"Brother Sakaki Makoto!"
Megure Juzo, who had just stepped onto the stage, was so happy to see his younger brother.
Counting with fingers...
It’s been about half a month since we last saw each other.
Unlike Kogoro Mori who we see every day, Makoto Sakaki is a rare character!
How can I not kiss you when I meet you!
"We were just on a police call in Toshima Ward, and we rushed here as soon as it was over."
Megure Jusan said:
"How about this case, was it an accident?"
The circus members who gathered around immediately pricked up their ears.
"Accident..."
Sakaki Makoto shook his head and raised the broken lock in his hand:
"How should I put it..."
"From a physics perspective, this was indeed an accident..."
"well."
Before Sakaki Makoto finished speaking, Megure Jusan sighed:
"It turned out to be an accident..."
"Then things will be simple."
"Don't worry..."
Sakaki Makoto looked around, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips:
"From a physics perspective, this was an accident, because even the prisoner himself could not be sure whether or when the lock would break."
"but...."
"As always, this case is a case of malicious murder."
"oh?!"
His eyes widened, Megure Jusan knew Sakaki Makoto too well.
When the other person says this...
The modus operandi used by the offender is usually already known.
As long as the method of committing the crime is cracked...
Are you still worried about not being able to catch the criminal?
"Ms. Qian..."
Makoto Sakaki looked at the deceased, Akane, the female partner of Captain Haneda.
"Excuse me, were you the one who tied the safety rope for Captain Haneda?"
"ah...."
Xiao Qian opened her mouth:
"In the past, it was indeed me."
"but..."
"Before the last performance, Vice-Captain Nishijo suddenly climbed up the tower and exchanged a few words with the captain."
"He also tied the safety rope for the captain himself."
"are you sure?"
A frightening gaze shone from behind the sunglasses.
Stared at by this gaze, she shuddered and shuddered.
Just like the extremely hungry tiger 'Iwao', the faint green light bloomed in his eyes.
She quickly recalled the scene at that time...
“That’s right!”
Xiao Qian nodded heavily:
"I'm sure!"
"Is Vice Captain Nishijo holding anything in his hand?"
Sakaki Makoto asked again.
"No..."
Xiao Qian said firmly:
"He came here empty-handed."
“Before the show starts….”
With a serious voice, Sakaki Makoto questioned the members present:
"Did anyone see Vice Captain Nishijo climb up onto the diving platform?"
There was a murmur of conversation, and everyone hesitated for a long time without any response.
The last show before the aerial acrobatics was a tiger jumping through a fire ring.
It is also the most dangerous program.
after all...
Tigers are not human beings and do not have the self-control of humans.
Once a tiger goes berserk, the casualties will be immeasurable.
Therefore, usually when the trainer takes the tiger 'Iwao' to the stage, the members including Haneda will gather together and observe the stage from behind the scenes to prevent any accidents.
Naturally, no one paid attention to the clown's movements.
The animal trainer's performance lasted 20 minutes, which means...
The prisoners had plenty of time to tamper with the safety rope.
"Could it be that Saijo killed the captain?"
"No way, aren't they close friends?"
"People's hearts are hidden. Last month, Xijo had a quarrel with the captain!"
bite!
Megure Jusan turned his head suddenly.
Based on his many years of experience in handling cases...
This is the element!
"Has this man named Saijo ever had any friction with your leader?"
Combined with Sakaki Makoto's previous questions, Megure Juzo focused his attention on Saijo.
"yes..."
The members around nodded one after another:
"About a month ago, Vice Captain Nishijo's family had an accident and needed money to save their lives..."
"For this money, Vice Captain Saijo asked us to borrow money. We are all in the same group, so of course we will help if we can."
"but..."
"We scraped together only a small portion of it, which is not enough."
"It just so happened that a large circus called Monli wanted to acquire us and offered a very good price, but the head of the circus disagreed, saying that this was his life's work and he would never give it to anyone else. Vice Head Nishijo, who was in urgent need of money, had a big argument with him."
Sakaki Makoto and Megure Jusan looked at each other.
It seems that...
Saijo is indeed the most suspicious.
"Where are the people?!"
After locking onto the target, Megure Jusan shouted:
"Who is Vice Captain Nishijo?!"
"The deputy leader has a pharyngitis attack. He should take medicine and rest backstage..."
Without saying a word, Megure Juzo rushed into the backstage with a group of detectives including Takagi Wataru.
"Is Saijo the criminal?"
Miss Miyano walked to her boyfriend's side and twisted her fingers behind her back:
"This case seems simple..."
"Um..."
Sakaki Makoto frowned.
Just as Miss Miyano said, Nishijo's method of killing was indeed very simple.
but....
The simpler the method of murder, the more difficult it is to find conclusive evidence.
Just like Gin, he draws his gun when he meets someone, kills them with one shot, puts away his weapon and walks away without any hesitation...
