Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

"This……"

John Floyd was immediately dumbfounded. It was okay for him as the CEO of a large automobile company to help others take the bowl, but as long as someone touched him, he would directly paste mapo tofu in his face. Isn't it too...

Unfortunately, Qin Xianshu had no intention of telling him more and turned around and ran away.

Although the lighting facilities were all dark, the entire venue was not so dark because the big screen was still on.

On the stage, the two female hosts were still doing emotional soothing work. In summary, everyone should not panic. This is just a temporary accident and the power should be restored soon.

On the other side, Qin Xianshu had arrived at the location where the lightning flashed just now.

He leaned over to explore, but found that there was not even a trace on the ground.

After confirming again and again, Qin Xianshu straightened up, found a nearby passerby and patted his shoulder.

"I saw sparks flashing here before. You have been here, have you noticed anything?"

"Electric spark? What electric spark?"

The passerby who was caught as a young man looked puzzled.

"I've been here the whole time and I haven't seen the electric sparks you mentioned. Also, have you seen Senator Yukinoshita?"

"What... no, sorry, didn't see it."

Qin Ushu was slightly shocked when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, patted the other party's shoulder and turned to leave.

But as soon as he turned his head, he bumped into Yangno and Yukimu coming towards them.

Yang Nai also looked around as if she was looking for someone, while Xue Mu held her mobile phone to her ear and followed her daughter all the way to look for her.

Happening to catch a glimpse of Qin Ushu, Yang Nai ran up to him and asked in a slightly anxious tone.

"Xian Shu, have you seen my dad?"

"He has disappeared since just now, and he doesn't answer his phone calls." Xue Mu followed.

"About this..."

Looking across the faces of the mother and daughter, the high school detective slowly spoke.

"I guess he was ganked by someone."

……

The disappearance of a dignified congressman is not a trivial matter. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department decisively sent people to rush over after receiving the alarm call from Yukinoshita's house.

The banquet was interrupted, the situation was explained, and the whole place was cleared in one go.

Ten minutes later, apart from the police, only Qin Ushu and Yukinoshita's mother and daughter were left in the huge dinner venue.

The ones sent by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were naturally the Megure Police Department. After all, with the help of Qin Ushu, they searched the first section of the Criminal Search Division and the third department. The crime detection rate in the entire Metropolitan Police Department was completely supermodel. The accounting icon Both of them can be ranked outside the table with the same selection rate as the early Cai Liu Yeager.

As a result, if there is any difficult case later, as long as Mu Mu is around, then look for Mu Mu.

In the venue, the police from the search section were still conducting a blanket search.

Looking at the empty banquet hall, Mu Mu couldn't help but feel a little confused.

According to the description he received from the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, Senator Yukinoshita's disappearance occurred during a sudden power outage during the dinner.

But the problem is, the time to turn on the switch was only about 30 seconds. It takes 30 seconds to make a big living person disappear from the venue. Do you think you are playing a big game?

"If I remember correctly, the power outage was only in this venue. Although all the lighting devices in the venue went out at that time, the large screen that was powered by an external power strip did not go out."

Qin Ushu analyzed rationally.

"In other words, it is impossible for the prisoner to knock Yukinoshita Councilor unconscious with a stick and then simply and roughly drag him away from the banquet. In that case, he would probably have been stopped as soon as he left the venue."

"Indeed." Megure Police Department nodded, "Is it possible that Senator Yukinoshita was coerced by someone and walked out of the venue on his own initiative?"

"Oh, that's absolutely impossible." Qin Xianshu said.

"why?"

"Although I can't produce serious evidence, I accidentally caught a glimpse of an electric spark when the switch was turned on. I guessed that the prisoner used an electric shock baton or something to stun Senator Yukinoshita. He was then removed from the venue."

"stun gun!?"

Even Xue Mu's expression changed slightly.

"Etc., etc!"

The police department was confused.

"Brother Usami Shu, didn't you just say that it was impossible for the prisoner to directly knock Senator Yukinoshita out and take him away from the scene?"

"Yes, but I just said that he was knocked unconscious with an electric shock baton, and I didn't say that he was taken away from the scene directly."

Qin Xianshu took a deep breath and then began to deduce and analyze.

"The first lesson in magic class, Misdireaction, is just like many magic revelations. When you read these revelations, you will find that most of them use human psychology to compare the time when you thought it happened and the time when it happened. The actual time of occurrence is staggered.”

"You think it's happened, but it hasn't, or it has."

"Similarly, when you thought that Representative Yukinoshita had disappeared, he was actually not. He was still in this venue..."

After finishing his words, Qin Xianshu immediately added an explanation when he saw others starting to look back for Daddy Xue.

"Ah, of course he has been taken away now, for sure."

"So where was my father taken?" Yukino couldn't help but ask.

"It's actually very simple to figure this out." Qin Xianshu glanced at her, "Don't worry, there is no problem with your father's life safety. He is probably curled up in a corner unconsciously at the moment... perhaps."

"Exclude all impossibilities, and whatever remains, no matter how unreasonable, is still the truth."

After saying this, Qin Ushu looked around and finally landed on an unnatural vacancy.

Dining carts containing food were neatly parked on both sides of the vacancy, and if he remembered correctly, there was also a dining cart originally placed in this vacancy, and the food on it should be Kabayaki eel.

But now the dining car is gone, and the scent of Kabayaki eel is filling the air.

It is worth mentioning that the fragrance floated up from the red carpet on the ground, and it seemed that it had been splashed before.

Qin Mianshu casually picked up a piece of sandwich from the dining cart nearby and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he leaned down and lifted up the white tablecloth covering the dining cart, revealing the open space underneath.

"See, there's room for someone to fit in here."

"Can this... be stuffed?" Mu Mu had some doubts.

But Qin Xianshu's next words made him feel as if he had been stabbed hard.

"With your size, Detective Megure, you will definitely not be able to fit it in, but if it's Yukinoshita-chan... I think there should be no problem."

Chapter 107 Let’s take a big gamble!

"To sum up, the only way the prisoner could take Senator Yukinoshita out of the venue without anyone noticing was by using the dining car."

"Even if a dining car is used for transportation, the prisoner's route must be traceable, or at least it must basically conform to the normal entry and exit route of the hotel dining car."

"At least you can't push the dining cart and charge out the back door. This is too risky. If other staff see it, your secret will be exposed."

"Then the question is, could the prisoner be a hotel employee?"

"No, I don't think this is very likely. The prisoner only needs to have a basic understanding of the operating rules of the Chihama View Hotel, and then use snacks to get a hotel staff uniform."

"The final question is, in order to avoid a sense of inconsistency and expose the secret, where will the prisoner ultimately choose to hide the food truck?"

"There is only one answer..."

As a wisp of the pungent aroma of Mapo Tofu floated out of the venue, the following surprising scene appeared in the eyes of the crowd outside the venue.

A handsome young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old led the way, holding a bowl of mapo tofu in one hand like a traditional Japanese wine bowl. Behind him, there were several policemen and Yukizuki. Below are three mothers and daughters.

The young man was walking in front, talking to himself, eating Mapo tofu every now and then, with a relaxed and comfortable look on his face.

The aroma started at the dinner venue, passed through the front and rear corridors, and ended in the hotel's back kitchen.

Pouring the last piece of spicy red tofu in the bowl into his mouth, Qin Xianshu licked his slightly red lips and exhaled a mouthful of hot, fragrant breath.

He casually placed the empty bowl next to the sink where the faucet was still dripping. His gaze passed between the shelves and landed on the silently parked dining car directly opposite.

On the dining car, the large pot of kabayaki eel is still fresh and steaming as if it had just come out of the pot.

This is the back kitchen part of the entire hotel. Clean dishes and towels are usually piled here, including some tableware and bowls used by guests, which are also sent here for cleaning.

It's just that now all the hotel staff have been gathered in the front lobby to take notes because of Yukinoshita-san's disappearance, so that there is not even a single staff member in the huge back kitchen, which makes it seem extremely quiet.

"The dining car is already here, where is Dad?"

Almost at the same time that Qin Sanshu put down the bowl in his hand, Yang Nai also saw the dining car in the distance.

She trotted over quickly and reached out to lift the white cloth covering the dining car, but there was no one in the space under the dining car.

"Look around~"

Qin Xianshu walked over unhurriedly, picked up a piece of work clothes that had fallen to the ground from the dining car, and smelled it close to the tip of his nose.

There was an obvious strong smell of sweat on the inside of the overalls, but this alone could not confirm the prisoner's gender.

Although it counts as evidence, it is of little use.

With this in mind, he threw his work clothes aside and opened a nearby cupboard door that was stained with kabayaki eel sauce for some reason.

"Oh!"

Qin Xianshu's sudden voice of surprise attracted everyone's attention.

In the opened cupboard, Councilor Yukinoshita, whose mouth was sealed with tape, was huddled quietly, his eyes closed and his face looked ugly, as if he was still in a coma.

"father!"

The Yukinoshita sisters had never seen such a battle since they were young, and they all exclaimed and ran over.

Qin Xianshu tore off the tape, patted and pinched the face of the still unconscious middle-aged man, and then felt for his pulse.

"Well, there's no problem. I'm still hot. I just passed out."

"The first priority is to send him to the hotel infirmary for a nearby check-up."

At the critical moment, Xue Mu spoke up to take charge of the overall situation.

"really."

As Qin Sanshu said this, he stuffed the dining cart with kabayaki-roasted eel and tablecloth to the side of the pool, then adjusted the position of the dining cart and patted the handrail.

"bring it on!"

"...Huh? Isn't this inappropriate?"

Yang Nai immediately understood what he meant, and thought that this was too wild. He actually wanted to put the dignified county council member on the dining cart and push it to the infirmary. If word spread, it would become a joke.

"Then... why don't you find something to cover it with?"

Qin Xianshu scratched his head slightly. He turned his attention to the large white tablecloth that he had just pulled off. After thinking for a moment, he quickly rolled his eyes and shook his head.

No, no, no, he is the biological father of his classmate and friend after all, he can't do such a thing.

"I'll still come."

Megure Police Department finally couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward voluntarily, dragged Senator Yukinoshita out of the cabinet, and then carried him on his back.

"Let's go."

"I'll go find the staff and ask where the infirmary is!"

It only took one look from my mother to react immediately. Yangno said something, grabbed her little sister who had not yet reacted, and rushed out of the kitchen.

Qin Xianshu followed the Mumu Police Department leisurely. At this moment, he suddenly felt the phone in his pocket vibrate slightly.

"Ok?"

He took out his cell phone and took a look at it, then subconsciously expressed doubts and turned to the Megure Police Department who was walking in front with Senator Yukinoshita on his back.

"Sorry about the police department, you and Mrs. Yukinoshita go there first, I have something to do and I have to leave for a while."

"Huh? Oh...okay."

Although he didn't know what Qin Xianshu was going to do, Mu Mu also knew that he never aimed for nothing, and now that the person had been found anyway, and his life was not in danger, he felt relieved a little and nodded in response.

So Megure and Yukinoshita's mother and daughter took the unconscious council member to the infirmary, and Qin Ushu came to... the parking lot outside the hotel.

Outside the hotel, the dusk was deep.

Arriving at the designated location, a stretched limousine parked quietly under the slightly desolate street lights.
