Chapter 2151 2162 [Nothing to do but take a few steps] Ask for monthly tickets (づど)
At this moment, on the screen, the thin and dark male character swept his leg and kicked the female character far to the ground, and the two big words "KO" popped up on the screen.
Yet no one in the crowd cheered.
In Tokyo, it is considered shameful for a man to beat up a woman, even if the woman being beaten is strong enough to dismantle an excavator with her bare hands.
Some onlookers glanced at Officer Gao Mu with disdain: "You are such a policeman..."
Halfway through his words, he saw Gao Mu's game screen and was suddenly stunned: "How did you lose?!"
Inspector Megure was stunned and looked carefully, only to find that Officer Takagi's screen was showing a page of miserable defeat, while Judy's screen had a big "You win!" with a cool golden light special effect.
Judy stood up and put down her helmet, letting out a sigh of relief: It was such a good fight! If only Jiang Xia's character could be beaten up like this, then this unyielding high school student would definitely pester her to beat him up every day until Judy was overwhelmed by all the information about him.
Only then did everyone come to their senses and realize what had happened: "That male policeman chose the female role, and that foreign woman chose the male role?!"
Officer Takagi sighed and quietly tried to save his reputation: "Yes, I was sitting relaxed in my seat the whole time and didn't make any moves."
Jiang Xia nodded: "People are sometimes influenced by inertial thinking and make some wrong judgments. For example, the deceased was known as 'Caesar of Beika Town', and he usually only used the character 'Caesar' in battles, while Mr. Shishui's nickname was 'Lucas of Haido Town', and he preferred to use the character 'Lucas'.
“So before the game started, ‘Caesar’ and ‘Lucas’ appeared on the big screen, and the onlookers who knew the two people well would think that the deceased chose Caesar and the other chose Lucas.
"So when people see Caesar beating up Lucas, they will think it was the deceased who was beating up his opponent - but the reality is actually the opposite. In this match, the two of them switched roles. The deceased used Lucas, who was being beaten, while the other party used Caesar, who performed that combo."
Inspector Megure finally understood: "In other words, the deceased was poisoned to death before the game started?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "This machine can not only control the character through the player's actions, but also allow the attacks on the character to be fed back to the player. When the player is in a state of complete relaxation, once the character is hit, the player's limbs will also be driven by the machine and move slightly - as long as you don't keep staring at the deceased, under the circumstances at the time, it would be difficult for anyone to notice that he is already dead.
"So the process was roughly like this: Mr. Shimizu went to talk to the deceased before the game started. It was at that time that he stabbed the deceased with the poison needle he had prepared in advance.
"As the dead man was dying, Mr. Shimizu ended the current game and selected the character 'Lucas' using the dead man's machine.
"Then he just needs to go to another machine and choose Caesar to complete the role reversal.
"When the game was about to end, the 'Caesar' controlled by the murderer suddenly stood still. On the one hand, it was to create the illusion that the deceased was assassinated during the game, and on the other hand, it was to create a draw.
"When the game is tied, a 'Draw' message will pop up on both sides' game screens, and the screen will go dark to show game over, and then the game will automatically exit. There is very little difference between the two screens.
"But if he wins or loses, the settlement interface will have a dim 'You lose' on one side and a high-profile 'You win' on the other side, which will easily give him away - just like Officer Gao Mu was discovered by others just now."
This suddenly made sense.
All eyes were focused on Shimizu Takashi.
Shimizu Takashi didn't expect that his carefully planned plan would be exposed like this. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had not lost yet: "The murder weapon... You don't have the murder weapon, and you don't have any evidence. This is slander!"
Inspector Megure: "So can we search you now?"
Shimizu Takao straightened his back, his confidence returning: "Hmph, search as you like, but if you can't find anything, I won't let you go - just prepare to be sued."
Inspector Megure was made to lose confidence again by his confrontation. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Xia quietly: "Brother Jiang Xia, this..."
Jiang Xia: "You can search me."
Shimizu Takashi smiled with a confident look on his face.
Jiang Xia: "But we're not searching him. We're searching the hair curler next to him."
Curly-haired staff member: “?!”
He was stunned for a moment, then loudly defended himself: "I am not his accomplice, I am innocent!"
Jiang Xia sighed: "You really didn't know, but the murderer did use you to hide the murder weapon."
"The murder weapon?" The curly-haired staff member felt that he had died unjustly, "I really didn't have any!"
Jiang Xia: "Then take two steps forward."
The curly-haired staff member was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly followed his instructions and took two steps forward. Because he was too nervous, his hands and feet were a little stiff, and he almost walked sideways.
Inspector Megure was completely confused: "What does this mean? Did he hide the weapon in his armpit, so he didn't dare to wave his hands normally, so he walked in this weird posture?"
The curly-haired staff member wanted to take off his clothes to prove his innocence: "I already said I didn't hide any murder weapons!"
Judy couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but interrupt: "When this clerk walks, there's always a clacking sound on the floor. Is he wearing some kind of trendy spiked shoes?"
Everyone was stunned, and then they realized belatedly that this seemed to be the case.
The curling shop assistant came to his senses and immediately jumped up to look at the sole of his foot. When he turned it over, he found that there was something stuck in the concave part of his shoe sole.
Jiang Xia looked at the murderer: "After Mr. Zhishui committed the crime, he inserted the poison needle into a half-smoked cigarette. Then he stuck the cigarette to the tin foil wrapper with chewing gum.
"He then pretended to drop his lighter, and while picking up something, he placed the foil with the gum facing up in front of the big screen. After doing all this, he sat on another machine and started the game.
"The big screen began to broadcast the scene, and everyone gathered around. In the chaos, the clerk who walked to the front line to watch happened to step on the tin foil that hid the poison needle.
"After the cigarette is deliberately hollowed out, even if it sticks to the sole of the shoe, it won't hurt the foot too much. A careless person may not even notice it.
"Even if someone else is more careful, they will just curse 'uncultured' after seeing the stuff stuck on the sole of the shoe, and then treat it as ordinary garbage."
