After seeing Tangze, Sonoko excitedly waved her arms to indicate their location.
"You two, are you okay?" Karasawa asked with concern as he reached out to hold Ayako's hand.
"Nothing happened. I was just a little scared when I saw the case happening in front of me."
Ayako said with lingering fear: "The Ferris wheel above us suddenly caught fire, and it was in the sky at the time. We were all afraid that the Ferris wheel would fall down when it burned."
"Yes, it's simply too scary." Yuanzi also looked frightened: "I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that there is really a ghost in that Ferris wheel!"
"ghost?"
Hearing Yuanzi's words, Tang Ze raised his brows with a hint of coldness on his face: "It's just man-made. There are not so many gods and ghosts in this world."
"But it's really different this time." Yuanzi said this and looked at her sister: "Right."
"Yes." Ayako nodded after hearing this: "The key is that the deceased was on the Ferris wheel alone, and there was no second person at all."
"There is no second person?"
Tang Ze glanced at the towering Ferris wheel next to him, with a slightly different color in his eyes: "In other words, this is a murder case in a high-altitude secret room?"
"If it's not a ghost, that's it."
With Tang Ze here, Yuanzi became a lot bolder, and even began not to believe in ghosts.
"Then let's start from the beginning."
Tangze thought about it and added: "Start before you get on the Ferris wheel, including who you met and what you said while queuing.
Regardless of whether you think it is useful or not, please tell me in detail what you can think of."
The reason why Karasawa explained this is because since Sonoko and Ayako became the triggers of this case, then maybe the two of them had some connection with the case before the incident.
Maybe a certain sentence or something will become a clue to the case, so there is such a warning.
"knew."
Hearing Karasawa's words, Ayako and Sonoko nodded one after another. They complemented each other's words and described in detail what happened before the case occurred.
half an hour ago.
Ayako accompanied Sonoko to the amusement park, and the tall and huge Ferris wheel immediately caught Sonoko's attention.
This Ferris wheel is 120 meters high, and it takes 20 minutes to complete a full circle. Yuanzi can't wait to take a ride.
The two arrived at their destination soon, but when they arrived at the entrance, they found that there were not many people on the side of the Ferris wheel.
You know, when the two of them passed various amusement facilities before, there were long queues for each one, but on the other hand, this Ferris wheel had very few people.
There was just a beautiful woman with a naughty kid holding a water gun at the front.
But just when the two of them were confused, the conversation between the two girls behind them solved their doubts.
One of the girls looked a little scared and said she was afraid of a monster coming out.
The other girl obviously didn't believe it, so the scared girl told the legend about this Ferris wheel vividly.
It is said that there is a guy on this Ferris wheel who committed suicide with a shotgun, and he will appear randomly every afternoon.
And because the passengers are inside the Ferris wheel, they can't run even if they want to.
After hearing this, the other girl was also scared, and the two finally gave up riding the Ferris wheel.
After hearing this rumor, Ayako and Sonoko looked at each other, wondering whether they should continue riding.
But just as they were hesitating, they saw the amusement park's president Kanahama Yasuzo and managing director Takeshi Kobayashi approaching.
"I really don't know which bastard guy is actually spreading such hateful rumors!" Kanahama Yasuzou cursed and walked over.
"But president, many staff members said they saw it." Takeshi Kobayashi, a thin man wearing glasses next to him, said weakly after hearing what the president said.
"Idiot, if even you, the managing director, believe such baseless rumors, how can you continue to do business?"
Kanahama Yasuzo cursed loudly after hearing Takeshi Kobayashi's words, and immediately said: "Other amusement facilities in our theme park are so popular, but this Ferris wheel with an investment of more than 1 billion has not yet played its due role!
After a while, everyone will understand that the "world's first Ferris wheel" we built is just a simple decoration!
At that time, what was the difference between us and other amusement parks? Sooner or later we would disappear into oblivion!"
"President, that's what you said." Takeshi Kobayashi nodded and bowed but said with a grimace, "But there's no need for us to ride the Ferris wheel ourselves, right?"
"Only when I, as the president, sit on it myself can I have the strongest evidence that this is just a rumor!"
Kanahama Yasuzo looked at Takeshi Kobayashi who was too timid to ride the Ferris wheel, and he cursed again.
But Takeshi Kobayashi just didn't dare to sit down, and Kanaba Yasuo was so angry that his face turned red.
When Ayako and Sonoko heard this, they originally wanted to refuse, but they didn't expect Kanahama Yasuzo to recognize them.
Because the other party had business dealings with the Suzuki family, Kanahama Yasuzo immediately changed his face when he saw the two of them. Not only did he give them lifetime membership cards to the amusement park, but he also graciously invited them to ride the Ferris wheel.
It is obvious that Kanahama Yasuzou is determined to hope that the two ladies of the Suzuki family can also become his weapon to break the rumors.
This time, the two of them were in a difficult situation. In addition, Yuanzi originally wanted to ride the Ferris wheel, so the two of them accepted each other's invitation without hesitation.
Of course, although they accepted Kanahama Yasuzo's invitation, the two Suzuki sisters did not ride on the same Ferris wheel as each other. After all, they were not very familiar with each other.
However, Kanahama Yasuzo didn't force it. After all, if the two Suzuki sisters were willing to ride the Ferris wheel, he had already achieved his goal. If they sit together again, they might be annoying.
Kanahama Yasuzo entered first, while the Suzuki sisters entered a box behind the opponent.
As the Ferris wheel slowly rotated, the box the two of them were in became higher and higher.
Not long after, the horn in the box sounded, informing the two that they were about to reach the 120-meter highest point of the Ferris wheel.
The two of them were also attracted by the beautiful scenery overlooking the sky.
"Ah, by the way, we also saw another amusement park nearby."
When Yuanzi said this, he seemed to have thought of something and added: "But that amusement park looks very deserted. There are only a few people there, which is completely different from the excitement here."
"Then while we were discussing the amusement park, it suddenly felt like it was raining."
Ayako on the side followed closely and said: "Just when we looked at the sky and found that it was cloudless, we suddenly heard the screams of President Kanahama."
"The other party shouted [Hey! Stop it!!], [You bastard, I told you to stop it quickly, didn't you hear it!] and so on."
Sonoko vividly imitated Kanahama Yasuzo's shouts at that time, and then said: "Then he seemed to see something and exclaimed [this, what is this], and then heard his screams."
"After that, we saw that the box above was on fire." Ayako said with a unbearable expression: "At that time, Kanabain kept screaming, shouting "Yano, is this your resentful spirit?", "It's me"
No, please forgive me]."
But this had no effect. Even Takeshi Kobayashi and others below also discovered that the Ferris wheel was on fire. They called the fire truck and also asked the staff operating the Ferris wheel to speed up the Ferris wheel.
However, the top speed of the Ferris wheel was still very slow, and coupled with the height of 120 meters, when the box where Kanahama Yasuzo was located came down from the highest point, the fire truck came to put out the fire, and the other party was burned alive.
"A resentful spirit?" Tang Ze touched his chin when he heard this: "The "house" the other party called is very concerning."
After listening to what Ayako and the two said, Karasawa asked them to stand there and wait while he put on his white gloves and walked towards the burned box.
Because he was burned alive, Kanahama Yasuzo looked very miserable, and his expression when he died was full of fear, as if he had seen something terrifying before he died.
"I have told President Jin Bin that the interior of the Ferris wheel's box should be made of non-flammable materials."
Just as Tang Ze was inspecting the body, a middle-aged man in uniform walked up to the side and said with regret.
Tang Ze looked at the man and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the designer of this Ferris wheel, my name is Zenggen Houzhao." The man introduced himself.
"Karasawa Criminal Investigation, I beg you, please find the murderer who killed our president!"
Takeshi Kobayashi who was on the side also learned the identity of Karasawa from Ayako and the other two, and shouted "please" with a look of grief and anger.
"Why do you think President Jinbin was killed?" Karasawa looked at Takeshi Kobayashi in confusion and asked.
"This must be the case!" Takeshi Kobayashi said firmly: "The president doesn't smoke and he doesn't have anything to light up. How could it be an accident?"
While they were talking, Officer Megure also rushed over with Takagi and others.
After that, Tangze told everyone the information he summarized. Officer Megure nodded and said, "I already know the situation. Let the Forensic Section and Kesouyan start searching and collecting evidence."
Aso took the lead in examining the body as the forensic examiner. Later, the forensics team examined the only speaker wire that might have caused the fire, but there was no sign of any malfunction or short circuit on it.
In other words, even if there was a fire, the murderer could not have touched the mobile phone on the electrical appliance.
But this is strange, because even though the interior of the Ferris wheel's box is made of flammable materials, there are no flammable materials such as lighters on President Jinbin, and the only electrical circuit that may catch fire is fine.
As for throwing flammable objects into the windows, it is impossible. In order to prevent guests from falling in, the windows of the private rooms are sealed. If you want to open them, they can only be opened or closed by the staff from the outside.
In addition, the other doors do not have any design that can be opened from the inside.
This means that the entire box is a secret room with no fire point in the air.
Not only that, the Ferris wheel burns while rotating at nearly 120 meters.
In this case, no one can enter other people's boxes at all.
In this case, how did the box burn?
This fire can burn, and there is something evil about it in itself.
In addition, there are also conversations that Ayako and Sonoko heard on the Ferris wheel, as if they were having conversations with ghosts.
Was that really what he said out of fear after seeing a ghost?
Tangze thought it was impossible.
After all, there are no ghosts in this world, so he believed that it was another news that Sonoko and the others heard.
Perhaps someone related to the man who committed suicide on the Ferris wheel planned this murder case for revenge.
And it’s an unprecedented secret room murder case in the sky!
While Karasawa was deep in thought, Officer Megure and others on the side were not idle either, investigating the system facilities of the amusement park.
The results showed that the fire could not have been caused by a short circuit in the electrical system inside the box, and there were no signs of burning on the wires above.
In other words, the prisoner did not do anything about it.
"It's not a circuit problem, so where did the flames come from?"
When Officer Megure heard the news, he was in disbelief: "At a distance of 120 meters, it is impossible to invade from the outside!"
"I knew it would happen one day." After hearing Officer Megure's words, Atsuke Masone who was standing beside him spoke at this time.
And judging by his words, it seemed that he was not surprised by the fire.
Just when Officer Megure looked surprised and was about to ask questions, Takeshi Kobayashi roared angrily: "You must have killed the president!!"
"Why me?" Zenggen Houzhao was also startled by Kobayashi Takeshi's sudden outburst, but after reacting, he immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Stop pretending. You designed this unpopular Ferris wheel. The president is very angry and even plans to hold you accountable. Aren't you very annoyed!"
Kobayashi Takeshi accused angrily: "You must have killed the president, otherwise you will be prosecuted!"
“That’s not the case!!”
Zenggen Houzhao heard this and said angrily: "You can't even accuse me as a whole!
The reason why I had conflicts with the president was because he only thought about money.
In order to save money, he even changed the construction materials without authorization after I finished the design!
In order to save costs, he completely ignored safety considerations and replaced the safety material I was originally going to use with one that can ignite with just a match!
This kind of behavior that ignores the safety of tourists for money, how can I not be angry!
You said he was planning to sue me, which is totally the opposite!
He violated the contract first, and I plan to sue him, otherwise if something happens, I will be responsible again!"
"But as the designer of the Ferris wheel, you can definitely do anything in the box!"
Takeshi Kobayashi persisted and said: "And you have admitted it yourself that there is a conflict between you and the president.
If that's the case, then you have the motive to kill the president, what I said is right!"
