Chapter 1626 Killing Magic Show ()

Under the command of Tang Ze, the staff at the venue gradually took control of the entire chaotic venue according to their respective tasks.

Afterwards, Tang Ze stood on the stage with a microphone. After revealing his identity, the commotion of the audience began to exit the stage in an orderly manner under Tang Ze's instructions and the guidance of the staff.

But they were still discussing the previous magic accident.

As for the client they mentioned, Dongzhou Qize, who is still unconscious, was taken away by an ambulance shortly after, and his life or death is unknown.

Although Toshu Keiko wanted to follow him into the ambulance at first, he was stopped by Karasawa.

After all, this accident cannot be definitely an accident, especially after a few people had just quarreled, it can be said that even the biological daughter is also suspected of murder.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Karasawa to let Toshu Keiko. If the other party was really the murderer, seeing that his father still had a chance of survival, he might not take action in the hospital.

Therefore, the best situation is to leave all three people who had an argument with Dong Zhouqi at the scene of the crime, and then leave the professional matters to professionals.

After all, apart from trusting doctors to save lives and heal the wounded, they have no other choice but to do anything else.

Officer Megure, who arrived later, also agreed with Karasawa's decision after understanding the situation. Therefore, although Toshu Keiko was angry and worried about her father's safety, she still chose to cooperate with the police in the investigation.

"So, this magic has been performed nearly a hundred times in the past, and it has never failed once, right?" Karasawa looked at Dongshu Keiko and asked.

"Ah."

Dongshu Keiko choked and nodded: "But this magic is dangerous after all, and my father also told me that if he doesn't show up after half a minute after lighting the fire, the fire must be put out immediately.

This is also the safe limit time for this magic. Today I just felt that the time had exceeded and realized that something was wrong. "

"I remember that the person who tied up Mr. Toshu and put him in chains was you, Miss Keiko, right?" Karasawa looked at Toshu Keiko and confirmed.

"Yes, it's me."

Dongshu Keiko seemed to have mistakenly thought that Tang Ze was suspicious of her because of Tang Ze's previous obstruction. The emotion of being wronged made her furious: "But how could I kill my father!!"

"Please calm down, I didn't doubt you because of this."

Tang Ze said: "All the chains on Mr. Dongzhou's body have fallen off, so this cannot be used to determine who is the prisoner.

I'm just trying to figure out the entire magic process so that I can conduct subsequent investigations, so please don't worry. "

Hearing Karasawa's words, Toshu Keiko also calmed down, and Karasawa also looked at Hoshino Teru and said, "I remember it was you who wrapped Mr. Toshu and put him in the coffin, right?"

"That's right." Hoshino Teru nodded and said, "But I just wrapped Mr. Dongzhou in black cloth and carried him into the coffin. I didn't do anything else."

"Brother Karasawa, you were in the audience at that time." Officer Megure looked at Karasawa for advice: "What do you think?"

"I could see it very clearly from the first row. He really didn't make any unnecessary moves." Tang Ze nodded after hearing this.

"Then who knows the final result of this magic trick?" Officer Megure asked: "Who is the stage manager?"

"it's me!"

At this moment, Hoshino Kunihiko stood up and said: "The content of Toshu's performance today is that when the flames are burning, there will be masked men descending from the ceiling with ropes, and then rescue the people locked in the coffins!"

"Then what about the magic mechanism? Please show it to me in detail." Karasawa nodded after hearing this, and immediately looked at Hoshino Kunihiko and asked.

"There is a button in the corner of the coffin. After the coffin is closed, you can escape by pressing it with your foot."

Hoshino Kunihiko led Karasawa to the open coffin, pointed to the button in the coffin and said: "Under the original position of the coffin, there is a passage that connects to the bottom of the stage.

After pressing the button, people can easily escape from the secret passage at the bottom of the stage and then head to the ceiling.

Ah Hui will exchange with Mr. Dongzhou through the secret channel. Enter the coffin with an oxygen mask.

Later, Mr. Dongzhou used a rope to descend from the ceiling to save people. The audience will find that the person who was rescued in the coffin was not Mr. Dongzhou, but the one who dropped from the sky to save people.

In this way, the magic show of substituting the beam and replacing the pillars is completed. "

"I see, but because Mr. Dongzhou Qi didn't show up for a long time this time, Keiko immediately realized that something was wrong."

After listening to the entire principle of magic, Tang Ze nodded and said: "In other words, the key this time is that the bottom of the coffin was not opened, which resulted in Mr. Dongzhou not being able to escape.

What about Mr. Teru Hoshino, did you notice the problem at that time? "

"of course."

Hoshino Teru nodded and said: "I originally planned to wait to exchange with Mr. Qi down there, but after waiting for a long time, I found that the coffin could not be opened and there was movement of struggle inside, so I realized something was wrong.

So I quickly came out of the secret passage and prepared to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.

When we came out of the secret passage, we happened to meet my father who was about to get a fire extinguisher, and then the two of us rushed out to put out the fire. "

After Karasawa learned about the magic show, he first checked the exit of the secret passage on the stage.

The exit of the secret passage was surrounded by wood piles, so the audience could not see the exit.

According to Toshu Keiko's introduction, before the magic was performed, the secret passage was just covered with the same removable wooden board as the one next to it.

After the wood is stacked to block the audience's view, the wooden boards will be removed by Keiko Toshu who is stacking the firewood, and handed to Hoshino Teru in the secret passage.

Although this link can kill people without removing the wooden planks, it requires two people to conspire. In addition, one of them is Dongzhou Qi's daughter. Tang Ze feels that the chance is not high, so he does not consider this for the time being.

After that, he asked people to carry the coffin back to its original position, pointed the coffin's mechanism towards the secret passage, and activated the mechanism.

"There was no problem with the mechanism of the coffin, which proves that the button was not broken at the time."

Tang Ze touched his chin and muttered: "And Mr. Dongzhou had already taken off the chains and black cloth on his body at that time, which means it was not suicide."

"But in this case, if the people at the bottom block the coffin mechanism and prevent it from opening, it will also prevent Mr. Dongzhou from escaping, right?"

Officer Megure looked at Hoshino Teru with a serious look on his face and said, "If we want to take action, you are the most likely suspect!"

"W-What!?"

Hearing Officer Megure's words, Hoshino Teru looked horrified and said: "How could I kill the father of my sweetheart!
  If I really did this and let Keiko know that she would never forgive me again, how could I do this! "

"B-But, didn't you guys have a fight before?"

At this moment, Robert on the side questioned in half-baked Japanese.

This also made Officer Memu's expression condensed: "What's going on? Is there something going on?"

"That's it." Tangze heard Officer Megure's question and told Officer Megure about the scene that happened in the lounge.

"In that case, you are the most suspicious!"

Officer Megure suddenly realized it, and immediately looked at Teru Hoshino with a serious look on his face and said: "You must be resentful because your marriage is opposed!"

"no!"

Hoshino Teru said with a serious face when he heard this: "There is no way I would do such a thing!
  Even though Mr. Qi objects to us being together, I believe that as long as the two of us continue to persevere, one day we will be able to gain each other's approval! "

"That's right!"

Dongzhou Keiko also stood beside her lover: "We have decided to be together, and even Ahui is ready to be blocked by his father!
  But we won’t give up. If dad really doesn’t agree with us being together, we will decide to elope and then go to Xia Country to start over!

I don’t have my father’s connections there, but I believe that with Ah Hui’s strength, he can still shine! "

"But you are indeed the biggest suspect!"

Officer Megure heard this and said: "And someone must have done something to make the bottom of the coffin impassable!"

"There is no mechanism." Hoshino Kunihiko, who was still drinking vodka, spoke at this moment: "I have performed this magic a hundred times, and I am very familiar with it.

There are no mechanisms at all, just press the button and the exit will pop up. "

Hearing Hoshino Kunihiko's words, Karasawa frowned and walked towards the coffin again.

The burning smell from the coffin was still pungent, mixed with the smell of dry powder from fire extinguishers. He didn't use super-olfactory inspection just now because the smell was too severe, so he postponed the inspection.

But when he got closer to the coffin and before he activated his super-smell sense, his eyes stopped at the switch in the corner of the coffin.

Apart from saving people, he had not carefully inspected the coffin, but now when he looked again, he found something strange.

Mr. Dongzhou Qi reached the switch button and was not burned?

You must know that it was a very big fire. If the fire was not extinguished in time, I am afraid that the entire bottom of the coffin would have been burned through.

But near the mechanism, the burn marks were obviously lighter than those around it.

Something is obviously wrong.

Tang Ze bent down and approached again. After turning on his super sense of smell, he sniffed lightly with his nose. There was a smell that was different from the smell of burning and dry powder, exuding a slight odor.

"Brother Tang Ze, have you discovered anything?"

Seeing Karasawa's actions, Officer Megure stepped forward and asked quickly.

"I already know the truth about this accident." Tang Ze said: "This is not an accident, nor is it a suicide, but a murder that was prepared in advance!"

"what!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Although Robert on the side could not speak well, his hearing seemed to be good. After hearing Tangze's words, his eyes lit up and said: "Mr. Tangze, you said this was a murder case, have you already solved this case?

Oh my God, I didn’t expect that I could actually see your famous reasoning with my own eyes! "

"What is this foreigner talking about?"

Seeing Robert excitedly rushing to Karasawa's side and constantly speaking English, Officer Megure frowned and asked Karasawa that if he was disturbing the order, he would be ready to have him pulled away directly.

"It doesn't matter, this is our guest." Tang Ze waved his hand and said with a smile: "He is a fan of my books. He just heard that I was going to solve this case, so he was a little excited."

"Brother Karasawa, you are really famous." Officer Megure looked at Robert next to him and couldn't help but said, "You have foreign fans."

"Partner, it's just a coincidence."

Tang Ze waved his hand, and then said seriously: "Let's talk about this case first.

The trajectory of this case is very simple. The murder was just a manipulation of the mechanism inside the coffin, so that when Mr. Dongzhou Qi escaped, he was unable to open the switch that controlled the exit. "

"But, we just checked the button." Officer Megure said with confusion on his face: "The mechanism is still intact, isn't it?"

"It's intact, but it doesn't mean that Mr. Dongzhou Qi at that time could open it."

Tang Ze smiled and said: "If the button of the mechanism had been frozen at that time, it would naturally have prevented Mr. Dongzhou Qi from escaping while the mechanism was intact, right?"

"what?"

Hearing Tang Ze's words, everyone present was shocked.
  "Brother Karasawa, you mean freezing!?" Officer Megure said in astonishment: "How to do it?"

"When alcohol and dry ice are mixed, the temperature will quickly drop to minus 100 degrees Celsius, which can basically freeze anything in contact instantly."

Tangze said: "Another advantage of freezing is that after the fire burns the coffin, it will not leave any traces."

"But how could such a move be possible in front of such a large audience?" Dongshu Keiko asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Just using a very thin rubber balloon is enough."

Tangze said: "The murderer only needs to put dry ice and alcohol into two balloons, and then put them into the coffin before the performance begins. This trick is complete.

After Mr. Dongzhou Qi enters it and sets the fire, the balloon will burst due to the temperature inside the coffin before Mr. Dongzhou releases the chain and presses the button.

At this time, the dry ice and alcohol inside will mix together instantly, directly freezing the escape control button.

As a result, Mr. Dongzhou Qi could only die in a sealed coffin due to high temperature and lack of oxygen in the huge fire.

Both dry ice and balloons will be burned by flames.

But the murderer missed my existence. When I realized something was wrong, I used tools to pull out the coffin and put out the fire in advance, thus leaving some evidence.

Inside the coffin, there were still some residues left behind after some balloons had been burned and dissolved. "

"It's really too much!"

After hearing Karasawa's words, Toshu Keiko covered her mouth and sobbed loudly: "Who did such a cruel thing?"

For Toshu Keiko, even if her father objects to her marriage, he is still her biological father.

When she thought about her father being tortured in such a cruel way, and even now his life or death is still uncertain, Toshu Keiko couldn't help but cry.
