Chapter 137: Inu-Feeding Detective
The accident happened in an instant, and the scene was blown up by the impact, and when everyone in the audience reacted, Hattori had already rushed out of the set and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the leading actor Sakuraba Reiichi also fell in pain by the stove and hugged his head and wailed.
"Face! My face! Uhh ”
"Reichi! Rite one! ”
"Heiji!" Kazuha cried and rushed to Hattori's side, "Heiji, wake up!" Peaceful! ”
"How so?" The director was dizzy for a while, rubbing his temples and not daring to look at the set room, the crew had constant problems, and now such a serious accident has happened.
"Ambulance! Call an ambulance! ”
Gao Cheng struggled to stand up, yelled at the people outside, and looked at the scene of the explosion with a calm face.
Dust explosion ...... This is definitely not an accident!
Kyoto Hospital.
Hattori had gauze wrapped around his head, still in a coma, and Ye worriedly stayed aside to listen to the doctor's explanation.
"The impact on the patient was not too great, and there were no burns, mainly bumps...... May I ask? The patient seems to have been kicked unconscious, what the hell happened? ”
"Kick, kick unconscious?"
"Because there are still obvious footprints on the buttocks......"
Gao Cheng covered his forehead and tiptoed out of the ward while He Ye was not paying attention.
He doesn't have a big problem with Hattori, but the protagonist Sakuraba Reiichi is estimated to be choked enough, and I'm afraid this accident is mainly for the leading actor......
"You're the one, aren't you?" The actress who removed her makeup, Momoka Hayashihara, also arrived at the hospital and walked towards Gao Cheng menacingly, "Since you can save people, why don't you save Liyi?!" ”
Gao Cheng looked at this high-spirited woman like a hedgehog inexplicably.
Is there any mistake?,On the one hand, it's Hattori, whose relationship is okay.,On the other hand, it's just a stranger.,I want to know who to save......
Shaking his head, Gao Cheng didn't want to pay attention to this kind of shrew, turned around and walked to the lobby waiting area and sat down.
"What is your attitude? It's just a small character! ”
Lin Yuan Momoka was even more angry, but there was nothing she could do with Gao Cheng, so she walked to the examination room on the other side angrily, and Fumiko Sugita, who also came to visit the actor, immediately became a punching bag.
"Why are you here? You're over with Reiichi, aren't you? What are you doing at the hospital?! ”
"I'm just worried about Sakura-kun." Fumiko Sugita said in a low voice.
"I'm so embarrassed to say, you actually want to make peace with him, okay?" Momoka Hayashihara sneered, "It's shameless that my ex-boyfriend wants to turn back when he starts to become popular!" ”
"How could it be ......?"
"You're just a small supporting character, and you don't deserve him at all!"
Sakura Tingli had a medical patch on his face and hurried to the hall: "You two don't quarrel, I heard it in the examination room." ”
"What, how do you say that?" Hayashihara Momoka's face softened, and she greeted Sakuraba Reiichi with a gentle look, "The ...... people specially followed you to the hospital?"
"It doesn't matter what you hurt, right?" Fumiko Sugita said worriedly.
"It's nothing to hurt," Sakuraba Reiichi ignored Hayashihara and walked directly to Fumiko Sugita, "but it's a little troublesome for the actor......"
"What will happen to the characters? You finally got the main character. Fumiko Sugida handed Sakuraba Reichi her coat like a wife.
"Whether you can continue filming or not, you have to listen to the director's meaning again......"
"Humph!" Lin Yuan Momoka's face turned cold, "What protagonist, if it weren't for me, do you think someone would take care of you?" You're just two little characters that no one wants, so let's make out slowly! ”
Lin Yuan Momoka stomped her feet, turned away angrily, and glared at the lively Gao Cheng fiercely as she left.
"Inexplicable woman ......"
"I'm sorry," Fumiko Sugita looked apologetically at Gao Cheng, "it's all to blame for making her angry." ”
"It's nothing," Gao Cheng smiled, "If you don't have filming, you can come to Tokyo to ask me for help, although I am not in your circle, but I also know some directors and producers in Tokyo, and I should be able to say a few words." ”
"Huh?" Sugita and the two glanced at each other, looking at Gao Cheng, who was like a high school student in front of them, in surprise.
"Why don't you go to Tokyo? Why ......"
The two of them had strange expressions.
A casual trick, I heard that the director was so annoyed that he agreed to Gao Cheng's performance and really chose the team, and his status was lower than the two of them...... Is there a way to mix it up like this?
Sakura Tingli was suspicious on his face, he didn't believe that Gao Cheng would know the director and investors, and said disappreciatively: "Let's talk about it later, we have to go back quickly, otherwise I don't know what Momoka will say to the director." ”
Gao Cheng silently watched the two leave.
He also has to investigate this accident well, the dust explosion is not small, if he doesn't react in time, I'm afraid it will become a murder.
I don't know if the main target is Sakuraba Reiichi, but the murderer even counted Hattori and him, which is really ruthless.
……
Kyoto Taimaki Photography Office, "Ryoma's Holiday" photography waiting area, Momoka Hayashihara, as a popular idol, has a separate lounge, and an ordinary-looking supporting actor Ryuji Iwasaki sneaked over here, looked around, and knocked on the wooden door in a low voice: "Miss Momoka, I have something to tell you......"
In the supervision room, the film director, who is also the film director and assistant director, has been here since the accident, and the ashtray on the table is full of cigarette butts, but the director still keeps lighting a cigarette.
"As long as Miss Momoka is there, this kind of movie can still be saved...... Yes, yes, I know, it's fine. ”
After receiving the call from the producer, the director smiled as if he was fine, but he hung up the phone, and his face immediately sank.
"What an idiot producer......"
Putting away the phone scolding, the director turned to the assistant superintendent in a daze: "Tanaka, where is Momoka?" ”
Assistant Superintendent Tanaka came back to her senses: "After returning from the hospital, she has been locking herself in the waiting room. ”
"Here it is again, every time I am in a bad mood, I lock myself up," the director paused, lit a cigarette and looked at the assistant in front of him, "Tanaka, you go and see how she is." ”
"Got it."
The assistant superintendent nodded, and left the room for the waiting room under the director's gaze.
Gao Cheng happened to go back to the studio, saw the assistant director, and hurriedly asked, "That, what will happen to this movie?" ”
"If this kind of thing happens, we can only stop it first," the assistant superintendent couldn't take care of Gao Cheng, "I'll talk about it later." ”
"Oh."
Gao Cheng re-entered the set room and checked the scene of the incident.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a windbreaker followed Fumiko Sugita into the studio, and when he saw Gao Cheng walking around the scene of the incident, he hurriedly shouted: "Hey, who are you?" ”
"He's a castle," Fumiko Sugita explained, "and he's a victim at the time of the explosion......
"Ahh Without waiting for Sugita to explain clearly, the middle-aged man looked at Gao Cheng in surprise and said, "You're not the Okita Soji of Kyoto High School?" I've seen your school's kendo competitions! ”
"Soji Okita?"
Gao Cheng was stunned, shook his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm not Okita Soji, but the famous detective Kindo Takatari from Tokyo." ”
"Detective Joto Gaocheng?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised, took out the police manual and said, "I'm Kyoto Prefecture police dog Genichi, and now I'm in charge of this attempted homicide, so I'll leave it to our police next, can I ask you a few questions?" ”
"Huh?" Gao Cheng was slightly stunned.
"Although you are also a victim, I heard that you seem to have foreseen the danger at the time." Inukai said with a little suspicion in his tone,
"It's not a foresight, it's just a temporary reaction."
"Temporary reaction, your reaction is really fast enough."
The Inukai criminal police glanced at Gao Cheng and carefully checked the situation at the scene.
Except for the tattered paper windows, nothing special was found......
"I can't find any traces of a gas leak or any kind of explosives, but how did it cause the explosion?"
Officer Inukai frowned, took out a note and continued to ask Gao Cheng, "I heard that this threatening letter was put in the background beforehand, and it seems that the target of the murderer is Mr. Sakuraba, do you know anything about this?" ”
"I don't know," Gao Cheng read the threatening letter spelled out in cutouts, and said helplessly, "Officer, you shouldn't doubt me, right?" It's only been a day or two since I've been here in Kyoto, and I didn't know Mr. Sakuraba before, so there's no conflict, so I wonder if there's a limit. ”
"But the explosion is really strange."
"Not surprising at all."
Gao Cheng squatted down and touched the powder in the stove: "In the final fight, the actors need to fight in the dust raised, which should have been fine, but someone replaced the ordinary dust with flammable wheat flour, and the sparks of the prop knife caused the dust explosion." ”
"Dust explosion? Can wheat flour also explode? The Inukai detective said confusedly.
"A dust explosion is a violent explosion caused by the combustion of flammable dust floating in the air, and the power is quite amazing under certain conditions, and there must have been many cases in Japan."
Gao Cheng looked at this criminal policeman speechlessly, although he didn't know much about the specific principle, but at least he had heard it, this criminal policeman was so old that he didn't know.
"In short, the murderer in this case should be someone who knows that prop knives will produce sparks, and at the same time knows that actors are going to fight in a dusty environment."
"Do you know who the killer is?" Inukai is in good spirits.
"How is that possible? It's just that there are a few suspicious candidates," Gao Cheng looked at Miss Sugita on the side, "The most suspicious is Miss Momoka, emotional problems are considered motives, she and Mr. Sakuraba seem to have had a fight before the incident, and the other is ......"
"That's right," Inukai affirmed without waiting for Gao Cheng to finish speaking, "The prisoner must be Momoka!" Where is she now? ”
Sugita said uncertainly, "It seems to be in the waiting area, because she often likes to be locked up in the lounge alone......"
"Good! I'm going to find her! ”
Inukai couldn't wait to go backstage, seeing that Gao Cheng had a headache, he hadn't finished speaking.
Compared to in Kanto, his reputation as a detective really doesn't work well in Kansai......
In the backstage waiting area, the door of Lin Yuan's Momoka lounge was closed, and the assistant superintendent did not respond for a long time.
"Miss Momoka!" The assistant superintendent slammed the door a few times and shouted impatiently, "Miss Momoka! Is it good to open the door?! ”
"What's wrong?" Inukai, who rushed here, wondered, "I'm a Kyoto Prefectural police Inukai, did something happen?" ”
"It's nothing," said the assistant superintendent embarrassedly, "it's just that Miss Momoka is locked up in the waiting room and won't come out......"
Inukai walked to the door and pushed, but the door couldn't be opened at all, and there was no response inside: "Is she really inside?" ”
The assistant overseer affirmed, "The door is bolted from the inside, and there is only this exit in the room, so it must be inside." ”
"There's no way," Inukai took a few steps back and called out to everyone, "only to break in, everyone crash away!" ”
"Bang!"
Gao Cheng followed behind, watching the door be knocked open, and as a hanging figure appeared in the field of vision, his eyes tightened.
"What?!"
Dressed in a patterned blue kimono with his hair loose, he was hung from a beam with his back to the door.
Gao Cheng walked into the room past the exclamations and confirmed that it was Lin Yuan Momoka himself, his eyes closed, as if he was still alive, but he had indeed become a cold corpse.
"Actually dead......
Gao Cheng's gaze swept around and landed on the white costume and shoes.
Suicide actually took off his shoes, and the bottom of the undershirt was too clean......
Not a suicide, but a case of murder in a closed room.
Gao Cheng's eyelids throb.
"It's supposed to be suicide!" Inukai affirmed, "This is a secret room bolted from the inside, and if there are anyone else, I shouldn't be able to get out......"
"Officer, I don't think it's a suicide," Gao Cheng stared at the scene closely, "Miss Momoka was killed!" ”
"What?" Inukai said with a dissatisfied face, "There is only one exit here, and the door is bolted with an iron rod, after killing her, how can the murderer escape?" ”
"Maybe it's a trick in some way......"
"What's the solution? No matter how you look at this situation, it's suicide! ”
"If it's suicide......"
"Definitely suicide!" Inukai pulled away Gao Cheng and said impatiently, "What kind of detective from Tokyo is just a layman, and handling the case is our policeman's business, so don't interfere and go out." ”
Gao Cheng wanted to say all the words he wanted to say, and he wanted to explain but was directly driven out of the scene by the indog-fed criminal police.
"Damn, if only Officer Twilight......"
After a while, because the situation escalated into a murder, several police cars came over, and Lin Yuan Momoka's body was also taken away by the police, and Gao Cheng could only watch from the side.
There is no way, after all, a detective is just a detective, and he has no rights and obligations to handle cases.
"That hateful old man, he doesn't know that the dust explosion is okay, and he is still so self-righteous!"
Seeing the police car leave, Gao Cheng rubbed his temples with a headache.
I can only think of some more way, otherwise this time I will really close the case by committing suicide by Lin Yuan Momoka.
In the crew's dressing room, the Inukai criminal police have gathered the people on this side of the studio.
"Suicide?" Sakuraba Reiichi was puzzled, "But, why did Momoka commit suicide?" ”
"I guess it was an explosion from the previous shooting," Inukai explained, "and the explosion wasn't an accident, but an attempted homicide!" ”
"Attempted murder?"
Everyone looked at Inukai in surprise: "What's going on?" ”
"In other words," Inukai said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back, "it was a deliberate floating dust explosion......
"Floating dust explosion?"
Gao Cheng patted his forehead, he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he simply left quietly and went to the waiting area.
Now the only way to convince Inukai is to find out how the murderer created the secret room.
Lin Yuan Momoka lounge, the police have left after the search, no one stopped Gao Cheng from investigating, he stood again to the place where Lin Yuan Momoka hanged himself and observed the whole room.
Inukai is right to say that the lounge is an imitation of an ancient warehouse, with no exit at all except for two doors that can be latched from the inside, and the high windows are also completely fixed wooden bars.
