"I can't contact him since last night."
In the cafeteria of Mihua International Hospital, Bai Hejing said calmly to Belmod on the other end of the communication line.
Since Bai Heqing left suddenly last night, she had not contacted Bai Heqing until this morning.
This was a very rare situation. If she hadn't known that Bai Heqing had been to Belmod's place at midnight last night, she would have suspected that he was ambushed and killed on the way.
"Ajing, you can't contact him, why do you want to ask me?" Belmode and Bai Hejing had a laugh and asked with a smile.
"Because it's impossible for him to disappear without a trace. If he didn't tell me, he must have told you." Bai Hejing replied calmly.
She knew better than anyone in the world what kind of man her father was.
Shirakawa Kiyo just looks invulnerable, everyone in the world has weaknesses, and he is no exception.
At any time, Bai Heqing will make sure that at least one person close to him knows his whereabouts and knows how to contact him.
In his opinion, this is an invisible protection for his important people.
"You really know him well..."
Belmod heard this and said quietly. Her tone was very complicated, making it difficult for Bai Hejing to judge her true emotions when she said this.
"Reger should have gone to find his old friend's son this morning."
"Old friend?"
"The late famous magician."
Black Feather Pirates One.
Bai Hejing remembered that this person was indeed one of Bai Heqing's former friends.
It was eight years ago that the great magician Kuroba Toichi was invited to the United States to hold a magic tour show, and in the process he unexpectedly met Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
The two people, who seemed to have some similarities in personality, quickly became friends.
However, this friendly relationship did not last long, because the Black Feather Thief saw through Shirakawa's disguise. Not only that, the clever magician also secretly investigated Shirakawa's former identity, and even vaguely noticed Shirakawa's identity. That Ching is working for some evil organization.
But soon, his investigative behavior was also noticed by Bai Heqing. Without any hesitation, Bai Heqing quickly began to make arrangements and personally sniped Black Feather Pirates on his way home after a magic show.
After that, Kuroba Toichi's wife Kuroba Chikage disappeared, because Kuroba Chikage most likely knew something from Kuroba Toichi.
Therefore, Shirakawa Kiyoshi spared the great magician's only son, Kuroba Kaito, who was still young at the time, and sent him back to Japan for surveillance as a check on Kuroba Chikage, which continues to this day.
This can be regarded as the grudge between Shirakawa Kiyo and Kuroba's family. Although Shirakawa Kiyo sniped and killed Kuroba Toichi, to Kuroba Kaito who had no idea, Shirakawa Kiyo still had the status of "a good friend of his late father".
"Did Black Feather Qianying appear?" In just a moment, Bai Hejing guessed the meaning of Belmode's words.
It is impossible for Shirakawa Kiyo to do unnecessary things. He will suddenly go to see Kuroba Kaito, and it can only be related to Kuroba Chikage, who has been missing for many years.
"He has the idea, but he's not sure." Bellmode replied.
"And the mysterious person who called the police the Jingyi people mentioned last night also aroused his vigilance."
"A fake Shirley who can disguise herself and an unknown police caller. What does he want to do?" Bai Hejing asked.
Without answering Bai Hejing directly, Belmode suddenly turned to another topic.
"Speaking of which, Ah Jing, you should still remember what Rum mentioned to him two days ago, right?"
"..."
"Katsurogi jumped from the other side!" Terumi Hoshino shouted loudly from the artificial cliff in the studio.
"Xiaolan! Call an ambulance first!"
Maori Kogoro immediately stood up, shouted to Maori Lan, and quickly ran towards the back of the artificial cliff.
"That brat! Find a job for me!"
"I'll go check out the situation." Behind him, Karasuma Ying and Conan followed directly.
Unlike the front of the artificial cliff, which is covered with rocks and soil, behind the cliff, which is not visible to the camera, is a completely exposed steel frame structure used for overall support.
"What the hell!"
And just below the pile of steel structures, there was a layer of inflatable cushions that had been smashed through. In the middle of the cushions lay a man wearing an Omnimar leather suit.
Needless to say, this person is naturally Katsuragi Toma who just jumped down from above.
The chest of Onymar's leather sheath has been torn, and Katsuragi Touma's blood is slowly seeping out along these cracks.
"Ah!" When the staff who came with him saw this, they couldn't help but let out a harsh scream.
"Katsugi, Katsuragi..."
"No need to call an ambulance, just notify the police directly."
Mouri Kogoro stood up from the cushion and said solemnly: "Mr. Katsuragi, he is already dead."
Karasumaying, who arrived later, took out white gloves from behind and put them on, walked around the cushions, and began to observe the scene skillfully.
She didn't feel any discomfort or surprise about this. Anyway, since she came to Japan, she would encounter such a thing every three to five times, and she was used to it psychologically.
"Xiaoying, be careful not to damage the scene." Mouri Kogoro glanced at her and reminded her.
"I know, Mr. Mori."
As soon as Karasuma Ying finished saying this, she noticed something strange on the air mattress.
"This air mattress is broken."
The first scene that everyone saw was that after Katsuragi Toma jumped from above, he smashed through the air mattress below and fell into the breached air mattress.
Judging from common sense, when the center of the air cushion is impacted, the edge of the air cushion should bear the greatest pressure, so that is where it is most likely to break.
But the air cushion in front of me is different, because it has a hole directly in the center, a very neat and smooth hole from beginning to end.
This gap gives people the feeling...as if it was cut open intentionally.
"This air cushion may not be able to absorb impact at all."
Conan also noticed the abnormality on the air mattress, frowned and said: "Mr. Katsuragi should have directly hit the ground after falling... This may be the cause of death."
"Probably not exactly."
Karasumaying squatted next to the air mattress and carefully touched the blood-stained area on the chest of the Onymar leather sleeve with her gloved hands.
Then, a small fragment of broken leather armor fell off, covered with blood.
"The chest armor was damaged and dented inward. With this amount of bleeding, most of these fragments should have been inserted into Mr. Katsuragi's chest." Conan said after taking the blood-stained fragments.
The materials used for these fragments are very hard and can indeed penetrate the human body easily under a certain amount of pressure.
While the two were observing the scene, Mouri Kogoro also caught the director who was also running over and asked:
"Hey! Didn't you arrange any staff behind you? Haven't you ever considered the possibility of an accident before?!"
Being grabbed by Mouri Kogoro's wrist, the director explained in a panic: "Well, um, we also have air cushions, and accidents usually happen in the front, and accidents in the back basically don't happen..."
"Basic?!"
"This, this is also what the producer meant! The producer informed us early this morning that we must prepare well in advance to prevent accidents..."
"So, did the producer tell you that you don't need to be on guard from behind?" Karasuma Ying stood up and turned to look at him.
"Yes, it is……"
"Bang!" Shaking away the director, Mouri Kogoro faced almost all the staff who had gathered and shouted loudly:
"Okay! Protect the scene now! Don't all gather here, and don't leave without permission before the police arrive!"
Under the control of Kogoro Mouri, the situation in the studio gradually calmed down. Everyone stayed quietly in the studio and did not leave without permission.
It's just that their faces all had a more or less sad or worried look, which surprised Karasuma Ying a little.
"Is Mr. Katsuragi very popular on the set?" Sitting in the rest area, Karasumaying curiously asked Hoshino Terumi next to her.
Although it was a bit offensive, she actually always thought that Katsuragi Toma, who did not have a high emotional intelligence, might not have many friends in the crew...
"His popularity is very low. They are actually more worried about their future."
The makeup on her face had not yet been removed, Hoshino Terumi replied in a calm tone:
"When Omnimar was a big hit, Katsuragi, the male lead, died suddenly. Whether our current crew will still exist in the future is a question..."
Speaking of this, Hoshino Terumi looked at Karasuma Ying and asked: "Xiaoying, was Katsuragi's death an accident?"
"I'm not sure now. At least there's something wrong with the air mattress I noticed... Sister Terumi, did Katsuragi jump off on his own?"
Karasumaying asked. At that time, only Katsuragi Toma and Hoshino Terumi were on the artificial cliff.
"Yes." Hoshino Terumi nodded and said: "At that time, he retreated to the edge of the back side of the cliff. When I thought he was about to start running, he squatted down and didn't know what he was doing there, and then suddenly jumped down. .”
Katsuragi Toma's jump was so sudden that Hoshino Terumi had no time to react. When she ran to the back edge and looked down, she only saw Katsuragi Toma hitting the air mattress.
"In other words, he didn't fall because his feet slipped at all..." Karasuma Ying frowned upon hearing this.
He jumped down, which ruled out the possibility of accident... Was it suicide?
But based on her contact with Katsuragi Touma at the office yesterday, Karasuma Ei does not think Katsuragi Touma has suicidal tendencies.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Hoshino Terumi is lying, but as soon as this idea came up, Karasumaying herself stopped it.
Unless there is irrefutable evidence, Karasumaying will not doubt her friend at all.
To put it bluntly, even if it was really Hoshino Terumi who did this, she would only find a way to help Hoshino Terumi cover up the truth.
Although this is very illegal and does not meet most people's expectations of her, this is indeed Karasumaying's true thoughts.
She is indeed not a pure detective.
However, in the current situation, Hoshino Terumi, as the only person on the cliff at the time, was indeed highly suspicious.
"Sister Huimei, I heard that today's scene was originally supposed to be performed by a stuntman?" Karasumaying asked.
"Well, stuntman Komiya was originally supposed to perform, but because of his recent poor health, the crew originally planned to postpone the filming of this scene, but Katsuragi suddenly proposed that he would act in this scene himself.
Initially, everyone disagreed, but it was only with his strong request and the producer's approval that the final decision was made. "
"Producer?" Karasumaying heard the word again.
I remember that the previous staff mentioned that this morning, at the request of the producer of this crew, all the staff were moved to the front of the cliff, leaving only an air mattress at the back.
"Did the producer approve of Mr. Katsuragi performing in person?" Karasumaying asked.
"Yeah, and in the original design, Onymar only needed to jump off the edge of the cliff. It was only after the two discussed with each other that they decided to change the action to sprinting and then taking off..."
"Hey! What happened?! I got a call saying someone called the police?"
Just then, a bespectacled man wearing a shirt walked into the studio and asked loudly.
"Mr. Shibata! Something big has happened!" Seeing him, the staff in the studio suddenly became respectful.
"He is the producer Daisuke Shibata." Terumi Hoshino explained softly.
"Don't panic! Tell me the general situation first, and also! Have someone tell the people in the security room not to let in the reporters outside!"
"The police are coming!"
At this moment, several police officers also hurried into the studio. Not surprisingly, the leaders were also acquaintances of the Maori people - Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru.
"Everyone, be quiet! I'm Search Section 1 Police Chief Sato!"
Showing her police officer ID card, Sato Miwako said loudly: "We received a call from the police and came here. Next, we will first conduct an on-site investigation, and then collect evidence from everyone present. Before that, please do not leave the photography studio."
"Officer." After Sato Miwako finished speaking, Shibata Daisuke immediately asked: "Is it okay to arrange for the people here to go to the lounge first?"
"No problem, as long as you don't leave the photography studio."
"Okay, then the staff will stay at the scene, and Miss Hoshino and other actors will go to the lounge..."
With that said, Daisuke Shibata looked at Mori and his group and said, "Are you Mr. Katsuragi's guests? If you don't mind, why don't you go to the lounge together?"
"No, Detective Maori and the others will stay to assist in the investigation."
Sato Miwako said, she looked back at the Maori people, and when she made eye contact with Karasuma Ying, she nodded.
"I understand." Upon seeing this, Daisuke Shibata no longer insisted.
"Sister Huimei, I'll go over there."
Karasuma Ying stood up and walked towards Sato Miwako.
