Chapter 128: Staircase Standby .jpg
The Junior Detective Corps followed the path Matsui pointed out and rushed into the monitoring room.
This should have been a dead end, but from the time he went out, until now, Conan has not seen the figure of the murderer Gomera.
He couldn't help but wonder if he had missed a fork in the road, and at this time, Ayumi suddenly pointed to the huge glass window and sighed, "How can there be people in the building?" ”
The other three followed her direction and saw Kamei standing in the pile of tall models, looking down impatiently, his body looking extremely large against the backdrop of the mini tall building.
Conan was stunned for a moment, "It's the producer, didn't he say something was wrong, why did he come back...... Yes! ”
In the dim light, behind Kamei, a hideous Gomera suddenly appeared.
It silently approached Kamei, and as the distance between the two shortened, Conan held his breath and had a bad feeling in his heart.
He couldn't help but jump up and bang on the window to warn Kamei of his back, but before that, there was a sudden clang at Gomera's feet, as if something had been knocked over.
Kamei was alarmed by this sound, and glanced back, and just as he turned around, Gomera suddenly accelerated, rushed forward, grabbed his shoulder with his left hand and pulled him closer to him, and held a knife in his right hand, and stabbed him through the heart.
“!!” , This murder came unexpectedly, and several children even forgot to scream, and they all looked at the model area in a daze, their eyes were dull, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Kamei was also stunned, and by the time he came back to his senses, his consciousness and intuition had already faded, and he was irreversibly turning into a corpse.
The dead silence lasted for an unknown amount of time, until Gomera took a step back and pulled out her knife, and time seemed to flow again.
With a muffled thud, Kamei's blood splashed from his chest, and the arrogant producer let out a weak scream and fell on his back.
Gomera glanced blankly in the direction of the surveillance room, then flicked his knife and ran towards one of the exits.
This escape finally touched Conan's detective nerves, and before his brain could fully react, the person had already slapped the alarm button on the wall, and then he pushed open the window, jumped out, and went straight to the scene of the crime.
A loud siren creaked and squeaked, and the other three children were shocked, but finally came back to their senses, and jumped out of the window to chase Conan's footsteps.
The tall model is slightly shorter than an adult, but it is enough to block out the view of a child.
Conan followed his memory and ran to Kamei's side to see if anyone could be saved, and after making sure that he was no longer saved, he gritted his teeth and got up to chase the murderer.
- When Gomera committed the murder, he accidentally kicked over the paint bucket on the ground and stepped on a paint footprint as he fled, making it easy for him to be tracked.
Following the footprints of paint, several children burst out of one of the doors and into the hallway.
At this time, the director and staff of the Gomera crew also ran out of the screening room when they heard the sound, and they stood in the corridor, looking at the footprints next to them suspiciously, not knowing what was happening.
It wasn't until Conan appeared that the eyes of the adults finally got focus.
"Who pressed the alarm? And, which of you knocked over the paint?! The rosacea uncle who managed the props thought it was a bear child making trouble, and his angry hair stood up.
"It's not a prank! Producer Kamei was killed by a man wearing a Gomera prop costume, right in the model area! Didn't you see the murderer when you came out?! ”
Conan explained, following the footprints and looking into the distance, and then he caught a thick tail around the corner.
His pupils narrowed, and he pointed over and shouted, "That's Gomera's tail...... Hurry up, he hasn't run far yet! ”
"What?" , Although I subconsciously looked at it, except for Dr. Asasa, everyone else actually didn't accept the fact that "there was a murder at the filming site", and they just thought it was a child talking nonsense.
Soon, however, they realized that something had happened.
- After following the point, there was no Gomera's tail around the corner of the hallway.
But soon, with a few successive muffled thuds, a whole Gomera stumbled back from the corner, its head covered, half of its body splattered with blood, the knife in its hand was cold, and blood droplets slowly slipped from it.
“…… What's going on? Who's in the prop suit?! Director Mikami was stunned, his eyes widened, he raised his hand to cover his heart, and his breath became heavier.
Dr. Asa flipped through the quick-acting heart pill and handed it to him, while skillfully calling the police, Conan was stunned for a few seconds, unscrewed the switch of the foot strength enhancement shoe, and ran to the murderer in a strange state, wanting to see what happened up close.
The other staff members were still hesitating, but when they saw the bear child approaching the knife-wielding murderer, they were afraid that something would happen, so they had to follow, and at the same time kept looking around, trying to find a reliable tool to use as a weapon.
However, this was not necessary, and even Conan's shoes did not come in handy - when Conan rushed closer, Gomera had slipped against the wall and fell to the ground, fainting with Venus in her eyes.
A humanoid shadow was cast on the ground by the corridor lamp, and Conan turned his head sharply as if he was aware of it, and saw Shiraki standing at the corner of the stairs, carrying a mop on his shoulder, looking down at Gomera, and there was a row of paint footprints on the stairs behind him, with his toes pointing forward, leading to the rooftop.
"......", Conan looked at Gomera dumbfounded, looked at the footprints, and then looked at the white tree, he didn't understand what was going on for a long time, and finally he could only boldly throw out his conjectures, "...... Did you knock him off the rooftop? ”
Otherwise, how can there only be footprints that go up and not come down...... It can't be two Gomera working together, and one is hiding on the rooftop.
No, it can't be, there should be only one person.
And just now, Gomera obviously retired on his own.
But the one-way footprints ......
"Tiantaikou? No, when I got here, he had just rushed to the top of the stairs. Bai Shu put on a puzzled face at the right time, and pointed at Gomera, "This person is strange, covered in blood, and carrying a knife, I was frightened, so I hit him a few times with a mop, and I was lucky to hit him at the vital point." ”
"......", Conan rolled his dead fish eyes, deciding not to ask about the authenticity of this 'coincidence', he pointed to the footprint on the stairs, "but ......"
"This was there before he came. I just wanted to help clean it up, so I got a mop. Bai Shu shook the mop rod confidently, and gestured to the ground with his other hand.
"Footprints appeared out of thin air from here, only a small section from here to the rooftop...... Isn't it true that you kids stole Gomera's feet and printed them indiscriminately? ”
"Before?" , Conan was stunned.
He looked at the rooftop, then at the steps leading downstairs, and after rethinking the whole incident, a conjecture began to take shape in his mind.
"I see...... He deliberately killed people in front of us, and pretended to accidentally step on the paint, probably to use the footprints arranged in advance to lead us to the rooftop, and he took off his prop clothes at the staircase, sneaked downstairs to dispose of the crime tools, and then used this time difference to create his own alibi, tsk, this plan ......"
Conan frowned and looked at Gomera who was fainting by the wall, with a complicated expression.
Although the prop suit had not yet been opened, he already vaguely knew who was inside.
……
Officer Twilight quickly arrived with his officers.
After seeing Conan and Shiraki, he immediately thought of Maori Kogoro, and instantly sighed, and his eyebrows subconsciously twisted into a ball.
However, after hearing that Mori Kogoro was not present and the suspect was caught red-handed, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that he finally didn't have to bother to solve any mysterious cases.
Matsui's murder plan failed to go smoothly, not only was he caught red-handed, but also left a lot of evidence, his mentality collapsed, and he told everything with a backwater.
Matsui will be murderous because after Kamei producers decided to stop filming Gomera, they spread rumors in the crew that Matsui was actually the person who wanted to stop filming Gomera the most.
But Matsui said that he was loyal to Gomera, his mind was full of Gomera, and he didn't want to stop filming at all, combined with various factors, he couldn't think about it for a while and killed Kamei.
Officer Twilight took it for granted to write down this strange reason for the killing, and brought the person and evidence back to the police station.
When this happened, the others lost their interest in visiting, and in the low mood of the staff, Dr. Asa took Shiraki and a few children out of the venue in embarrassment and sent them home.
Bai Shu carried the wilted vegetables and threw the tearful Kamei soul into the teleportation array, and his heart was happy, this trip to the door was finally not in vain.
