Chapter 356 The Betrayer's Stage (8)

Amuro Toru shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing an indescribable firmness: "I think it's unlikely. The special machine that pulled up the curtain was placed in a locked room. At the time of the crime, all the staff who had the key to that room went to dinner, and no one stayed. This means that the murderer could not have used that machine to commit the crime."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru showed a puzzled look on his face: "So, if the criminal didn't use a machine, how did he hang the person up?"

Subaru Okiya pondered for a moment and put forward his own opinion: "Yes, this is most likely a multi-person crime. The horizontal bar above the stage is not equipped with pulleys or other devices. It is indeed difficult to lift the body to such a high position with only one person's strength."

Amuro Toru nodded and continued, "Another area of ​​concern is a folding chair, an extra rope, and a tool box placed on the side of the stage."

Subaru Okiya took over the conversation and continued, "Also, there is the rope connected to the audience seats. I found a strange little hole near the knot."

At this moment, Conan's voice suddenly sounded, and he pointed to a baseball in the aisle of the auditorium, his eyes flashing with excitement: "And then there is this baseball tied with a kite string. Why is it there?"

Takagi Wataru looked at Conan in surprise, his eyes full of surprise: "Conan, you are here too? You are everywhere."

Officer Megure Juzo shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Anyway, let's go ask the staff here first. By the way, every time a case occurs, there is always a detective. And, it's always such a coincidence that you, Conan, are here too."

Takagi Shigeru agreed: "Yeah, it seems Conan can really win the perfect attendance award. He always appears at the crime scene on time."

After an intense and detailed investigation, Takagi organized the information he had collected: "Let me summarize the information I got from the staff. First, Mr. Hatto's estimated time of death was between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. Most of the staff had clear activity tracks during this time period, but the whereabouts of two of them could not be confirmed for a long time."

He paused and continued, "These two people are Mr. Bushi and Ms. Yuancheng. Their whereabouts during the time of the incident were unknown, and they seemed to have some kind of relationship with Mr. Hatto."

Bushi Yikang seemed a little anxious. He quickly explained, "Wait a minute, I told you. I've had a stomachache since this morning and have been staying in the toilet. I really don't have time to hurt Mr. Potuo."

Kanae Madoka quickly agreed, "Yes, officer. I was running around the hall, telling the staff to do their work. I can prove that I had no time or opportunity to commit a crime."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Shigeru nodded, but he did not completely relax his vigilance. He knew that in the process of solving a case, every detail must be taken into account. So, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, I heard that the first person to discover the body was a firefighter who came to conduct a fire inspection. They may be able to provide more clues."

However, Bushi Yikang suddenly pointed at Kajitani Hirokazu and raised a new suspicious point: "Mr. Officer, if you want to talk about suspicious, isn't he also suspicious? He appeared here in work clothes, and the time was so coincidental."

Hirokazu Kajitani was caught off guard by this sudden accusation. He quickly defended himself, "Hey, let me go! Wasn't Hatoh killed? I only bought this work clothes from the staff before 5:30 pm, around 5:20, and entered the hall. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the staff who sold the work clothes!"
