As Tang Ze spoke, everyone in the room shouted almost in unison.
This group of people not only included Kinoshita and Miyauchi Yasuhiro, but also Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi who were standing by strongly opposed to Tang Ze's order.
"The Masked Ninja's performance must not be stopped!"
"There are so many children outside waiting to watch the performance!" Ayumi looked at Tang Ze and pleaded, "If the performance is stopped halfway, everyone will be so disappointed!"
"If we can find the criminal, there will be no problem, right?"
Mitsuhiko looked at Tang Ze and said, "Our Junior Detective Team will definitely find the murderer before the show starts, so please, don't stop the show!"
"If we can't perform, it will be very troublesome for us too." Kinoshita also echoed the request: "Please!"
"Unless we can find the criminal during this period, it is absolutely impossible." Tang Ze said without hesitation.
Seeing that the other party was about to say something else, Tang Ze glanced at Mu Xia and said in a deep voice, "What you need to do now is to get everyone to fully cooperate with my investigation. Anything else will be a waste of time."
"I, I understand."
Being stared at by Tang Ze's sharp eyes, Mu Xia swallowed hard and nodded vigorously, "Cooperate! I will cooperate! So please, Detective Tang Ze, you must catch the criminal quickly! "
"Very good, then call everyone over now."
After Tang Ze finished speaking, Yasuhiro Miyauchi on the side ran out with great tact. Soon, the backstage staff, including Hiroshi Miwa who had just performed on the stage, came into the room one after another.
"Everyone's here. First question." Tang Ze looked at the gathered crowd and asked, "Did anyone see the deceased this morning? Raise your hand if you did."
One arm after another was raised, and then everyone raised their hands.
"What's going on?" Tang Ze frowned and asked, "Have you all seen the deceased?"
"Yeah." Everyone nodded in unison.
Hiroshi Mitsuha, who was standing by, explained, "Because we all have a celebratory move to get us going before the performance, and we were all there at the time."
"Is that so..." Tang Ze nodded and asked, "What kind of person was the deceased usually? Do you know if anyone had any grudges against him?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak, obviously having some concerns.
Finally, it was Mitsuha Hiroshi, the star of the show, who spoke up: "I don't want to speak ill of someone who has passed away, but Kujo was an arrogant and difficult person, and he was very harsh to others.
You may not know that many of the Masked Ninja's moves are very cool, especially the signature "Spinning Shuriken", which is very difficult. Even Kuriki Tomoyuki didn't dare to try it. When he was a substitute, he could only fight honestly to defeat the enemy.
This is also the reason why "Masked Ninja" can be distinguished from the original "Masked Rider" and even become popular, because he eliminates the shadow of the original.
It can be said that it is precisely because of Kujo's signature skill that the Masked Ninja is so popular, and it is also because of this that Kujo has always been proud of his talent.
Even the celebration we did before the show was a rule set by that guy Jiujo. He always takes it very seriously, asking everyone to cheer him up, but he's really just showing off his status by setting rules. He even wore a mask today, which was super annoying.
After Hiroshi Mitsuha finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. It could be seen that the deceased was indeed quite unpleasant, and this view was even shared by everyone.
"You mean the deceased was wearing a mask when celebrating in the morning?" Tang Ze asked everyone.
"Yes, he was wearing a mask and gathering us to do the celebratory gestures." Sanyu Hiroshi nodded and looked at his colleagues behind him. "After that, he went to rest as usual."
"Habit?" Tang Ze raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are prisoners' habits always fixed?"
"Yes, although Kujo has an annoying personality, he is still very serious about his work. That's why Manager Kinoshita can tolerate him."
Hiroshi Mitsuha said, "Usually after the encouraging celebration, Kujo would stay alone in that simple lounge waiting for the second part's appearance.
He said he wanted to concentrate on making a perfect spinning shuriken, so we generally didn't bother him except to notify him to go on stage.
"Is that so?" Tang Ze nodded in understanding. "Then let's start verifying the alibi. Everyone who can prove each other's presence should stand together."
The people here can be divided into two parts, one is the actors performing on stage, and the other is the staff responsible for behind-the-scenes work, so the screening is also very fast.
There is basically no problem with the actors. Everyone is performing on the stage, and the many audiences outside are all witnesses.
Even if he left the stage and left the audience's sight for a short time, he only stayed in the aisles on both sides, and his colleagues around him could testify to this.
As for the staff, they were surprisingly simple.
During the confirmation process, everyone was busy doing behind-the-scenes work. These tasks generally require cooperation. Most of them gathered in groups of three or four, and were very close to each other. Basically, everyone had an impression of them.
After an investigation, it was found that only the three persons in charge, Osuki Kinoshita, Yasuhiro Miyauchi, and Tomoyuki Kuriki, had no alibis during the performance.
Wow, this is another classic three-choice situation.
"Hey, hey... You don't suspect that I killed Kujo, do you?" After dismissing the others, Kinoshita, who stayed in the room, shouted in disbelief.
"In order to clear suspicion, please tell us your itinerary in detail without hiding anything."
Tang Ze could not deny Kinoshita's defense. As an experienced criminal, he would never easily believe the suspect's reasons.
So, Karasawa simply replied to Kinoshita's words, then turned to the first person to discover the crime scene, Miyauchi Yasuhiro, and asked, "Excuse me, after Mr. Miyu's performance began, where were you, Mr. Miyauchi?"
"Because I was in charge of the overall coordination, I was in the lounge during the performance, making various phone calls to arrange the next itinerary."
Miyauchi Yasuhiro took out his phone and said, "These call records should be considered as evidence. You can check them or call them one by one to ask. I definitely didn't falsify the conversations I had with them!"
Tang Ze took the phone and looked at the history records. There were indeed many call records around one o'clock.
"That's not necessarily true!"
But before Tang Ze could say anything, Genta on the side looked at Miyauchi Yasuhiro with suspicion and said something that made the other party crazy.
