Wednesday, January 3rd, evening, Kotani Village, Nagano Prefecture, Twilight House.

Yamazaki and Aki Ishihara came out of the restaurant, went to Yamazaki's room together to get beef, and then went to the kitchen.

Yamazaki saw the way Aki Ishihara was holding a kitchen knife and gesturing at the beef, shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, put the knife down, there is not much of this kind of good meat on a cow, and it will be a waste to cut it like this for you." ”

Aki Ishihara gave a roll of his eyes, "You see, then if you don't say it earlier, I'll be happy for a long time." Then he put down his knife and gave way to Yamazaki, "I deliberately learned the way a woman walks, and I sprinkled perfume, how did you recognize me? Or what kind of scent?"

"Yes, it's a good idea to stay away. Yamazaki said, and then asked helplessly, "But when did you have this habit?"

"What do you say?" Aki Ishihara said with a smile, "I think it's the after-effects of working at Medi Restaurant, and you should give me a medical bill." ”

"Okay, I'll find someone to help you heal. Yamazaki laughed.

Aki Ishihara said, "That's still free, just because I didn't say it just now." Then he took a plate of seafood sashimi from the six plates of seafood sashimi from the exquisite dishes on the kitchen counter, "I'm really hungry when I see this, do you want to have some?"

Yamazaki smiled: "I won't eat it, I advise you not to eat it either." ”

"Why?" Aki Ishihara quickly stopped, "Is it really poisonous?

"Smells it. Yamazaki said, "It's not poison, but harmful substances, and I'm afraid that these seafood have been specially treated, so that a lot of harmful substances have accumulated in their bodies, and they will attack in this remote place, and when they get to the hospital, I am afraid they will not be able to save them." ”

"What are each of these six plates?" asked Aki Ishihara.

"All six plates. Yamazaki said, "The rest of the dishes should be fine." ”

"That's weird, that foodie detective, doesn't look like he's trying to kill himself. Aki Ishihara said.

"Foodie and chef are two different concepts, and not every chef can tell the difference. Yamazaki said.

"Are you saying that you're a great cook?" asked Aki Ishihara angrily.

"To be honest, I don't have much cooking skills, I mainly know how to chop vegetables, I can master the heat, I know when to put the seasoning, and I am a cook at best. Yamazaki said, "I don't know much about the origin of the food, the culture, and so on. ”

Looking at the beef cut by Yamazaki, which was comparable in size and similar in thickness, Aki Ishihara gave a pair of eyes again, "Those can't be eaten." ”

"By the way," Yamazaki asked, "why are you here?"

"You don't know?" asked Aki Ishihara, confused.

"What do you know?" Yamazaki asked rhetorically.

"What the black invitation means. Aki Ishihara said.

"Why should I know?" asked Yamazaki rhetorically.

"Well, to put it simply, the signature on it means that it's an apparition of Kidd. Aki Ishihara said.

"Did you send it?" asked Yamazaki.

"Of course not, I don't do such boring things during the Chinese New Year. Aki Ishihara said.

"I heard that Haruki Motegi became an employee of Auntie, and you learned about it from him, so come and see?" Yamazaki asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes, thank you for that, if it weren't for the bulletproof car you sent, my mother might have died. Aki Ishihara said fearfully, "Those guys even dare to use bazookas, and they are really unscrupulous enough." ”

Yamazaki said, "That's the biggest difference between organized and single, they have a manpower, whether it's the one who is guilty or the one who hunts you down. ”

"Forget it, spend money to eliminate the disaster, it's over anyway. Aki Ishihara said, then asked, "By the way, did you do your homework before you came?"

"No, when the expedition comes. "But I can guess who prepared these dishes, but I have a question to ask you, are all the ingredients for these dishes prepared by you?"

Aki Ishihara said: "This seafood was delivered by me to the village this morning, and I bought everything else according to the order. ”

"When did you come?" asked Yamazaki.

"Yesterday during the day, Miss Ishihara was a little scared here, so I gave her a sum of money and said that I was willing to replace her, and she said everything. Aki Ishihara said.

"Have you inspected the house?" asked Yamazaki.

"I checked the inside of the house and didn't find any special mechanisms, but I didn't expect the explosives to be in the parking lot. Aki Ishihara said.

"What about the dummy?" asked Yamazaki.

"I didn't see a dummy, and since that white horse detective came here today, he and Gunda Ikumi have been secretly staring at each other, so it's likely that the ghost was done by Zhu Shan. Aki Ishihara said, "In other words, tonight's banquet was held by Zhuzen Ojo, but now it seems that he has an accomplice, and he plans to kill everyone together, including Zhuzen Ojo." ”

"This guy is the one who doesn't eat these dishes. Yamazaki said.

"Nonsense, I know that without saying it. Aki Ishihara said angrily.

"The old woman. Yamazaki said.

"She?" Aki Ishihara was surprised, "why her?"

"If you look at the order of serving, there was a dish with seafood in it before this seafood sashimi. "It's not good for an elderly person to eat a lot of seafood at night, and it makes perfect sense for her to use this as an excuse not to eat it." ”

"That's a good guess, but what is she for?" asked Aki Ishihara.

Yamazaki said, "Have you done your homework? ”

Aki Ishihara said, "This is the Karasuma family's house, and there has been a tragedy before......"

"Wait, you mean the Karasuma family?" Yamazaki picked up a plate, "The Karasuma family is marked by this crow sign at the bottom of the plate?"

Aki Ishihara said, "I guess, anyway, I see a lot of these signs in this house. ”

"Well, if something happens here, Kidd's black cauldron is on the back. Yamazaki laughed.

Aki Ishihara asked, "Isn't it? Is there a treasure or something like that?"

"Yes. Yamazaki smiled, "It's a treasure of hundreds of tons of gold." ”

"What!" Aki Ishihara was taken aback.

At this time, Yamazaki packed up the kitchen utensils, arranged the dishes on the dining car, and left one in the kitchen, "Okay, this one is yours, let's go, and when you serve coffee after the meal, use the coffee set I washed." ”

Soon after, Yamazaki and Aki Ishihara pushed the food cart into the restaurant. ……

Restaurant.

Detective Bai Ma smiled, "No, I just understand what happened tonight." ”

At this time, Yamazaki and Aki Ishihara came with a dining cart, and Yamazaki said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after supper." As he spoke, he asked Aki Ishihara to serve the food.

"Uh, this beef sashimi," Hakuba asked, "I want to eat cooked, is that okay?"

"How can this be cooked, this kind of good beef must be eaten raw. "Great Blessing Praise Kindness.

Yamazaki smiled: "Mr. Hakuba, I know about the beef problem in Europe, I understand your worries, you can eat it with confidence." ”

After that, one person was given a supper, beef sashimi and vegetable soup, and then it was time for Mori and the others to be late for dinner, and Yamazaki and Midako also accompanied them to use one, and Aki Ishihara went back to the kitchen to eat first, and then brought the after-dinner coffee.

Taking a sip of coffee, Yamazaki said, "Mr. Hakuba explained what was going on here tonight, please explain." ”……
