Dongcheng Huanyang is a scumbag, and he is a fighting scumbag among scumbags. He is a scumbag at his core.
Generally, women who work as magic assistants have certain requirements for appearance, and their appearance must definitely pass the test.
Generally, if you attack one of them, even if they break up, you will have some scruples if you want to develop a relationship with another person.
As a result, the two assistants Dongcheng Huanyang, one was his ex-wife and the other was his ex-girlfriend. According to the order, they broke up with the ex-girlfriend they had been with for three years and then married his ex-wife.
As a result, he continued to cheat after getting married and eventually divorced.
Then it was outrageous that the three of them continued to work together. Dongcheng Huanyang was not killed by the two hatchets until today. Tang Ze even thought that the other party was destined to be lucky.
Of course, complaints are complaints, and Karasawa soon continued to listen to Mouri Kogoro introduce the third suspect.
The next person is named Ishida Kazuma. He is the beloved disciple of the deceased Tojo Huanyang. In order for him to learn magic well, the deceased specially arranged for him to be responsible for the photography work.
Although he is only 19 years old this year, he is quite talented in magic. He is a child with a very upright personality. He is also the most trusted person in Dongcheng Huanyang in the magic troupe.
As for the man wearing a blue shirt and with long hair, his name is Shoji Shingo, and he is thirty-seven years old.
The two of them were originally brothers, but because he did not have the talent to become a magician, he was hired by Dongcheng Huanyang to do planning work.
But according to what Mouri Kogoro learned from Tojo Huanyang.
Because the magic show arranged by Shoji Shingo had always been somewhat inconsistent with the deceased's ideas, he originally planned to ask him to leave after this performance, or to put it bluntly, to fire him.
As for the last person, this is Minoru Hasegawa, who is in charge of the crane. He is forty-five years old this year.
He owed the deceased Dongcheng Huanyang several debts. If he died, the money owed would not have to be repaid.
It can be said that there are a total of 5 people in the magic troupe except for the deceased Dongcheng Huanyang.
Except for his disciple Kazuma Ishida, who had no motive to kill him, everyone else in the world had motives to kill him.
After understanding the suspects' information, the basic situation of the case has become clear, but nothing can be seen from the video alone.
After all, the deceased Dongcheng Huanyang was also killed under the gaze of countless viewers, and the content of the video only recorded the scene seen from the perspective of the audience.
Since no one can see the flaw, it means that the criminal's method is not so easy to crack.
"As for this magic issue, I wonder if you can tell us the specific technique in detail?"
Tang Ze looked at the five people who had been summoned and asked.
"This... Let's talk about it..." Misa Uehara looked confused.
"Magician's Code?"
Tang Ze saw the expressions of embarrassment on several people's faces, but he wasn't too surprised. "Well, let me tell you about the magic techniques and you can help me judge whether what I said is correct. In this way, you don't have to be embarrassed. How about that?"
"If that's the case, it's okay." Nakagawa Chiaki nodded.
"Generally speaking, the secret to the water tank escape magic lies on the lid of the sink. No matter how difficult it seems to break free of the "lock", the mechanism should be inseparable from the lid of the sink."
Tangze knelt down and checked the sink lid, with a look of understanding on his face: "It's true."
"Did you find anything, Karasawa Criminal Investigation?" Mouri Kogoro looked at the sink lid curiously.
"The mechanism is here." Tangze pointed to the round hole in the middle of the shackles where the legs were placed. There was a simple padlock there. Where the latch was connected, there was no shaft for fixation.
"Strange? Why is there no fixed shaft?" Takagi on the side asked puzzledly.
"This is where the agency is."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "This sink cover that looks like a 'shackle' opens from the middle, and there are ring-shaped 'lock beams' that can be buckled on the left and right sides.
Although the cover latch was put on the protrusion during the magic trick and locked with a large lock, the assistant also removed the middle shaft at the same time.
This way, even if the other end is locked, the other end of the lid latch can be easily opened.
And that's the secret of this magic."
"It's really amazing, Mr. Criminal, what you said is absolutely right." Kazuma Ishida couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing Karasawa's words: "I didn't expect you to find out the secret of this magic so quickly."
"A friend has performed this magic trick before, so I have some understanding of it."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "I think the subsequent method should be similar. It is nothing more than using the strength of the abdomen to stand up, then grab the handle hidden on the inside of the lid, and then open the lid to ventilate.
Then when the curtain opened, I pretended to be struggling.”
"Yes, when the curtain opened, I did not see Mr. Tojo send me a distress signal, so the other party's struggle at that time must have been just an act." After hearing Karasawa's words, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but agree.
"Under normal circumstances, Dongcheng Huanyang would have opened the handcuffs on his hands, then used the strength of his abdomen to push his body up, and then grabbed the hand hidden in the lid to stand up, so that he could stand up from the sink.
"
When Tangze said this, he looked at the paused video and said seriously: "Obviously, the prisoner probably tampered with the sink after the curtain was lowered for the second time, so that Dongcheng Huanyang could not open the lid and drowned in the sink.
middle."
"I understand, the criminals are Miss Misa Uehara and Chiaki Nakagawa!"
After listening to Karasawa's techniques for breaking magic, Mouri Kogoro immediately pointed at the two of them. This move immediately aroused dissatisfaction from the two of them, and they started questioning each other.
"One of you is his girlfriend of three years, and the other is his ex-wife. You must be very dissatisfied with being abandoned by him."
Mouri Kogoro said solemnly: "So you two conspired to kill Mr. Tojo.
I think you made a fake move and left the latch shaft in the sink that was supposed to be removed from the sink cover."
"What a joke!"
"We obviously had to pull it out!"
After Misa Uehara and Chiaki Nakagawa heard what Kogoro Mouri said, they immediately retorted dissatisfiedly and at the same time reached out and took out the latch shaft.
"And the cover is open now, isn't it?" Nakagawa Chiaki said, walking towards the sink cover and pulling it apart: "Look, the lock is still on the other end, which is opened from the latch shaft!"
"You must have pulled it out while you were rescuing Mr. Tojo." Mouri Kogoro said weakly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Misa Uehara said dissatisfied: "Qianaki and I were supporting Mr. Tojo's body just now!
Besides, the person holding the lid is obviously you!"
"Eh? Is that so?" Mouri Kogoro said confused.
"Uncle, was the lid of the sink open at that time?" Conan asked from the side.
"The situation was too urgent at the time, and I really had no time to take care of anything else..." Mouri Kogoro touched his head: "Now I'm not sure either..."
"At that time, I was thinking about saving Mr. Tojo, so I thought about untying Mr. Tojo's feet. The lid did open at once." After hearing the conversation between several people, Shoji Shingo spoke about the situation at that time.
"If you put it that way, the shaft has indeed been pulled out again." Miwako Sato heard this.
"Let's watch the video again." Takagi suggested on the side.
But it is a pity that the video shot by Kazuma Ishida did not capture the key to the techniques of Misa Uehara and Chiaki Nakagawa because they were afraid of exposing their techniques.
As for Mouri Kogoro, although he did reach the sink lid at first, he immediately ran over to give the other party artificial respiration. When the screen switched to Shoji Shingo, the sink lid had already been opened.
It can be said that this video perfectly missed the two most critical points, and everyone still learned nothing.
"You were at the scene, did you feel anything was wrong?"
Tangze on the side looked at Conan and asked in a low voice.
"I remember that the chain seemed to have been kept underneath..." Conan recalled carefully: "By the way, after the curtain was raised for the second time, it became dark for a while..."
"Really?" Tang Ze touched his chin, very interested in Conan's clues.
As for Mouri Kogoro...
Although I am very embarrassed, the reverse elimination method has allowed Karasawa to eliminate Misa Uehara and Chiaki Nakagawa.
Although this case seems to be a high-end "choose one from five", in fact, the core is still "choose one from three classics".
However, some of the details that Conan noticed before the incident were very noteworthy.
Although the places that the other party is paying attention to now seem to be insignificant places, Karasawa will not ignore these clues.
Karasawa quickly came to the sink cover and checked the latch.
"This latch seems a little strange."
Tangze looked at the connecting shaft of the latch: "Generally speaking, the connecting shaft should be longer in the middle and shorter on both sides, right?
Why is it two short ones at the top and longer at the bottom, and there is a round hole at the bottom."
Tang Ze looked at the round hole on the connecting shaft and frowned: "Why does this hole feel like it was made by man?"
"I'll go find someone and ask." Conan trotted out and slipped out. With Tang Ze's "Sword of Shang Fang" here, Conan could go and investigate under the banner of Tang Ze.
As for Karasawa, he planned to check the video carefully from the beginning.
As we all know, in reasoning cases, the video taken at the scene of the crime will inevitably contain clues. If you don't find it, it can only be said that you are not paying attention.
Ke Xue World has obviously inherited this. When Conan ran to ask for clues, Tang Ze also carefully checked the video bit by bit.
When the scene again showed Kogoro Mouri rescuing people, Karasawa put a smile on his lips.
"Looking at your expression, have you found any key clues?" Conan walked over at some point and couldn't help but ask after seeing Tangze's expression.
"That's right." Tang Ze looked at Conan and smiled: "Do you have any news over there?"
"I asked Kazuma Ishida, and he said that the lock was replaced not long ago." Conan said, "And the person responsible for changing the lock is Shoji Shingo."
"Then everything is connected."
Tang Ze stood up from his seat: "Let's go and solve the case."
Tangze walked out of the surveillance camera and soon met Takagi, so he asked the other party to notify relevant personnel to gather in the performance hall.
Everyone who got the news quickly rushed to the scene and looked at Tang Ze standing on the stage.
"You said you found the prisoner, is that true?" Misa Uehara looked at Karasawa and asked.
"That's right." Tang Ze nodded and said: "This case is indeed a bit special. After all, this is a magic show site, and there are many institutions in it.
The prisoners added their own mechanisms to these mechanisms.
It can be said that what is presented here is a double or even triple mechanism, but I still found some flaws."
"This criminal, please stop pretending. Who is the criminal!?" Ishida Kazuma asked anxiously: "Who killed the teacher!?"
"Shoji Shingo." Without any hesitation or any further excuses, Karasawa pointed to the man aside: "The prisoner is you who is in charge of the planning work."
"You, what did you say!?" Shoji Shingo said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Are you talking nonsense? Listen to what I say and then refute it."
Karasawa looked at Shoji Shingo with an angry face and said, "You were supposed to be backstage, watching the underwater escape show through the small screen, but you are actually not there, but on the beam directly above the water tank."
Karasawa's words made everyone startled and looked up to the top of the stage. Then Officer Takagi said with some confusion: "But if you are hiding in a place like that, can't you see Misa-san and the others from the audience or the stage?"
"No, you can't see it from the audience."
Tang Ze pointed to the top of the stage: "Because the lights above the sink cannot shine, it is dark.
Moreover, if all the lights are turned on, it will be too dazzling to observe the environment above.
Even Mr. Hasegawa in the background couldn't see him."
"Even so, how could he kill Mr. Tojo?" Miwako Sato on the side asked puzzledly: "The camera from the auditorium did not capture anyone approaching the water tank..."
"Yes, this is impossible!" Shoji Shingo looked at Karasawa and asked, "There is no way to get close to the water tank without being noticed by the audience!"
"impossible?"
Tang Ze smiled and said, "You can easily get slapped in the face if you talk too much.
During the magic show, when Ms. Misa Uehara showed the audience how Mr. Buji was struggling in pain, the curtain also rose to the beams.
At this time, you can use the cover of the curtain to follow the chain that fixes the water tank and get to the sink cover!
By the time the curtain is raised again, you have already jumped above the sink cover, and it is impossible for the audience to see you!
I think this shouldn’t be a particularly difficult thing for you, who used to be a magician and is very skilled, right?”
After the words fell, everyone's eyes focused on the pale-faced Shoji Shingo.
