After the arrival of the large group, Tang Ze first comforted Ayako, and then went to the explosion site to reunite with everyone.
"Anyway, let's start the investigation." Tang Ze let the people who were carrying the bodies pass and began to look around the entire kitchen.
Because he was busy rescuing people and putting out the fire, he didn't take a close look at the layout of the entire kitchen. Now he naturally had to take a closer look and engrave the crime scene in his mind.
Compared to the kitchen in an ordinary person's home, the kitchen area of this professionally made cake and dessert kitchen is obviously much larger.
The entire room is about 20 square meters and is square in shape. The door is in the lower left corner, and the oven is in the upper left corner.
As for the convenient upper right and lower right areas, various tools are placed there, and in the middle of the room is a large chopping board, which is convenient for preparatory work such as kneading dough and decorating cakes.
The oven in the upper left corner was the first thing that caught Tang Ze's attention.
Judging from the extent of the damage, this seemed to be the explosion point. Tang Ze saw that the bricks on the nearby wall were blown away.
"Judging from the direction of the splashing of tile fragments, the blast wave was heading towards the door."
Saito Hiroshi approached the oven, looking at the huge, now blackened and shabby oven, and concluded, "This oven is definitely where the fire started."
"Did you find anything?" Tang Ze looked at Saito Hiroshi and asked.
"this."
Saito Hiroshi picked up a twisted iron cake tray with black embroidery on its surface and said, "Generally speaking, this kind of tray needs to be kept in a high temperature environment of over 700 degrees for more than 14 hours to become like this.
But Detective Tang Ze, you guys put out the fire quickly, right?
"You mean, a considerable amount of firepower was concentrated in a short period of time, which caused this tray to become what it is now?" Tang Ze said suddenly.
"It looks like a gas explosion." Takagi walked over and looked at the oven and said.
"Don't make a decision yet. Wait until you've finished investigating."
Tang Ze patted Takagi's shoulder, but his eyes looked at the dark wall on the right.
On the dark wall, there was a very obvious rectangular mark that was much whiter than the surrounding area.
Thinking of what Ayako had introduced at the banquet, Tang Ze estimated the size of the rectangular mark on the wall and found that the plaque for the highest domestic dessert award won by Sato Akiko seemed to be exactly the same size.
Thinking of this, Tang Ze immediately suspected Sato Akiko who survived the explosion.
First of all, after this case happened, Tang Ze did not think that the case was an accident.
At least cases that happen around him can basically say goodbye to accidents.
In this case, Akiko Sato survived, along with her cherished award.
This situation forced Tang Ze to doubt the other party.
After all, many criminals in the past would reveal their flaws when committing crimes because they were reluctant to part with their precious things. Tang Ze had to suspect that the other party was the same.
Of course, guesses are just guesses, and Tang Ze still needs facts to verify them.
Because Akiko Sato had been sent to the hospital by ambulance to treat her injuries, Tang Ze was not afraid of alerting the enemy.
After checking the entire kitchen situation, Tang Ze walked out of the crime scene and reunited with Ayako.
"By the way, let me ask you something. Do you know that the plaque that Sato Akiko won the award for is taken out and hung outside the banquet hall every year at the banquet?" Tang Ze asked as he walked out holding Ayako's hand.
"I don't think there was one last year..." Ayako recalled, "but I'm not sure about the previous time. I didn't attend many such parties when I was in school..."
"Really? Then let's go ask someone else."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "There's a pastry critic named Saotome who seems to be someone who attends the banquet every year. Let's go ask him."
"It's him."
Ayako suddenly realized what was going on and said, "If it's him, he should know. After all, he and Sato Akiko have been friends for many years and he comes to participate every year."
The two of them walked towards the hall while talking.
Because of the explosion, many guests were anxious to leave, as there was no evidence that they had any connection with the explosion. So after a brief questioning and registration, all the guests left this dangerous place.
Fortunately, Tang Ze still saw that Saotome had not left, and was leaning against him and talking to a man outside the banquet hall.
Because the two people did not hide the content of their conversation, Tang Zhe easily heard the content of their conversation.
"Xiao Lin, please, think of a solution."
Not far away, Saotome was still crying in that effeminate tone, "No matter what, you must find a way to publish my book!"
"I really can't!"
The man Saotome called Kobayashi said with an impatient look on his face, "Ms. Mamuro is dead now, how can I publish a book for you?"
"I'll figure out a way to do that." Saotome Saki glared at him, her fingers curled up in the air. "If you can't publish the book, I won't forgive you."
Seeing Ayako and Karasawa walking towards them, Saotome Sami hurriedly ended the topic.
"Excuse me for interrupting your conversation? I'd like to ask about Ms. Sato Akiko's award."
Tang Ze pointed to the award plaque beside him and said, "This is the highest award in Neon, right?"
"Yes, it's Sato-sensei's darling." Saotome Sami wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Of course, she can't compare to Mika-chan at all."
