Chapter 1800: The Magic of the Magic Troupe
Friday, August 18th, evening, Asakusa Hall.
After the analysis of Winterfell's water tank escape deception, the question of the incident becomes very simple, what makes Winterfell's Illusory Sun unable to escape the water tank.
When Winterfell died, the lock on his hand had been lifted, and the problem was the plywood on his foot, but after on-site inspection, it was found that the plywood could be easily pushed open.
Then, the only problem is the medicine, the medicine that Ishida Kazuma gave to Winter City Phantom Sun.
Maori said, "It must be a tendon relaxant." ”
Officer Takagi heard the question, "Forbidden Foolish Crime?"
"What are you thinking, Takagi. The Twilight Police Department said angrily, "It's a tendon relaxant, and after taking this medicine, you will have symptoms of muscle weakness." ”
"Relaxant, huh?" said Miss Evaluator, "we'll notify the hospital to help investigate." ”
Ishida Kazuma protested: "Please wait a minute, I respect the teacher so much, why should I kill him?"
Hondo Ying said, "Actually, you hate him in your heart, because he has never let you go on stage as a magician. ”
Kazuma Ishida was taken aback, "What? How do you know about such a thing?"
"So, is that true?" asked the Dusk Police Department solemnly, "Did you give Mr. Winterfell's Phantom Sun a drug that made him unable to flip his body in the water and eventually drown?"
Ishida Kazuma hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, there is no such thing, there is no such thing at all." ”
Maori asked, "Hey, you just admitted that you resent Mr. Winterfell?"
"I didn't mean that just now, I was just surprised that this gentleman with glasses would know, no, not this. "Kazuma Ishida is a bit incoherent.
Misa Uehara said, "What the hell are you trying to say?"
"When everyone is helping Mr. Winter City, you are the only one who is taking the camera, and if you really respect your teacher, Mr. Winter City, you will not care about the camera because you are worried about his life and death." ”
Ishida Kazuma said, "That's because the teacher always said that even if it happens, you should keep a record, and he said that it is the evidence that Winter City Phantom Sun is a professional magician, and Mr. Shoji also knows about it." ”
The Twilight Police Department asked, "Mr. Shoji?"
Shingo Shoji said, "Yes, Winterfell did say something like that. ”
Ishida Kazuma said: "Officer, I have a grudge against the teacher for not letting me perform on stage, but this is human nature, the players are ordered by the coach to sit on the cold bench all the time, I believe they will also resent the coach, right? Just like the players will not kill the coach because of this, I will not kill the teacher because of this." ”
"Because if the teacher dies, our magic group will be disbanded, and I will be unemployed. ”
"I have self-knowledge, with my true skills, going to other magic troupes is simply a chorre, much worse than my current job, and even whether I can enter other magic troupes is a problem. ”
Chiaki Nakagawa said, "That's right, if Winterfell really dies, we'll be unemployed, so, officer, we're not going to kill him." ”
Minoru Hasegawa said, "Yes, even if we hate him, we will never kill him." ”
Mori asked, "By the way, Mr. Hasegawa, why did you go to the break room at halftime?
"Yes, that's what I wanted to say," Ishida said, then asked Eiyu Hondo, "This gentleman with glasses, did you eavesdrop on our conversation, right outside the props?"
Hondo Yingyou was so embarrassed that he squeezed out his bean eyes, and Maori, Yamazaki, Ran, and Conan were also empty-hearted.
And when Hondo Eiyu came to see it, the sweat of the four Maori people came down, and before the trial was held, he confessed his accomplices.
"Ahem," Mori said seriously, "Mr. Hasegawa, have you thought about it?"
"I, I'm just passing through. Hasegawa said with a slurring voice.
Maori said: "Stop quibbling and be honest." ”
"I," Hasegawa said after a moment's hesitation, "I just want to hear what the captain is going to do, and I want to hear what the Maori detectives have investigated." ”
"You're empty-hearted, aren't you?" asked Maori, "so you're the murderer, aren't you?"
"No, no," Hasegawa said, waving his hand, "I just want to get some money." ”
Yamazaki understands that Minoru Hasegawa eavesdropped and wanted to report to people to eliminate the evidence, but on the one hand, on the other hand, I am afraid that he wanted to seize the handle of that person and blackmail that person for a long time to support his gambling money and life.
Shingo Shoji said, "Officer, Mr. Mori, I have something to say, you are now bent on thinking that the accident in Winterfell is because of the five of us, may I ask you what evidence you have?" ”
Maori said, "Because there have been two accidents in the Magic Troupe before, one accident may have been an accident, and the other may have been man-made, so Mr. Winter City suspects that one of you is trying to harm him." ”
"Oh, doubt. Shingo Shoji asked, "Have you ever thought about why Winterfell didn't call the police?"
Maori said: "I should be afraid that there will be negative news that will affect the reputation of the magic troupe." ”
Shingo Shoji asked continuously, "Detective Maori, do you think life is more important, or is reputation more important?"
"If you find this person, do you think Winterfell will fire this person or secretly send him to the police?"
"Do you think that this attempted murder case doesn't need Winterfell's court to corroborate it?"
"Do you think the media will know that Winterfell is involved in the lawsuit and become the protagonist?"
"How do you think the media will report then?"
Maori was speechless when asked, what Shoji Shingo said made sense, it was impossible for Winterfell Phantom Sun to let a person who wanted to kill others leave like this, and as long as he handed over people to the police, he would eventually be exposed by the media.
Yamazaki thought to himself, in fact, there is another way, that is, Winterfell Illusory Sun privately dealt with the person who wanted to kill him, the simplest is naturally to spend money to find someone to kill that person, usually the point is to design a series of traps, so that that person can live a life that is worse than death from now on, and there is no leisure to care about Winterfell Illusory Sun.
Shingo Shoji continued, "I would like to ask, Mr. Mori, have you ever heard of someone who has won the lottery more than once in a row?"
"Uh......" Maori continued to be speechless.
Minoru Hasegawa said: "That's right, those two accidents were just accidents, not man-made, just bad luck." ”
Chiaki Nakagawa said: "If Winter City doesn't call the police, there must be no evidence, and even if the police come, there is no way to arrest people." ”
Misa Uehara said: "He's suspicious, so I'll find a Maori detective for you." ”
Shoji Shingo said: "Then you will conclude from this that we are going to harm Dongyang, and we don't think about it at all, this may also be an accident." ”
"You have to understand that it is precisely because of the danger of this tank escape magic that the audience is willing to pay a lot of money to sit here and watch the show. ”
"What they watch is a magic show that ordinary people can't imitate, and only trained professional magicians can do it. ”
"No one wants to see the unexpected happen, but the unexpected happens. ”
The Dusk Police Department said: "Please don't be angry, the specific cause of this matter is exactly what we want to investigate, if it has nothing to do with you, it can just prove your innocence." ”
Shingo Shoji said, "Then, I hope you can hurry up, and if there is no evidence, please let us go back to rest as soon as possible." ”
"Of course, but please be patient. ”……
The investigation has reached an impasse, with no clues found and no progress made.
Soon after, the Asakusa Hall tripped, the lights went out, and it was completely dark.
"Ahh
In the blink of an eye, the lights came on again, but Conan's face darkened, because Lan actually turned on Hondo Yingyou, just like that time at the new teacher's house.
What made Yamazaki find even more interesting was that Officer Takagi actually knelt on the ground and hugged Officer Sato's waist.
"Ahh
Officer Takagi hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
But this is completely unbelievable, and there is a serious suspicion that he did it on purpose.
So, Officer Sato slapped him and pushed him away. ……
Soon after, the hospital called, and it was not found that Winterfell Illusory Yang had been hit by a tendon relaxant, and in addition, Winterfell Illusory Yang had been saved, but the specific situation still needs to be observed.
The Twilight Police Department said, "Okay, in that case, please go to the nearby police station with us to take notes, and we'll wait for Mr. Wintercity Phantom Sun to wake up." ”
"Mr. Shingo Shoji, Miss Chiaki Nakagawa, Miss Misa Uehara, Mr. Kazuma Ishida, and Mr. Minoru Hasegawa, I hope that you will not leave Tokyo in the last few days, otherwise I will suspect that you are on the run, and I can only ask you to go back and assist in the investigation as important suspects. ”……
Police station.
Yamazaki went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he met Shoji Shingo, and his heart moved, today's incident, if it was not an accident, but a murder, then the prisoner should be this Shoji Shingo.
Judging from the quarrel between him and Winterfell, he cares more about magic, and Winterfell's life is disorderly, and I'm afraid that all the time is used to socialize and have a girlfriend, I'm afraid there is not much time to ponder magic, and the one who really contributes should be Shoji Shingo.
Of course, it is undeniable that Winterfell has his charm, and those magic tricks will be improved into tricks suitable for his performance, and there must be no shortage of his ideas, and it cannot be ruled out that Winterfell Illusory Sun is a magically inspired genius.
It's okay to make an assumption, though. ……
After Shingo Shoji came out of the bathroom, Yamazaki reported his identity, "Hello, I'm an intern for Detective Maori, can I take a few minutes of your time?"
"Okay, what do you want to say?" Shoji Shingo agreed.
The two walked to the rooftop, and Yamazaki said, "Mr. Shoji, I just said directly, Winter City Phantom Sun is no longer in danger of life, I suggest that you better go and surrender to the police and fight for a reduced sentence." ”
Shingo Shoji asked, "Why did I turn myself in, did I do anything that misled you?"
Yamazaki said, "There are no clues to this incident, but I believe that you are the murderer, because only you, a magician, can do it seamlessly." ”
Shingo Shoji said, "I'm just a stage manager, and I haven't been a magician for a long time. ”
Yamazaki said: "The magic on this stage is mainly based on the trick of the eye, and it doesn't require much advanced magic skills, if I guess correctly, Mr. Shingo Shoji, you are the soul of this magic team." ”
Shoji Shingo was stunned, "Why do you say that?"
Yamazaki said, "Because you have the dedication and passion for magic that Mr. Winterfell does not have, and in Mr. Winterfell's eyes, magic is just a money-making tool. ”
"Mr. Winter City is not relying on magic skills, but just his handsome appearance, in his eyes, I am afraid that as long as it is a magic trick he performs, there will be people who will want to watch it, no matter what magic it is, even if it is just a simple ring. ”
Shingo Shoji was pleased, "Do you see it that way?"
Yamazaki said, "Yes, I see it that way, so you'd better turn yourself in, it should be a good deal to get a reduced sentence for the magic trick you like." ”
"That's all I have to say, you're doing it yourself. ”
Yamazaki left, and Shingo Shoji hesitated for a long time before going downstairs, and then surrendered to the Twilight Police Department.
The Twilight Police Department asked, "Mr. Shoji, you said that you moved your hand, so how did you move it?"
Shoji Shingo smiled: "It's actually very simple to put it bluntly, but if you don't put it bluntly, it can be said that it is magic, a magic that can fool everyone." ”
Shoji Shingo's method is very simple, using the water-absorbing and expanding properties of wood to make the plywood jam after absorbing water, and in order to avoid leaving marks, a metal ring that does not deform is used for the annular ring that meets the ankle.
It's not about one performance, it's about a certain one after many performances.
So, tonight, in full view of everyone, Shingo Shoji's magic trick succeeded.
"I see. Everyone was dumbfounded, and it really didn't occur to them that the mechanism was the opening and closing plate itself.
If he hadn't broken it and admitted it, even if he found out, it could only be said to be an accident, because as long as he said he didn't know, there was no evidence to prove that it was deliberate.
Shingo Shoji smirked, "This is an unprecedented magic trick. ”
The Twilight Police Department frowned and said, "Mr. Shoji, magic is an art to entertain the public, and you actually use it to kill people, not only are you not qualified to be a magician, but you are also not qualified to be a person." ”
Shingo Shoji said: "Officer, I'm not a child anymore, I think I'm more of a magician than Winterfell, although I may not be a magician full of justice, but I'm certainly not an evil magician, not the kind of inferior magician who intends to use dark and depraved methods to attract audiences, I don't regret attacking Winterfell." ”
The Twilight Police Department frowned, "I can't understand what you know about magicians, but I want you to know what you're doing. ”
Shingo Shoji nodded, "I'm willing to take responsibility for what I did." ”……
Later, Winterfell's Illusory Sun woke up, and Shingo Shoji was sentenced to three years for attempted intentional homicide.
