Chapter 2720 2732 [Poor Acting] Request for monthly ticket (`)
"...This is real magic." After a moment of silence, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but sigh, "Every move is linked together, and every move is not superfluous. It's much better than some third-rate magicians."
"Clown" Sakonji: "..."
His eyes twitched slightly, and when he looked at the group of high school students again, he suddenly felt that everything was not pleasing to the eye. He sneered: "Maybe the 'Hell Puppet Master' didn't think so much at all, but you little brats are over-interpreting it - otherwise, if there was really only a head in the carriage at that time, where did the captain's torso go? It's impossible for it to evaporate into thin air!"
When Officer Sato thought of this incident, he was also confused: they searched the train and the railway for a long time, and checked the luggage of all passengers leaving the station, but they still did not find the body of the deceased.
It was not until they arrived at the hotel that they saw their leader hanging in the room like a puppet, swaying - if she had not firmly believed that the world was materialistic, she would have doubted whether teleportation magic really existed in the world.
She had racked her brains these days to come up with a way to make a corpse disappear and reappear, but she still couldn't figure it out... But it wasn't a big problem! As a Tokyo police officer, she wanted to inherit the fine traditions of Inspector Megure.
Officer Sato: "Jiang Xia..."
The detective replied politely: "Of course it was transported by train."
The "clown" Sakonji rolled his eyes and said, "I think you are confused because of sleep. This station only has one train every two days. There was no body on the train we took. Could it be that the body was transported here by the train two days ago or two days later?"
Hashimoto Maya: "..." I see you are just confused after sleeping. Jiang Xia is trying to save you by arresting the murderer, but you are actually defending the murderer out of spite... If the murderer is really saved, then I wonder if you will be happy.
If it were him, he would definitely shut up immediately and make this clown regret it.
Unfortunately, Jiang Xia seemed to be different from him - the kind-hearted detective was very generous and did not care about this small targeting.
Jiang Xia said slowly: "The body was roughly divided into two parts, so it was transported to the hotel in two groups.
"Let me start with the beginning. When we got off the train at the terminal, the police searched all the passengers' luggage, but there were so many people, and almost everyone on a long-distance trip was carrying large luggage... In this case, a too detailed search was not realistic, so the police only searched for large luggage bags that could hold the bodies.
"Under these circumstances, the murderer stuffed the captain's head into his shoulder bag and easily got away with it."
"?!" Officer Sato was stunned. She never expected that while she was searching hard, the murderer would pass by her with a human head on his back.
Jiang Xia: "As for the body below the neck, it was sent to this hotel via express delivery."
The Joker Sakonji's scalp tingled as he listened. "This is getting more and more outrageous. How could the murderer send mail when he was in the car? And we just arrived at the hotel, and the captain's body was immediately discovered. What kind of express delivery can run faster than the Silver Meteor we are riding in?"
Jiang Xia sighed: "In terms of magic, you are indeed far behind the Hell Puppet Master - don't you understand? The bluffing fake explosion before was not only for the purpose of leaving a psychological hint that the train would explode, it also had another purpose."
He suddenly looked at Hashimoto Maya and said, "Do you remember where the train made an emergency stop after we received that threatening phone call?"
"!" Hashimoto Maya came back to his senses in panic like a student being called by the teacher. He thought hard and answered hesitantly, "Truck station... Wait, truck?!"
When he heard this word, he understood immediately: "After receiving the threatening call, the closest and most suitable stop is the nearby truck station! - Speaking of which, I remember that when the train we were on stopped, there was a truck traveling in the same direction stopping to unload goods at the station. Could it be that at that time..."
"That's right." Jiang Xia nodded approvingly:
"'Hell Puppet Master' calculated the process and time for express delivery in advance. He prepared two large suitcases, stuffed them with stuffing, and then mailed them to this hotel in the name of 'Tojingen Blanket Master'.
"After careful calculations, when the magic troupe members took the train to the hotel, the two large luggage bags were in the truck next door.
"While the train was on the move, the 'Hell Puppet Master' first killed the head of the magic troupe, dismembered his body and stuffed it into two luggage bags. Then he timed the threatening phone call and made the Silver Meteor make an emergency stop next to the freight train.
"In the chaos, he ran to the next truck carrying the bag containing the body parts, found the two bags he had sent in advance, and exchanged the two bags.
"The people on the truck were unaware of the situation. After arriving at the station, the staff placed the two packages of body parts in the room of the 'Tozugen Blanket Man' as ordinary luggage."
"On the other hand, the murderer's luggage became a magic prop. He passed the police inspection and checked into the hotel. Then he quickly ran to the room of the 'Tozugen Blanket Man' and finished the assembly and arrangement of the body.
"Tozugen Rufu, which is pronounced as 'marionette' - according to the hotel manager, this is a mysterious man who checked into the hotel two days before our arrival and always wore a white rubber mask.
"This person is of course the murderer in disguise. Four days ago, the 'Hell Puppet Master' arrived on the Silver Meteor and booked a room at this hotel under this fake identity. He also ordered the service staff not to enter the room. Then he went back to the room, took off his hood and changed his coat, and immediately ran back to the station and took the Silver Meteor back."
“…”
This large-scale magic trick filled with blood was disassembled and spread out in front of everyone.
"Who on earth is such a genius..." Hashimoto Maya muttered a few words, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly added as if nothing had happened, "It's really sad that he didn't use his talent for the right things, but went astray!"
Gin: “…”
As expected, she resembles the people she follows - compared to the gloomy and cold look when she was following Ireland, Maya Hashimoto now looks like an enthusiastic citizen of Tokyo.
Although this enthusiastic citizen always accidentally reveals his true colors, it can be seen that he is trying his best to make amends.
Hashimoto Maya rolled up her sleeves in anger: "Who on earth is this brutal murderer?"
Gin: “…” It’s just that the drama is a bit exaggerated, and the acting seems as fake as the vodka.
