Chapter 552: Observation Conclusions on Uzo (ask for monthly votes)
Toru Amuro stood up and walked to the side, picking up half of the broken candle from the ground.
He took a closer look and said with certainty: "Someone has buried explosives in it. When the candle burns short to the corresponding part, it will suddenly explode."... So there are really no ghosts in this world.
Apparently, Jiang Xia seemed to hold the same idea.
——Amuro Toru's peripheral vision moved. He turned his head and saw that this staunch materialist employee had also stood up.
Jiang Xia passed him and walked over to the posters that formed a circle.
Then he reached out and felt behind the poster stand, and quickly pulled out a piece of wire: "There is a loudspeaker connected to the recording equipment hidden behind it."
As he spoke, he pushed the poster stand that had been shaking just now to expose its bottom: "It seems that there is a small motor installed underneath, which should be the cause of the vibration."
Finally, I walked around the closet and pulled out a few cord reels from the corners:
"This is probably a device used to shake off ornaments. The fishing line is connected to the stand with the ornaments. When the coil is reeled in, the stand loses balance and the ornaments fall one by one as if they were hit by someone."
Beside the round table, a group of people gradually showed expressions of relief.
Vodka finally let go of his worries and briefly felt that Uzo was on the same side as him.
Although Uzo doesn't seem to be shy about attacking his companions, such as poor Bourbon, it always feels safer to be a tool who agrees with Uzo's position than to be hostile to him.
But...Vodka suddenly felt a little confused:
Clearly no one has died yet, why did Uzo reveal his methods so early?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Jiang Xia put down a bunch of mechanisms he had found.
Then he looked at Hirasaka Reiki, the leader of the séance, and said directly:
"Except for the candles, there are no timers on the other mechanisms; they should be activated by remote control.
"This is your mansion, so it's very convenient for you to prepare all kinds of props. Also, it was you who suggested 'holding each other's hands' to perform the ritual - I remember that there is no similar action requirement in the common séance rituals..."
Jiang Xia said this with confidence, because he did not make it up - when he first came to this world and could not find any ghosts, that bleak period of time, he actually tried everything possible and studied the various spirit-summoning rituals here with hope, hoping to summon a ghost... Unfortunately, he failed every time.
Jiang Xia's thoughts wandered off track for a brief moment.
Then he quickly collected his thoughts. He glanced at the ghosts floating nearby to calm himself down, and continued to speak calmly: "You changed the process and ritual like this to reinforce the impression that 'everyone is holding each other's hands, no one can do anything about the situation in the room, so the trouble is caused by ghosts'?"
Next to him, Toru Amuro heard this and looked at Jiang Xia with mixed feelings.
Jiang Xia actually studied the ritual of summoning spirits?
...It's not hard to guess who he wants to summon. According to the hospital records, Jiang Xia committed suicide on the night his parents died in a car accident. If there's anyone he wants to find, it must be the couple who died miserably.
But people have to face reality...
Fortunately, Jiang Xia no longer believes in ghosts and gods. Everything is getting better... Amuro Toru thinks of the changes in Jiang Xia after he left the organization, and feels a little relieved.
After feeling relieved for a second, he suddenly remembered that the reason he was standing here at the risk of "flat tire" and "encountering an incident" was to investigate "whether Jiang Xia was Wu Zuo". So he quickly came to his senses and re-examined the situation rationally.
…
On the other side, Vodka listened to Jiang Xia's words and touched his chin secretly:
Someone like Wuzo, who has indirectly taken countless lives, certainly does not believe in ghosts and retribution.
But he was so clear about the process of the séance... Hiss, it's confirmed. Today's séance is definitely related to Uzo! He and Bourbon definitely didn't just "happen" to have a flat tire nearby.
Based on the above analysis, Vodka quickly found a course of action that suited him.
——Although he still didn’t know Uzo’s specific purpose, he just had to watch quietly, act as a low-profile background, and get by…
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but in my impression, many of the people who were persecuted by Uzo were handsome men and beautiful women. Uzo seemed to have a special preference for people with high appearance values, perhaps because he thought that this would enhance the stage effect of his murder drama…
According to this standard, Vodka felt that he was actually quite safe now.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Bourbon next to him, especially his face.
Then he once again sincerely lit a candle for the main T colleague.
…
After being thwarted, Hirasaka Reiki stared at Jiang Xia for a while, then sighed as if admitting defeat.
He bent down, took out a remote control with large buttons that were convenient for blind operation from under the tablecloth, and placed it on the table.
Then he said calmly: "The insight of the famous detective is indeed not to be underestimated... Please don't mind, this is just a small test."
A group of people who like Kira but are afraid of ghosts secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were briefly wrapped up in the thought that "there are no scary ghosts around" and did not bother to blame Hirasaka Reiki.
But someone next to him stood up excitedly.
Park Noki Kazuo, the doctor who financed the fan club, turned pale and shouted to Hirasaka Reiki, "No, no! The recording we prepared is not about this at all!"
“…”
It turns out there is an accomplice...
The others looked at Park Nobuki Kazuo, then at Hirasaka Reiki, and felt that Mr. Hirasaka's aura of "psychic" suddenly collapsed.
Hirasaka Reiki looked deeply at Park Nogi Kazuo:
"Don't be nervous. I just suddenly had another idea. I thought that if I could scare Kira's murderer out by other means before the official séance ceremony, I wouldn't have to disturb Kira's tired soul...
“It’s just a pity that, at the moment, the murderer doesn’t seem to be among us.
"According to calculations, it would be most appropriate to hold the ceremony at 5:54 a.m. today. In that case, everyone should go back and rest. At 5:30 a.m., we will gather in the hall to prepare for the formal sedition ceremony."
Vodka thought the meeting would end immediately: "..."
He really wanted to follow his original idea, take the out-of-print autographed poster and escape overnight.
...But looking at Jiang Xia next to him, Vodka suddenly felt that at this time, it was best not to have too many ideas of his own.
Otherwise, he might be attacked by some unknown person the moment he tried to sneak out of the mansion, fall to the ground and die, and eventually become the reason for people to scream in the early morning.
In short, for safety reasons, before Uzo's clear instructions come down, it is best not to make your own decisions and just follow the crowd. For example, when you can get together with everyone, never be alone...
