After putting himself in the shoes of the murderer, Kwang-woo quickly understood the methods and purpose of the case.
However, whether it's as he thinks, Guangyou doesn't know yet. After all, it's still unknown whether anyone is dead or not. Maybe the damage and bloodstains on the mask were caused on the stage?
Um...
That's unlikely, considering Conan is here.
The title "Death God Elementary School Student" is no joke.
After figuring out the method, Guangyou didn't take the masks to the scene to confirm the situation, but left them in the bathroom.
If someone really died, and the murderer's method and motive were the same as his earlier thoughts, then he should be able to find the murder weapon in this bathroom.
Indeed, a few minutes later, Guangyou found the brown paper bag containing the murder weapon behind the toilet in one of the stalls.
Inside was a blood-stained knife and a pair of equally blood-stained gloves.
Well, that confirms it now.
The blood on the knife and gloves is still fresh; someone must have died over there, but I don't know how many died in total.
To avoid missing anything, Guangyou also checked the other cubicles, but everything was normal and he found nothing.
This is exactly what he expected.
Guangyou now knows the modus operandi and motive of the crime, but the only thing he doesn't know is the identity of the murderer.
However, based on the current clues, the murderer definitely has a grudge against the great god Jing Qing, most likely related to matters of interest.
After all, fame brings trouble. Wolf Warrior is so popular and making so much money right now, it's not surprising that some people are envious.
There is another possibility: that Da Shen Jing Qing directed and acted in this whole thing, meaning that the murderer could very well be Da Shen Jing Qing himself.
However, this possibility is extremely slim. But based on the clues he currently has, he cannot directly rule out the suspicion of the great god Jing Qing.
There was no need to keep the bathroom anymore. Guangyou took two brown paper bags and walked out of the bathroom, preparing to go to the scene to check the situation.
I wonder if there's been any progress in Conan's story.
On the way there, Kōyū took out his phone and sent a text message to Ai: "Someone else has died here. I can't go back for the time being. Don't worry."
Ai quickly replied, "I know, just be careful."
After receiving the reply, Guangyou thought for a moment and then sent another message: "If Xiaolan asks about us later, just tell her about the situation here."
"Um."
After receiving a reply, Guangyou put away his phone and continued walking in the direction from which the noise had come from.
The commotion over there just now was probably a call for the deceased to go to the competition, which means that right now only the wolf-faced warrior played by the great god Jing Qing is on the field.
Without an opponent, the match will be forcibly interrupted. When there is no match to watch, Uncle Mori and Ran will soon notice that he and Conan are not sitting properly in their seats.
Let Ai explain it to them later, so they won't get scolded.
After all, even the great god Jingqing couldn't fight alone.
Surely we can't fight each other?
Wrestling with your left hand against your right hand...
That wouldn't be wrestling; that would just be a completely deceptive human behavior.
Perhaps some diseases can cause this?
Never mind, I still have to go to the scene and see what's going on.
Upon arriving at the scene, Kōyū saw Conan squatting solemnly in front of a travel bag, carefully taking out a video camera from the bag.
Kōyū placed the brown paper bag containing the mask and the murder weapon on the table beside him and bent down to look at the camera in Conan's hand.
A note with the name "Yomiuri TV" was pasted on the camera. According to Kōyū, the camera was probably deliberately placed in the contestants' dressing room by the TV station to film the contestants before they went on stage.
Many programs do this, and most of them hide the camera to capture more realistic footage.
"How's the situation now?" Kōyū glanced at the dead man lying in a pool of blood, then turned to Conan. "Any progress?"
"At present, all we know is that the deceased was named Nagase Hyota, a member of the Imperial Capital Wrestling Association. He was on his way to a match against Mr. Oogami, but was found dead in the dressing room. The main cause of death was a stab wound to the chest. That's all the information I have at the moment."
Conan looked up and saw it was Mitsuyu, then lowered his head and continued fiddling with the camera. "As for progress... there isn't any yet, but after watching the videotapes in the camera, there should be some progress."
"Could it be that this footage captured the murderer?"
Kiba, who had just called the police, squatted down and looked at the camera with a complicated expression.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Kōyū turned his head and saw that the man next to him was the squinty-eyed captain from the last match, whose surname seemed to be Kiba...
"It's possible they filmed it." Conan casually replied, then pressed the button on the camera through his handkerchief, bringing up the video files.
After sorting the video files by time, Conan opened the video file that was the most recent.
On the screen, Nagase Hyota's figure appeared before the group. Conan's lips curled slightly, Kiba's expression was solemn, while Kōyū's face showed an expression of "just as I expected".
Conan and Kiba want to obtain information about the culprit from the footage captured by the camera, and ideally, they want to directly confirm the culprit's identity.
When Kwang-woo first saw the footage, his first thought wasn't "Who is the murderer?", but rather "My suspicions are correct."
As the video played on, Kwang-yu became increasingly certain that his guess was correct.
