"What you need to do now is to find out the truth about the murder as soon as possible..." Gin continued on the other end of the phone, "The scene of the death was broadcast live. In less than half an hour, the police will arrive at the venue. Although I don’t think Shirley will ask the police for help, you’d better be more prepared. In addition, if there are police investigating at the venue, the woman will probably hide in the hotel or even use the police to cause us trouble. , to escape, so you also need to find the murderer as soon as possible and get rid of those policemen."
"It's no problem to find out the truth. I can solve the case now," Chi Feichi said. "If you need it, I can cooperate with you and you can decide the time to solve the case."
Ginjiu didn't expect that there would be a 'designated time to solve the case'. He didn't rush to question Chi Feichi's confidence and whether he would make mistakes. He seriously thought about the action plan, "Since you already know the truth, let's let him know as soon as possible." The police and those who would interfere with the hunt are leaving..."
…
More than ten minutes later, police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Criminal Division Violent Investigation Section 1 arrived at the scene.
All the curtains were lowered on the stage, but Shou Hualian's body was still lying on the ground like a puppet with its strings cut off.
Around the body, the police and forensics personnel who took over the scene were busy, preventing others from getting close to the body.
"Hualian, who killed you? Tell me, I will avenge you!" Shou Meiling cried sadly and wanted to throw herself at the body. After being pulled by Shou Meimei, she turned around and stared at the stage fiercely. Chengxiang and Jingmei were wearing formal dresses, "It must be you, right?! It was one of you two who killed Hualien!"
The two girls were startled by Shou Meiling's gaze and took a step back.
"No, it's not us..."
"We don't know anything..."
"You must be worried that Hua Lian won the championship, so you killed her cruelly!" Shou Meiling rushed towards the two girls, "Hurry up and confess to me!"
Shou Meimei stretched out her arms and hugged Shou Meiling tightly, shouting with tears in her eyes, "Mom, please calm down!"
Miwako Sato stepped forward to help hold Shou Meiling. Seeing that Shou Meiling was too emotional to communicate, she had to have someone take Shou Meiling to the hotel infirmary to rest.
After Shou Meimei waited for her mother to be helped away, she seemed to have lost all her strength, slipped and knelt down between the stages, and looked at the body on the ground with tears in her eyes.
It was not the first time that Mumu Shisan saw such an emotional and grief-stricken scene of family members, but every time he saw it, he still felt a little suffocated with a heavy heart. He took the initiative to walk to Shou Meimei, stretched out his hand towards Shou Meimei, "This Miss, please rest assured that our police will do their best to find the murderer of Miss Hualian. Now our police still need to find you to understand the situation. I hope you can cheer up!"
Shou Meimei raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, took Memu Shisan's outstretched hand, and stood up reluctantly, "Yes... I will cooperate."
Mumu Shisan let go of Shou Meimei's hand, sighed inwardly, and then turned to look at his old acquaintances.
Mao Lilan and Lingmu Yuanzi turned to look at Shou Meiling who was being helped away, and walked to Shou Meimei with unbearable expressions, ready to comfort Shou Meimei.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki stood behind the corpse, looking up at Wia who was distracted when the rope broke high up, with a solemn face and a hint of confusion.
Dr. A Li and his three children stood in front of the gap curtain on the stage, away from the corpse, and also helped the host of the competition maintain order at the venue.
The God of Plague’s friends are all here, can the God of Plague be far away from them?
"Ahem..." Mumu Shisan continued to glance around, but there was no gain, "Then, Brother Maoli, Brother Chi, or..."
"Conan and the like..." Wataru Takagi thought about the faces that were often active at crime scenes and looked around, "Did they go to other places to investigate?"
"No, my father is not here..."
Mao Lilan quickly started with the threatening letter received by Shou Hualian, the mother and daughter of the Shou family entrusted Maori Kogoro, the hospitalization of Maori Kogoro after falling down the stairs, the entrustment to his apprentice and daughter, and then their previous treatment of Shouhua. Lian’s protection plan finally talked about how Shou Hualien disappeared, everyone searched to no avail, discovered that Shou Hualien returned to the stage by herself, and Shou Hualien died on the stage.
It would take a lot of words to explain all of this clearly. Fortunately, Suzuki Sonoko, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, Kotobuki Meimei, Miura Daigo and the two girls who had had an argument with Kotobuki Hualien were also at the scene, and the police were questioning them from time to time. , and worked with Mao Lilan to explain clearly what happened.
"When we heard the noise outside, we ran from the backstage to the back of the stage." Mao Lilan turned to look at the entrance and exit behind the stage. Thinking of the scene at that time, her face turned pale. "At that time, Miss Hualian had already been hung up. When we looked towards the stage, she fell out of the air and hit the stage..."
"What happened to this dagger?" Mumu Shisan looked at the dagger on Shou Hualian's chest and asked, "When was the dagger inserted into Miss Hualian's chest?"
Mao Lilan hesitated, "This..."
"From where we were at the time, we could only see Miss Hualien's back, so we didn't see whether the dagger was inserted into Miss Hualien's chest." Nanatsuki Koshizui looked serious, "But Miss Hualien When she appeared on the stage, Mr. Chi and I were still on the phone. He was in the venue at that time. When Miss Hualian was just hung up, her strange and unnatural posture with her hands raised scared the venue. I heard a lot of people talking about it, and soon there were female guests exclaiming and asking everyone to look at Miss Hualian’s chest..."
"Brother Fei Chi also told us that when Miss Hualien was first hung up, she had this dagger stuck in her chest and her hands were raised like a puppet." Suzuki Sonoko carefully glanced at the body on the ground and quickly Looking away, "He was thinking at that time whether Miss Hualian might have been killed."
"Speaking of which..." Takagi Wataru recorded the contents in a notepad and couldn't help but look around again, "Where did Mr. Chi go? Did he go to other places to investigate?"
"No, it's not..." Mao Lilan looked sideways at the periphery of the stage isolated by the curtain, with a somewhat complicated expression, seeming helpless and worried, "After Miss Hualian's body fell down, Brother Fei Chi arrived on the stage. Go up, have someone pull up the curtain, and have the host shout something, and have the hotel staff block the entrance and exit of the hotel..."
"After that, he went to watch the video of the program team of Nippon TV Station, and then he sat there all the time." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked in the same direction, with the same helplessness and worry in his eyes, and lowered his voice and said, "He He said he wanted to think about the incident alone and hoped we wouldn't disturb him, but he didn't even see the body..."
Suzuki Sonoko looked sideways at Maori Ran and Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and said with certainty, "He must have been hit!"
Mumu Shisan was puzzled, "Strike?"
Mao Lilan sighed softly, "This commission, whether it is checking the room, checking the safety of the room, or checking the security near the venue, the storage of packages at the front desk, and my personal protection of Miss Hualian, it is all Brother Chi who has to worry about it. According to the arrangement, in order to ensure the safety of Miss Hualian, Brother Fei Chi personally picked us up from the 20th floor during the inspection at the venue..."
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but asked, "If it's not sure whether it's a threatening letter or a prank, and no one is injured, even if it's called the police, the best the police can do is this, right?"
Takagi Wataru couldn't help but nodded.
Even if an incident like a threatening letter is not considered a criminal case and is handled by the police, the district police who come over may not be able to handle it as carefully and carefully as Chi Feichi.
"But..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the depressed Shou Meimei, and decided to speak out what was in her heart, but she used more euphemistic words, "Miss Hualien left the team for unknown reasons and was killed in the end. She worked so hard to protect her. One person, but the other person was still killed. Brother Fei Chi feels that it is normal to be hit."
Outside the stage curtain, Dr. Agasa, Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were lying in front of the gap in the curtain, peeking in quietly.
After hearing what Suzuki Sonoko said, the three children couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the person being mentioned, with confused expressions.
Before the police arrived, Brother Chi was already sitting by the stage...playing games on his mobile phone with his head down.
Yes, they secretly watched it several times, and they were sure that Brother Chi was indeed playing the elimination game on his mobile phone, and he was very attentive to the game.
Did Brother Chi keep playing the game because he was hit? Could this be Brother Chi's way of relieving stress?
Under the round table in front of a group of people, Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho hid under the tablecloth, gathered together, and used their mobile phones to watch the live video that Dr. Agas had just secretly copied from the TV station staff.
Since Dr. Ali, the three children, and Chi Feichi were all standing or sitting on the stage less than three meters in front of them, the two of them did not dare to speak loudly or move around under the table. They also used headphones to watch the video. .
When Miyano Shiho saw the last part of the first video, he reached out and tapped the screen of his mobile phone, paused the video playback, pointed at himself behind the two waiters, leaned towards Kudo Shinichi's ear, and said in a very low voice, " I was photographed.”
Kudo Shinichi looked at the face in the video that was a little blurry due to the distance. He couldn't help but smile and complained in a low voice, "It's much better than I imagined. We were standing behind two waiters at the time, plus the distance, Your face was not captured clearly, and the next second after your face was captured, the live broadcast cut to an advertisement. If they were not so sure..."
"Even if they are not so sure that it is me who is photographed, they will still come here. Didn't you already see it that night at the Twin Skyscrapers?"
Miyano Shiho said calmly, looking across the tablecloth in the direction of the stage where Chi Feichi was.
Moreover, Brother Fei Chi had watched these live videos earlier than them. If Brother Fei Chi had seen photos of Shirley, a traitor to the organization, he would definitely recognize her current face.
Brother Fei Chi is sitting next to the stage now. Do you want to observe the people in the venue?
By this time, she was no longer so entangled and panicked. She probably had a bit of a broken mentality, and suddenly thought that this might not be an opportunity.
From this incident, she might be able to make a preliminary judgment on Brother Fei Chi's status and situation in the organization.
The premise is that she can survive tonight.
Otherwise, no matter how much you know, it will be useless.
