Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 296: Genius Magician and Genius Criminal

"The key is the rough emerald stones placed in the hotel room. ?шщЩ.suimEnG.1a"

Gao Cheng glanced over everyone one by one.

"I believe everyone knows that every guest room is decorated with rough emerald stones, but the emeralds in the room of the victim, Ms. Xihai, have disappeared... I have checked downstairs just now, and the disappeared emeralds appeared downstairs under Ms. Xihai Room……"

"Maybe it was before..."

"No, I have asked Xiao Ai to ask the room attendant. She had just entered the room not long before the incident, and the jade was indeed in Miss Xihai's room at that time," Gao Cheng affirmed. The original stone was taken from Miss Xihai's room and brought to the room directly below——the one who killed Xihai!"

"The murderer moved the jade?" Mu Mu asked in surprise, "But why did he do that?"

"That's why I said that the murderer made a fatal mistake," Gao Cheng explained after a pause, "For the murderer, it was completely unexpected for the murderer to hear Xi Hai's screams from the waiter in the corridor. Here... the murderer who was eager to escape had to use the seesaw principle...

"Tie up Xihai's body with a rope and put it downstairs, then wrap the rope around the window to get a tree branch, then pull the rope and fall safely to the ground like an elevator... But when he was about to escape, the murderer found himself I don't have the conditions to use this method—the murderer's weight is lighter than Yu Hai's!"

"Could it be?" Mu Mu and the others looked at Gao Yuanyao with a stunned expression in horror.

"That's right," Gao Cheng looked directly at Gao Yuanyaoyi who wanted to defend himself, "The murderer who killed the head of the mountain god, Yurama, Miss Yukai, and even Junya Tokitsu, the hell puppet master is you—Gao Yuanyaoyi!"

"Detective Chenghu," Gao Yuan swallowed, and said anxiously, "Wait, you said that suddenly..."

"Using the seesaw method, the weight must be heavier than the corpse," Gao Cheng continued, "Mr. Gao Yuan, you instinctively felt that you, as a man, must be heavier than a woman in a hasty way, but you found out that you were not heavy enough when things came to an end, so Did you choose a rough jadeite weighing about 5 kilograms?"

"Wait, wait..." Gao Yuan said aggrievedly, "Even if I weigh only about 50 kilograms, which is lighter than Miss Xihai, I can't just say that I am the murderer. When the body of the head of the mountain god was found on the train, I was not with you. Together? Besides, the body disappeared immediately afterwards, right? I can't be the murderer, someone must have framed me..."

"Didn't I say that?" Gao Cheng looked at Gao Yuanyao who was still acting, "I have solved all the mysteries, of course including the mystery of the disappearance of the body of the head of the mountain god... Although the train will not arrive until tomorrow morning Can't experiment,

But it’s okay to talk about it, the key lies in the balloons and roses in the box, once you talk about it, the magic is actually very simple..."

"But Kido," Mu Mu wondered, "You have seen that kind of situation, what method should be used to make the corpse invisible?"

"The first is the psychological suggestion that is common in magic."

Gao Cheng looked at the anxious Mu Mu and said with a smile: "Looking back now, what did the prisoner do before letting us see the corpse? Yes, a few phone calls first planted the impression of bombs and roses in our hearts, so When I saw the corpse in the box, I was not surprised by the roses and balloons on the scene, and even subconsciously thought of the bomb... What if there is smoke at the scene at this time, and someone suddenly shouted 'bomb'?"

"Psychological hint?" Zuojinji took a puff of smoke, "It is indeed a common technique in magic, but what does it have to do with the disappearance of the corpse?"

"It's enough to prevent us from entering the carriage and buy a little time to hide our eyes." Gao Cheng glanced at the frivolous Zuojin Sidao, "The second key to complete the disappearing magic is to deceive the eyes, to deceive... because there is no approach, everyone Subconsciously thought that lying in the box was the body of the head of the mountain god."

"Huh?" Zuo Jinsi said in a daze, "Didn't you say there was a corpse inside?"

"This is the purpose of the murderer. At first glance, it really looks like a corpse, but what if there is no body in the box from the beginning, only a head and a cloak?"

"what?"

"It's a balloon. It's just a balloon under the cloak to replace the body. It looks like a body. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it. What's more, everyone is attracted by the head of the mountain god..."

Gao Cheng took the props brought by Xiao Ai and the waiter, and the head of the puppet had a "corpse" composed of balloons and a cloak.

"The next step is simple, as long as you use a rope to pull the head and cloak over in the toilet next to the private room, the balloons on the body will be punctured by the rose thorns all over the floor, and all the broken balloon fragments will be mixed together. The real reason there are so many balloons, because if only fragments of the balloons were left in the cloak, the trick would be easy to spot..."

Gao Cheng raised his hand and threw the "corpse" to Gao Yuanyao: "Am I right, Mr. Gao Yuan?"

Gao Yuanyao was silent for a while, then he suddenly scratched his hair helplessly, and said with a light smile: "I really admire you, the reasoning is very exciting, but what about the body parts of the corpse? Suppose, as you said, there is only the leader in the box." The head of the corpse, where did the body go?

"When the head of the group was found in the hotel room, the head and body were together. You must know that we all underwent strict luggage inspection when we got off the car. In that case, it was impossible to transport the body out. bag, I didn’t take anything, just such a small bag, how can I get the dead body out of the train?”

"That's why you killed Shijin, right?" Gao Cheng interrupted in a deep voice, "I think he may have discovered your secret of transferring the corpse, yes, the bomb riot is not just to set up a psychological trap, it is also indispensable for transferring the corpse Part of it, you use a certain method to send the corpse to this hotel without doing it yourself at all..."

Sweat dripped down Gao Yuanyao's face with a light smile: "I'm just a manager. I can't do such an exaggerated technique as you said, this kind of thing that can only be done by a magician."

"Really? In my opinion, you are really a terrible magician. You are completely performing a death magic trick," Gao Cheng continued, "The body part of the corpse was not on the train at the beginning, and of course there is no need to take it out of the train. As early as when the train stopped at the truck station because of the bomb commotion, you took the opportunity to transfer to the truck on the other side, and sent it to the hotel as a courier luggage."

"truck?"

"At that time, in order not to be involved in the explosion, the staff on the truck took refuge. As long as they had mailed the same luggage as the body bag in advance, they could take advantage of that time to change the bag... Finally, the body was sent to the hotel as a sent ordinary luggage to Dusingen, the tenant you made up."

Gao Cheng paused, looked at the silent Gao Yuanyao: "As for the head of the mountain god, you put it in your shoulder bag and took it out of the car? You took advantage of the magician's anti-psychological trap and actively pestered Officer Mu Mu , casually and with ulterior motives to open the bag and check the itinerary..."

"So that's how it is," Baima inspected Gao Yuanyao together, "Magicians will put things that they don't want the audience to see, and put them where they can be seen but not attract attention. Psychology, the so-called darkness under the lights... So many magic tricks were used in this incident."

"All these tricks can only be done by Mr. Gao Yuan," Gao Cheng turned to Gao Yuanyao again and asked, "Now you still say that you were framed, Mr. Gao Yuan?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhateds,' Gao Yuanyao didn't quibble, regretfully grabbed his hair and said, "I almost finished the most important magic trick in my life... You're right, I did make a big mistake." Big mistake, the one who really needs to be killed is you, not that high school student detective named Shijin..."

"You killed Shijin because..."

"He happened to see me going to the van with my luggage, so he guessed the trick..."

Gao Yuan paused, then looked at Gao Cheng in doubt.

"That kind of boring test can only get 75 points, how can you see through my tricks? Who are you?"

"Huh? You don't know him?" Mumu said in a daze, "Brother Kido is now one of the best detectives in Japan!"

"A famous detective in Japan?"

As soon as Gao Yuanyao took off his glasses, his whole demeanor changed. He was no longer like the timid manager of the magic troupe who just accidentally looked at Gao Cheng half-appreciatively.

"It's normal for me to have never heard of it when I've been abroad, but I couldn't see it at first glance, and I was tricked... You are still the first in these years..."

Gao Cheng said in a deep voice, "Are you admitting that you are the murderer?"

"That's right, I'm the hell puppeteer," Gao Yuanyao said with a smile, "Once the magician's magic tricks are seen through by the audience, they should quickly drop the curtain on their own. This is the teaching given to me by a famous magician. There is nothing to say... "

"A magician?" Gao Cheng closed his eyes, "There is only one thing I don't understand, it should be easier to kill people with your ability, why do you take such a big risk to send a threatening letter, and perform magic tricks on the train... ..."

"If it's just killing people, it's boring, right?" Gao Yuanyao took it for granted, "As a magician, performing an artistic crime that is as beautiful as perfect magic, full of mysteries and strange phenomena, of course requires an audience to be perfect..."

Zuo Jinsi's face was stiff, his teeth clenched and he said, "Are you really a magician? What's going on? Gao Yuan, who are you? Why did you kill the group leader?"

"I'm afraid it was revenge for Reiko Kinmiya five years ago," Gao Cheng continued. "Is it because Reiko Kinmiya's blood stained the red and white roses at the scene of the murder?"

"Totally correct," Gao Yuanyao smiled at Zuo Jinsi with narrowed eyes, "I am the genius magician you killed, the only son of Reiko Chimiya! I am the orthodox heir to the magic notes you took away from Reiko Kinmiya! "

"How, how is it possible?" Zuo Jinsi asked with a distorted expression, "I've never heard that Teacher has a child!"

"Nothing is impossible. My body is indeed filled with the blood of the peerless genius magician Reiko Kumiya. Even I knew it five or six years ago."

Gao Yuanyao kept a chilling smile on his face.

"Two years ago, I happened to see the magic performed by the Fantasy Magic Troupe, and found that the popular so-called original magic trick was exactly the same as the magic in the magic notebook left by my mother. To confirm this, I joined the Fantasy Magic Troupe as a manager. , I thought it would take some time, but I didn’t expect the disciples of these mothers to say it themselves, and the rest is how to clean up these lambs. Of course, it is perfect to send these lambs to the stage of death with perfect magic... "

"Hey, hey," Zuo Jinsi yelled, "When are you going to let this murderer talk? Take him away quickly, Mr. Police!"

"Zuojin Temple," Gao Cheng looked at Zuojin Temple quietly, "Can you tell me about the incident five years ago?"

"No, you can believe the words of the murderer," Zuo Jinji smiled and took out a notebook, "What did you say that I killed the teacher... It is true that magic is not our original creation, but it was given to me by the teacher..."

"Zuojin Temple!"

"What? I did go to the ceiling before the teacher, but what does this mean? There is no evidence at all, right?"

"Understood? This is the pathetic human nature." Gao Yuan took the notebook in Zuo Jinsi's hand and flipped through it, suddenly startled, "Mr. Zuo Jinsi, can you give me this notebook? After all, it is also my mother's relic..."

"Take it away as you like," Zuo Jinsi said with a chuckle, "Anyway, I have all the contents in my mind, and this thing is useless!"

"That's it," Gao Yuan's mouth moved slightly, he turned to Mu Mu and said, "Let's go, Mr. Police."

Gao Cheng looked thoughtfully at Gao Yuan whose attitude suddenly changed.

In any case, this serial murder case has come to an end. It would be great if Gao Yuanyao was willing to plead guilty, but this Zuojin Temple...

"Huh?" Gao Cheng suddenly found that Tan Baima had lost his figure for some reason.

The white horse explored the room on the third floor of the hotel. Gao Cheng pushed the door open and entered. Suddenly, a gust of air rushed in from the open window. When the curtains were lifted, the white cloak fluttered with the wind.

Gao Cheng looked down at Kidd who was by the window: "It really is you, who actually came all the way here..."

"I just came here to watch a magic show, but in the end such an amazing thing happened," Kidd gently pulled his hat brim and smiled, "If possible, I really don't want to meet you..."

"You knew what happened five years ago?" Gao Cheng said seriously.

"I know, I just didn't expect it to turn out like this," Kidd jumped on the window and turned his head, "I'm afraid there will be no good results for Zuojin Temple in the end. What are you going to do?"

Gao Cheng frowned slightly, Gao Yuan changed his attitude after reading the notes, there must be something wrong.

"Is there something wrong with that magic note?"

"Who knows?" Kidd slammed down the stairs, unfolded his hang glider and flew away.

"Forget it," Gao Cheng scratched his head, "Gao Yuan has pleaded guilty, and what to do is the police's business, so I don't bother to care about it."

...

The next morning, the train arrived at Shiguyuan Station on time, and Mu Mu took Gao Yuan to the platform with a serious expression, obviously still worried about Zuo Jinsi.

"Brother Kido, where is Baima?"

"Uh, I probably want to stay for a few more days..."

Gao Chenggan smiled and touched the back of his head, and suddenly froze when his eyes turned to Gao Yuan who looked at him.

Gao Yuan smiled lightly: "Actually, you are the same as me. Whether you get a sense of mission from solving puzzles or get pleasure from deceiving others, there is only one step away from being a famous detective and a perfect crime..."

"Maybe I'm going to disappoint you," Gao Cheng interrupted with a smile, "Idiots like me who only scored 75 points in the 'boring test' are good at solving crimes. They definitely can't think of perfect criminal methods, so I can only be a detective. gone."

"Idiot?" Gao Yuanyao was surprised for a while, waved his hands and followed the Hokkaido police into the car, "GD K, detective, see you by fate."
