No strange substances.

This was Tang Ze's judgment after checking the smell of the back kitchen.

Although the whole room in the back kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of cakes, it was because of this that it was convenient for Tang Ze to investigate.

After all, he only needs to filter out other pungent smells. In this environment, the strange smell will be more prominent, just like the feeling of a drop of ink in clear water.

Obviously, Tang Ze didn't smell all kinds of pungent poisonous smells, including gunpowder and other items with lethal properties.

In addition to the ingredients in the room, there are some dessert seasonings, and the whole room is a simple kitchen.

After confirming these, Tang Ze naturally won't be too obsessed with learning about cakes.

After bidding farewell to Akiko Sato and Mika Mamuro, who were busy master and apprentice, Tang Ze followed Saotome Saomi and left the kitchen.

"Mr. Tang Ze... If I remember correctly, you seem to be the criminal, right?"

On the way out of the back kitchen, Saotome Saomi took the initiative to find a topic: "I heard about the engagement of Miss Suzuki, but I didn't expect to see you here today."

"Ah, it's me."

Tang Ze smiled and said: "Mr. Saotome is a pastry critic, so she must have a lot of research on desserts. Can you recommend me some shops with good desserts and good environment?"

"Then you are asking the right person." Saotome Saomi covered her mouth and smiled charmingly: "I can't help you in other aspects, but I am a professional if you want to ask this.

Of course, no one can compare to Mika-chan, that new cake is really amazing..."

"boom!"

Speaking of his professional field, Saotome Saomi became more and more excited as he talked, but just as he was happily describing Mamuro Mika's new work, there was a loud noise behind him, and he was shocked and sat on the ground directly.

Tang Ze was also surprised by the sudden explosion, he turned his head to look at the back kitchen, his face was full of disbelief.

He had clearly confirmed with his super sense of smell before that there were no dangerous explosives in the back kitchen, otherwise he would not have left the back kitchen with such peace of mind.

But the reality seemed to slap him in the face. As soon as he left the front foot and thought that there was no danger in the back kitchen, the back kitchen exploded directly.

But now is not the time to be in a daze, Sato Akiko and Mamuro Mika are still in the kitchen, he needs to find a way to save people.

"You stay here. If Ayako comes, tell her I'm fine." Tang Ze looked at Saotome Saomi who was sitting on the ground in shock, and ran towards the kitchen with a hasty confession.

"It's okay!"

Before Tang Ze ran to the door, he saw Zuo Teng Akiko stumbling out of the kitchen.

Tang Ze quickly went to help the other party, but Akiko Zuoto leaned on the wall and said weakly: "I... I'm fine... Hurry up and save Meijia..."

Tang Ze roughly checked the other party's injuries, and found that the most serious one was the burning of his left hand, so he asked her to leave alone and enter the room.

And the next moment, he saw Mamuro Mika's body lying quietly near the gate.

Yes, with just one glance at Tang Ze, he had already judged that the other party was dead, and he was already a corpse at this moment.

If you see Mika Mamuro's condition at the moment, even if you don't have any medical knowledge, you will probably come to the judgment that this person is hopeless in an instant.

At this moment, she has completely lost her previous youthful and beautiful appearance, and her entire face has completely turned black, and parts of her face have been carbonized.

Apparently a huge explosion, directly scorching her skin.

Not only her face, but her entire body was like this. She was completely silent.

After confirming that Mamuro Mika had no vital signs, Tang Ze immediately left the back kitchen to open the fire-fighting equipment outside the corridor, and the security personnel who rushed over took the fire-fighting equipment and entered again to put out the fire.

Although the entire kitchen was blown into darkness, but because there were very few things that could burn in the house, the fire was not big.

Under the attack of the sea of ​​people, the fire in the kitchen was quickly extinguished.

"It's okay."

Seeing Tang Ze come out, Ayako threw herself into Tang Ze's arms: "Just now when I heard that the back kitchen exploded, my heart almost jumped out.

When I rushed over, Mr. Saotome said you were fine, but I didn’t see you again.”

"Fortunately, there was an explosion just as our front feet left." Tang Ze patted Ayako's back and comforted him, "It's all right, I'm fine, aren't I?"

But no matter what, the frightened Ayako refused to let go of Tang Ze's hand.

Fortunately, what he could do at this moment has been done. After asking Akiko Zuoto to command the security personnel, Tang Ze asked them to evacuate the crowd and wait for the police to arrive.

The explosion also caused casualties, and the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched the police quickly.

Soon Tang Ze saw Police Officer Megure bringing Takagi and Sato Miwako to the scene, but he didn't see Naoki Ueijing.

Although the other party hasn't gone to search the fourth department yet, he is already familiar with the work. Today, he was called by the fourth department to help, so he couldn't follow him to the scene.

The forensic personnel led by Hiroshi Saito followed closely behind. Because the workload of the explosion must have been heavy, Hiroshi Saito also brought a lot of manpower this time.

"It's a typical symptom of being killed by the bombing." Hiroshi Saito took a rough look at the corpse and explained: "Let's transport it back first, Doctor Aso should be waiting there."

Because the crime scene happened not long ago, and the cause of death of the corpse was obvious, so when Tang Zhe contacted them on the phone, he didn't ask Ma Sheng to accompany the team, but asked him to prepare for the autopsy.

Tang Ze first appeased Ayako after the arrival of the large army, and then came to the scene of the explosion to join the crowd.

"Anyway, let's start the investigation first." Tang Ze let the person who carried the corpse pass, and began to look at the entire back kitchen.

Because he was busy saving people and extinguishing the fire before, he didn't carefully look at the layout of the entire back kitchen. Now he naturally wants to take a closer look and engrave the scene of the crime into his mind.

Compared with the kitchens in ordinary people's homes, the kitchen area of ​​this professionally made cake dessert is obviously much larger.

The whole room is about 20 square meters, and the whole is square. The door is in the lower left corner, and the upper left corner is the oven.

As for the convenient upper right and lower right, various tools are placed, and in the middle of the room is a large chopping table, which is convenient for preparations such as kneading noodles and mounting flowers.

The oven in the upper left corner was the first place that caught Tang Ze's attention.

Because judging from the degree of damage, this place seemed to be the explosion point. Tang Ze saw that the bricks on the nearby wall were blown out.

"Judging from the splashing direction of the tile fragments, the air wave of the explosion is heading in the direction of the door."

After approaching the oven, Hiroshi Saito looked at the already dark and disfigured large oven and judged: "This oven should be the fire point, that's right."

"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 the surface and said: "Generally speaking, this kind of tray needs to be exposed to a high temperature environment of more than 700 degrees for more than 14 hours to become like this.

But criminal Tang Ze, you put out the fire soon, right? "

"You mean to say that there was a concentrated burst of firepower in a short period of time that caused the tray to become like this?" Tang Ze suddenly asked.

"It looks like a gas explosion accident." Takagi walked over and looked at the oven and said.

"Don't rush to make a decision, let's talk after the investigation."

Tang Ze patted Takagi's shoulder, but looked at the dark wall on the right.

On that pitch-black wall, there was an obvious rectangular mark that was much whiter than the surrounding area.

Thinking of the situation that Ayako introduced when attending the banquet, Tang Ze estimated the size of the rectangular mark on the wall, and found that the plaque of the highest domestic dessert award won by Akiko Sato seemed to be exactly the same size as it.

Thinking of this, Tang Ze immediately became suspicious of Zuo Teng Akiko who survived the explosion.

First of all, after this case happened, Tang Ze had no idea that the case was an accident.

At least the cases that happened around him can basically say goodbye to accidents.

In this case, the surviving Akiko Sato survived with the prize she cherished.

In this situation, Tang Ze had to doubt the other party.

After all, when many criminals committed crimes in the past, they would show their flaws because they were reluctant to part with their precious things. Tang Ze had to suspect that the other party was the same.

Of course, conjectures are just conjectures, Tang Ze still needs facts to verify.

Because Zuo Teng Akiko had already been sent to the hospital by ambulance to deal with her injuries, Tang Ze was not afraid to startle the snake.

After seeing the situation in the entire kitchen, Tang Ze walked out of the crime scene and joined Ayako.

"By the way, let me ask you something. Do you know that the plaque for Akiko Sato's award will be taken out at the banquet every year and hung in the banquet hall outside?" Tang Ze asked while holding Ayako's hand as he walked out.

"I didn't seem to have it last year..." Ayako recalled, "But I didn't know much about it before that. I didn't participate in such banquets when I was in school..."

"Yes, then let's ask someone else."

Tang Ze nodded and said, "Just now there was a pastry critic named Saotome, who looks like someone who will attend banquets every year, go ask him."

"It's him."

Ayako suddenly said after hearing the words: "If it was him, he should know. After all, he and Akiko Zuoto have been friends for many years, and they will come to participate every year."

The two walked towards the hall while talking.

Because of the explosion, many guests were in a hurry to leave, because they did not indicate their connection with the explosion, so after receiving simple questioning and registration, a group of guests left the place of nonsense.

Fortunately, Tang Ze still saw that Saotome hadn't left, relying on him talking to a man outside the banquet hall.

Because the two did not conceal the reason for the content, Tang Zhe easily heard the content of the conversation between the two.

"Kobin-chan, please, think of a way."

Not far away, Saotome still cried and cried to the other party in that sissy tone: "No matter what, you must find a way to publish a book for me!"

"It really doesn't work!"

The man who was called Kobayashi by Saotome said impatiently, "Miss Mamuro is dead now, how can I publish a book for you!"

"I'll figure it out." Saotome Saomi glared at the orchid finger, "If you can't publish a book, I won't forgive you."

Seeing Ayako and Karasawa walking towards this side, Saotome Saomi hastily ended the topic.

"Are you interrupting the conversation between the two? I want to ask, I don't know about Ms. Akiko Sato's award."

Tang Ze pointed to the award plaque on the sidelines and said, "This is the highest award in all of Neon."

"Yes, it's Sato-sensei's baby." Saotome Saomi wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Of course, it's nothing compared to Mika-chan."

"Is that so?" Tang Ze nodded and said, "There is something I want to ask you. I wonder if this award is given out at this time every year?"

"No..."

Saotome Saomi thought for a while and heard the words: "This is the first time I see this award, it seems to have been kept in the back kitchen before...

Maybe it's because Mika-chan won the award this year, and Mr. Sato is not far behind.

But even if this award is given out, it is just Akiko Sato's struggle as a teacher. Everyone knows that Mika-chan as an apprentice has surpassed her as a teacher. "

"Is that so, very useful, thank you."

After thanking Tang Ze, he looked at Ayako and said, "Next, I plan to visit Master Zuo Teng in the hospital, so you should go back first."

"Okay, I understand. Be careful on the road." Ayako nodded and took the car keys from Tang Ze's hand and left the banquet.

As for Tang Ze, he called Takagi to go to the hospital with him to ask Akiko Zuoto about the scene when he exploded.

Although she was at the scene of the explosion, Akiko Sato was not seriously injured.

What I have to say is that the entire back of my left hand was burned and is currently wrapped in gauze.

By the time Tang Ze and others arrived at the hospital~lightnovelpub.net~ Zuo Teng Akiko had finished treating the wounds on her body and was resting in the hospital ward for observation.

If there are no serious symptoms after that, you can leave the hospital tomorrow.

After seeing Tang Ze, Zuo Teng Akiko expressed gratitude on his face, and thanked him for saving his life: "Criminal Tang Ze, thank you for your help before."

"This is what I should do."

Tang Ze Tang Ze greeted the other party first, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but if you feel that you are in a good state, can you answer a few questions for us?"

"Of course, if you have anything to ask, just ask, I will fully cooperate." Zuo Teng Akiko said with a serious expression.

"Then let's cut the long story short and get straight to the point."

Tang Ze took out the kitchen floor plan he had drawn and got straight to the point, "I wonder if you could tell me where the two of you were at the time of the explosion?"
