"There may be a sixth method," Koshimizu Nanatsuki thought carefully, "because when he was about to talk about the sixth method, Mr. Mori called and said that you are waiting downstairs at the Mori Detective Agency, so we didn't do it again.
As soon as the experiment is over, I will go out and drive over to pick you up..."
"Hey, is this too exaggerated?" Suzuki Sonoko said in surprise, "Can such a safe and rigorous transportation method actually find so many exploitable loopholes?"
"Some methods are technological means, such as using magnet interference to disable the alarm in the padlock. Some methods are magic means, which can also be said to be blinding methods. It seems a bit naive to say it, but it is indeed feasible, so I believe it.
Kaitou Kidd can definitely open this kind of box, for example..." Nanatsuki Koshizui smiled and looked at the box on the stage. He was just about to share the magic trick mentioned by Chi Feichi when he saw the big box that had been opened by Kenzaki Osamu.
, the smile on his face suddenly solidified, and he subconsciously murmured, "Corpse..."
"Corpse?"
Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Maori, and Masumi Sera looked at the box on the stage in confusion, and quickly understood that the 'corpse' Koshimizu Nanatsuki mentioned was not a magic term, but a real corpse.
On the stage, Osamu Kenzaki stood next to the box, his right hand still opening the lid of the box.
A large box over one meter long was filled with apples. When the box was opened, six or seven apples fell out because they were so full.
The body of resident judge Masanori Takeki was buried in the apples in the box, with his head and knees exposed. His whole body was motionless and lifeless.
Shuu Kenzaki and the photographer who was holding a camera in front of the box looked shocked and froze in place.
The audience in the auditorium also let out surprised murmurs one after another, and then began to whisper.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki came to his senses, stood up, left his seat, and ran quickly towards the stage.
Sera Masumi immediately followed, "Xiaolan, Sonoko, wait for us here!"
Seeing that something was wrong, the staff of the program team turned on all the lights at the recording site, so that the stage and auditorium at the recording site were illuminated.
After crossing the water for seven months, Masumi Sera took advantage of the brightening light and sped up through the auditorium. He ran to the box and squatted down to check on Masanori Takeki.
"The body has become cold," Koshimizu Nanatsuki touched Masanori Takeki's neck, frowned and sighed, "It should have been a while since I died."
"It looks like this..." Sera Masanori saw blood on the side of Takeki Masanori's head, stretched out his hand to lift Takeki's head up, looked at the blood on the back of Takeki's head, and communicated with Koshizuki Nanatsuki in a low voice.
, "The cause of death should be the wound on the back of the head."
"There are traces of wiped blood on the edge of the box, and there are also traces on the inside of the box." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the box, "The padlock on this box can only be locked from the outside, but Mr. Takeki's body appeared inside the box, plus
The suspicious trace of the blood being wiped off means that someone knew that Mr. Takeki was dead before and put his body in the box and locked it. From this point of view, this should not be a simple accident, but
murdering case……"
Kensaki Osamu listened to the two whispering to each other for a while, and couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Takeki, is he...really dead?"
"That's right," Sera Masumi raised his head and looked at Kenzaki Shudo with a solemn expression, "So you call the police as soon as possible!"
"In addition, ask the audience at the recording site not to leave for the time being, and arrange them to other rooms to wait for the police to come," Koshimizu Nanatsuki added, "because there may be viewers who accidentally see something!"
"I understand," Kenzaki nodded calmly, then looked up at Mouri Kogoro's face on the big screen, "By the way, it would be better to invite Mr. Mouri to come and have a look, right?"
"Of course," Koshimizu Nanatsuki affirmed, "please arrange for staff to invite Mr. Mori to come over!"
More than ten minutes later, Mumu Shisan and others arrived at the Rimai TV building.
Kogoro Mouri and Yoko Okino who were in other rooms also arrived at the recording site, and the audience who were originally at the recording site were evacuated to other rooms to wait.
After the police took over the scene, they called in relevant personnel to understand the situation.
After explanations from Koshimizu Nanatsuki, Sera Masumi and others, Megure Thirteen finally understood the situation of the box in the show.
Later, the police discovered that the guest responsible for loading fruit into the box, Kasugaji Fumiya, also arrived at the recording scene.
Kasugaji Fumi said that he came last night after being invited by Takeki Masanori. The police learned from Kasuga Masanori that Takeki Masanori suspected that someone on the program team had leaked the theme fruit in advance. After investigation, they learned that Takeki Masanori invited him last night.
My friend, a director of a costume drama, allowed me to blend in with the costume drama ensemble, sneak into the TV station, and immediately went to check the surveillance cameras.
Masanori Takeki was indeed captured on surveillance.
At around nine o'clock last night, Masanori Takeki came alone outside the warehouse where the boxes were kept, looked around in the corridor, walked into the warehouse, and did not come out until this morning.
According to the condition of Masanori Takeki's body, it can be inferred that Masanori Takeki has been dead for more than twelve hours, which means that Masanori Takeki was killed last night. Since no one left the warehouse, no one who entered or left the warehouse later carried any large objects.
, that means the warehouse should be the first site.
Surveillance showed that after Masanori Takeki entered the warehouse last night, three more people entered the warehouse. These three people are also the most suspect people.
One is the director of the program team, Toshii Taroka. He entered the warehouse after 9:30, stayed in the warehouse for half an hour, and did not leave the warehouse until 10:05.
As the director of the program team, Toshii Taruoka is responsible for putting a lock on the box that the TV station is responsible for. However, Toshii Taruoka said that he usually puts the padlock in the drawer and asks assistant director Furuya Watari to lock it.
, the padlock key had been sent to the Dongdu Bank safe for safekeeping before that, and he would only transfer the key to the host when the show started. The entire program team can testify.
Regarding the reason why he entered the warehouse, Toshii Taruoka explained that he wanted to confirm whether the box had been delivered. Because the warehouse was so big and messy, he forgot where the box was and searched for a long time, so he was in the warehouse.
Stayed for half an hour.
The second person who entered the warehouse was Director Assistant Furuya Watari who locked the box.
Fang Gudu took two assistants to the front of the warehouse, leaving the two assistants at the door. He entered the warehouse and stayed in the warehouse for about half an hour.
Regarding the reason why he went to the warehouse, Furigaya Watari said that he also wanted to check the boxes because he was too busy at work to have time to smoke. After checking the boxes, he sat in the warehouse and smoked while reading emails. He smoked about three or four cigarettes.
I just left, so I only stayed in the warehouse for half an hour.
The third person who entered the warehouse was the guest Kasugaji Fumi who was responsible for loading fruits. He also stayed in the warehouse for half an hour.
As for the reason why he went to the warehouse, Kasugadera Fumi said that Takeki Masanori suspected that someone had leaked the fruit theme, which made him a little concerned. He was very sure that he had not leaked the fruit content to the outside world. He suspected that someone on the TV station had leaked the secret. He just last night
I would go to the TV station warehouse to check. I checked around the box several times and took photos with my mobile phone to show it to Masanori Takeki. I only stayed in the warehouse for half an hour.
In any case, apart from these three people, no one else entered the warehouse last night. Megure Shisan concluded that the murderer of Masanori Takeki was among these three people.
"But last night, after Mr. Kasuga put the fruit into the box at home, he locked his own padlock and asked someone to send the box to the TV station. Then Director Taruoka asked his assistant Mr. Furitani to lock the second lock and then put the box away.
It was delivered to Mr. Kasuga's house, and Mr. Kasuga opened the lock on his own, and then asked someone to send the box to the TV station's warehouse for safekeeping. Is this the correct process?" Megure Thirteen frowned and thought, "In this way,
When the box was placed in the warehouse for safekeeping, it should have been locked with the lock that the TV station was responsible for locking. The key to that lock had long been put into the Toto Bank safe. Director Tarugaoka and Mr. Furitani entered the warehouse one after another.
There is no key to open that lock..."
"In addition, Mr. Kasuga cannot open the lock," Mouri Kogoro also thought, "If Mr. Kasuga kills Mr. Takeki, he can only choose the time when he can put Mr. Takeki's body into the box."
The fruits were put into boxes and sent to the TV station. However, after Mr. Takeki left his home, he went to the TV station's warehouse alone, indicating that Mr. Takeki was killed after entering the warehouse. Mr. Kasuga did not have any in his hands at the time.
The key to the padlock on the box..."
Megure Thirteen had a headache, "So, the strangest thing now is, how did the murderer open the box and put Mr. Takeki's body inside?"
Hearing this question, Sera Masumi, Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko who were waiting aside immediately turned their heads and turned their attention to Koshimizu Nanatsuki who was standing next to the box.
"Well..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at Koshimi Nanatsuki blankly and said, "I remember Sister Nanatsuki said before that Brother Feichi seems to be able to open the box in more than one way..."
"Mr. Chi?"
The eyes of Osamu Kenzaki, Yoko Okino and several TV station staff also moved to Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
"Yes," Mao Lilan nodded, "Before we set off to the TV station in the morning, Sister Nanatsuki seemed to have done simulation experiments with Brother Feichi at home, and the methods mentioned by Brother Feichi were all successful..."
Sera Masumi also looked at Koshimi Nanatsuki, with a high-spirited look in his eyes, "If this is the case, it means that even if this box is locked, it can still be opened, right?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki was standing next to the box, observing and looking around, in a daze. When other people's eyes were focused on him, he came back to his senses, faced Sera Masumi's question, and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Mr. Takeki
After entering the warehouse, the box can still be opened..."
"So, where did Brother Chi go?" Mumu Shisan looked around and started looking for someone, "I didn't seem to see him when I came here."
