"This is indeed a problem." Akashi Seijuro didn't care about being interrupted and said in agreement.
Why was Eizo Domoto so sure that when he hid, others would think he had an accident?
What did he do to make others think this way?
"The most commonly used trick in magic performances is blindfolding, or... a double." Shuji Tsushima stood up from the space under the seat and walked out, and said casually.
"An identical double, at least if you can't let anyone see any flaws...a dummy?" Akashi Seijuro guessed.
If the dummy is to be exactly the same as Eizo Domoto himself, it must be customized in advance.
That is to say...
President Domoto has indeed been preparing for a long time.
"It is said that President Domoto died in the palm of the goddess statue. Let's go and take a look." Tsushima Shuji suggested.
In front of the police outside, the cable car was started.
The policeman outside saw it and pretended not to have seen it.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation.
"Consultant Tsushima started the cable car with three people..."
"I'm about to pass through the Tunnel of the Goddess Statue..."
While watching the speed of the cable car, he spoke into the intercom.
"Copy that." came a reply from the other side.
…
The cable car came to the tunnel inside the Goddess Statue.
The tunnel is filled with Arhat statues.
"Five hundred Arhat statues... It seems that the president of Domoto Council really wants to make a big news." Atobe Keigo looked at the Arhat statues below and shook his head.
It's a pity that the fake big news didn't come out, but the real big news did.
The price is lives.
The cable car slowly drove out of the tunnel and came to the back of the Statue of the Goddess.
Everyone looked towards the palm of the goddess statue.
I saw many people gathered there, including the police and the first group of people taking the cable car.
In the palm of the goddess statue, there is a figure half lying down.
The area where the dagger was stuck in the chest was stained red with blood, which was particularly obvious.
It turned out to be Eizo Domoto, who had been killed.
"If you hide the dummy in that position in advance, you won't be able to see it without taking the cable car, because the road below is currently closed to traffic. This is indeed in line with the result that President Domoto wants, which is to make everyone think it is the goddess statue.
Cursing people to kill people, and finally jumping out to tell everyone that the curse does not exist, not only solves the problem of the curse, but also uses reporters..." Akashi Seijuro retracted his gaze from looking at Domoto Eizo's body and analyzed it.
"What is lying there now must be a real corpse. If according to our guess, there should be a dummy, the first thing the murderer did after killing President Domoto should be to dispose of the dummy."
Atobe Keigo said this.
"Is there any place nearby where the dummies can be disposed of? For example...an incinerator or something?" Akashi Seijuro looked around.
"Isn't there smoke coming out over there?" Shuji Tsushima pointed in one direction.
"Want to go take a look?" Atobe Keigo asked.
"I can do both, but Atobe-senpai and Akashi-senpai are becoming more and more detective-like." Shuji Tsushima smiled.
The insight skills developed by playing basketball and tennis can be used in any field.
"Whatever I do, I am the most gorgeous." Atobe Keigo touched the mole with one hand and curled his lips confidently.
"After getting to know you Tsushima, I found that reasoning is also very interesting." Akashi Seijuro said in a gentle tone.
The man with black hair and red eyes remained silent during their reasoning and communication, and his presence was very weak, quietly acting as a shadow.
"What's interesting is the process of discovering the truth, and the satisfaction of knowing the correct answer." The black-haired boy with wild eyes smiled and lowered his eyes.
But these are meaningless to him.
Everything is too simple and the fun is lost.
The unknown is the most interesting.
Although the level of interest is also very limited.
Shuji Tsushima can never feel the feeling of satisfaction, there is only emptiness and nothingness surrounding him.
Even if he had everything people dreamed of, he would never be satisfied.
You can understand other people's desires for those things, but you can never be the same as others.
"That's true." Akashi Seijuro agreed.
The feeling of peeling off the cocoon and finding out the truth bit by bit can indeed bring people a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
The cable car has arrived at the site.
The four people walked out of the cable car and walked in the direction of the smoke.
He stopped in front of an incinerator.
"Leave this kind of matter to me." Sebastian pulled his gloves and stood up and said proactively.
How is it possible for the young master to turn over such a thing?
He opened the incinerator and pulled out a half-burnt dummy.
It is exactly what Domoto Eizo looks like.
Even the clothes are exactly the same as what Eizo Domoto is wearing today.
"As Master Xiuzhi said, the other party used a dummy as a blindfold." Sebastian said with a smile.
Never mention the analysis of Atobe Keigo and Akashi Seijuro.
The two of them didn't pay attention, but showed a relaxed expression as if their guess had been confirmed.
"The murderer must be President Domoto's secretary," Akashi Seijuro judged.
The fact that the other party took the cable car for the second time can already explain the problem.
"Inform the police." Tsujima Shuji looked at the half-burned dummy that gave off an unpleasant smell and said to Sebastian.
Sebastian will definitely be able to notify the Henggou police officer who led the team this time, but if he can't...
The person who can survive till now cannot be such a waste.
"Okay." Sebastian nodded, took out his cell phone, and called the officer leading the team, Henggou.
"Master Xiuzhi already knows who the murderer is, and has also found the props used by the murderer. Please come to the incinerator..." Before Officer Henggou could speak, Sebastian spoke elegantly and politely with a smile.
I know, and then I took my phone away.
"What? Consultant Tsushima has found the murderer's props? I'll be there right away," Officer Henggou said loudly.
"Okay." Sebastian kept an elegant smile, kept his ears away from his phone, and replied calmly.
Then hung up the phone.
"Officer Henggou will be here soon." He followed Tsushima Shuji and the others with a smile on his face.
"We heard it." Atobe Keigo replied.
The police officer opposite had such a loud voice. Their five senses are more sensitive than ordinary people, so it was impossible not to hear him.
So when Officer Henggou arrived with a group of people, what he saw was a team of three large taxpayers, and a half-burnt dummy at their feet, but he could still see the dummy that was exactly the same as the body of Eizo Domoto.
"Consultant Tsushima, who is the murderer?" Officer Henggou ignored the other two large taxpayers and chose to ask Shuji Tsushima, a police insider who had a closer relationship.
Mainly, I really don’t know how to communicate with big taxpayers.
What if I accidentally say the wrong thing and are resented by them?
