"Boom!"

There was a torrential rain at night, Gao Cheng looked out of the hotel window at the Huangpu River in the dark night of the rain, a wall clock in the house kept ringing, and the time passed minute by minute.

Today, the police have ended the search for a pistol in the Huangpu River, saying that they don't believe it, but in fact, they take his analysis to heart.

The probability that the murderer threw the pistol into the Huangpu River is very small, logically, there is no problem with his analysis, the murderer must have hidden the pistol somewhere.

It's just that no matter how hard the police try, they can't find the pistol, and the other two masks that disappeared have never been found, and that Officer Li seems to be unable to put down his face to look for him because of this, but wants to try to investigate Yang Xiaolong.

I heard that this afternoon, the police originally planned to arrest Yang Xiaolong first to avoid other murders, but Yang Xiaolong took advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet and jumped into the river to escape.

There was another burst of thunder, and the big ship of the acrobatic troupe could not be seen clearly through the steamy river, Gao Cheng retracted his gaze and closed the curtains, and a theater diagram was laid flat on the desk, including the stage and the backstage.

The real scene of the crime is next to the backstage, and Marujana, who has performed the spinning disc, is found and killed by the murderer, and then tied to a background rope and pulled up with a lift.

After the fish-man show starts, when the lights dim and change the background, the rope descends with the corpse, and the murderer unties the rope nearby, waiting for the lights to come on is the scene that everyone sees......

At that time, it was easiest to do this was Yang Leili, who performed the fishman show instead of Maru Jenna, that is, the adopted daughter of the troupe leader who helped Nishimura take them to the theater during the day.

The clue is not just this......

The murderer created a panic and interrupted the performance in order to prevent the bear of the acrobatic troupe from taking the stage.

The only thing that can be associated with the murderer's method of concealing the murder weapon, which is convenient for concealment and recovery, is only to wrap the pistol and mix it in food to feed the bear, and then recover it from the bear's excrement the next day.

The police checked everyone, but ignored the most special animals on board.

The murderer planned to hide the pistol on the bear after the killing, but what he didn't expect was that yesterday Fujido temporarily changed the order of the performance and put the bear's performance at the end.

The trick of animal performances is to make the animals hungry, and it is difficult for the animals to cooperate obediently after eating, no matter where they are, it seems that the animals are very smart and powerful, but they are actually forced out by the trainers, such as the dolphin show, and the dolphin basically has to give a few fish rewards after completing the action.

The acrobatic troupe is no exception.

According to the group, the bear called Naughty has always only eaten what Yang Leili feeds, whether it is true or not, the bear has indeed been fed by Yang Leili all along.

Therefore, only Yang Leili can complete this technique.

Gao Cheng's eyes appeared with Yang Leili's innocent smile.

However, even with these two clues, he still can't show that Yang Leili is the murderer.

Not because of Yang Leili's charming appearance, but there is a key problem.

It was the death of the head of the regiment in the first incident, and Yang Leili had an alibi at that time, and it was quite sufficient, otherwise the police would not have just stared at Yang Xiaolong.

If this is not addressed, the police will not pay attention to him.

At this time, Yang Leili should also get a pistol from the bear's feces and hide it again, and the police must not be able to re-search the entire ship.

Gao Cheng turned on the computer to check the mailbox.

Takagi's side should be able to get a result today, and he has a feeling that the news from the Japanese side will be the key to solving the case.

At the same time, in a relatively luxurious room in the ship of the Yang Acrobatic Troupe, Sousuke Fujido seemed a little uncertain, and kept chattering about sorting out the banknotes.

Looking at the table full of money, my mood instantly stabilized a lot.

He hasn't seen anything in these years, it's enough to have this money, it's a big deal to give up the acrobatic troupe first, and what's the curse, Silan is already dead......

"Huh?"

The air suddenly became a lot quieter, and Fujitang took a sip of tea and looked up in confusion.

A man dressed in a mask and dressed on stage broke into the room at some point, holding a small pistol between his fingers.

"Who are you?!"

Fujido frantically grabbed the phone in horror and quickly dialed 110.

"I'm Fujido, save ......"

"Bang ——!"

……

"Crackle!"

The lightning and thunder over the Huangpu River, the torrential rain still did not stop, Gao Cheng ran from the dock to the acrobatic troupe boat with an umbrella, although he was careful again and again, he was still half wet.

Fujido Sosuke's room, Yang Xiaolong stood at the door wet, looking at the murdered Fujitang inside with a shocked face, and his hands were handcuffed by the police before he reacted.

"It's not me! It's really not me! ”

Officer Li ignored Yang Xiaolong's shouting, uncovered the mask engraved with the word "autumn" on Fujitang's face, and immediately frowned.

Like the previous victims, they were shot in the head, but the difference was that the right eye was gouged out, and it was dripping with blood, which was really bloody to look at.

and the curse "Qiu Lan's right eye".

"He was dead when I came in," Yang struggled, "It's true!" ”

Officer Li remained unmoved, and calmly ordered: "Arrest the current offender Yang Xiaolong." ”

The most feared thing really happened, the real murderer used Yang Xiaolong as a cover, as long as Yang Xiaolong was outside for a day, he would definitely continue to commit murders.

"Officer Lee."

Gao Cheng rushed to the scene of the murder and saw Sosuke Fujido, who was in a miserable state, as soon as he saw him.

"Can you wait? If Yang Xiaolong is the murderer, there is no reason to wait for the police to come and stay at the scene, and the pistol that is the murder weapon, as well as Fujitang's gouged out right eye, are not at the scene, right? ”

"Castle Takasei," Officer Li said sternly, "this is not Japan, I can completely accuse you of obstructing official business, please leave immediately, and don't meddle in this case." ”

"I don't want to meddle in anything, I just want to provide some clues," Gao Cheng said calmly, "such as the location of the murder weapon, and all the methods of the murderer......"

Officer Li's pace of leaving suddenly stopped, and he looked at Gao Cheng suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”

"It can also be said that I already know who the real murderer is," Gao Cheng's gaze swept over the corpses of Fujitang scattered among the banknotes, "Fujitang provided clues, as long as the acrobatic troupe gathers again, and there is another performance from yesterday, the murder weapon and the murderer will automatically appear." ”

"Are you sure?"

Officer Lee looked suspicious.

While many lobbyists like to start with wild words and go on and on as a starting point, he's not the kind of person to believe.

He always felt that the detective was active only because of the incompetence of the local police.

The Japanese police are like this, otherwise this island nation would not become a paradise for detectives, and even strange things like high school detectives are endless.

When he learned that Gao Cheng was a consultant of the Metropolitan Police Department, he couldn't believe it.

No matter what, I just graduated from high school, and I don't even have a bachelor's degree.

Who can be a consultant who is not a professor at the expert level?

After taking a deep look at Gao Cheng, Officer Li didn't dare to ignore it at will.

He did run into trouble in this case, and it didn't hurt to listen to the clues provided by Gao Cheng, and he was also very interested in the restoration of the scene.

"It's not impossible to rewatch the show," Officer Li said, turning to the theater, "but only once." ”
