MTL - Conan’s Corpse Picker-Chapter 1547 1547 [All are accomplices]

  Chapter 1547 Chapter 1547 [All are accomplices]

The apprentice was stunned, and hurriedly explained: "It's a kind of medicine that can lower the heart rate after taking it. Because there is an underwater escape event in the second half, you need to hold your breath for a long time, so the teacher took one 15 minutes in advance. It can assist the performance and increase the success rate.”

Inspector Asa looked at him, then at Subaru Okiya who was huddled in the corner, suddenly thought of something, and said pointedly: "Since there is no problem with the water tank cover, let's think about it from another angle—if someone puts that The medicine was replaced with something like a muscle relaxant, and after the magician took the medicine, his abdominal muscles lost strength, so he couldn’t hook himself up to the surface of the water in a handstand.”

  Okiya Subaru: "..." Speculation is speculation, see what I do!

   Don't keep hinting, I agree to Uzo's proposal, isn't it okay...

  Okiya Subaru couldn't figure out why this British policeman was always so obsessed with him.

However, thinking of Uzo who was watching a play in some corner at this time, he gradually felt that all this was very reasonable—the inspector probably didn’t know what he was thinking, he was just an ignorant tool man who was bewitched by Uzo . Otherwise, it's fine, why did he order the arrest of an innocent passing tourist buying clothes yesterday?

  Okiya Subaru sighed silently in his heart, and decided that no matter how suspicious the inspector might be, he insisted that he was not the murderer, and stayed until the end of the murder case.

  ...After surrendering and laying down, the sky seemed to have turned blue.

  …

Inspector Asa stared at the past with oppressive eyes, thinking that he could find some clues, but this time, the suspicious Tokyo man ignored him at all, and even started looking up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, not knowing what was going on. look at something.

  His forehead twitched, several veins stretched out, and he was about to approach and shake this guy to let him face the problem.

  Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jiang Xia followed Okiya Subaru's eyes and said suddenly, "So that's how it is."

  Inspector Asaph: "?"

  Okiya Subaru: "...?"

Jiang Xia looked at Superintendent Yasa: "I think there should be nothing wrong with the medicine, because I heard that during the performance of 'Underwater Escape', the curtain covering the water tank was pulled up once, but the magician didn't make us at that time. The distress gesture that was agreed before—if you are really worried, you can ask your subordinates to do a blood analysis to find out exactly what medicine the deceased took during his lifetime."

  Inspector Yasa looked at Jiang Xia, then at Okiya Subaru, and snorted: "You seem to have always trusted this guy."

  Jiang Xia nodded: "I think Mr. Tanaka is a good person."

"..." Okiya Subaru only felt that his conscience had been shot by an arrow: before he could barely think that he could be considered a good person, but now, he was going to join forces with Uzo, and he didn't know that he would be forced to What kind of crazy thing did he do... Although he can repent at that time, he has already betrayed Wu Zuo once, and if there is another time, repentance will definitely mean death. Things didn't come to an end, and to be honest, Okiya Subaru didn't know what choice he would make at that time.

  Jiang Xia handed out a good person card casually, and after sending it out, he suddenly found that although it was not obvious, the younger brother's face seemed a little distorted.

  He was a little bit puzzled, but this little boy did not make up his mind once or twice, and he didn't bother to delve into it. Instead, he looked at the water tank cover next to him and began to push the progress bar diligently.

   "Compared with the box lid next to it, this lock looks very new, and its shape is a bit strange." Jiang Xia asked the apprentice standing beside him with his head down, "Have you changed the lock recently?"

  Apprentice thought for a while: "When we inspected the props a while ago, we replaced a batch of aging and safety-risk parts, and this latch seems to have been replaced along with it."

   After finishing speaking, he followed Jiang Xia's line of sight to see the lock bolt. He was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look: "Wait, this lock... the shape seems to be different from before. Why is there an extra hole?"

  Jiang Xia also squatted beside him: "The axis in the middle is also shortened."

  The apprentice nodded, a little dazed: "Maybe the prop master installed some new mechanism."

  Beside, the prop master just happened to hear their conversation, and looked even more dazed than them: "No, if there is, how could I not know."

   "If you don't know..." Jiang Xia turned to look at the long-haired scriptwriter, "Is that what you pretended to be?"

  Okiya Subaru followed his line of sight and saw the cold sweat on the forehead of the scriptwriter. He immediately understood: Speaking of which, in a sense, the scriptwriter can be regarded as Uzo's colleague. I should have thought that Uzo might attack him...

  The screenwriter seems to want to refute, but it seems that he hasn't found an excuse yet.

  Before he spoke, Jiang Xia pointed to the top of the stage. He was referring to the place where Okiya Subaru looked up just now: "Different from the assistants and apprentices who have to be busy on the stage, after the official performance, you, the 'script teacher', don't need to appear in front of other people, you just need to watch from behind the stage. Just look at the screen.

"So during the performance just now, you could quietly leave your original post, and hide in advance just above the water tank, on the beams of the stage ceiling—during the performance, the light just couldn't shine on that position, so whether it's in the auditorium None of the people, or the members on the stage, can see you.

"The deceased was handcuffed to the lid of the water tank at the time. The weight of the body and the lid of the water tank was not light, so a steel bar was needed to lift the lid and put it on the water tank. And the steel bar went straight to the ceiling. In this way, during the performance, The curtain around the water tank is pulled up, and you can use the cover of the curtain to slide along the steel bar to the top of the water tank and land on the tank cover.

"You bring a 'shaft' of the latch with you. After inserting it into the water tank cover, the tank cover, which can be opened easily, will be locked firmly. After that, you don't need to go back to the ceiling, as long as Taking advantage of the moment when the light is dimmed, we can lift the curtain from the blind spot in the rear and escape to the backstage, and this murder hidden in magic can be completed."

Hearing this, Inspector Yasa felt that he understood: "After that, he only needs to pull out the shaft quietly while we are busy rescuing the dead, and he can pretend that this is an unknown 'magic accident'—no wonder I couldn't open the lid of the water tank at that time, but the screenwriter who went to open the box later was able to open the lid with a single hand!"

  The screenwriter gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "Nonsense! I was checking the stage effects in the background, how could I do these things. This is slander, be careful I will sue you!"

  Inspector Yasa motioned to the little police officer next to him: "Search him, look for that 'shaft'!"
