Chapter 363 The Betrayer's Stage (15)

Suzuki Sonoko looked around at the busy forensics personnel and the crowd watching, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that things have gotten out of hand."

Mao Lilan nodded, frowning: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so serious."

Just then, the forensic personnel hurried past them, shouting, "Excuse me, please move aside."

When Mao Lilan heard the forensic officer's shout, a picture suddenly flashed through her mind, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Ah! That's right, I remember it!"

(Flashback)

In the picture, Vermouth was looking at Mao Lilan with cold eyes. Her voice was cold and decisive: "Hurry up, get out of the way! If you don't want to die, stay away from that brown-haired girl! Hurry up, get out of the way, angel."

(End of memory)

Mao Lilan murmured to herself: "That's what she called me... But why did Miss Azusa and that woman call me that?"

Megure Jusan stood at the edge of the stage, frowning. He looked at Amuro Toru with his eyes full of expectation: "Do you understand? The criminal hung the victim up there. Is that true?"

Amuro Toru nodded and answered confidently: "Yeah! I basically understand."

Megure Jusan continued to ask: "Put a rope on the horizontal bar of the spotlight, and then tie one end of the rope to Takagi who is sitting on the chair. Can it really be lifted up by one person alone?"

Amuro Toru smiled and began to explain: "Of course. First, we need to make a loop of the rope hanging from the top of the stage like this. Next, wrap the lower loop around the upper loop from your side twice. Then, twist the lower loop slightly and use a small rope to pass through the lower loop in the middle of the rope under this loop. In this way, we have made a knot that can slide."

He demonstrated as he spoke, putting one end of the big circle on the handrail of the auditorium about 2 meters away from the stage. "Just like this, stabilize the first point."

Then, Amuro continued: "Then, we fix the rope on the side without the loop from the inside of the handrail and pass it through, and then make another loop like before. This time, we take this newly made large loop and rope to the seat 4 meters away and put it on the seat armrest. Repeat this process and make a third loop and put it on the auditorium handrail 8 meters away."

He paused and looked at Suzuki Sonoko: "Now, just hold the big loop through the middle of the rope to control the length and height of the entire rope. Miss Sonoko, you can try to pull this rope and see the effect."

Suzuki Sonoko pointed at herself in surprise: "Hey, me? I don't have much strength."

Despite saying this, she still walked curiously to the side of the audience seats and pulled the rope according to Toru Amuro's instructions.

Suddenly, Takagi Wataru was slowly hung up, and he shouted in horror: "Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Suzuki Sonoko widened her eyes in surprise: "Hey, why?"

Megure Jusan looked at the scene in front of him, his face full of confusion: "What is going on? How can one person have such great power?"

Subaru Okiya smiled and replied, "It's the principle of the pulley, right? That's the key."

He walked over to the rope, pointed to the small loop in the middle and said, "Well, the small loop in the middle of the rope acts as a pulley. Although it looks simple, it can actually amplify our strength. Imagine that one pulley can double the strength we use. What about two or three pulleys? In theory, we can get two, four, or even eight times the strength to pull the rope."

"But it should be noted," Okiya Subaru added, "that we are not really using a pulley here. Instead, we are using ropes to cleverly form circles to simulate the effect of a pulley. Of course, due to the influence of friction, we cannot fully achieve the effect of amplifying the force eightfold. However, if the rope used is light and slippery, then even Miss Sonoko, who has relatively little strength, can easily help us hang Officer Takagi up."

Amuro Toru nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Okiya's explanation is very accurate. The key to this case lies in the clever application of the pulley principle. Therefore, we can conclude that it was not a conspiracy of multiple people, but one person used this principle to complete the lifting of Mr. Hatano alone."
