Chapter 1800: The Magic of the Magic Troupe

Friday, August 18, evening, Asakusa Hall.

After the analysis of Winter City Huanyang's water tank escape deception, the question of the incident becomes very simple, what makes Winter City Huanyang unable to escape the water tank.

When Huanyang of Winter City passed away, the lock on his hand had been released, and the problem was the opening and closing plate on his feet. However, after field inspection, it was found that the opening and closing plate could be easily pushed open.

Then, the only problem is the medicine, the medicine Ishida Kazuma gave Winter City Huanyang.

Molly said, "That must be a muscle relaxant."

Police Officer Takagi was distracted, "Forbid the crime of idiots?"

"What are you thinking, Takagi." Megure Police Department said angrily, "It's a muscle relaxant. After taking this drug, symptoms of muscle weakness will appear."

"Tendon relaxants, right?" said the forensic lady, "We will notify the hospital to help investigate."

Ishida Kazuma protested: "Wait a minute, I respect the teacher so much, why did I kill him?"

Ben Tangying said: "Actually, you hate him very much, because he has never allowed you to appear on stage as a magician."

Ishida Kazuma was taken aback, "What? How do you know this kind of thing?"

"So, is it true?" Mu Mu Police Department asked seriously, "You gave Mr. Dongcheng Huanyang a drug mixed with a muscle relaxant, which made him unable to turn his body in the water and finally drowned?"

Ishida Kazuma quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, nothing, there is no such thing at all."

Mao Li asked: "Hey, did you just admit that you hated Mr. Winter City?"

"I didn't mean that just now, I was just surprised, this gentleman wearing glasses will know, no, that's not it." Ishida Kazuma was a little incoherent.

Misa Uehara said, "What are you trying to say?"

Ben Tangying said: "When everyone is helping Mr. Dongcheng, you are the only one who is taking pictures by the side. If you really respect your teacher, Mr. Dongcheng, you will not care about taking pictures because you are worried about his life and death." right."

Ishida Kazuma said: "That's because the teacher always said that even if something happens, you should make a record. He said that it is the evidence that Winter City Huanyang is a professional magician. Mr. Shouji and the others know about this. .”

Megure Police Department asked, "Mr. Shoji?"

Shoji Shingo said: "Yes, Winter City did say such a thing."

Ishida Kazuma said: "Officer, I resent the teacher for not allowing me to perform on stage, but this is human nature. Players are ordered to sit on the bench by the coach. I believe they will also resent the coach, don't they? Just like players will not Just like killing the coach because of this, I wouldn't kill the teacher because of it."

"Because if the teacher dies, our magic troupe will be disbanded, and I will lose my job."

"I'm self-aware. With my real skills, I'm just a handyman in other magic troupes. It's much worse than my current job. It's even a question of whether I can join other magic troupes."

Chiaki Nakagawa said: "That's right, if Winter City really dies, we'll lose our jobs, so, officer, we won't kill him."

Hasegawa said: "Yes, even if we hate him, we will never kill him."

Maori asked: "By the way, Mr. Hasegawa, why did you go to the waiting room during the halftime break? And you stood outside the door secretly, are you planning to eavesdrop?"

"That's right, that's what I wanted to say," Kazuma Ishida cut his mouth, and then asked Eisuke Hondo, "Mr. wearing glasses, did you eavesdrop on our conversation, right outside the prop room? "

Eisuke Hondo squeezed his eyes out of embarrassment, and Mori, Yamazaki, Ran, and Conan also felt guilty.

And when Hondo Eisuke looked over, the four of Maoli were sweating, and they confessed their accomplices before the trial.

"cough,

"Maori changed the subject seriously, "Mr. Hasegawa, have you thought about it yet?" "

"I, I'm just passing by." Hasegawa said hesitantly.

Maori said, "Stop quibbling, and tell the truth."

"I," Hasegawa Minoru hesitated and said, "I just want to hear the plan of the head of the group, and what the Maori detective found out."

"Guilty, isn't it?" Maori asked urgently, "So you are the murderer, right?"

"No no," Hasegawa Minoru waved his hand, "I just want to tip off the news and ask for some money."

Yamazaki understood that Hasegawa was eavesdropping and wanted to report to someone to eliminate the evidence. On the one hand, on the other hand, he probably wanted to use this to seize that person and blackmail that person for a long time to support his gambling money and life.

Shoji Shingo said: "Officer, Mr. Mori, I have something to say. You all believe that the accident in Winter City is because of the five of us. What evidence do you have?"

Maori said: "Because the magic troupe had two accidents before, one accident may be just an accident, and two may be man-made, so Mr. Winter City suspects that some of you want to harm him."

"Oh, doubt." Shoji Shingo asked, "Then have you ever thought about why Winter City didn't call the police?"

Mao Li said: "I should be afraid that there will be negative news, which will affect the reputation of the magic troupe."

Shoji Shingo asked continuously: "Detective Maori, do you think life is more important or reputation is more important?"

"If you find this person, do you think Winter City will fire this person, or send him to the police secretly?"

"Do you think that in this case of attempted murder, there is no need for Winter City to testify in court?"

"Do you think the media will know that Winter City is involved in the lawsuit and become the protagonist?"

"What do you think the media will report by then?"

Maori was speechless when asked, what Shoji said made sense, it was impossible for Dongcheng Huanyang to let someone want to kill someone and leave like this, and as long as he handed over the person to the police, he would eventually be exposed by the media.

Yamazaki thought to himself, there is actually another way, that is, Dongcheng Huanyang privately handles the person who wants to kill him. The easiest way is to spend money to find someone to kill that person. Usually, the point is to design a series of traps, let the person Since then, people have lived a life that would be worse than death, and they no longer have the leisure to care about the Winter City Huanyang.

Shoji Shingo continued to ask: "I also want to ask, Mr. Mori, have you ever heard of someone who has won the lottery many times in a row?"

"Uh..." Maori continued to have nothing to answer.

Hasegawa Minoru said: "That's right, those two accidents were just accidents, not man-made, just bad luck."

Zhongchuan Qianming said: "Winter City does not call the police, there must be no evidence, even if the police come, there is no way to arrest people."

Misa Uehara said: "He was suspicious, so he asked you, Detective Maori."

Shoji Shingo said: "Then you conclude from this that we are going to kill Dongyang and don't think about it at all. This may also be an accident."

"You have to understand that it is precisely because this water tank escape trick has certain dangers that the audience is willing to pay a lot of money to sit here and watch the show."

"What they watch is a magic show that ordinary people cannot imitate, and only trained professional magicians can complete."

"Nobody wants to see accidents happen, but accidents happen."

The Mumu Police Department said: "Please don't be angry. The specific reason for this matter is exactly what we want to investigate. If it has nothing to do with you, it can just prove your innocence."

Shoji Shingo said: "Then, I hope you can hurry up. If there is no evidence, please let us go back to rest earlier."

Mumu Police Department said: "Of course, but please wait patiently."...

The investigation has reached a stalemate so far, and no clues have been found at all, and no progress has been made.

Soon after, the Asakusa Hall tripped and the lights went out, leaving it completely dark.

"Ah!" Lan, Hondo Eisuke, and police officer Takagi exclaimed together.

In a blink of an eye, the light came on again, but Conan's face darkened, because Lan actually abducted Hondo Eisuke, just like that time at Shinde's teacher's house.

What made Yamazaki even more interesting was that Officer Takagi actually knelt on the ground and hugged Officer Sato's waist.

"Ah! Stop it, Takagi!" Officer Sato yelled in embarrassment like an ordinary woman.

Officer Takagi quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

But this is completely unbelievable, and it is seriously doubted that he did it on purpose.

So, Officer Sato slapped him and pushed him away. ...

Not long after, the hospital called, and it was not found that Dongcheng Huanyang had received muscle relaxants. In addition, Dongcheng Huanyang had been rescued, but the specific situation still needs to be observed.

Mumu Police Department said: "Okay, since this is the case, please follow us to the nearby police station and take notes. We will talk about the rest after Mr. Dongcheng Huanyang wakes up."

"Mr. Shingo Shoji, Ms. Chiaki Nakagawa, Ms. Misa Uehara, Mr. Kazuma Ishida, Mr. Minoru Hasegawa, I hope that you will not leave Tokyo in the past few days, otherwise I will suspect that you are running away, so I can only invite you as important suspects." Going back to assist in the investigation."...

Police Department.

Yamazaki went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he met Shingo Shoji. His heart moved. If today's incident was not an accident, but a murder, then the culprit should be Shingo Shoji.

Judging from the quarrel between him and Winter City Huanyang, he cares more about magic, and Winter City Huanyang's life is rough, and his time is probably spent on socializing and making girlfriends. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to think about magic. It should be Shingo Shoji.

Of course, it is undeniable that Winter City Huanyang has his charm. Those magic tricks will be improved into tricks suitable for him to perform. There must be no shortage of his ideas, and the possibility that Winter City Huanyang is a magic-inspired genius cannot be ruled out.

It's okay to make assumptions, though. ...

After Shoji Shingo came out of the bathroom, Yamazaki reported his identity, "Hi, I'm an intern of Mori Detective, can I take a few minutes of your time?"

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Shoji agreed.

The two walked to the rooftop, and Yamazaki said, "Mr. Shoji, I'll just say that Winter City Huanyang's life is no longer in danger. I suggest that you better surrender to the police and strive for a reduced sentence."

Shoji Shingo asked: "Why should I surrender? Did I do anything that misunderstood you?"

Yamazaki said: "There are no clues to this incident, but I believe that you are the murderer, because only you, a magician, can do this seamlessly."

Shoji Shingo said: "I'm just a stage manager, I haven't been a magician for a long time."

Yamazaki said: "The magic on this stage is mainly based on tricks and tricks. It doesn't require a lot of advanced magic skills. If I guess correctly, Mr. Shoji Shingo, you are the soul of this magic team."

Shoji Shingo was stunned, "Why do you say that?"

Yamazaki said: "Because you have the persistence and enthusiasm for magic that Mr. Winter City Huanyang does not have. In the eyes of Mr. Winter City, magic is just a tool to make money."

"Mr. Winter City is not relying on his magic skills, but his handsome appearance. In his eyes, as long as it is the magic he performs, someone will be willing to watch it, no matter what kind of magic it is, even if it is just a simple loop."

Shoji Shingo was very happy, "Is that how you see it?"

Yamazaki said: "Yes, that's how I see it, so you'd better turn yourself in. It should be a good deal to get a reduced sentence for your favorite magic."

"That's all I'm going to say, and you do it yourself."

Yamazaki left, Shoji hesitated for a long time before going downstairs, and then surrendered to the Megure Police Department.

The Mugure Police Department asked: "Mr. Shuangji, you said you did it, so how did you do it?"

Shoji Shingo laughed and said, "It's actually very simple to put it bluntly, but to put it bluntly, it can be said to be magic, a magic trick that can fool everyone."

Shoji Shingo's method is very simple to put it bluntly. Using the characteristics of wood to absorb water and expand, the opening and closing board is stuck after absorbing water. In order to avoid leaving marks, the ring part connected to the ankle is made of non-deformable metal. ring.

This is not for one performance, but after many performances, this will definitely happen at one time.

So, tonight, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shoji Shingo's magic trick succeeded.

"So that's how it is." Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they really didn't expect that the mechanism was the opening and closing board itself.

If he didn't point it out and admit it, even if he found it, it can only be said to be an accident, because as long as he didn't know it, it would be fine, and there is no evidence to prove that it was deliberate.

Shoji Shingo smiled proudly: "This is an unprecedented magic trick."

The Mumu Police Department frowned and said: "Mr. Shuangji, magic is the art of entertaining the public, but you actually use it to kill people. Not only are you not qualified to be a magician, you are not qualified to be a human being."

Shoji Shingo said: "Officer, I am no longer a child. I think I am more of a magician than Winter City. Although I may not be a righteous magician, I am definitely not an evil magician. Not that A lowly magician who intends to use dark and depraved methods to attract audiences, and I have no regrets for attacking Winterfell."

The Mumu Police Department frowned and said: "I don't understand your perception of magicians, but I hope you know what you are doing."

Shoji Shingo nodded and said, "I am willing to take responsibility for my actions."...

Later, Dongcheng Huanyang woke up, and Shoji Shingo was sentenced to three years in prison for attempted murder. ...
