Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 219 Venus in the Water

Behind the stage, Lin Yaren led everyone to visit the working area.

"This is the control room. The lighting, music, and various mechanical controls of the performance are all operated here..."

"Then here is an iron cabinet for the staff to store things..."

Lin Yaren explained along the way: "This one is a dressing room. Daze and the performance staff will make up and change clothes here. At the end of the front corridor is the waiting room for the staff to wait for their appearance. There is also a room leading to the stage. Go to the water tank of the big clam shell..."

"Oh?" Gao Cheng just glanced casually.

In fact, the backstage is pretty much the same. If you understand it too clearly, the performance in the upcoming show will be meaningless.

"This is our foreman, Mr. Murakawa," Lin Yaren introduced a middle-aged man with a flat head, "he has been in this business for 20 years."

"Hello," Murakawa said with a strong physique, wearing a hooded sweater, looking a bit dull, and nodded flatly, "I'm sorry, the performance is about to start, and I have to check the stage equipment, so I will take my leave first."

"oh oh."

Gao Cheng watched as Murakawa entered the room at the end of the corridor, turned to Lin Yaren and said, "I think I'd better go back to the auditorium first."

In the performance hall, the circular staircase was quickly filled with people, and Gao Cheng and Xiao Ai finally found a seat near the middle.

At this time, the lights are turned off, only the aquarium as the stage is illuminated, the clam shells are opened in the beautiful underwater landscape, and a beautiful figure in a white dress floats with the bubbles, just like Venus in Roman mythology Really reappeared.

"What a nice view!"

Between the open skirt of Venus, the slender legs swung up slightly, leading the fish to swim gracefully in the water, and the audience was dumbfounded.

But the woman has golden hair, obviously not Miss Osawa before.

"Strange, where's Miss Osawa?" Gao Cheng asked doubtfully.

"Ms. Osawa will not appear until later, and now the second Ms. Yuriko Venus Minegishi is performing," Conan said with a thorough understanding, "Look, she controls the fish school through the spice bag in her hand. Oh……"

Gao Cheng pouted, he really shouldn't be watching the performance with this guy, the rare atmosphere was ruined.

"Crack." As the Golden Lady's performance ended, the lights dimmed again. After waiting for a while, several lights hit the center of the stage at the same time, and the clam shells opened for the second time with a star-like lighting effect.

The audience watched curiously as a figure with fiery red hair emerged, but it was not as elegant as the previous Venus. The lights were shining and the eyes were wide open, and the head fluttered like water plants.

The scene paused, and the screams suddenly boiled up.

"Miss Daze?!" Gao Cheng stood up abruptly, and looked closely at Daze, who was floating motionless in the water tank like a corpse, "How could it be?"

...

"The name of the deceased is Michiko Osawa. He is 25 years old. The cause of death is drowning..."

Next to the water tank in the lounge, the forensic personnel laid the body of Michiko Osawa flat to collect evidence.

"Miss Osawa is an actor in the underwater performance of this aquarium," Takagi reported to Police Officer Megure, "and she is also the only daughter of the president of Osawa Construction Company. Initially Osawa Construction Company also participated in the construction of the aquarium. Now it will start Contact Operations..."

Gao Cheng stood beside him, silently glanced at Conan, put his hands in his pockets and walked to the side of the water tank.

It seems that something happened to Osawa when he was preparing the water tank, and even the bottom of the tank was covered with a piece of foundation.

It was obviously pretty good beforehand, and I didn't see Michiko Osawa having too many conflicts with other people. At most, she was a bit of a young lady's temper, so she wouldn't be killed anyway.

Was it murder or an accident?

"Did Miss Osawa drown in this water tank?" Gao Cheng asked Lin Yaren, "Did the staff make a mistake?"

"It can't be wrong, I have been operating in the control room with the staff."

Lin Yaren led everyone into the control room: "After the actors are ready in the water tank, the signal light here will be on, and we will start injecting water into it after confirmation.

When the water is filled to 80% full, it will automatically stop, and there is also an emergency button in the water tank to control the water stop and drain. "

"Well," Mu Mu pondered, "If there is no problem with the machine, it is necessary to investigate further, and start testing it immediately."

"Yes."

The staff immediately began to prepare diving equipment and check it through actual operation.

Gao Cheng took the opportunity to interrogate Mu Mu together.

Although they haven't started to check the control process of the water tank, Megure and Uncle Mori have already begun to believe that Osawa's drowning was an accident.

Because Daze had a knee patch on his knee, and he had knee pain on the patch before, it is very likely that he drowned in the water tank because of his knee pain.

"There are three points," Conan returned to the water tank in deep thought. Seeing Gao Cheng who was also investigating, he raised up three fingers, "First, there is only one place on the bottom of the water tank where the foundation was rubbed on Miss Osawa's face. Second, Miss Osawa has a patch on her leg because of knee pain, and third, the scattered cosmetics in the dressing room and the plastic paper left after the patch is applied...

"It seems that Ms. Osawa suddenly had a knee pain in the dressing room and put on a patch, and then hurried to the water tank. She struggled with the pain and accidentally drowned when filling the water... But no matter how painful it is, it doesn't even take time to press the emergency button. No, and..."

Conan's eyes glowed and he said: "Miss Osawa has always been very professional, and she also cares about the audience's eyes. It's really strange to play with a patch on."

Gao Cheng's face collapsed, and he suddenly understood Uncle Mao Li's mood.

Conan is really flattering every time he farts, and he likes to run around the murder scene like a brat...

"Huh?" Uncle Maori walked out of the control room with a straight face, and picked up Conan from behind who still needed to reason and analyze, "What are you doing here, you brat?!"

Gao Cheng gloated and watched Conan being taken away.

"How is it?" Hui Yuan stood aside and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"It's just like what he said. Someone in this incident deliberately wanted to make us think it was an accident." Gao Cheng's expression became serious, "I already know who the murderer is."

Huiyuan was quite surprised: "So fast?"

"Then this guy is much faster than me." Gao Cheng looked at Conan at the door of the control room, and said unhappily, "After the machine is checked, I guess it's time to start reasoning. Really, it's hard to come to the show , I happened to meet them, I will give them a call before I see where to play next time."

"Work hard and make money before going somewhere else next time."

"..."

In the dressing room, Gaocheng alone called the foreman Murakawa together.

"Well," Murakawa looked at Gao Cheng hesitantly, "what can I do for you? The police officer and the others have already started the experiment..."

"You were the one who killed Ms. Osawa, Mr. Murakawa?" Gao Cheng asked straight to the point.

"Ah?" Murakawa was stunned for a moment, and laughed dryly, "What are you talking about? Even Mr. Mori and the police officer said it was an accident..."

Gao Cheng didn't speak, just looked at Murakawa quietly, and gradually Murakawa couldn't laugh, and clenched his fists tightly and said, "When Osawa drowned, I was in the control room, how could I kill her? You know that too. Bar?"

"Of course I know, but I also know that you went to the toilet when Ms. Minegishi was performing."

Gao Cheng said flatly: "That's enough time for you to commit the crime. I think you should come here first to stun Miss Osawa who is still putting on makeup, put a patch on her, and then carry her to the water tank. The piece of foundation at the bottom of the water tank is the proof that Miss Osawa is lying there, and after the water injection starts, it will not be long before Osawa will drown."

Murakawa's complexion changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth: "What about the evidence? What you said is all speculation, and you don't even have any evidence to say that I am the murderer..."

"I just want to ask you, Mr. Murakawa," Gao Cheng didn't respond, but asked instead, "Can killing people be so casual? Is it really necessary to kill Ms. Osawa?"

Even in the dream battlefield, it was difficult for him to kill. The shadow after the murder even affected the reality. He really didn't know how the murderer who had so many incidents could be so calm for the first time.

"That woman," Murakawa gritted his teeth and lowered his head with trembling face, "Two years ago, my wife and child died after being hit by a car. She was the one who caused the accident. When her father came here, I kissed her." Hearing the conversation between their father and daughter, she smiled as if she was telling a story... That woman didn't think she had committed a huge crime at all, and it was only natural that she would die tragically this time!"

Murakawa said taking a deep breath, looked at Gao Chengdao: "This is probably retribution, that's why I accidentally drowned..."

"What about you?" Gao Cheng interrupted, "Don't you feel any guilt? How is that different from her?"

"I……"

"If you want to talk about evidence," Conan appeared at the door, "Mr. Murakawa already knows it?"

"What?" Murakawa froze.

"Brother Kido noticed just now, Uncle, you washed your coat and hung it next to the locker. There are still faint marks of lipstick on it. In fact, Uncle's neck is also stained with lipstick." Conan raised his face Pretending to be cute, she said, "That must be sister Osawa's lipstick, right, brother Kido?"

"Uh, yeah."

Gao Cheng frowned.

Brat, if you don't make a sound, no one will treat you as a dumb...
