"Strange noises?"
After listening to Kyogoku Makoto's words, Tang Ze looked at the staff nearby and said, "I want to ask, does anyone here know of anything that can make a sound?"
"The classroom on the fourth floor should only contain the high-altitude fall prevention safety rope for this young man." said the bearded director wearing sunglasses.
"We've finished filming everything that needs to be filmed inside the classroom. The only thing left is the shot of the prisoner falling from the fourth floor."
The guy with glasses and a mask explained: "So don't let the guy playing the criminal go to the 4th floor in advance.
As for me, I secured my camera position before going up, but unexpectedly, Mr. Tokuen fell during this gap."
"Could it be an accident?" Takagi, who was standing nearby, said, "Mr. Tokuen was playing with the safety rope and accidentally fell off."
"He was looking for his phone at the time and probably wasn't in the mood for joking."
The female star, whose face still had war-damaged makeup, explained after hearing this, then immediately changed the subject and said, "Well, that guy always likes to joke around and do some very childish pranks.
By the way, Yingxiang, have you also been bullied by him many times?"
The woman called Yingxiang by the female star is her assistant, who is chubby and has a bob haircut.
Hearing the female star's words, Yingxiang nodded and said, "Yeah, he often plays tricks on me with things like scare boxes and fart cushions."
"He also made some bloody soap."
The big-nosed assistant director nearby echoed, "That time it was quite a scene. The AD who was being pranked by him screamed like he was dying.
Later, the assistant director did die, but it was a traffic accident and had nothing to do with the prank."
"Okay, we have a pretty good understanding of the situation. Let's go up and take a look."
Tang Ze, who already knew the plot, felt that after hearing this basic information, it was enough to make inferences, so he suggested going up to the fourth floor to check the situation.
Inspector Megure agreed with Karasawa's suggestion, and he took a group of detectives and the director, assistant director, stars and other people who had status in the theater to the fourth floor.
After going all the way to the fourth floor, because he had learned from the female star that he was looking for a cell phone, after going upstairs and reaching the classroom, Inspector Megure asked the director to call the deceased.
Soon a ringtone rang out, and when everyone found the source of the sound, they discovered that the deceased's cell phone was actually placed on a platform extending out of the window.
This platform has no guardrails and is just a small structure that extends out to protect the lower level from rain.
But it’s okay to go down alone, as long as you are careful you won’t fall.
"Ah, that's weird, huh?"
Conan didn't know when Sera Masumi sent him downstairs, and picked up the phone with a handkerchief: "Under normal circumstances, it's impossible for someone to forget their phone here, right?"
"Could it be that he accidentally dropped his phone there after finding it?" Sera Masumi immediately echoed.
"But there is not a single scratch on this phone!" Conan said, holding up the phone.
"They're saying that the phone didn't fall here accidentally, but someone got the deceased's phone and placed it here intentionally."
Tang Ze on the side pulled away Sera Masumi, who was half leaning out of the window, then took Conan's cell phone and lifted it from the platform back to the classroom with his other hand.
"You two just wait here quietly. You have no right to appear on stage." After finishing the reasoning that the two of them wanted to say, Tang Ze looked at them and said without allowing any objection.
"knew..."
Hearing Tang Ze's harsh words, the two of them stood aside in disappointment.
If other criminals had spoken in this way, they would definitely refute their statements during the subsequent investigation, find clues that the other party had not discovered, and make the other party helpless against their intervention.
However, when facing Tang Ze, the two of them had no confidence or intention to refuse.
After all, the two have never been ahead of Tang Ze in reasoning, and they are not criminals who are inherently wrong, so they can only listen to Tang Ze obediently.
"It seems the criminal must have tampered with the phone," Officer Megure said gravely, looking over at it. "But the key question is who left it there."
"Mr. Tokuen came to the classroom and said he wanted to make a call on his cell phone," Kyogoku Makoto said. "A moment later I heard the ringing of the cell phone. It must have come from outside the window."
"In this way, we should be able to narrow down the time and estimate the approximate time the phone was placed there." Takagi said after hearing this.
"Then may I ask, has anyone else been to this classroom?" Inspector Megure looked at the director and his group and asked.
"Because we have to shoot the fight scenes in the classroom, the film crew, photographer, makeup artist, and lighting technician all need to come here."
The director nearby responded, "Given the situation at the time, everyone should have come to this classroom."
"After that, we had to withdraw our personnel because we needed to film the prisoner falling."
The bearded assistant director nearby quickly explained, "The scene was very chaotic at the time, after all, we still had to move equipment and so on."
"That is to say, in that situation, everyone present could have tampered with the phone and put it outside the window." Inspector Megure pondered after hearing this.
"I can testify to that!"
Upon hearing this, Sera Masumi said, "We were watching from here at the time, and we didn't see anyone looking out the window from outside."
