Chapter 1345: deadly birthday

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: []https://The fastest update! No ads!

Under the cloudy and rainy sky, with the invisible sunlight falling, the entire sky became darker and darker.

Compared to a clear night, the rainy sky was more gloomy and depressing. In Tang Ze's eyes, it seemed that something invisible and terrifying was brewing, heralding the **** storm tonight.

But this is just Tang Ze's subjective feeling. In fact, the whole manor is extremely lively.

Countless guests came to the banquet hall with their male or female companions, and the huge mansion was brightly lit at night, fully showing the extravagant side of the owner of the mansion.

And inside the mansion, it was even more lively.

Countless high-class guests gathered here, holding wine glasses in groups of threes and fours, and various delicacies were placed on the round tables for people to eat.

"After talking for a long time, in the end, you still didn't talk about the details of the accident that happened at the previous birthday party?"

Standing not far from Hoshina Rukako, watching her talking and laughing with the guests, Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Yeah, but she can't stop talking about the guys who have made enemies with her in business." Mori Kogoro complained, crossing his arms.

"Miss Ayako, Mrs. Hoshina passed you by Mrs. Hoshina, the Karasawa criminal society came here?" Xiaolan looked at Ayako and asked, "I wonder if you are clear about the internal affairs?"

Regarding this, Ayako could only shake her head helplessly: "Actually, my father had some friendship with the deceased Mr. Hoshika, and Mrs. Hoshina and I only had some business contacts recently.

When she found me this time, my first reaction was to evade, but the other party mentioned her deceased husband and said that this was the only time, and I could reluctantly agree to it because of my father's face. "

Speaking of Lingzi looking at Tang Ze embarrassedly, in her opinion, she agreed but let Tang Ze work hard to repay the favor, which is really not good.

"It's okay, even if she didn't invite me, I would come if I knew about it, and now I'm paying back the favor."

Tang Ze shook Ayako's hand with a smile and shook his head slightly: "I didn't take it to heart."

On the contrary, he would also like to thank Ayako for allowing him to participate in the case before it happened, giving him the opportunity to stop the case.

I was unlucky before, either I didn't have much participation or I missed the opportunity to stop it.

This time Tang Ze made up his mind to successfully prevent the case and get the reward.

It's a pity that there is no way to say these words, so I can only find a reason to comfort the other party.

"So that's the case." Xiaolan suddenly said after hearing Ayako's explanation.

"I don't know the details of that accident, so I always feel like I missed something." Mori Kogoro frowned.

"It seems that something strange happened back then."

Tang Ze looked at Rukako Hoshina in front of him, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm afraid this is also the reason why the other party is unwilling to discuss in detail.

I'm afraid that what happened that year was not good for her, and this is probably why she has been receiving threatening letters. "

"Unfavorable things..." Hearing Tang Ze's words, the two women looked at each other with the highest curiosity, but they still didn't ask.

After all, if they knew, they wouldn't be discussing it here.

"Hey, the sender of that threatening letter is signed "Guardian of Time", right? "Conan, who was listening to the other side, suddenly said.

"Ah? So what's the matter?" Mori Kogoro said impatiently when he heard Conan's culture.

"In that case, the watchmaker should also be considered the "Guardian of Time", right? "Conan reminded with a slightly serious expression.

"En?" Kogoro Mori folded his arms and looked down at Conan, "Then you mean to say that the three watchmakers hired before are the suspects who sent this anonymous letter?"

"I, I'm just giving you an example." Conan waved his hands quickly when Kogoro Mouri thought so.

If Mori Kogoro really thinks so, and expresses his opinion in a hurry, it will be a headache for him.

"But if you say so, the punctual

On the contrary, Mrs. Bao Ke is more like a guardian of time. "Xiaolan on the side said, looking at Mrs. Baoke not far away.

"Anyway, let's protect Mrs. Hoshika tonight."

Tang Ze saw the butler walking towards the other party, and recalled that the other party had said that the birthday party was at six o'clock before, so he took the initiative to approach the other party.

Although I don't know what the other party is hiding, and I don't know what kind of grudge the prisoner has with him.

But since he is here, he must ensure the safety of the other party to the greatest extent. Even if she commits a crime, she should be punished by the law instead of being driven by hatred to revenge privately.

This will only allow him to spend the rest of his life in prison, tying up his own life. .

Seeing Tang Ze's actions, Mori Kogoro also walked towards Hoshina Rukako, intending to get close to protect her.

On the other side, Tang Ze had already quietly approached the other party, and was always paying attention to his surroundings. He even endured the complicated smell in the air and activated his super-sense of smell to check for poisonous substances.

"Ome, the time is almost up."

Just when Tang Ze was approaching the opponent's surroundings, Hoshina Rukako took out her gold pocket watch to check the time.

"Hi, I see." The butler bowed and turned to leave, seeing Tang Ze couldn't help cheering up.

Mori Kogoro is an unreliable bodyguard, there is no doubt about it, he spent half a day talking there asking if anyone had feuded with her, and was still exploring the matter of the dead watchmaker there.

But the most important thing about the banquet process was that he didn't ask at all. In the end, after he asked aloud, he learned that the other party was going to turn off the lights and cut the cake at 6 o'clock on time.

And this information is undoubtedly very important. After learning about this situation, Tang Ze immediately focused on it.

After all, on the crime notice letter, the words "the moment you are born in this world, stop your time forever with the invisible sword" are clearly written.

There is no doubt that this is a code word that clearly shows the time, implying that the murderer will strike at the moment of Hoshina Rukako's birthday.

These analyzes were thought of by Tang Ze a long time ago, but after coming here to meet Rukako Hoshina and understand her extremely strict attitude towards time.

Reminiscent of Hoshina Rukako cutting the cake, Tang Ze felt that there was a very high chance that the prisoner would choose this moment to do it.

For Rukako Hoshina, whose concept of time is accurate to the second, six o'clock must be a very ceremonial moment.

And the prisoner must know her character, so he wrote that sentence on the notice letter, which is also the "sense of ritual" in the criminal psychology of the prisoner.

In addition, from the perspective of hands-on timing, turning off the lights in the room will also cause people to lose their vision in an instant, and a dark room is also a good time to do it.

Combined with the characteristics of the Zong Zong case before, Tang Ze felt that the moment of complete darkness when the lights were turned off or the candles were blown out was a good time to act.

After getting close to the other party, Hoshina Rukako was still immersed in the joy of the birthday party, unaware of the danger.

"Ma'am, I noticed it just now, can you let me see the gold watch in your hand?"

Just after Hoshina Rukako finished explaining the butler's birthday, Qingbian Dingwu approached and looked at the gold pocket watch in the other's hand and asked.

"Of course, please do." Although Hoshina Rukako is very strict about time, she has no taboos about pocket watches, and she readily agreed.

Looking at the pocket watch handed over by the other party, Qingbian Dingwu took it after thanking him, and held it in his hand to look at it and play with it.

"Wow~ The previous silver pocket watch is already pretty enough, but this gold one seems to match Madam better."

At this moment, Zhou Fangzhiqiu who was on the side also walked out of the crowd and approached Hoshina Rukako, and praised Hoshina Rukako flatteringly.

But everyone is willing to listen to the obedient words. Hearing this, Ruhuako Hoshina covered her mouth with a low smile: "This is a special limited edition product specially customized for Swiss craftsmen~"

"Dum!"

There was a sudden knocking sound between the wooden staff and the floor, and Gu Tan took turns walking away on crutches.

He came over to look at Hoshina Rukako and said, "But because of the master's whim, he was left out on the spur of the moment, and he can only lie in the drawer with a slowly decaying and rusty silver pocket watch. It's a bit too pitiful."

"I don't need you to worry about that."

Hoshina Rukako snorted softly, reached out for her pocket watch, and then said coldly: "That pocket watch is no longer in my hands, because I have already thrown it away because it was broken."

And hearing the cold words of the other party, the expressions of the three people present were a little frozen.

At this moment, the room was plunged into darkness. Tang Ze, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, quickly approached Hoshina Rukako, but his eyes were on the three of them.

His eyesight has been strengthened, and he has a strong adaptability to night vision. The sight distance in complete darkness without a trace of light will be hindered, but now that everyone is around, there is no such restriction.

Regarding the three people in front of him, Tang Ze's vigilance has been raised to the highest level.

The three of them came together with Mori Kogoro at the entrance, and went to the clock tower together. This kind of scene has proved that the three are suspects.

In addition, the three of them were still in contact with the dead watchmaker Zhou Fang, and it would be normal for them to avenge him if there was any hidden secret.

More importantly, at the time point when Tang Ze judged that the murderer was likely to commit a crime, the three of them also approached Hoshina Rukako by coincidence.

For this alone, Tang Ze had to be vigilant and focus on the three of them.

To be honest, it is very troublesome to protect a person, but whether it is to agree to the other party or to reward him, Tang Ze must put his heart into it.

Facing the complicated smell in the hall, he turned on the super-smell to check whether the three people were carrying dangerous items, and at the same time, their concentration was also raised to the highest level.

Whenever there is any disturbance around Hoshina Rukako, he will immediately stop it.

Compared to Tang Ze's vigilance, the sudden darkness brought temporary panic to the guests, and the entire banquet hall was in chaos for a while.

And Mori Kogoro looked around nervously, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything with his eyes.

But with the bright light at the gate, watching the butler push the luxurious cake out of the banquet hall, everyone turned into smiles because the dark noise ended.

"Clatter..."

The applause that came from nowhere led the guests to applaud, and everyone made way for the butler so that he could push the cake in front of Rukako Hoshina.

Hoshina Rukako smiled and bowed slightly to thank the surroundings. After walking two steps close to the cake, she checked the time with a gold pocket watch in one hand and leaned over to blow out the candles.

For her, blowing out the candles at the stroke of six o'clock was the perfect birthday ritual.

And at this moment, Tang Ze's concentration has also increased to the point of terror, and everything around him seems to slow down in his eyes.

But the second hand was still moving forward, and at the moment when it was about to turn to "12", Rukako Hoshina bent down and blew out the stop.

At the moment when the light disappeared again, a certain black figure behind Hoshina Rukako who had already prepared stabbed at Hoshina Rukako with a murder weapon at this moment.

But that momentary darkness imprisoned others, but did not affect Tang Ze in the slightest.

Seeing that the sharp blade was about to drink up the blood, a hand came behind and grabbed his wrist directly from the side like an iron tongs, firmly imprisoning the hand that was about to stab it in mid-air.

The black shadow attacking in the dark didn't seem to think that his supposedly foolproof plan had gone wrong. He subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Tang Ze's speed was even faster.

In the dark, he could see clearly that the prisoner was about to open an umbrella, and the abnormal length of the umbrella tip also let him understand the prisoner's plan.

The prisoner installed the sharp weapon at the tip of the umbrella, and then planned to open the umbrella to cover the splashed blood when killing people.

Although I don't know how the other party plans to solve the murder weapon after the murder, but don't think it's all about using organs or the like.

So Tang Ze crossed over with a horizontal step, held the opponent's arm to prevent him from stabbing forward, and then followed by a horizontal step.

Kick the knee, and at the same time press down on the opponent's head with the hand, directly put the prisoner down and suppress him to the ground.

"boom!"

There was a dull sound when the body touched the ground, but Tang Ze did not further control the prisoner's movements, but reached out to grab the murder weapon in the opponent's hand.

Because since the other party dared to choose such a crime method~www.wuxiamtl.com~, there must be a way to solve the murder weapon.

Tang Ze didn't need to think about it to know what kind of mechanism the other party probably set up to make the murder weapon disappear instantly.

And he didn't forget that there was a sharp knife stuck in the umbrella, and there were so many guests in such a dark environment, the process of the knife being taken away by the mechanism was the murder weapon mechanism.

If the murderer is stopped instantly, and the murder weapon is taken away by the agency, causing casualties, it is really not worthwhile.

So at the moment of subduing the opponent, he reached for the umbrella in the opponent's hand, and then quickly wrapped it around the cake frame next to him twice.

In this way, even if there is a mechanism and a fixed object as big as a dining car, it is impossible to take away the murder weapon in an instant.

Even if the dining cart with wheels is driven by the mechanism and hits people, it will not cause too much impact, and this is the best solution that Tang Ze can achieve at this moment.

And all this happened in the blink of an eye, and it seemed to indicate that the matter had settled down.

The bell that was supposed to ring the moment the candle was extinguished slowly rang.
