"I see."
After hearing Tang Ze's arrangement, Gao Mu nodded and asked, "Is the editor's identity clear now?"
"When the guests left yesterday, they registered their names. I asked someone to take note of it," Tang Ze replied. "It's a publishing house called Tokyo Impressions, and the editor is Shin Kobayashi."
"It's much more convenient now that I know this. I'll leave now." Gao Mu nodded and said, "If there are any discoveries or any problems later, I will contact you in time."
"Be careful on the road." Tang Ze said goodbye to Takagi, and waited until Saito Hiroshi on the side finished collecting evidence, and then took him back to the Scientific Research Institute.
As Saito Hiroshi said before, most of the items at the explosion site were useless except for increasing the workload, or they were carbonized due to the high temperature and could not be analyzed.
But even so, after several young people from the scientific research team stayed up all night and worked hard, they still managed to find some clues.
As for whether it is useful or not, it depends on whether Tang Ze can find anything in it.
Yesterday they stepped up their efforts to identify the remains with text, but most of the text was useless.
For example, the words on the food bags, although incomplete, can basically be recognized.
However, when he turned to one of the pages, it caught Tang Ze's attention.
"pow..." Tang Ze fell into deep thought as he looked at the word which was missing in the middle and seemed to have the incomplete word "gar" at the end.
"?"
Saito Hiroshi repeated the incomplete word, frowning in thought, "Since it's an item left at the crime scene, it's likely something used to make desserts, right?"
"It's a reasonable inference indeed." Tang Ze frowned and said, "But I really can't think of the word at the moment..."
At this time, I really hate that my English level is only C. If it could be higher, I would be able to complete the vocabulary faster.
"You can investigate first." Saito Hiroshi didn't plan to stay for long: "I'll go test the things I collected first."
"Well, please hurry up, this may be the key clue to solving this."
After Tang Ze finished speaking, he walked towards the office, intending to look for relevant words.
Unfortunately, because there was no specific screening software, Tang Ze's word search progress was not smooth because he could only conduct a large-scale search on the Internet.
When Tang Ze went to eat at noon, he received news from Saito Hiroshi that the test results would be out soon.
Because the amount of sugar on the ground and walls was abnormally large, Tang Ze also took this news very seriously.
After having lunch together in the cafeteria, Tang Ze followed Saito Hiroshi to the machine that analyzed and tested the ingredients.
"As expected, most of it is natural sugar."
Saito Hiroshi looked at the ingredient list and said, "In addition to this, corn flour also accounts for a considerable proportion. This is the component of the condensed carbide."
"Corn flour..." Tang Ze touched his chin and pondered, "It can basically be confirmed that it is used to make desserts.
There was so much carbonized matter made from a mixture of sugar and cornstarch that it covered the walls and the floor...
So it’s powdered sugar.”
"Yeah, powdersugar!"
Saito Hiroshi suddenly realized what Karasawa said: "It turned out to be this. Now we can basically identify the source of the fire."
"Well, I guess this is it." Tang Ze thought for a moment and said, "Now I just need to investigate the sugar powder on the market. I hope I can save some trouble and filter out the stuff."
At this point, Tang Ze pinched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly: "There are not enough people, so I can only investigate it myself..."
When he investigated cases before, the four of them were basically divided into two groups. Now that one person is missing, it feels like things are not going smoothly.
"Then it's time for your 'brain' to exercise its legs and feet." Saito Hiroshi joked.
"Just treat it as shopping." Tang Ze shrugged and headed to several large supermarkets in Neon.
His goal was very simple. He just had to find sugar powder containing corn flour and then compare it with the remaining letter pattern on the evidence.
What he didn't expect was that the investigation work, which he thought would be difficult, was surprisingly simple.
He visited three large supermarkets, and found that the sugar powder in the first two supermarkets did not contain sugar powder made from corn flour.
When he arrived at the third supermarket, he found the only sugar powder made from corn flour.
After comparing the size of the letters on the packaging bag, Tang Ze immediately determined that the brand of sugar powder used in the kitchen where the explosion occurred was this brand.
At the same time that Karasawa was investigating sugar powder in the supermarket, the husband-and-wife duo Takagi and Sato Miwako also arrived at the "Tokyo Impression" publishing house.
After revealing their identities, the two followed the staff's instructions and went to the office area where Shin Kobayashi was located.
However, just as they arrived at the corner of the other person's office and had no time to go up and talk to him, they suddenly heard a sharp male voice.
"Kobayashi-chan, didn't we agree on this before!?"
When Takagi and the others found editor Kobayashi, they discovered that he was talking to Saotome at the desk nearby.
"Who told you that?" Xiao Lin Shen said impatiently, "I told you after the incident happened yesterday, didn't I?
Now that Mamuro Mika has died unexpectedly, there would be no need for this book to be published without the crucial recipes of Mamuro Mika."
"Ah, I can think of a way to deal with this." Saotome Sami smiled charmingly and picked up Kobayashi Shin's tie with her right hand.
