On the stage, Shoji Shingo felt the scrutinizing gazes of the people around him, and the pressure in his heart instantly doubled.
As Dongcheng Huanyang's senior, he may not be popular as a magician because he does not have a handsome appearance, but that does not mean he has no stage experience.
In the past, he had no pressure in front of hundreds of audiences, but at this moment, facing more than ten people in front of him, Shoji Shingo was extremely anxious.
But even so, he had no intention of giving up resistance.
"You said I fixed the latch's connecting shaft?" Shoji Shingo asked excitedly. "Then tell me, how did I get back onto the beam and hide from everyone's sight?"
"A magician is indeed a magician. Has he already started using language to induce people?"
Hearing what Shoji Shingo said, Tang Ze clapped his hands slowly and playfully: "But who says you have to go back to the ceiling beam?
Can't you just get out from under the sink?
When the curtain is lowered, you just need to jump off the lid immediately. When the stage goes dark, you can quickly flash out from under the curtain and escape to the backstage.
All we have to do now is wait until everyone realizes something is wrong and starts providing first aid, avoid everyone's sight and the cameras, quickly retract the shaft, and the ruse will be complete."
"Then have someone search me!"
Shingo Shoji stretched out his hands and looked at Takagi, signaling him to search him, while Takagi turned his head and looked at Tangze to ask for his opinion.
"Then search."
Tang Ze smiled and looked at Gao Mu and reminded him: "Don't mention those places in the trouser pockets, take off the ring on his hand and take a look."
"ring?"
Upon hearing this, Takagi subconsciously looked at the middle finger of Shoji Shingo's left hand, on which was a golden ring.
"There's a rather awkward hole on the hinge of the sink. You used the ring on your hand, which can be pulled apart, to insert it into the hole, making it act as an axle, right?"
With a panicked look on his face, Shoji Shingo subconsciously wanted to put his left hand into his pocket to cover the ring on his hand, but the next moment he was grabbed by Takagi.
"It's a double ring!" Zuoyou and Meihouzi, wearing white gloves, took off the ring and opened it easily. After some experiments, they quickly twisted the ring into an "S" shape.
This shape is just enough to fit through the hole in the hub, making the tank a real secret room.
"Those are just one or two props I carry with me as a magician!" Shoji Shingo said angrily, "This is a normal thing, okay!
And you don't have any evidence that I used this ring to kill Dongcheng! !"
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin. In that case, let's take another look at the tape shot by Mr. Yi Ma."
Tang Ze nodded to Takagi, who quickly ran to the control room and projected the video onto the screen next to the stage.
In the video, Mr. Tojo had just been rescued from the water tank, and Kogoro Mouri was performing artificial respiration.
The scene then changes to Shoji Shingo opening the sink lid and trying to help Mr. Tojo untie his legs.
In the paused image, Shoji Shingo's left hand, as he opened the sink lid, clearly showed a ring on his ring finger.
"Look, I have a ring on my hand!" Shoji Shingo pointed at the screen and said, "This means I always wear it!"
"Don't be impatient, let's take a look at the scene before this."
Tang Ze looked at the other party as if he had grabbed the last straw to survive, and kicked him into the abyss with a calm face.
Under Shoji Shingo's desperate gaze, the scene shifted to a closer front, where Shoji Shingo was shouting at the venue staff beside him to call an ambulance.
However, in the video, there was no ring on the left hand that Shoji Shingo stretched out excitedly.
"I presume you lured Detective Maori away from the lid and took the opportunity to pull out the ring on the twisted side of the latch to help Mr. Tojo untie his feet."
Tang Ze looked at the silent Shoji Shingo and shook his head slightly: "Unfortunately, even if your plan is perfect, there are still loopholes."
"Ah, I did it..."
Seeing that everything was irreversible, Shoji Shingo took off his disguise and revealed his true face.
He recalled Dongcheng choking in the water tank out of shock, his eyes filled with unspeakable enthusiasm: "Because I finally performed an unprecedented and wonderful magic trick!"
"What did you say!!"
These words instantly angered Ishida Kazuma who was standing by, but Takagi next to him quickly stopped the emotional Ishida Kazuma.
"Mr. Shoji, the purpose of magic is to bring joy to everyone, but you actually used it as a stage for murder!"
Maori Kogoro looked at Shoji Shingo with a frown and scolded him, "Not only have you lost your qualifications to be a magician, you also have no right to call yourself a human being!!"
But when he heard what Kogoro Mori said, Shingo Shoji didn't react at all. He just covered his face and smiled, and his expression was intimidating.
But everyone knows that Shoji Shingo is no longer normal, and his mind has been twisted into that of a monster.
This is a guy who showed no remorse until the very end.
For such a person, only the judgment of the law can punish him.
After escorting Shoji Shingo out of the magic show venue and taking him back to the Metropolitan Police Department, Karasawa invited everyone to go out for dinner.
After all, it was already this late, and it would not be appropriate to go back for dinner, so Tang Ze called Takagi, Sato, and Cheng Shi, who came with the team as a forensic doctor, to have dinner together.
