Today, at the Century Hotel Tokyo, a dessert contest will be held.

The interior of the hotel is reminiscent of the classic elegance of continental Europe in the 19th century.

The dessert contest is in the Haina Hall on the tenth floor of this high-rise building.

"The first dessert contest in Japan was held today at the Century Hotel Tokyo, so let's take a look at what the pastry chefs are up to."

In the camera's view, the woman holding the microphone is Mai Kirishima.

"First of all, I will introduce Aoi Akakawa, the owner of SMW Cake Shop, who has won many awards at international competitions."

The romance of the French, accustomed to being expressed in desserts, is also expressed.

Hot air balloons, Eiffel Tower.

And he studied at the French dessert school, and he seems to have learned this habit very well.

"The next one is to subvert the concept of dessert, a popular store in Sekishiroyama, Tokyo, the owner of a swee dessert shop, and a corner house chassing."

On the dessert, flowers are added as a foil, which looks more like a handicraft.

"The last one, which is often seen on TV and is very popular with ladies, is the prince of desserts, 'Midori Maka Island'."

Judging from the appearance, the desserts he made looked a little ordinary.

But the decoration on the small cake looks a little like the tail of a mermaid, which feels very interesting.

"Hello everyone, today's first prize is me."

Midorimaka looked at the camera and smiled confidently.

"Let's look forward to how exciting the game is!"

When the video stopped, Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Pulled it aside and whispered: "It's all your bad idea, you have to pretend to record some show." Which show have you ever seen recorded, with only two people? ”

And unexpectedly, I met Akakawa Aoi here.

Maybe it's a kana, like Amuro.

If he really wanted to call it, perhaps his code name "Malt" would be more appropriate.

Thankfully, she not only wore a baseball cap today, but also a mask.

But alas, it was still recognized.

"Sister Xiaotang, Sister Mai!"

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come here to enjoy the dessert contest too."

Fortunately, it's Xiaolan and them.

"No, we're actually here to record the game."

As she spoke, Mai Kirishima pointed to the camera in her hand.

"Huh? But why haven't I heard that there will be people from the TV station today? ”

Yuan Zi touched his chin and thought.

Coincidentally, the Tokyo Century Hotel is a property of the Suzuki Group.

Fortunately, the other party was relatively simple, and in a few words, he was rounded by Qinghai Chuantang, and he didn't think about it anymore.

"Now that we're here, let's go and enjoy dessert together."

Yuan Zi enthusiastically proposed: "I specially asked them to help prepare the room, and after tasting it, I will go to watch the game, it is not too late." ”

The desserts of Aoi Akakawa, Kakuya Saihang, and Midorimaka Island all have their own characteristics.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is undoubtedly Aoi Akakawa who won.

Flowers as an embellishment, although ingenious, always make people feel a little cumbersome.

Other than that, the taste is still worth affirming.

And in terms of taste, it's a bit difficult to agree on it.

Sonoko chose to vote for Akakawa Aoi for a very simple reason, not only is the food delicious, but the people are also handsome.

In the end, it was the muffins of Midorimaka Island that won.

"It's the most popular dessert at Midorima." The manager said with a smile.

At this time, the manager's mobile phone suddenly rang.

"I'm sorry."

He got up and stepped aside and pressed the answer button: "Hey, Arai, what's wrong?" ”

I don't know what the other party said, which made the manager frown.

"What's going on?"

After listening to the narration, the manager was startled, turned to face everyone, and announced the regrettable news.

"Midorima pastry chef, passed away."

"Huh?"

"I'll go check on the situation."

Conan hurriedly jumped off the couch, "Wait, I'm going too!" ”

When I ran around a corner, I saw two cleaning staff, cleaning up the glass shards on the ground.

When they finally ran to the first-floor stockpile, they saw Midorimaka Island lying on the ground, white-clothed and blood-stained.

His eyes were open, as if he were dead.

After calling the police, Takagi and Yakukatsu, who had searched the first class, rushed to the hotel.

"A hotel of this size has more than 3,000 people...... That is, there are three thousand suspects. ”

"So, let's investigate the people involved in the contest first. The alibi, the relationship with the victim, no matter how small things you can't let go, check the items you are carrying. ”

At this time, Takagi had a serious face and a serious appearance of giving orders, which was quite stylish.

In the crowd of onlookers, Yuan Zi and Xiaolan were discussing in a whisper on the periphery.

"Xiaolan, is that person really Officer Takagi? Why do I always feel like he's matured a lot? ”

Some people may not be able to mature for a lifetime, while others mature in an instant.

The garden didn't have much contact with him.

It's just that in memory, this officer is at least not what he appears to be.

"Probably because Officer Takagi has grown up......"

Conan's tone sounded a little relieved, and there was a sense of pride that "my family has just grown up".

Sonoko raised an eyebrow and looked at Conan with a strange look.

"What are you talking about, you little ghost?"

Just as Conan was smiling and trying to explain, Yakukatsu suddenly appeared and shouted excitedly, "Takagi-senpai! ”

A newcomer who writes joy, anger and sorrow on his face can always make people guess what he has discovered.

In the back kitchen, in addition to the pastry chef who participated in the competition, several police officers gathered here.

They found a blood-stained knife wrapped in a white cloth from the bag in the corner house.

"What is this?" Takagi looked at him with a sharp look in his eyes.

The manager stepped forward and explained, "This is a kitchen knife for the kitchen, and the white one is a banquet napkin." ”

Takagi handed the things to the forensic department.

Just by identifying it, you can find out whose blood it is.

"Takagi-senpai!"

Ye Jiusheng ran to his side and whispered to him, "The security guard said that he was seen with the victim." ”

Evidence, testimony, everything locks the suspect target to death.

"Mr. Kadoya, can you tell me what's going on?"

Of course, the place to ask will not be in such an eye-catching place as the back kitchen.

Looking at the back of Kakuya Zhuhang being taken away, a woman in a yellow coat shouted at him, "What's the matter? How do you want me to explain to my father? ”

The woman in yellow is named Hanako Takekawa, the daughter of the president of a dessert company, and the fiancée of Kakuya Saihang.

"Voyage ......"

A woman in a white village shirt whispered the other party's name, a little stunned.

Qinghai Chuantang remembered her as the assistant beside the corner house at that time.

Through inquiry, it was learned that her name was Yoshiya Wakaba.

In the room, after drinking black tea, she seemed to calm down a little.

"He is not good at words, he is very simple, and he only knows how to make desserts every day."

So Yoshiya Wakaba firmly believes that he will not be a murderer.

"But if this continues, he will really become a murderer......" Fangya Wakaha covered his forehead with both hands, looking a little worried.

"It's okay!"

Yuanzi smiled and comforted: "All this is wrapped up in my reasoning queen 'Garden-sama'!" ”

"Moreover, with Sister Xiaotang here, the two of us will join forces to solve the case and find out the truth soon!"

Conan looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five degree angle, holding back his tears.

You guys one by one, don't take it for granted!

"The kitchen is right behind the tournament site. There is a special freight elevator over there, which can go directly to the vicinity of the murder scene. ”

Led by the manager, the three entered the freight elevator.

"The camera recorded that Midorima and Kakuya had been to the first floor at different times. A few minutes later, Kadoya was photographed returning to the tenth floor alone. ”

"I see."

Yuan Zi nodded, looking clear: "I'll investigate the rest, and you'll go back, thank you." ”

"Okay. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything. ”

After the manager left, the garden thought for a while and finally came to a conclusion.

"It seems that the murderer is really Mr. Kadoya. Because I was jealous of the other party's work, better than myself, or because of a fierce quarrel, I was suddenly carried away by anger......"

It sounds like it's the truth.

"Sister Yuanzi, there is an emergency staircase here!" Conan pretended to be surprised and pointed to the door next to him.

In addition to the freight elevator, there is a passage from the 10th floor to the 1st floor.

Yuan Zi was deeply skeptical: "But, it's too tiring to walk here, isn't it?" Even if you run, you're prone to sweating profusely, so it's easy to be spotted, right? ”

"Now, shall we try it? Let's compare who runs to the tenth floor first! ”

Conan adjusted the watch to the chronometric state.

"Ready, go!"

"Wait, it's too sudden, isn't it?"

Before the garden could react, Conan and Qinghai Chuantang rushed out like wild horses.

And how could the garden, which is a lady, go back sweating profusely?

So, naturally, she took the freight elevator up.

When the garden walked out of the freight elevator and came to the emergency staircase, he saw that Qinghai Chuantang was already standing there, as if waiting for them.

After more than ten seconds, Conan climbed upstairs out of breath.

Dressed in a big gulp, he looked terrible.

He looked down at his watch, much slower than expected.

"Conan's friend."

Qinghai Chuantang squatted down, looked at him, and said with some amusement: "So tired, is it kidney overdraft?" Come on a bottle of kidney treasure, she is good to you. ”

Conan choked on these words and almost didn't catch his breath.

There was surveillance at the corner of the fifth floor, but after the garden called and inquired, it was learned that the camera on the fifth floor did not capture anything.

Judging from the records of cameras throughout the hotel, only Kakuya Chahang is the most suspicious.

"In this case, the murderer should be Mr. Kadoya. But looking at Miss Wakaba's words before, it doesn't look like a lie. Could it be that the murderer is transparent? ”

Sonoko speculated as he walked forward, but accidentally had a "car accident" and was hit in the waist.

"Yes, I'm sorry! Are you alright? It seems to have hit my waist. The woman said in a panic, and hurriedly rubbed the injured part with her hands, trying to relieve her pain.

Fortunately, there is nothing serious, and it will be fine after a while.

The woman is a staff member in the hotel, mainly responsible for cleaning the tablecloth in the restaurant.

"Thank you. I'm sorry to ask you to help. ”

"It's fine. But what is this? ”

Yuan Zi saw that after she took the tablecloth, she threw it all into a dark cupboard, and only thought it was a little strange.

"Huh this?" The woman smiled and explained, "This is the tablecloth passage. With such a throw, I went straight to the laundry room on the first floor. ”

The garden walked over and looked down, feeling a little bottomless.

I couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing! ”

Wonderful!
