Chapter 2721-2733 [Case Closed]
Fortunately, although this skill cannot be hidden from smart people, it is more than enough to fool some people.
The two police officers did not suspect this enthusiastic citizen who saved the plane. Their eyes fell on the remaining members of the magic troupe following Hashimoto Maya's question.
——Yes, who is the murderer?
Sensing their doubts, Jiang Xia came to the wall of Room 115 and pointed at the two jadeite stones on the shelf:
"The road was reopened faster than expected. In order to save time, the Hell Puppet Master made a small mistake when killing the Mermaid Lady Xi Hai."
The others looked at the two heavy stones in the direction he pointed, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
Every profession has its own expertise. The hotel manager who was watching noticed something unusual and asked in surprise, "Why are there two raw stones in this room?"
As a local specialty, they placed a piece of raw jade in each room as a decoration.
But at this moment, in this unoccupied room, there were actually two stones - one more than normal.
Jiang Xia tapped the heavy stone in front of him with his fingers and said, "There is an extra stone because the jadeite from room 215 upstairs was taken down and placed here.
"The performance of 'Mermaid Princess' requires a lot of physical strength, and Miss Yumi is strong and as strong as men.
"This made the murderer's killing process not smooth. Before she died, Miss Xi Hai let out a loud scream. This sound attracted the attention of other people in the hotel.
"There are witnesses in the corridor, and others will soon follow the sound. Under these circumstances, the murderer cannot escape through the front door anyway.
"In order to leave this room, he had to change his original plan and adopt the method he used in the second case. He planned to use the rope and the body of the 'Mermaid Princess' like a seesaw to slide down the stairs smoothly and leave.
"So the 'Hell Puppet Master' tied up the body with a rope and lowered her to the ground through the window. Then he hung the rope on the tree branch outside the window and pulled the other end of the rope, trying to land smoothly... But at this moment, he discovered a problem.
"——He was lighter than the dead 'Mermaid Princess'. This caused him to hang on it and unable to fall down.
"So he had no choice but to return to the room and pick up the 10-jin jadeite in the room. Only then did he break his balance and successfully leave the crime scene."
“…”
Compared with the previous large-scale magic that was carefully prepared and shocked everyone, the magician who was anxiously hanging on the tree in Jiang Xia's description at this time seemed particularly embarrassed.
A magician who is well prepared and a magician who performs a hasty and accidental encounter are like two completely different species.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." I wonder if Usa-sama's stage will also have this shortcoming, if... Wait, stop thinking, I'm thinking about something dangerous! This is not what I should be thinking about!
Unlike the members of the organization who were distracted, the people around them had already started looking for the murderer who was about to be exposed according to Jiang Xia's words.
Soon, their eyes stopped at the trainee female magician: "Ms. Canjian, I didn't expect you to be so secretive."
"???" The trainee female magician was stunned. "What are you talking about? I'm not the murderer! If I could come up with that kind of trick, would I be an apprentice magician here?"
Conan looked at these stupid teammates in silence. Jiang Xia had said so much, and they still made the wrong choice: "Why are you all surrounding Miss Canjian? - Have you forgotten the weights reported by the magic troupe members at the Lake Center Theater?"
He flipped through the small notebook in his hand: "'Psychic' Uncle Sakuraba weighs 81 kilograms, 'Clown' Uncle Sakonji weighs 72 kilograms, Miss Canjian weighs 55 kilograms, and 'Mermaid Princess' Sister Yumi weighs 53 kilograms..."
“?!”
The two policemen were stunned: "The Mermaid Princess" is actually lighter than the apprentice female magician?
"Could it be that someone lied about their weight?" Officer Takagi scratched his head, "Or is it that the difference in their weights is too small and they have to increase a little to slide smoothly?"
Jiang Xia shook his head. "It was raining, and the branches were slippery. You didn't need a big weight difference to slide. And you forgot another person - Mr. Gao Yuanyaoyi, the manager of the magic troupe. I remember he said before that he only weighed 50 kilograms."
"……manager?"
The three remaining magicians were stunned and looked at the conscientious and honest man in disbelief: "Gao Yuan did all these things? How is this possible!"
Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head: "If it wasn't him, then could it be you guys who did it?"
Three magicians: “…” Well, let Gao Yuan do it.
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked up and down at the bubble water fountain in front of him: it was so tall and so light, yet it could manipulate such a heavy puppet. It seemed that this "hell puppeteer" had a similar structure to Maori-classmate-as soon as he heard it, he had a very close relationship with his own Haixin Theater. I strongly recommend staying in Beihua Town.
Gao Yuanyao, who was gazing at the magician candidate opposite him with satisfaction, was silent for a moment when all his tricks were exposed. Suddenly, he pushed up his glasses and revealed an indescribable smile.
His facial features were clearly the same, but with the subtle change in his expression, the timid look from before suddenly disappeared - the good-looking magic troupe manager quietly disappeared, and in his place was a superior murderer, a murderer who still looked down at his prey calmly even when surrounded by the police.
"My premonition was indeed accurate." Gao Yuanyao laughed, "I only need one step to complete the greatest magic trick of my life. Unfortunately, everything ended in the hands of a detective like you... Yes, just as you said, I am the murderer of these cases."
Hashimoto Maya was enjoying the melon peacefully, but at this moment, she was startled: "..." Wait, there is not enough solid evidence, why did you confess so easily? If you go to jail, where can I find my magician candidate! ——After seeing your performance, Lord Uzo will definitely not be easily dismissed by other magicians... Can you guys consider the poor and innocent interviewer when you confess your guilt!
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked at the magician who honestly confessed his guilt and seemed to have the same question.
Gao Yuanyao glanced at him and spread his hands helplessly: "The magician's tricks have been seen through by the audience, so of course he should draw down the curtain and leave the stage on his own initiative."
Officer Sato was relieved by his good confession, but...
She was puzzled and said, "You want revenge if you want it, but why did you send a threatening letter to invite us to come and watch? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
