Chapter 2029-2037 [Case Closed]
Inspector Megure quickly found the key.
"So the deceased planted the bomb himself and pressed the detonator himself? Did he commit suicide?" He was shocked:
"Where Brother Jiang Xia is, he actually... uh, ahem, I mean, committing suicide in this way is really unbelievable. What did the deceased want? Did he want to stay on his own stage forever and end his career with such a sensational death?"
Jiang Xia: "...I just said that it might be Kamen Rider who pressed the detonator, but I didn't say he committed suicide. This is still a murder case."
Miwako Sato looked at him and suddenly realized something: "You have found the murderer?!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "The 'Kamen Rider' on the stage and the bungee jumping platform today was not the deceased himself."
He said in chronological order: "Before the show started, the murderer killed the deceased, then dressed the deceased in Kamen Rider's clothes and threw the body into the river in the amusement park.
"The killer then returned to the dressing room, put on a spare Kamen Rider costume, and performed the entire show pretending to be the deceased.
"When it came to the bungee jumping scene, he pretended to check the situation, but in fact he installed his own explosives inside the rubber ring. When he was about to reach the river surface, the murderer pressed the remote control in his right hand and detonated the explosives."
"The rubber ring was damaged and broke halfway. However, it had already buffered the speed of descent, allowing the murderer to fall smoothly into the water.
"After entering the water, the murderer found the miniature oxygen cylinder that he had hidden in advance, dived to a deserted place, and came ashore from a corner. After completing these, he only needed to change out of the Kamen Rider costume, quickly blow-dry his hair, and then put on his normal clothes again, and he could blend in with the troupe members as if nothing had happened."
Sato Miwako came back to her senses: "So..."
Her eyes fell on the six suspects in the space: the princess and the monster, the red hat staff and Hashimoto Maya. These four people had appeared at the same time as the fake Kamen Ultraman, so none of them were the murderer.
The only ones left were the young and strong stage effects artist and the bald promoter of the park.
After a brief comparison, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on the stage special effects artist: "Dayue, could it be you? By the way, our theater sometimes needs to use explosion special effects. You are indeed very familiar with gunpowder and have ready-made equipment!"
"It's not me!"
Dayue She stood up suddenly, glaring at Jiang Xia with a cold sweat on his face: "I am in charge of special effects. Although I didn't appear on the stage directly, I was very busy backstage. I didn't miss any part of today's performance! How could I have time to do these things!"
Jiang Xia asked several troupe members: "Is he usually very busy?"
The troupe members scratched their heads. “That’s not bad. Speaking of which, I didn’t see him backstage today.”
The child next to him was stunned for a while, and finally understood what had happened in this case.
He suddenly realized something, and his clear voice pierced the whole audience: "No wonder Kamen Rider's performance was so ugly today, it turns out that they changed the actor in private!"
"?" Dayue She was furious. "How can it be ugly? It's obviously much better than the previous one!"
police:"……"
"!" Dayue She realized it belatedly and awkwardly changed his words: "I mean, the dead are the greatest, you have to respect the fruits of the captain's labor!"
The naughty child did not give in to the sophistry and explained in detail: "It's just a change of players! Today's Kamen Rider was slow in his movements and almost fell down during his flying kick. The princess had to secretly help him up and he often couldn't remember the movements..."
While listening, Jiang Xia glanced at the murderer and saw a thriving murderous aura.
Jiang Xia: “…” This child is so well-behaved, maybe he can become good friends with Conan and the others.
The kid continued: "Before every explosion, Kamen Rider would do a very classic signature move, but this time the special effect exploded before the move was finished."
After he said that, the monster actor also remembered: "Today's explosion was indeed earlier than usual."
The murderer stammered, "I was not in good shape today and didn't seize the opportunity. But you can't say I am the murderer because of this."
Jiang Xia: "The explosion was brought forward probably because you had to perform two duties at the same time, so you had to hide the detonator on your belt. This way, once Kamen Rider raised his hand and pinched his waist, the explosion effect would be triggered, and the timing would not be too different from usual, so it could be covered up with the excuse of a 'small mistake'."
"But the evidence..."
Jiang Xia: "That's not enough time for you to dispose of the spare Kamen Rider costume and diving equipment. In addition, even if you took precautions against an explosion at that distance, your ankle would not be unscathed. Unlike many other powerful murderers, you have left a lot of evidence here. How dare you ask me this question?"
“……” The murderous aura on the murderer became stronger.
The police looked at each other. After a moment, Officer Gao Mu stepped forward silently and said, "Please let us check your ankle."
As he was about to step forward, the murderer suddenly retracted his leg as if he had been scalded.
He plopped back on the sofa. After a moment, Otake She said gloomily, "My acting skills are no worse than the captain's, but that guy always said that I couldn't be a Kamen Rider. He also taught me with a condescending look, saying that it's not enough to just do the actions, but also to have real heroism...
"Don't think I don't know. He just wants to firmly hold the leading role and prevent me from taking the lead! Today I will show him who is the qualified Kamen Ultraman!"
…
The police car came and left, taking away an actor with average acting skills but great confidence.
Mrs. Xun and Xun Zhengwan stared at the car driving away in a daze.
After a moment, Mrs. Xun came back to her senses: "Although I knew there would be various motives for murder, but this time..."
It is really eye-opening that they actually fought and killed each other for the starring position in the children's playground.
Hashimoto Maya glanced at Xun Zhengwan, who seemed to have lost his soul, with a look of condemnation: Look, it's all your fault for complaining about the motive for murder in the last scene, and this one is even more outrageous.
But why is this young master like this? What does this case have to do with him?
If I remember correctly, he didn't watch the performance at all. Could it be that the deceased had some connection with him?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xun Zhengwan suddenly ask: "The deceased and the murderer in this case have been staying in the Mask Paradise since before the performance started?"
Hashimoto Maya was baffled, but she still played the detective's assistant well and answered any questions: "Of course, one is underwater and the other is on the stage - why are you asking that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xun Zhengwan revealing a relieved smile.
Hashimoto Maya: “?”
