Chapter 538: Flower arrangement

　　 Friday, January 16, outside the Marina Hotel, Minato.
　　 In the evening, a lot of reporters gathered here, taking pictures of the famous cars parked at the entrance of the hotel and the people coming down inside.
　　 After six o'clock in the evening, Maori brought Lan and Conan over from the station. Seeing this, he asked them to wait outside and went in alone.
　　 Lan looked at the people who entered, and said excitedly: "It's great, all the artists and athletes here are celebrities."
　　 Conan raised his triangular eyes and muttered, "Is this an art award so great?"
　　兰 said: "Ms. Okano is very good. When arranging flowers, the flowers that are still in bud, will suddenly bloom in an instant, just like magic."
　　 At this time, Maori came out from the side door of the hotel, "Who do you think of me, tell you to let go and hear if I was invited, but I dare to arrest me when I was invited here."
　　 The two waiters who pushed out Maori let go of Maori, and waiter A said, "Sorry, guests who are not on the list can't enter today."
　　 Mori cried, "You guys, don't you even recognize my detective Kogoro Mori?"
　　 Waiter B said, "I'm really very sorry."
　　 A reporter said: "It's a Maori detective." Then he immediately notified it with a mobile phone that a Maori detective had appeared, and there might be an incident.
　　 There are many other reporters doing the same thing with him, and then they take pictures of Maori.
　　At this time, a woman came out from the hotel and said, "I am Tsui Ozaki, and this gentleman is the guest I invited."
　　 "I heard it," Mouri said triumphantly, "My name is detective Kogoro Mouri, but because someone premeditated murder, I was willing to move here."
　　 "Premeditated murder?" Upon hearing this, the reporters immediately ran towards Maori.
　　 "Mori detective," Ozaki Tsui said helplessly, "you come in with me."
　　 "Sorry, sorry." Maori smiled.
　　 Entering the hotel, Maori remembered that Lan and Conan were still outside, so he told Ozaki Tsui, who arranged for someone to pick them up from the other side door. ...
　　Guest place.
　　Ozaki Sui hung three pink flowers on each of the three Mori's chests, and said, "Please come with me."
　　 After a while, Okano Toshika prepared the room.
　　Ozaki Tsui introduced Mori to Tosuke Okano who was putting on makeup.
　　 "Sorry, Detective Maori, I'm busy now, so Acui will entertain you." Okano Toshika said.
After 　　 sat down, Ozaki Tsui said, "Mori detective, this is the threatening letter we received a few days ago." He said and handed a piece of paper.
　　 "The flower of death will bloom at the seaside hotel." Maori said, looking at the threatening letter, "These characters are cut and glued from other places. There is no way to investigate." Then he asked, "Are you calling the police?"
　　Ozaki Tsui said, "No, the teacher thinks it's just a prank."
　　 Okano Toshika said: "I think 80% of it is done by people who are jealous of my awards, those who are petty, I will not let them ruin my performance."
　　At this time, a middle-aged man came in, "I have heard that you have received a boring threatening letter, but today's banquet is scheduled, so it shouldn't be changed because of this."
"Don't worry, this is a banquet for me, everything will go according to plan." Okano Rika stood up and said, "You should know this Maori detective, an expert in dealing with these kinds of problems." Then he spoke to Maori. Introduced, "This is Manager Shiraki, the director of the hotel."
　　 Maori said, "Hello."
　　 Conan discovered that the flowers on Manager Shiraki’s chest were in bud, which was different from the blooming flowers they wore.
"I've heard of you. Although you can resolve the incident, you often make a mess of your client's affairs." Manager Shiraki said, "I hope you are not like this this time." Then he said to Okano Toshika, "It's even this time. Now, next time there will be such a thing, I hope you will tell me earlier. You must remember that you represent not only yourself, but also our Baimu Group."
　　 "Yes, I see." Okano Toshika lowered her head and said.
　　 "Then move quickly, some guests need you to come forward to say hello." Manager Shiraki said, and then left.
　　 "Damn it." Okano Toshika kicked the chair in front of him, "It's just a manager, what's so great."
　　 "Teacher." Ozaki Tsui said worriedly, and then stepped forward and raised the chair.
"I'm nothing," Okano Rika cleared up his mind, "As long as after tonight, someone will naturally ask me to be a teacher, then I will be able to get rid of the Shiraki Group and this guy. I feel sick when I see his face." Sit down and continue makeup.
　　 Lan changed the subject, pointed to a pot of flowers on the table and asked: "Miss Cui, this pot of flowers is so beautiful, but what is that bottle like a fire extinguisher?"
　　 "That's liquid nitrogen." Ozaki Tsui said.
　　 Conan asked: "It's the kind of thing that can freeze objects in an instant?"
　　 "Yes, you know," Ozaki Tsui said, "but it's not that powerful."
　　 "This is the secret of Miss Lixiang's flower arrangement, right?" Conan asked.
　　 "So that's it, use temperature." Lan laughed, and then asked, "Did Miss Lixiang think of this? She is really amazing."
　　 "Yes," Ozaki Tsui nodded, and then whispered, "To be precise, it was developed by the teacher."
　　 Lan asked in a low voice, "By the way, why is there no makeup artist?"
　　 "The teacher insisted on applying makeup by himself." Ozaki Tsui smiled.
　　 At this time, Okano Toshika stood up, "Okay, let's go out." Then he said to Mori, "Detective Mori, I beg you this time."
　　 "No problem, leave it to me." Maori smiled. ...
　　 Around seven o'clock in the evening, in the lobby.
　　 Maori took Lan and Conan around for more than half an hour, but found no suspicious characters.
　　 At this time, waiter C came over in a panic, "Are you a Maori detective? Can you come with me?"
　　 "Okay," Maori said.
　　 After a while, Shiraki manager's lounge outside.
Waiter C said: "Because the time is almost up, I came to call for Manager Shiraki, but no one responded. Then I tried to push the door, but the door opened, and then I saw Manager Shiraki lying on the sofa in a strange way. , And then I will go to you."
　　 "Strange look?" Maori asked.
　　 "You are optimistic." Waiter C pushed open the door.
　　 Manager Shiraki lay on his back on the sofa, his tie wrapped around his neck like a rope.
　　 "This is," Maori quickly stepped forward and inspected Manager Shiraki's neck, and said in surprise, "There is no heartbeat, he is dead."
　　 "Fruit, sure enough." Waiter C was about to cry. ...
　　 A few minutes later, the Mumu Police Department broke through the reporter's blockade and entered the hotel and came to the scene.
　　 After the police department ordered the Ministry to go down and start work, he asked Maori angrily: "Hey, Maori, why are you here?"
　　 "This," Maori Gan smiled, "Yes, there is a threatening letter."
　　 "Asshole!" Megome police department shouted, "Why don't you call the police for this kind of thing."
　　 "I didn't let the police call the police." Okano Toshika said, "I thought it was just a prank, to spoil my banquet."
　　 "This is Ms. Okano Toshika, a flower arranging artist, and the threatening letter was sent to her," said Mori.
　　Momemo Police Department asked: "Then, Miss Lixiang, can you please cancel this banquet immediately?"
　　 Okano Toshika said: "This is impossible, this banquet is very important to me."
　　Momemo Police Department said: "Listen to me, the murderer is still in this venue, and he will attack the next target at any time."
"Of course I know this, but the person who will kill Manager Shiraki must be because of some commercial dispute. This has nothing to do with me as an artist, so no matter who died, I will not cancel this banquet." Okano Toshika Said, and then saluted, "I'm going back to apply makeup, I'm lost."
　　 Mumu Police Department asked: "Mori, Miss Lixiang?"
　　 Maori said, "I have seen this, Miss Lixiang has been meeting guests in the lobby."
　　 At this time, the forensic personnel came to report, "The deceased was strangled to death by a necktie after being unconscious, and there is a strange place."
　　 "What?" Megome police department asked.
　　The forensic officer said: "There was a drug reaction on the flower on the chest of the deceased."
"What?" Maori was taken aback, "You mean that the drug was applied to the flower." Then he asked, "But the flower is still good, no petals are broken, it's not like it was covered on his face. Looks like, could he just sniff it by himself?"
　　The forensic officer said: "This is not clear."
　　 Conan thought in his heart, wait a minute, I remember when I saw Manager Shiraki just now, the flower on his chest was not blooming, but it is now open. With that said, thinking of this, Conan turned around and ran away.
　　 After a while, Okano Toshika prepared the room.
　　 Conan found that there was no one inside, and the door was not locked, so he pushed the door and went in. After searching, he found an incubator containing dry ice with a box in it and a few pieces of ice in it.
　　 Conan slapped the smell with his hand, and found a few slices of frozen medicine and a few slices of frozen hydrocyanide.
Sure enough, Conan thought, put the frozen medicine in the unopened flowers. While the flowers bloom at a higher room temperature, the frozen medicine will also melt and vaporize quickly, which will allow The victim was inhaled. This is Miss Lixiang's thing. The only one who can control the spending time is Miss Lixiang. Wait a minute, Miss Lixiang has been meeting guests in the lobby. How did she commit the crime?
　　 At this time, the broadcast in the hall rang, and the banquet began. First of all, the winner of the World Art Award, the flower arranging artist Toshika Okano, performed a live performance.
　　 Not good, the next target's flower might be hydrogen cyanide. Conan hurried back to the hall, looking for someone whose flower on his chest was not blooming.
　　 A few minutes later, Conan discovered that in the hall, only the flowers used for performance by Toshioka Okano on the podium were not open.
　　 Conan muttered: "Is it because I think too much, Miss Lixiang should not commit suicide." However, to be on the safe side, Conan ran to the podium.
No, Conan sniffed the faint smell of hydrogen cyanide in the air, and immediately rushed to the stage. In Okano’s surprised eyes, he picked up the bottle with liquid nitrogen and sprayed the nitrogen towards those who were due to himself. Flowers that are blooming due to rising temperatures have turned those flowers into a budding state again.
　　 "Stop, stop, stop." Okano Toshiro yelled in an anxious manner, "You kid, you ruined my most important performance."
　　 Conan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Sorry, when I got the bottle, it suddenly came out."
　　 "Damn it, why are you here." Maori ran onto the stage to catch Conan.
　　 Conan quickly retreated to the stage, where everyone could not see, put Maori down with an anesthetic needle, and let him sit on the floor of the stage.
　　 At this time, the Megome Police Department came over and said in surprise: "This is the sleeping Kogoro." Then he asked in surprise, "Brother Maori, have you found out where the clues to this case are?"
"Not bad." Conan said with a voice-changing bow tie in Maori's voice, "In fact, it is completely what I meant to interrupt the performance." At the same time, I thought, Uncle, there are so many reporters outside, I will help you become famous, then this black pot Just reluctantly remember it.
　　 Okano Toshika exclaimed: "What, what did you say!" Then he glanced at the gathered guests, "You ruin my banquet like this, I won't let you go."
　　 "What if I save your life?" Conan said in a Maori voice, "When the closed petals bloom, that's when your life is about to end."
　　 Mumu Police Department said helplessly: "Brother Maori, can you explain it clearly so that everyone can understand."
"Policy, please let people seal all the flowers used for arranging flowers. In order to prevent air from leaking out, it is best to wrap two or three layers." Conan said in a Maori voice, "These flowers hide the bizarre death of Manager Shiraki. The secret is now a murder weapon in an attempted murder."
　　 "Okay." The Meguro Police Department immediately ordered it to go down and do it.
　　 "Whether it was killing the manager Shiraki or planning to kill Ms. Rika, they all used Ms. Rika's method of arranging flowers, that is, the closed petals suddenly bloom, this method is carried out." Conan said in a Maori voice.
　　The police department asked: "So the murderer is Miss Toshioka? But, brother Maori, if it is said that Manager Shiraki was killed by Miss Toshioka, it can be said that Miss Okano wants to commit suicide here?"
　　 "You are talking nonsense, but I have been meeting guests in the lobby." Okano said, "There are many people here who can make an alibi for me."
　　 Conan said in a Maori voice: "Yes, Manager Shiraki was not killed by Miss Lixiang."
　　 Mumu Police Department asked, "Who is this murderer then?"
　　 "This person is the one who prepares flowers for Miss Rika's performance." Conan said in a Maori voice, "Miss Rika, I think you should be very clear."
　　 "You mean Acui." Okano Rika said in surprise.
　　 "Yes, it's Ms. Rika, your special assistant Ms. Tsui Ozaki." Conan said in a Maori voice, "Because besides you, the only one who can arrange flowers on stage is Miss Tsui."
　　 Mumu Police Department asked: "However, Miss Cui was also on the stage at the time. If she was the murderer, the poisonous flowers she arranged would poison herself to death?"
　　 Conan said in a Maori voice: "The reason may be because of this magical flower arrangement. Miss Cui once said that this was only developed by Miss Lixiang."
"I wanted to die with Okano Toshika." Ozaki Tsui stood up, "Detective Maori is right. This magical flower arrangement method of making closed flower buds bloom was created by my sister herself. It came out, Okano Toshika used to be her student, but Okano Toshika found the patron of Shiraki and packaged her as the first person to create this kind of flower arrangement ~EbookFREE.me~ Of course, in art It’s a common phenomenon for the powerful people in the world to crowd out the incompetent. But Okano Toshika knew that with my sister, she would never be able to get ahead, so she embarrassed Shiraki and used all kinds of despicable means to exert pressure everywhere. My sister cannot publish her work wherever she goes."
　　 Mumu Police Department asked: "Then your sister?"
Ozaki Sui said sadly: "She ended her life without any attachment to life." Then Okano Toshika said, "Okano Toshika, you have never loved these flowers at all. You are just trying to gain fame and use them for money. No matter, I became your assistant incognito, only to truly understand this, so I can't bear the actions of you and Manager Shiraki."
"Ha, ha..." Okano Toshika laughed, "I think you understand everything at all. This kind of flower arrangement method was invented by the teacher, but the teacher just came up with it. It was me who applied for the patent. So in this world, no one can use similar flower arranging methods except me and the people I recognize, including the teacher." Then he said, "I am very sad for the death of the teacher, but this is the competition in this world. Cruel, the winner can get the reputation of money, the loser can only get sympathy, and sometimes it can't get the sympathy." Then he said to the Megumi Police Department, "Hurry up and take her away. I want to continue my performance. Up."
After 　　, Ozaki Tsui followed the Megumi Police Department, and when she walked out, listening to the applause for Tosaka Okano in the hall, Ozaki Tsui shed two rows of tears. ...
　　 Later, Tsui Ozaki was sentenced to ten years for homicide and attempted homicide. ...
