Chapter 29 second quarter
Seeing Shindo appearing behind Ah Nin, Honma frowned. "You're really here." "From your tone, it seems that I can't come. Maybe I think too much?" "That's not what I mean, I'm just worried that you'll be fine at work?" "Fortunately, the world is peaceful." "What a pity." "You seem disappointed." "No, I'm disappointed for you. Mr. Urushizaki called just now, saying that there was a murder. Please contact him immediately." "..." "It's true." When the two of them were bickering, Tanaka Teppei and Harada Ikuo ran out from inside.They are eating a turkey leg. "Did you get a telescope?" Tieping asked leisurely, and Xinteng patted his head. "Okay, then I'll contact him later, but at least let's have a toast first." "It's not good to drink now," Honma said, "I'm going to work soon." When Shindo was about to get angry, Anin said: "Then let's cut the cake first. After eating the cake, you will have the energy to handle the case." "I agree!" Tieping said, and Harada clapped his hands too. "Takeuchi-sensei is really understanding, so let's do this." Xinteng also clapped his hands and walked into the house.Honma reluctantly nodded in agreement. When Aren opened the box, a whipped cream cake appeared, surrounded by a circle of strawberries, as well as Santa Claus and candles from the bungalow.Reads "Merry Christmas" in chocolate at center.Teppei and Harada cheered. Ah Ren held the knife, tilted his head and said: "Round cakes are hard to cut into fifths...Tanaka." "Why?" When Tie Ping asked back, his eyes were still on the cake. "You first answer when you divide the circle into six equal parts, what is the angle of each sector?" "Why? Why are you doing math now?" "You have to learn anytime and anywhere in life, and answer quickly." "It's winter vacation tomorrow," Tieping pouted. "Uh, the total is three hundred and sixty degrees. If it is divided into six equal parts... it is sixty degrees." "Correct. Harada, it's your turn." "I skip." "You can't skip it. If you divide it into six equal parts, it means sixty degrees. What about fifth equal parts?" "Fifty degrees." "You stupid." Shinobu hit Harada on the head with his left hand. "The quintile is seventy-two degrees, you can remember it clearly for me. But the quintile is too difficult, let's just divide it into the sixth." "Who will eat the extra piece?" Tieping asked. "Of course it is the first to win first, life is a battlefield where the weak prey on the strong." That extra cake is definitely mine.When Shinobi confidently started cutting the cake, he heard a metallic sound. "Huh?" Ren pulled out the knife. "There seems to be something inside." "What a strange sound." As Honma said, he opened the cake along the place where the knife cut it just now, and found something that looked like a piece of metal inside. "Ah yo, why is there such a thing inside?" Honma took out a small knife from inside the cake. "I see," Tie Ping said loudly, "So this cake comes with a knife, and some people may not have a knife at home." "How could there be such an inexplicable cake? Show me." Shindo took the knife from Honma.Aren also came over and looked at the knife in his hand.The blade is attached to a plastic handle, which looks like a fruit knife. "what!" Ah Ren cried out, stepped back and pointed at the knife and said: "Blood, blood, blood. There's blood on the knife." "what?" Instead, the two children looked up at the knife in Xinteng's hand. Shinto looked at the knife.The blade was indeed stained with something crimson. "This...it seems not simple." While he was muttering softly, the phone in the corner of the room rang.Everyone jumped up. Ben picked up the phone and handed it to Shindo. "Urushizaki-san is calling." "Oh, thanks." As soon as Shindo put the phone to his ear, he heard Urushizaki's voice. "What are you dawdling about? There's a homicide. I'm at the Ikuno Police Station. Come here right away." "Oh... homicide?" Shinto replied absent-mindedly.He still hasn't quite shaken the shock of a knife emerging from the cake. "What are you in a daze for? It's a homicide. Although it was disguised as suicide, the murderer's knife couldn't be found." "The knife... is it a fruit knife?" Shindo looked at the knife in his hand and asked. "It should be, according to the supervisor, it should be a fruit knife... I will tell you slowly when you come." "Uh, Brother Qi." "What? I'm busy." "No, that...there is a knife here." "I know you have a knife there, so what?" "It's just... when cutting the cake, a knife ran out." "Cake? Of course you need a knife to cut the cake, so what?" "No, there's a knife in the cake. It's true, although it doesn't sound like it." "What? I don't understand, cut the cake with a knife, and there is a knife in the cake..." "Come out." "..." Urushizaki fell silent, and Shinto didn't speak anymore.After a while, Urushizaki heard "Hi". "Did you just say cake?" Urushizaki's voice was very low, completely different from before, and his tone became very cautious. "Yes indeed." "..." There was another silence.Xinteng pressed the phone to his ear, and the next moment there was a loud cry, which almost shattered his eardrum. "I see, I'll go over right away. Listen, don't move, don't move the cake and the knife. As long as you dare to move a finger, I won't let you go."
