Chapter 577: The Incident in the Cooking Class
April 4th, Saturday, after six o'clock in the evening, in the living room of Tomomi Kamisumi's house in Kamido-cho.
After everyone looked at the menu, Kamimori said: "Today we are going to make mushroom soup and duck with orange sauce. For dessert, we will use pears to make pudding."
At this time, Mao Li's voice came into the arena, "I want to eat ducks. To be honest, I like ducks very much."
"Yuko." Uemori Michimo frowned.
Komiyayama Yuko hastily pulled out the screen from the corner, and blocked it between the cooking counter and the table, blocking the sight of Mori, Conan, and Yamazaki.
Mei Daizi found a gemstone ring on Uemori's left hand, "Well, Mr. Uemori, the ring on your hand..."
"Oh, I won't directly touch the ingredients with my hands today." Michimo Uemori smiled, and then found that Hiroaki Nishitani also had a ring on his hand, "How many times do I have to say, don't wear rings on your fingers when cooking. "
"Yes, yes, I forgot to take it off." Nishitani Hiroaki quickly took off the ring and put it in his pocket.
Afterwards, Yoshitomo Uemori started cooking, but stopped halfway through, and asked Sonoko, Lan, Mei Daiko, Yashiro Kazue, Hiroaki Nishiya, and Kaoru Uemori to do the same, and she checked their dishes. homework.
Uemori Meizhi said to the garden: "Mushrooms should be cut evenly and sliced."
"Yes, teacher." Sonoko said.
Uemori Meizhi said to Lan: "Your chopping posture is very good. You should cook frequently at home."
"It's fine," Lan said.
Uemori Michitomo said to Mei Daizi: "Uh, you don't need to cut it so thin. You have been trained in Japanese cuisine. This is mushroom, not sashimi."
"Oh, I see." Mei Daizi said.
Uemori Michitomo said to Yashiro Kazue: "I said, why are you so clumsy, you haven't made any progress like before, you have to work hard."
"Yes." Yashiro Kazueda said.
Uemori Meizhi said to Uemori Kaoru: "Look at your beaten eggs, the egg whites and egg yolks are mixed together, we only need egg whites."
"I'm sorry, because I can only see with my right eye, and the sense of distance is a bit problematic." Kaoru Uemori said.
"Don't make excuses." Uemori Michitomo said, and then asked Komiyayama Yuko, "Where is the Geliyou cheese I asked you to prepare? Why didn't I see it?"
"I'm sorry, I'll go get it right away." Yuko Komiyayama left.
"Really, why are you three always like this?" Uemori Meizhi said, and then said to Nishitani Hiroaki, "You are still so well-behaved, it is enough to be a chef in a small restaurant, but it is still far from a high-end hotel. .”
"I'll work hard," Hiroaki Nishitani said.
Turning around, Uemori Michitomo returned to her position and continued to demonstrate the following steps.
On the other hand, Maori got impatient and became addicted to smoking, but found that he had to go through the cooking counter to go out.
Seeing this, Conan said: "Uncle, there is a door next to the bathroom at the back that should lead to the outside. I will take you there."
When Maori and Conan walked to the back door, the lights suddenly went out, and then Michimo Kamimori's voice came from the room, "Yuko, hurry up and go to the power distribution room to check the power switch." The scream of a man,
It sounded like Hiroaki Nishitani, so he hurried back.
On the other side, the living room.
After the lights went out, Uemori Michiko immediately asked Komiyayama Yuko to go to the power distribution room, and looking at the fire on the cooking table, Mei Daizi found Hiroaki Nishitani who was approaching Uemori Michiko, and suddenly waved behind Uemori Michi, although there was no Seeing Hiroaki Nishitani holding something in his hand, but it seemed that he was stabbing someone with something, so he threw the kitchen knife in his hand, and the handle of the knife hit Hiroaki Nishitani's hand, making Hiroaki Nishitani screamed immediately.
Uemori Michitomo asked in surprise: "Nishiya, why are you here?"
"I, that," Hiroaki Nishitani said, "I want to help Yuko, I pass by here." Then he went to chase Yuko Komiyayama.
Kaoru Uemori asked, "What was the sound just now?"
Yashiro Kazue said, "It looks like someone's sword fell off."
Yuanzi and Lan discovered Mei Daizi's movement of throwing the knife, and asked in small voices together in surprise, "Mei Daizi?"
"I think he is stabbing Teacher Mori with something," Mei Daizi said, "It's the handle of a knife, don't worry." Then she said to Yamazaki who came over, "Brother, it's true."
"I believe in you." Yamazaki said, and then walked towards Uemori Michimo.
At this time, Maori ran in, "Mr. Xigu, what happened just now?"
"No, nothing." Hiroaki Nishitani wanted to leave after saying that.
"Mr. Uemori, excuse me." Yamazaki said and squatted down.
"What are you looking for?" Uemori Michitomo said, and then found the kitchen knife on the ground, "Ah! Grab, grab him, he just took the knife behind me."
"What?" Mouri grabbed Nishitani Hiroaki's left arm, "I still want to run in front of me, Mori Kogoro."
"What!" Kamimori Meizhi and others were taken aback.
"Uncle finally reported his name." Conan muttered with a smile, and then ran to the power distribution room. If he committed a murder, the power outage would not be accidental.
"No, no, I don't have it, that knife doesn't belong to me." Nishitani Hiroaki shouted in panic.
"That, Uncle Mao Li," Mei Daizi said, "I threw that knife over there."
"It's just to save Sensei Uemori." Yamazaki touched something on the ground and wrapped it in a tissue.
At this time, the light came on, and Conan's voice came, "Uncle, there is something strange here in the power distribution room."
"Lan, inform Megure Police Department, Mei Daiko, come and see Mr. Nishitani." Mori said, "Yamazaki, follow me to the power distribution room." He took out his mobile phone and put it on the cooking table.
"Yes, Dad," Lan said.
"No problem." Mei Daizi smiled.
"I'll go with you." Sonoko said, but Uemori Michi, Yashiro Kazue, and Uemori Kaoru also followed.
A moment later, the power distribution room.
There was a lot of melted ice on the ground, and beside it was a thin rope tied with a fist-sized weight.
Yoshitomo Uemori asked, "What is this?"
Maori said: "This should be a timing device made by Mr. Nishitani that uses the melting of ice cubes to cut off the power supply."
"Nishiya?" Komiyayama Yuko was taken aback.
"So that's how it is," Yashiro Kazue said, "hang a line on the power switch, tie a heavy object to the other end of the line, and put ice cubes under the heavy object, so that the heavy object will fall under gravity after the ice cube melts. Falling under the action of the power switch is turned off."
Kaoru Uemori said: "The timing device, that is to say, Nishitani planned to attack you from the beginning."
"No, unforgivable." Uemori Michimo's face changed with anger.
Maori asked Yamazaki: "By the way, what did you find on the ground, is it a murder weapon?"
"A needle." Yamazaki handed over a tissue with a needle wrapped inside.
"Needle?" Mao Li took it in his hand and looked at it, "How does this kill people?"
Yamazaki said: "There are many ways, but it is impossible to know whether Mr. Nishitani was going to kill him at that time."
Yashiro Kazue said, "That's right, holding a needle in your hand doesn't mean anything."
Uemori Meizhi said: "I forgot, you also play needlework."
Kaoru Uemori said: "Even so, Mom, you can't just let him go so cheaply."
"That's right." Michimo Uemori asked, "Detective Maori, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Well," Maori said after thinking for a while, "if he has a motive to kill, it can be said that he wants to kill you."
"The motive for the murder?" Uemori Meizhi said, "Let me think about it."
A moment later, the living room.
Sonoko told about the blackout device he saw, and Kochi told Mei Daizi and Lan.
Yoshitomo Uemori asked Nishitani Hiroaki, "Why did you kill me?"
"Kill you? I don't understand what you are talking about, teacher." Xi Guhong said, "If someone here is going to kill you, it's Miss Hezhi and Miss Xun. One is your rival in love for decades, teacher, and the other is Suffering from your domestic violence, that eye should have been beaten by your son."
"What nonsense are you talking about," Yashiro Kazede said, "Since Uemori has chosen her, of course I can only respect his choice."
"Don't talk about us," Kaoru Uemori said, "It was you who appeared beside my mother at that time."
"That's right, so you are the only suspect." Maori said, and then asked, "Mr. Nishitani, did you install the blackout device in the power distribution room?"
"I don't even know what you are talking about." Hiroaki Nishitani said.
Uemori asked: "Is it because of that contract that you want to kill me?"
Seeing that Hiroaki Nishitani's face changed, and that of Yuko Komiyayama's also changed, Mori asked curiously, "What contract?"
"What contract? Isn't it the debt contract she used to control her disciples?" Hiroaki Nishitani said, "Detective Maori, the tuition fee here is only 10,000 yen, which was raised after she became famous. How can she get her current achievements?"
"In there?" Molly asked.
Hiroaki Nishitani asked Uemori: "Did you tell Detective Maori yourself, or did I tell it for you?"
"There's nothing you can't say." Yoshitomo Uemori said, "I took the money fair and square."
"What money?" Yuanzi asked in surprise.
"My mother said that there are deceptive things in it, so it should be referring to this." Mei Daizi said, "I also asked my brother to bring a lot of cash."
"No way?" Lan said, "I think Teacher Sen teaches very well."
"When the bill is in front of you, you won't say that." Nishitani Hiroaki said, "In addition to the tuition fee for each class, there are also material fees, equipment rental fees, etc."
"It's normal." Yashiro Kazuede said, "When I make clothes, the manual cost and the material cost are calculated separately."
Yuanzi said, "Yes, the material cost should be paid by ourselves."
"At most, I didn't make it clear at the beginning." Mei Daizi said.
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Lan asked.
"The problem is that those materials are all imported from foreign countries, and everything is very expensive." Hiroaki Nishitani said, "Like what you used tonight, each person will charge 30,000 yen, which is still cheap."
"Is it expensive?" Mei Daizi and Yuanzi asked Lan.
"Of course." Lan said, "If I go to the supermarket to buy materials and make it at home, 3,000 yen will be enough."
Uemori Meizhi said: "My ingredients are not comparable to those in the supermarket."
"That's it. If that person has no talent and no money, she will teach that person cheap lessons, and then tell him that he has no future in this industry, and let them work to pay back the money. If that person is rich, then It’s just a fee. But if that person is talented but has no money, she will take expensive lessons for him, and then use debt to tie them around and make a lot of money for her.” Hiroaki Nishitani said, “Yuko and I are In this way, she carried a high debt that was not cleared, and was controlled by her."
"So that's how it is." Yashiro Kazuede said, "I said, why did Yuko keep silent about the idea being taken away?"
"The money is my investment in you and your training fee," Uemori said, "As for Yuko's idea, I bought it with money." Then he asked, "Don't you think so, Yuko? "
"Yes." Yuko Komiyayama bowed his head and said, "The teacher reduced my debts a lot."
"So that's your motive." Maori said to Hiroaki Nishitani.
At this time, the Mumu Police Department led the team.
Seeing Maori, the Mumu Police Department raised its triangular eyes, "You guy, what happened to you again?" Then he looked around and asked, "Hey, where is the body?"
"How can there be any remains? This is how it happened." Mao Li laughed and told what happened.
"Ah? So, you asked me to come here because of this sewing needle," Mumu Police Department held the needle and asked angrily, "What name do you want me to arrest this Mr. Nishitani, attempted murder? "
Maori said: "Mr. Nishitani just said that that debt is his motive for killing..."
"Wait, wait," Nishitani Hiroaki said, "I never said anything about the motive for killing."
"That's true." Yashiro Kazueda said.
The Mumu Police Department asked: "So, Mei Daizi, did you really see that Mr. Nishitani wanted to stab Ms. Uemori with this needle?"
"Well, I only saw Mr. Nishitani stretching out his hand behind Mr. Uemori, as if he was stabbing with something, but there was a power outage at the time, so I didn't see clearly what he was holding." Mei Daizi said.
Nishitani Hiroaki said: "I was just reaching out to move my arm, and I didn't hold anything at all."
The Mumu Police Department said: "Then how do you explain this sewing needle, if it has your fingerprints on it..."
"Of course there are my fingerprints," Hiroaki Nishitani said, "It may have been accidentally dropped by me while passing by."
"That makes sense." Megure Police Department said, and then asked, "Ms. Uemori, what else do you have to say, do you think Mr. Nishitani is going to kill you?"
Uemori Meizhi said: "I think so. Nishitani owes me a lot of debts. If he wants to start his own business, he must pay off all these debts first. I think he wants to kill me because of this."
"If you say that, the motivation is very sufficient." Megure Police Department said, and then asked, "Mr. Nishitani, do you have anything to say?"
Nishitani Hiroaki said: "I just want to say, I didn't..."
Yamazaki persuaded: "Mr. Nishitani, your current charge is attempted murder, and you have not caused any substantial harm to Ms. Uemori. If you confess and surrender..."
"Here," Hiroshi Nishitani sighed after being silent for a while, "yes, I want to kill Meizhi Mori."
Meguro Police Department asked: "So, what is the motive?"
"Motivation," Nishitani Hiroaki sighed, "motivation, it can be said to be despair."
"Desperate?" Meguro Police Department asked.
Nishitani Hiroaki said: "Speaking of which, it is also related to that debt. I have been collecting evidence of Uemori's fraud..."
"Fraud?" Mori asked, "You mean Ms. Uemori used inferior ingredients as good ones?"
"How is this possible?" Uemori Michimo shouted, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
The Mumu Police Department asked, "Mr. Nishitani?"
"When I went to France for further study last month, I checked the company supplying here by the way, but it really exists and it seems to be a big company." Nishitani Hiroaki said.
"So that's how it is," Maori said, "You originally thought that Ms. Uemori was cheating on the price of ingredients, and you had always hoped to expose her behavior and get rid of the debt, but now you find that she is not cheating on the price of ingredients, so you think The debt on my body has created despair, and I want to kill Ms. Uemori to get out of her hands."
"It's not bad at all." Hiroaki Nishitani said, and then glanced at Yuko Komiyayama, "Actually, also, I have been..."
"Stop talking," Yuko Komiyayama said, "I am very aware of your affection for me, but I don't want you to do this kind of thing for me at all. I believe that one day I will be able to walk out in a fair manner. "
"Really?" Nishitani Hiroaki laughed self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I have no hope." Then he said to Megure Police Department, "Let's go."
Nishitani Hiroaki was taken away by the Megure Police Department, and the cooking class was over.
Uemori Meizhi asked the three of Yuanzi: "How about it, do you still want to take classes with me?"
"I'm here to make up the numbers." Mei Daizi said.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet," Uemori Michi said, "Thank you just now."
"It's okay." Mei Daizi smiled.
"Well," Lan looked at Mao Li, seeing him shaking his head, he could only say, "I don't think I can come."
"To be honest," Uemori Michimo said with a smile, "I was also relieved after hearing what you said." Then he asked Sonoko, "What about you, Miss Sonoko?"
"Me, this..." Sonoko hesitated.
Yamazaki said with a smile: "I think you can invite Miss Yuko to be a cook at your house, and teach you cooking skills by the way, when you finish learning, when will you let her go."
"That's a good idea." Mei Daizi smiled, "To save you from dragging us down."
Sonoko thought for a while and said, "That's fine, I just don't know if Miss Yuko can pass my mother's test."
"I'm very assured of Yuko's talent," Uemori Michimo asked with a smile, "but the cost..."
"There is absolutely no problem with the cost." Sonoko smiled, "Then I will send a car to pick up Miss Yuko tomorrow."
"Okay," Uemori Meizhi asked, "by the way, can I ask, your residence is..."
"The Suzuki Foundation, the Suzuki family." Sonoko smiled.
Michimo Uemori and the others were taken aback, and Yuko Komiyayama smiled in surprise: "Thank you Miss Sonoko, I will definitely do my best tomorrow."
Yamazaki said: "That's it, the time is almost up, let's go."...
On the way, in Yuanzi's car.
Lan said, "I never thought there would be such a thing in the cooking classroom."
"It's normal, isn't there still a share from the club in the artist's salary?" Yuanzi asked back.
"That's right," Lan said.
"Then, what mother said is the way to deceive people is shoddy fraud." Mei Daizi said, "Because I will eat it after I make it, and then I can choose the price at any time."
"Yeah, that's really killing people." Lan said.
"By the way, you two," Sonoko asked, "Now what are you laughing at?"
"Pfft!" Lan and Mei Daizi laughed again.
Yuanzi said anxiously, "What are you laughing at? Don't say I'm angry."
"Think about Mr. Uemori's figure." Lan said with a smile.
Mei Daizi smiled and said, "If you become like that after learning cooking..."
"Huh?" Sonoko's face completely darkened.
"Pfft!" Mao Li and Conan covered their stomachs with laughter as they thought of Sonoko's appearance of being too fat to walk.
Yamazaki said with a smile: "So I invited Miss Yuko, I hope you will not be affected."
"You guys," Sonoko yelled, "I'll let you walk back if you laugh again."...
