Conan’s Corpse Picker

 Chapter 2037 2037【Case closed】

The Mumu Police Department quickly found the key.

“So the deceased planted the bomb himself and pressed the detonator? Did he commit suicide?” He was very shocked:

"Brother Jiang Xia actually... uh, ahem, I mean, committing suicide in this way is really unbelievable. What did the deceased want? Did he want to stay on his stage forever and use this sensational death to give people Will your career come to an end?"

Jiang Xia: "...I just said that the person who pressed the detonator might be the Masked Superman, but I didn't say that he committed suicide. This is still a murder case."

Miwako Sato looked at him and suddenly understood something: "You have found the murderer?!"

Jiang Xia nodded: "The 'Masked Superman' on the stage and on the bungee jumping platform today is not the deceased himself."

He said in chronological order: “Before the performance started, the murderer killed the deceased, then put the deceased in Masked Superman clothes and threw the body into the river in the amusement park.

“The murderer then returned to the dressing room, put on his spare Masked Superman costume, and performed the entire performance pretending to be the deceased.

"When it came to the bungee jumping scene, he pretended to confirm the situation, but actually installed explosives he made inside the rubber ring. When he was about to approach the river, the murderer pressed the remote control in his right hand and fired the explosives. Detonate.”

“The rubber ring was damaged and cracked halfway. However, by this time it had buffered the speed of descent and the murderer was able to fall into the water smoothly.

"After entering the water, the murderer found the miniature oxygen tank that had been hidden in advance, dived all the way to a deserted place, and came ashore from the corner. After finishing this, he only had to change out of the Masked Superman costume and quickly dry his hair. Then put on your regular clothes again and blend in among the troupe members as if nothing happened."

 Sato Miwako came back to her senses: "So..."

Her eyes fell on the six suspects in the space: the princess and the monster, the red hat staff and Maya Hashimoto. These four people all appeared at the same time as the fake Masked Superman, so they are not the murderers.

The only ones left are the young and strong stage special effects artist and the bald publicist of the park.

After a brief comparison, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the stage special effects artist: "Dayue, is it you? By the way, our theater sometimes uses explosion special effects. You are indeed familiar with gunpowder and have ready-made equipment! "

"not me!"

Dayue stood up in confusion and glared at Jiang Xia with a cold sweat: "I'm in charge of special effects. Although I didn't appear directly on the stage, I was very busy backstage. I didn't miss anything in today's performance! How could I be free? Do these things!”

Jiang Xia asked several troupe members: "How busy is he usually?"

The troupe members scratched their heads: "It's not bad. Speaking of which, I didn't see him backstage today."

 The child next to him was stunned for a while, and finally understood what happened in this case.

He suddenly realized, and his clear voice penetrated the audience: "No wonder the Masked Superman's performance today was so ugly. It turned out to be a replacement in private!"

"?" Dayue She was furious, "It's not ugly, it's obviously much better than the previous one!"

police:"…"

"!" Dayue She realized later and changed his words in embarrassment: "I mean, the dead are the most important, and you must respect the fruits of the leader's labor!"

The naughty boy refused to bow to the sophistry and elaborated: "It's just a change of people! Today's Masked Superman was slow in his movements and almost fell down with his flying kicks. The princess had to help him quietly. He often couldn't remember his movements..." Jiang Xia glanced at him while listening. He glanced at the murderer and saw a burgeoning murderous aura.

Jiang Xia: "..." This child is so well-behaved, he might become good friends with Conan and the others.

The child continued: "And before every explosion special effect started, Masked Superman would do a very classic signature action, but this time the special effect exploded before the action was completed."

 When he said this, the monster actor also remembered: "Today's explosion was indeed earlier than usual."

The murderer stammered: "I was really out of shape today and didn't seize the opportunity. But you can't say I'm the murderer just because of this."

Jiang Xia: "The timing of the explosion is advanced, probably because you have to hide the detonation device on your belt because you have two jobs. In this way, once the 'Masked Superman' raises his hands to pinch his waist, he can trigger the explosion special effects, and the timing will not be the same. There is too much difference from usual, and I can use the excuse of 'small mistake' to cover up the past."

 “But it proves…”

Jiang Xia: "This time is not enough for you to get rid of the spare Masked Superman costume and diving equipment. In addition, even if there is an explosion at that distance, even if you take protection in advance, your ankle will not be unscathed - and other Unlike many powerful murderers, you have left a lot of evidence here, how dare you ask me this question?"

  “…” The murderous aura on the murderer’s body became even stronger.

The policemen looked at each other. After a moment, Officer Takagi stood up silently: "Please let us check your ankle."

As he spoke, he was about to step forward, but the murderer retracted his legs as if he had been burned.

 He sat back down on the sofa with a pop. After a moment, Dayue She said gloomily: "Obviously my acting skills are no worse than those of the leader, but that guy always said that I was not qualified to play the role of Masked Superman. He also taught me with a condescending look, saying that just doing actions is not enough. You also need to have true heroic spirit...

“Don’t think I don’t know, he just wants to hold on to the starring role and prevent me from getting ahead! I’m going to show him today who is the qualified Masked Superman!”

 …

 The police car came and went, taking away an actor with average acting skills but very confident.

Mrs. Tatsumi and Tatsuma Seimaru were lost in thought as they stared at the car driving away.

 After a while, Mrs. Xun came back to her senses: "Although I have known for a long time that there would be such and such motive for killing, this time..."

　　They actually fought and killed each other over the starring position in Children's Paradise, which is simply eye-opening.

Maya Hashimoto glanced at the soulless Tatsuma Seimaru, with a hint of condemnation in his eyes: Look, it’s all your fault for complaining about the murder motive in the last scene. This one must be even more outrageous.

But why does this young master look like this? What does this case have to do with him?

If I remember correctly, he didn't watch the performance at all. Could it be that the deceased had some connection with him?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Tatsuma Seimaru suddenly ask: "Have the deceased and the murderer in this case been staying in Mask Land since before the performance started?"

Maya Hashimoto was confused, but she still played the role of a good detective assistant and answered any questions: "Of course, one is under the water and the other is on the stage - why do you ask this?"

 As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xun Zhengmaru showing a thankful smile.

Hashimoto Maya: "?"
