Fortunately, although this ability cannot be hidden from smart people, it is more than enough to fool some people.
The two police officers did not cast doubt on this enthusiastic citizen who had saved the plane. Their eyes had followed Maya Hashimoto's question and turned to the remaining members of the magic troupe.
——Yes, who is the murderer?
Sensing their doubts, Jiang Xia came to the wall of Room 115 and pointed to the two jadeite stones placed on the shelf:
"The road is reopening faster than expected. In order to rush for time, the 'Hell Puppet Master' made a small mistake when killing the 'Mermaid Princess' Miss Yukai."
Others followed his direction and looked at the two heavy stones, feeling vaguely that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.
He specializes in the art, but the hotel manager who was watching noticed something unusual. He was surprised and asked: "Why are there two rough stones in this room?"
As a specialty here, they put a jadeite stone as an ornament in each room.
But at this time, in this unoccupied room, there were actually two stones - one more than normal.
Jiang Xia tapped the heavy stone in front of her with her fingers: "There is an extra stone because someone took down the jadeite in Room 215 upstairs and put it here.
"The performance of 'Mermaid Princess' requires a lot of physical strength. Ms. Yukai is physically strong and her strength is not inferior to that of men.
"This made the murderer's process of killing her not smooth. Before she died, Ms. Yuhai let out a loud scream. This sound attracted the attention of other people in the hotel.
"There are witnesses in the corridor, and others will soon follow the sound. In this case, the murderer cannot escape through the front door under any circumstances.
"In order to leave this room, he had to change his original plan and adopt the method used in the second case. He planned to use the rope and the body of the 'Mermaid' to slide down the stairs smoothly like a seesaw.
"So the 'Hell Puppet Master' first tied the body with a rope and lowered her from the window to the ground. Then he hung the rope on the branch outside the window, pulled the other end of the rope, and wanted to land smoothly... But right here
At that time, he discovered a problem.
"——His weight was lighter than that of the dead 'Mermaid'. This caused him to hang on it and not be able to fall down.
"So he had no choice but to return to the room in desperation, pick up the 10-pound piece of jade in the room, break his balance, and successfully leave the scene of the murder."
"..."
Compared with the previous large-scale magic that was carefully prepared and shocked everyone, in Jiang Xia's description at this time, the magician hanging anxiously from the tree looked particularly embarrassed.
The magician who is fully prepared and the magician who meets by chance are like two completely different species.
Maya Hashimoto: "..." I wonder if Usa-sama's stage will also have this shortcoming. If... wait, stop, I'm thinking of something dangerous! This is not what I should be thinking!
Unlike the organization members who were quietly distracted, people nearby had begun to follow Jiang Xia's words and look for the murderer who was about to emerge.
Soon, their eyes stopped on the trainee female magician: "Miss Zanjian, I didn't expect you to be so secretive."
"???" The trainee female magician was stunned, "What are you talking about? I'm not a murderer! If I could come up with that trick, would I be a magic apprentice here?"
Conan looked at these pig teammates speechlessly. Even though Jiang Xia had spoken so much, they actually made the wrong choice: "What are you doing around Miss Zanjian? - Have you forgotten that at the Lake Center Theater before, Magic
Have the members of the group reported their weight?"
He flipped through the small book in his hand: "Uncle Sakuraba the 'Psychic Medium' is 81 kilograms, Uncle Sakonji the Clown is 72 kilograms, Miss Zanma is 55 kilograms, Sister Yukai the 'Mermaid Princess' is 53 kilograms..."
"?!"
The two policemen were stunned: "Mermaid Girl" is actually lighter than the female trainee magician?
"Could it be that someone lied about their weight?" Officer Takagi scratched his head, "Or maybe their weight difference is too small and they need to increase a little to slide smoothly?"
Jiang Xia shook his head: "It was raining at that time, and the branches were slippery. They could slide without a big weight difference. And you forgot that there was another person - Mr. Gao Yuanyi, the manager of the magic troupe. I remember he said before
, he only weighs 50 kilograms."
"……manager?"
The three remaining magicians were startled and looked at the conscientious and honest man in disbelief: "Did Gao Yuan do these things? How is this possible!"
Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head: "If it's not him, then could it be you who did it?"
The three magicians: "..." Still, let Gao Yuan do it.
Next to her, Jiang Xia looked up and down at the sparkling water fountain in front of her: It was so tall and yet so light, yet could control such a heavy puppet. It seemed that this 'Hell Puppet Master' had a similar structure to classmate Maori - he sounded like him at first glance.
The Haixin Theater is very popular, and I highly recommend staying in Yoneka Town.
While he was looking at the magician candidate opposite him with satisfaction, Gao Yuanyao, who had all his tricks exposed, was silent for a moment, then suddenly pushed up his glasses and revealed an indescribable smile.
The facial features are obviously still the same, but with the slight change in expression, the timid look before suddenly disappeared - the good-looking magic troupe manager quietly disappeared, replaced by a high-ranking murderer, a murderer even if he was arrested by the police.
The murderer surrounded and still looked down at his prey calmly.
"My premonition was indeed very accurate." Gao Yuanyao smiled, "There is only one last step left to complete the greatest magic trick in my life. Unfortunately, everything ended in the hands of you, a detective... Yes, and
As you said, I am the murderer in these cases."
Maya Hashimoto was enjoying her meal peacefully, but at this moment she suddenly thought: "..." Wait, there is no solid evidence at all, how could you plead guilty so quickly? If you go to jail, my magician candidate should go
Where to find it! - After watching your performance, Master Uzo will definitely not be easily dismissed by other magicians... When you guys plead guilty, can you think about the poor and innocent interviewer!
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked at the magician who confessed honestly and seemed to have the same question.
Gao Yuanyuan looked at him and spread his hands helplessly: "The magician has seen through the audience's trick, so of course he should pull down the curtain and leave the show voluntarily."
Officer Sato was relieved for his good confession attitude, but...
She puzzled: "If you want to take revenge, you can take revenge. Why did you send a threatening letter to invite us to come and watch? Isn't this just a case of arrest?"
