Chapter 1072

The opening ceremony opened, and as the lights turned off, the banquet hall gradually darkened.

The guests were surrounded by darkness, but were not panicking.

They have participated in various banquets all year round, and they are very clear about the general process - at these banquets, the organizers often play some commemorative projections. At such times, it is natural to turn off the lights.

Sure enough, not long after, the host stood on the stage.

A beam of light fell from the top of his head and enveloped him: "Everyone! The next thing I want to introduce to you is the work of the most important guest today, that is, our national treasure painter - Mr. Ruyue Fengshui!"

As his voice fell, the side of the stage, a screen nearly ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide, slowly descended.

The projection hits it, switching paintings one by one.

Dozens of paintings slowly flashed by. All the paintings are all about the same theme - Mt. Fuji of all kinds, seasons, and angles.

The host's melodious voice came: "Mr. Ruizuki loves Mt. Fuji. He has spent more than 30 years painting the majestic appearance of Mt. Fuji. This time, Mr. Ruizuki is celebrating the completion of the twin-tower skyscraper of his student, Chairman Tokiwa, especially A gift of his new work!"

When the painting is finished, the projection screen goes out. The attention of the guests, under the guidance of the host, returned to the stage.

"Please enjoy-"Haruyuki's Fuji"!"

The curtain slowly opened.

In the darkness, Mao Lilan looked at the huge outline on the stage, and whispered to the two classmates in surprise: "What a big picture."

Suzuki Sonoko was also a little surprised, Ruyue Fengshui seemed to be very uninterested in the commercial activities such as the "opening ceremony", but he did not expect to be so attentive.

But after a second thought: "After all, it is for students. Maybe he is more satisfied with the student of Chairman Tokiwa..."

A row of lights as bright as day suddenly came down, illuminating the painting precisely.

Suzuki Sonoko stared blankly at the stage, and the remaining half of the words suddenly got stuck in his throat.

Jiang Xia noticed her strangeness, looked away from the business card, and looked back along the eyes of Ma Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

On the stage, in front of the huge painting, there was a figure swaying slightly.

- Chairman Tokiwa, who had just turned red, was strangled and hung in the center of the painting. She lowered her head, didn't move, her hands were down, and she looked very peaceful.

"Ahhhh-!"

After a brief silence, screams of horror erupted.

Amuro Toru: "..." After saying that he was going to blow up "fireworks", why did a murder case suddenly come out... What the **** is Uzo trying to do?

However, it doesn't have to be Uzo...

Thinking of this, Amuro couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia.

Seeing that Jiang Xia has been like an enthusiastic detective, completely forgetting the boss of the dark organization standing aside, he quickly ran to the stage.

Not far away, Mouri Kogoro also rushed onto the stage at the same time.

Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at the corpse hanging in the distance. He quickly came to the console and glanced down at the operation switch.

Then, staring at various complicated buttons with unknown uses, he was silent for a while.

After a second, he naturally knocked on the table, awakening Sawada Chinami who was stunned beside him, and reminded: "Put people down first."

"...Okay, okay!" Sawada Chinami jolted, and then she regained her senses. She hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled the joystick on the console.

As the easel rose again, Chairman Tokiwa's body gradually descended from the air and landed on the ground.

Mori Kogoro took the pulse of an old acquaintance, rolled her eyes again, and shook her head sadly: There is no help.

Several other acquaintances also ran to the stage subconsciously at this time, including Maurilan and Suzuki Sonoko who were a little scared.

Jiang Xia walked from the console to the center of the stage where the corpse was.

The two classmates noticed him approaching, and like two competent bodyguards, they quickly parted ways and watched him come to the corpse expectantly.

"It was hung up by a wire." An Shitou looked up at Jiang Xia, then lowered his head again, studying the neck of the corpse.

Tokiwa Mio wears a shiny pearl necklace around her neck. A length of steel wire extends from the necklace, bypasses the top beam, and connects to the bottom of the huge portrait. In this way, once the Chinese painting falls, Tokiwa Mio will be suddenly lifted up.

Counting the time, she may have been hanging on it for several minutes.

Jiang Xia sighed calmly, showing the qualities a "good friend of the police" should have:

"Anyway, call the police first."

Talking about what he remembered, he turned to look at Mao Lilan, who took out the phone after hearing the sound, and added: "By the way, don't dial 110, just call the Mu Police Department - he's downstairs."

"Okay." Mao Lilan quickly called up the number of the Mumu Police Departmentshe had saved it before.

In addition to the Meguro Police Department, she also has the numbers of Officer Sato, Officer Takagi, and Officer Shiratori... It's not that she has the habit of deliberately collecting the police's private mobile phone numbers.

While waiting for the police to go upstairs, Jiang Xia glanced over the stage.

Seeing him beside him, Amuro's face was quite heavy.

Although I vaguely know the reason why the boss is "heartbroken", it seems a little strange if he doesn't ask a question at this moment.

Jiang Xia walked over and chatted in a tentative tone: "What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

Amuro Toru frowned and said, "I'm just thinking, is this an ordinary accidental murder, or..." It's still part of Uzo's plan.

After arriving at the venue, Toru Amuro used the identity of a "waiter" to wander around secretly, exploring the surroundings.

Originally, he thought he would get nothing like he did at the municipal building in Nishitama a few days ago.

But in fact, after such a stroll, he was shocked to find a lot of time bombs hidden in the banquet hall.

Fortunately, at this time, there was still some time before the explosion, and Amuro Toru didn't start dismantling it immediately. He wanted to figure out the organization...or Uzo's purpose.

Hearing Jiang Xia's question now, An Shitou hesitated, wondering whether to tell him about it.

If Jiang Xia's mind was there to help, he might be able to discover many details that he couldn't find.

But on the other hand, Toru Amuro thought again: Uzo seems to never be soft-hearted towards those who intend to destroy his "stage" - I heard that the cadre in the organization who contacts Uzo most often is because he has blown up Uzo's stage. , I have to start a battle of wits and courage with Wu Zuo... What if I involve Jiang Xia in this struggle with Wu Zuo, and implicate the high school students who want to go the right way?

As he was thinking about it, An Shitou suddenly heard Jiang Xia say in a determined tone:

"This is really not an accidental murder."

May 1st, a monthly ticket may be issued. The big guys can keep a monthly pass to watch the episode next month.
