The first person Karasawa looked for when the light came on was Ayako and the others. After seeing that she, Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro were standing there and seemed unaffected, he turned his attention to Hoshina Rukako.
"Detective Maori, come and help."
Because he still had the prisoner in his hands, Tang Ze called out to Kogoro Mori, who was looking around blankly and trying to figure out the current situation, and signaled him to quickly help his financial backer up.
After hearing what Karasawa said, Kogoro Mori immediately reacted and hurried to the side of his financial sponsor, Rukako Hoshina, and helped her up.
"What the hell just happened!?"
After getting up from the ground, Hoshina Rukako's face was extremely grim: "How could it be so messed up!"
"Hoshina Rukako, you were just assassinated."
Just as everyone was silently looking at Hoshina Rukako, not knowing how to answer her question, Tang Ze suddenly spoke.
His words were like pouring a basin of cold water into a hot oil pan, and the entire banquet hall exploded instantly.
And the aggressive Hoshina Rukako on the side instantly became like a goose with its fate strangled by the throat, and her previous angry look disappeared in an instant.
Instead, there was a pale face and fear.
"Detective Tang Ze, what do you mean..."
Hoshina Rukako turned around and wanted to find Tang Ze to ask him clearly, but when she turned around and saw Tang Ze's current condition, the words she had just said were stuck in her mouth.
At this moment, Tang Ze was capturing and suppressing Qingbian Shuugo. This scene made Hoshina Rukako unable to digest the news.
"This, this is..." Hoshina Rukako looked at the scene in front of her hesitantly, somewhat in disbelief.
"In fact, the one who wanted to kill you in the dark was Mr. Qingbian Dingwu." As Tang Ze's words fell, it was like throwing gunpowder into the water, causing an uproar among the surrounding guests.
At this time, Qingbian Dingwu had already accepted his fate. Seeing this, Tang Ze took out the handcuffs he carried with him and handcuffed him.
"What on earth is going on?"
Seeing that Tang Ze had controlled the suspect, Hoshina Rukako, full of doubts, couldn't help but ask: "What exactly happened when I blew out the candle!?"
After hearing what Hoshina Rukako said, the guests present looked at Tang Ze with burning eyes, obviously wanting to find out what had happened in the previous darkness and chaos.
Tang Ze felt the gazes of those around him, and knew that he needed to explain the whole story to stabilize the situation and prevent the public's dissatisfaction from causing chaos.
"This is related to Qingbian Dingwu's criminal methods. Of course, some of the confusion is also related to my actions."
So he stood up calmly and spoke slowly. Seeing that everyone's attention was on him waiting for an answer, he said generously without hesitation: "Since everyone is so curious, then I will explain it in detail.
I'm sure you all know that Mrs. Bao Ke has received threatening letters for several years in a row, but everything was fine in the previous two years.
At first, I didn't understand why, but it wasn't until I stopped the prisoner in the dark that I understood the reason.
It turned out that the criminal was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for a rainy day when he could justify carrying an umbrella.
After all, when he committed the crime in the dark, he planned to open the umbrella to block the splattered blood, and then stab Mrs. Bao Ke to death with the sharp blade on the umbrella.
And he has also thought of a way to deal with the murder weapon."
Having said that, Tang Ze walked over to the dining cart that was stuck by the balcony railing, squatted down while wearing white gloves and said, "You can see that the blade on this umbrella is the murder weapon.
I believe you can now easily see that there is a rope tied here and a heavy object under the line.
Judging from the location, it must have been on the hour hand of the clock tower above our balcony.
Then at six o'clock, the mechanism will be triggered automatically."
This is not a casual statement, but a conclusion drawn by Tang Ze based on the topography of the place and the time of the crime.
Moreover, when he went to the bell tower, he not only paid attention to the Gutan wheel being worshipped below, but also observed the hour and minute hands on the clock.
After all, the element of "clock" in this case is too obvious, and generally when such a situation occurs, the criminals will use such things to commit crimes.
To make it easier for everyone to understand, Tang Ze began to describe: "The tip of the minute hand above the hour hand is a spade, and the tip of the spade is a broken ring.
All you need to do is prepare a rope in advance, tie a heavy object in the middle, and then tie a very sliding small ring at one end of the rope.
Simply slip one end of the ring over the broken ring decoration at the tip of the clock tower's minute hand, then hang the middle part, which is tied with a weight, over the outside of the balcony railing.
The other end of the empty rope is passed through the gap in the balcony into the house and tied to the murder weapon, and the mechanism is completed.
After that, just wait for the moment when the room falls into darkness, tie the rope to the umbrella, and you are ready.
And when it's time to blow out the candles, just attack Mrs. Hoshina Rukako, and then wait for 6 o'clock to trigger the mechanism. When the short hand of the clock points directly downward, the small ring tied to the rope will break and slide down into the gap.
As a result, the heavy object hanging in the middle of the rope outside the balcony railing lost its fixed point and began to fall rapidly under the action of gravity.
In this way, if he followed the original plan, Zhou Fang Zhiqiu only needed to kill the people, quickly close the umbrella, and then let go. The umbrella, dragged by gravity, would knock open the balcony door and fall below the balcony.
Fishing lines are not easy to be discovered, and the part with the heavy object tied to it was not simply hung outside the balcony, but was placed by the criminal under the well in the yard.
