Explanation of Chapter 464 "Puppet on Strings"

"From..."

"The hands of two people?"

After hearing Shinichi's words, Officer Megure and Takagi Wataru said with horrified expressions. Even the faces of the others were full of confusion and confusion - except for Amano Shoichi, who had his head lowered and his expression was silent, and the surprised expression on his face. May your life be beautiful.

"Kudo, what on earth is going on!"

Officer Megure asked anxiously.

"Officer Megure, actually, I had some conversations with Mr. Amano when I first came here to investigate because of the threatening letter received by Miss Hualien."

Shinichi suddenly mentioned this, then walked to the wooden box where Amano kept the puppets, and took out the string puppet and the puppet's operating board.

Holding the operating board, Shinichi manipulated the puppet with unfamiliar movements, and the puppet hung disobediently in the air and moved around, completely out of Shinichi's control.

Regarding this, everyone was confused looking at Shinichi's actions.

But not long after, Shinichi seemed to find some feeling, and the movements of the puppet began to have a charm.

"At that time, Mr. Amano also asked me to try to control the puppets. At first, I had no idea at all. It was not until later that I finally got a sense of control."

After saying that, Shinichi stopped, looked at everyone and said:

"Mr. Amano once told me that string puppets are different from other puppets and do not obey instructions so easily. This is because there is a long string between the puppet and the puppet. Although this may make people feel a little anxious, it is also It is precisely because of this anxious mood that the puppets will make unexpected actions."

Speaking of this, Shinichi walked up to Amano Shoichi with a puppet and said seriously:

"Just because I thought about this, I wanted to understand - maybe, the first paragraph of the threatening letter was not meant to intimidate Miss Hualian, nor was it meant to intimidate Miss Hualian. Let Miss Hualian be completely obedient, but want to express——

"Although there is a long line between us, you still make me anxious. I want to hit your heart, make you make unexpected moves, and get rid of the shackles in front of you!"

With a serious tone, Shinichi said this while staring at Amano Shoichi who was being held by Takagi Wataru.

In response, Amano Shoichi lowered his head even lower.

Xiaolan and Yuanzi on the side couldn't help but cover their mouths in surprise after hearing this, with a hint of expectation in their eyes——

"This is simply..."

"It's just a love letter!"

Xiaolan and Yuanzi said in surprise, feeling very romantic.

"Wait Kudo!"

Officer Memu covered his head and said in confusion:

"After you said that, the meaning of the first half of this letter completely changed. Then..."

"So, the following paragraph was added by someone later, which makes people think that this letter is a threatening letter!"

Shinichi explained.

"who is it?"

Officer Megure asked hurriedly.

"Anyone who can get this letter before Miss Hualian and have the opportunity to modify the content of the letter..."

Shinichi said, turning his gaze to Shou Meiling and Shou Meimei——

"Of course it's only the people around her!"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

Officer Megure felt overwhelmed by the continuous information and couldn't help but interrupt:

"According to your statement, when this letter was first sent to Miss Hualian, it only contained the first paragraph. Someone saw the letter before Miss Hualian. In order to make the letter look like a threatening letter, So that person added a paragraph at the end of the letter...is that right?"

"That's right."

Shindo nodded.

"That's weird!"

Officer Megure said:

"According to your statement, 'Puppet' can be understood that way because Mr. Amano said such things, so this letter should be sent by Mr. Amano. And Miss Hualian once dated Mr. Amano, so she can understand.' The meaning of "Puppet on a String" can be understood knowing that it is not a threat...

"However, as others who are unaware, even if they only read the first paragraph, they will naturally feel that it is a threatening letter. In this case, why would someone deliberately add this sentence at the end of the letter? That person's What’s the purpose?”

"That's easy to understand."

Shinichi smiled lightly and said:

“Because that person can also understand the meaning of ‘puppet’!”

"What!"

Officer Megure said unexpectedly.

"That's right, Miss Meimei!"

Shinichi looked at Shou Meimei and said bluntly.

Hearing this, Shou Meimei showed a horrified expression and was a little at a loss.

Ms. Misuzu could not help but glare at Shinichi and shouted angrily:

"Do you know what you are talking about! How could Meimei know such a code word of that man!"

"I know very well, Ms. Misuzu."

Shinichi said seriously:

"Because Miss Meimei, like Miss Hualien, also dated Mr. Amano!"

"What did you say!"

Hearing this, not only Meiling, but also everyone else present showed expressions of disbelief.

"Mr. Mingzhi was the first to notice this."

Shinichi continued to explain:

"Before the self-introductions of the contestants began, Mr. Amano performed a puppet show on the stage as a guest. It was a fairy tale with profound meaning. It was about a beautiful girl who, in order to pursue a more beautiful self, finally... Lost myself in the pursuit of beauty.”

In response, Officer Memu couldn't help but nodded and thought:

"Well...it's really meaningful to perform such a story at the beauty pageant..."

As he spoke, Officer Megure's eyes couldn't help but look at Amano Shoichi, who kept his head lowered and had no intention of defending himself.

And Shinichi continued:

"Mr. Amano once explained to me: Once women start to become obsessed with beauty, they can't stop. Anyone who can compete on such a large stage knows the horror of it. However, as long as you realize the true happiness , you can escape from this attachment.”

"True happiness..."

Hearing this, Officer Memu couldn't help but think.

"That's right. I think this is what was mentioned in the letter, 'I will shoot you through the heart.' It does not mean actually piercing the heart of the body with a knife or dagger, but I want to use such a story to impress the other party. Mr. Amano also said when Miss Hualian disappeared that he wanted Miss Hualian to see the show. "

Shinichi couldn't help but wonder.

"Um……"

Officer Memu couldn't help but nodded, and then suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but ask:

"Wait a minute, but what does this have to do with Miss Meimei dating Mr. Amano?"

"Of course."

Shinichi nodded seriously and explained:

"Because the prototype of the girl in the story is actually Miss Meimei!"

"Hey? Why?"

Officer Megure asked even more puzzled.

"Because the ending is weird."

Shinichi stated what Gao Yuan mentioned:

"Since it is a story that wants to impress Miss Hualien, and what the girl experienced earlier in the story is very similar to Miss Hualian's experience, then why in the final ending does the girl use the words 'Only you can't see your own beauty' ', what about ending with such a strange thing?

"After all, Miss Hualian is not a person who cannot recognize her own beauty, right? She can not only recognize her own beauty, but also the beauty of others, and will do whatever it takes to defeat those who may surpass her. "

As he said this, Shinichi couldn't help but look at Xiaolan aside, but quickly turned his gaze back and continued:

"Because of such a strange ending, Mr. Mingzhi and I did some research, and found that there is a person whose experience is more consistent with the protagonist of the story than Miss Hualien!"
