"Yeah, that's right," Dr. Ali said with bewildered eyes, "then let's..."
"Wait a little longer," Kudo Shinichi sighed helplessly, glanced at Miyano Shiho sitting next to him, and explained softly with some depression, "It's not that I'm worried, or that I want to go out to investigate, Brother Ariike
Now, this case can be solved without my intervention, but there is really no good chance to leave now. It is better to wait for Brother Chi to solve the incident. If this happens, the Miss Zephyr Beauty Contest will not be able to be held. By then, the police
It is no longer possible to stop the guests from leaving. We can also blend in with the guests and leave together, which will make it less likely to attract attention. With Brother Chi's ability, I believe we can leave without waiting too long."
…
Backstage, Chi Feichi took Takagi Sheba to the lift platform. The forensic personnel who were waiting for Takagi Sheba to contact came from the stage to the backstage and told Takagi Sheba what he had discovered.
In fact, this time, thanks to Gin, when he went to the TV station program director to watch the live video, he actually found some details that were helpful in solving the case.
"When I watched the video, I discovered that when Ms. Hualian was hung up, one side of her head had hair sticking unnaturally to her head. Although the light was dim, it could be seen that the hair on that side was much darker than the rest.
, it should be blood," Chi Feichi whispered, "Miss Hualian was hit hard on the head before she was hung up, and then the wire rope broke and she fell to the stage, causing many wounds on her body.
The injuries on her head also caused the police officers investigating at the scene, including us who saw the body at the beginning, to ignore the injuries on her head."
After an autopsy, the coroner can also determine these things, but it is still too late until the autopsy results come out. The murderer can destroy the evidence or abscond in fear of crime.
"In other words, it might not have been the stabbing in the chest that killed Miss Hualian, but the head injury, right?" Gao Mushe followed Chi Feichi's thinking.
Chi Feichi nodded and said, "The second discovery is the time when Miss Hualian was attacked. Judging from the video, the blood stains on her hair have dried up. In an environment with an average room temperature of 20 degrees,
With the amount of bleeding that soaked her hair, it would take at least three minutes for the blood stuck to her hair to solidify. Three minutes before going on stage, the staff just discovered that she had returned to the backstage, and they were sitting in front of the piano in the elevator, questioning her.
When she was ready, she waved to the staff, and then Yueshui and the others arrived and saw her sitting in front of the piano and watching the lift rise with their own eyes..."
Takagi Sheba frowned and sorted out his thoughts. A chill suddenly appeared on his body, and the hairs on his arms stood up. "There were many people watching Miss Hualian in the three minutes before she went on stage. It was impossible for her to be attacked.
Then, doesn’t that mean that she was attacked on the head even earlier? But she was still waving to other people at that time, and she didn’t ask for help from anyone else..."
"Puppet on a string," Chi Feichi confirmed the answer that made Takagi Wataru's hair stand on end. "You should have seen that there were fishing lines wrapped around her wrists by the murderer. It was those fishing lines that made her look like she was hanging up.
Like a puppet in advance, you can also use those fishing lines to make the dead woman wave. Because everyone in the room can see that her hands are hung up, even if there is a fishing line on her wrist,
The police won’t think much about the traces…”
When Takagi Wataru thought of the scene of a corpse being dragged by a fishing line to greet people, a chill rushed to the top of his head, and he said bravely, "That murderer is really cruel."
"Not only that, before the police came, I asked Miss Shou Meimei on the stage. She could confirm that the content of Miss Hualian's performance was the same as what was originally expected. This was also confirmed by the on-site supervision..."
Everyone gathered at the front stage of the venue, and the backstage lounge was cooperating with the police for questioning. No one stayed near the stage lift.
Also to facilitate the police investigation, all the lights were turned on, illuminating the area around the lift platform as bright as day.
There is too bright light in the room, there are piles of prop boxes, and there are many traces of people but not a single figure. This sometimes gives people an indescribable feeling of terror.
In this environment, the tone of Chi Feichi's voice echoed smoothly, causing the goosebumps on Takagi Wataru's arms to never go away.
"The second round of talent show is a key part to widen the score gap. If you perform well, you may get a higher score, so the details of the talent show are being kept secret by the Japanese ladies. Others may know what they want to do."
What instruments or skills they want to perform, but they don’t know what they want to use to get high scores..."
"Miss Hualian is not a very nervous person. She doesn't mind playing tricks when it comes to winning the competition. I think not many people knew in advance that Miss Hualian wanted to use Wia to fly around. We are also in China.
After Miss Lian disappeared, I heard what Miss Shou Meimei said on the way to find her..."
"As for Miss Hualian wearing a belt around her waist under her dress, only those who trust Miss Hualian enough and are related to today's competition can know. It can also be said that the murderer is at the scene and can provide her with the necessary information if necessary.
Help, if this were not the case, there would be no need for her to share such details with the other party..."
"Therefore, the most suspicious people are Miss Hualian's mother, Mrs. Meiling, and her sister, Miss Meimei. Secondly, there is on-site supervision that needs to know the content of the display and arrange the props. After that, Miss Hualian may also inadvertently talk to someone.
I have shared this with my ex-boyfriend Mr. Shoichi Amano who also performs on stage.”
Shou Hualian is not the kind of person who would publicize the content of the second round of performances everywhere, but the murderer knew the content of Shou Hualian's original performance, and even knew the details very clearly. It can almost be judged that the murderer is close to Shou Hualian
people.
The murderer probably wanted people to think that Shou Hualien was still alive backstage. He was sitting in front of the piano and was shot through the heart with a dagger on the way to the stage by the elevator, and his wrist was wrapped with fishing line, so he acted like this.
plan.
As for Shou Hualien's body falling from the air to the stage, the murderer probably tampered with the wire rope in order to break Shou Hualian's body in more than one place, so that the injury to Shou Hualian's head would not look so suspicious.
.
If it hadn't been discovered from the live video that Shou Hualien's head was injured when she first came on stage, they might still be being led by the murderer.
"However," Chi Feichi looked at Takagi Shede and said, "the murderer should be Miss Shou Meimei..."
…
Half an hour later, relevant people and the police gathered backstage.
"According to the inspection by forensic personnel, the fishing lines tied to Miss Hualien's hands detected the fibers on the clothes of the puppet that Mr. Amano held." Megure Thirteen looked at Amano Shoichi with a stern look, "Mr. Amano
, I hope you can come with us to the Metropolitan Police Department."
There was no surprise or surprise on Amano Xiang's face, he nodded in a daze, "Yes..."
"I said it from the beginning, he is a prisoner! Before Hua Lian broke up with him at my request, he must have resented Hua Lian for abandoning him and also resented me for interfering in their relationship, so he brutally killed Hua Lian
!" Shou Meiling rushed forward and grabbed Amano Xiangyi's collar with both hands, tears streaming down her face, and the hatred in her eyes almost overflowed, "Give Hualian back to me! Hualian has the strength to compete in the World Series.
The winning child is the most perfect work of art that I personally created! She is so perfect... If you hadn’t killed her, she would definitely have won the World Series championship trophy and become a goddess admired by countless people!"
The girls looked at Shou Meiling with complicated expressions, and the two contestants Jingmei and Chengxiang looked at Shou Meimei quietly, with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
Shou Meiling does care about her daughter, but she seems to care more about what her daughter can bring to herself.
This is not just about being "not good at expressing". Even if you are not good at expressing, as long as Shou Meiling cares more about her daughter's health and happiness, it will definitely be revealed in her words.
They suddenly felt that Shou Hualian was very pitiful, and Shou Hualian was already dead, and even the body was taken away by the police. They could not see Shou Hualian, so they could only look at Shou Meimei's reaction first and sympathize with Shou Meiling.
My daughter has a beautiful life.
Shou Meimei looked at Amano Xiang with a cold face. When she noticed that others were looking at her, she lowered her eyes and looked away. She stepped forward to grab her mother and persuaded her in a low voice, "Mom, just let the police take him away."
Sato Miwako also helped pull Shou Meiling away, and winked at Takagi Wataru, urging, "Takagi, take Mr. Amano out first!"
"Yes!" Takagi Wataru saw Amano Shoichi's eyes dim and said, "Mr. Amano, we suspect that you are related to the murder of Miss Shou Hualien. Now we want you to come back with us to assist in the investigation. Please come with me!"
Amano Shoichi lowered his head and followed Takagi Wataru toward the back door of the backstage, his expression gloomy, like a walking zombie.
When passing by Koshimizu Nanatsuki, Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked aloud, "Mr. Amano, are you really the murderer of Miss Hualien?"
Amano Xiang raised his head and looked at the group of people staring at him with different expressions. He was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, haven't we already found the evidence? No matter how I explain, it will be a waste of time. I might as well plead guilty."
"I didn't expect it to be you..." Miura Daigo looked at Amano Shoichi with disgust and disdain, but it was mixed with disgust at the destruction of the beauty pageant. He soon felt sad for the terminated competition and stepped forward.
He smiled bitterly at Mumu Shisan and said, "Officer, the guests at the venue have been impatient for a long time. Now that the murderer has been caught, you see..."
"Then let the guests in the venue leave first!" Mu Mu Shisan looked at the others again, exchanged glances with Chi Fei without leaving any trace, and said seriously, "Our police will seal off the banquet hall soon, and everyone will also
Everyone go back!"
Miura Daigo breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Chi Feichi and said, "I've asked someone to organize the guests to leave, so I'm sorry," and turned around and left quickly.
After seeing such a terrifying 'performance', the guests were no longer in the mood to stay in the hotel. Some people wished they could stay far away from the hotel. It was impossible for the beauty pageant to be held anymore.
The most troublesome thing was that the guests were already very impatient after being blocked in the venue for more than an hour. Some of them tried to show restraint and did not embarrass him or the staff, but some of them had already lost their temper at him.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone, and he, who should be in a bad mood, had to apologize and coax him.
