Traveling through Conan: Buying Poirot Cafe at the beginning

Chapter 20 Solving the Murder Case (Part )

dressing room

A bloody drama is taking place at this moment.

The actor in orange costume asked: "Are you telling the truth?"

A woman wearing a green costume, dark skin and blue contact lenses said: "Ah, yes, we have been together for 5 years."

The actor in orange costume angrily said: "You clearly know that I am dating him now."

Da Lang wanted to open a can but couldn't. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Can you two calm down? Now is not the time to discuss this."

The mean-looking woman from before snatched the can from his hand and opened it for him.

"Really? I think you are the most excited person right now. You never thought that your man has two girlfriends."

The actor in green costume said: "Could it be Rose?"

The actor in orange costume stood up and asked, "Are you dating him too?"

Yukiko stood at the door with her hands folded across her chest, looking at the quarreling people with interest.

"I see. It's not an exaggeration to say that all four of them are suspected of killing the deceased."

Radixiu on the side was puzzled: "Huh? How could it be possible? Since we know that these three women are dating, the one next to them should not be. I think everyone else is different."

"Are you referring to the one who is opening the can? In fact, she and you Keith are a couple."

"what?"

"Sharon secretly told me this when she took everyone to the stage. She also said that it would affect the box office and asked me not to tell anyone else."

Radixiu and Xiaolan were both dumbfounded. Yang Ming on the side had no intention of listening, thinking that at this time, Sister Bei might have been injured. Damn it, Kudo has been given hints on whether he can do it or not. If you haven't discovered it yet, I'll solve the mystery directly.

Kudo, who was observing the mirror, finally noticed the crack on the top of the mirror. Is there a curtain behind the mirror? Kudo stepped forward to investigate. Why is there a trap door behind this? When he knelt down, he discovered that there was a feather behind him.

Opening the lid, Kudo found that there was blood inside. In an instant, Kudo understood everything about the case.

I saw him smiling, thinking that he was finally going to solve the case. So he quickly ran to the dressing room.

"Huh? Why is there no one?"

Kudo touched his head in confusion, wondering where everyone had gone, and quickly walked to the performance stage.

But I saw Yang Ming directing the actors to recreate the scene according to the actions performed before. Kudo immediately ran forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiaolan saw Shinichi and immediately pulled him into the audience.

"You're finally here, Shinichi. Yang Ming has cracked the case."

Hearing Xiaolan's change of words, Kudo looked at Yang Ming who was speaking in disbelief, and felt infinitely aggrieved.

I saw him clenching his hands into fists, with infinite unwillingness in his eyes. I wonder, is the gap between us so big? Could he really know who the murderer was at a glance?

Yang Ming sat at the front of the auditorium and said to everyone: "Keith's height is more than six feet, but the mirror is not even tall."

"In other words, the mirror can't stop Keith at all. And what he can use to suddenly appear on the stage is the prop in the ballroom, the trap door. Use the guide rail to open the trap door behind the mirror."

"You can go and investigate. There are blood stains on the cover under the trap door."

Hearing this, Radishu motioned to the police officers around him to investigate. Yang Ming's voice continued to sound.

"I believe that after the police officer investigates, he will find the feathers that fell inside, as well as the blood that fell when he was shot. There are also bullet casings shot by the murderer with a pistol."

"What! Bullets? Do you mean the murderer shot at close range?"

Looking at Xiaolan who was asking questions from behind, Yang Ming nodded.

"Yes, the murderer only needs to pass his hand through the gap under the mirror and shoot through the gap between the lid and the cover."

Radixiu said: "Isn't that the murderer?"

"Yes, the only one who can do this is Rose, who collapsed in front of the mirror at that time. The murderer is you!"

Rose's expression changed drastically and she remained silent, as if she didn't want to make a pointless struggle. The little sister on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's impossible, we never used the trap door."

"What? Never used a mirror? Brother Yang Ming, what is going on?"

Radixiu couldn't help but question after hearing the actresses' rebuttal.

Yang Ming smiled faintly: "The detective boy next to you may know."

"what?"

When Kudo heard Yang Ming nodding at him, he explained helplessly: "The mirror was actually broken before. Such a sacred mirror is broken. If you know this news, it may make you fearful. So work The staff hid the news. Only Keith and Rose were told."

"Then tell me why you told Rose and not us. Are we the only ones who have fear?"

"Because if a trap door is to be used, someone must close the door, otherwise the trap door will be opened when it is moved. And the person responsible for closing the door is probably Miss Rose."

After Kudo finished speaking, everyone fell silent, and Yang Ming continued: "As for what you just said, there are two inexplicable marks on the body, and everyone saw the pistol falling from the air, this can be easily explained. "

"Just use the angel to lift into the air. Miss Rose put the pistol on Keith's chest. The high temperature caused some burns on his chest, which also gave Keith room to react."

"What? Did you say Keith wasn't dead at that time?"

Radixiu looked at Yang Ming in disbelief, and Yang Ming also said to be patient.

"Yes, not only was he not dead, Keith also held the murderer's hand tightly with his blood-stained hand. That's why part of his palm was worn away."

"In the dressing room before, Miss Rose had a hard time opening the can, but why didn't she take off her gloves? I'm afraid the gloves were already covered in blood."

Yukiko also asked curiously: "What's the motive? Why did Miss Rose kill Keith? Is it because Keith was dating other girlfriends at the same time?"

"Of course not. In the dressing room, all the other actors have photos of themselves and Keith placed in front of their makeup mirrors. But Miss Rose is different. I think the reason is that the person you love is not Keith at all. It’s the angel he plays.”

After listening to all the reasoning, Radish finally understood. He turned around and asked Rose: "Miss Rose, do you have anything to argue with?"

Rose's face turned pale, as if she was about to collapse. He murmured: "No more, this gentleman said everything right. But it's too scary. Is this really a conclusion that can be drawn by reasoning? It's like he looked at me inside and out. .”

Yang Ming stood up and said: "Because everything in the world is like a chain; we only need to see one link to know the nature of the whole."
