Nagase Hyouta, 25 years old, is a professional wrestler.
His abilities are very outstanding and he is a very popular contestant who has been gaining popularity recently.
And the other party was the deceased in this case.
Just when Tang Ze had a bad feeling, the ringing of the phone was like a death knell.
As expected, the location of the police call was the Toudou Kokugikan that was just promoted in the variety show.
However, all the challengers tonight died, so naturally this championship defense battle had to be forced to be suspended.
"The deceased appeared to have been stabbed to death..."
Tang Ze half-knelt beside the corpse and examined its wounds. "The deceased was stabbed three times, in the back, chest, and abdomen... The most fatal wound should be the last one in the chest..."
"Eh? Tang Zejun, how do you know that the murderer stabbed the chest last?" Inspector Megure asked in surprise.
"Ah, when you were outside contacting the person in charge, the staff gave me the camera."
Tang Ze explained: "Nitami Radio cooperated with the Teito Wrestling Federation and gave them exclusive broadcasting rights, and filming the players' reactions in the locker room was also part of the filming.
The original intention was to film Nagase before the championship defense match, so they secretly set up a hidden camera in the opponent's locker room.
But I didn't expect to accidentally capture the murder scene."
"If we capture the scene of the criminal committing the crime, it basically means the case has been solved." Inspector Megure said as Tang Ze asked for the camera and played the video of the previous crime again.
But the assailant who came into view was a man wearing a wolf head mask.
This wolf head mask is the current cruiserweight champion and the most popular masked fighter among the audience. So far, no one has seen the true face of the man under the mask.
Originally, in today's championship defense match, if the deceased could defeat the wolf-headed man, the audience would be able to see his true appearance.
"In other words, in order to protect his mask and championship, this 'wolf-masked man' chose to kill his rival before the game. However, he didn't expect that the radio station people set up hidden cameras here in order to shoot a TV program..." Inspector Megure guessed while watching the video.
"That may not be the case!" Suddenly, a cute child's voice sounded behind Inspector Megure, "Except for the deceased, everyone else in the Imperial Capital Wrestling Federation seems to know about this planned event!
And as long as the body shape is similar, anyone can become a "wolf-faced man" by putting on that wolf head!
That is to say…”
"The culprit is either the Wolf-Mask's true self or a wrestler of similar build who deliberately tried to frame the Wolf-Mask."
Before Conan could finish his boast, Tang Ze took the initiative to speak and interrupted Conan.
Conan on the side glared speechlessly at Tang Ze who interrupted him, but Tang Ze immediately gave him a warning look, which instantly calmed down Conan's slightly dizzy mentality.
Seeing Conan calm down, Tang Ze smiled and looked at Inspector Megure and continued to explain: "That is to say, our workload is not as heavy as imagined. First of all, the audience is not allowed to enter this room.
In addition, none of the staff members have such a strong physique, which means that only fellow contestants can do it.
In addition, the murder weapon, gloves, and coat were all found in the bathroom and sent to the forensic department for identification."
"So, we just need to call over here those contestants who are about the same size as Wolf-Man and the others."
At this point, Inspector Megure looked at the captain of the Imperial Capital Wrestling Federation and said, "Mr. Kiba, you heard what I just said. Please gather all the players with a similar physique to the "Wolf-Mask" player."
"By the way, if you're here, Conan, that means Detective Maori is here too."
Although Tang Ze asked a question, his tone was extremely firm. As he finished speaking, Maori Kogoro's proud voice rang out at the door, "Detective Tang Ze, you guessed right. It was me, Maori Kogoro, who brought this brat here.
Now it seems that perhaps the case is calling me, the famous detective!"
"It's you, the God of Death..." Inspector Megure complained as he looked at Kogoro Mouri who was standing at the door.
"Well, it's the God of Death..." Tang Ze nodded in agreement.
"After all, there is always Detective Mori every time a case occurs..." Takagi smiled brightly, but what he said showed that he also agreed with the views of Tang Ze and the others.
"No way!!" Maori Kogoro complained directly after being ridiculed by several people, and retorted angrily: "This is my fate as a famous detective. The case is calling me to come!"
Official complaints are the most deadly. Under the meaningful gazes of several people, Maori Kogoro coughed twice, as if to bring the conversation back to the point. "No matter what, please let me, Maori Kogoro, lend you a helping hand.
Please let me see the videotape that recorded the murder!"
Complaints aside, with Conan as the man behind him, Kogoro Mouri's performance still won the trust of Inspector Megure.
So a few people put the camera on the table and started playing again.
Of course, Tang Ze also watched it again. After all, he had only taken a rough look at it before, so some details still needed to be observed and confirmed more.
After the video started, it soon fast-forwarded to the moment when Nagase Hyouta met the criminal.
"Huh? What are you doing here?"
In the video, Nagase Leota sneered as he watched a man wearing a werewolf mask enter the room: "I didn't say anything to you before the match. If you're asking me to lose to you on purpose, forget it."
At this time, the video can be seen shaking obviously, and it seems that the criminal touched the bag containing the hidden camera.
"I've told you before, I'm going to use all my strength to deal with you today."
Nagase Baota spread his hands, then turned around without any precautions, apparently intending to go around the table and get clothes from the closet next to it.
The knife hidden behind the "wolf-masked man" in the video was all captured by the camera. The moment Nagase Hyouta turned around, he rushed forward and stabbed the other person in the back.
Then Nagase Hyouta reacted and immediately turned around to resist, but he was injured and had insufficient strength to fight back, so the criminal pressed him against the wall and stabbed him in the abdomen again.
At this time, Nagase Baota had completely lost the ability to resist. He struggled to say something, but the prisoner's gloved left hand covered his mouth, and he could not say anything.
Nagase Hyouta reached out to grab the prisoner's mask, trying to tear it off, but was eventually stabbed in the chest with the last blow and died.
