Chapter 1052 1052【The Deadly Trap from Uzo】Ask for a monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help scanning the venue again.

Before he could find out anything, his eyes flickered from the corner of his eye.

Toru Amuro turned his head and saw Jiang Xia walking towards the corridor, quietly following Okano Rika and her assistant.

"..."

Toru Amuro looked at the wrestlers who were gradually being beaten to the ground by Miwako Sato, and then looked at Jiang Xia's back, hesitated for a moment, and also followed.

Jiang Xia's analysis just now makes sense.

Compared with the burly wrestler who does not understand art, it is indeed Okano Rika, who is closer to the center of the case and the "flower".

……

Okano Rika's lounge is not too far from the banquet hall.

Amuro Toru walked halfway, and suddenly found Jiang Xia's behavior in front of him was a bit strange - he seemed to want to knock on the door, but he didn't know what he heard, and suddenly stopped.

"?" Amuro Toru vaguely sensed that something was wrong, he walked a few steps quickly, and eavesdropped with Jiang Xia.

As soon as he got closer, he heard a burst of undisguised laughter from inside the room.

"Haha, that bastard is finally dead!" It was Okano Rika's voice, "He is just a stepping stone for me to succeed, it would be great to support me honestly, but he actually wants to control me in reverse , I really overestimated my abilities—a good death!"

Ozaki Cui hastily dissuaded: "Teacher, don't say it. If this kind of words are heard by others, you will be misunderstood."

"As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one will be able to hear you." Okano Rika didn't get echoed, and waved her hands in disappointment.

It's almost time for the flower arrangement show to start.

Okano Rika didn't say any more, she got up and walked to the mirror, checked her appearance for the last time, and was quite satisfied with her attire, so she said: "Okay, let's go."

……

The two left the lounge, locked the door behind them, and left quickly.

After they left.

Two figures poked out from the corner, and with a hint of sneakiness, they returned to Okano Rika's lounge.

Jiang Xia looked down at the locked door, then turned to look at Toru Amuro next to him.

Toru Amuro took out an iron wire out of nowhere, inserted it into the keyhole and poked and hooked it a few times.Not long after, the door clicked open.

Jiang Xia nodded, pushed the door open and entered with satisfaction.

Toru Amuro put away his tools, glanced at Jiang Xia's back, and was a little puzzled: Why did he always have the illusion that he was working for an employee...

But that's beside the point.The focus is clearly on the case at hand, and Uzo's possible plot.

……

Toru Amuro quickly put aside the inexplicable thoughts.

He followed in and closed the door behind him.

Sweeping his eyes across the lounge, he saw Jiang Xia walking towards a corner, squatting down, as if he was checking something.

Amuro Toru also walked over there.

Looking down, the one in front of Jiang Xia was a double-layer fresh-keeping box.

——In this place where the organizer provided a sumptuous dinner and fruit wine, this box seemed a bit redundant.

And things that seem superfluous at first glance often mean "other inside stories".

……

"Open it and take a look?" Jiang Xia touched the lid of the box, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the police next to him.

Even a detective should not blatantly break the law.As for things like "sliding the door and picking the lock" and "unauthorizedly flipping through other people's luggage", of course, it is most convenient for Amuro Toru to carry the pot.

Toru Amuro didn't think much about it, and was obviously used to doing this kind of thing.He nodded, squatted down, pinched the lid of the box through his gloves, and carefully lifted it up.

As the lid of the box was lifted, two bottles of medicines placed side by side were revealed in the uppermost grid.

"Refrigerant?" Jiang Xia leaned over to look, and his eyes quickly fell on the bottle that was one size bigger.

Seeing that Toru Amuro was a little puzzled, he said popular science: "Rika Okano's 'magic flower arrangement' is probably to freeze the flowers with refrigerant in advance, let them shrink into buds, and then use the temperature rise to make the buds suddenly bloom at a certain point in time. Blooming... But I remember just now, when the staff helped them move their performance outfits, they had already moved the refrigerant to the stage."

"Maybe it's a spare, I forgot to take it with me." Toru Amuro looked away from the refrigerant and looked down at the other bottle.

After reading the label clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "...Silicic hydrocyanate?!"

Although this kind of thing is not as common as potassium cyanide in daily life, it is also a deadly poison.It is very easy to gasify and diffuse, and if you inhale a high concentration of gas in a short period of time, you will die immediately.Even if it is not used for inhalation, it may cause an explosion after reaching a certain concentration.

Amuro recalled the lethality of this drug, and his eyes became more and more serious: The murderer actually brought silicon hydrocyanate, and judging from the amount left in the bottle, he must have used up a lot—this is no simple matter. No murder, but a premeditated large-scale attack, targeting the many celebrities coming and going in the banquet hall!
——The "Fireworks Festival" created by Wu Zuo is really not something as simple as "blow up a cooking class".Okiya Subaru went to the cooking class before, probably just to divert his attention, or take the initiative to leave this dangerous banquet hall... In short, an attack of this scale must be prevented by all means!

……

While Toru Amuro was staring at the dangerous medicine in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Next to him, Jiang Xia was still doing normal activities—maybe it was because he hadn’t been targeted by “Uzo” or sent any weird invitation letters. At this time, Jiang Xia was quite calm, far calmer than Amuro Toru’s heart. calm.

"He even brought poison. It seems that the murderer who sent the letter will indeed do other things afterwards."

Like an ordinary detective at work, Jiang Xia briefly commented on the bottle of dangerous medicine that made Amuro Toru's body tense.

Then, before Amuro could react, he clicked through the handkerchief to lift up the top grid: "There is another layer below, let's see what's inside..."

Before the words finished, Toru Amuro suddenly stood up and pulled Jiang Xia away at the same time.

"??" Jiang Xia was pulled so suddenly that the refrigerant in the grid almost fell to the ground.He caught the bottle that was thrown flying, and turned his head to look at Toru Amuro in surprise.

Amuro Toru was staring at the box on the ground.

His gaze fell on the bottom of the box that was exposed after Jiang Xia lifted the top.

I saw some crushed ice stuffed inside for heat preservation, and an ordinary ice tray was placed on the ice, with a few small ice cubes frozen in it. Other than that, there was no deadly mechanism as imagined.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Toru Amuro: "..."

Just now, after seeing the hydrocyanic acid silicide on the upper layer of the safe and guessing Uzo's plan to "release poisonous gas and cause an explosion", Toru Amuro inevitably became vigilant.

——He always felt that the step of "investigating and seeing through Uzo's conspiracy" was really smooth.
