Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Mu Mu did not treat it as a suicide case lightly, and continued to question everyone.

"We've told him several times, but he still smokes here and deliberately provokes the guests," the female employee Yuriko complained, "and every time he sits right in front of the last row of projection windows."

"That's right, the smoke from the cigarette has made ghost images appear on the screen..."

Gao Cheng looked back at the people in the movie theater who were being interrogated, and recalled the time when the movie was shown.

After Zhang Tian came, the scene of the movie was indeed weird. Not only did that guy smoke unscrupulously, but he also chased away a couple who were watching the movie...

"Wait, I remember that time..."

Gao Cheng took a step back and looked at the projection window, feeling that something was wrong.

There are several projection windows, and the observation window is slightly higher. Now Zhang Tian's body is hanging in front of the projection window on the far right.

If the murderer is the projectionist Furuhashi-san...

No, there is another problem that I can't figure out. At that time, the black shadow suddenly appeared on the screen. Whether Zhang Tian committed suicide and hanged him or someone else hung him up, the action should be obvious.

But at that time, the black shadow just appeared because it was hanging, just shaking back and forth, and the process of hanging itself disappeared inconceivably...

Gao Cheng frowned and raised his chin.

It's been a long time since the last system case, and there are usually four or five ordinary cases at intervals. This case has to be solved anyway, and maybe this case is just one case away.

"Officer," a police officer reported, "according to the aunt at the box office, there were only these people in the movie theater at the time of the incident. Except for Detective Kido and these children, there were only these four people."

The policeman pointed to the museum owner and several staff members.

It takes a lot of strength to hang Zhang Tian up. On the surface, it seems that the female employee Yuriko and the old and frail owner of the museum, Mrs. Muramatsu, are not the murderers. elder brother.

Gao Cheng turned his gaze to the glasses boy.

He will not judge whether there is a suspect based on his physique.

Generally speaking, it is really difficult for women, old people, and thin and small people to hang Zhang Tian to death. However, this is only a general situation. You can’t treat the case without suspicion because of this. Just look at the director Ochiai of the Mihua Art Museum. Now, not only can he move flexibly wearing armor, but he can also lift a fat man with one hand and stick a sword on the wall.

"It's impossible for me to kill someone," the glasses guy confidently handed a digital camera to Mu Mu, "I have a full alibi. When Zhang Tian hanged himself, I kept taking pictures at my place. .”

"This is?" Mu Mu looked at a photo with a black shadow on the screen in surprise, "Is this the photo when the black shadow appeared?"

"Yes, I also happened to take pictures."

"happen?"

Mu Mu doubted: "It's easy to take pictures after you hang him, right?"

"Look at the first few photos." The glasses boy pointed to the digital camera and said, "Those are all continuous pictures I took at the same angle. There is no time to kill people."

Mu Mu still had a headache: "But it's too coincidental, isn't it? I took so many photos, it feels like I did it on purpose..."

"I saw this movie in this place when I was young, and I came here to remember it this time."

"Can you show me?" Gao Cheng took the digital camera to check without waiting for Mu Mu's consent.

There are quite a lot of photos, but it's a pity that they were all shot on the screen, and even him and Conan sitting in the front row were also photographed.

Looking at the photos at the time of the incident again, I feel that it is much blurred compared to the previous ones. To be precise, the screen in the photos is blurred, which is quite strange.

Could the prisoner be the guy with glasses? An alibi in a murder case is not necessarily the murderer, and as Police Officer Megure said, it's too coincidental...

There is also Mr. Muramatsu. In the photo, the old man was photographed leaving the auditorium, just before the incident.

He remembered that the owner of the theater had been watching movies in the screening hall,

It seems to be cherishing the last day when the cinema is closed...

"Boss Muramatsu," without waiting for Gao Cheng to ask, he pulled out the photo of the boss leaving his seat with a serious expression, "this photo captured you, why did you leave halfway? Even if you go to the bathroom, you should go to the other side, right?" ?”

"Uh, this," Mr. Muramatsu narrowed his eyes and approached the camera, remembering, "I wanted to check the condition of the air conditioner in the computer room at that time, because the wind seemed to be a little stronger than usual, and it suddenly became cold."

"Is that so?" Mu Mu asked suspiciously.

"It's true," Mitsuhiko helped explain, "I also felt very cold at that time, so I went to the toilet."

"Where is the air conditioner room?"

"Walk at the end of the corridor outside."

"Well," Mu Mu looked outside, then turned to get Yuriko and Guqiao and asked, "What about you?"

"I was in the screening room with Yuriko at that time." Guqiao explained.

"At that time, I bought a bento and made tea for Mr. Guqiao, and then something happened." Yuriko nodded and followed.

"In short, it is impossible for everyone to commit a crime. It should be that guy who committed suicide, right?"

"Go to the screening room first."

Mu Mu looked at Gao Cheng who was thinking, and did not come to a conclusion easily, and continued to lead the way to the screening room by Gu Qiao.

Gao Cheng was about to follow, when he suddenly noticed a clear footprint on the back of the seat in the back seat, and there was a litter of cigarette ashes and cigarette butts underneath.

It seems to be the seat where the victim Zhang Tian sat before, but the seat is directly in front of the observation window, not in front of the projection window.

This is strange, shouldn't Zhang Tian sit under the projection window?

He remembered that Zhang Tian was indeed sitting under the projection window, otherwise smoking would not affect the movie screen...

Gao Cheng's puzzled eyes all turned to Gu Qiao, the projectionist.

Leaving aside the specific reasons, Guqiao is too suspicious when it comes to the screening window. Although he was in the screening room when the crime happened, he was actually the closest to Zhang Tian because of the window, so it is possible to do anything.

Even if the murderer is not Gu Qiao, it must be related to him...

To go to the projection room, you have to go through the stairs beside the counter corridor. Gao Cheng then walked into the messy lounge, and then into the projection room inside, where you can see two projectors.

Gao Cheng approached the projection window and the observation window, knocked on the window glass but found nothing unusual.

"The windows here are completely sealed and can't be opened," Guqiao smiled when he saw Gao Cheng's inquiring look, and explained to Mumu, "When the shadow appeared, I was here, and Yuriko was there Make tea for me in the lounge next door, is this alibi sufficient?"

"What if Mr. Zhang Tian had been killed long ago?" Gao Cheng suddenly asked under the suspicious eyes of everyone, "What if Mr. Zhang Tian was already hanging there before the black shadow appeared?"

"what?"

Gu Qiao was stunned, and laughed, "How is this possible? If it's like what you said, how could the black shadow appear at that time?"

"It's very simple," Conan checked the projector for a while, and the child said in a tone of voice, "If the tape is divided into two parts, the first half and the second half, it should be possible to do it, right? Use the other side of the projector to show the first half, and the second half will be played again." Just switch it over."

"That's right!" Mu Mu said in surprise, "In this way, the first half can be played normally without being affected by the corpse, and when switching to the second half, the corpse will suddenly appear..."

"Some movie theaters do use this kind of projection method," Furuhashi interrupted Mumu with a smile, and said to Conan, "However, little brother, this will leave traces of splicing on the video tape, I rarely do this It's done, just look at it, there is no such mark on the belt."

"That's right, little brother," Yuriko continued, "When I bought the bento, I went in to see it. At that time, only the projector near the door was working."

"yes?"

Gao Cheng was noncommittal.

Even if what Conan said was wrong, it is certain that the prisoner did something during the screening.

As long as the method is figured out, the case will almost come to light...

"Kiroto," Conan noticed Gao Cheng's expression, leaned closer and pushed Gao Cheng, and asked curiously in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

"No."

"..."
