"I can't get in touch with him, since last night."

In the cafeteria of Rice Flower International Hospital, Bai Hejing said in a flat tone to Belmode on the other end of the communication.

Since Bai Heqing left suddenly last night, she has not contacted Bai Heqing until this morning.

This is a very rare situation, if she didn't know that Bai Heqing had been to Belmode in the middle of the night last night, she would have wondered if he was ambushed and killed halfway.

"Ah Jing, you can't contact him, why do you want to ask me?" Belmode and Shirakawa Jing laughed and asked.

"Because he can't disappear without a trace, and if he didn't tell me, he must have told you." Bai He replied calmly.

She knew better than anyone else in the world what kind of man her father was.

Shirakawa Kiyoshi just seems to be invulnerable, and anyone in the world will have weaknesses, and he will be no exception.

At all times, Bai Heqing would make sure that at least one of the people close to him knew his whereabouts and knew how to contact him.

In his opinion, this is a kind of invisible protection for the people who matter to him.

"You know him well......"

Hearing this, Belmode said quietly, her tone was very complicated, making it difficult for Bai Hejing to judge the true emotions when she said this.

"This morning, Regel should have gone to find his old friend's son."

"Old friends?"

"The late famous magician."

Black Feather Thief One.

Bai Hejing remembered that this person was indeed one of Bai Heqing's former friends.

It was eight years ago that the great magician Black Feather Thief was invited to the United States to hold a magic tour, and in the process, he accidentally met Shirakawa Kiyoshi.

These two people seemed to have a certain amount in common in personality, and they soon became friends.

However, this friendly relationship did not last long, because as soon as the Black Feather Thief saw through Bai Heqing's disguise, not only that, but the clever magician also secretly investigated Bai Heqing's former identity, and even vaguely sensed that Bai Heqing was working for an evil organization.

But soon, his investigation was also noticed by Bai Heqing, and without any hesitation, Bai Heqing quickly began to arrange, and sniped the Black Feather Thief on the way home after a certain magic show.

After that, Kuroba Thief's wife, Kuroba Chikage, disappeared, as it is highly likely that Kuroba Chikage learned something from Kuroba Thief.

Therefore, Shirakawa Kiyoshi spared the only son of the great magician, the fashionable and young Kuroba Kaito, and sent him back to Japan for surveillance, as a containment of Kuroba Chikage, and has been until now.

This is regarded as the grudge between Bai Heqing and the Black Feather family, although Bai Heqing sniped the Black Feather Thief, but for the unsuspecting Black Feather Kuaito, Bai Heqing still has the identity of "a good friend of his late father".

"Is it the Black Feather Thousand Shadows who appeared?" In an instant, Shirakawa Jing guessed the meaning of Belmode's words.

It is impossible for Bai Heqing to do unnecessary things, he will suddenly go to see Kuroba Kaito, and it may only be related to Kuroba Chikage, who has been missing for many years.

"He had this idea, but wasn't sure." Belmode replied.

"And the mysterious person who called the police that Ah Jing said last night also aroused his vigilance."

"A fake Shirley who can change her face, an unknown police officer, what does he want to do?" Bai Hejing asked.

Without answering Bai Hejing directly, Belmode suddenly turned to another topic.

"Speaking of which, the incident that Rum mentioned to him two days ago, Ah Jing should still remember, right?"

“……”

"Katsuragi, he jumped from the other side!" On the man-made cliff of the studio, Terumi Hoshino shouted loudly.

"Xiaolan! Call an ambulance first! ”

Mori Kogoro immediately got up, shouted at Mori Lan, and hurriedly ran towards the back of the artificial cliff.

"That stinky boy! Give me a job to do! ”

"I'll take a look at the situation." Behind him, Karasuma Ying and Conan followed directly.

Unlike the artificial cliff, which is covered with rocks and dirt, behind the cliff, which is not captured by the camera, is a completely bare steel frame structure for overall support.

"Hell!"

Underneath the pile of steel-framed structures was a layer of smashed inflatable cushions, and in the middle of the cushions lay a man in an O'Nimar holster.

Needless to say, this person is naturally Katsuragi Doujin who has just jumped from above.

The chest of O'Nimar's holster had cracked, and Katsuragi Doujin's blood was slowly oozing out of it along the cracks.

"Ahh Seeing this, the staff who came with them couldn't help but let out a piercing scream.

"Katsuragi he, Katsuragi he ......"

"You don't need to call an ambulance, just call the police."

Mori Kogoro stood up from the cushion and said with a solemn face, "Mr. Katsuragi, he is dead." ”

Karasuma Ying, who arrived later, took out her white gloves from behind her and put them on, walked around the cushion, and began to observe the scene skillfully.

She didn't feel any discomfort or surprise at this, anyway, since she came to Japan, she could meet such a thing every three or five times, and she was used to it psychologically.

"Xiaoying, be careful not to destroy the scene." Mori Kogoro glanced at her and reminded her.

"I know, Mr. Maori."

As soon as she said this, Karasuma noticed something strange on the air cushion.

"This air cushion is broken."

The first scene that everyone saw was when Katsuragi Doujin jumped down from above, smashed through the air cushion below, and fell into the air cushion of the breach.

It stands to reason that when the center of the cushion is impacted, it should be the edge of the cushion that bears the most pressure, so it is also the place where it is most likely to break.

But the air cushion in front of me is different, because it has a hole directly in the center, a very neat and smooth hole from beginning to end.

This breach gives the feeling of ...... It's like someone deliberately cut it.

"This cushion may not have been able to absorb the impact at all."

Conan also noticed the anomaly on the air cushion, frowned and said, "Mr. Katsuragi must have collided directly with the ground after he fell...... This can be the cause of death. ”

"Not exactly."

Karasuma squatted down next to the air cushion and carefully touched the blood-stained area of Oniemar's holster with her gloved hand.

Then, a small fragment of shattered holster armor fell off, stained with blood.

"The armor on the chest is damaged and dented inward, and most of these fragments should have been inserted into Mr. Katsuragi's chest for this amount of bleeding." Conan said, taking the bloodstained shard.

The hardness of the materials used for these fragments is very high, and under a certain amount of pressure, it can indeed easily penetrate the human body.

Just as the two were observing the scene, Mori Kogoro also grabbed the director who also ran over and asked:

"Hey! Don't you have any staff in the back? Didn't you think about the unexpected before?! ”

was grabbed by Maori Kogoro's wrist, and the director explained in a bit of a panic: "Well, that, we also have air cushions, and accidents usually happen in the front, and there are basically no accidents in the back......"

"Basic?!"

"This, that's what the producer meant! It was the producer who informed us early this morning that we should prepare well in advance to prevent accidents......"

"So, did the producer tell you not to be in the back?" Karasuma stood up and turned to look at him.

"Yes, yes......"

"Shh Shaking off the director, Kogoro Maori faced the staff who had almost all gathered and shouted:

"That's it! Now it's time to protect the site! Don't all gather here, and don't leave until the police arrive! ”

Under the control of Kogoro Mori, the situation in the studio gradually stabilized, and everyone stayed quietly in the studio and did not leave without permission.

It's just that there is some sadness or worry on their faces, which makes Karasuma Ying a little surprised.

"Is Mr. Katsuragi's popularity in the crew very good?" Sitting in the rest area, Karasuma asked Terumi Hoshino beside her curiously.

Although it was a little officinal, she actually always thought that Katsuragi Douzhen, who was not very emotionally intelligent, might not have any friends in the crew......

"His popularity is very poor, and they are more worried about their future."

The makeup on her face has not been removed yet, and Hoshino Terumi replied in a flat tone:

"At the time of the fire in One-Nimar, Katsuragi, who was the male lead, died suddenly, and it is a question of whether our current crew will exist in the future......"

Speaking of this, Hoshino Terumi looked at Karasuma Ying and asked, "Koying, was Katsuragi's death an accident?" ”

"I'm not sure right now, at least the air mattress I noticed was problematic...... Sister Terumi, did Katsuragi jump off by herself? ”

Karasuma Ying asked, at that time, on the artificial cliff, only Katsuragi Doujin and Hoshino Terumi were there.

"Hmm." Hoshino Terumi nodded and said, "At that time, he first retreated to the edge of the back side of the cliff, and when I thought he was going to start running, he crouched down and didn't know what to do there, and then he suddenly jumped off. ”

Katsuragi Doujin's move to jump down was so sudden that Hoshino Terumi didn't even have time to react, and when she ran to the back edge and looked down, she only saw Katsuragi Doujin smashed on the air cushion.

"In other words, didn't he fall on his foot at all......" Karasuma Ying frowned when he heard this.

jumped on his own, which ruled out the possibility of an accident...... Is it suicide?

Based on yesterday's contact with Katsuragi Doujin at the office, Karasuma Ying does not think that Katsuragi Doujin will have suicidal tendencies.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, Hoshino Terumi is lying, but this idea just came out, and it was immediately pinched off by Karasuma Ying herself.

Unless there is ironclad evidence, Karasuma Ying will not doubt her friend at all.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if this matter is really done by Terumi Hoshino, she will only find a way to help Terumi Hoshino cover up the truth.

While this is not legitimate, and it doesn't meet most people's expectations of her, it is indeed what Karasuma Ying really thinks.

She is indeed not a pure detective.

However, in the current situation, Hoshino Terumi was the only person on the cliff at that time, and he was indeed highly suspicious.

"Sister Terumi, I heard that today's scene was supposed to be performed by a stuntman?" Karasuma asked.

"Well, stuntman Komiya, he was supposed to perform, but because he has been in poor health recently, the crew originally planned to postpone the filming of this scene, but Katsuragi suddenly proposed that he would act in this scene himself.

Originally, everyone disagreed, but it was finally decided at his strong request and the approval of the producer. ”

"Producer?" Karasuma Ying heard the word again.

I remember that the previous staff mentioned that this morning, at the request of the producer of this crew, the staff were all transferred to the front of the cliff, leaving only an air cushion in the rear.

"Did the producers approve of Mr. Katsuragi's performance?" Karasuma asked.

"Well, and in the original design, it was only necessary for Oniemar to jump off the edge of the cliff, and it was after these two discussed with each other that they decided to change the action to sprint and then jump again......"

"Hey! What the hell is going on?! I got a call saying someone called the police? ”

Just then, a man with glasses in a shirt walked into the studio and asked loudly.

"Mr. Shibata! Something is wrong! Seeing him, the staff in the studio suddenly became respectful.

"He's the producer Daisuke Shibata." Terumi Hoshino explained softly.

"Don't panic! Let me know the general situation first, and there is! Tell the people in the security room not to let the reporters outside! ”

"The police are coming!"

At this moment, several police officers also hurriedly walked into the studio, and the leader was also an acquaintance of several Maori people, Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi.

"Everyone, be quiet! I'm a search section police department supplement Sato! ”

Showing her police ID, Miwako Sato said loudly: "We received a call from the police, and then we will first conduct an on-site investigation, and then we will collect evidence from everyone present, please do not leave the photo studio until then." ”

"Officer." When Miwako Sato's voice fell, Daisuke Shibata immediately asked, "Then it should be okay to arrange the people here to go to the lounge first, right?" ”

"No problem, as long as you don't leave the studio."

"Okay, then the staff will stay on the spot, and Miss Hoshino and the other actors will go to the lounge ......"

As he spoke, Daisuke Shibata looked at Mori and his party and said, "You are Mr. Katsuragi's guests, right?" If you don't mind, why don't you go to the lounge together? ”

"No, the Maori detectives will stay and assist in the investigation."

Miwako Sato spoke, glancing back at the Mori and the others, nodding her head as she made eye contact with Karasuma Ying.

"Understood." Seeing this, Daisuke Shibata no longer insisted.

"Sister Terumi, I'll go over for a moment."

Karasuma stood up and walked towards Miwako Sato.
