Hmm... But it seems that Belmode is unwilling to reveal Bourbon's information to me.
Are you worried that I will take the opportunity to mention to the other party the bug installed in the Maori Detective Agency?
That's fine...she has this concern, so naturally she won't reveal my affairs to Bourbon.
Thinking room.
A siren sounded from Ye Gengyi's hidden earphones.
...It was the 'disposable bug' I left in front of the hotel's main entrance. It came very quickly.
Another 5 or 6 minutes passed.
Ayanokouji Fumimaro from the Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters Investigation Section 1 arrived with a team.
"Huh? It's a squirrel..." Belmode exclaimed softly, curiously looking at the cute creature standing on the shoulder of the police officer.
It doesn't matter if girls can't resist those furry animals. Is it appropriate for you at your age?
After Ye Geng cursed, he said:
"Chipmunks are also called striped squirrels. They taste similar to rabbit meat. They are fried in a pan until golden brown, and then the meat is stewed in a pot with onions, ginger, garlic, wine and stock. Of course, the hair can also be removed directly. , slightly pickled and then roasted over charcoal fire, because squirrels mainly eat walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds, so the roasted meat should still have a nutty aroma."
"???"
Belmode could barely control her emotions. She paused and seemed to take a few deep breaths before speaking:
"You did it on purpose, right?"
"Really? But you just swallowed your saliva." Ye Gengyi said.
"I……"
Belmod almost choked at these words, so he had no choice but to look away from Ye Gengyi and warned himself in his heart.
Calm down, calm down...the police and Bourbon are here, don't show any flaws.
…
the other side.
The little squirrel seemed to sense someone's bad taste. Suddenly it froze for a moment, then jumped along Ayanokouji Fumimaro's shoulders and slipped into the pocket of his suit.
"Maru, what's wrong with you?"
Ayanokouji Fumimaro hadn't had time to check on his 'good friend'.
On the side, the forensic officer responsible for inspecting the body came over and reported:
"Police department, the deceased was poisoned by potassium cyanate..."
"Potassium cyanate?"
Ayanokouji Fumimaro had no choice but to temporarily stop reaching for his pocket, glanced at the overturned goblet on the table, and asked:
"Is it in the red wine?"
"right."
The forensic officer nodded and added: "We are conducting further testing on the table and other places in the restaurant."
"knew."
Ayanokouji Fumimaro responded and came to the three cadres attending the meeting: Matekanuki, Tamura, and Xieyu:
"I heard that the deceased ate at the table with you and then suddenly died of poison, right?"
After confirming that the three of them nodded or whispered "yes", Ayanokouji Fumimaro continued:
"Then please go to the private room outside and cooperate with the body search. I will ask some questions later. Just answer them truthfully."
So rude?
If it were Memu Thirteen, he would have hesitated to ask the three of them at first if they noticed any suspicious people approaching or did anything strange while they were eating.
Ye Gengyi was a little surprised by his resolute attitude, but he soon figured out the key.
Well... when the forensic officer reported just now, he only mentioned that the deceased had taken potassium cyanate, but did not mention the age and name of the other party. In other words, Ayanokouji Fumimaro already knew the identities of these people.
Of course, he, who is called a noble police officer, also has this confidence.
The three people's questioning lasted about half an hour.
During this period, Ye Gengyi and Belmode had to wait with the hundreds of Yakuza members in the hall.
Because of the topic of boiled squirrel and roasted squirrel, neither of them took the initiative to talk.
Until the restaurant door was pushed open again.
Several uniformed police officers came to the two of them and the first few cadres who gathered at the long table to drink:
"Sorry, I need to check your belongings now. Please follow us in an orderly manner."
This is because potassium cyanate was not found on those three people...
As soon as Ye Geng understood, he stood up and grabbed Belmod's arm, pointed at his throat and showed an embarrassed smile.
"Sir, you..." The police officer was a little confused.
Feeling the strength on his arm, Belmod naturally knew that Ye Gengyi was wary of him, contacting Bourbon when men and women were searched separately, or leaving him alone, so he had no choice but to say:
"Oh, his throat is inflamed and he can't speak. We are boyfriend and girlfriend. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, can we check him in the same room?"
"All right."
The police officer looked at the huge crowd in the room and thought that if the suspected poison containers were still not found on these people, they might have to continue the inspection, so he simply did not persist.
After directly greeting a female police officer, several people came to the private room that was already under police control.
This battle is about to catch up with Nakamori Ginzo's capture of his good son-in-law...
When Ye Geng saw this, he temporarily suppressed the idea of escaping directly.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence that he can escape the police's control. The main reason is that Bourbon, who is secretly watching the development of the situation, is also in this hotel, and he is very likely to be the murderer of Mrs. Busujima.
If he and Belmode disappear, they will definitely attract the attention of the police.
Suddenly, the two cadres who were poisoned by gas were found. Not to mention bourbon, even vodka, they could figure out that the two people who came to the venue today were disguised.
"..."
A few minutes later.
I don’t know whether it was because Belmod really didn’t have a gun, or whether the policewoman didn’t search too seriously. Naturally, the search results of the two men did not find any suspicious items, including poisons.
Then, led by the police officer, they came to the next door to the private room together.
After entering the house, Ye Gengyi quickly took a look at the surrounding environment.
Judging from the layout and decoration, this room is obviously much larger than the previous one.
The floors were swept spotlessly clean.
There are also a variety of dazzling but unobtrusive picture frames and reliefs hanging on the three walls. There are also several pieces of glazed porcelain placed on the simple mahogany square table near the side of the wooden door.
Unfortunately, the colored crystal chandelier in the shape of violet petals on the ceiling corresponding to the dining table in the center of the room was too low. In addition, the light was not bright enough to illuminate the entire room when it was turned on. The police officer responsible for taking notes was It looks like a colorful monster.
Ayanokouji Fumimaro was holding a transcript, standing in front of the window and reading through the natural light outside.
Hearing the movement at the door, he looked up and was slightly startled when he saw two people coming in. He frowned and said to the police officer:
"what happened?"
The police officer hurriedly said this. After learning that Ye Gengyi's throat was inflamed and unable to speak, he nodded slightly, pointed to the chair in front of the dining table, and said:
"Please sit down!"
