Momota: "But how did Ryoma appear in the water tank? Is this also Yumeno's method?"
This mystery will definitely be the biggest focus in unraveling this incident.
"Thanks to Mengye, the difficulty of the game has been increased, which makes me full of energy. I will work hard to uncover the mystery, and the hateful murderer is waiting for me." Xiaoji said.
"If Yumeno doesn't tell us about the agency, we won't know how the murderer killed Ryoma-san, but looking at the situation, how should we convince her?" Bai Yin said.
"However, maybe Mengye will use the magic show as a clue to reveal all the annihilation groups at once. I will see through everything you did!"
"Will there be a plot like this? After all, she is also a magician."
Meitu: "Ah, I want to ask you something, Miss."
It's not like you're asking for help from others.
"This has nothing to do with time. Didn't Quan Tai arrest you last night?"
"It's really hard to figure out why I keep running away in the end," said the beautiful rabbit.
"It's just right, tell me too, because I'm running around, so I don't know."
Speaking of which, how did Miu-san, who doesn’t seem to have very strong physical strength, escape from Quan Tai?
"Hurry up." Beautiful Rabbit said.
"Well, Quan Tian was deceived by Xiao Ji to arrest us. At first, Ji Wang, Zhen Gong, Bai Yin, Rotor and I were arrested." Lin Xiao said, "Then not long after, Meng Ye and An Qi were also arrested.
Quan Tai brought it."
"Them staying in the gym?"
"Well, it was 9pm when Xiaoji left the classroom, so they should have brought it 5 minutes ago."
"Then we were forced to attend an insect exchange meeting across Thailand, and we were not able to leave until an hour later at night, around 11 p.m."
"That is to say, everyone who stayed in that place from 9 to 11 pm has proof of presence. On the other hand, those who have no proof of absence are me, Miu, the maid, Koharu and the dead Ryoma." Momota said.
"Ah hahaha, I already learned the word alibi in the last incident. What is that insect exchange meeting?" said the beautiful rabbit.
"By the way, how did Meitu escape from being hunted by Quan Tai?"
"Oh, it's just that, how should I put it, it's a woman's mist, don't be like this, I don't want to talk about it."
"a ha ha ha."
"Don't just laugh." Lin Xiao said.
"Hahaha."
She planned to laugh her way through it.
"Lin Xiao, just ignore her. She is in trouble." Bai Tian said.
‘Yes, let’s wait until the school trial to solve this mystery.’ Lin Xiao said.
By the way, I also want to ask Angel about the magic show set.
"Classmate An Qi, I want to ask about the setting of the magic show." Lin Xiao said.
"An Qi is in charge of the stage art, assembling the stage and painting it."
"Then An Qi should know what mechanism Mengye uses to escape from the water, right?" Lin Xiao said.
"An Qi doesn't know, because Mengye can only say it's magic."
So, Meng Ye didn’t tell An Qi about his technique.
"By the way, you also have others to help you prepare, right?" Lin Xiao said.
"Well, although we only started preparing yesterday, there are all kinds of characters."
"For example, when we need to move the sink and stair lamp from Yumeno's research classroom at noon."
"Ji Wang and I were called to help," Bai Tian said.
"Although the sink has wheels, it is still very large, so it is tiring to move it."
"Then An Qi asked the maid to help sew the curtain, because An Qi was not good at sewing." An Qi said.
"So the success of today's magic show depends on the gods."
"No, it should be everyone." Bai Tian said.
But, is this considered a success?
"Let me ask again, it was classmate An Qi who suggested using scary fish in the magic show, right?" Lin Xiao said.
"Because if it's just a simple escape in the water, it's no different from an ordinary magic show."
"In order to make this show even more exciting, adding scary fish should be more exciting," Angel said.
"This is a will from God."
An Qi, you god, would you even ask for such a thing?
"And that sink and timer were originally placed in Mengye's research classroom?" Lin Xiao said.
"Of course, according to the attached instructions, the sink and timer are linked."
Angel: “It is designed so that the bottom will open automatically once the time limit is reached.”
I see, almost all the things used in the magic show were brought from Yumeno-san’s research classroom.
"Anyway, after a lot of hard work yesterday, I finally finished my preparations and can finally take a breath."
An Qi: "I was suddenly arrested by Quan Tai, so we didn't have time to rehearse."
"Because it was already night time when Chun Tai let me go and I couldn't go back to the gym."
"So it's forbidden to enter or leave the gymnasium at night," Momota said.
"So we had to give up last night. Instead, we came to the stadium this morning before the broadcast."
An Qi said, "The two of us came to the stadium together. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the set."
It would be impossible for the representative to sneak into the gym this morning before these two people arrived.
"What's wrong with Lin Xiao? Are you very upset because of the unsolvable incident? But it must be fine."
Angie said.
"Huh?" Lin Xiao said.
"That's what the gods said, don't worry, it's okay." An Qi said.
"Really?" Lin Xiao said.
"Because the gods have seen through everything, including the murderer of course. He is indeed a god. He is so amazing."
I always feel that An Qi is becoming more and more uncomfortable.
"I never expected that such a cruel incident would happen during such a happy performance," said Manomiya.
"How could the murderer do such a cruel thing? Does he want to catch us off guard?"
"It's really impossible to commit a crime with this purpose. There must be some reason."
"The murderer used this show for this purpose and should be thinking in this direction." Lin Xiao said.
"It means that the murderer already knew the secrets of Yumeno's magic show and used it in turn," Mamiya said.
If so, does it mean Yumeno-san has told others about her techniques? She clearly insists that those performances are magic.
"If the murderer used this performance to commit crimes, there should be a need for investigation agencies."
Manomiya murmured and walked towards the back of the stage.
"Is there anything behind the stage?"
"Let's follow them. To be cautious, it might be better to investigate," Lin Xiao said.
Well, there is a puddle of water behind the stairs.
This should not be the accumulated water left by breaking the sink, after all, it seems that only this area behind the stage is wet.
Maybe someone else who was soaked in water did something here.
For example, changing clothes.
But is there a way to move from the sink to the space behind the stairs?
Maybe this mystery is an important clue related to the method of escaping in the water.
What a long rope. Is this also a tool used for magic shows?
The length is about 2o meters.
Zhen Gong said.
"Can you tell?"
"Because I have been to a village where that kind of game is popular, so I am familiar with how to use it." Mamiya said: "When I left, everyone there asked me to stay."
Although her words are very concerning, we must concentrate on the investigation now.
By the way, what is this rope used for? Does it have anything to do with the incident?
"There should be clues hidden in this place."
Momota: 'Is there something here? But we must investigate quickly.'
So the investigation continued.
This is the staircase leading up to the water tank. If you look closely, there are wet spots everywhere on the side of this staircase.
Does it feel like it has something to do with the water next to it?
From the back, there is nothing unusual about it. Apart from being very big, it is just an ordinary sink.
It seems that every side of this sink is made of special glass, and of course there is no such thing as a secret door at all.
"Huhu is really amazing. How did Yumeno-san leave?" Mamiya said.
"If the technique can be revealed easily, it wouldn't be considered magic." Momota said.
"But as long as you know Yumeno-san's escape route, you should know how Ryoma got in."
True palace hand.
That's right, Ryoma should have come in through that route too.
In order to find out how Ryoma entered this water tank, it is necessary to decipher Yumeno-san's escape method.
All areas of concern behind the stage have been investigated.
However, the mechanism used in the magic show is still barely clear.
"Hey, how long are we going to investigate? Isn't our goal to find the murderer?" Momota said.
"Okay, let's go."
"Ah, wait a minute, Bai Tian." Lin Xiao said.
"Mengye said it's magic, it's magic. Don't bully her, or she'll make you look good."
Even so, if you don't solve the mystery, you won't be able to pass the blood trial.
"Although there are many parts that are difficult to explain, what must be cleared up at the beginning is when Ryoma was killed." Ji Wang said.
"Of course, when the magic show was held, the murderer knew about Yumeno's magic show techniques, so he used them in turn to kill Ryoma." Momota said.
"That means the people participating in this magic show are very suspicious."
Ji Wang; "Baida didn't come either."
"No, I'm not suspicious. I just forgot the appointment and ran to have breakfast. Do you understand? I'm not suspicious at all."
Ji Wang; "I really can't understand how I can accept the justification you just gave."
What Ji Wang said is very correct.
"It's rare for magic to make everyone smile," Mengye said.
"No problem, everyone is smiling." Rotor said.
No, it's too forced to smile.
"Mengye classmate, are you still unwilling to tell us how to escape in the water?" Lin Xiao said, "In order to solve the mystery of this incident, you need to know it no matter what."
"My escape in the water was all my magic."
"You're still saying that." Bai Tian said.
"It's magic anyway, I won't listen to anything you say." Mengye said.
"but."
"That's it." Rotor said, "If you continue to struggle, my Aikido will not bypass people."
"There is nothing we can do." Bai Tian said.
Survey the stage carefully to see what's there.
A timer to count down when escaping from water.
Unexpectedly, this would become a countdown to the discovery of Ryoma's body.
Looking overhead from the stage is a tank filled with scary fish.
I remember it was designed so that as long as the timer on the table reaches zero, the bottom will automatically open.
Currently the bottom is open and empty.
There seems to be no cover at the top. Looking from the bottom up, you can see the ceiling directly.
Also, only the front side is a glass plate, and the front and bottom are ordinary boards.
In other words, there is no lid on the top, and there is only a glass sink in the front.
"I remember that this water tank was originally placed in the research room." Momota said.
"So, did Baitian help carry the props for the magic show?" Lin Xiao said.
"Well, we moved together, it was really tiring."
"But I only helped them carry it and hoist the water tank up." Momota said.
"Besides, it's a heavy tank filled with water and scary fish. It's not easy to lift it up."
"It seems to be mounted on a light stand in the gymnasium."
"Maid classmate?" Lin Xiao said...
"The light stand in the stadium is lift-type. Just press the button on the side of the stage to raise or lower it."
"They seem to have hung the hook of the sink on the lowered light stand and then raised the light stand."
"Well, the light stand is quite sturdy and can support this sink." Momota said.
"Because it is usually used to hang heavy lamps, it should be very strong to begin with," the maid said.
"When the maid classmate was helping to prepare for the magic show, have you ever heard of the magic show technique?" Lin Xiao said.
"No, I didn't hear anything and I just helped sew the curtain. It's a pity but I don't know the method."
"That's it, I understand." Lin Xiao said.
There was a curtain hanging there, but Li Le remembered that there should be a window over there.
"What's the matter? You want to investigate that window?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"Oh, it's too high, so you can't reach it."
"It is indeed very high. After all, it is the place where the scary piranha lives." Momota said.
"By the way, there is a stepladder next to Wutai. Let me show it to you."
After saying this, he quickly climbed off the stage and carried the ladder over.
"But generally speaking, it should be the opposite. Assistants usually do the moving, right?" Momota said.
"Thanks."
Lin Xiao placed the stepladder on the stage and immediately climbed up.
"In this way, I almost barely touched the window and opened the curtains."
"Ah, the window is open."
"Since the window is open, does it mean that the murderer entered or exited through that window?" Momota said.
Does the murderer come in and out from here?
"What's on the other side of the window?" Momota said.
"Oh, although you can only see a little bit, it should be the swimming pool." Lin Xiao said.
"I heard there is a place like this in the swimming pool," he said while talking; "Let's go investigate together later. The murderer must have entered and exited the gym from there."
"Ah, wait a minute, what is this."
"Well what's wrong."
Lin Xiao said: "It's nothing, just scratches on the number on the window." There were scratch marks on the seemingly sturdy wear. Is this related to the incident?
