"There should be more than one prisoner, right?"

Amuro intervened and inspected the scene at the same time as Okiya.

The body of Hatoludo was hung about 2 to 3 meters high, rope passed through the spotlight iron beam above the stage, and the other end was tied to the seats in the first row of the auditorium.

"If this is a man, then his strength is really great, what do you think, Mr. Okiya?" Amuro turned to look back at Okiya, "The last time I met you, I had already seen your remarkable reasoning skills. ”

"Where, where," Okiya said quietly, squinting his eyes, "I'm just a lab that likes reasoning, and I was lucky enough to learn a few tricks from the Joto detectives." ”

"Oh?" Amuro said with a smile, "That's a coincidence, I also learned a lot from Maori teachers." ”

On the surface, in addition to working at Poirot's Cafe, Amuro is also the apprentice of Maori Kogoro, and this time he meets Okiya at the scene of the murder, which is like a confrontation between two coffee shops or two detective agencies.

Of course, Amuro didn't learn anything from Mori Kogoro, and Okiya Pleiades was not Gao Cheng's apprentice at all, this guy stayed in the Joto Detective Agency to protect his sister-in-law, and to some extent even guard against Gao Cheng.

inexplicably took in a little girl, and it felt a bit like that to outsiders.

However, the sister-in-law seems to be determined to stay in the office, but she is quite defensive against him.

Thinking of Xiao Wai, Okiya was full of guilt in his heart.

Akemi's death has nothing to do with him, so he hasn't confessed his identity so far, although Xiao Ai already has some suspicions......

"How's it going?" Gao Cheng walked behind Okiya Pleiades.

"Ah," Okiya said, after a pause, "something seems to have been drilled into the rope on this side of the seat." ”

"Holes?"

Gaocheng attaches an inspection seat.

Not only the rope, but also the seat itself has friction marks.

He had seen the entire venue just now, and just like Toru Amuro said, one person didn't have the same strength as he could lift the waves, but on the other hand, if it wasn't for one person, there would be no strange traces left on the scene.

At first glance, it seems like a normal murder scene, but there are a lot of superfluous details.

Gao Cheng's gaze swept across the stage.

Folding chairs, rolled-up ropes, toolboxes, and a baseball with kite strings tied to the auditoriums were placed on the side.

His judgment was that there was only one prisoner who had suspended Potu's body for 2 to 3 meters......

……

At around 6:30 p.m. after the incident, Twilight walked to the front of the stage with his hands behind his back, and Takagi explained in the back.

"The one who was killed was the rock singer Potulo, 39 years old, who had planned to hold a concert here tomorrow, but tonight it was a rehearsal, and before the rehearsal, Mr. Potu kicked the others out and wrote the lyrics alone......"

"What is the estimated time of death?"

"Judging by the degree of corpse spots, stiffness, and dilated pupils, he should have been dead for one to two hours, that is, between 4:30 and 5:30."

Takagi followed closely behind Twilight, who had felt that Twilight was not too good since he had beaten him last time.

"According to the agent, Mr. Potu was alone at the venue about two hours ago."

"That is, someone sneaked into the venue and hanged him during this time," Twilight said in a deep voice, crouching in front of the body, looking up at the top of the stage, "The rope was passed through the iron pole with the spotlight installed, probably using a machine that installed a heavy curtain......

"I don't think so," Amuro interrupted, "the special equipment used to install the curtain was placed in the locked room, and the staff who had the keys at the time of the crime were all kicked out for dinner early. ”

"Huh?" Takagi was stunned, "Didn't you use a machine to hang people up?" ”

"Yes, there must be several people, and it would be almost impossible for one person to do it without installing pulleys on the iron frame beams, and it would be very difficult for even a very fat man to use his own weight to lift Mr. Poto up and pull the rope to the audience by himself......"

Amuro said with a glance at Okiya.

"The more interesting parts are the folding chairs placed on the side of the stage, the remaining rope and toolbox, and the hole left near the knot in the auditorium."

"And," Conan added, "I found a baseball with a kite string tied to it behind the auditorium. ”

"Conan?"

Takagi was shocked when he saw Conan.

"Wouldn't it be ...... to say that?"

"Anyway," Gao Cheng walked out of the side of the stage, "let's first interrogate everyone's alibi in the concert hall, the prisoner must be an insider." ”

"It's the old brother of the castle," Twilight said, "why are you here?" ”

"I was going to watch the rehearsal of the Polish players, but this happened when I was leaving."

Gao Cheng said and looked at the people at the door of the venue.

Just when he was about to leave, he found out about the murder, and Okiya's luck was really bad, and it seemed that he couldn't waste too much time, and he needed to solve the case cleanly.

However, he already has some eyebrows about the truth of the case.

For him, this kind of case is actually the easiest, because of the detective system, what he has always been best at is crime scene restoration.

In such a closed place as concert singing, the details and clues are clear at a glance, and no matter how complicated the technique is, it can't hide from his eyes.

Originally, the only things that were placed on the side of the stage were toolboxes and ropes, and the folding chairs were placed on the inside, and considering that Potulu Dao was facing the audience in the middle of the stage to fill in the words, it is likely that Botu was moved out.

But in that case, the folding chair should have been left in the middle of the stage, and now it was the prisoner's work to fold it and put it together with the toolbox.

And then there's the rest of the rope.

Judging from the incision, it was the rope used to hang the wave that was leftover, and the prisoner cut off the excess after tying the knot in the auditorium chair.

It's weird, it's weird to take the time to cut the rope deliberately, and roll it up neatly and put it next to the toolbox.

The reason for the prisoner must have been to hide something, and it was probably related to the way a person hoisted Botu.

Just now, Gao Cheng tried to unfold the folding chair for inspection, and found a piece of contact lenses on the inside.

Different from the concert poster, there is an obvious difference in the pupils of Botu's remains, that is to say, he usually wears contact lenses, one is stained on the folding chair, and on the other side, he searched everywhere, but he didn't find it.

That's why I want to start the questioning as soon as possible.

Because another piece of contact lenses is likely to be on the prisoner, and there are still some questions that I don't understand, this time it seems to be a double case.

……

In the hall of the concert hall, everyone gathered, and even the magazine reporter from before was arrested.

"To summarize the testimony of the staff at the Toto Concert Hall, there was no alibi between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., when the death was estimated, only the president Mr. Bushi and the agent Ms. Enjo, and then Mr. Kajitagani, a magazine reporter who had paid for a staff coat and had slipped in."

"Ms. Enjo's whereabouts are unknown from around 4:30 to 4:40, Mr. Bushi from 5 to 5:15, and Mr. Kajitagani ......."

"So I said it all," the magazine continued, "I entered this hall before 5:30 p.m., about 5:20 p.m., and if you don't believe me, I'm going to ask the staff who sold me my coat!" ”

"If that's the case, it's strange," Takagi said with a headache, "the time is not right, and it is impossible for three people to conspire to hang the victim up." ”

Gao Cheng also frowned in the back.

There is also a piece of contact lenses on the female agent's back, but from the scene, the female agent is not a direct offender, but has just changed the scene, because it is not easy to wrap the rope around the high lampstand.

The only thing that can be used on the field is the baseball, but if you want to throw it that high, it requires a lot of arm strength, and through the information gathered by Takagi, only Hato himself played baseball in high school and is a very good pitcher.

At the same time, before the female agent, everyone else had an alibi.

Suicide?

"How's it going?" Belmode quietly approached Amuro, a little impatient, "Can you solve this murder case quickly?" It's also dangerous for me to stay here for a long time. ”

"You think too highly of me," Amuro said with a wry smile, "Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I wasn't ready this time."

"Also, if you had said hello to me beforehand, I could have provided detailed information, but suddenly pretended to be Miss Azi and came over......"

Amuro looked at Belmode's face that was different from before, and was quite curious.

"To investigate the content of the unpublished lyrics, it's enough for me alone, right?"

"I'm worried about them," Belmode said with a soft face, glancing at Ran and Conan, "I don't know if you can keep your agreement with me." ”

"Don't worry, I promised you that I wouldn't put them in danger."
