Tang Ze: Detectives can only follow the culprit's footsteps to catch them, but I can rely on knowledge to foresee the future and prevent cases!
Conan: It seems I need to go to Hawaii for ...
Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese confectionery in Japan.
This kind of snack is derived from Imagawa yaki, and both originated in Tokyo.
Taiyaki was invented during the Meiji era when a man named Kobe Aijiro came to Tokyo from Osaka to sell Imagawa yaki. Suffering from poor business, he came up with an improved variety.
In Neon, sea bream has a special status. From the guardian god of the sea, it gradually became the god of commerce and wealth, Ebisu. He holds a fishing rod in his right hand, and the big-headed fish in his left hand represents good luck, which is a sea bream.
Therefore, sea bream has become a fish enjoyed during celebrations and also symbolizes good luck.
Therefore, this snack with beautiful meaning quickly gained people's favor.
It can be said that the only difference between the two dim sum is the shape of the mold, and the workmanship and materials used are actually exactly the same.
But it is this change in shape that can make poisoning easier.
After all, Taiyaki is in the shape of a sea bream, so after poisoning it, it is easy to identify the location of the poison.
"So, where's the evidence?"
Akaname watched Tang Ze clapping with a smile on his face, but his words were completely contrary to his actions, "As a criminal, everything must be based on evidence, right?
I also ask Karasawa-san to produce evidence to prove that I gave my husband Taiyaki, not Imagawayaki."
Such words and completely opposite actions make the meaning very clear.
They will give you hints through their actions and agree with what you say, but they will never leave you any loopholes or handles through their words.
Obviously, Rika Akaname is a very smart opponent. Her words do not leave any loopholes. This is obviously to prevent Tang Ze from carrying a recorder and recording their conversation.
However, Tang Ze would not use this method. After all, he has simpler and more brutal methods to use.
But Tang Ze didn't pay attention to Akaname Rika's behavior. He leaned forward and casually pointed at the Imagawa yaki on the plate and said, "I told you when we first met that cold Imagawa yaki tastes terrible, so you have to heat it up.
So you naturally reheated the food for your husband at dinner, right?"
"Of course." Akaname Rika nodded as a matter of course.
"Then what kind of heated Imagawa ware did you use at that time?" Tang Ze asked immediately.
"Of course, it's grilled..."
Akana Rika's words stopped abruptly, and she came to her senses. After a pause, she quickly changed her words and said, "Of course I heated it in a toaster."
"lie!"
Tang Ze pointed at Akana Rika with an expression that said, "You're not being honest," but his words were filled with undeniable certainty, "You're lying, Miss Akana."
"Why?" Akana Rika's eyes narrowed, and then she asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"It's a very simple logic." Tang Ze picked up an Imagawa yaki. "Look at this Imagawa yaki. It's so big and round. How can it possibly fit in a toaster?"
Tang Ze stretched out his hand and gestured with the width of a finger joint. "Something this thick can't be stuffed into a toaster, right?"
"That oven..."
"Wasn't there roast beef in the oven? And you were supposed to be heating it up at the time."
Tang Ze interrupted Akaname Rika who was about to argue and said bluntly: "You don't want to say that you put Imagawa yaki into a greasy oven, do you?
But then the pastry will be covered in salty butter, and your husband won't break it for you with his bare hands."
"Then how did I poison it?" Akaname Rika asked with interest: "If I poisoned the Taiyaki, how could I ensure that my husband would eat the poisoned half?
I gave the snack to my husband, and he broke it in half and watched me eat it before he ate the other half.”
"It's easy. Just poison the tail of the Taiyaki. The shape of the Taiyaki makes it easy to poison that part, right?"
Tang Ze launched a tactic and leaned back in his chair: "Unlike Imagawa yaki, Taiyaki is in the shape of a fish, so naturally there will be more gourmet food in the head and much less stuffing in the tail.
As a husband, it's normal for Mr. Ace to give you the portion with more fillings, right? Even if you two had a fight yesterday, this habit will not change.
So, you took advantage of your husband's long-standing habit of being with you and put poison in his mouth."
Tang Ze looked at Akaname Rika and smiled, "How is it? I wonder if my reasoning is correct?"
Upon hearing this, Akaname Rika fell silent, the smile on her face disappeared, and she just stared at Tang Ze, looking at him carefully, and then the next moment her smile suddenly bloomed again.
"Before I answer this question, I have a question for you."
"Excuse me." Tang Ze extended his hand politely and said, "Ladies always have privileges."
Akaname Rika looked at Tang Ze with a half-smile and said, "Since you believe that I am the murderer, and that I poisoned Imagawa Sho.
So, who gave you the courage to come to a banquet alone and eat the snacks of a murderer who had once killed someone in the same way?
"Because I know you're not that kind of person."
Tang Ze looked into Akaname Rika's eyes and said, "The reason why such a difficult case occurred is that this crime was accomplished by various coincidences.
In fact, it was very simple at the beginning, but due to various accidental factors of fate, it turned into this unsolvable problem."
Tang Ze restrained his smile and said in a serious tone: "Actually, it's not like that. I think you must have made up your mind that day.
He clearly understood what he was about to do, and with the determination to be arrested, even risking his own life, he carried out the plan.
But fate plays tricks on people like this. Without any thought of escaping, he killed people with the determination to be caught, which led to this most difficult case.
The husband gave half of the snack to Rika Akaname not because he loved his wife, but to let her try the poison.
Because the other person watched her finish eating before starting to eat the other half.
Miss Aisha's photo was destroyed because of the quarrel the day before, so Rika Akaname was unable to prove what she said.
Finally, Aisha's curiosity was aroused, and she chose to go back on a whim. She peeked at her idol and finally saw the moment when Rika Akaname poisoned the idol.
It was her husband's actions and Aisha's impulsive impulse that created this almost perfect crime.
I have to say that fate is really amazing, every sip and bite is predestined by heaven.
"So, I know you're not a bad person."
Tang Ze looked at Akaname Rika seriously and said, "So, I'm not afraid that you'll poison the snacks, because everything you do is upright."
"Yeah... I'm not that calm and insightful killer..."
In the silent room, only Rika Akaname's murmurs accompanied by sobs continued to ring out.
