Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1054 1054 [Death Touch] Ask for a monthly pass ヾ(●｀●)～

In the corner of the banquet hall, a group of policemen in plain clothes walked back and forth.

Jiang Xia glanced around the hall, and soon saw Miwako Sato standing near the stage, speaking into the intercom in a low voice.Officer Sato noticed his gaze, looked over, and nodded towards Jiang Xia.

——Understanding the reason behind President Shiraki's death, she also knew what to do now.

……

On the stage in front of the banquet hall, a beam of light was quickly cast.

"Today is the commemorative reception for Ms. Okano Rika who won the World Art Award. Thank you for taking the time to come!" The host tried to make his voice as relaxed as possible.

According to the pre-planned process, at this time, there should have been an introduction about "President Shiraki" and related speeches.

However, just now, the host was notified—President Shiraki suddenly disappeared.Of course, these procedures had to be cancelled, otherwise the body bag could not be lifted up.

After the host announced the opening, he went straight to the topic with a bit of embarrassment:

"Then next, please enjoy Okano-sensei's flower arrangement performance!"

……

Okano Rika stepped onto the stage, looked down at the celebrities in the audience, bowed to the audience vigorously, and her assistant stood respectfully behind her.

After a brief speech, Okano Rika arranged the vase, inserted a few dry branches, and then moved to the side of the stage in an elegant dance, ready to hold the buds out to complete the shape behind.

However, when we got to the place and reached out to get the flowers.

She suddenly found a person standing beside her flower basket.

——Jiang Xia was holding a palm-sized spray bottle in his hand, and was looking down at the basket of flowers on the ground.

When Okano Lixiang looked at him suspiciously, Jiang Xia suddenly bent her fingers slightly and pressed the switch of the spray bottle.

laugh--

A burst of white mist gushed out in a cone shape, covering the flower basket.The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the flower buds that were supposed to bloom at a good time suddenly shrank back when they suddenly encountered the cold.

"...What are you doing?!" Okano Lixiang was furious - her performance required extremely high temperature and time.Those flowers will bloom at the calculated time, but Jiang Xia suddenly refrozen the flowers... Then wouldn't she have to wait for the flowering, and dance on the stage for a long time, so that the flower arrangement and the flower blooming match up? !

...this is a shameless act of vandalism!
She angrily wanted to rush over to stop him.

But before he could make a move, there was another similar sound of "嗤——" and "嗤—" all around.

"?!"

Okano Lixiang turned her head in disbelief, and saw not only the basket of flowers in front of her, but also all kinds of lilies and roses...all surrounded by the police, they sprayed the air conditioner cautiously, then opened the bag with a clatter, and put Flower tightly entangled tightly.

"...What are you doing?? What are you doing?! Ozaki! Stop them!"

Okano Lixiang was furious like never before. How dare this group of bastard police force terminate her dinner party without her consent? !

Assistant Ozaki Cui stood behind her, watching all this silently and with complicated thoughts, without moving.

"Miss Okano, Miss Ozaki."

A hand rests on each of their shoulders.Miwako Sato glanced at her colleague from the forensics department next to her.The other party held a set of reagents, nodded solemnly to her, and told her that the closed buds were indeed poisonous.

Miwako Sato then continued to say to the two people: "You are suspected of poisoning in public and killing Daisuke Shiraki. Please come here and cooperate with the investigation."

"..." Okano Lixiang was stunned.

She stared at Officer Sato, and after a while, she looked at Ozaki Tsui.

She knew in her heart that she did not poison, let alone kill anyone.So the killer is...

……

After a few minutes.

"motivation?"

Ozaki Cui laughed, and pinned her drooping sideburns behind her ears. Her expression was still so gentle and humble, but the words she said didn't have much to do with "gentleness": "—Of course it's because Shiraki and this woman deserve to die."

"You, what did you say?!" Okano Rika couldn't believe that this little assistant dared to say such a thing.But remembering that Ozaki Tsui had just strangled Shiraki to death, and almost succeeded in killing her, she dared not go over.

Ozaki Tsui looked up at the reporters who were eavesdropping around the police, and suddenly said:

"This flower arrangement technique was pioneered by my sister.

"Rika Okano was my sister's student at that time—my sister taught her everything without reservation, but after she learned it, she took the initiative to hook up with Daisuke Shiraki.

"Rika Okano knew that with my sister around, she would never be able to get ahead, so she teamed up with Daisuke Shiraki, and Daisuke Shiraki made her No. 1 in 'Avant-Garde Flower Arrangement' and suppressed my sister everywhere.

"My sister managed to get out of the blow of betrayal by the students, but her new skills and performances were nowhere to be shown. Those involved were all afraid of Daisuke Shiraki's power and rejected her. In the end she...she..."

The flashlights of the reporters joined together, illuminating Ozaki Tsui's angry face and Okano Rika who was slumped to the ground.

……

Beside, Toru Amuro glanced at the number of flowers and sighed:

"Fortunately, it was stopped in time, otherwise not only a few people on the stage, but also other guests in the hall..."

Halfway through the speech, he felt that this didn't seem like what "Bourbon" should say, so he added a sentence nonchalantly: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble with us. Even if we don't die, we will inevitably have to go to the hospital a few times."

After finishing speaking, Toru Amuro thought of something and looked down at the phone.

There were a few more messages on the phone, but after looking at them one by one, they were all daily emails, and there were no letters from "Uzo" that he was particularly concerned about.

Toru Amuro: "..." It stands to reason that Uzo should have reacted to the fact that he stopped the "bloody fireworks".But now...

Could it be because Wu Zuo's eyeliner is cooking upstairs and doesn't know the changes here?
...if that's the case.

But Toto Amuro always had an ominous premonition in his heart—although the "Killing Flower Fragrance" tonight was dangerous, but the investigation process went so smoothly, it was as if the murderers were deliberately pushed out to test their abilities ...The "appetizer" is so harmful, what scale of "fireworks" does Wu Zuo plan to set off later?
Amuro thought about it, and suddenly felt a real chill, as if something extremely cold was caressing his back - maybe it was Uzo's secretly observing eyes.

Amuro couldn't help but frowned, turned his head quickly, and looked behind him with sharp eyes.

No suspicious person watching secretly was found.

I only saw Jiang Xia curiously playing with the refrigerant spray bottle.

——The white mist that spewed out gracefully fell from the sky, brushing against Amuro Toru's back, bringing a coolness that was hard to ignore.

Looking at each other, Jiang Xia looked at Toru Amuro's complex expression, and stopped in doubt: "What's wrong?"
