Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

In the rest area of ​​the illusion theatre troupe, Gao Cheng followed Ohara into the rest room of the Andes, accompanied by several police officers. The room can also be used as a dressing room, but it is more private. Changing clothes behind the stage saves time.

The first thing Gao Cheng noticed was the laptop that the Andes had used before.

"Does Mr. Andes take the computer with him every time he performs?"

"Yes, teachers often need to make schedules, and sometimes change the performance plan temporarily, especially in the design of performance effects, each time they use a computer to simulate themselves." Ohara explained.

"So... can I take a look?"

"It should be possible, but Teacher Andes usually doesn't allow us to touch..."

"I need to find the truth about the murder of Andes."

Gao Cheng tried to turn on the computer, but unexpectedly he didn't need to enter a password, and the computer desktop was still working.

That's right, Andes just closed the computer at the time, and the process didn't end.

The first thing that catches the eye is a picture browser. Several consecutive pictures were taken by the troupe performing in various places, and there were also pictures of the troupe's hard rehearsal behind the scenes. One of the photos from a long time ago was rather shabby. When he became famous.

"Mr. Ohara," Gao Cheng asked as he checked, "Are these pictures of all the members?"

Ohara took a closer look and explained: "I have only been here for a few months. It seems that many people have resigned before... The recent photo of us when we arrived in Tokyo is all of us now."

Gao Cheng asked unexpectedly: "Is anyone else resigning?"

"Yes, the requirements for illusion are stricter than magic performances. A slight error in the light will cause the performance to fail. It is not easy to get to this stage. The teacher has only become famous in recent months."

Ohara sighed with emotion, and was also very regretful. After all, he was only following a popular performance team, but the core of the team was suddenly killed.

"The Andes teacher usually doesn't offend people very much, even if there is some conflict with his colleagues, but it will not go to the stage of murder...Kito Detective, have you really not seen the murderer?"

"Indeed..."

Gao Cheng believes that he is relieved, anyway, there will be at least a lot less resistance in handling the case.

It was a storm waiting for him outside. With so many spectators at the scene, the police could not block the news at all. I don't know what it will be.

Settling down, Gao Cheng continued to check the computer and switched to the next process. It was a control interface, which seemed to be the exclusive software for the illusion show. There were detailed steps for the performance settings and the operation status of the weird devices on the stage. It was temporarily in automatic mode. Deadlock mode.

This is the main control port. It depends on the situation that Andes is temporarily adjusting, because the role of the lucky audience is replaced by him here. Even the other members are quite surprised. After all, he has not gone through the rehearsal, and the chance of an accident is very high. .

"Has anyone been here during the show?" Gao Cheng asked carefully.

He is still wondering why the computer does not have a password lock...

"No," Ohara shook his head. "Everyone was in the control room on the other side. I heard you calling from Detective Kioto. Is there any problem?"

"Why is there no one in the locker room?"

"These are the requirements of the Andes teacher. Everyone must observe the performance to avoid accidents..."

"Really?" Gao Cheng thought about the layout of the room behind the stage.

The dressing room is just behind the stage, and the control room is on the second floor opposite the stage. The lounge is in the middle aisle. It takes a few minutes to get to the backstage from the aisles on both sides.

If the prisoner is really in the troupe, he will probably hide in the rest area, and finally pretend to be behind the crowd and rush to the scene of the murder. Unfortunately, he doesn't even know who the last one was, and other people probably don't remember.

But how did this Andes do it? The various arrangements are like creating opportunities for the murderer. The audience is affected by illusion, and the staff needs to observe the performance at any time. Even he stayed on the stage because of the relationship between the table and the book. Two minutes...

Gao Cheng sighed secretly.

Qiqitaiben made him the most suspicious person, but he couldn't blame the Andes, so he could only find out the truth as soon as possible, help him clear his grievances, and also give an account to the murdered Andes.

In the dressing room of the stage, the Andean body has been taken away by the police. Mumu is still trying to find the staff for questioning, but all the testimony is still quite detrimental to Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng was the last person to be alone with the victim, and was the first one. When the body was found, it seemed that only Gao Cheng had a chance to kill.

"Kito, already asked, all the staff were indeed in the control room at that time, and everyone had an alibi..."

I hesitated to find the lounge. At this time, after inspecting the Andean computer, the forensic staff replaced Gao Cheng and reported in a hurry: "Police, there are network records of the victim in the computer, as well as fax operation records. The victim seems to be a "prophet" I..."

"What?" Mumu asked in shock, "Prophet?"

"The hard disk saves the information of the prisoners in the previous 4 cases, as well as the records of contact with different identities..."

"The teacher is actually the prophet?!"

The staff is completely puzzled.

"But how is this possible? If the teacher is a prophet, would he predict that he would be killed?"

"impossible……"

Gao Cheng's gaze also shrank slightly, and he silently looked at the data files and network records called out by the forensic personnel.

He did doubt the Andes at first, but would any fool sacrifice himself to fulfill the prophecy?

There must be something wrong...

Gao Cheng closed his eyes, and since Andes invited himself to watch the show, he felt that there was still a hand controlling everything in the dark.

As his thinking unfolded, Gao Cheng recalled the whole thing with all his heart, as if he was separated from the whole world, countless pictures and sounds flashed through his mind quickly...

At the beginning of the performance, he came on stage, and after a while, Andes came on stage... Later when the body was found, Andes also had a lot of bleeding, not like it was only a minute or two...

There is also the light on the stage, which is too strong. If not for his superb swordsmanship, could he really complete the performance smoothly?

The media didn't report much about his swordsmanship, and Andes was too big.

"Well, does the illusion show still use hypnosis?" Mumu looked at the computer data, and said with a fat face. "So, Mr. Andes probably chose Jojito to assist in the performance in order to fulfill his prediction. I wanted to use the illusion technique to hypnotize Gao Cheng, but I did not expect that I was seriously injured and died..."

Gao Cheng sweats slightly on his forehead: "Police officer, I am not acting on TV. I have not been hypnotized at all. The installation here is at best to let the audience experience virtual images, combined with stage performances and special lighting effects."

"But in this case..."

"The murderer was someone else, and it was a staff member of the theater. Mr. Andes was also used unknowingly."

Gao Cheng has already used the system to enter the thinking space for one minute. Even though there are many people in this world who have the ability to remember moments, they cannot fully grasp all the information like him, and gather together massive information clues like cheating. The overlooked places have also surfaced one by one.

"Used?" Mumu said in a daze, "But at the time, there were only you and Mr. Andes on the stage. Even if a certain staff member killed Mr. Andes, it took a minute or two to kill and then run back to the control room. It was too late. If you accidentally splattered blood, it will be troublesome..."

"Yes," a staff member explained. "When the Jiroto Detective contacted the control room in the locker room, everyone was indeed there, and there was no one on the way to the locker room..."

"Mr. Officer asked us, of course, no one hid in the lounge, and then waited for us to follow up when we passed."

"Sure enough, is the murderer someone outside?"

"It's impossible. We didn't see anyone going to the backstage at the time. If someone passed by, it would be clear from the control room..."

"Could someone else come in?"

"It's impossible. Except for the staff, everyone else needs that ticket to enter the venue. There is nothing wrong with the total number of people..."

A group of staff members quarreled themselves, seeing Ohara's face darkened, and had to interrupt: "Enough, what is the quarrel? Since Detective Kioto said so, he must have his reason!"

"But he is suspicious of us!"

The staff looked dissatisfied and looked at Gao Cheng with strange eyes.

"After all, isn't he also a suspect? Maybe he came backstage and killed the teacher in a sneak attack..."

"In fact, Mr. Andes," Gao Cheng said calmly, "has been killed before he took the stage."

"Huh?" The lounge suddenly fell silent.

"Although I was not hypnotized~www.NovelMTL.com~, I was deceived..."

Gao Cheng glanced around and continued: "Yes, I was deceived by the light and the disguise...The one who was with me on the stage was not Mr. Andes at all, but the murderer who replaced Mr. Andes after killing Mr. Andes!"

Mumu who almost thought Gao Cheng was stupid suddenly opened his eyes: "It is the murderer who is on the stage? This...what is going on?!"

"It's just the time difference, the time difference," Gao Cheng reasoned in detail in front of the crowd surrounding him, "If the murder occurred within a minute or two before I found the corpse, the murderer would indeed not return to the control room, and he might even be hit by the head. On, but...

"What if the murderer did not go backstage, disguised as Mr. Andes, and left the scene, but took off his clothes in the lounge and hurried back to the control room? I found the corpse to contact you, and it would take another minute or two, if it was a member of the theater troupe. , It may not be impossible..."

The members of the illusion group swallowed and looked at each other, distrusting each other.

"Then, what exactly is the murderer..."
