The director of the cinema noticed his suspicion of the male college student and quickly smoothed things over: "Mr. Ide is a fan of special effects movies and is more familiar with movies than we are. It's normal for him to remember the time at that time."
The Mumu Police Department secretly glanced at Jiang Xia.
Seeing that Jiang Xia seemed to be still waiting for clues and did not doubt the male college student's intentions, he nodded calmly and did not hold on to the student.
He asked someone to ask with the newly obtained time. Not long after, a young police officer ran back with a notebook: "Police Department! We got the testimony provided by the ticket office - around the time of death of the deceased, there were only
Jiang Xia and those children, three employees of the theater, and a male college student who often comes here. In addition..."
He hesitated and said, "Ten minutes later, three people left the theater in a hurry."
"Oh?!" When the Mumu Police Department heard the word "hurry", the police instinct engraved in his DNA was activated. He wanted to wave his hand and immediately ask his subordinates to capture the three people for questioning.
But soon, he remembered something, sighed again, and waved his hand: "First, focus on investigating the theater."
Countless witnesses have confirmed that the shadow on the screen appeared at 12:44: This shows that the murderer hung the person at this time to block the projection. Moreover, after turning on the light, the hanging body was still shaking slightly.
, which further proves that the murderer did not leave too far at that time, otherwise the body must have been still.
So anyone who left the theater before that was naturally no longer suspected.
Let's screen it from inside the theater. Anyway, there are only 4 people besides Jiang Xia, and he is very skilled in dealing with this kind of crowd.
Thinking of this, the Mumu Police Department confirmed to the young police officer: "Is the testimony reliable?"
The young police officer nodded: "Since the movie started, the ticket seller has been standing in the passage outside the door. By the way, the lady also said that the deceased often came to this theater to cause trouble, and there were many viewers every time he came.
He left the venue in a hurry, so the three customers who ran out at that time must have done the same."
The Memu Police Department nodded and accepted this statement.
However, a primary school student next to him pricked up his ears silently.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "..." In my impression, a couple was indeed scared away by the deceased, but... what about the person I met when I went to the toilet?
If I remember correctly, the man dressed in black, carrying a hat and sunglasses, who looked like a bad guy, did not come into contact with the deceased at all, but turned around and ran away as soon as he entered the door. This guy was obviously not like other customers.
Same.
Do you want to say it...
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was ready to make a move, but he was worried that his empty talk would be regarded as causing trouble, so he hesitated briefly.
Compared with his entanglement, the police's goal next to him was much clearer.
The Mu Mu Police Department glanced at the theater director, saleswoman, projectionist, and the male college student who was more familiar with the theater than the employees. Under the nervous gazes of the four people, he said calmly: "Brother Jiang Xia, what do you think?"
Male college student: "..."
He pushed up his glasses and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia a few more times: No wonder he could control a group of scary six- or seven-year-old kids - even the police obeyed his words, how could a private detective's words be so effective?
Jiang Xia came over after hearing this, but before she could say anything, the conductor couldn't help but said: "Why must we be the one who killed the person? Couldn't it be that nasty guy who hanged himself?"
The projectionist also said: "Look at our group, the curator has to use a cane to walk, the conductor is too tired to lift a box of snacks, Mr. Ide is as thin as a stick, how can he have the strength to lift that guy?"
hang up.
"The only one who has the strength is me, but I stayed in the screening room during the screening and never went out. Excluding the four of us, the truth is obvious. Either the bastard committed suicide, or these children and these children
Detective's murder - it can't really be detective's murder. If you ask me, this is suicide."
When the conductor lady heard that he had fished everyone out of the theater, she was immediately moved and helped each other: "I can prove that Mr. Furuhashi is innocent! The time you mentioned was when the corpse blocked the screen, and I happened to enter the screening.
I sent a lunch box and tea to Mr. Furuhashi in the room. He was busy working at the time and never left."
The Mumu Police Department touched his chin: "Then the suspicion of you two can be eliminated. The only suspects left are the director and the college student in the screening room... I understand!"
He looked at the two men: "Although you don't seem to have much strength, you are still two men after all. As long as you work together, it will not be difficult to hang the deceased there together!"
Male college student: "..." No wonder these policemen want to listen to the detective.
He didn't panic at all. He sneered and took out his precious digital camera: "Don't jump to conclusions in such a hurry. I also have an alibi."
Jiang Xia walked over and looked at the camera screen he called up.
What was shot inside was a close-up of the elf comforting Gomera. The beautiful elf opened his arms towards the screen. It was supposed to be a pleasing picture, but unfortunately the whole picture was half blocked by a black shadow - from the shape
From the looks of it, the black shadow should be the skull of the deceased and a length of rope extending from the top of his head.
The Mumu Police Department also came over. From the beginning, he felt that this male college student who could accurately remember the time of death was very suspicious: "But this is just a still photo, and your seat is very far back. You can hang him and then rush
Go to your seat and take photos.”
The male college student was startled, and his calmness disappeared a little. He quickly added: "You can turn forward again! All the photos were taken at the same angle. My camera is older and does not have an automatic continuous shooting function.
There was no way to control it remotely - these photos are enough to prove that I stayed in my seat!"
Mumu Police Department was a little persuaded, but suddenly, he remembered a case that Jiang Xia helped another policeman solve when he was traveling. The murderer in it seemed to have thought of using similar techniques.
His eyes suddenly sharpened: "No, this camera does not have the function of recording the shooting time, and I heard that you have often come to this theater before - you can take photos at other times in advance and then pretend that this is
Taken today."
The male college student was stunned.
Didn't this policeman look like he was easy to fool just now? Why did he suddenly become so strict when he arrived?
He was confused for a moment.
At this moment, Jiang Xia suddenly said: "This should be the new photo taken today. We are in front of him. If you look carefully at the shadows at the bottom of the photo, you can see that I and a few children are also in the photo."
Male college student: "!"
For a moment, he felt that the private detective was shining with the golden light of merit.
