never seen the world before. Who knew that she could buy the entire venue just by talking.
But this is also the cute thing about Yuanzi, and only someone like her can become good best friends with Xiaolan.
"What are you doing?" Yuanzi looked at Conan with a small shovel in his hand and said with a smile, "Xiao Siyan, do you want my help?"
Conan's expression changed when he heard this and he quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No need!"
"Eh? Sister, why don't you take it?" Sonoko looked at Karasawa and Ayako who were empty-handed and couldn't help but wonder.
"You have all taken so much, we can just eat what you have taken."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "If it's to taste more cakes, why don't the five of us share it? If you like something particularly, you can go and get a separate portion."
"What a great idea!" Yuanzi's eyes lit up: "This way we can eat more cakes!"
"After all, there are activities in the afternoon, so eating this way is the most efficient." Tangze said with a smile.
Well, in a way, Karasawa is just as "greedy" as Sonoko.
'Ha... that helped a lot...'
Conan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. If he was asked to take so much cake, he really wouldn't be able to eat it, but if he divided it a little bit and ate it as a sample, as Karasawa said, then he could still accept it.
After the two selected the cake, they went to find a seat. Karasawa quickly divided the cake into five portions with a knife and fork and began to taste them one by one.
Although the two of them picked a lot of cakes, they were all in pieces after all. It was not too much to share among five people. They cut and divided the cakes and quickly ate almost all the cakes on the tray.
"This is a great idea from my brother-in-law."
On the side, Yuanzi seemed not to be affected at all, "After eating so many kinds of cakes, I feel like I'm only half full. I can eat as much as I want during the afternoon activities!"
And because Karasawa had ordered black tea and cakes early, the situation of being so sweet that it made his throat itchy did not occur.
"So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."
Just when everyone had finished eating and were drinking black tea and chatting, Yasuo Fujino came over with a piece of cake. He looked at Conan and said with a smile: "This is the log cake you made before. Do you like it?"
Everyone looked at the cake on the tray and couldn't help but admire it.
What is placed on the tray at the moment is a piece of "wood", the textures on it are visible to the naked eye, and the part destroyed by Conan has now turned into a pattern of growth rings.
Paired with a few "dead leaves" made of chocolate, it looks like real wooden piles at first glance.
"The decoration is so beautiful, it feels like it has been redone." Looking at Conan's wry smile, Tang Ze smiled and praised: "It's really an amazing craftsmanship."
"You're flattered." Fujino Yasuo said with a smile: "But this is really a slight modification on the cake made by the children, not a redo."
"It's really nice. It's like a work of art."
When Sonoko praised, he did not mean to be polite to Conan, the little brat. He took a fork and directly inserted a piece: "It looks like real wood, and it feels delicious!"
While talking, Yuanzi couldn't wait to open his mouth, ready to taste this exquisite cake.
But before the cake could be put into his mouth, a shrill scream instantly came from the house, attracting everyone's attention.
Tang Ze's face darkened, and he told the others to stay where they were, and immediately stood up and chased Conan toward the source of the scream.
Pushing open the door to the house, Conan, taking advantage of his small size, immediately rushed in through the crack in the door that Tangze pushed open.
And soon he saw the two pastry chefs Tsuyoshi Maeda and Tomomi Morimoto whom he had met before.
However, the two of them were obviously in a bad state at this moment. Tomomi Morimoto was covering her face and sobbing out of fear, while Tsuyoshi Maeda also closed his eyes, as if he didn't dare to look ahead.
Tangze came to the two of them and saw a middle-aged woman with short hair lying on the ground behind the cashier.
He quickly stepped forward and put his fingers on the other person's neck, feeling for his pulse, and finally shook his head.
From the moment he heard this standard scream, Tang Ze actually had the possibility in his heart that the victim could not be saved.
After all, although the scream may be uttered by different people and may occasionally be absent, every time it is sounded it almost indicates the death of a life.
Well, the reason why it is "almost" is because occasionally there are some lucky people or important supporting characters who are spared a small life due to luck or Conan's favor, so I don't use "all" to describe it.
But this time the deceased obviously did not have such good luck, and sadly became the victim of Conan.
Well, any case where Conan is present has nothing to do with Tang Ze's "Reaper Physique". Tang Ze confidently puts the blame on Conan.
However, this was not the time to take the blame. After asking the two people about the identity of the deceased, Tang Ze guessed what the plot of this case was.
To put it simply, this case is another case of grudges between employees and their bosses.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze couldn't help but sigh a little when he looked at the corpse of the store manager in front of him.
In the world of Kexue, there are actually many victims who are bosses. It is an out-and-out high-risk occupation...
Even though he has summarized N "Laws of Ke Xue" and is a well-deserved top master in the "Ke Xue Circle", he still cannot prevent all murder cases.
You are just like this case. They just came over to have a dessert, and no one came up to chat with them to form a team. There was no warning at all, and the murder just happened.
Moreover, the middle-aged woman Tang Ze and the others had never seen or encountered the dead middle-aged woman. How do you prevent it...
Before the incident, the chef was a stranger to them like an "NPC" selling things. They would have noticed that there was a conflict among them and a case might occur, unless Tang Ze saw them arguing.
It's a pity that Tangze, who was obsessed with cakes this time, may have missed this possible sign of a crime. Unaware of it, he missed the opportunity for a generous reward.
"Call the police, the person is dead"
Suppressing all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Tang Ze inspected the body and explained to Conan.
Afterwards, he stood up and showed the criminal certificate to the two people at the scene, and then asked them to call the security personnel to help maintain the scene.
When the siren sounded, Officer Memu arrived with his troops and saw Tang Ze with surprise: "Kang Ze-kun, why are you here? And Lan Sang, Conan..."
"We came here to participate in a dessert event, who knew we would encounter something like this..."
Tang Ze always felt that the other party's surprise meant something, as if he was saying "Why are you always there at the murder scene?"
So he laughed awkwardly, quickly changed the subject and reported the case situation he had sorted out.
The morning activities ended shortly after twelve o'clock, and the body was discovered around twelve thirty.
After twelve o'clock, there were only three or five pastry chefs left in the room. Among them, Yasuo Fujino made Conan's cake and sent it to them.
After Tomomi Morimoto asked the children at the counter to go out to eat, she returned to the kitchen to prepare cookies for the afternoon activity.
Tsuyoshi Maeda also went out because the office called him to ask for something, so he went to the office within 10 minutes after 12:25.
In addition, according to the testimony of Fujino Yasuo.
When he went out, the store manager Hashigaki Sachiko, the deceased, was checking accounts, but because he was very attentive, he did not say hello to him.
"In other words, the prisoner killed someone within a few minutes of Mr. Fujino walking out to deliver the cake to Conan, right?"
After listening to the information collected by Karasawa, Officer Megure nodded, then looked at Tsuyoshi Maeda aside and said: "When I just listened to Karasawa's retelling of his testimony, I was a little confused. It seems that your testimony is the only one that is very accurate.
Tell me the reason?"
"Actually, this is my occupational disease." Tsuyoshi Maeda explained: "I am used to checking the watch at all times when making cakes, because I need to use timers such as ovens."
"I asked you about this just now." Karasawa explained: "Mr. Maeda is the champion of the Iron Man Cake Competition. We saw him cooking three kinds of dishes at the same time this morning.
That’s when I noticed Mr. Maeda’s habit of caring about time.”
He also noticed this problem before Officer Megure arrived, and then relied on his own memory palace to quickly recall the other party's behavior in the morning, confirming that he indeed had such a habit and was not lying.
"So that's it." Officer Memu nodded clearly and asked, "Then I wonder if you have met anyone else in the office?"
"I'm the only one." Maeda shook his head and said, "Everyone else seems to have gone to eat."
"Is that so..."
Officer Megure pondered for a moment and concluded: "That is to say, shortly after Mr. Fujino left, the Hashigaki store manager was killed, and Mr. Maeda was also outside at the time..."
"Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case." Chiba, who was on duty today, nodded while recording the testimony.
"Then the only one who has been staying in the house is you, Miss Morimoto Tomomi?"
Megure turned to look at Tomomi Morimoto and asked, "You said you didn't see anyone coming in at all, right?"
"Well... that's it..." Morimoto Tomomi seemed to be still in shock after seeing the corpse, and said with some non-commitment after hearing Officer Megure's question.
"The cause of death of the deceased was obviously a heavy blow to the back of the head, so the murder weapon is probably still inside the Cake Museum. A comprehensive search must be carried out immediately to make sure the murder weapon is found!!"
After Mu Mu compiled the information, he immediately looked at Chiba and the others and ordered.
"Yes!" Chiba and another young criminal wearing glasses immediately started taking action after receiving the order.
But before that, Chiba sneaked up to Tang Ze and whispered: "Tang Ze Criminal, it seems that the deceased was hit hard on the head. There should be blood on the murder weapon. I wonder if you have noticed...
"
However, under Chiba's expectant eyes, Tang Ze slowly shook his head.
