My neighbor's name is Conan

Everyone is a suspect. Although this is rare, it does exist.

For example, in the case of the fisherman, everyone was a suspect.

"What happened next?" Aoki Matsu asked.

"Then I walked around and didn't find anything. The magic show started, so I sat in the audience with Xiaolan and Conan to watch." Maori Kogoro said: "By the way, Mr. Ishida was taking pictures at the time, so he should have captured the whole process."

Qing Musong was delighted when he heard this, "That's great."

After calling Ishida Kazuma and confirming the matter with him, everyone watched the captured footage on the computer.

After the magic show officially started, there were no accidents in the first half of the performance. Dongcheng Huanyang even pretended that the magic trick failed and teased Maori Kogoro. After seeing the signal, the latter hurriedly ran to the stage but was fooled.

An unexpected scene occurred in the last part of the second half, during which Dong Cheng Huanyang escaped from the water tank. His hands were handcuffed and his feet were handcuffed to the lid of the water tank. He was hung upside down and put into the water tank. The water tank was then locked and then covered tightly with a black cloth, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

In order to make the atmosphere reach a climax, the black cloth was pulled up a little bit more, revealing the bottom of the water tank. The audience could clearly see Dongcheng Huanyang struggling inside.

Then the black cloth was put down again, and the scene suddenly became quiet. As time passed, a tense atmosphere spread.

When the beautiful assistant pulled up the black cloth again under the instruction of the backstage, in the water tank that should have been empty, Dongcheng Huanyang lay motionless with his eyes closed, and his body swayed gently with the water flow.

The beautiful assistant was so frightened when she saw this that her face turned pale. She loosened her hands subconsciously, and the huge black cloth fell to the ground.

After that, Kogoro Mouri, Conan and others ran onto the stage.

Then the director, Shingo Shoji, also reacted and began to direct everyone.

He asked the beautiful assistant to open the lock, and asked Hasegawa Minoru, who was in charge of the crane, to lift the lid of the water tank and pull Dongcheng Huanyang out of the water tank.

By the time Dongcheng Huanyang was placed on the stage and Maori Kogoro gave him artificial respiration, he was already beyond saving.

The video recorded the entire process of the incident.

"I only took pictures up to here." Ishida Kazuma said dejectedly with his head down.

Aoki Matsu nodded: "It's a very precious picture." And evidence!

Are you kidding? Aoki Matsu is an old scientist.

Aoki Song may not have much influence on other methods of committing crimes, but he knows the method of escaping from the water tank by heart.

Although no evidence has been found yet, Aoki Matsu already has a key suspect in his mind.

At this time, Shoji Shingo patted Ishida Kazuma on the shoulder and said, "Thank you so much for not stopping at that time."

"No where." Ishida Kazuma replied dejectedly.

Qing Mu Song said seriously: "Thanks to the two video recorders, we have mastered the entire incident, but..." Qing Mu Song looked at everyone and asked: "How is this magic supposed to be done?"

Some words need to make people explode themselves.

Uehara Misa explained after Aoki Matsu asked, "When the curtain was pulled up, Mr. Dongcheng was supposed to stand on the water tank."

Qing Musong then asked: "Then how did Mr. Dong Cheng get out of there?"

"Well..." Uehara Misa and Nakagawa Chiaki, who was standing next to them, looked at each other and said in embarrassment: "This really shouldn't come out of our mouths."

"Why? This is to cooperate with the investigation..." Aoki Matsu asked with a frown.

Shoji Shingo stepped forward and said, "Inspector, even if it's to cooperate with the investigation, it's really difficult to reveal the method..."

The other members of the magic troupe also nodded.

Qing Musong curled his lips and said, "Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me? This thing is not difficult."

"Huh?" Several people from the magic troupe were surprised.

Aoki Matsu looked directly at Conan and said, "Don't talk about me. Even a kid like Conan knows what the technique is, right Conan?"

Conan was suddenly called out by Aoki Matsu, and was stunned for a moment, but he still responded cooperatively: "Yes, I know how to do it."

"Really?" Several people from the magic troupe were a little unconvinced.

Conan said confidently: "The secret of that magic is hidden on the lid of the water tank, right?"

Aoki Matsu asked someone to bring the lid of the water tank over. Conan took a look and pointed at the top cover and said, "Look at this place. There is no connecting shaft on this buckle."

"Really?" Maruta Ayumi stepped forward, took a look and replied.

"After the two assistant sisters fixed Mr. Dongcheng's feet, they not only put the lid latch on, but also locked it with a big lock. Although the two locks were real, the connecting shaft on the latch was also quickly pulled out at the same time, so that the lid could be easily opened." Conan also shook the lid to demonstrate the correct method.

Conan then continued: "Then Mr. Dongcheng entered the water tank. When the black cloth fell for the first time, Mr. Dongcheng used the strength of his abdomen to stand up, grabbed the handle hidden inside the lid, and stuck his head out of the lid to breathe."

"Really, there is a handle." Mao Lilan leaned over and saw a handle.

Aihara Yoji suddenly realized, "So that's what's going on!"

Conan continued, "Then Mr. Dongcheng sank into the water again, and when the black cloth was pulled up, he pretended to struggle in the water for the audience to see, and then when the black cloth was lowered again, he opened the handcuffs that were originally designed to be easy to remove.

Similarly, use the strength of your abdomen to prop up your body, grab the handle hidden in the lid and stand up. This way you can get out of the water tank, and then stand on the water tank. This is the general content of the water tank escape magic. "

After hearing Conan's explanation, everyone felt as if they had suddenly understood something.

"I see." said Maruta Ayumi.

Mao Lilan also said: "You are awesome, Conan."

"Hehe." Conan chuckled, "I've seen it on TV before."

Qing Musong took the autopsy report made by the criminal investigator of the forensic department, took a look at it, then looked at the members of the magic troupe and asked, "Is the magic just now just like what Conan said?"

"Yeah." Uehara Misa nodded.

Shoji Shingo also nodded, "Yes, that's about it."

"The autopsy report is out. According to the report, Mr. Dongcheng's cause of death was most likely drowning." Qing Musong said, "We don't know yet whether this was an accident or someone deliberately planned it."

Maori Kogoro suddenly appeared at this time and said excitedly: "Inspector Aoki, I know!"

"What!?" Aoki Matsu looked at Maori Kogoro.

What did he know again?

"This is a murder case!" Kogoro Mori said confidently.

[Hmm? Did Uncle Maori really make a discovery, or was it just a blind cat catching a dead mouse?] Qing Musong couldn't help but guess in his heart after hearing this.

After all, sometimes Kogoro Mouri would be able to guess correctly when he was sober and luckily for him was lucky enough to catch a dead mouse.

"And the murderer." Maori Kogoro turned and pointed in the direction of Uehara Misa and said, "It's Miss Uehara and Miss Nakagawa."

"What!?" Everyone was shocked.

"Wait!" Uehara Misa was a little angry, and Nakagawa Chiaki beside her also said angrily: "How could it be us?"

"It must be that you two conspired to murder Mr. Dongcheng. You should have pulled out the connecting shaft on the tank cap latch. However, you pretended and didn't actually pull it out, right?" Kogoro Mouri stated his reasoning.

"What a joke!" Uehara Misa was very angry, and Nakagawa Chiaki also said: "We clearly pulled it out! Look."

As they spoke, Uehara Misa and Nakagawa Chiaki both took out the connecting shafts they had been holding in their hands.

"Look!"

"The first lid is clearly open now, isn't it? Look for yourself." Chiaki Nakagawa stepped forward and loudly questioned Kogoro Mori.

Maori Kogoro still argued when he saw this: "You must have pulled it out when you rescued Mr. Dongcheng just now."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Uehara Misa said angrily, "Just now, Qianming and I were supporting Mr. Dongcheng's body, and it was obviously you who was holding the lid."

"Ah!" Maori Kogoro touched his head. "Is that so?"

"Detective Maori, didn't you notice whether the lid was open at that time?" Aoki Matsu asked him speechlessly.

Maori Kogoro scratched the back of his head and said, "Well, I don't remember it very clearly."

At this time, Shoji Shingo on the side suddenly said: "I was just thinking about saving Dongcheng, but when I went to untie Dongcheng's feet, the lid did open at once."

Aoki Matsu glanced at Shoji Shingo.

His main suspect now is this Shoji Shingo.

Because at that time, when Kogoro Mori was untying the lid on Genyo Fuyuki's feet, Shingo Shoji suddenly asked Kogoro Mori to give Genyo Fuyuki artificial respiration.

You have to know that not just anyone can perform artificial respiration. It requires skills, otherwise you would be murdering the drowning person.

How does he know that Kogoro Mori can do it?

Then it was Shoji Shingo who untied Dongcheng Huanyang's feet from the lid.

From a scientific point of view, there is nothing wrong with Kogoro Mori's line of reasoning, but he has mistaken the object.

Shingo Shoji also had the opportunity to do something.

As for the fact that he wasn't on the stage at the time.

He was alone in the monitoring room at the time, and there was no one to testify that he had been there the whole time, right?

The stage lighting of magic shows is very special. Some places are very dark. People walking in the dark cannot be seen by people in the audience or in the monitoring room. Therefore, many magic shows were born, and the most common one is - the magic of the living.

The two beautiful assistants that Kogoro Mori mentioned and Kazuma Ishida were on the stage at the time, being watched by all the audience.

Therefore, in Aoki Matsu's mind, Shoji Shingo is the most important suspect. The other suspect is Hasegawa Minoru, who is also alone and has no witnesses.

Hasegawa Minoru may have committed the crime, but he did not approach the radiator cover at the first time, so he is less suspected than Shoji Shingo.

But Aoki Matsu has not found any evidence yet, so he lets Mori Kogoro do what he wants, hoping to uncover something.

"The connecting shaft should have been pulled out." Aihara Yoji said, "Inspector, if the connecting shaft had not been pulled out, after the black cloth rose, Mr. Dongcheng would not have been able to take his first breath. At that time, Mr. Dongcheng would definitely have gestured to Detective Maori in the water tank, but he didn't, which means that Mr. Dongcheng successfully took a breath."

Qing Musong nodded. "Yes, you observed very carefully. So Miss Uehara and Miss Nakagawa did pull out the connecting shaft at that time."

Misa Uehara and Chiaki Nakagawa both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Hmm..." Maori Kogoro frowned, then suddenly remembered something and looked up. "By the way, Mr. Ishida, during the break, I think you gave something to Mr. Dongcheng, and Mr. Dongcheng ate it directly."

Ishida Kazuma replied, "Yes, that's medicine."

"Medicine? What medicine?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"That's the β-Broker control agent." Ishida Kazuma replied.

"What kind of medicine is that?" Maruta Ayumi was puzzled.

Ishida Kazuma replied, "It is a control agent. After taking it, the heart rate will decrease. In order to perform this underwater escape magic show that requires holding your breath in the water for a long time, the teacher always takes one about 15 minutes before the performance."

"Did Mr. Dongcheng ask you to prepare all of this?" asked Maruta Ayumi.

Ishida Kazuma nodded and said, "Of course."

"I know! You must have replaced the medicine with muscle relaxants, right?" Kogoro Mori looked at Kazuma Ishida and said confidently.

Maori Kogoro began his own reasoning, "Taking muscle relaxants will cause the same symptoms as muscular dystrophy. It is impossible to support yourself with the strength of your abdomen."

Ishida Kazuma was a little excited when he heard this: "Please wait a moment, I admire the teacher so much, how could I..."

Before Ishida Kazuma could finish, Maori Kogoro interrupted him and said, "In fact, deep down in your heart, you resent Mr. Dongcheng. Because he never lets you stand on the stage as a magician."

When these words came out, the other members of the magic group were all shocked. These words...

"No way!" Ishida Kazuma's face changed.

Maori Kogoro looked at Ishida Kazuma and said, "The best evidence is that when everyone was trying to save Mr. Dongcheng, you were still busy filming. If you really admired Mr. Dongcheng so much, how could you be in the mood to film when you saw your master facing a life-and-death situation?"

"Ah, that's because my teacher always told me to keep recording anything that happens. He said that it would be the best proof that the professional magician Dongcheng Huanyang once existed." Ishida Kazuma defended.

"Okay." Qing Musong interrupted the two people. "When the black cloth was first pulled up, although Mr. Dongcheng looked like he was struggling in pain, he didn't make any signs, which means that at least at that time he didn't have any effect from the drug. But it's also possible that the medicine was changed. Maybe it's a medicine we don't know about. I'll have someone test Mr. Dongcheng's blood right away."

The blood analysis of the body would take some time, so Aoki Matsu asked everyone to wait in the lounge.
