Chapter 1042 1050 [Look at this pot...]

However, Amuro Toru thought secretly: There is one thing that is puzzling.

——Uzo specially invited him to the municipal building to watch the "grand fireworks festival." He used such an adjective, but it couldn't be just to assassinate a bad-tempered cooking teacher.

There must be some other conspiracy.

Could it be that Wuzo wanted to create a gas explosion and send everyone in the classroom into the sky?

Amuro Toru's eyes became alert for a moment.

But thinking back to the scene in the classroom just now, he felt that this was not easy to do - there was no gas stove in this classroom, everything was heated by electromagnetic induction. It was difficult to create an explosion.

Wait, speaking of "fireworks"...

Amuro Toru suddenly remembered something.

He took out the mobile phone from his pocket and opened the email that Jiang Xia had just sent him.

Inside was a photograph of a threatening letter made up of a collage of single words: "The flower of death will bloom at tonight's party."

"Flower of Death..."

Toru Amuro repeated it in a low voice, trying to figure out whether this "flower of death" and the "fireworks" that Usa mentioned were the same "flower".

…

It was impossible to figure out Wu Zuo's thoughts for the time being.

However, since there is no progress in the cooking class for the time being, it seems necessary to meet up with Jiang Xia first to see what is going on there, especially with regard to the threatening letter.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro looked around and installed a mini surveillance camera in the corner of the corridor, facing the door of the cooking classroom, so that he could monitor the situation at the door at any time through his mobile phone.

——In this way, if Usa... No, if Okiya Subaru really intends to blow up the kitchen, he will definitely leave here first. I will be able to detect it in time and have more time to react.

…

After doing all this, Toru Amuro looked at the well-hidden camera, turned around and went downstairs to find Jiang Xia.

He quickly went down to the banquet hall.

Feeling the lively and harmonious environment around him, Toru Amuro couldn't help but feel a little emotional - with Jiang Xia and several of his classmates here, it can still be so peaceful here, he really can't get used to it.

As soon as the thought came to my mind, I suddenly heard a terrified scream of "Ah——!" from a distance.

“?!”

Amuro Toru's steps froze.

He suddenly raised his head and stared at the direction where the sound came from.

After looking for a while, he finally sighed and ran over tiredly and quickly.

…

Turning around the staff passage, they saw Jiang Xia and his two companions, and a strange woman, standing at the door of a lounge.

The door was wide open, and judging by the shocked reactions of the four people, there was obviously something fishy in the room - such as a dead body, or... two dead bodies?

Amuro Toru ran over with his head held high: "…What happened?"

Jiang Xia came to his senses and saw him running closer, so he moved aside a little at the door to give the boss a viewing position.

Amuro Toru looked into the room.

…

The luxurious lounge is carpeted, with a sofa and coffee table in the middle for entertaining guests.

On one of the sofas, a middle-aged man was lying on it, his chest flat and with a tight, deformed tie wrapped around his neck. He looked dead.

Toru Amuro swept his eyes across the lounge and instantly took in all the information.

His first reaction was - there was only one corpse?

“…”

Amuro Toru calmly pressed his forehead, drove away the inappropriate thoughts of a police officer from his mind, and then said like the boss of a detective agency:

"Call the police."

After a pause, he looked at the well-dressed deceased in the lounge again: "By the way, who is this?"

Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko fished through the folds of her dress, pulled out a cell phone, and unskillfully dialed the police - usually when she encountered a murder case, it was Xiaolan who called the police and she called an ambulance. Now that she had changed her role, her movements were not as smooth as before.

Jiang Xia answered Toru Amuro's question:

"I remember his name was Shiraki Daisuke, and he was the sponsor of the main character of the dinner, Ms. Okano Rika. I don't remember any more details."

As he spoke, Jiang Xia looked at the secretary next to him who had not yet come to his senses, and signaled to Amuro Toru that if he had any questions, he could ask the "suspicious element" who had taken the initiative to lead them to the lounge.

…

Amuro Toru asked a few questions with a hint of meaning.

Then he took out his cell phone, turned around and leaned against the wall, secretly logged into the organization's internal intelligence database, and entered the name "Shiraki Daisuke".

The page refreshed, showing the relevant information of several people with the same name.

Toru Amuro quickly identified one of them based on various information.

He clicked on the page, glanced at the information page, and quickly scrolled down to the notes.

The organization would collect any slightly famous person into the database, so that the members could "use" them in various ways and for various purposes when necessary. The remarks column would often contain the "recommended use" of those people and the relationship between them and the organization.

And now it seems...

Amuro Toru thought as he pressed his phone: Shiraki Daisuke doesn't seem to have much connection with the organization. This president just likes to promote some celebrities and let them endorse his products, and occasionally hype various news, which is equivalent to half an entertainment agency.

Amuro Toru: "..." Since it has nothing to do with the organization. Could it be that this murder has nothing to do with Uzo and is just an accident?

Or maybe this unlucky president accidentally offended Uzo in some way and was targeted?

…

Toru Amuro didn't stay on the page for too long.

He was about to exit. But before that, he suddenly remembered something and typed in "Okiya Subaru" and clicked the search button.

This time, unlike when he searched for "Shiraki Daisuke" just now, Toru Amuro was unable to find any relevant information.

There are two possibilities. One is that Subaru Okiya really has nothing to do with the organization.

The other type is the information related to "Okiya Subaru", which has been deliberately hidden.

Toru Amuro: “…” According to his previous investigation, the confidentiality clearance of “Uzo” seems to have always been very high.

If Uzo wanted to deliberately hide certain files, he could indeed achieve the current effect.

Toru Amuro exited the webpage thoughtfully and put away his phone.

He was not surprised by this "result of no result" - "Okiya Subaru" was a guy who was suspected to be "Usa". If he checked the database, the relevant information about him would immediately pop up, which would make things seem strange.

…

Not long after, the police arrived.

Inspector Megure returned to the familiar neighborhood and directed his subordinates to investigate the scene.

At the same time, he looked around and his eyes quickly locked on a person in the corner.

Inspector Megure walked straight to Jiang Xia's side and asked expectantly, "What do you think?"

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said directly: "There is no sign of resistance, and the deceased seemed to have passed away peacefully. He might have been strangled to death while he lost consciousness. In addition, if he was strangled to death from the front in an instant by a very strong person, it would also create a similar scene."
