Chapter 1147: The Shooting in the Theater
July 13, Saturday night, Yokohama Red Cross Hospital, Lan's ward, Lan's dream, Broadway, inside the Phantom Theater, on the stands.
The incident outside the theater did not affect the performance of the musical. Unlike the tense atmosphere outside, the high shed was full of people singing and dancing here, but for Lan, the actors all spoke English, which was hard to understand. Fortunately, Xizi I often translate with Kudo Shinichi, and I finally understand the general idea.
The handsome male protagonist is an heir to an earl with a hereditary title but no money. After a high-class party, he met four beautiful women on the way back. The four of them had a good impression of the handsome male protagonist. The hero came out from the party and knew that his identity was extraordinary, so he approached him for a chat. After learning the identity of the hero, he wanted to marry him and join the upper class.
Because the four women are familiar with each other, they always win or lose in open and secret battles. One of the women secretly bought a priceless golden apple gemstone necklace and lent it to the male protagonist, telling the male protagonist that the other three women were uneasy. Good intentions, if you don't believe me, just try the necklace and you will know.
Hearing that the male protagonist tried the other three women with a necklace, he secretly told them that he had such a necklace. As a result, the fight between the three women immediately escalated to the point of life and death. When an old friend is removed, male
The protagonist stands up and sternly accuses the four of them of their injustice, and at the same time declares himself to be the Archangel Michael.
At this time, smoke rose from the stage, and the hero was about to transform into Michael.
You Xizi asked Lan: "How is it, is it unexpected?"
"Hmm." Lan laughed, "It's very interesting."
Kudo Shinichi yawned, "I don't know what the screenwriter thinks about turning a good modern drama into a fantasy drama."
You Xizi raised her triangular eyes, "You brat who doesn't know how to appreciate."
Lan said: "That is to say, I feel very good."
Kudo Shinichi said angrily: "Too boring."
At this time, a red light appeared in the mist, between the stage and the auditorium on the second floor on the right with a screen, and then "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" several voices sounded.
While the audience was wondering, they found that the male protagonist who had transformed into Michael flew up, his posture was very abnormal, and there was blood on his chest, and he realized for a moment that he had been shot to death.
The audience screamed, Kudo Shinichi rushed to the auditorium with a screen on the second floor on the right, and at this moment, a huge explosion sounded.
I don't know who yelled that there is a bomb first, and the theater suddenly became a mess. The audience screamed in horror and rushed out, making Kudo Shinichi, who wanted to look back for Lan and Yukiko, suddenly lost their position, and was very anxious. Shouting was of no avail, he was still surrounded by the outward crowd, and rushed outward involuntarily, getting farther and farther away from his original seat.
Soon after, Kudo Shinichi followed the crowd to the outside of the theater, and finally got rid of the crowd, but he wanted to enter the theater again but couldn't get in. When he was in a hurry, he found that Yukiko and Ran also came out of the crowd, and he was relieved for a while .
"Xinyi, are you okay?" Lan asked.
"I'm fine." Kudo Shinichi asked, "How about you?"
"Stinky boy," Yukiko grabbed Kudo Shinichi's ear, "My words don't work, do they?"
"It hurts..." Kudo Shinichi yelled, "Let go quickly."
At this time, a bald man came over and asked in Japanese, "Hey, isn't this Yukiko?"
After seeing it, You Xizi was a little surprised, "Ah, Radixiu Police Department!"
Radixiu Police Department smiled and asked, "Who are you?"
"Ah?" Yukiko reacted, blushing and quickly let go of Kudo Shinichi's ears, "This is my son Shinichi." Then he changed the subject, "Why are you here?"
Radixiu Police Department looked at the scene of the explosion on the road,
"I will lead a team to replace the frightened police officers, investigate and collect evidence over there, and come over to check if there is something wrong here just now."
"So that's how it is." Yukiko said.
Kudo Shinichi asked, "What happened over there just now?"
Radixiu Police Department sighed, "A gangster who thought he was dead took out a high-powered grenade. If it wasn't for that guy who sacrificed his life to save him, the dozen or so people within five meters would probably not have survived." Then he said, "Let's not talk about this, I heard that there were gunshots and explosions inside..."
"Yes, but I don't know the details." Yukiko said, "The scene just now was too chaotic."
Kudo Shinichi said: "Someone sent a threatening letter in advance. This should be a premeditated incident."
"Damn it," Radish said angrily, "it's all coming together."
At this time, a police officer came to report in English. Those who entered the theater through the window found no signs of explosion inside. For the time being, only one victim was found. The cause of death should be a gunshot to the left chest.
"Ah, I see." Kudo Shinichi said, "The prisoner must have prepared a recording of the explosion, so that he can escape in the chaos and then have time to destroy the evidence."
Radixiu Police Department said: "Well, it makes sense."
At this time, the crowd gradually subsided, and the Radixiu Police Department checked the situation with the police officers who helped evacuate the crowd, and learned that there were only some minor injuries and no serious injuries, but some women said they were harassed, but they didn't know it was who.
Afterwards, the Radish Police Department ordered some subordinates to follow him into the Phantom Theater, and Kudo Shinichi stepped forward and asked, "Well, can you let me see how you handle the case, Radish Police Department?"
"Shinichi!" Yukiko shouted dissatisfied.
"Okay, come on if you want to see it," said the Ladish Police Department, "but don't touch anything."
"I know." Kudo Shinichi said happily, "Thank you."
Yukiko said to Radixiu Police Department: "That's really troublesome for you."
Radixiu Police Department said with a smile: "Maybe I need your help, the Baroness of the Night."
"That's just a joke." You Xizi smiled, "But if you can help me, I will definitely help you."...
Theater scene.
The stands were intact, and the forensic personnel found a tape recorder in the stands, which contained the sound of an explosion and a cry of a bomb, which confirmed that the explosion in the theater was fake.
In the auditorium with a screen on the right side of the second floor, forensic personnel found a bullet casing, a table of refreshments, most of which were missing, most of the tea was left in the pot, and half a cup of tea was on the table.
The manager confirmed that a man called in the afternoon to order refreshments in the auditorium, and someone came to pay the bill in cash in the evening, but there were so many people at that time that the person who collected the money didn't pay attention, but because the amount was not bad at all, it must be so. one person.
There is a large vertical mirror on the stage, and a pistol with a silencer. The body of the actor has been put down. He was shot in the left chest with a ballistic angle of about 40 degrees. The blood in the palm of the right hand was blurred.
Radixiu Police Department looked at the body, and then asked Yukiko in Japanese: "What do you think of this matter?"
"When the incident happened, it was the moment when the smoke rose from the stage, and the hero who turned into an angel rose into the air from behind the big mirror on the stage," Yukiko said. "The prisoner was the moment he came out from behind the mirror. The shot was fired from the building, and then used the sound of the explosion to create chaos and escape from the theater."
"No," Kudo Shinichi said, "the prisoner did not escape from the theater."
"Oh, why do you say that?" asked the Radish Police Department.
"Because the pistol is still here," Kudo Shinichi said, "If the prisoner could leave the theater, he would definitely go with the pistol instead of leaving the pistol on the stage."
"It makes sense," Yukiko said, "That is to say, the prisoner is actually someone who works in the theater."
Lan asked, "However, how did the criminals aim at the smoke at that time?"
"Simple." You Xizi smiled, "Since you are a theater staff, you must have seen the rehearsal, and you must know the speed of the angel's ascent in advance. There is a screen blocking the place where the prisoner is sitting. The prisoner can use the frame of the large mirror on the stage and other The reference object is the scale, first aim the gun at the predetermined position, then when the time is up, turn on the laser sight and shoot."
"No, we only saw someone aiming with a laser. We are not sure whether it is from the seat on the second floor to the stage, or from the stage to the seat on the second floor." Kudo Shinichi said, "That seat is blocked by a screen, so I can't see it." Is there anyone inside? Although we found the bullet casings, they may have been thrown there beforehand, so the culprits may also be the four actresses on the stage."
"How is this possible?" Lan was surprised. "The person who reserved the seat was a man, and the refreshments have been moved, and why would a shot fired on the stage have a trajectory at a forty-degree angle?"
"I haven't thought about the ballistic at a forty-degree angle." Kudo Shinichi said, "But it's not difficult for a female voice to pretend to be a male voice, and the refreshments are just an illusion created by the prisoners. The prisoners can arrange the refreshments before the performance. In this way, and then go to the stage to perform, this also creates the illusion that someone has been having tea there." Then he added, "I think that the prisoner used the fake bomb because he didn't want people to check it after the incident. The shell, because at that time, the shell actually had no temperature."
"Uh," the Radixiu police department blinked and asked Yukiko Xiaosheng, "He rushed over as soon as he heard the gunshot?"
"Yes." You Xizi smiled bitterly, "This child is very curious."
The Radixiu Police Department whispered: "You should let him go back to Japan as soon as possible, he is not suitable to stay in the United States."
Seeing the two whispering, Kudo Shin asked them suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing." You Xizi said with a dry smile.
At this time, a forensic officer reported that a gunpowder smoke reaction was found in the basement of the seat on the second floor. Looking at the distribution direction, the shot was directed at the stage.
You Xizi smiled and said, "It seems that what I said is correct."
Kudo Shinichi said: "This will not be confirmed until the results of the inspection on the stage come out."
At this time, the four actresses were brought over, and the Radixiu Police Department asked them to stand according to the situation during the performance. One stood one step away from the left side of the mirror, the other knelt on one knee and two steps away from the right side of the mirror. One kneels three steps away from the middle of the mirror, and the other lies half a step away from the mirror.
Then, the Radisso Police Department asked them if they saw anything when the incident happened, but they all said that it was foggy and saw nothing except the red light.
At this time, Kudo Shinichi found that there was a fist-wide gap between the large mirror on the stage and the height of the mirror seemed to be shorter than the hero's height, so he asked about it and found that it was indeed the case.
Kudo Shinichi asked the manager in English if there is any Naraku for the stage here. After learning that there is, he clapped his hands and laughed, "I see, I understand."
Lan understood this sentence, so Lan asked in Japanese: "Xinyi, what do you understand?"
Kudo Shinichi said in Japanese: "The height of the deceased is higher than that of the mirror, and because he can't squat with wings on his back, so even if he hides behind the mirror, his head will be exposed, so he can only use Naraku to go on stage. The murderer had a shooting angle, that is, when the dead rose up from the Naraku, and the murderer could only be Miss Rose who was the closest to the mirror at that time. She stretched her hand through the gap under the mirror, and then shot the dead. "...
