Chapter 2027 2035 [Enemy of Life]
Jiang Xia retracted his gaze from the distance and shook his head: "I don't know either. Maybe Mr. Xun feels that he has a connection with the deceased?"
Memu Police Department: "...?"
While the police were looking for witnesses, Jiang Xia also looked around and asked people a few questions.
When he was about to go back to meet up, suddenly, a kid wearing a Kamen Rider mask stuck his head out and stopped him.
"Big brother, are you a detective? I've seen you on my sister's desk." The kid looked up at Jiang Xia, pushed the mask to the top of his head, revealing a nervous but honest face. He lowered his voice, "I have important clues to tell you!"
After Jiang Xia heard what he said, he looked at him with great interest, and then decisively took him back to the police: "Okay, let's talk about it together when we get back."
…
In the lounge of Mask Paradise, the staff gathered together.
The police had just met some of Jiang Xia’s companions yesterday and knew that they were the detective’s new teammates, so they took them back with them as well - this was how it had always been done.
Curacao: “…”
She never thought that one day she would be able to be so peaceful among a group of policemen.
After a moment of emotion, Curacao suddenly thought of something and secretly became more alert: No, if this goes on, her sensitivity to the police may decrease. If one day the police quietly approach her and she is unaware, things will be troublesome.
...You can't get used to it, you have to be alert.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Hashimoto Maya beside her, and found that the boy was indeed fidgeting.
Curacao nodded secretly in his heart: He was able to detect Uzo's boiling frog trap, this guy is not that unvigilant.
Next to her, Maya Hashimoto was unaware of her thoughts - in fact, he was not very alert, it was just that the cases he encountered were too frequent in the past period, and every time he was either attacked or treated as a suspect and the focus of police attention... Over time, whenever Maya Hashimoto encountered such a situation, his whole body would instinctively tense up, and he couldn't relax even if he wanted to.
Just then, Jiang Xia walked in with a little kid.
Hashimoto Maya glanced over there casually, and her sight suddenly stopped: "?"
...Why does this kid look so familiar?
At this moment, the little boy glanced at him, hid behind Jiang Xia, then poked his head out from behind his legs and glared at him.
Hashimoto Maya: “?”
For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
…
Officer Takagi was unaware of the subtle change in the atmosphere, and when he saw Jiang Xia arrive, he began to read the information in his hand: "The victim, Yuta Hosono, was 28 years old and the founder of the HO United Theater Company. In addition to the amusement park, he would also tour with his team in other places.
"Today, when he was playing the role of 'Kamen Rider' in Kamen Paradise, the rubber ring broke while he was bungee jumping and he fell into the lake. When he was salvaged, he had unfortunately drowned."
Inspector Megure stroked his chin and looked at the red-hatted staff member in charge of the bungee jumping platform: "Did you help tie the rubber ring on the deceased before he jumped?"
Red Hat nodded: "I have always been doing this job."
Inspector Megure thought thoughtfully: "What was the situation with the rubber ring at that time?"
"Everything must be normal!" Red Hat, "If there was anything wrong, I wouldn't let him jump. I'm a veteran employee and I know safety is more important than performance."
"Uh, that's right." Inspector Megure was a little embarrassed, and quickly turned to the other staff members, "What about you? You are the deceased's colleagues, right? Briefly introduce yourself."
Several people from the troupe looked at each other and had to speak.
A sturdy man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said, "My name is Okubo Shinpei. My main job is stage performance. My work in the troupe is a part-time job - I usually play the monsters."
The naughty kid gathered next to Jiang Xia, looking at the monster who had just stood there with his hands on his hips and yelling in shock: The evil "black alien" actually had such a righteous face! It was really strange.
After the monster introduced himself, the atmosphere eased a little.
The short-haired woman at the side said, "My name is Harukawa Kanako. I usually play the role of a princess in the troupe, and I will also take on other female roles if there are any."
Another thin man said, "My name is Otake Wataru, and I'm in charge of props and stage effects."
After the three young men finished speaking, everyone's eyes moved to the last middle-aged man with a dangerous hairline.
The middle-aged man wiped his sweat and said, "My last name is Fujita. I am not a member of their troupe. I am from the amusement park. I am mainly responsible for the park's publicity. I am the one who usually contacts the Masked Theater Troupe."
After the four people finished speaking, the monster actor hesitated for a moment and asked in confusion: "I see there is a big scene outside. Why are there so many police officers? Isn't this an accident?"
Inspector Megure said vaguely: "We can't draw a conclusion now, and the possibility of murder cannot be ruled out." As he said that, he glanced towards Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia nodded and followed the procedure to ask about the motive: "Do you have any grudge against the deceased?"
The red-hatted staff member clenched his fist nervously and suddenly said, "Not long ago, I saw Okubo and the head of the troupe arguing about the troupe. It was quite a quarrel."
Okubo, who played the monster, was shocked and immediately retorted: "What's wrong with quarreling? Who hasn't quarreled with colleagues? But you, I remember you borrowed a lot of money from the leader and haven't paid it back yet, and you also quarreled with him about it! You don't want to kill the creditor because you can't pay it back, do you?"
Kanako Harukawa, who plays the princess, seems to be afraid and wants to catch the murderer as soon as possible. She whispered: "We all saw it. There is a burn mark on the rubber ring. Only you can tamper with that place."
The red-capped man wiped his sweat while arguing with the group: "I would be crazy to do something on the bungee jumping platform! Wouldn't that be the same as telling everyone that it was me who did it? - By the way, you also have a grudge against the group leader! I remember he wanted to pursue you, but you always thought he was annoying and refused to accept it."
Harukawa Kanako's eyes twitched: "It's annoying, but how could I kill him just for this?"
The red hat refused to listen and fought more and more bravely. He turned to the thin man who was in charge of stage props and special effects and said, "And you, the captain has always treated you like a little brother. You must have been holding a grudge against him for a long time!"
Dayue She was somewhat speechless: "He is the head of the group, and I am an employee. Isn't it normal for him to order me around? Besides, aren't you guys ordered around by him? So everyone has a motive, and no one can escape!"
The publicity director of the park nearby was secretly delighted when he saw the fight among the troupe members.
However, before he could stay there for too long, Red Hat suddenly discovered that there was another person here, and he quickly waved his hand and swept him down with one stroke: "And there's Mr. Fujita! He also had a dispute with the captain, and he wanted to use his position to get kickbacks from the captain, but the captain refused to pay!"
