Chapter 67: The Puzzle Solved

"Joto? It's the ...... on TV the other day."

Kohashi Kenmi looked at Gao Cheng incredulously: "But aren't you called Kanedaichi?" ”

"Well, let's talk about it later," Gao Cheng nodded awkwardly, turned to the female teacher in surprise, and said, "Ogata-sensei, why are you here?" What about Eagle Island? ”

Ogata looked back: "There is Nanase to take care of ......"

"Ah——!h Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking glass, followed by the screams of Takashima Yuyo.

"Not good!"

Gao Cheng's expression tightened, and he hurriedly took the lead and rushed out of the room, only to pass through the corridor and see a raging flame burning in front of the Eagle Island room, and a black shadow ran to the other side through the flame barrier.

"Damn! Is it the Singing Moon? Seeing that he couldn't save people, Kohashi Xian chased after him.

"Extinguish the fire!"

Gao Cheng stopped and glanced at the room of Eagle Island, the window was broken from the outside, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground, fortunately, Eagle Island and Nanase were not injured, nodded, and after leaving the others to fight the fire, he also followed the stride and crossed the flames to pursue the black shadow.

"What's going on...... Yuji Arimori suddenly ran out of the corner of the corridor and collided head-on with Kenmi Kohashi, and both of them fell at the same time.

"It hurts!"

"What's wrong?" The others also followed Arimori from the opposite side, looking at the chaotic scene in amazement, and hurriedly followed to extinguish the fire.

"Didn't you see anyone running over?" Kohashi stood up in pain and asked a few people.

The corridor of the villa was a hollow, and it didn't take long for him to chase him to the corner of the corridor, but Ge Yue actually disappeared out of thin air......

"No," Arimori pointed to the other side of the hallway, "I heard the sound and rushed over." ”

"Did you jump out of the window and escape?"

Gao Cheng looked at the muddy footprints on the ground to an open window around the corner.

"Probably not, it's a cliff ...... out there" Kohashi Kenmi also noticed the footprints on the ground extending to the window, and poked his head out hesitantly, surprised, "There seems to be something under the cliff!" ”

"Is there a flashlight?" Gao Cheng turned to the maid and asked.

"I do," Dr. Yuuki came down from the second floor with a flashlight, rubbing his forehead complainingly, "It's been noisy since just now, and I haven't slept well all night......"

"Doctor Yuuki!"

Gao Cheng took the flashlight and shone it down the cliff, the waves crashing against the reef under the steep cliff, and through the light, you could faintly see the opera house weirdo mask and black cloak floating on the sea.

"Did that guy fall overboard?" Kobashi Kenmi looked at the sea in a deep voice.

"If you fall from here, you won't be able to save it......"

"It's suicide!"

Xian Daofeng and a few people extinguished the fire, and rushed to the corner of the corridor with everyone and said excitedly: "Because there are people on both sides of the corridor, he must have committed suicide in a corner!" It's the same ending as the opera weirdo in the script! ”

"Great, so we're all saved!"

"Suicide?" Gao Cheng looked carefully out the window.

There is no way to hide in this kind of place, and it is difficult to climb to the second floor......

"I think it may be that he was desperate to escape through the window, but he didn't know that there was a cliff outside," Kohashi Kenmi looked at Gao Cheng and said with a sigh of relief, "Although it was a surprise, this murder is over in the end, everyone will go and rest......"

"It's not over yet."

Gao Cheng returned the flashlight to Dr. Yuuki, closed the window and said, "Regardless of whether the murderer is dead or not, there is still the stolen crossbow that has not been found." ”

"Detective Joto, do you think the murderer is still alive?" Kohashi Kenmi frowned and said, he really couldn't think of the possibility that the murderer was still alive, the reality was in front of him, even a detective couldn't deny it.

"Anyway, everyone be careful, Mr. Ogata, Sister Takashima still has to trouble you to take care of it."

Gao Cheng reminded him that he went to inspect a case site again alone.

"You said Detective Joto just now," Sen Michi looked strangely at Kobashi Ken, "His name is Kanedaichi?" ”

"This ......," Nanase explained with a bitter face, "Joto said that he wanted to travel like an ordinary student, so he used the name Kanedaichi......"

"Wait a minute! Castle ...... He can't be the famous castle Gaocheng, right? How is this possible? ”

The Xiandao people laughed at Gao Cheng and left the back, but after saying this, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but I do feel an unusual detective temperament.

"Really? I didn't even see it before......"

……

The Opera House of the Annex.

Gao Cheng returned to the stage with his chin in his hand, and as the one-minute mode was turned on, his thinking began to run at great speed again, all the interference of thunder and rain was eliminated, and only a fictional three-dimensional picture of the villa was left in front of him, and countless details and clues continued to emerge around the villa.

The opera house weirdo mask under the cliff, the footprints that stretch to the window......

The scene when Kenmi Kohashi was chasing was reproduced in front of Gao Cheng's eyes, as if going back in time, and all the details of the scene were combined and arranged, from the strange man disappearing around the corner to Kenmi Kohashi colliding with Yuji Arimori, and then to the appearance of Yutaka Sendo......

If the weirdo didn't commit suicide by jumping off a cliff, there was only one possibility...... Yuji Arimori is that weirdo!

Arimori took advantage of the corner to throw the weird mask, cloak, and muddy shoes through the window, and then turned around and rushed out to collide with Kenmi Kohashi.

Because of the corridor, no one could see the murderer, so it seemed that Arimori was running from the opposite corridor like everyone else.

Gao Cheng's fingers flicked quickly, reasoning and deducing from the condition that Arimori was the murderer, and it was possible to fit perfectly until Kiryu's death, only Hidaka's death was still suspicious.

When Hidaka Orie screamed, except for him, who was in Hidaka's room on the second floor at the time, everyone else stayed in the restaurant on the first floor, and all of them had alibi......

A clue suddenly flashed through Gao Cheng's mind.

He hadn't quite understood why the killer had put down the stage curtain, but at the moment he had caught a clue in the one-minute mode.

"Sure enough, it's to make an alibi."

His eyes swept across the stage, and the images in front of him were quickly sifted, and in the end, only the details of Yuji Arimori remained.

At first, Arimori seemed to know that the rehearsal would not last a few days, and his expression was strange when he mentioned Riga, and it was most likely that an alibi would be implemented on the theater side......

"It must be Arimori, that's right." Gao Cheng looked affirmative.

He had roughly understood the riddle on the stage of the theater, but the problem was that there was no evidence, no strong evidence that Arimori was the murderer.

Arimori's hands and feet are very clean, and even the props of the opera house weirdos are disguised as jumping off the cliff and dealt with in advance, and the only thing that may be left is the missing ballista......

If Mori is the murderer, it is impossible to let go of Takajima Yuyo, and now the missing crossbow is the key, and Arimori will definitely kill Takashima Yuyo, the question is how to kill.

The so-called "Geyue" committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, but he was not really cornered, and Yousen should have designed it to make "Geyue" commit suicide from the beginning, otherwise it would be impossible to react in such a short time.

However, since "Utatsuki" was killed, Arimori apparently prepared another method for Takashima Yuyo, and judging from the missing crossbow, it may be some kind of trigger-type automatic archery mechanism.

And if you want to accurately shoot Takashima Tomoyo, the design method and location of this mechanism should be ......

"Huh!" The minute ended abruptly, Gao Cheng's mind returned to normal, and for a moment there was a feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

The time is still too short to be enough.

Gao Cheng smiled bitterly, gathered his mind and returned to the case.

Although the question of the final evidence has not yet been resolved, at least there is an idea, and the top priority is to find the ballista that was used as a mechanism as soon as possible.

The villa, because of the tossing and turning of the night, the very tired everyone went back to their respective rooms, only the high school detective was still wandering in the corridor.

Gao Cheng found Nanase alone and learned that Arimori had also gone back to his room to rest.

"Joto," Nanase said confusedly, "Is it really possible for Utatsuki to be alive?" There's no way to escape in that situation. ”

Gao Cheng smiled, looked at Nanase with a bitter face and said, "Sometimes it's really easier than you think, okay, can I trouble you to find an excuse to stay with Senior Arimori?" ”

"Huh?"

"Please."

After separating from Nanase, Gao Cheng looked for a possible place to hide the crossbow near the Takashima room, but nothing came of it.

There are simply not a few places that meet the conditions of the organs.

The sky was bright, and the wind and rain outside the villa gradually stopped, and it looked like a sunny day.

When Gao Cheng walked into the restaurant, Uncle Tianshu greeted him excitedly and said, "We have already been contacted, and a boat will come to pick us up at ten o'clock." ”

"Are there no typhoons?"

Gao Cheng didn't sleep all night, rubbed his eyes tiredly, and sat down at the dining table with a yawn: "When will you eat?" I couldn't stand the hunger. ”

"Breakfast will be ready soon, let's have a glass of milk first......" Uncle Tianshu turned around and took a cup, saw the sign in front of him with the words "Jintian Yiyi", slapped his forehead and reacted, "I didn't expect you to be the famous detective Chengdo Gaocheng, wait a minute, I'll change the brand for you......"

"I don't need to use this, it's just a name."

Gao Cheng was embarrassed for a while, but the next moment his eyes suddenly paused on the position of Takashima Yuyo: "Uncle, has the location of the restaurant always been fixed?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"So that's the case, the restaurant is the best place to go."

Gao Cheng's drowsiness subsided, and he looked around with a condensed expression, and finally his eyes fell on the doll on the counter by the dining table.

Carefully lifting the doll's wide skirt, a ballista spear at a fixed angle appeared in front of Gao Cheng's eyes, and the sharp arrows on the tight crossbow string were aimed at the position of Takashima Yuyo.

"W-This?!" Uncle Tianshu looked at the crossbow in horror, "Why are you here?" ”

"It's a prisoner's design."

Gao Cheng pulled out the sharp arrow and looked at a clock tied to the ballista, the blade of the clock was fixed to the short hand, and when it came to seven o'clock, which was breakfast time, the mechanism was triggered, and the arrow would kill Takashima Yuyo in the seat.

In this way, all the puzzles are solved......
