Chapter 68: The End of the Opera House (1)

At half past six in the morning, a little time before breakfast, Gao Cheng specially asked Arimori to help him find a crossbow in the theater, and he called the others to the restaurant in advance, deliberately vacating the seats of Takashima Yudai.

"Still haven't found ......" Arimori returned to the restaurant and found that everyone was stunned.

"I'm sorry for you," Gao Cheng nodded, "find a vacant seat and sit down, I have something to say before the meal." ”

Arimori looked at the only vacant seat hesitantly: "But this is the location of Eagle Island......

"It's okay, I'll change it later, let's sit down first."

After Gao Cheng watched Yousen sit down, he stood up and said in the curious eyes of everyone, "Everyone should know my identity, right?" I'm sorry, but I used the name Kanedaichi for personal reasons. ”

"Are you really the detective on TV? Looks like a high school student. ”

A few people in Xiandao still felt a little unbelievable when they saw the wooden knife Dongye Lake pinned to Gao Cheng's waist, and the celebrities on TV appeared beside them, and they had been treated as juniors before, and they felt really subtle.

Yousen's eyelids jumped, and then looked at Gao Cheng with a complicated expression, he had moved his hands and feet in front of Gao Cheng without knowing anything before, and he didn't know if he would show his stuffing.

"I'm not a strange person," Gao Cheng smiled at everyone's eyes, "Nanase and I were high school classmates, but after graduating from high school, I went to work as a detective, so everyone still treats me as the same Kaneda." ”

"Detective Joto," said Boss Kurosawa eagerly, "I heard Mr. Suwa mention you the other day, and I heard about Mr. Suwa's murder...... Now you've called us all here, are you......"

"What I'm going to talk about now is the plot of this murder and the true face of the prisoner Geyue." Gao Cheng looked around at the crowd.

Dr. Yuuki shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Detective, it sounds like you're famous in Tokyo, but isn't Utatsuki dead now?" And this girl called Eagle Island is okay too. ”

Kohashi Kenmi also followed closely to look at Gao Cheng, wondering what this detective who was about his age but was already famous said.

"The existence of Utsuki is just a cover-up," Gao Cheng continued, unmoved, "The day before we arrived here, the prisoner registered his stay in Utsuki's name, left the island quietly after leaving a message to prevent people from approaching the room, and then the next day he pretended to be idle and changed his identity and came to stay on the island again......"

"You mean the prisoner is in us?" Kobashi Ken's face changed slightly, "But how did he leave Kojima?" Besides, when Hidaka was killed, we were all in this restaurant, and you were the only one who didn't have an alibi. ”

"I think that suitcase should have been a rubber boat or something, as long as I can quietly leave the island," Gao Cheng paused, his gaze fell on Kobashi Kenmi, "As for Hidaka-senpai when she was killed, it was true that I was the only one who was not in the restaurant, but it was just a trap for the prisoner, and the purpose was to create an alibi." ”

"Trap?"

"The screams we heard were actually recorded by the murderer at the beginning, and they just recorded the screams of the senior sister in Hitachi yesterday during the rehearsal and played them on the stereo."

Gao Cheng didn't go to see Yousen, but reasoned and narrated in a deep voice.

In the evening, while everyone else was in the dining room, the prisoner lowered the curtain and called her to the stage to set the time for the screams in the sound room...... When we heard the screams, Hidaka Senpai should still be alive, but I didn't hear the screams from the speakers because of the stage curtain, which I have already experienced myself, and in the thick forging tent, Nanase's shouts could not be heard at all. ”

"Ah, that's why you didn't respond to me at that time?!" Nanase exclaimed as she remembered.

Gao Cheng nodded and continued to describe: "When everyone left the restaurant to look for Hidaka Senpai when they heard the screams, the prisoner went directly to the theater, and in order to cover up the possible movement caused by the killing of Hidaka Senpai, he first pressed the opening bell, and then cut the lighting steel cable to kill Hidaka Senpai, and finally raised the curtain and pretended to appear in the theater with everyone. ”

"How so? Was Hidaka still alive at that time......"

"What about Harumi Kiryu?" Ken Kobashi said with an ugly face, "What happened to Harumi Kiryu being killed?" ”

"I found a wire rope strangulation mark upstairs in Kiryu-senpai's room, that is, on the edge of the window of Hidaka-senpai's room......"

Gao Cheng's mind came to the image of Hidaka Ori and Kiryu Harumi on the way to the island, no matter how cute and beautiful the girl was, once she died, there was nothing, and all that was left was memories that could disappear at any time.

"There are still traces left on the window of Kiryu Senpai, last night the prisoner put a steel rope around the window there, and then made a phone call from Hidaka Senpai's room upstairs, and asked Kiryu Senpai to pull the steel rope as hard as she could after sticking her head out of the window, and just like that, she directly lassoed Kiryu's neck until she was hanged."

Gao Cheng continued, "After that, the prisoner used the steel rope to enter the room below, put on Kiryu's shoes, carry her under the tree, and then arrange everything as we saw it...... In order to imply that it was a crime committed by a strange person at the opera house, he even dressed up as a strange person and knocked on the Nanase window. ”

"And who is the murderer?" Kohashi Kenmi couldn't help but stand up and look directly at Xia Long, he was already frightened by the crime process as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and the extent of this kind of scene reproduction he couldn't imagine before.

"Don't move," Gao Cheng looked at the clock time in the restaurant, "Stay still, according to the murderer's script, there should be another incident next, and the murderer should stand up by himself when the time is up, don't move!" ”

"What's going on?" Immortal Daofeng broke out in a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice, "Will anyone still be killed?" ”

"I don't know about this, but the murderer should still kill one last time," Gao Cheng pretended to be serious, "Anyway, everyone must not move now, otherwise I don't know what will happen!" ”

After solving the mystery of the whole case, he didn't find any strong evidence, and in desperation, he could only find a way to let Yousen show his feet.

This breakfast time is the last chance......

The clock moved slowly, and everyone in the restaurant became more and more nervous, and the most dangerous Takajima Yuyo was not at all the same as the eldest lady at the beginning, with messy hair, arms clasped together, and a helpless and desperate look at Gao Cheng closely.

The others were also uncomfortable, especially Arimori, who was sitting in the position of Takashima Yuyo, who was like sitting on pins and needles, staring at the moving clock, in a cold sweat, only he knew that the crossbow arrow was facing his position now, and it would be fired as soon as the time came.

"Tick!"

10 minutes, 5 minutes...... As seven o'clock drew nearer, everyone's attention was focused on the minute and even second hands of the wall clock, and from time to time they nervously looked at the others around them, speculating about who the prisoner would be.

Arimori's mind was in a state of confusion under great pressure, and he pursed his lips and followed the second hand with his gaze.

"Boom!" As the first bell struck seven o'clock, Arimori tightened his body and threw himself from his chair to the ground.

"Knock ......"

The bells rang one after another, but the expected crossbow bolts were not fired, and Arimori stood up in surprise, greeted by everyone's surprised eyes.

"You're ...... Mori"

"That's right, the real prisoner is Senior Arimori, you can prove it yourself," Gao Cheng walked over to the doll with the crossbow mechanism and looked at the sweaty Youmori Dao, "There won't be any arrows, I've taken it out because it's too dangerous." ”

"What's going on? Detective Joto! Kohashi stood up puzzled.
