Chapter 315
Momota: "But how exactly did Ryoma end up in the sink, is this also Yumeno's technique?" ”
This mystery will surely be the biggest focus in unraveling this incident.
"Thanks to Yumeno, the difficulty of the game has been increased, and I am full of energy, so I have to work hard to solve the mystery, and the hateful murderer is waiting for me. Xiao Ji said.
"If Yumeno doesn't tell us, we won't be able to know how the murderer dealt with Ryoma-san, but looking at that situation, how can we convince her?" Baiyin said.
"However, maybe, Yumeno will use the magic show's technique as a clue and uncover all the annihilation groups at once, and I can see through everything you did!"
"Is there a plot like this? After all, she's also a magician. ”
Rabbit: "Ah, Miss Ben wants to ask you something. ”
It's not like please, someone else's attitude at all.
"It's not directly related to time, didn't Jeontae arrest you last night?"
"In the end, it's really hard to see why Miss Ben keeps running away. Mei Rabbit said.
"Well, tell me too, because I'm running from everywhere too, so I don't know. ”
Having said that, Meitu, who doesn't seem to have very good physical strength, how did he escape from Jeontae?
"Hurry up. Mei Rabbit said.
"Well, it was Xiao Ji who deceived us all day to catch us, and at the beginning it was Jiwang, True Palace, Silver, Rotor, and me who were caught. Lin Xiao said, "Then it didn't take long for Mengye and Anqi to be brought by Jeontae." ”
"They're in the gym?"
"Well, it was 9 p.m. when I left the classroom with Xiao Ji, so they should have brought it five minutes ago. ”
"Then we were forced to attend an insect exchange in Thailand, and we were only able to leave an hour after nighttime, about 11pm. ”
"That is, the people who stayed in that place from 9 to 11 p.m. have a certificate of presence, and on the other hand, it is me, Mitu, the maid, Koharu, and the dead Ryoma. Momota said.
"Aha, I've learned the word alibi in the last incident, what that insect exchange would be. Mei Rabbit said.
"Then again, how did Meitu escape Jeontae's pursuit? ”
"Oh, it's just that, how to say it, it's a woman's mist, don't be like that, Miss Ben doesn't want to say it. ”
"Aha. ”
"Don't just laugh. Lin Xiao said.
"Hahaha. ”
She's going to get by with a smile.
"Lin Xiao, don't pay attention to her, she's in trouble. Momota said.
'Yes, we'll be here to solve the mystery when the school level judges. Lin Xiao said.
By the way, I also want to ask Angel about the magic show set.
"Angel, I would like to ask about the set of the magic show. Lin Xiao said.
"Angel was in charge of the stage design, assembling the stage and painting it. ”
"Then Anqi, you should know what mechanism is there for Mengye's escape in the water, right?" Lin Xiao said.
"I don't know, because Yumeno can only say it's magic. ”
In this way, Yumeno didn't tell Anqi about his methods.
"By the way, you also have a love for others to help prepare, right?" Lin Xiao said.
"Well, I only started preparing yesterday, but there are all kinds of characters. ”
"For example, when you want to move the sink and staircase lamp from Yumeno's research classroom at noon. ”
"Jiwang and I were called in to help. Momota said.
"Even though the sink has wheels, it's still huge, so it's tiring to move. ”
Then Angel asked the maid to help sew the curtain, because Angel was not good at sewing. Angel said.
"So the success of today's magic show depends on the gods. ”
"No, it's supposed to be everyone. Momota said.
But is this considered a success?
"Let's ask again, it was Anqi who proposed to use the scary fish in the magic show, right?" Lin Xiao said.
"Because if it's just a simple escape from the water, it's no different from an ordinary magic show. ”
"To make the show even more exciting, it should be even more exciting to add scary fish. Angel said.
"It is the will of the gods. ”
Anqi's classmates, gods, even ask for this kind of thing?
"And the sink and timer were originally placed in Yumeno's research classroom?" Lin Xiao said.
"Of course, according to the attached instructions, the linkage between the sink and the timer. ”
Angel: "It's designed that as soon as the time limit is reached, the bottom will automatically open. ”
I see, almost all of the things used in the magic show were taken from Yumeno-san's research classroom.
"Anyway, after a lot of tossing and turning yesterday, I finally finished the preparations, and I can finally take a breath. ”
Angel: "I was suddenly arrested by Jeon-tae, so we didn't have time to rehearse." ”
"Because it was already night when Jeontae let me go, I couldn't go back to the gym. ”
"In this way, it is forbidden to enter and leave the gymnasium at night time. Momota said.
"So we had to give up last night, and we came to the stadium this morning before the announcement. ”
Angel said, "The two of them came to the gymnasium together, but luckily there was nothing wrong with the set. ”
It would have been impossible for the representative to sneak into the gymnasium this morning, before the two men arrived.
"What's wrong with Lin Xiao, are you very troubled because of the events that you can't solve? But it's all right. ”
Angel said.
"Huh?" Lin Xiao said.
"That's what the gods say, don't worry about it. Angel said.
"Yes. Lin Xiao said.
"Because the gods have seen through everything, including the murderer, of course, they are worthy of the gods, too godly. ”
I always feel that Angel is getting more and more uncomfortable.
"I couldn't have imagined that such a cruel incident could happen in such a happy performance. Manomiya said.
"How could the murderer do such a murderous thing, just to see how caught us off guard?"
"It's really impossible to commit a crime for this purpose, there must be some reason. ”
"For this purpose, the murderer took advantage of this show, and he should think in this direction. Lin Xiao said.
This means that the murderer already knows the mysteries of Yumeno-san's magic show, and uses them in turn. Manomiya said.
If so, does it mean that Yumeno-san once told others about the technique? she obviously insisted that those performances were magic.
"If the murderer used this show to commit a crime, it should be necessary to investigate the agency. ”
Manomiya muttered as she walked towards the back of the stage.
"Is there anything behind the stage?"
"Let's go along, and for the sake of prudence, maybe it's better to investigate. Lin Xiao said.
Well, there's a pool of stagnant water behind the stairs.
This shouldn't be the stagnant water left behind by breaking the sink, as it seems to be the only one behind the stage that is wet.
Maybe someone else is getting wet and doing something here.
For example, a change of clothes.
But is there a way to move from the sink to the space behind this staircase?
Perhaps this mystery has an important clue to the method of escaping from the water.
It's a long rope, is this also a tool for magic shows?
The length is about 2O meters.
Manomiya said.
"Can you tell?"
"Because I've been to villages where that kind of game is prevalent, I'm familiar with how to use it. Shingu said, "When I left, the people there kept me." ”
Although her words are very important, they must now concentrate on investigating.
Then again, what exactly is this rope used for, and does it have anything to do with the incident?
"There should still be clues hidden in this place. ”
Momota: 'Is there anything here?, but we have to investigate quickly. ’
So the investigation continued.
This is the staircase to climb up the sink, and if you look closely, the side of this staircase is full of wet pairs
Does it have anything to do with the standing water next to it?
There is nothing unusual about it from the back, except that it is very large, it is just an ordinary sink.
The sink seems to be made of special glass on every side, and of course there is no secret door or anything like that.
"Huhu is amazing, how did Yumeno-san leave?" said Mamiya.
"If the trick can be easily uncovered and then it's not magic. Momota said.
"But as long as you know Yumeno-san's escape route, you should know how Ryoma got in. ”
Mamiya hand.
That's right, Ryoma should have come in from that route.
In order to find out how Ryoma entered this sink, it was necessary to crack Yumeno-san's escape technique.
The interesting places behind the stage have been investigated.
However, the mechanism used in the magic show is still almost unclear.
"Hey, when are we going to investigate the place, isn't our goal to find the murderer?" Momota said.
"Alright, let's go. ”
"Ah, wait a minute, Momota. Lin Xiao said.
"Yumeno said that magic is magic, don't bully her, otherwise you want you to look good. ”
Even so, if you don't solve the puzzle, you won't be able to pass the blood-level trial.
"There are a lot of parts that are hard to explain, but what must be cleared up at the beginning is when Ryoma was killed. Ji Wang said.
"Of course, when the magic show was held, the murderer knew about the magic show of Oh Yumeno, so he used it to kill Ryoma in turn. Momota said.
"In other words, the people who participated in this magic show were suspicious. ”
"Momota didn't come either. ”
"No, I'm not suspicious, I just forgot to make an appointment to run to breakfast, you know, I'm not suspicious at all. ”
"I really can't understand how I want to accept your justification. ”
Ji Wang is very right.
"It's rare magic to make people smile, but. Yumeno said.
"No problem, everybody's smiling. The rotor said.
No, it's too hard to smile.
"Yumeno-san, are you still reluctant to tell us how to escape from the water?" Lin Xiao said, "In order to solve the mystery of this incident, we need to know no matter what. ”
"My water escape is all my magic. ”
"I'm still saying that. Momota said.
"It's magic anyway, and I don't listen to anything you say. Yumeno said.
"But. ”
"That's it. The rotor said, "If I continue to entangle, my Aikido will not bypass people." ”
"There's nothing I can do. Momota said.
Investigate the stage carefully and see what's there.
A timer to count down when performing a water escape.
Unexpectedly, this would become a countdown to the discovery of Ryoma's body.
From the stage, overhead is a tank filled with terrible fish.
Remember that it was designed so that as soon as the timer on the stage counts to zero, the bottom will automatically turn on.
Currently the bottom is open and the inside is empty.
There seems to be no lid from above, and when you look up from the bottom, you can see the ceiling directly.
There is also only a glass plate on the front side, and the scene and bottom are ordinary plates.
That is, there is no lid above this one, and only the front is a glass sink.
"I remember that this sink was originally placed in the research room. Momota said.
"So, did Baitian help carry the props for the magic show?" Lin Xiao said.
"Well, we moved together, and it was really tiring. ”
"But I'm only going to help carry them, and that's how they hang the sink. Momota said.
"Besides, it's a heavy tank of water and terrible fish, and it's not easy to lift it. ”
"It looks like it's on a light stand in a gymnasium. ”
"Maid classmates?" Lin Xiao said.
"The light stands in the stadium are lifting, and you can go up or down by pressing a button on the side of the stage. ”
"They seem to have hung the hook of the sink on the lowered lampstand and raised it. ”
"Well, the lampstand is sturdy enough to support this sink. Momota said.
"Because they are usually used to hang heavy lamps, they must have been very sturdy in the first place. The maid said.
"When the maid classmates were helping to prepare for the magic show, had they ever heard of the magic show?" Lin Xiao said.
"No, I didn't hear anything and I just helped sew the curtain, which is a shame but I don't know how to do it. ”
"Well, I see. Lin Xiao said.
There was a curtain hanging there, but Lile remembered that it was supposed to be a window.
"What's the matter, you want to investigate that window?"
"Well, that's right. ”
"Oh, it's too high, so you can't reach it. ”
"It's really high, it's a place for terrible piranhas, after all. Momota said.
"By the way, there is a folding ladder next to the five tables, and I will show it to you. ”
With that, he quickly climbed down the stage and carried the ladder over.
"But generally speaking, it's the other way around, right, it's usually the assistants who move it?" Momota said.
"Thank you. ”
Lin Xiao put the ladder dealer on the stage and immediately climbed up.
"I barely touched the window, and I opened the curtains. ”
"Ah, the windows are open. ”
"Since the window is open, it means that the murderer must not have entered and exited through that window, right?" Momota said.
Murderers coming in and out of here?
"What's on the other side of the window?" Momota said.
"Oh, I can only see a little bit but it's supposed to be the pool. Lin Xiao said.
"Swimming pool: I've heard there's a place like this. "Then we will go to investigate later, and the murderer must have entered and exited the gymnasium from there." ”
"Ah, wait a minute, what is this. ”
"Well, what's wrong. ”
Lin Xiao said: "It's nothing, it's just that there are scars on the window." "It looks like there are abrasions on the sturdy penetration, is that also related to the incident?
I'm not sure, but I'm just going to remember it first.
