Chapter 1046 1054 [Death Caress] Ask for monthly ticketヾ(●｀●)～
In the corner of the banquet hall, a group of plainclothes policemen walked back and forth.
Jiang Xia glanced around the hall and soon saw Sato Miwako standing near the stage, speaking in a low voice into the intercom. Officer Sato noticed his gaze, looked over, and nodded to Jiang Xia.
——After understanding the reason behind President Shiraki’s death, she also knew what she should do now.
…
A beam of light soon came on the stage in front of the banquet hall.
"Today is the commemorative reception for Ms. Rika Okano's winning of the World Art Award. Thank you all for taking the time to come!" The host tried to make his voice sound relaxed.
According to the pre-planned process, there should have been an introduction to "President Shiraki" and a related speech at this time.
However, just now, the host received a notice that President Shiraki had suddenly passed away. Of course, these procedures had to be cancelled, otherwise the body bag could not be brought up.
After the host announced the opening, he went straight to the point somewhat awkwardly:
"Then, please enjoy Mr. Okano's flower arranging performance!"
…
Rika Okano walked onto the stage, looked down at the celebrities below, bowed to the audience with great vigor, and her assistant stood respectfully behind her.
After a brief speech, Rika Okano placed the vase, inserted a few dry branches, and then moved to the side of the stage with an elegant dance posture, ready to come out with the flower buds to complete the subsequent shape.
However, when I arrived at the place and reached out to take the flowers.
She suddenly found that there was a person standing next to her flower basket.
——Jiang Xia was holding a palm-sized spray bottle in his hand and was looking down at the basket of flowers on the ground.
When Okano Rika looked at him in confusion, Jiang Xia suddenly bent his fingers slightly and pressed the switch of the spray bottle.
laugh--
A white mist poured out in a cone, covering the flower basket. The temperature around them dropped sharply, and the flower buds that had bloomed at the right time suddenly shrank back when they were suddenly struck by the cold.
"...What are you doing?!" Okano Rika was furious - her performance required extremely high temperature and time. The flowers would bloom at the calculated time, but Jiang Xia suddenly refrozen them... Wouldn't she have to wait for them to bloom and dance on the stage for a long time so that the flower arrangement would be in sync with the flowers? !
...This is a shameless act of destroying art!
She angrily wanted to rush over to stop it.
But before he could do anything, there was a similar "hiss" and "hiss" sound all around.
“?!”
Okano Rika turned around in disbelief and saw that not only the basket of flowers in front of her, but also various other lilies, roses... were all surrounded by police. They were carefully sprayed with cold air, and then the bags were opened and the flowers were tightly wrapped up.
"…What are you doing?? What are you doing?! Ozaki! Stop them!"
Okano Rika was furious. How dare these bastard police officers forcefully terminate her dinner party without her consent?!
Her assistant, Ozaki Midori, stood behind her, watching all this in silence and with complicated thoughts, without moving.
"Ms. Okano, Ms. Ozaki."
A hand was placed on each of their shoulders. Sato Miwako glanced at her colleague from the forensic department. The colleague was holding a set of reagents, nodded solemnly at her, and told her that the closed flower buds were indeed poisonous.
Miwako Sato then continued to say to the two people: "You are suspected of poisoning in public and killing Daisuke Shiraki. Please come over here and cooperate with the investigation."
"..." Okano Rika was confused.
She glared at Officer Sato, and after a moment, she suddenly looked at Ozaki Midori.
She knew clearly that she had not poisoned anyone, let alone killed anyone. So the murderer was...
…
A few minutes later.
"motivation?"
Ozaki Midori laughed and tucked her hair behind her ears. Her expression was still gentle and humble, but her words were not "gentle": "-Of course it's because of Shiraki and this woman. They all deserve to die."
"What did you say?!" Okano Rika couldn't believe that this little assistant dared to say such a thing. But she didn't dare to go over when she remembered that Ozaki Midori had just strangled Shiraki and almost succeeded in killing her.
Ozaki Sui looked up at the reporters who were eavesdropping outside the police station and suddenly said:
“This flower arrangement technique was pioneered by my sister.
"Rika Okano was my sister's student at the time - my sister taught her everything without reservation, but after she learned everything, she took the initiative to hook up with Shiraki Daisuke.
"Rika Okano knew that she would never be able to make a name for herself as long as my sister was around, so she colluded with Daisuke Shiraki and let Daisuke Shiraki promote her as the number one in 'avant-garde flower arrangement', suppressing my sister in every way.
"My sister finally recovered from the blow of her student's betrayal, but she had no place to display her new skills and performances. All the relevant personnel were afraid of Shiraki Daisuke's power and rejected her. In the end, she...she..."
The reporters' flashlights combined to illuminate Ozaki Midori's angry face and Okano Rika who was sitting dejectedly on the ground.
…
Beside him, Toru Amuro took a quick look at the number of flowers and sighed:
"Fortunately, we stopped it in time, otherwise not only the few people on the stage, but also the other guests in the hall..."
Halfway through his speech, he felt that this was not what Bourbon should say, so he added nonchalantly, "I'm afraid we will both be in big trouble. Even if we don't die, we'll inevitably have to go to the hospital a few times."
After saying that, Toru Amuro remembered something and looked down at his phone.
There were a few more messages on his phone, but when he looked at them one by one, they were all daily emails, and there was no letter from "Uzo" that he was particularly concerned about.
Amuro Toru: "..." Logically speaking, since he stopped this "bloody fireworks", Uzo should have some reaction. But now...
Could it be because Wu Zo’s spy was cooking upstairs and didn’t know about the changes here?
…It would be nice if that were true.
But in Toru Amuro's heart, he always had a bad feeling - although tonight's "murderous flower fragrance" was dangerous, the investigation process was too smooth, as if the murderer was deliberately pushed out to test their abilities... The "appetizer" was so harmful, so what scale of "fireworks" did Uzo plan to set off later?
As Amuro Toru was thinking, he suddenly felt a real chill, as if something extremely cold was touching his back - perhaps it was Usa's secretly observing gaze.
Toru Amuro couldn't help but frown, turned his head suddenly, and looked behind him with sharp eyes.
No suspicious persons were found observing secretly.
All I saw was Jiang Xia curiously playing with the refrigerant spray bottle.
——The white mist that was sprayed out floated down gracefully from the sky, brushing against Amuro Toru’s back, bringing a hint of coolness that was hard to ignore.
The two sides looked at each other. Jiang Xia looked at Amuro Toru's complicated expression and stopped his movements in confusion: "What's wrong?"
