Chapter 221: Taiyaki

Taiyaki, which is a traditional Japanese sweets made with neon.

This confectionery is derived from Imagawa yaki, both of which originated in Tokyo.

Taiyaki was invented in the Meiji era when a man named Seijiro Kobe came to Tokyo from Osaka to sell Imagawa-yaki and came up with an improved variety because of his own poor business.

In neon, sea bream has a special status, from the guardian god of the sea, to the god of business and wealth, Ebisu, who holds a fishing rod in his right hand and a bighead fish in his left hand that means auspiciousness.

Therefore, sea bream has become a fish to enjoy during celebrations, and at the same time it means auspiciousness.

Therefore, this snack with a beautiful meaning has won people's favor in an instant.

It can be said that the difference between the two dim sum is just the shape of the mold, and the workmanship and materials used are actually exactly the same.

But it is this changed shape that makes poisoning easier.

After all, taiyaki is in the shape of a sea bream, and it is easy to identify the location of the poison after poisoning.

"So, what about the evidence?"

Akana looked at Tang Ze and applauded with a smile, but said words that were completely opposite to his behavior, "As a criminal case, you have to talk about evidence in everything, right?"

I also asked Karasawa-san to come up with evidence to prove that I gave my husband taiyaki instead of Imagawa-yaki. ”

The meaning of such words and actions is completely opposite.

It will give you signs in deeds and agree with your words, but in words it will never leave you with any flaws and handles.

Obviously, Rika Akana is a very smart opponent [new fo], and her words do not leave any flaws, and this is obviously to prevent Tang Ze from carrying a recorder and recording the conversation between the two.

However, Tang Ze would not use this method, after all, he had simpler and more crude methods to use.

But Tang Ze didn't care about Rika Akana's actions, he leaned forward, casually pointed to the Imagawa ware on the dinner plate and said, "I also said when we first met, the cold Imagawa ware is hard to eat, so heat it up."

So at dinner, you naturally reheated your husband too, right? ”

"Of course." Rika Akana nodded as a matter of course.

"Then what kind of heated Imagawa ware did you use at that time?" Tang Ze immediately asked.

"Needless to say, of course it's baked..."

Rika Akana's blurted out words came to an abrupt end, and she immediately came to her senses, and after a pause, she quickly changed her words: "Of course it's heated in a toaster." ”

"Lie!"

Tang Ze pointed at Rika Akana, with an expression of "you are not honest", but there was no doubt in the words of laughter, "You lied, Miss Akana." ”

"Why?" Rika Akana's eyes shrank, and then asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

"It's very simple." Karasawa picked up a Imagawa yaki, "Look at this Imagawa yaki, it's so big and round, how can it be put in the toaster?" ”

Tang Ze stretched out his hand and gestured the width of a finger knuckle and said, "You can't stuff such a thick thing into a toaster, right?" ”

"The oven..."

"Isn't there roast beef in the oven? And you should be hot roast beef at the time. ”

Tang Ze interrupted Rika Akana, who wanted to argue, and said unceremoniously: "You don't want to say that you put Imagawa-yaki in an oily oven, do you?"

But in that case, the dim sum will be stained with salty butter, and your husband won't break it for you with his bare hands. ”

"And how did I get poisoned?" Rika Akana asked with interest, "If I poison taiyaki, how can I ensure that my husband eats the poisonous half?"

I handed the snack to my husband, but he broke half of it and watched me eat the other half. ”

"It's very simple, just poison the tail of the taiyaki, and the shape of the taiyaki can easily poison a part of it, isn't it?"

Karasawa leaned back and leaned back in his chair: "Unlike Imagawa-yaki, taiyaki is in the shape of a fish, so naturally there will be more chit-chat on the head and much less stuffing on the tail."

And Mr. Ace, as a husband, will break the part with more fillings to you, which is a normal thing, right? Even if the two of you only quarreled yesterday, this habit will not change.

So, with the help of your husband's habit of getting along with you for many years, you put poison into his mouth. ”

Tang Ze looked at Rika Akana and smiled, "How is it?" I don't know if my reasoning is correct? ”

Rika Akana was silent when she heard this, the smile on her face disappeared, and she just stared at Tang Ze and looked at him carefully, and then the next moment her smile suddenly bloomed again.

"Before I answer that, I have a question for you."

"Excuse me." Tang Ze stretched out his hand and politely signaled, "Ladies are always privileged." ”

Rika Akana looked at Tang Ze and said with a smile: "Since you have determined that I am a murderer, and I was poisoned in Imagawa Yaki."

So, who gave you the courage to dare to come to a banquet alone and eat a snack that a murderer had killed people in this way? ”

"Because I know you're not that kind of person."

Tang Ze looked at Rika Akana's eyes and said, "The reason why there is such a tricky case is that in fact, this method that can be called a complete crime is achieved by various coincidences.

In fact, at the beginning, it was very simple, but with the accidental factors of various fates, it became this unsolvable problem. ”

Tang Ze restrained his smile and said in a serious tone: "Actually, it's not, you must have been ready to realize that day."

He clearly understood what he was going to do, and with the determination to be arrested, he even risked his life to carry out this plan. ”

But Providence is such a trick, there is no idea of escape, and the determination to be arrested to kill people has caused this most difficult case.

The husband gave half of the snack to Rika Akana, not because of his love for his wife, but because she let her test the poison.

Because the other party watched her finish eating, she began to eat the other half.

And Miss Ai Sisha has destroyed the photo because of the quarrel the day before, so that Rika Akana can't prove what she said.

In the end, Ai Sisha, who was aroused by curiosity, chose to turn back on a whim, peeking at the idol and finally seeing the moment when Rika Akana was poisoned.

And it was her husband's actions and Ai Sisha's whim that created this near-perfect crime.

I have to say that fate is really incomparably wonderful, and a drink and a peck have their own destiny.

"So, I know you're not a bad person."

Tang Ze looked at Rika Akana and said seriously: "So, I'm not afraid that you will poison the dim sum, because what you do is dignified." ”

"yes... I also... He's not such a calm and thorough murderer..."

In the silent room, only Rika Akana's murmur was left with choked throats.
