Paired with a few "dead leaves" made of chocolate, it looks like real wooden stakes at first glance.
"It's been retouched so beautifully that it feels like a new one has been made." Looking at Conan's wry smile, Tang Ze praised with a smile, "What an amazing craftsmanship."
"Thank you for the compliment," Fujino Yasuhiro said with a smile. "But this is really just a slight modification of the cake made by the children. I didn't redo it."
"It's really nice, like a work of art."
Sonoko praised without any intention of giving in to Conan, the little brat, and directly stabbed a piece with a fork: "It looks like real wood, it looks delicious!"
As he spoke, Yuanzi couldn't wait to open his mouth wide, ready to taste this exquisite cake.
But before anyone could put the cake into their mouths, a shrill scream suddenly came from inside the house, attracting everyone's attention.
Tang Ze's face darkened. He told a few people to stay where they were, then immediately stood up and chased Conan towards the source of the scream.
Pushing open the door to the house, Conan, relying on his small size, immediately rushed in through the gap in the door opened by Tang Ze.
Soon he saw the two pastry chefs, Tsuyoshi Maeda and Tomomi Morimoto, whom he had met before.
However, the two of them were obviously in a bad state at the moment. Tomomi Morimoto was sobbing with her hands covering her face out of fear, while Tsuyoshi Maeda also closed his eyes, as if he was afraid to look ahead.
Tang Ze came over to the two of them and saw a middle-aged woman with short hair lying on the ground behind the cash register.
He quickly stepped forward, placed his fingers on the other's neck to feel the pulse, and finally shook his head.
From the moment he heard this standard scream, Tang Ze actually already felt that the victim might not be saved.
After all, although screams may be made by different people and may occasionally be absent, every time they are heard, they almost always indicate the death of a life.
Well, the reason why it is "almost" is because occasionally there are some lucky people or important supporting characters who are lucky enough to be spared by luck or Conan's face, so the word "all" is not used to describe it.
But this time the deceased obviously did not have such good luck and tragically became a victim of Conan.
Well, all the cases in which Conan was present had nothing to do with Tang Ze's "Death Physique", and Tang Ze justifiably put the blame on Conan.
However, this is not the time to put the blame on others. After asking about the identities of the two deceased, Tang Ze guessed what the case was about.
Simply put, this case is another case of grievances and hatred between an employee and his boss.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the store manager's body in front of him.
In the world of science, bosses are often the victims, making this a truly high-risk profession...
Even though he has summarized N "scientific laws" and is a well-deserved top master in the "scientific world", he still cannot prevent all murders.
Just like in this case, they just came over to have a dessert, and no one came up to chat with them or to form a team. There was absolutely no sign at all, and the murder happened just like that.
Besides, the dead middle-aged woman, Tang Ze, they had never seen or encountered before. How could they prevent...
Before the incident, the chef was just a stranger to them, like an "NPC" who sold things. He would not have noticed any conflicts among them and that a case might have occurred, unless Tang Ze saw them arguing.
It’s a pity that Tang Ze, who was obsessed with cake this time, may have missed the possible signs of a crime, and he missed the opportunity to get a generous reward.
"Call the police, the man is already dead"
Suppressing all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Tang Ze examined the body while giving instructions to Conan.
He then stood up and showed the criminal certificate to the two people at the scene, and asked them to call security personnel to help maintain the scene.
When the sirens sounded, Inspector Megure rushed over with his men and saw Tang Ze with a look of surprise: "Tang Ze-kun, why are you here? And Lan Sang, Conan..."
"We came here to participate in a dessert event, but who knew we would encounter something like this..."
Tang Ze always felt that the other party's surprise had some hidden meaning, as if to say, "Why are you always at the murder scene?"
So he laughed awkwardly twice, quickly changed the subject and reported on the case he had sorted out.
The morning's activities ended shortly after midnight, and the body was discovered around half past twelve.
After twelve o'clock, there were only three pastry chefs left in the house. Among them, Fujino Yasuo made Conan's cake and sent it to them.
Tomomi Morimoto asked the children at the counter to go out for dinner, and then returned to the kitchen to prepare cookies for the afternoon activities.
Maeda Tsuyoshi also went out because someone from the office called him about something, so he went to the office within 10 minutes after 12:25.
In addition, according to the testimony of Fujino Yasuo.
When he was out, the deceased store manager Sachiko Hashigaki was checking the accounts, but because she seemed very focused, he did not greet her.
"In other words, the criminal killed someone in those few minutes when Mr. Fujino walked out to give the cake to Conan, right?"
After listening to the information Karasawa had gathered, Inspector Megure nodded and immediately looked at Maeda Tsuyoshi beside him and said, "When I heard Karasawa-kun recount his testimony just now, I was a little confused. It seems that only your testimony is very accurate. Can you explain why?"
"Actually, this is an occupational hazard of mine," Maeda explained. "I'm used to checking the clock all the time when I make cakes, because I need to use timers like ovens."
