Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Woo—!" The urgent siren sounded outside the theater, and a long cordon was pulled up outside the theater shortly to keep the crowd outside.

"What's going on inside?"

"I heard that a famous detective killed someone, that's the Kido detective..."

"Has the prophecy come true again?"

"horrible……"

Qing Shan, who has been in the society for several years, is a fan of reasoning. Although he is busy with work all day long, he pays attention to Gao Cheng's news whenever he has time. For this young famous detective who is many years younger than himself, he is more than ordinary people. Learned a lot more and was deeply impressed.

Especially for those wonderful cases that you can't even think about at ordinary times, just a few words from the media can make Qingshan excited all day long, and you can't wait to be the detective in the case. Unfortunately, not every reasoning fan has the talent to be a detective, and not every Every detective can be involved in murders as often as Gao Cheng.

However, he recently had a new plan, wanting to draw a reasoning comic.

There were more and more people outside the cordon, and Aoyama faintly heard the words "Kirodo Detective" and "Prophet", and then saw Police Officer Megure leading his subordinates into the cordon with a dignified expression.

Of course he knows about the "prophet". The circle of reasoning enthusiasts has been discussing it for the past few days. It is said that the murder case is predicted by collecting information, and it seems to be a challenge to Detective Kido.

I don't know what happened in the theater. Originally, he also wanted to watch an illusion show during the rare break time, but unfortunately he was too busy with work and forgot to grab tickets.

How could Detective Kido kill someone?

...

In the illusion show venue, even though the performance was interrupted, the audience couldn't leave, sitting in their seats and discussing, looking towards the stage.

Mu Mu walked into the dressing room behind the stage with a shy stomach, and saw Gao Cheng in a ronin costume holding a samurai sword in his hand, and a foreigner in the same costume lying in front of him, with a puncture wound on his abdomen, blood A large area was stained red, and he had lost his breath. There was a blood-stained samurai sword on the ground beside him.

Kaka!

After the forensic personnel finished collecting evidence, Mu Mu officially entered the scene, his brows tightened even more.

According to the confession, Gao Cheng actually became a murderer...

"How is this going?"

"That's what happened.

"

Gao Cheng also frowned, reviewing the incident before and after again in his mind.

After the opening performance, Andes the illusionist chose him to assist on stage. Then, within a few minutes of the song and dance performance, Andes took him to the backstage and asked him to change into this costume and prepare to perform a play, just like him at the beginning. It's the same as when playing a ronin in a Yamato drama, or even simpler. You only need to perform two actions, chopping and stabbing right.

Slashing is for showcasing a fierce fight, just slashing against the knife, right stabbing is actually performing killing the enemy with the audience behind your back, this is the case in most TV dramas, as long as you stab and get caught by the opponent's arm, it looks like piercing through the body.

Any audience can perform such a task decently, and the illusion troupe probably prepared Toto from the beginning, but chose him on the spot.

After taking the stage, he finished the performance well. Andes pretended that the show was over, and when he called the audience to exit, he stabbed him from behind. Chasing Andes out amidst the shouts of the audience.

This is where I was supposed to be, and then I should change in the locker room and go back to the auditorium, or give a speech with Andes. The magic show is also the same routine, pretending to have an accident and finally making a shining appearance.

But when he returned to the locker room, it had already become the scene in front of him.

Andes is actually dead, but Gao Cheng is sure that he is definitely just pretending to stab the sword, not to mention that the samurai sword in his hand is just an ordinary prop, even if it is missed, it will only stab people and bleed Possibly very few.

On the other hand, the blood-stained samurai sword next to the corpse is obviously a real sword with a sharp edge.

"That is to say, is this the case when you came here?" Mu Mu twisted a pair of thick eyebrows together.

Gao Cheng was the first to find the body. It took a few minutes for the others to rush over, and they had time to remove the fingerprints on the murder weapon. Moreover, a few prop knives were left in the dressing room, so there was no way to prove that Gao Cheng was in his hands. Is this the one for show?

"But Brother Kido," Mu Mu asked, with two big heads on one head, "The audience testified that you killed Mr. Andes, and saw you leave with the murder weapon..."

"Please, Police Officer Mumu." Gao Cheng didn't panic because he became a suspect, and clasped his chin to clear his mind. "It's just a performance. Besides, isn't my knife bloodless? A prop knife can't cause such an injury ..."

"Police," Takagi said, returning to the scene distressedly, "I checked with the audience in the front row. Kido was indeed stabbed in the back when Mr. Andes exited the stage, and he could clearly see the blood..."

"Brother Kido."

Ayumi and the others also came to the backstage and surrounded Gao Cheng with worried faces.

"Brother Kido doesn't kill people, right?"

"A performance, it must be a performance," Fatty Yuantai looked terrified, because he was sitting in the first row, he really jumped, "Isn't this some kind of illusion show? What you see must be an illusion!"

"But now people are really dead..."

Conan also trusted Gao Cheng, but after seeing the dead body in the locker room, his brows were still frowned.

If you don't consider other factors, Gao Cheng is really suspicious...

"It's true that the stage is fake, otherwise there wouldn't be a drop of blood on it." Gao Cheng himself was very calm, and he looked at Xiao Ai and said with a smile, "In fact, the illusion is to beautify the performance. Like really, did you guys actually see blood on the knife?"

"Well," Ayumi nodded hurriedly, "Ayumi really saw it, but she didn't dare to look behind her..."

"There is indeed no blood on the stage," Mu Mu said with his hands behind his back. "But, if brother Kido is acting, who is the murderer? It's only a minute or two before and after. Could it be suicide..."

Mu Mu didn't think that Gao Cheng would be the murderer, he had no motive at all, and the props were prepared by the illusion troupe.

This murder was either caused by Gao Cheng's mistake, or Andes committed suicide. He really didn't want it to be the former after seeing Gao Cheng walking all the way. There was no blood on the stage, which made him feel relieved, but there were still many problems.

Where did the real knife come from?

"It's not suicide," Gao Cheng said as a suspect who couldn't get close to the corpse, but still tried his best to observe the scene, "Even if you fix the samurai sword and hit it with your back, the angle will not be so accurate, and you have to pull out the sword and throw it away On the side..."

Gao Cheng groaned, thinking and began to restore the crime scene.

When Andes left the stage, he was only a minute or two behind. The murderer should have attacked Andes from behind in the middle of this time. He was fatal with a knife, and he was quick and ruthless. Afterwards, he directly covered Andes' mouth and nose and pushed into the dressing room just at the entrance of the aisle. , and finally escaped with a knife.

Being able to grasp the time so accurately, the members of the illusion troupe are undoubtedly the most suspicious...

However, the biggest problem is not this, but the prophecy.

On the surface, the "prophet" actually made a successful prediction again. Is it still the so-called information collection now?

It's really courageous to plan on him...
