Chapter 1044 1052 [Fatal Trap from Uzo] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro couldn't help but look across the venue again.
Before I could find out anything, I saw something flash by my side.
Toru Amuro turned his head and saw Jiang Xia walking towards the corridor, quietly following Rika Okano and her assistant.
“…”
Toru Amuro looked at the wrestler who was gradually knocked to the ground by Sato Miwako, then looked at Jiang Xia's back, hesitated for a moment, and followed him.
Jiang Xia’s analysis just now makes a lot of sense.
Compared to the burly wrestler who doesn't understand art, it is Rika Okano who is closer to the center of the case and "Flower".
…
Rika Okano's lounge is not too far from the banquet hall.
When Toru Amuro was halfway there, he suddenly noticed that Jiang Xia's behavior in front of him was a little strange - he seemed to want to knock on the door, but he heard something and suddenly stopped.
"?" Toru Amuro vaguely felt something was wrong, so he took a few quick steps and eavesdropped with Jiang Xia.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a burst of undisguised laughter coming from the room.
"Haha, that bastard is finally dead!" It was Okano Rika's voice. "He was just a stepping stone for me to succeed. It would have been great if he had just supported me. But he actually wanted to control me. He really overestimated his own abilities - he died a good death!"
Ozaki Midori hastily dissuaded him: "Teacher, stop talking. If others hear you talking like this, you will be misunderstood."
"As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one can hear you." Rika Okano waved her hands in disappointment as she got no response.
It's almost time for the flower arrangement performance to begin.
Okano Rika didn't say anything more. She stood up and walked to the full-length mirror, checked her appearance for the last time, and was quite satisfied with her appearance. Then she said, "Okay, let's go."
…
The two men left the lounge, locked the door, and left quickly.
After they left.
Two figures poked out from the corner, and with a hint of stealth, they returned to Rika Okano's lounge.
Jiang Xia looked down at the locked door, then turned to look at Toru Amuro standing next to him.
Amuro Toru took out a piece of wire from somewhere, inserted it into the keyhole and fiddled with it for a few times. Soon, the door opened with a click.
Jiang Xia nodded and pushed the door open with satisfaction.
Amuro Toru put away his tools and glanced at Jiang Xia's back, a little confused: Why do I always have the illusion that I am working for an employee...
But that's not the point. The point is obviously the case at hand and Uzo's possible conspiracy.
…
Toru Amuro quickly put aside the inexplicable thoughts that popped up in his mind.
He followed in and closed the door.
Taking a quick glance around the lounge, I saw Jiang Xia walking to a corner, squatting down, seemingly checking something.
So Toru Amuro also walked over there.
Looking down, he saw a double-layer food storage box in front of Jiang Xia.
——In this place where the organizer provided a sumptuous dinner and fruits and wine, this box seemed a bit redundant.
Things that seem redundant at first glance often mean "there's something else going on".
…
"Open it and have a look?" Jiang Xia touched the lid of the box, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the police officer next to him.
Even a detective shouldn't blatantly break the law. As for things like "breaking into a house and picking the lock" and "rummaging through someone else's luggage without permission", it's of course most convenient for Amuro Toru to take the blame.
Amuro Toru didn't think much about it, and he was obviously used to doing this kind of thing. He nodded, squatted down, pinched the lid of the box through his gloves, and carefully lifted it up.
As the lid of the box was opened, two bottles of medicine placed side by side were revealed in the top compartment.
"Refrigerant?" Jiang Xia leaned over to take a look, and his eyes quickly fell on the larger bottle.
Seeing that Toru Amuro was a little confused, he explained: "Okano Rika's 'magic flower arrangement' probably uses refrigerant to freeze the flowers in advance, causing them to shrink into buds, and then uses the rising temperature to make the buds suddenly bloom at a certain point in time... But I remember that just now, when the staff helped them move their performance costumes, they had already moved the refrigerant to the stage."
"Maybe this is a spare bottle and I forgot to bring it with me." Toru Amuro took his eyes off the refrigerant and looked down at the other bottle.
After seeing the label clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "...Silicon Hydrocyanide?!"
Although this substance is not as common as potassium cyanide in daily life, it is also a deadly poison. It is very easy to vaporize and spread. If a person inhales a high concentration of gas in a short period of time, he or she will die immediately. Even if it is not inhaled, it may cause an explosion when it reaches a certain concentration.
Toru Amuro thought of the lethality of this drug and his eyes became more and more serious: the murderer actually brought hydrocyanic acid silicic acid, and judging from the amount left in the bottle, he must have used up a lot of it - this was no longer a simple murder case, but a premeditated large-scale attack targeting the many celebrities coming and going in the banquet hall!
——The "fireworks festival" that Usa created was indeed not something as simple as "blowing up a cooking classroom". Before, Subaru Okiya went to the cooking classroom, probably just to divert his attention, or to take the initiative to leave this dangerous banquet hall... In short, an attack of this scale must be stopped by all means!
…
When Toru Amuro stared at the dangerous drugs in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Next to him, Jiang Xia was still carrying on his normal activities - perhaps because he was not targeted by "Uzo" and had not received any strange invitations, Jiang Xia was quite calm at this moment, much calmer than Toru Amuro.
"He even brought poison. It seems that the murderer who sent the letter will indeed take other actions later."
Like an ordinary detective at work, Jiang Xia briefly commented on the bottle of dangerous drugs that made Amuro Toru tense.
Then, before Toru Amuro could react, he lifted up the top grid with a click through his handkerchief: "There's another layer underneath. Let's see what's inside..."
Before he finished speaking, Toru Amuro suddenly stood up and pulled Jiang Xia away.
"???" Jiang Xia was suddenly pulled so hard that the refrigerant in the grid almost fell to the ground. He caught the bottle that was thrown away and turned to look at Amuro Toru in surprise.
Toru Amuro was staring at the box on the ground.
His eyes fell on the bottom of the box that was exposed after Jiang Xia opened the top compartment.
There was some crushed ice stuffed inside for insulation, and on top of the ice was an ordinary ice tray with a few small ice cubes frozen in it. Apart from that, there was no deadly mechanism as imagined.
There was a brief silence in the room.
Toru Amuro: "..."
Just now, after seeing the silicic acid hydrogen cyanide on the upper layer of the safe and guessing Uzo's plan of "releasing poison gas and causing an explosion", Toru Amuro couldn't help but become alert.
——He always felt that the step of "investigating and uncovering Uzo's conspiracy" was too smooth.
