Conan: Silence in the Dark
Chapter 52
"It's a pity, but things that have been arranged can't be interrupted just like that, and I think that's what Chef Daisuke, who died soon, hopes for it. Today, we also invited Detective Kogoro Mori and his family to make tasting reviews, and the two people with the most points today will be the head chef and sous chef of this restaurant. After Sato and Takagi left for the forensic investigation, Man announced to the people in the store.
Kogoro and Eiri, who were sitting in the living room and serving as judges with the store manager and staff, stood up and bowed slightly to everyone during the introduction, expressing their honor.
And Xiao Jing retracted the hand that was reaching for dessert in Xiao Lan's stern eyes and drank pure milk, and Conan also sat with his chest upright.
By the way, Xiao Jing's dessert in front of her was still brought by Xiao Lan, but at the same time, she also "suggested" in a commanding tone that Xiao Jing can't eat it today. It means that the punishment for Xiao Jing can only be seen and not eaten.
Cut, wait until you don't notice me to eat. Xiao Jing was not worried about Xiaolan's punishment at all, and was ready to be lectured after eating. Anyway, the pot has already been thrown to Conan.
And Conan over there didn't know that he was going to be lectured by Xiaolan, and kept throwing questioning glances at Xiao Jing, which was naturally ignored by Xiao Jing.
After Chef Man announced the start, the participating chefs also served up their own delicacies. There are a total of twelve chefs, and I have to say that Manwu is indeed a very high-end restaurant, and there are as many as fourteen chefs (excluding the cooks) (Manhe deceased).
"Here it is, it's the chef's signature dish. The young woman who worked at the front desk of the interim jury said happily.
"Kikuko, you're rude to other chefs like this!" the colleague next to her immediately reminded.
"Ah, I'm so sorry. Kikuko immediately bent down to apologize to the other chefs present.
"Don't mind, this is also a manifestation of the strength of the South Ship, which shows that I am still a little short of the heat. One of them, a handsome man with glasses and a chef's hat behind his hat was a handsome man with long, feminine pink hair.
"That's right, Nanai is right. "The other chefs also said they were fine.
In fact, because they are all colleagues, there is no misunderstanding or dissatisfaction.
"So let's start tasting. "The tray full of vegetables was opened, revealing the steak-shaped dishes inside.
"Steak? Doesn't seem to be. "Xiao Jing was a certain distance away from the tray, so I didn't see it clearly at first, but after a moment, I immediately realized that it wasn't, because there was no beef on the surface, and there should be lines, because it was pork or chicken or other meat.
"This is the grilled chicken steak with sauce I made, and the sauce with the right amount of marinated chicken chops and various spices will not disappoint you. Nanchuan introduced on the side.
Chef Man and Nanchuan divided the chicken steak into eight small parts, and everyone who handed it to the judges, of course, Chef Man also kept a copy himself.
"Mom, I want to eat too. Xiao Jing ran to Yingli's side at this time and said.
"I wonder how you're so quiet today, you little glutton. Ying Li turned around and playfully scratched Xiao Jing's nose.
"It hurts. Xiao Jing screamed fakely.
"Hey, hey, ah!" Yingli knew Xiao Jing's routine, and knew that this was a signal for Xiao Jing to ask for food. Reluctantly, he cut a small piece of it on a small plate and put it into Xiao Jing's mouth.
"It's delicious. Xiao Jing felt really good after eating, and she felt like she wanted to continue eating, obviously she had eaten a lot of sweets not long ago, and she also tried some of them when she was cooking with Xiao Lan, not to mention that she was definitely a person who should have eaten a long time ago.
"So, please write down the two chefs you think are the best on a slip of paper, and we'll make a public announcement after dinner. I'll be able to cook dinner later, and I'm going to be the chef at the end, so I'm grateful to all of you for all the time. "Man stood and bowed to everyone in thanks.
"Where, we have been taken care of by Mr. Man. "
"yes/That's right. Others echoed Nanai.
"It's such a pleasant shop. Xiaolan sighed sincerely.
"yes, it's a pity for Daisuke-sama. Kogoro sighed again after agreeing.
"Then I'll be Mr. Man's assistant!" said Minamifune after Man had decided to come and cook the last meal for everyone.
"Let me help too!".
"Yes, the food may not be as good as the manager, but as an assistant, I can still do it. Other chefs have also expressed their desire to help.
"No, no, no, isn't it all done together in the end? Man first rejected everyone's request, but everyone was so enthusiastic that they chose Nanai as an assistant. After all, you need to cook so many meals, and it will be a little difficult to cook them yourself.
"My dear. Eiri picked up his cup and nodded to Kogoro as their attention shifted to Mr. Man's side.
"Hmm. Kogoro nodded in response. Then Eri took the person to put the cup in his bag without paying attention, and then left under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
"Sister, help me get rid of the tissues. Xiao Jing looked at the paper towel on the table and judged that she was still a little short of height, so she asked her sister for help, and after eating the chicken chop, Xiao Jing returned to Xiao Lan's side.
"Come on. Xiaolan took a tissue and motioned to help Xiaojing wipe her mouth.
Xiao Jing obediently turned her face away and asked Xiao Lan to wipe herself.
"Conan. After wiping her mouth, Jing ran out of her seat and came to Conan's side.
"What's wrong?" Conan looked at Jing with some vigilance.
"Conan, I think I've found it too. Xiao Jing said to Conan with a little smugness.
"What did you find?" Conan immediately turned into detective mode.
"Follow me. Xiao Jing did not immediately explain to Conan, but motioned for Conan to follow.
"Don't cause trouble to other people. Xiaolan, who was on the side, saw Conan following Xiao Jing, thinking that the two children were going to play somewhere, and ordered.
"Okay sister/Sister Xiaolan. Jing and Conan agreed.
Xiao Jing came to the table where she had just tasted, climbed onto the chair and took a paper towel to wipe it on the plate with the sauce remaining, and then jumped down and walked to the side of no one. Conan immediately followed, and after Conan came, the waiter's staff also cleaned up the plates, and Xiaolan also acted as a waiter to help clean up as a return gift this time.
In the corner, Jing whispered to Conan about her discovery.
"What?" Conan cried out in surprise.
"There won't be any danger, will it?" Conan then asked.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, it's not a lot. Xiao Jing said affirmatively.
Then one by one, the dishes were served on a tray, and the table was filled with people. There aren't even any pauses in between, and this mastery of the timing of the ripening of the dishes makes the chefs sitting in their seats sigh to themselves.
Manwa Nanai also changed back into civilian clothes soon after.
While he was about to say what to write, Sato walked in again with Takagi.
"Sorry to disturb your meal. But there are some things that we need to go with the store manager. Sato said straight to the point.
"Why are you here again, what's the matter with the store manager?" asked the woman named Kikuko dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, but I asked Officer Sato to come. Kogoro stood up at this time.
"Mr. Mori?" the crowd looked at Kogoro questioningly.
"Because the murderer is the manager of the store!" Kogoro said, pointing to the man opposite.
"How is that possible!, Mr. Man, who was with you when Mr. Daisuke was killed!" Nanai asked.
"It was arranged in advance by Mr. Man, and he killed Mr. Daisuke after opening the door of his personal kitchen with a key. Then use the frozen tomato middle drill through as a link point, link the two ropes around Mr. Daisuke, tie them to the vent, and drag Mr. Daisuke with the rope, because of the steaming heat of the cooking, in fact, Xiaolan and Minamifune, and you don't see Mr. Daisuke clearly, and naturally the rope behind Mr. Daisuke is not here, so Mr. Man makes a perfect alibi. Kogoro reasoned.
"The rope and tomatoes were found at the scene, although the fingerprints on the rope and tomatoes could not be identified, but Mr. Man's fingerprints were identified on the exhaust fan. In the end, only the murder weapon was not found. Sato continued.
"How is that possible!" Nanchuan said with a look of disbelief.
"I'm sorry I have long suspected the store manager, so I just asked the insider to give Mr. Man's cup to the appraiser for identification. I knew when I solved the mystery of Daisuke's time, that only you could arrange a time to talk to us, and only you could use the key to open the door and go in and kill Daisuke-san without anyone noticing. Kogoro said confidently.
"Mr. Man?/Store Manager?" the others asked Man with expressions of disbelief.
"Trust me, it's not me. "Man is naturally immediately denied.
"That's right, the store manager is not that kind of person!" Nanai said excitedly.
"Nanai, don't get excited. I didn't kill anyone, I know that better than anyone! I'll go with Officer Sato first, and if I were an innocent Mr. Maori, I'll certainly do it for me. Man patted Nanai's shoulder and said.
"That's right, if Mr. Man is innocent, gambling on my reputation won't hurt Mr. Man in any way!" Kogoro said handsomely on the side.
"I'll be back soon after I've been proven innocent, so let's get off work today after you finish eating. In the past few days since I was away, Nanchuan and Nanai were in charge first, and I have seen the ballots just now. Nanai is the head chef, and Minami is the sous chef, please continue to work hard. After a few words, he followed Sato and left.
And Kogoro and his entourage naturally followed behind Sato, after all, they all sent the store manager to the bureau, and they were not so cheeky that they continued to stay and eat.
After the manager left, the others lost interest and ate some casually and went back from work.
"Nanai, no, head chef, you should go back first. I'll just tidy it up and I'll close the door. Minamifune said to Nanai, who had stayed until the end like himself.
"Well, I believe the store manager is innocent, and he will be back soon. Nanai was still a little excited.
"I believe it too, but I think you're tired too, so go back and rest. Nanchuan looked at Nanjing's emotions and began to get excited again, and he said with pity and comfort.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper, so I'll leave it to you first. Nanai obviously knew his state and went back after resting for a while.
After Nani leaves, Minamifune walks to his personal cooking room and opens the drawer on the lowest level.
"Sure enough, it's you, Mr. Nanchuan. At this time, Kogoro walked in with a handsome posture in his trouser pockets, accompanied by Eiri, Xiaolan, Conan, Xiaojing, and Sato Takagi and Manager Man, and even Nanai, who was supposed to leave, was also there.
"Why are you here?" Nanchuan's eyes widened as he stared at the crowd.
"Of course waiting for the real murderer. Kogoro said.
"Dinner is just an act, in order to hang out the real murderer to help us find the murder weapon, it is not surprising that Mr. Man, who is the user of the kitchen, leaves fingerprints everywhere. Yingli explained.
"The manager who was going to show us around the kitchen had to explain the threatening letter, so you took on the task. Mr. Mitsu, who has a personal kitchen key and is also the manager and user, is likely to take us to his personal cooking room and introduce us to Mr. Daisuke. Although it was the store manager who controlled the time of meeting on the surface, it was you, Mr. Nanfune, who didn't actually see Daisuke in the time. Kogoro stretched out his hand and pointed at Minamifune and said.
"It's just that I didn't expect that the murder weapon turned out to be a wooden rolling pin, and your strength is really not small. Kogoro said in a pitiful tone.
Nan Chuan pulled out one of the rows of rolling pins in the open drawer, on which was a bright red blood stain that had turned a little black.
"Sure enough, it's a detective. Nanchuan sighed and sat on the ground, with a rolling pin in front of him to support his hands.
"Actually, this plan is still very thorough, if I hadn't come to find this. You won't doubt me anymore. Nanchuan said, staring at the rolling pin in his hand.
"You're wrong, I'll doubt it. Kogoro denied Nanfune's claim.
"Why?".
"Because of the motivation, although the contact time is not long. But Mr. Man doesn't seem like he was forced to step down from the position of head chef, but he just wants to give you a chance to shine. And he's the manager of this store, and there's no need to kill Mr. Daisuke, at least not in the store, and I naturally thought of you after the exclusion was full. Kogoro replied.
"It's all the fault of the sous chef, it's clear that my cooking is so good!
"Mr. Nanchuane, please don't tarnish the profession of chef anymore. Xiao Jing said loudly at this time.
"What are you talking about!" Nanchuan stood up and looked at Xiao Jing fiercely, and Xiao Jing naturally stared back without fear.
"You put poppy powder in the cooking! how can the illusion of plundering by putting that kind of thing be compared to real cooking!"
"How do you know?" Nanchuan took a step back in embarrassment.
"My stomach only craves sweets!How can I crave non-sweet things?, so you must have something addictive in it!" Xiao Jing said proudly.
"Hey, hey..."Conan was speechless at Xiao Jing's bold words, you know that there are drugs in the food because of this? And it's such a small amount, you can't complain about this test method that breaks through the sky.
"That's why!" Minamifune waved the rolling pin in his hand unwillingly and rushed towards Kogoro, who was also ready to give him a strong back fall. But Sato rushed up first, kicked the rolling pin, and a grappling grabbed and pressed Minamifune to the ground.
"Conan. Xiao Jing looked at the south boat on the ground and looked at Conan.
"What's wrong?" Conan asked.
"I found that the women I know don't seem to have a low level of force, and even the garden has learned a few tricks from Xiaolan!" Xiao Jing said.
"Uh......." Conan could only be embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
The case ended with Kogoro's perfect reasoning, and Minamifune confessed. The threatening letter was sent by Daisuke's sous chef in the hope of reminding Minamifune to stop cooking with drugs, but Mr. Nanfune did not perceive Daisuke's kindness. In the end, Daisuke called Minamifune to the personal cooking room and told him that he had been persuaded many times, and he couldn't leave it alone and planned to call the police. In a hurry, Minamifune killed Daisuke So-Chef with a rolling pin on the side, and thought of the modus operandi this time, taking advantage of the time difference between the store manager and Kogoro to create an alibi.
"Mom, this, I want this!" Xiao Jing said, pointing to the cake on the counter in front of her.
"Hey, hey!" Yingli walked up to the store helplessly and went to the store to pay Xiaojing.
"Dad, you spoil her too much!" Xiaolan said angrily.
"Why don't you just eat a cake, today's case is thanks to Xiao Jing's clues! Of course, the biggest reason is because of me as a detective, hahaha. Kogoro started his own sign again.
"Hehe..."Conan looked at the cake handed over by Xiao Jing with a speechless expression. Does this count as remuneration?
Although Xiao Jing, who is accustomed to Kogoro's personality, feels that Conan and herself have played a certain role, she is convinced that Kogoro can definitely solve the case. Because of his mother's presence, Kogoro is generally a real detective with the addition of his family. Well, at least it won't be unreliable.
A few days later.
"Xiaolan, I heard that the head chef has changed all over the house, and the new head chef is called Nanaichao, who is super handsome! Let's go together after class! I heard that eating the food he made will become happy~!" said the garden, leaning over to Xiaolan's side.
"Uh..... You just want to see Mr. Nanai, but if you think about it, Mr. Nanai is indeed a very beautiful type. Xiaolan recalled.
"Have you already seen ????
"."That, hehe..." Xiaolan was confused.
"No, I'm going to see it too! You must accompany me later!".
"Hi hi. Xiaolan agreed as if giving up.
