"An alibi is just a trick."

Gao Cheng handed a copy of the surveillance video to a police officer with a laptop.

"The most important thing about this crime is that in addition to the real murderer, there is also a person who thinks he is the murderer, a cursed doll from the hand of one person and a murder case modeled after a cursed doll, it is difficult to suspect that these two things were committed by different people, and Miss Xingzi's motive for monopolizing the property of the fire family is also quite convincing......"

Gao Cheng's gaze fell on the fire worship star who had been completely shocked and was sweating constantly.

Even she thought she was a murderer, so she behaved like a murderer, and because she killed people through spells instead of with her own hands, she wouldn't flinch in the face of police interrogation, and she didn't care that the evidence of the curse was found by the police...... It can't be found guilty of homicide, Miss Xingzi, right? ”

Huo Xingzi's body trembled, and under Gao Cheng's flat gaze, his lips became dry.

"I ...... He—they're not because of my curse......"

"The murderer hid himself, let the person with the murderous intent and motive stand in front, designed a seemingly rigorous but loophole alibi, and also created a deeper alibi for himself," Gao Cheng looked away and continued to look at Jing Ze, "It's the same as someone other than Miss Xingzi, so the police won't suspect you at all......"

"Then why ......"

"The time of Mr. Jiuyao's death is indeed before the tea party, but the actual time of the murder scene is not ......"

Gao Cheng waited for the police to release the surveillance video, and personally adjusted the picture to about 2:46 in the morning.

"The completion time is actually after the tea party, and from the surveillance, you can see that the magic lights are shaking and shaking twice, the first time is around 46 minutes, and the second time is a few minutes later, which is the time when the murderer really did his tricks."

"But Joto," Kenmi Kohashi asked tightly, "haven't you also seen the scene?" How is it possible to do it without unplugging? ”

"I didn't think I could do it......"

Gao Cheng looked at Xiaoqiao, who didn't want to believe it.

"With enough clues to reason, but no matter how incredible the result is, it may be the truth...... The murderer performed a magic trick that broke the conventional perception for everyone. ”

"Magic?!"

"Think about it, Xiaoqiao, why did the murderer deliberately design that strange way of dying between ceremonies?"

"To Miss Xingzi...... Making an alibi? ”

"Why that way?" Gao Cheng asked rhetorically, "Is it just for Miss Xingzi?" ”

A drop of sweat fell from the corner of his eyes: "And the murderer himself?" ”

"It's the same as the design of the double murderer," Gao Cheng said with a smile, "There are also double psychological traps here, the first is that turning off the lights is equivalent to pulling out the plug of the magic lamp, and if you don't pull out the plug, you can't arrange the murder scene, that is, Miss Xingzi's alibi, and the second is that you must pull out the plug when the lights go out......

"That's right, the second is a preconceived trap created against the murderer's own alibi, so that the first one is cracked, and the second one takes root in everyone's hearts."

The horse-faced officer broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

There is no doubt that he has completely fallen into the trap of the murderer, and he can't imagine that a murder incident can be designed so complicated, if not a perfect crime, it is almost the same, and the person who designed the crime is really terrible.

"Also...... In other words, the murderer arranged the scene outside the time period when the lights went out, and he did not unplug the magic lamp...... But how do you do that? ”

Kentaro Izawa also pulled his fist and looked directly at Gao Cheng: "Yes, you are talking about how Jiuyao was hanged!" How could it be possible not to unplug ......"

"You're saying how do you pull the plug out of the crack in the carpet without pulling it out, right?"

Gao Cheng took out a piece of white paper, and cut out 3 sides in the middle like the carpet between the ceremonies, like a tongue, and only the 4th edge can be turned into a hollow word.

"I'll just use this piece of paper as a demonstration, the location of the magic lamp is on the corner of the 'tip of the tongue', the wires are sewn on it and can't move, and the rest of the wires are from under the carpet through the outer frame to the wall socket, and it seems that you can't pull the wires out without pulling the plug, right?"

The horse-faced officer looked at the blank paper and nodded: "That's right." ”

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Officer, please pinch the 'tip of your tongue' with your fingers from below, just like a magic lamp." ”

"Is that so?"

The horse-faced officer pinched the paper in the inner circle in confusion, so that the outer frame rested on his thumb, and his arm became like a magic lamp wire, unless he cut off his hand or let go, he really couldn't think of how to move his hand to the paper next.

"It's okay," Gao Cheng's gaze swept over Izawa, who had a calm face, and looked at the people who were thinking hard, "This looks much more obvious, more abstract and easier to understand, as long as you can move the officer's hand to it at once, 3, 2, 1!" ”

The horse-faced officer's eyes widened as he pulled up the paper frame on it, flipped it over directly from the other end, and transferred it in a circle to the bottom of his arm.

He didn't need to move at all, he just made the outer paper frame rotate twice to complete the position exchange, and his arm moved to the top of the paper, as if his hand had penetrated the paper directly.

"How, how is that possible?"

"What the hell is going on? Is it that simple? ”

"It's just a dead end of thinking," Gao Cheng handed the blank paper to Officer Ma Yan to continue his research, "Everyone thinks about how to move the wires, but they don't think that the carpet itself can also move, the reason why the magic lamp light will shake twice is also because the murderer touched the carpet, the first time is that the carpet frame passes through the magic lamp, and the second time it passes through the bottom, so there is no need to pull the plug at all!" ”

Kohashi Kenmi stared at the white paper used to simulate, his pupils dilated slightly.

The murder was turned out to be a magic stage, and the police and he were all used as pawns......

"Kentaro," Kohashi looked at Izawa with a dry throat, "why do you want to do this?" ”

Jing Ze stood in place and did not respond, and it took a long time to raise his head again to face Gao Cheng.

"Even so, the murderer doesn't have to be me, right? Except for Xingzi, everyone here is right-handed. ”

"That's true, yes, but you're missing two flaws."

"What?"

"Remember what you said when you were in the surveillance room?" Gao Cheng calmly looked at Xiao Qiao, who had become a murderer, "When the surveillance video was disconnected, you said that it might be a malfunction." ”

"Yes...... What's the problem? Izawa frowned.

"In fact, the video recording at that time was not because of the camera failure, but because there was a lightning strike nearby at that time, which caused a temporary power outage...... Of course, it's normal that you don't know, because the person in the video who draws the curtains between ceremonies is you, Kentaro Izawa......"

Gao Cheng affirmed: "At that time, you who were dealing with President Xiao between the dim ceremonies, heard the thunder and didn't notice the temporary power outage here. ”

"That's it?" Izawa's face trembled.

"Another reason I found out after that is that the curtains here don't need to be pulled by hand, as long as you pull the rope on the side, the curtains will open and close automatically, and everyone in the fire worship family should know ......"

Gao Cheng paused, looked at Jing Ze, whose face was cloudy, and continued: "Of course, the most important thing is that after deciding to continue this tea party, I specially asked people to turn up the camera, although you were very careful, but the scene of entering the kitchen was still filmed. ”

"How can it be like this......"

Izawa's face stiffened.

"I thought it would be Xiaoqiao, and I didn't want to involve my friend's friend, but that hell puppeteer didn't let me find you through Xiaoqiao......"

"Kentaro ......"

"It's none of your business, Xiaoqiao," Izawa looked coldly at the fire worship star on the side, and suddenly drew a dagger and rushed to kill, "It's all over, just kill the last target!" ”

Huo Xingzi stayed in place, watching in horror as the dagger stabbed at him, and a burst of screams rang out in the living room, and even the horse-faced officer had no time to stop it.

"Die!"

"Don't!" Kenmi Kohashi stared at Fa Xiao and lost his mind, his mind was blank, and the kind-hearted Izawa and the current killer in his memory were completely two people.

"Kentaro!"

Gao Cheng frowned and pulled away the fire worship star, stopped in the middle to meet Jing Ze, who was full of resentment, reached out and grabbed Jing Ze's wrist, and his sharp gaze directly woke Jing Ze up.

"You ......"

"Gao Yuanyaoichi's target is me, you are just a puppet used by him, do you want to continue?"

"Bang!" Gao Cheng flipped his hand and knocked down the dagger, handed Kentaro Izawa to the frightened horse-faced police officer next to him, and left the living room with Hoshiko.

"Miss Xingzi, what happened ten years ago, let's go to the police station and talk about it."
