Chapter 890: Dessert Gourmet
"The cause of death was a blow to the back of the head, which should have been caused by a direct blow to the head when the lid of the box was opened, and then locked in the box directly with the apple......"
"The time of death is more than half a day......
At the recording site of "Dessert Talent", Officer Twilight squatted by the box stuffed with apples to check the situation, because Conan and Sera Masumi ran over from the audience at the first time of the incident, and the scene remained the same.
The old man in the kimono was also buried in a pile of apples.
"In other words, the fruit in this box was used in the show's cooking showdown, but when the fruit was revealed, the body of the chief judge, Mr. Masatoku Takeki, was found, right?" Twilight asked, looking back.
"yes, we haven't been able to contact Mr. Takeki, but we didn't expect him to be packed in a box."
"The chief judges are not there, did the show start recording?"
Twilight is very suspicious of the program team, and even finds the body when the program is being recorded.
"I happened to meet Detective Joto who came to the TV station," explains Toshihide Taruoka, the producer and director, "and we happened to be familiar with each other, so if we brought in Detective Joto and had a well-known detective as a special guest, the show would be able to ......."
"Well, Brother Joto," Twilight looked at Maori Kogoro, who didn't look conscious at the side, with a shaky beard, "So, why are you here?" ”
"Because of my daughter, they are going to participate in the recording of the show...... However, Officer Twilight, I think it's better to figure out how the murder got locked in the box first," Kogoro Mori mused, "As far as I know, the locking process of this box is very special, from the time the fruit is packed to the time of the show, it should not have been opened until the scene ......of the show."
"Is that so?"
"Yes," Taruoka explained, "First of all, Mr. Kasuga, the ingredient coordinator, put the fruits selected as the theme into the box, lock it, and send it to the TV station, and when I received the box, I put a lock on it and gave it back to Mr. Kasuga, and then Mr. Kasuga opened his lock and sent the box back again......
"I won't see the inside until the host Mr. Kenzaki opens the box, and this is a plan proposed by Mr. Takeki himself to prevent the leakage of the fruit that has become the theme."
The warehouse where the program team puts boxes is the third warehouse of daily TV, a large and chaotic warehouse, and a bunch of sundries.
Gao Cheng rushed over as soon as he saw the corpse, and walked around the warehouse with his hands in his hands to inspect it.
There are traces of blood being wiped on the seams and inside of the lid, which means that the place where the box was placed is the scene of the crime.
At first, he was suspicious of the Blender, but according to the staff who went to pick up the boxes at the Blender's house, Takeki had indeed been to the Blender's house, but had left just as they had passed.
That is, theoretically, there was no chance to put Takeki in a box at all.
There must be something wrong with somebody in between.
It is said that the director has always asked the assistant to get the second lock and the management box, so if the assistant director cooperates with the assistant assistant to secretly get the first lock key, it is possible to open the box before the second lock.
The TV station warehouse in the middle where the boxes are stored is undoubtedly the most likely crime scene.
"It's management, but it's not like watching it all day," said helplessly in the face of the police's questioning at the studio scene, "The transportation is also handed over to the young assistants, and I am just supervising ...... on the side."
"But you went into the warehouse where the boxes were kept yesterday, didn't you?" Gao Cheng returned to the scene and said, "I have seen the surveillance at the door of the warehouse, and you have been alone in it for half an hour. ”
"This," Shibuyawa saw Gao Cheng and hurriedly explained, "I will occasionally take a look and check if the lock has been picked or something......
"Is this true?" Twilight cautiously asked Gao Cheng, "Did he really stay for half an hour?" ”
"I smoked a few cigarettes in there," Shibuya sweated, "because the TV station is basically non-smoking, and the assistant is too busy to smoke, so I smoked three or four while reading the mail, although the warehouse is also non-smoking......
And I'm not the only one who has been in, the director has also been in, right? ”
Shibuyu looked at Director Taruoka in a panic, and the latter hurriedly said in the face of everyone's puzzled eyes: "How can I say that I am also a director, isn't it strange to make sure that the next box has been delivered?" And at that time, the box had the second lock, and the key was in the bank safe, so I couldn't open the box at all......"
"But in fact, Mr. Takeki was the first to enter the warehouse at nine o'clock last night, and he never came out since." ”
"What?!" The faces of the crowd changed instantly.
In the monitoring room, Twilight quickly found a security guard to call up the video for verification.
"Sure enough, it's the same as what Brother Joto said, in addition to Mr. Takeki, there will be Director Taruoka, Assistant Tsuruga, and even Mr. Kasuga, a dispatcher, who came in and out for about half an hour......
"Because I care a lot about what Mr. Takeki says," said the coordinator Kasuhi, squinting his eyes, "I'm confident in my own locks, but I haven't checked the locks on the TV station properly......"
"But will it take half an hour?"
"I carefully checked it and took a few photos to show Mr. Takeki today, because the lock is good, so I went straight home yesterday......
Uncle Dispatcher didn't see anything wrong with his face, and he touched his chin and continued to check the surveillance: "Well, until the staff went in the next day and carried the box out, no one entered or left the warehouse, no matter what, it was only the three of you who could commit the crime." ”
As he spoke, he asked, "You've been in there for about half an hour, Mr. Taruoka." ”
"Because I forgot where I put the box, I searched inside for a long time," Director Taruoka said urgently, seeing that he was being treated as a suspect, "That warehouse is big and messy......"
Maori Kogoro stared at the surveillance video: "I said that the Twilight Police Department, Mr. Takeki did appear on the surveillance, but no one saw him enter the TV station at all, I heard that he left the TV station after a meeting yesterday, what the hell ......is this?"
"Regarding this," Takagi explained, "it is said that Mr. Takeki sneaked in during the group performance of the costume drama last night, and Mr. Takeki asked his friend who was the director of the costume drama to make the enemy take it lightly. ”
"I see, he wanted to hide in the warehouse and watch, but he was killed after discovering the prisoner."
Gao Cheng's gaze swept over the three suspects.
Director Taruoka, assistant director, Kasuga, and ingredient ......
The victim Takeki Masaoku had some conflicts with him, even if he was invited to participate in the show this time, he had a headache about how to get along with each other.
However, this does not affect his reasoning and judgment.
This is his realm of identity detective rather than food shows, and detectives need to stay calm no matter what the situation is.
"The only problem is how the prisoner opens the lock, if the problem is on the TV station, Mr. Kasuga, who entered the warehouse for the first time to check the padlock, should not be a prisoner, and if there is an accomplice, he doesn't have to run over and expose himself to the surveillance......
"As for the director Taruoka, it's hard to open the padlock without a spare key, and the rest is Mr. Shibuyani, the assistant who put on the padlock......"
Gao Cheng locked on to the valley and asked, "What I want to ask is, are you the only one when you lock it?" ”
"Y-What do you mean?!" Shitani Wataru's tongue trembled, "It's true that I locked it, but didn't the director check it later?" ”
"But that doesn't mean you can't do anything about it, such as using a fake padlock to lock it and then pretend to change it to a real lock when you go to check it later, or more simply, is it really locked?"
Gao Cheng's words went deep into the bottom of Gudu's heart, as if there was a giant hand that had been grasping Gudu in his hands.
"I've carefully inspected the warehouse, and there is not the slightest soot, and it is even stranger to check if the lock has any signs of picking, even if the padlock does not have an alarm mechanism, no one will leave any traces of picking the lock, right?
"There is only one truth, you specially went in after the director, in fact, in order to open the box to check the theme fruit inside, and by the way, finish up for yourself to avoid being discovered when you really open the box,
In fact, in addition to imitation locks, it is not difficult to make the padlock look like it is locked, but it is not difficult to do it, as long as you continue to lock it afterwards, and you don't need a key to lock it. ”
Gao Cheng beckoned and asked the staff to bring a juicer prop from the warehouse.
"Of course, the evidence is there, the box was originally stuffed with apples, and if you stuff Mr. Takeki, there will inevitably be a lot of apples, and the reason why you have been in the warehouse for so long should be to deal with the excess apples, right?
"Because the three of you didn't bring anything with you when you entered and exited the warehouse in the surveillance, I specially searched for it, and luckily found this juicer that was not cleaned, and there were still some apple residues on it......"
"Haha," Shigtani said with a smile wiping his sweat, "Do you mean to say that the apple was juiced and drunk by me?" What kind of evidence is this, even if it is true, it has been digested in my stomach......"
"Stupid," Gao Cheng raised his eyelids and said, "The food is not digested in the stomach, you haven't been to the toilet since the beginning of the recording, and the high-quality apple seeds that you drank together haven't been excreted......"
Gao Cheng didn't want to continue to give this guy science food for the whole digestion process.
Generally, food stays in the human body for quite some time, mainly in the intestines.
When leaving the monitoring room, Yuan Zi always felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else waiting for him?" ”
"yes, leave it to the police."
Gao Cheng's mind was full of sweets, and he quickly interrupted the topic and said, "Okay, let's go have a meal first." ”
For him, the case has been solved, because of the monitoring, there is no difficulty, and the system has settled in advance.
This time, I drew a "dessert" card, which seems to be from the victim Mr. Takeki, who directly raised his "dim sum" to a proficient level, of course, most of the knowledge is in the dessert category, focusing on the content from production to appraisal and commentary, and there is a trend of developing towards dessert gourmets.
There seem to be more and more occupations.

……
"Wait a minute, Detective Joto!"
Director Taruoka suddenly gasped and chased after him.
"Although this happened this time, in fact, we have long planned to find someone to replace Mr. Takeki, after all, he is so old...... If so, can you be a resident guest? Please! ”
Taruoka folded his legs together and bent deeply.
"For dessert's sake!"
