"Although magic is the most direct and convenient way, it's really not the case this time!" Hoshino Sora chuckled and said, "I don't think an old man who can do magic will be stabbed in the chest by someone, so this can only It’s magic!”
"Magic?" Everyone was stunned and thought about it carefully. It seemed that it really looked like a magic, but it didn't seem to be...
"What magic? Do you want to say that my father's murder was also a magic?" Rina Domoto questioned.
"Don't worry, let me talk about cannons to kill people first... Ah, no, it's the mystery of disappearing in the air!" Hoshino Sora waved his hand to signal her not to worry, and then he said slowly, "Although I haven't ridden it before There is a cable car here, but I think there must be a mechanism inside the cable car to hide people."
"As long as it can hide people, it can explain why Eizo Domoto disappeared after the cable car lost power and fell into darkness."
Police officer Henggou asked Domoto Yasunori and others: "Is there a place to hide people on the cable car?"
Domoto Yasunori: "..."
"There is no place to hide people on the cable car!" Rina Domoto said loudly.
"Where are the seats?" Conan suddenly said, "The seats everyone makes are long strips. If they can be opened, they should be able to hide people. Right, Miss Hashimoto, Uncle Hosunori."
Everyone looked at the two people, and Naiko Hashimoto nodded, "Emergency items are usually placed under the seat. After taking out the items, it can indeed accommodate an adult."
"It turns out that the strange Buddhist sound after the power outage and the 'karma' note posted on the window afterwards were all pretense by Domoto Eizo... But wait a minute, when the cable car passes through the tunnel, we are indeed When I saw the palm of the hand of the goddess statue, Domoto Eizo had a knife stuck in his chest!" Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized at first, and then felt unusually confused, "If he hid in the seat, then Domoto Eizo on the palm What's going on? In just thirty seconds, even if there is a mechanism under the seat to leave the cable car, there is no way we can reach the palm of the goddess statue first and then be killed!"
This is indeed the most confusing point in everyone's mind. If it is a magic trick, it must also follow the most basic physical common sense. It is impossible for a person to move from the tunnel to the palm of the goddess statue above the tunnel in just thirty seconds. !
"Maybe... President Domoto who followed us into the cable car at the beginning was not himself, but a very similar substitute..." Xiaolan thought of Kaitou Kidd and couldn't help but say.
"Impossible, isn't it dad? As a daughter, I know best. He is definitely not a substitute! Right, eldest brother, second brother, secretary Hashimoto." Rina Domoto said with certainty.
The three people questioned also nodded in affirmation.
"This..." Xiaolan looked at Xing Yekong.
"It is true that the people who boarded the cable car are real people, but what you see when you look down from the cable car must be real people?" Sora Hoshino said, then asked an off-topic question, "Do you smell anything?"
"Is there one? Oh, it seems there really is..." Everyone sniffed.
Conan sniffed it and exclaimed innocently: "It smells like burning rubber!"
Then, he pretended to look for it, pointed to a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain behind him, and exclaimed: "It seems to be coming from there..."
"What are you trying to say?" Domoto Rina couldn't figure it out at all, "What does this have to do with my father's death?"
"Of course it's relevant. Since you know it's rubber, don't you know that rubber can be used to make dummies? It's difficult to find an identical stand-in, but it's not easy to make an identical life-size model!" Hoshino Sora He said, "As long as the model is placed in the hands of the goddess statue in advance, and then he hides himself, wouldn't it be possible to make the cable car disappear? I heard that before the cable car was opened to traffic, the road up the mountain was always blocked. Therefore, there is no need to worry that this method will be exposed."
"That's it!" Officer Henggou shouted, and immediately asked someone to check the incinerator next to the cabin below.
Everyone suddenly understood at this moment, while Domoto Yasu sat on the stool and lowered his head, thinking quickly.
"No!" Domoto Rina shouted loudly, "The person who died at the hands of the goddess statue was my father, not the model at all! The police have already confirmed this!"
"Does this conflict with what I said?" Hoshino Sora spread his hands and said helplessly, "Of course he wasn't dead when he hid in the cable car, but he took the cable car back down the mountain and passed by When you are in the tunnel, jump to the tunnel, and then return to the platform on the empty cable car. Everyone on the platform can attest to this. In addition, in terms of time, it is definitely faster to get here from the tunnel than running down from the top of the mountain. Bar."
"Then, when he arrived at the observatory, he reached a dead end. As for whether he might have been killed earlier, I think you can go to the cable car and look for traces along the way. There is a high probability that there will not be any. After all, the murderer is not stupid. Carrying a dead strong man with a knife in his chest and running to the observatory, if you were the murderer, what would you do?"
Xiaolan asked doubtfully: "Why does he come here?"
"Well, this question can be summarized as, why did he do such a magic trick?" Sora Hoshino looked at his secretaries, Naiko Hashimoto and Yasunori Domoto, "So, can I ask this secretary or this uncle to explain it to me?" ?"
"Vice president..." Hashimoto Naiko looked at Domoto Yasunori.
"Alas~" Domoto Yasunori let out a long sigh, "Let me tell you, it is indeed as this little brother said, my father used this magic technique. According to the original plan, he should stand on the palm of the goddess statue, Greeting the people who arrived out of breath, he smiled and said that the curse was all lies to deceive the public and was not credible. In this way, the rumors of the curse that had been circulating would be self-defeating. "
"But I never expected that my father would really die in the end. This might really be a curse, a curse at work!"
"Huh? Wait, according to the original plan, he didn't die...but he deliberately did this kind of thing!" Osamu Machida suddenly realized something, "Damn it, I already called the newspaper and informed him of his death. The newspaper company and booked the first front page of the evening paper. If he does nothing, then the newspaper company and I will fall into the trap he designed!"
"This old fox is so insidious!" Yoshino Kira couldn't help but gasped, "No wonder, no wonder we are strongly opposed to him, but he invited us as if he didn't know and let us experience the first operation of the cable car. , turns out he was making this idea!"
The Maori family couldn't help but shake their heads. This was really a good plan. It not only eliminated the curse rumors, but also rectified the newspapers that were enemies of him. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
But the premise is that this plan can succeed. The problem now is that now this plan has failed!
