Chapter 1545: 1545 [Why don't you go to Uzo]
Turning his head to look, the Yasa police were surprised to find that this was the suspicious Asian man again: "...Are you a member of the regiment here?!"
"..."
Okiya Subaru bit the bullet and nodded.
Inspector Asa's gaze suddenly became unprecedentedly suspicious: "But I remember, you seem to be a prop master for a Tokyo production crew."
Okiya Subaru: "...I'm a part-time job. There was not enough manpower here before. I'm here to help."
Inspector Yasa stared at him: "Oh, come here to help, and then someone died here? What a coincidence? And on the clothing street before, why did you haunt the toilet near the crime scene? Yes. You really have nothing to do with these things?"
Okiya Subaru: "..."
... Being questioned by the police as a suspect, no matter how many times you have experienced it, it is still the same scary.
But remembering what Uzo said just now, Okiya Subaru realized that as long as he didn't reject his boss's proposal, he shouldn't really be arrested and investigated as a prisoner. After all, no matter how suspicious the police are, they still need evidence in the end.
With the presence of a famous detective like Jiang Xia, as long as Wu Zuo didn't secretly release some physical evidence that could prove his guilt, he would be safe.
Okiya Subaru: "..." When he didn't stand against Uzo, but was just a useful subordinate to him, the dangerous atmosphere around him became normal again.
Although there is a saying that "power cannot be bent", the balance in Subaru Okiya's heart has inevitably tilted to one side at this time.
In the middle of the aggressive questioning by Inspector Yasa, he found that this guy was distracted again. His forehead twitched: "When the accident happened just now, I remember that you were not in the auditorium. Where did you go and what were you doing?"
Okiya Subaru dryly defended: "I didn't kill anyone."
Conan stared straight at him, obviously wanting to ask something, but with the police and relatives and friends around, it seems that this is not an appropriate occasion. In the end, he still didn't ask directly, but he was thinking about the relationship between Okiya Subaru and the so-called "stage", as well as the woman in black and "that adult" behind her.
At this time, Jiang Xia seemed to be unable to stand it anymore, and defended his acquaintances and friends: "Chong...cough, Mr. Tanaka is just unlucky, and always encounters cases—although it is not scientific to say so, but according to my observations, it seems There are some people who have this kind of incident physique, such as a friend of mine who is a high school student."
"?" Conan was suddenly euphemistically called by name, and immediately turned his head to look at Jiang Xia: You are the one with the event physique, right?
Jiang Xia also looked at him: Don't be humble.
Conan: "…"
Because of the identification of the two ice cream robbers, Inspector Asa had a bad first impression of Okiya Subaru. He always felt that this guy looked suspicious.
But now that he heard what Jiang Xia said, he thought about it carefully, and found that it really seemed to be the case—in terms of "related to the case", Jiang Xia seemed more suspicious than Okiya Subaru.
However, Jiang Xia's previous performances made Inspector Yasa think that although the detective was annoying, he was indeed a good friend of justice.
Inspector Asaph: "..." Forget it, anyway, let's find evidence first. Otherwise, no matter how suspicious he was, he couldn't really treat him the way he treated a murderer.
He snorted, and stopped talking to the group of Tokyoites, but turned to the two beautiful assistants of the magician: "By the way, since this is a performance accident, according to your plan, the 'water accident' that caused his death Escaping the 'magic, what was the process supposed to be?"
"Actually, the front is pretty much the same." The female assistants glanced at each other. "It's just the last step. When we pulled up the curtain, Winter City should have stood above the sink and waved to the audience. But in fact, he didn't Couldn't get out of the tank."
"Isn't this nonsense. I'm asking, how should he sneak out of the sink?" Superintendent Yasa scratched his head, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Jiang Xia and the others:
"I remember I looked carefully at that time. Before the curtain around the water tank was lowered, although the deceased pretended to be struggling in the water, he did not make the 'help gesture' he said, but then he actually died. What went wrong?"
Jiang Xia hadn't spoken yet, but the two female assistants got to the point first. They asked in surprise, "Help gesture? What do you mean?"
"You don't need to worry about what this means." Inspector Yasa decided not to reveal too much to the suspects, "So the way the water tank escaped just now, when should he escape? Only by understanding this can we know the murderer What method did you use to kill him, and then find the murderer!"
The female assistants looked at each other for a moment, very embarrassed: "This...it is really inconvenient for us to say."
The three team members next to each other also nodded, and the screenwriter sighed: "Although it is to cooperate with the investigation, magic techniques are the foundation of our existence. If we disclose them to you, we will not be able to lift our heads in the industry."
"There is no need to keep this level of secrecy for such a common magic technique." Conan said suddenly, "I know the secret of this magic—the key is on the lid of the water tank! Uh..."
was happily revealing the secret, but suddenly found that Mao Lilan was also looking at him.
"Grade 1 elementary school student" froze guiltily, and tugged at Jiang Xia's clothes: "Right, brother Jiang Xia, that's what you said when you inspected the scene just now!"
Jiang Xia: "..." I never said that.
But he glanced at the slightly murderous look on the members of the regiment, hesitated for a moment, and nodded silently.
It happened that the lid of the water tank was not far away. Jiang Xia looked down and pointed to the latch at the connection:
"The lid of the water tank looks like a pair of shackles. After the magician's feet are locked and locked, it cannot be opened without unlocking the lock. But in fact, the shaft on the latch is designed to be easily pulled out. Style. So as long as the assistant pulls out the latch shaft on the side after locking the water tank cover, it can be easily opened even if the cover is still locked.
"At the beginning of the performance, the magician was put into the water tank, and the assistants pulled up the curtain. When the curtain blocked the view of the audience, the magician who was hanging upside down in the water immediately turned up his upper body with the strength of his abdomen, and grabbed the curtain hidden inside the cover. handle, probe for air. Then he has ample time to uncuff and slip through the top lid."
Inspector Yasa looked at the cover for a while, and vaguely understood, he turned his head to look at the people in the circus: "Is this process correct?"
The method has been uncovered by laymen, and there is no need to continue to keep it secret. Several team members nodded helplessly: "That's right, that's true."
