"Woo——!" Rapid sirens sounded outside the theater, and a long cordon was set up outside the venue, blocking the crowd outside.

"What's going on inside?"

"I heard that the detective killed someone, and it was the detective of the castle......"

"Has the prophecy come true again?"

"Terrible ......"

Aoyama, who has been in the society for several years, is a mystery fan, although he is busy with work all day, but as long as he has time, he will pay attention to Gao Cheng's news, and he knows a lot more about this young detective who is many years younger than himself, and he deeply admires it.

Especially those wonderful cases that I usually don't dare to think of, just a few words from the media can make Aoyama excited all day, and I wish I was the detective in the case, but unfortunately not every mystery fan has the talent to be a detective, and not every detective can be involved in murder as often as Gao Cheng.

However, he recently had a new plan, wanting to draw a mystery comic.

There were more and more people outside the cordon, and Aoyama vaguely heard the words "Detective of the Castle" and "Prophet", and then saw Officer Twilight and his subordinates enter the cordon with a solemn expression.

Of course he knows the "prophet", and the circle of mystery enthusiasts has been discussing it for the past few days, and I heard that it is relying on the collection of information to predict the murder, and it seems that he has also launched a challenge to the detectives of the city.

I don't know what happened to the theater, and he originally wanted to take advantage of the rare break to watch an illusion show, but unfortunately he was too busy with work and forgot to grab tickets.

How could a castle detective kill someone?

……

In the hall of the illusion show, despite the interruption of the performance, the audience could not leave, and sat in their places and looked at the stage one after another.

Twilight walked into the dressing room behind the stage with a shy stomach, and saw Gao Cheng, who was wearing a ronin costume, holding a katana in his hand, and a foreigner who was also wearing a costume lying in front of him, with a puncture wound in the abdomen, a large area of blood stained red, and there was no breath, and there was a katana full of blood on the ground next to him.

Click!

After the forensic personnel finished collecting evidence, Twilight officially entered the scene, and his brows tightened even more.

Listening to the confession, Gao Cheng actually became a murderer......

"What's going on?"

"That's it."

Gao Cheng also frowned, and his mind once again reviewed the before and after of the incident.

After the opening performance, the illusionist Andes actually chose him to assist on stage, and then within a few minutes of the cabaret performance, Andes took him backstage and asked him to change into this costume and prepare to perform a play, just like when he played the ronin trick in the Yamato drama, or even simpler, only need to perform two movements, slash and right stab.

Chopping is to show a fierce fight, just slash at the knife, the right stab is actually performing to kill the enemy behind the audience, generally TV dramas are like this, as long as the stab is caught by the opponent's arm, it looks like a hole through the body.

Such a task can be performed decently by any audience, and the illusion troupe probably prepared a support at the beginning, but he was selected on the spot.

After coming on stage, he also finished the performance well, Andean pretended that the show was over, and when he beckoned the audience to leave, he stabbed him from behind, and after Andean shouted and exited the stage, he scanned the audience coldly according to the script, and also chased Andean to exit the stage in the shouts of the audience.

That's all there is to it, and then I should change my clothes in the locker room and go back to the audience, or go on the stage with Andes to give a speech, and the magic show is also this routine, pretending that something happened and then shining on the stage.

But by the time he returned to the locker room, it had already become a sight in front of him.

Andes is really dead, but Gao Cheng is very sure that he is definitely just pretending to stab a sword, not to mention that the katana in his hand is just an ordinary prop, even if it is biased, it will only stab people at most, and the possibility of bleeding is very rare.

But the bloodstained katana next to the corpse was obviously a real knife with an open blade.

"Is that the case you came over?" Twilight's thick eyebrows twisted together.

Gao Cheng was the first to find the body, and the others rushed over a few minutes slowly, so they had time to dispose of the fingerprints on the murder weapon, and a few prop knives were placed in the locker room, and there was no way to prove whether the one in Gao Cheng's hand was the one used for performance.

"But Brother Joto," Twilight asked, one head with two heads, "and the audience testified that you killed Mr. Andes, and saw you leave with the murder weapon......"

"Please, Officer Twilight," Gao Cheng didn't panic about becoming a suspect, and held his chin to clear his thoughts, "That's just a show, and besides, isn't my knife bloodless?" A prop knife can't make such an injury......"

"The police department," Takagi said distressedly as he returned to the scene, "and checked with the audience in the front row to confirm that Joto had indeed stabbed Mr. Andes in the back when he left the arena, and he clearly saw the bloody ......."

"Brother Joto."

Ayumi also followed to the backstage and surrounded Gao Cheng with a worried face.

"Brother Joto doesn't kill people, does he?"

"It's a show, it must be a show," the fat man Yuantai looked like he was palpitating, because he was sitting in the first row, and he really jumped, "Isn't this an illusion show?" What everyone sees must be hallucinations! ”

"But now people are really dead......

Conan also trusted Gao Cheng, but after seeing the corpse in the locker room, his brows were still furrowed.

If you don't consider other factors, just from the scene, Gao Cheng is too suspicious......

"It's true that the stage is fake, otherwise it would be impossible for there to be no drop of blood on it," the high-cost man was very calm, and Xiao Ai looked at each other and smiled, "Actually, illusion is to beautify on the basis of the performance, it looks like the real thing, do you really see blood on the knife?" ”

"Well," Ayumi nodded hurriedly, "Ayumi really saw it, but she didn't dare to look at it later......"

"There's really no blood on stage," Twilight said with a headache behind her back, "but if the old brother is performing, who is the murderer?" It's only a minute or two, isn't it suicide......"

Twilight didn't think that Gao Cheng would be a murderer, there was no motive at all, and the props were prepared by the illusion troupe.

This murder was either Gao Cheng's mistake and murder, or the Andean suicide, he really didn't want Gao Cheng to be the former all the way, and the lack of blood on the stage made him feel a little relieved, but there were still many problems.

Where did the real knife come from?

"It's not a suicide," Gao Cheng, as a suspect, couldn't get close to the body, but still tried to observe the scene, "Even if you fix the katana and hit it with your back, the angle won't be so accurate, and you have to pull out the knife and throw it aside......"

Gao Cheng groaned, thinking about it and began to restore the crime scene.

He was only a minute or two behind when he left the stage in Andes, and it was in the middle of this that the murderer should have attacked Andes from behind, with a fatal knife, fast and accurate, and then directly covered Andean's mouth and nose and pushed into the dressing room just at the entrance of the aisle, and finally drew a knife to escape.

Being able to grasp the time so accurately, the members of the illusion group are undoubtedly the most suspicious......

However, the biggest problem is not this, but prophecy.

On the surface, the "prophet" actually succeeded in predicting again, and is it still the so-called information gathering?

actually calculated on him, and he was really bold......
