"There are so many tablecloths here."

Qinghai Chuantang's focus seems to be somewhat alternative.

The woman smiled and said, "There are a lot of banquets today. There's a big banquet in the evening, just downstairs, and it's a sumo wedding party. ”

Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and seemed to understand something.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing the same expression.

Subsequently, Qinghai Chuantang came to the back kitchen.

"It's a shame that the tournament was cancelled."

She had already taken off her mask and hat and revealed her true colors.

"Miss Tang, long time no see."

Akakawa Aoi smiled, giving people a feeling of smiling and not smiling.

"Actually, I don't think it matters."

"Why?"

Akakawa Aoi looked around, then leaned over to her and whispered, "That Midorima will steal the formula." ”

"Stealing the recipe?" Qinghai Chuantang continued to ask.

"I don't have any talent at all, and I still show off my power on TV. In fact, the desserts he makes are all about stealing other people's ideas. ”

As if sensing that someone was watching him, Aoi Akakawa also glanced at him.

Finally, he said to Qinghai Chuantang in French: "That guy is extremely sinister. ”

After saying that, he turned and left.

I don't know if "that guy" is talking about Midorimaka Island, or if it's someone else.

"I've said it many times, I don't know."

"Just behind the restaurant on the first floor, someone saw you. Mr. Kadoya, now that the evidence is sufficient, you understand that you are lenient in confession, right? If you don't tell us the truth, you'll be a murderer and the real murderer will get away with it. ”

"He wanted me to lose to him on purpose."

Finally, Kakuya said the purpose of going to the first floor.

"Match-fixing?"

"I said I was going to be on a TV show, and I couldn't lose. Then just give me money and let me win. But I didn't say yes, and after refusing, I went back to the tenth floor. ”

"Is that really all there is?"

Takagi walked up to him and sat down, "You seem to be dating the eldest lady of a well-known dessert company." ”

"If you negotiate, won't your store be able to go global? You can't afford to lose this game, aren't you? ”

After that, Qinghai Chuantang did not continue to eavesdrop, but turned around and left and came to the hall.

After the crowd dispersed, the space seemed extraordinarily spacious.

"Little brother, this is what Miss Yuanzi needs, this banquet list. But why is this needed? ”

"Because Sister Yuanzi is a little concerned about something, let me help check it."

The skill of lying has been used by Conan to the point where he can not make drafts.

After reading it, the corners of Conan's mouth rose wildly.

"I see. I already know the true identity of the transparent man. ”

Qinghai Chuantang looked at him not far away, and always felt a bad premonition.

The crowd was gathered in the Hainer Hall.

And the garden sat on a chair, crossed Erlang's legs.

A fist rests on his chin, like a contemplative person.

"Thank you all for being here. First of all, Mr. Kadoya is not the murderer. And the real murderer of Mr. Midorima is someone else. ”

Seeing this, the manager raised his puzzled point: "But judging from the surveillance, only Mr. Kadoya went to and from the first floor of the crime scene and the tenth floor of the venue. ”

"Indeed, judging by the camera, only Mr. Kadoya is the most suspicious. However, if you can prevent the camera from catching it, you can become a 'transparent person'. ”

"Next, Xiaolan will ask you to pick up the tablet on the table."

Xiaolan nodded, walked over, picked up the tablet, and was showing the video interface on the opposite side.

She held the tablet steady, like a humanoid stand.

"If you use this place, you can go to the first floor without being photographed."

In the video, Mai Kirishima has a rope tied to her body.

She stood on the stool and slipped into the passage.

When she finally made up her mind and chose to let go, there was a terrible scream.

The picture turned and became the laundry room on the first floor where Qinghai Chuantang was located.

Soon, Mai Kirishima fell into the basket of dirty clothes.

"Kirishima, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I've landed safely."

Mai Kirishima smiled and made a "yes" gesture to the camera.

"So, how do you get back here? It's impossible to climb up the pipe again, right? ”

Aoi Akakawa looked at the garden and asked her own questions.

It's just that his face is calm, and he doesn't have the state that a seeker of knowledge should be.

"Of course there's a way back."

Conan snapped his fingers, and several staff members came over with huge cakes, a total of four.

During the ceremony, a large wedding cake is decorated, usually made of foam.

"Today, at the Yuliang Hall on the 9th floor downstairs, there is a wedding banquet for sumo wrestlers, and I ordered an extra-large cake model."

The list was in the manager's hands, and everyone couldn't help but sigh after watching: "It's two meters high and one meter wide, it's quite big." ”

"That's right, pretty big."

Conan, who was hiding under the table, showed a hint of a smile: "So, the murderer who knew about this killed Mr. Midorima in the spare parts store, and then hid it in the cake model made in advance. ”

No one expected that there would be someone hiding in it, and the camera in the elevator did not capture him.

Transported to the ninth floor by the hands of the staff, aiming for the time to come out.

After that, use the exit from the security area to go back to the back kitchen, which is only one level higher.

"And this is the way to go back and forth from the first to the tenth floor without being captured by the camera."

It's just that now these are at most evidence of the case, and there is no evidence to determine the murderer.

"Who is the real culprit?"

Ye Jiusheng was already a little impatient and wanted to get an answer.

Yuan Zi said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, let's sort out the clues first." ”

"In the spare parts warehouse very close to the site, there were a lot of broken carbonated drink bottles. And those bottles, right near the cake model. ”

And the person who broke the drink is the real murderer.

After the killer kills Midorimaka Island, he runs to the cake model, and he accidentally breaks the box of drink bottles without seeing the blind spot.

"The drink from the bottle spilled and wet the shoes of the real murderer."

At this time, Mai Kirishima and Qinghai Chuantang had already returned to the Haina Hall.

Qinghai Chuantang took out his mobile phone and clicked on one of the apps, and the interface became a light bulb, just emitting light, like colorful black.

"This light is a black light. So, let's do a fun little experiment. ”

After finishing speaking, Qinghai Chuantang snapped his fingers, and the lights in the Haina Hall were instantly extinguished, turning into a dim appearance.

"In this carbonated drink, there is cinchona extract."

Drinks in glass bottles were placed on the table.

When she used the black light of the mobile phone interface to illuminate the glass bottle, the originally transparent water instantly turned into a light blue, emitting a faint blue light.

"The murderer's shoes were wet from the drink. If a black light shines on his shoes, they will glow like this. ”

Qinghai Chuantang turned to look at everyone, "Now, let's reveal the true identity of the transparent person." ”

Manager, Aoi Akakawa, Kakuya Sailing...... None of them.

When the black light shone on the shoes of the person on the left hand side of Kakuya Saihang, it finally emitted a blue light.

His gaze slowly moved up, and he finally saw the man's true face.

The employee of the Midorimaca Island store, who is also his assistant, is Sugiya.

"Sugiya followed Kakuya into the spare parts warehouse and killed Midorima."

"Y-What are you talking about?"

Sugiya couldn't help but take a few steps back, nervousness written on his face, but still quibbled, "Why would I do such a thing?" Midorima-sensei is my master, how could I kill him? ”

Without a motive, all of this can only be considered speculation.

"If you have a motive, yes."

As he spoke, Qinghai Chuantang pointed to the dessert on the table next to him.

"Mr. Sugiya, you were stolen by Midorima, right?"

She walked up to him and continued, "I've heard that almost all of Midorima's works are embezzled. For pastry chefs, recipes are as important as life. ”

After finishing speaking, Qinghai Chuantang picked up the dessert on the plate and took a bite.

Nodding his head in praise, he said, "Great." This muffin cake is also your work, right? ”

Different from the muffin cake that I tasted in the room before, this dessert is more delicate and has a softer and sweeter taste.

Sugiya blinked his eyes a few times, lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, finally raised his head again.

"It's not me who is wrong, it's Midorima-sensei."

Sugiya clenched his fists, "Midorima-sensei took the muffins I created without permission and commercialized them as his own. ”

He was very emotional.

The lights came back on, and they were back in their brightest colors.

"There's one thing I'm curious about. Why are you in such a hurry to return to the venue after killing Midorima? ”

To do a play, you have to do a full set, so that camera has been placed at the venue to record during the period.

"Judging from the video, you said that you wanted to check the situation of the muffin baking, and it was only about 10 minutes before you left the venue. It's too much time to kill people and not be discovered. ”

If you're not in a hurry, you won't break the bottle.

"Because, I don't want the muffins to be baked."

Aoi Akakawa, who is also a pastry chef, can naturally understand this.

He explains, "I've tried the muffins in the store, and the taste and texture are fantastic. As a professional pastry chef, it is natural that you want to complete your work perfectly. ”

At this time, there were tears in Sugiya's eyes.

It seems that it is because I have met a soulmate.

"It's very difficult to grasp the final roasting situation." He choked up and said, "If you don't come back in ten minutes, the muffins will be baked." ”

The persistence of the pastry chef has become a flaw in the complete crime.

Sugiya was eventually taken into a police car.

Qinghai Chuantang doesn't know if he will regret the choice he made today.

But for a proud pastry chef, the work that cannot be signed may become a pain in his life.

The honors, the applause, the flowers, all belong to another person.

"Thank you!"

After the case was over, Kakuya Shohang bowed deeply and thanked them.

Yuanzi, who scratched his hair with a confused face, finally reacted to what was going on.

It seems that he has unconsciously found out the truth again.

Yoshiya Wakaba looked at him with a sweet smile.

Just as he was about to walk towards him, a woman called out his name and ran over and hugged him.

Hanako Takekawa raised her head and said happily, "I've always believed in you, it's great." When I told my father about your innocence, he was pleased. Say, you are the only one who can marry your daughter. ”

Kakuya smiled apologetically at them and hurried forward, desperate to get out of here.

During this time, he also glanced in the direction where Yoshiya Wakaba was.

And Hanako Takekawa, as if she didn't know anything at all, obediently followed.

Like an excited little sparrow, it chirps and chirps non-stop.

"Now that the case is over and the game is over, it's time to go back."

"It's a shame that I didn't see it as a game. But ah, if I hadn't come up with an idea this time, I guess you wouldn't have noticed the flaw so quickly. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for half of it."

Mai Kirishima was angry, and pretended to be angry and said, "Don't call me half!" ”

As she walked to the door of the hotel, a familiar figure stopped her.

"Miss Tang, please wait a minute."

Akakawa Aoi looked at her and smiled, "I have something very important to say to you." ”

Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, out of curiosity, Qinghai Chuantang still followed him and walked to the side.

I don't know what the other party said to her, so she knelt on the ground all of a sudden.

Holding his head in his hands, he trembled and looked very painful.

"Blowing Boy...... Blowing boy ......"

She kept whispering a person's name.

Mai Kirishima was still waiting, not knowing what was going on there, not to mention that it happened to be in the blind spot.

And Xiaolan and the others, who had just walked out of the hotel, seemed to hear someone's voice.

Although somewhat faintly.

Xunsheng walked over and saw such a scene.

"Sister Xiaotang, are you okay?" Xiaolan tentatively asked.

When the other party turned her head, she saw that her eyes were already red from crying.

Her lips trembled, and she said the name one last time, and passed out on the ground.

"Sister Xiaotang? Sister Xiaotang! ”

Desperately shook the other party a few times, but there was no reaction.

"Ambulance! Quick, call an ambulance! ”

Their voices finally succeeded in attracting Mai Kirishima.

Looking at this scene, she couldn't help but be stunned in place.

Exactly, what happened......

Fortunately, Qinghai Chuantang is not a big problem.

It's just that......

"The patient was very stimulated just now. Although I don't know what's going on, it's best not to stimulate her if I can, because at any time, it can bring the patient to the brink of collapse. ”

After the explanation, the doctor left the room.

Xiaolan and Sonoko were persuaded by Mai Kirishima to leave the hospital.

said that the other party was just a little tired recently, and there was nothing serious.

Mai Kirishima knows that she doesn't want those children to see their vulnerable side.

It's always been so strong.

It's just that Conan chose to stay in the end.

Because after she wakes up, there are important questions waiting for her to answer.

"She talked to me a lot of ...... that day"

"Huh?"

Mai Kirishima looked confused, completely at a loss.

Conan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, it turned out that the other party was not an insider.

He hurriedly waved his hand, pretending to be a child, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Sister Mai was all auditory hallucinations from you just now." ”

Mai Kirishima was not perfunctory by him like this.

She lowered her head, looked at Conan, and touched her chin in thought.

"I always feel like I've seen you somewhere."

"Probably...... It just happens to be similar. ”

Heiji Hattori, who has powdered it, and Soji Okita, who has powdered it and changed his hairstyle, can all be seven points similar to his real body Kudo Shinichi.

Not to mention someone who might be almost exactly like him.

Mai Kirishima got closer, and the tips of their noses almost collided.

After staring at it for a while, she got up and said, "I just feel like I've seen you when I was a child." ”

Conan snorted expressionlessly.

When you were born, I wasn't even a tadpole, right?

Wonderful!
