Chapter 1626 Killing Magic Show (3)
Under the command of Karasawa, the staff at the venue gradually took control of the entire chaotic venue according to their respective tasks.
Afterwards, Tang Ze stood on the stage with a microphone. After revealing his identity, the commotion of the audience began to exit the stage in an orderly manner under Tang Ze's instructions and the guidance of the staff.
But they were still discussing the previous magic accident.
As for the client they mentioned, Dongzhou Qize, who is still unconscious, was taken away by an ambulance not long after, and his life or death is unknown.
Although Toshu Keiko wanted to follow her into the ambulance at first, she was stopped by Karasawa.
After all, this accident cannot be definitely an accident, especially after a few people had just quarreled, it can be said that even the biological daughter is also suspected of murder.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Karasawa to let Toshu Keiko. If the other party was really the murderer, seeing that his father still had a chance of survival, he might not take action in the hospital.
Therefore, the best situation is to leave all three people who quarreled with Dong Zhouqi at the scene of the crime, and then leave the professional matters to professionals.
After all, there is nothing else they can do except trust doctors to save lives and heal the wounded.
Officer Megure, who arrived later, also agreed with Karasawa's decision after understanding the situation. Therefore, although Toshu Keiko was angry and worried about her father's safety, she still chose to cooperate with the police in the investigation.
"So, this magic has been performed nearly a hundred times in the past, and it has never failed once, right?" Karasawa looked at Toshu Keiko and asked.
"Um."
Dongzhou Keiko choked and nodded and said: "But this magic is dangerous after all, and my father also told me that if he has not appeared for half a minute after lighting the fire, the fire must be put out immediately.
This is also the safe limit time for this magic. Today I just felt that the time had exceeded and realized something was wrong."
"I remember that the person who tied up Mr. Toshu and put him in chains was you, Miss Keiko, right?" Karasawa looked at Toshu Keiko and confirmed.
"Yes, it's me."
Dongshu Keiko seemed to have mistakenly thought that Tang Ze was suspicious of her because of Tang Ze's previous obstruction. The emotion of being wronged made her irritable: "But how could I kill my father!!"
"Please calm down. I didn't doubt you because of this."
Tang Ze said: "All the chains on Mr. Dongzhou's body have fallen off, so this cannot be used to determine who is the prisoner.
I’m just trying to figure out the entire magic process so that I can conduct follow-up investigations, so please don’t worry.”
Hearing Karasawa's words, Toshu Keiko also calmed down, and Karasawa also looked at Hoshino Teru and said: "I remember it was you who wrapped Mr. Toshu and put him in the coffin, right?"
"That's right." Hoshino Teru nodded and said, "But I just wrapped Mr. Dongzhou in black cloth and carried him into the coffin. I didn't do anything else."
"Brother Karasawa, you were in the audience at that time." Officer Megure looked at Karasawa for advice: "What do you think?"
"I could see it very clearly from the first row. He really didn't make any unnecessary moves." Tang Ze nodded when he heard this.
"Then who knows the final result of this magic trick?" Officer Megure asked: "Who is the stage manager?"
"it's me!"
At this moment, Hoshino Kunihiko stood up and said: "The content of Toshu's performance today is that when the flames are burning, there will be masked men descending from the ceiling with ropes, and then rescuing the people locked in the coffins!"
"What about the magic mechanism? Please show it to me in detail." Karasawa nodded after hearing this, then looked at Hoshino Kunihiko and asked.
"There is a button in the corner of the coffin. After the coffin is closed, you only need to press it with your foot to escape."
Hoshino Kunihiko led Karasawa to the open coffin, pointed to the button in the coffin and said: "Under the original position of the coffin, there is a passage that connects to the bottom of the stage.
After pressing the button, people can easily escape from the secret passage at the bottom of the stage and then head to the ceiling.
Ah Fai will exchange with Mr. Dongzhou through the secret passage and enter the coffin with an oxygen mask.
Later, Mr. Dongzhou used a rope to descend from the ceiling to save people. The audience will find that the person who was rescued in the coffin was not Mr. Dongzhou, but the one who dropped from the sky to save people.
In this way, the magic show of substituting the whole thing is completed."
"I see, but because Mr. Dongzhou Qi didn't show up for a long time this time, Keiko immediately realized that something was wrong."
After listening to the entire principle of magic, Tangze nodded and said: "In other words, the key this time is that the bottom of the coffin was not opened, which resulted in Mr. Dongzhou not being able to escape.
Where is Mr. Hoshino Teru, did you notice the problem at that time?"
"certainly."
Hoshino Teru nodded and said: "I originally planned to wait to exchange with Mr. Qi down there, but after waiting for a long time, I found that the coffin could not be opened and there was a struggle inside, so I realized something was wrong.
So I quickly came out of the secret passage to get a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.
When we came out of the secret passage, we happened to meet my father who was about to get a fire extinguisher, and then the two of us rushed out to put out the fire."
After Karasawa learned about the magic show, he first checked the exit of the secret passage on the stage.
The exit of the secret passage was surrounded by wood piles, so the audience could not see the exit.
According to Toshu Keiko's introduction, before this magic was performed, the secret passage was just covered with the same removable wooden board as the one next to it.
After the wood is stacked to block the audience's view, the wooden planks will be removed by Keiko Toshu who is stacking the firewood and handed to Hoshino Teru in the secret passage.
Although this link can be used to kill people without removing the wooden planks, it requires two people to conspire. In addition, one of them is Dongzhou Qi's daughter. Tang Ze feels that the chance is not high, so he does not consider this for the time being.
After that, he asked people to carry the coffin back to its original position, pointed the coffin's mechanism towards the secret passage, and activated the mechanism.
"There was no problem with the mechanism of the coffin, which proves that the button was not broken at the time."
Tang Ze touched his chin and muttered: "And Mr. Dongzhou had already taken off the chains and black cloth on his body at that time, which means it was not suicide."
"But in this case, if the people at the bottom block the coffin mechanism and prevent it from opening, it will also prevent Mr. Dongzhou from escaping, right?"
Officer Megure looked at Teru Hoshino with a scrutinizing look on his face and said: "If we want to take action, you are the most likely suspect!"
"Wha, what!?"
Hearing Officer Megure's words, Hoshino Teru looked horrified and said: "How could I kill the father of my sweetheart!
If I really do this and let Keiko know that she will never forgive me again, how can I do this!"
"But, but, didn't you guys have a fight before?"
At this moment, Robert on the side asked in half-baked Japanese.
This also made Officer Memu's expression condensed: "What's going on? Is there something going on?"
"Is such that."
