The world's No.1 detective doll

"Sorry! I'm so sorry!"

The person in charge hurried over and apologized repeatedly.

It wasn't until the other party promised that the two of them could go to the garden for free and the food was free, then Ranbu cleared his throat, pretended to be reluctant, and pulled Yingzi back.

Sakurako: ...

After being reprimanded, Fujimoto obviously became much quieter. After honestly apologizing to Yingzi, he didn't say anything, just followed behind them.

Ranpo found the place where Sakura was pushed away, and what she bumped into was a zombie model standing on the ground. Ranpo looked at it for a while, and then Shin pushed the model to the ground.

The plastic shell shattered suddenly, revealing what was wrapped inside—a corpse.

"what--"

A few timid staff behind him screamed uncontrollably, frowned in disorder, and squatted down to examine the corpse carefully.

The deceased was a male about 20 years old. His eyelids and mouth were sewn up with needles and threads. There was a deep wound on his neck. The semi-coagulated blood flowed almost all over the model along the wound. The blood on Yingzi's body came from here.

Looking down, the dead man was wearing one of the lost clothes in the playground.

"This is...the prince's clothes."

"prince?"

"Yeah, it's the prince in Snow White."

Ranbu looked up at Yingzi strangely, "It turns out that your mind is filled with such things..."

"What, what!"

"Hey, that... the person in charge? Go and turn on the lights in the haunted house."

"Okay! Mr. Edogawa, please wait a moment."

Walking further in, the rancid smell became more intense, Luanbu frowned, and cast his eyes on the hanged ghost on the ceiling.

When the security guards were directed to take down the hanged ghost and put it on the ground, everyone realized that it was not a prop, but a real corpse.This body, also wearing the same lost playground clothes, had its eyes and mouth sewn shut, only this time the wound was on the abdomen.

"This...how could this be..."

Fujimoto stared at the corpse on the ground with rounded eyes in astonishment, with an incredulous expression.

Not only that, Luanbu walked through the haunted house completely, and found all the corpses hidden in the haunted house within 10 minutes.

Men and women, a total of six corpses.

"vomit--"

The strong rotting smell of the corpse rushed straight into the nostrils, and Yingzi couldn't help hiding aside and retched.

She was not the only one, many of the employees who followed couldn't accept the pungent smell, and covered their noses with pale faces.

Fortunately, she didn't eat much in the morning, Yingzi just retched for a while and she cheered up a lot. She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and walked to Luanbu's side.

"Stupid Sakura, can you recognize the clothes of these people?"

"Uh...well, this is Snow White, this is Belle, and this is The Little Mermaid."

She turned her gaze to the male aside, "This is Snow White's prince, this is Beast Adam, and this is Prince Alec."

To prince and princess.

Six young men and women.

'Princess Belle' and 'Adam the Beast' were found in the same closet. The deceased's eyes and mouth were still intact, but the two were tightly stitched together.

'Snow White' and 'The Little Mermaid' were hidden in different places of the haunted house, and were covered with white cloth to pretend to be ghosts.

'Snow White' stared round, her face was blue and purple, and she was preliminarily judged to have died of poison. 'The Little Mermaid' was white and swollen all over, and she should have been pressed to death by suffocation in the water.

"It's a couple."

All the props and costumes lost in the amusement park appear in the haunted house. There are many props related to their characters around each female deceased, and the way of death is also related to the experience of this character.

"By the way, idiot Sakurako, how do you know so much about these useless things?"

"It's not useless... These fairy tales are very interesting."

"fairy tales?"

Ranbu looked thoughtfully at the corpse on the ground.

Although some of the corpses had already rotted due to the hot weather, each of the dead was dressed gorgeously and even had exquisite makeup, which was much better than the corpses he had seen before.

Beauty, romance, fairy tales.

This is the common denominator of all corpses presented to him.

Luanbu glanced at the corpse.

No, there is also love.

"Mr. Edogawa, the police have arrived."

"The detective knows."

The policemen seemed to know Ranpo, and the tone of their conversation was full of respect.

"what--!!"

While the police were talking with Ranpo, there was another scream from the carousel not far away.

Luan Bu subconsciously turned his head and looked over, a couple sitting on the merry-go-round suddenly lost consciousness and fell down, the wound on the neck was gurgling with bright red blood.

"Don't look."

Luanbu covered Yingzi's eyes, preventing her from looking over there.

"what happened?"

"Another couple died."

"what?"

The police quickly sealed off the scene, and all the people who appeared near the carousel were monitored and were not allowed to leave the scene. The scene was chaotic for a while.

"Just under the watchful eyes of everyone... how did the murderer do it?"

Luanbu pursed his lips, his expression a little dignified.

There was nothing abnormal about the two dead people before they got on the merry-go-round. In the middle of this round of rotation, the two people suddenly fell off the carousel, and their bodies were even dragged for more than one meter. The floor was also stained. There was a lot of blood.

The corpse still kept the distorted appearance when it fell, and the wooden horses walked side by side, one after the other, and the two people who were holding each other were loose and separated.

The wound on the corpse's neck was the same as that of the "Prince Alec" in the haunted house. It was a hideous wound with deep bone visible, and blood was still gushing out.

"Wait, don't touch it!"

Luanbu blocked the movements of the policemen around him, and slightly leaned forward to get close to the mouth and nose of the corpse.

Bitter almond.

The pupils are dilated and the muscles slack.

Although the wound was deep but slender, the blood that flowed out was dark red and slightly coagulated.

A wound to the neck was not the cause of death.

Luanbu's eyes moved to the water bottle in the female deceased's bag, and he glanced up at the empty sun.

"That bottle of water!"

The chaotic pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly got up and picked up the water bottle and threw it into the open space beside him.

At the moment when the water bottle flew out, there was a violent explosion sound, and wherever the light blue liquid touched, there was a burst of explosion sound, and the red and yellow flames exploded in mid-air.

"Mr. Ranpo!"

The body curled up in time did not suffer any damage from the explosion, and the young man with his eyes slightly open stared seriously at the fragments of the water bottle scattered on the ground.

"The detective is fine."

The policeman next to him suddenly came back to his senses, with an expression of fear for the rest of his life, "Is that... a bomb?"

"No," Luanbu narrowed his eyes, "it's hydrogen cyanide."

"If you don't want more people to be poisoned, quickly disperse the nearby tourists and don't let anyone get close."

"Yes!"

"Mr. Ranpo!"

Seeing Ranbu coming down from the merry-go-round, Yingzi anxiously went up to him, her eyes constantly sweeping over him.

"The detective is all right."

"It scared me to death...how did that bottle of water suddenly explode?"

"That bottle of water has hydrogen cyanide in it."

"Huh? So what?"

"..."

Luanbu lifted Yingzi hard on the head, with a bit of disbelief in his expression.

"Is your mathematics, physics and chemistry already so bad? Are you really an idiot?"

"Hey?" Yingzi hugged her head a little aggrieved, "What's wrong with me..."

"Liquid hydroxic acid or aqueous solution will cause polymerization under alkaline, high temperature, long-term storage, light and radiation exposure, discharge and electrolysis conditions. After the polymerization starts, the heat generated will cause the chain reaction of polymerization, thereby accelerating the polymerization As the reaction proceeds, a large amount of heat energy is released at the same time, causing a violent explosion!"

"Ah, that's it..."

Ranbu glanced at Yingzi with some disgust, and pulled her away from this area.

"In short, wait for the police to deal with it before investigating."

"Ah."

"Go to the haunted house first."

The haunted house has been completely cordoned off by police and a basic investigation has been carried out near the body.

"Mr. Edogawa."

The leading police handed the report to Ranpo.

"The time of death of the six deceased has been investigated."

"'Snow White' and the Prince died in about six to eight hours, 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Prince Alec' died in about four days, and 'Belle' and 'Beast Adam' died in about a week."

A week ago, that's when the playground started losing props.

"The cause of death may require further investigation."

"Um……"

Luanbu walked around the room, then turned his gaze to the person in charge outside the cordon.

"Mr. Ranpo, do you need anything?"

Noticing his gaze, the person in charge hurried over with an ugly expression on his face.

After all, so many corpses were found in the playground at once, and such a thing happened in public. It is impossible for the reporters to let go of this meeting. Such cases will more or less affect the business of the playground.

"It's nothing, just take a look."

Ranbu turned his attention to the pale-faced female employees sitting on the bench beside him.

Female, about ten years old, divorced parents, lived alone, divorced, had a difficult love life, had a child but passed away at a very young age.

Flexible mind, rigorous thinking, vigilant and sensitive personality.

Luanbu glanced at Yingzi, who was standing aside, looking in the direction of the scene and thinking.

...Well, I have the most basic knowledge of chemistry.

The black stiletto high-heeled shoes suddenly came into view, and he paused for a while, then slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Oh~ it's her."
