Chapter 393 Red School Trip (27)

At this time, Kudo Shinichi slowly walked out from his hiding place.

"The height of the stage is about 12m. If you put the life-saving air cushion there in advance, you won't go to that world." Kudo Shinichi's words were lighthearted yet serious.

Then, he looked at the murderer, Agata Riki, who was standing aside with a sharp gaze.

"Mr. Agada Riki." Kudo Shinichi's voice sounded.

Agata Riki looked stunned, as if he couldn't believe that his plan was so easily discovered: "Why are you here? Did you figure out the code?"

Kudo Shinichi smiled and nodded: "Yes. The clue is the white cross surrounded by four black squares at the beginning of the code. It refers to Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward, Nakagyo Ward, Shimogyo Ward, Sakyo Ward, and Ukyo Ward. The latter part of the text refers to part of the place name of Kyoto. If you overlap the position of the white cross part with the latter text, you can know which district's town name and the pronunciation of the kanji."

"According to this rule, the first code that Mr. Nishiki got was 'kun' in Konko-cho, Kamigyo-ku, 'lang' in Mantisyama-cho, Nakagyo-ku, 'suji' in Suji-bibashi-ku, Kamigyo-ku, 'no' in Kanano, Ukyo-ku, 'zhong' in Kamizhe-cho, Sakyo-ku. If you read the first sounds of these characters together, it becomes ko ro su no ha, which means 'who is to be killed?'"

At this time, Hattori Heiji also joined the reasoning: "The mirror image of the word '先' that occasionally appears is the '先' of Sengcho, Nakagyo Ward. The pronunciation of '先' is reversed to 'n po', just read 'n'. In this way, the original code becomes 'There are three people to be killed, the first one is the editor.'"

Then, Sera Masumi used the same method to interpret the second code on Mr. Nishiki: "It becomes 'There are two more people to be killed, and the next one is the leading actor.' The third code becomes 'There is one more person to be killed, and finally I will jump off the stage.' You are planning to disguise Mr. Mashan's death as suicide by jumping off a cliff, and then say that you know how to decipher the code. You regard the third code as Mr. Mashan's suicide note, right?"

Agada Riki's face grew paler and paler, and he realized that he had no way to escape.

"But thanks to you writing down the location of the suicide, we were able to make arrangements in advance." Kudo Shinichi's words carried a hint of sarcasm, yet he remained graceful.

Agata Riki shouted in despair, "Yes, it's a curse! It's a curse! I did this because I was cursed! Look at the ceiling of Ximu's room. How could a human complete that kind of arrangement in less than ten minutes?"

Agada Riki's face turned even paler, and he seemed to have realized that he had been exposed.

Kudo Shinichi continued to reason, "You used electrostatic sticky notes, which can be attached to walls or objects by relying on the power of static electricity without any adhesive. You used the sticky notes that Mr. Nishiki used to modify the script, right? First, you moved into that room the day before the murder, drew scattered bloodstains and footprints on the ceiling and let them dry. Then you stuck the electrostatic sticky notes on it to cover it. Of course, you did not forget to book this smoking room the next day, and booked all the other smoking rooms at the same time. At the same time that Mr. Nishiki called to book the smoking room, you canceled the reservation for the room with the bloodstains, so that Mr. Nishiki could move into that room. After killing Mr. Nishiki, you used a stick or something to peel off all the sticky notes, and then scattered the fallen notes on Mr. Shin's script to get away with it. Then, you used a syringe to draw Mr. Nishiki's blood and sprayed it on the center of the spray-like bloodstains drawn on the ceiling, right?

However, Agata Riki still tried to struggle: "Then, what about that giant Tengu? It suddenly appeared in my room and then disappeared in the flames. How can I explain that huge Tengu?"

At this time, Hattori Heiji took over the conversation: "When you were helping Mr. Guri with his comics, you were the only one who could help, and you were good at drawing, so of course you could do it, right? You made such a big Tengu, and if you made it with the glitter paper used in magic, the spark from the cigarette butt would burn it up the moment it touched it."
