Chapter 296: Genius Magician and Genius Criminal
"The key is the jade rough in the hotel room."
Gao Cheng's gaze swept over everyone one by one.
"I believe everyone knows that every room is decorated with jadeite rough stones, but the jadeite in the victim's room Miss Xihai has disappeared...... I had already gone downstairs to check just now, and the disappeared jade appeared in Miss Xihai's downstairs room......"
"Maybe it's been ...... before"
"No, I have already asked Xiao Ai to ask the room attendant, she had just entered the room not long before the crime, and the jade was indeed in Miss Xihai's room at that time," Gao Cheng affirmed, "Inferring from the time, the one who took this jade rough from Miss Xihai's room and brought it to the room directly below is the murderer of Xihai!" ”
"The murderer moved the jade?" Twilight was surprised, "But why did he do that?" ”
"That's why I said that the murderer made a fatal mistake," Gao Cheng paused to explain, "For the murderer, it was completely unexpected for the waiter in the corridor to hear the screams of Yumi, and what was even more troublesome was that we also arrived...... The murderer, who was in a hurry to escape, had no choice but to use the seesaw principle......
"Tie the body of Yuhai with a rope and put it downstairs, then go around the rope near the window to get a branch, and then drag the rope to the ground safely like an elevator...... However, when he was ready to escape, the murderer found out that he did not have the conditions to use this technique - the murderer weighed less than Yumi! ”
"Is it difficult?" Twilight and the others looked at Takato Harukichi with a stunned expression.
"That's right," Gao Cheng looked directly at Koto Harukichi who wanted to defend himself, "the murderer of the head of the mountain god, Yurama, Miss Yumi, and even the murderer of Tokitsu Junya, the hell puppeteer is you-Takato Harukichi!" ”
"Detective Joto," Takato swallowed and said anxiously, "Wait, suddenly say that......"
"Using the seesaw technique, the weight must be heavier than the corpse," Gao Cheng continued, "Mr. Gao Yuan, in your haste, you instinctively felt that as a man, you must be heavier than a woman, but when it came to the end, you realized that you didn't weigh enough, so you chose about 5 kilograms of jadeite rough, right?" ”
"Wait, wait...... Gao Yuan said aggrievedly, "Even if I only weigh about 50 kilograms, which is lighter than Miss Xihai, I can't just say that I am a murderer, when the body of the head of the mountain god was found on the train, wasn't I with you?" Moreover, the corpse disappeared immediately after that, right? I can't be a murderer, someone must have framed me......"
"Didn't I say that?" Gao Cheng looked at Gao Yuanyaoyi, who was still acting, "I have solved all the puzzles, including the mystery of the disappearance of the corpse of the head of the mountain god, of course...... Although the train won't arrive until tomorrow morning, it's impossible to experiment, but it's okay to talk about it, the key is those balloons and roses in the box, once you say it's open, the magic is actually very simple......"
"But Joto," Twilight wondered, "you've seen that too, what tricks do you have to use to make the corpse invisible?" ”
"The first is the psychological suggestion that is common in magic."
Gao Cheng looked at the anxious Twilight and smiled: "Now think about it, what did the prisoner do before letting us see the corpse?" Yes, a few phone calls, first planted the impression of bombs and roses in our hearts, so when we saw the corpse in the box, we were not surprised that there were roses and balloons at the scene, and even subconsciously associated with bombs...... What if there is smoke at the scene at this time, and someone suddenly shouts a 'bomb'? ”
"Psychological suggestion?" Zuo Jinji spat out a cigarette, "It's true that it's a common technique in magic, but what does this have to do with the disappearance of the corpse?" ”
"It's enough to stop us from entering the carriage and buy a little time to hide from the crowd," Gao Cheng glanced at the frivolous Zuojin Temple Road, "The second key to completing the vanishing magic trick is to deceive the eyes, deceive...... Because they didn't get close, everyone subconsciously thought that what was lying in the box was the corpse of the head of the mountain god. ”
"Huh?" Zuo Jinsi was stunned, "Didn't you say that there were corpses inside?" ”
"That's what the murderer was for, how can it really look like a corpse, but what if there was no body in the box in the first place, only a head and a cloak?"
"What?"
"It's a balloon, it's just a balloon under the cloak instead of the body, and the appearance of the body is tied up, and you can't notice it if you don't look closely, not to mention that everyone is attracted by the head of the mountain god leader......"
Gao Cheng took the props brought by Xiao Wai and the waiter, and the puppet's head also had a "corpse" composed of balloons and cloaks.
"Then it's simple, just take advantage of the chaos in the toilet next to the box to pull the head and cloak with a rope, the balloons on the body will be punctured by the rose thorns all over the ground, and the broken balloon fragments will all be mixed together, which is the real reason why there are so many balloons in the box, because if only the balloon fragments in the cloak are left, this technique is easy to see......"
Gao Cheng raised his hand and threw the "corpse" to Gao Yuanyaoichi: "Am I right, Mr. Gao Yuan?" ”
Gao Yuanyao was silent for a while, then suddenly grabbed his hair helplessly, and chuckled: "I really convinced you, the reasoning is wonderful, but what about the body part of the corpse?" Suppose that, as you said, there is only the head of the regiment commander's corpse in the box, where did the body go?
"When I found the head of the regiment in the hotel room, the head and body were together, you must know that we were all subjected to strict luggage inspection when we got off the train, in that case, it was impossible to transport the body out, I didn't take anything but a shoulder bag, just such a small bag, how can I take the body out of the train?"
"That's why you killed Shi Jin, right?" Gao Cheng interrupted in a deep voice, "I think he may have discovered the secret of your transfer of the body, yes, the bomb riot is not only to set a trap in the heart, but also an indispensable part of the transfer of the body, you use a certain method, you don't have to do it yourself, you can send the body to this hotel......"
Gao Yuanyao's chuckling face dripped: "I'm just a manager, I can't do this kind of exaggerated technique like you said, this kind of magician can do." ”
"Really? In my opinion, you are such a terrible magician, you are performing a death magic trick," Gao Cheng continued, "The body part of the corpse was not on the train in the first place, and of course there was no need to take it out of the train, as early as when the train stopped at the freight station due to the bomb riot, you took the opportunity to transfer to the truck on the other side and sent it to the hotel as luggage for express mailing. ”
"Van?"
"At that time, in order not to be involved in the explosion, all the staff on the truck evacuated, and as long as they had mailed the same luggage bag as the body bag in advance, they could drop it at that time...... In the end, the corpse was sent to the hotel as ordinary luggage, and it was sent to Tozune, the tenant you made up. ”
Gao Cheng paused, and looked at Gao Yuanyaoyi, who was silent: "As for the head of the mountain god, you put it in your shoulder bag and took it off, right?" You took advantage of the magician's anti-psychological trap and actively pestered Officer Twilight, opening your bag to check the itinerary by yourself at random and with ulterior motives......"
"I see," Detective Hakuba looked at Gao Yuanyao, "The magician will put what he doesn't want the audience to see, where he can see but is not noticeable, which is to capture the psychology of the audience who cares about what is hidden, the so-called dark under the lamp...... So much magic was used in this incident. ”
"All these tricks can only be done by Mr. Gao Yuan," Gao Cheng turned to Gao Yuan Yao again and asked, "Do you still say that you were framed, Mr. Gao Yuan?" ”
"Ahh......h You're right, I did make a big mistake, and it was you who really needed to be killed, not the high school detective named Tokitsu......"
"You killed Shi Jin is ......"
"He happened to see me going to the van with my duffel bag and guessed what to do......"
Gao Yuan paused and looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously.
"You can only score 75 points on that boring test, how can you see through my methods? Who the hell are you? ”
"Huh? You don't know him? Twilight was stunned, "Brother Joto is now one of the best detectives in Japan!" ”
"Japan's Detective?"
As soon as Gao Yuanyao took off his glasses, his whole temperament changed, and he was no longer like the timid and fearful manager of the magic troupe, who just looked at Gao Cheng unexpectedly as if he was half appreciative.
"It's normal that I haven't heard of it when I've been abroad, but I didn't see it at first sight, and I was tricked...... You're still the first ...... in these years."
Gao Cheng said in a deep voice: "Are you admitting that you are a murderer?" ”
"That's right, I'm the puppeteer of hell," Gao Yuanyao said with a smile, "Once a magician's magic is seen through by the audience, it will quickly fall on its own, this is a famous magician's teaching to me, there is nothing to say......"
"A magician?" Gao Cheng closed his eyes, "There is only one thing I don't understand, it should be easier to kill people with your ability, why take such a big risk to send a threatening letter, and perform magic tricks on the train......"
"It's boring to just kill someone, isn't it?" Gao Yuanyao said as a matter of course, "As a magician, to perform an artistic crime that is as beautiful as a perfect magic trick, full of mysteries and strange phenomena, of course, the audience must be perfect ......"
Zuo Jinsi's face stiffened, and he clenched his teeth: "Are you really a magician?" What the hell is going on? Gao Yuan, who are you? Why kill the regimental commander? ”
"I'm afraid it's for the revenge of Reiko Konmiya five years ago," Gao Cheng answered, "Is it because Reiko Konmiya stained red and white roses with blood at the murder scene?" ”
"Exactly," Gao Yuanyao squinted his eyes and smiled at Zuo Jinji, "I am the genius magician you killed, the only son of Reiko Konmiya!" It's the orthodox heir to the magic note that you took away from Reiko Konmiya! ”
"How, how is that possible?" Zuo Jinsi's expression was distorted, "I've never heard that the teacher has children!" ”
"Nothing is impossible, I do have the blood of the peerless genius magician Reiko Konmiya in my body, and even I myself knew about it five or six years ago."
Gao Yuanyao maintained a chilling smile on his face.
"Two years ago, I happened to see the magic performed by the Fantasy Magic Troupe, and found that the so-called original magic that was quite popular was exactly the same as the magic on the magic note left by my mother, in order to confirm this matter, I entered the Fantasy Magic Troupe as a manager, I thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect these mother's disciples to say that they leaked their mouths, and the rest is how to clean up these lambs, and it is of course perfect to send these lambs to the stage of death with perfect magic......"
"Hey," Zuojinji shouted, "when are you going to let this murderer go?" Take him away, Mr. Policeman! ”
"Zuojin Temple," Gao Cheng looked at Zuojin Temple quietly, "Can you please tell me about the incident five years ago?" ”
"No, you also believe the words of the murderer," Zuojinji smiled and took out a notebook, "Why did I kill the teacher...... It's true that magic is not original to us, but this is the ...... that the teacher gave me."
"Left near the temple!"
"What? I did go to the ceiling before the teacher, but what does that mean? There's no evidence at all, right? ”
"Got it? That's pathetic human nature. Gao Yuan took the notebook in Zuo Jinsi's hand and looked through it, and was suddenly stunned, "Mr. Zuojinsi, can you give me this notebook?" After all, it's also a relic of my mother......"
"Take whatever you want," Zuo Jinsi said with a smile, "Anyway, I have all the content in my head, this thing is useless!" ”
"That's right," the corners of Takato's mouth twitched slightly, turning to Twilight, "Let's go, Mr. Policeman." ”
Gao Cheng looked thoughtfully at Gao Yuan, whose attitude suddenly changed.
In any case, this serial murder case is over, and it would be better if Gao Yuanyao was willing to confess his guilt, but this Zuo Jinji ......
"Huh?" Gao Cheng suddenly found that the White Horse Detective didn't know what to lose his figure.
On the 3rd floor of the hotel, Gao Cheng pushed the door in, and suddenly a gust of air rushed in from the open window, and while the curtain was lifted, the white cloak also flew with the wind.
Gao Cheng looked at Kidd by the window with a blushing face: "Sure enough, it's you, and you came all the way here......"
"I was just here to watch a magic show, but this amazing thing happened," Kidd smiled as he tugged at the brim of his hat, "I really don't want to touch you if I could......"
"You knew about it five years ago?" Gao Cheng said solemnly.
"I know, I just didn't expect it to be like this," Kidd jumped up the window and turned around, "I'm afraid that the left temple will not end up well, what are you going to do?" ”
Gao Cheng frowned slightly, Gao Yuan's attitude changed after reading the notes, there must be something wrong.
"Is there something wrong with that magic notebook?"
"Who knows?" Kidd jumped downstairs and flew away.
"Forget it," Gao Cheng scratched his head, "Gao Yuan has confessed, and what to do is the police's business, so I don't bother to care." ”
……
The next morning, the train arrived at the Dead Bone Station on time, and Twilight went to the platform with Takato with a serious face, obviously still haunting Zuojinji.
"Brother Chenghu, where's Hakuba-san?"
"Uh, I guess I want to stay for a few days......"
Gao Cheng smiled dryly and touched the back of his head, and suddenly stiffened when his gaze turned to Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan smiled faintly and said: "Actually, you are the same as me, whether you get a sense of mission from solving puzzles or get pleasure from deceiving others, a detective and a perfect crime are only one step away......"
"I might be going to disappoint you," Gao Cheng interrupted with a smile, "A fool like me who only scored 75 points on the 'boring test' is okay to solve the case, and he will definitely not be able to think of the perfect criminal method, so he can only be a detective." ”
"Stupid?" Gao Yuanyao was surprised for a while, waved his hand and followed the Hokkaido police into the car, "Good luck, detective-kun, see you goods." ”
