Chapter 19: A Failed Magic Show

A magician was performing on stage, the most outrageous magician I've ever seen, and every time a performance is performed, a murder happens.

But even so, he is the most popular magician in the world, and there is no one.

Today's performance is still crowded, with high-speed rotating gears hanging above the man's head. Welcome to see the excitement is not a big deal, and the cruel witness is that the man is split in two.

But in the next second, he stood in the audience intact and won a full house.

The female performer on the other side was not so lucky, she sawed it into two pieces alive, and the blood was about to spray on the audience's face.

The police arrived at the scene, and according to the wounds on the deceased's legs, it could be seen that she had struggled hard before her death, and she could not see if she died.

By all indications, this is not a simple magic show, but a deliberate murder.

In addition, a large number of bloody footprints were found at the scene, which are probably left by the murderer.

The medical examiner conducted an autopsy and the time of death of the deceased was around 8 to 10 o'clock last night.

It takes a lot of force to cut off the bones, and the murderer must have been male and strong.

The officers found a pattern printed on the red cloth in the deceased's mouth, combined with the fingerprints found on the wooden box, and they quickly locked on the suspect, the owner who sold magic props.

The boss explained: The thing is sold by him, and naturally there will be his fingerprints. When he saw the photo of the deceased, the boss recognized it immediately. This person is a magician assistant who has been very popular recently, and often comes to him to buy props.

The police find the magician, who is indifferent to the death of his assistant, who he thinks is innocent of his death, because the assistant has sold his magic secrets to his peers.

This is the most taboo in the magic industry, so he fired his assistant in the first two weeks.

At this time, the stuntman came over to urge the magician to conduct a rehearsal, and looking at the footprints left by the stuntman, the police officer felt very familiar.

By contrasting the footprints of the backstage of the crime scene, it is possible that the stuntman has been in the backstage, and it is possible that he witnessed the murder.

The police officer investigated the background of the stuntman, and his colleague said: "The stuntman hates the magician very much, because the magician had an affair with his girlfriend, and he originally wanted to leave immediately, but tonight's magic is a new version that no one has ever seen, and once it succeeds, his fame as a member of the team will also rise, so I plan to talk about it tonight."

As night falls, the magician will show the audience how to be burned for four hours, but unscathed himself.

The police immediately rushed to the scene, but they did not see the stuntman.

The magic show was coming to an end, and the police officers were delighted. Before they could finish their recollections, Lao Ji received a call and found a deceased person not far away, and the cause of death was burned to death.

The officers turned the deceased over and were surprised to find that the deceased was actually a stuntman.

Officers found a gasoline drum at the scene, along with a magic wand inside.

It is no coincidence that the modus operandi of the killings in both cases is consistent with magic.

In order to prevent more people from being killed, the police urgently called off the third magic show.

Officers examined the magic wand brought back from the scene, which had traces of dander on it. This is supposed to be the skin that the killer accidentally burned when he lit the fire with a magic wand. After DNA comparison, the police officer was surprised to find that it belonged to the skin of the magician, and the magician was wearing the same shoes as the stuntman.

The evidence is there, but the magician was performing a magic trick at the time of the crime, and there is sufficient alibi to prove that it is impossible for him to kill by himself.

The police officer repeatedly watched the video of the magician's performance, and finally discovered the flaw.

When the magician performs a fire show, the fuel is refilled every thirty minutes, and the last time the blanket is refueled, the flame is noticeably greater. Maybe there are two people behind the blanket at this time, so that it can cause a more intense light.

In other words, it was at this time that the magician completed the bag drop, and before the end of the performance, he returned to the scene after killing people.

The police prepare to arrest the magician, but the magician is missing.

The police investigated the background of the magician, and it turned out that the magician was abandoned by his parents at birth. She was later adopted by her adoptive mother, who became pregnant six years later.

So the adoptive mother abandoned the magician and sent him back to the orphanage.

Ji thinks that the magician must hate the feeling of being betrayed by people because he has been adopted and abandoned repeatedly, so he kills the female assistant who betrayed him, and the stuntman who wants to leave the team, and his next target is likely to be his adoptive mother.

At this time, the police finally found the magician's car next to the abandoned warehouse.

The woman was tied up in front of the tank, and the magician affectionately called out to her mother. Then he hung the woman up and excitedly introduced the show to the empty audience.

The woman was thrown into the tank, and the magician watched contentedly, clapping his hands and sharing his impressions with those around him.

Even if there was no one around him, the woman was almost suffocated to death. Fortunately, the police arrived in time and opened the water tank to save the woman. With this, the magician was arrested and brought to justice, and he was punished by the law...
