Saturday, April 4th, more than six o'clock in the evening, Kakudo Town, Kamimi Tomoya, living room.

After everyone looked at the menu, Yoshitomo Uemori said, "What we're going to make today is shiitake mushroom soup, duck with orange sauce, and we're going to use pears to make pudding for the dim sum part." ”

At this time, Maori's voice came into the room, "I want to eat ducks, and I honestly like ducks." ”

"Yuko. Yoshitomo Uemori frowned.

Yuko Komiyayama hurriedly pulled out the screen in the corner of the wall and blocked it between the cooking table and the table, blocking the sight of Mori, Conan, and Yamazaki outside.

Midaiko found a gemstone ring on Yoshitomo Uemori's left hand, "That, Uemori-sensei, the ring on your hand ......"

"Oh, I'm not going to touch the ingredients with my hands today. Yoshitomo Uemori smiled, and then found that Hiroaki Nishitani also had a ring on his hand, "How many times do you want me to say that you don't wear a ring on your finger when cooking." ”

"Yes, yes, I forgot to take it off. Nishitani quickly took off the ring and put it in his pocket.

After that, Yoshitomo Uemori started cooking, but stopped halfway through it, and then asked Sonoko, Ran, Midaiko, Kazue Yashiro, Hiroaki Nishitani, and Uemori to do the same, while she checked their schoolwork.

Yoshitomo Uemori said to Sonoko, "The mushrooms should be cut evenly and sliced. ”

"Yes, teacher. The garden said.

Yoshitomo Uemori said to Lan, "You have a good way of chopping vegetables, so you can cook at home often." ”

"It's fine. Lan said.

Yoshitomo Uemori said to Midaiko, "Well, you don't need to cut it that thin, you're trained in Japanese cuisine, it's a mushroom, not a sashimi." ”

"Oh, got it. Mei Daiko said.

Yoshitomo Uemori said to Yashiro Kazue: "I said why are you so clumsy, you haven't made progress as before, you have to work hard." ”

"Yes. Yashiro Kazueda said.

Yoshitomo Uemori said to Uemori: "Look at the eggs you beat, the egg whites and yolks are mixed together, we just need the egg whites." ”

"I'm sorry, because I can only see with my right eye, and the sense of distance is a bit of a problem. Kamimori said.

"Don't make excuses. Yoshitomo Uemori said, and then asked Yuko Komiyayama, "Where is the Greeyou cheese I asked you to prepare? Why didn't I see it?"

"I'm sorry, I'm going to get it. Yuko Komiyayama left.

"Really, you three are like this all the time. Yoshitomo Uemori said, and then said to Hiroaki Nishitani, "You're still so decent, it's enough to be a chef in a small restaurant, but it's still far from a high-end hotel." ”

"I'll try. Hiroaki Nishitani said.

After a lap, Yoshitomo Uemori returned to her place and began to demonstrate the next steps.

On the other hand, Maori was impatient and became addicted to smoking, only to find that if he wanted to go out, he had to go through the cooking station.

Seeing this, Conan said, "Uncle, there is a door next to the bathroom in the back that should lead to the outside, I'll take you there." ”

When Mori and Conan walked to the back door, the lights suddenly went out, and then Yoshitomo Uemori's voice came from the room, "Yuko, you hurry up and go to the power distribution room to see the power switch." Immediately after that, there was a man's scream, which sounded like Hiroaki Nishitani, so he hurriedly ran back.

On the other side, the living room.

After the lights went out, Michimo Uemori immediately asked Yuko Komiyayama to go to the power distribution room, and on the fire on the cooking table, Meidaiko found that Hiroaki Nishitani, who was approaching Yoshitomo Uemori, suddenly waved behind Michimo Uemori's back, although he didn't see Hiroaki Nishitani holding something in his hand, but seeing that the action was stabbing people with something, he threw the kitchen knife in his hand, and the handle hit Hiroaki Nishitani's hand, which made Hiroaki Nishitani scream immediately.

Yoshitomo Uemori asked in surprise, "Nishiya, why are you here?"

"I, that," said Nishitani Hiroaki, "I wanted to help Yuko and pass by here." With that, he went to chase Yuko Komiyayama.

Kamimori asked, "What was the sound just now?"

Yashiro Kazueda said, "Looks like someone's knife has fallen." ”

Yuanzi and Lan noticed Mei Daizi's action of throwing the knife, and asked in a surprised whisper together, "Mei Daizi?"

"I think he's stabbing Uemori-sensei with something," said Midaiko, "It's the hilt of the knife, don't worry." Then he said to Yamazaki who came over, "Brother, it's true." ”

"I believe in you. Yamazaki said, and walked over to Yoshitomo Kamimori.

At this time, Mori ran in, "Mr. Nishitani, what just happened?"

"No, nothing. Nishitani wanted to leave as he spoke.

"Mr. Uemori, borrowed it. Yamazaki said and squatted down.

"What are you looking for?" said Yoshitomo Uemori, then spotted the kitchen knife on the ground, "Ahh ”

"What?" Mori grabbed Hiroaki Nishitani's left arm, "I still want to run in front of my Mori Kogoro." ”

"What!" Yoshitomo Uemori and the others were taken aback.

"Uncle finally gave his name. Conan muttered with a smile, and then ran to the power distribution room, if he did the murder, the power outage would not be accidental.

"No, no, I didn't, the knife wasn't mine. Nishitani exclaimed in alarm.

"Well, Uncle Maori," said Midaiko, "I threw the knife away." ”

"It's just to save Mr. Kamimori. "Yamazaki touched something on the ground and wrapped it in a tissue.

At this time, the lights came on, and at the same time Conan's voice came, "Uncle, there's a strange thing here in the power distribution room. ”

"Ran, inform the Twilight Police Department, Midaiko, to come and see Mr. Nishiya. Maori said, "Yamazaki, follow me to the power distribution room." As he spoke, he took out his phone and put it on the counter.

"Yes, Dad. Lan said.

"No problem. Mei Daiko smiled.

"I'll go with you. Sonoko said, but Yoshimo Uemori, Kazue Yashiro, and Kazue Uemori also followed.

A moment later, the power distribution room.

There was a lot of melted ice on the ground, and a thin rope with a fist-sized weight attached to it next to it.

Yoshitomo Uemori asked, "What is this?"

Mori says, "This is supposed to be a timer made by Mr. Nishitani that uses ice to melt to cut off the power supply. ”

"Nishiya?" Yuko Komiyama was taken aback.

"I see," said Kazue Yashiro, "hang a line on the switch of the power supply, tie a weight to the other end of the line, and put the ice cube under the weight, so that when the ice melts, the weight falls under the force of gravity, and the power switch is turned off." ”

Kamimori said: "Timer device, that is, Nishiya planned to attack your mother from the beginning. ”

"No, it's unforgivable. Michimo Uemori was so angry that her face changed.

Maori asked Yamazaki, "By the way, what did you find on the ground, is it a murder weapon?"

"A needle. Yamazaki handed over a tissue with a needle in it.

"Needle?" Maori looked at his hand, "how does this kill?"

Yamazaki said, "There are many ways, but it is impossible to know whether Mr. Nishitani was going to kill him at that time. ”

Yashiro Kazueda said, "Yes, holding a needle in your hand doesn't mean anything. ”

Yoshitomo Uemori said, "I forgot, you also play with needlework." ”

Kamimori said: "That said, Mom, you can't just let him go so cheaply. ”

"Not bad. Yoshitomo Uemori asked, "Detective Maori, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

"Well," Maori said after a moment's thought, "if he had a motive to kill, it could be said that he wanted to kill you." ”

"The motive for the killing?" said Yoshitomo Uemori, "let me think about it." ”

Moments later, the living room.

Sonoko told the blackout device she saw, and Kochi met with Midaiko and Ran.

Yoshitomo Uemori confronted Hiroaki Nishitani and asked, "Why did you kill me?"

"Kill you, I don't understand what you're talking about, teacher. Nishitani Hiroaki said, "If there is someone here who wants to kill you, Miss Kazueda and Miss Xun are, one is the teacher and your rival in love for decades, and the other is suffering from your domestic violence, that eye should have been beaten by your son." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about," Yashiro Kazueda said, "since Uemori has chosen her, of course I can only respect his choice." ”

"Don't talk about us," Uemori said, "it was you who showed up with my mother at the time." ”

"Yes, so you're the only suspect. Mori said, then asked, "Mr. Nishitani, you put that blackout device in the power distribution room, right?"

"I don't even know what you're talking about. Hiroaki Nishitani said.

Yoshitomo Uemori asked, "Is it because of that contract that you want to kill me?"

Seeing that Nishitani Hiroaki's face had changed, and Yuko Komiyayama's face had also changed, Maori asked curiously, "What contract is it?"

"What kind of contract? Isn't it the debt contract she used to control her disciples?" Nishitani Hiroaki said, "Detective Maori, the tuition fee here is only 10,000 yen, and this is what she brought up after she became famous, if she only makes a living from this, where would she have achieved her current achievements." ”

"What about this?" asked Maori.

Hiroaki Nishitani asked Yoshitomo Uemori, "Did you tell Detective Mori yourself, or did I tell you for you?"

"What can't be said. Yoshitomo Uemori said, "I received that money in a bright light." ”

"What money?" asked the garden, surprised.

"Mom said that there is something to trap people here, so that's what I think is going to be. Mei Daizi said, "I also asked my brother to bring a lot of cash." ”

"Wouldn't it?" said Lan, "I think Mr. Mori teaches very well." ”

"When the bill comes to you, you won't say that. "In addition to the tuition fee for each class, there are also material fees, equipment rental fees, etc. ”

"That's normal. "When I make clothes, the cost of handwork and materials are calculated separately. ”

Yuan Zi said, "Yes, we should pay for the materials ourselves." ”

"At best, it didn't make it clear at the beginning. Mei Daiko said.

"yes, what's wrong with that?" Lan asked.

"The problem is that the materials are imported from abroad, and everything is expensive. Nishitani said, "Like the one you used tonight, you will be charged 30,000 yen per person, which is quite cheap." ”

"Is it expensive?" asked Mei Daiko and Sonoko to Ran.

"Of course. "If I go to the supermarket and buy materials, I can make them at home, and 3,000 yen is enough." ”

Yoshitomo Uemori said, "The ingredients I have here are not comparable to those in the supermarket. ”

That's it, if she sees that person has no talent and no money, she will give that person a low-cost class, and then tell him that there is no future in this industry, and let them work to pay back. If that person is rich, it's just a fee. But if that person is gifted but has no money, she will give him expensive classes and then use the debt to tie them to her and make a lot of money for her. Nishitani Hiroaki said, "This is how Yuko and I were saddled with a high debt that we couldn't pay off, and we were controlled by her. ”

"I see. Kazue Yashiro said, "I said how Yuko didn't say anything about the idea being taken away." ”

"That money is my investment in you, it's your training fee," Yoshitomo Uemori said, "As for Yuko's idea, I bought it with money. Then he asked, "Did you say yes, Yuko?"

"Yes. Yuko Komiyayama bowed her head and said, "The teacher has reduced a lot of my debts. ”

"So that's what you're motivating about. Maori said to Hiroaki Nishitani.

At this time, the Twilight Police Department led the team to arrive.

Seeing Maori, the Twilight Police Department straightened up its triangular eyes, "You guy, what happened again?" and then looked around and asked, "Hey, where is the body?"

"What a body, that's the way it is. Maori laughed and told him what had happened.

"Well, that's why you asked me here because of this sewing needle," the Twilight Police Department asked angrily, holding the needle, "under what name do you want me to arrest this Nishitani-sama, an attempted murder?"

Mori said, "Mr. Nishitani has just said that that debt is his motive for killing......

"Wait, wait," said Nishitani, "I've never said anything about the motive for killing. ”

"It's true. Yashiro Kazueda said.

The Twilight Police Department asked, "So, Midaiko, did you really see that Mr. Nishitani wanted to stab Ms. Uemori with this needle?"

"Well, I only saw Mr. Nishitani reaching out behind Mr. Uemori, as if he was holding something in his hand, but the power went out at the time, and I couldn't see what he was holding. Mei Daiko said.

"I was just reaching out and moving my arm, and I wasn't holding anything in my hand at all. ”

The Twilight Police Department said, "So how do you explain this sewing needle, if there are your fingerprints on it......"

"Of course there are my fingerprints," said Nishitani, "and they may have been accidentally dropped by me as I passed by." ”

"That makes sense. The Twilight Police Department said, then asked, "Ms. Uemori, what else do you have to say, do you think Mr. Nishitani is trying to kill you?"

Yoshitomo Uemori said, "I think yes, Nishitani owes me a lot of debts, and if he wants to set up his own business, he must pay off all these debts first, and I think that's why he wants to kill me." ”

In that case, the motivation is very strong. The Twilight Police Department said, then asked, "Nishitani-san, do you have anything to say?"

Hiroaki Nishitani said: "I just want to say that I don't have ......"

Yamazaki persuaded: "Mr. Nishitani, your current crime is attempted murder, and you have not caused any substantial harm to Ms. Uemori, if you confess to surrender again......"

"This," Hiroshi Nishitani sighed after a moment of silence, "yes, I wanted to kill Yoshitomo Mori." ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "So, what is the motive?"

"Motivation," Nishitani sighed, "Motivation, so to speak, despair. ”

"Despair?" asked the Dusk Police Department.

Hiroaki Nishitani said, "Speaking of which, it is also related to that debt, and I have been collecting evidence of her fraud in Uemori......

"Fraud?" Mori asked, "You mean Ms. Uemori uses defective ingredients as good ingredients?"

"How is this possible?" shouted Yoshitomo Uemori, "don't listen to his nonsense. ”

The Twilight Police Department asked, "Mr. Nishitani?"

"When I went to France last month to study, I looked up the company that supplies it, but it really exists and it looks like a big company. Hiroaki Nishitani said.

"I see," Mori said, "you thought that Ms. Uemori was engaged in food price gouging, and you had always hoped that her actions would be exposed and her debts would be discharged, but now that you found out that she was not engaged in food price gouging, you felt despair at the thought of your own debts, and wanted to kill Ms. Uemori and free herself from her." ”

"Not bad at all. Nishitani Hiroaki said, and then glanced at Yuko Komiyayama, "Actually, also, I've been ...... since a long time ago."

"Don't say it," said Yuko Komiyama, "I know very well what you mean for me, but I don't want you to do such a thing for me at all, and I believe that I can go out one day in the open." ”

"Really?" said Hiroaki Nishitani laughing self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I am hopeless." Then he said to the Twilight Police Department, "Let's go." ”

Hiroaki Nishitani was taken away by the Twilight Police Department, and the cooking class was over.

Yoshitomo Uemori asked the three of them, "How is it, do you want to take classes with me?"

"I'm here to make up the numbers. Mei Daiko said.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet," Mitomo Uemori said, "Thank you so much just now." ”

"It doesn't matter. Mei Daiko smiled.

"This," Lan said, looking at Maori and seeing him shake his head, "I don't think I'll be able to come." ”

"To be honest," Mitomo Uemori said with a smile, "I'm also relieved to hear your words." Then he asked the garden, "What about you, Miss Garden?"

"Well, this ......" Yuan Zi hesitated.

Yamazaki smiled: "I see that you can invite Miss Yuko to your house to be a chef, and by the way, teach you how to cook, when you finish learning, and when to let her go." ”

"That's a good idea. Mei Daizi smiled, "Save yourself from dragging us along." ”

Yuanzi thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I just don't know if Miss Yuko can pass my mother's level." ”

"I'm very relieved of Yuko's talents," Yoshitomo Uemori asked with a smile, "but the cost is ......."

"Absolutely no problem in terms of cost. Sonoko smiled, "Then I'll send a car to pick up Miss Yuko tomorrow." ”

"Okay," Yoshitomo Uemori asked, "By the way, can you ask ...... your mansion?"

"Suzuki Foundation, Suzuki family. Yuan Zi smiled.

Yoshitomo Uemori and the others were taken aback, and Yuko Komiyayama smiled in surprise: "Thank you, Miss Sonoko, I will definitely do my best tomorrow." ”

Yamazaki said, "That's it, it's almost time, let's go." ”……

On the road, in the car of the garden's house.

Lan said: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the cooking classroom. ”

"It's normal, isn't there a share of the club in the artist's salary?" asked Yuanzi rhetorically.

"That's right. Lan said.

"So, the way my mother said about pit people is shoddy fraud. Mei Daizi said, "Because after you eat your stomach after you are ready, you can say whatever the price is." ”

"yes, that's really slaughtering. Lan said.

"By the way, you two," asked Sonoko, "now you can say what you're laughing at?"

"Poof!" Ran and Midako laughed again.

Yuan Zi hurriedly said: "What are you laughing at, don't say I'm angry." ”

"Think about Uemori-sensei's figure. Lan laughed.

Mei Daiko smiled, "If you become like that after learning cooking in the future......"

"Huh?" the garden's face darkened completely.

"Poof!" Mori and Conan laughed together at the thought of the garden's fat appearance and couldn't walk.

Yamazaki smiled, "So I invited Yuko-san, I hope you won't be affected." ”

"You fellows," cried the garden, "laugh again and I'll let you walk back." ”……
