Ming Ke: When the villain accidentally mixes into the protagonist group

Kudo Yusaku and Megure Juzo left the hospital and headed to the giant stage of the fireworks display.

On the way, Megure Thirteen couldn't help but ask: "Yusaku, do you see anything from those photos?"

Yusaku did not answer Officer Megure's question, but said: "Thirteen, the exact time of Miyamoto Mito's death was about an hour after the performance, right?"

Mumu Shisan nodded, "This is what the forensic doctor has confirmed so far, and judging from the blood stains and body spots at the scene, the body has not been moved. That should be the scene of the first crime. Judging from the body temperature and the body spots, it can The approximate time of death is determined based on what the witnesses saw, and that’s basically it.”

Yusaku looked at the map, "It will take at least an hour to drive from the stage of the fireworks display to the cabin where the body is located."

Mumu Shisan took out a pen and pointed out a few road sections on the map, "It may take longer. Due to the float performance yesterday, these road sections were blocked one after another before the sun went down. Plus the amount of people at that time Many, the number of people slowly decreased until the second half of the fireworks display. That is, when you were sent to the hospital, these road sections were gradually unblocked. "

Yuzuo looked at the map and fell into deep thought. The deceased should have driven to a cabin in the woods thirty kilometers away after the performance. He was killed as soon as he arrived at the cabin, so an acquaintance must have invited the deceased there.

If a stranger appears there, they usually won't turn their backs to each other. They should be acquaintances, or at least people they can trust. Then the suspects should be her colleagues.

Megure Thirteen looked at Yusaku, who still had a bandage on his head, with worry on his face, "But by the way, how is your head?"

"It's just a skin injury." Yusaku didn't care at all.

"I arranged for people to investigate the alley last night. I was afraid that the investigation would leave clues at night. I also arranged for people to investigate this morning, but nothing suspicious was found." Mumu Shisan thought for a moment, very uncertain. Said, "Yusaku, did you hallucinate the moment you were beaten?"

Kudo Yusaku was slightly stunned when he heard Megure Jusan's words, "Hallucination?"

"Yes, you see unreal things as real things. Of course, I don't doubt your observation ability, but things are strange. There are no cameras in that alley, but the flow of people is not small. Except for what you said you saw Outside the scene where the knife was wielded, there was no second witness, and even the fact that you were beaten was not seen by anyone else." Megure Shisan informed Yusaku of the investigation results.

Kudo Yusaku thought about the scene he saw at that time. Although it was just a shadow, it looked very realistic, as if he was acting in front of you.

If it wasn't an hallucination, it was someone using some technique to make it look like Green was slashing at the child with a knife.

Yusaku looked at the magic stage. For a moment, he figured out something he didn't expect to understand. Is it an advanced visual magic? I was really deceived by my eyes.

Turning around on the stage, the dark curtain and the light shot from above the audience to the stage. The light was very dazzling. Yuzu lowered his head and looked at the stage. In fact, he had not figured out what the purpose of the person who sneaked up on him was.

The other party didn't seem to be a thief. Although he took the phone away and read the text message, he put it back to its original place. It stands to reason that if he deletes the text message he has read, he may not find that anyone has touched the phone.

But he read that important text message and did not delete it. Could it be a discovery of conscience? But Mingyue didn't say anything except sending the location, and the text messages exchanged didn't mention anything dangerous.

This puzzled Yusaku.

After finding Shinichi and Mingyue last night, Kudo Yusaku asked Megure Thirteen to check the fingerprints on the mobile phone, but the result was only his fingerprints.

It can be seen that the other party has made sufficient preparations. Whether it is the phantom that confuses his eyes, knocking him unconscious, or checking the text messages, it is all premeditated. If it weren't for the fact that the text message cannot be restored to unread after reading it, it is estimated that the other party will not be aware of it at all.

No, one thing is certain, the goldfish doll Mingyue left behind is missing.

Kudo Yusaku asked Officer Megure to look for it, but the goldfish doll seemed to disappear out of thin air. But Yuzuo remembered that he saw the doll in his hand when he waved the knife, and he asked Mingyue, and she did throw it away at that intersection.

Who took the doll away?

What is his purpose?

Kudo Yusaku frowned.

Officer Megure and Kudo Yusaku went backstage, and a police officer reported to Officer Megure: Someone was coming to dismantle the stage. Officer Megure stopped the dismantling of the stage because the case had not yet been fully investigated.

Backstage, Officer Megure met three of Miyamoto Mito's colleagues. The whereabouts of Yoko Kido is still unknown.

Gen Taniguchi, who took off his clown costume and wore a floral shirt, was the first to speak: "Officer, what's the reason for notifying us so early in the morning?"

The leather shoes on the feet of the trainer Ohno Shunsaburo were polished as bright as a mirror. He looked around and said, "Are we the only three people called over? Where is Miyamoto? Miss Yoko didn't come either."

Magician Kurokawa Yoshi was also a little confused. His originally handsome face was greatly compromised by two big dark circles hanging on his face. He looked at the police officer who came over and asked anxiously: "Officer, do you know the whereabouts of Miss Yoko? I'm very worried about her."

Clown Gen Taniguchi was startled at first, and his little eyes rolled around. Beast trainer Ohno Shunsaburo looked at magician Kurokawa Yoshi, his brows furrowed.

Their subtle expressions were seen by Officer Megure and Kudo Yusaku.

Officer Megure looked at the anxious magician Kurokawa Yoshi and comforted him: "Please calm down for a moment. We are looking for the whereabouts of Yoko Kido. There are some things we want to know about you now."

"Well, okay, I will definitely cooperate." Kurokawa Yoshi seemed to be easy to talk to, and seemed very eager to find Yoko Kido.

The remaining two people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Officer Memu led several people to the stage, and the stage lights shone on them.

Everyone was confused as to why Officer Megure would choose to ask them here. The animal trainer Shunsaburo Ohno frowned, the clown Gen Taniguchi seemed a little uneasy, but the magician Kurokawa Yoshi had a worried look on his face.

After Officer Megure scanned the crowd, he asked his first question, "What is your relationship with Yoko Kido?"

"Miss Yoko is our sponsor, and every performance we perform is sponsored by Miss Yoko." Clown Gen Taniguchi looked around, "Miss Yoko built a stage like this for us, and every time Yoko performs The lady will definitely be a special audience, and she will perform interactive performances with us on stage.”

Clown Gen Taniguchi looked at the two people around him, "It's just that most of the interactions with Ms. Yoko are on their shows. Because I play the role of a clown, Ms. Yoko basically won't interact with me."

The remaining two nodded.

Animal trainer Shunsaburo Ohno said: "Miss Yoko and my animals are also partners. My animal partners like Miss Yoko very much because Miss Yoko often takes care of them."

Magician Kurokawa Yoshi glanced at Shunsaburo Ohno next to him, "When it comes to partners, Miss Yoko and I have performed the most together, and my magic assistant Miyamoto Mi was chosen based on Miss Yoko's figure. After all, magic performances require the cooperation of several people, and some magic tricks require stand-ins of similar figures. And, and..."

Everyone looked at Kurokawa Yoshi.

Kurokawa Yoshi seemed to have made up a lot of determination before he said: "And I was going to confess to Miss Yoko last night. My original plan was to explain my feelings so that she would no longer doubt Miss Miyamoto. After all, I and Miss Yoko Miss Miyamoto is innocent. Miss Miyamoto is just a substitute that I found for Miss Yoko. Unfortunately, I waited all night and Miss Yoko didn’t come."

"Hmph, that means Miss Yoko politely rejected you." Ono Shunsaburo raised the corner of his mouth, but Kurokawa Yoshi's next words made him change his face.

Kurokawa Yoshi continued: "After the fireworks display, I came home disappointed and couldn't sleep. I thought about it, but I still hope that Ms. Yoko can give me an explanation. Even if she refuses, she must tell me in person. I I went to Yoko’s house with this determination, but there was no one at Yoko’s house, and I couldn’t contact Miss Yoko, so I called the police.”

At this time, everyone was silent, the surroundings were silent, and you could hear a needle drop.

Finally, Officer Megure broke the silence, "Where were you after your performance yesterday? What did you do?"

Kurokawa Yoshi seemed to be caught in some sadness and did not speak. The animal trainer Shunsaburo Ohno looked unhappy.

"What else can I do? Of course, it's cleaning and organizing magic props. I do this every time." Clown Gen Taniguchi spoke first.

Ohno Shunsaburo frowned and nodded, "I checked the cages containing the animals to be careful not to lock them properly and cause them to escape. I met Miss Suzuki Er, who came backstage with her friends to find Miss Yoko. I I had a few chats with them.”

Clown Gen Taniguchi nodded, "Yes, I also exchanged contact information with Miss Suzuki. They came to Miss Yoko to give feedback on the milk tea, but Miss Yoko has already gone back," Gen Taniguchi looked to Kurokawa aside. Ji, "Although she may come back in the evening, some people say that Miss Yoko has not come back."

Ohno Shunsaburo also looked at Kurokawa Yoshi, "Yes, if Miss Yoko comes here at night and disappears, then she must be related to you, Mr. Kurokawa."

Officer Megure saw Ono Shunsaburo staring at Kurokawa Yoshi viciously, "Why did you say Kido Yoko would come back?"

"Because Kurokawa once told us that he wanted to confess his love to a certain lady last night and perform a magic trick between two people on that lady. It seems that the lady is Miss Yoko." Taniguchi Seeing that Toshizaburo Ohno didn't speak, Yuan told the matter.

Kurokawa Yoshi looked innocent, "But I didn't wait for Miss Yoko to arrive all night, and I reported the crime. Many people saw me at the fireworks display. If I met Miss Yoko, they would also Someone saw it.”

Officer Megure arranged for someone to investigate whether anyone witnessed Yoko Kido at the fireworks display.

"If what Kurokawa said is true, if Miss Yoko is really missing, then it must be related to you." Gen Taniguchi pointed at Shunsaburo Ohno.

Everyone looked at Shunsaburo Ohno, and Gen Taniguchi continued, "You have a crush on Miss Yoko. If Miss Yoko accepted Kurokawa Yoshi's confession last night, then you and Miss Yoko would never be together, so you kidnapped Miss Yoko."

"Where did you lock Yoko?" Kurokawa Yoshi stepped forward and grabbed Ohno Shunsaburo's collar. Ohno Shunsaburo was not someone to be trifled with, so he pushed Kurokawa Yoshi down with one palm.

Kurokawa Yoshi stood up from the ground with gritted teeth and patted his sleeves.

Taniguchi Gen thought for a moment, "You should lock Miss Yoko in your animal cages, take her to your manor in the countryside, and imprison Miss Yoko."

"You! You are talking nonsense! You!" Ohno Shunsaburo was so angry that he was speechless. He raised his fist and wanted to hit Taniguchi Gen.

After Officer Megure separated the two, he looked at Toshizaburo Ohno and said, "Please tell you the location of the country manor. We will send people there to investigate."

After Toshizaburo Ohno took two deep breaths, he gave an address and seemed to be very cooperative with the police investigation.

Officer Megure immediately arranged for police officers to investigate.

"I like her. She is very good to my animal partners, and she doesn't dislike me. But I know that I am not worthy of Miss Yoko." Ohno Shunsaburo stared at Gen Taniguchi fiercely, "I am doing good things. I am not afraid of police investigation. But I know that you owe Miss Yoko a large amount of money, and the repayment date seems to be within these few days. If something unexpected happens to Miss Yoko, maybe the debt does not need to be repaid. Isn’t it?”

Gen Taniguchi became anxious and shouted: "You are slandering!"

Ohno Shunsaburo crossed his arms and said, "I borrowed money to play with small steel balls. I owe a lot of money. And I also heard that you borrowed a lot of usury. Maybe you kidnapped Miss Yoko and hoped to get it from Miss Yoko." Get more money."

"Don't accuse me unjustly." Taniguchi jumped to his feet.

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Officer Megure immediately stopped him sternly, "Mr. Taniguchi, between the end of the performance and the fireworks setting off yesterday afternoon, where were you? What did you do?"

"I, after cleaning up the backstage, naturally went to play small steel balls. In fact, I don't have much interest in the fireworks display. It's the same every year. But I was very lucky yesterday. You can check it out. Many people should be See me." Taniguchi Genya also mentioned a location, and Officer Megure sent police officers to investigate.

Officer Megure frowned, "When was the last time you saw Miss Yoko?"

When these words were asked, the three people frowned.

Gen Taniguchi recalled: "It must have been on the stage. At that time, I was in the corner behind the scenes and couldn't see the audience. I could only see Yoko being locked in a wooden box by Kurokawa on the stage. Then I pressed the button before The plan released white smoke. I don’t know if the equipment was a little outdated. In an instant, the smoke filled the entire stage and I couldn’t see anything clearly. I fumbled to turn off the equipment, but luckily it didn’t affect the performance, because I heard There were cheers and cheers.”

Ohno Shunsaburo thought for a while, "I am similar to Taniguchi Gen. Although the tiger chosen for the last performance was the docile one, after all, I was not next to the tiger. I was very worried and kept paying attention to the people on the stage. Magic props, I didn’t feel relieved until I saw the tiger appear in the cage.”

Kurokawa Yoshimo rubbed his chin, "For the last magic trick, after I locked Miss Yoko into the magic prop, Miss Yoko should leave along the hidden grid in the prop. After I saw the hint of her leaving, I activated the switch to lock the tiger. Release it. Miss Yoko probably left after that because she was afraid that her magic skills would be exposed."

Officer Megure heard that the situation was different from what Maorilan and the others told, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't it Yoko Kido who appeared in the audience?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Kurokawa Yoshi explained: "That's Miss Miyamoto. Because she wanted to surprise the audience, Miss Yoko ran to the audience out of breath. Miss Yoko was not very happy, so in the end she arranged for Miss Miyamoto to Appearing there instead of Miss Yoko, people will mistakenly think that it is Miss Yoko who appears."

Kudo Yusaku looked at the magician Kurokawa Yoshi, "So for the last magic trick, you put a mask on Yoko."

"Yes, and after the last magic trick, Miss Miyamoto will go backstage, change into the same clothes as Miss Yoko, and wear the same mask. Fortunately, I found a magic assistant who is very similar to Miss Yoko. , otherwise this magic may not go on." Kurokawa Yoshi looked around, Miyamoto Mito had not yet appeared, and felt something was not good, "Ms. Miyamoto, won't she come over?"

Kudo Yusaku and Officer Megure looked at each other, "When was the last time you saw Mizu Miyamoto?"

The first person to speak was still the clown Gen Taniguchi, "I won't see her anymore after the performance. She has no interest in cleaning up every time. She feels tired and doesn't want to clean up. She thinks she is also the eldest lady." There was a hint of emotion in his words. Some hint of dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, Miyamoto was originally treated as a white moonlight and was doted on, but then he was abandoned. Speaking of Miyamoto's life experience, he was really pitiful. He had a car accident three years ago, his parents died, and he also lost his memory. In the past, Your boyfriend has now become your ex-boyfriend." Ohno Shunsaburo looked at Kurokawa Yoshi, "Kurokawa, what I despise you most is that you are stepping on two boats. You keep trying to wake up Miyamoto's original memory, but in the end, you and Yang Miss Zi confesses her love. Do you know? How much I hope you can be with Miyamoto for a long time."

"Miyamoto and I are just colleagues now," Kurokawa Yoshi sighed and continued, "After all, she lost her memory in a car accident three years ago. She has never recovered, and she has not recognized me. Sometimes. I still doubt whether she is my Bai Yueguang, but she is very similar to my Bai Yueguang in appearance and body shape. It's a pity that she has forgotten me and will never be able to go back to the way she used to be. And I also like Yoko Miss."

Kurokawa Yoshi seemed to have remembered something and felt a little sad.

Ono Junzaburo looked at Officer Megure, frowned, and expressed his speculation: "Miss Yoko, she won't be kidnapped, right? After all, a wealthy daughter like her can easily be kidnapped. For example, if someone Very short of money.”

Taniguchi Gen jumped to his feet and said: "You are not still doubting me! You must also doubt Miyamoto, she is not here yet. Maybe Miyamoto kidnapped Miss Yoko, after all, Kurokawa had previously I love you so much, but just yesterday I had to confess my love to Miss Yoko, and don’t forget Miyamoto, she can also do magic,"

Suddenly Taniguchi Gen stared at Kurokawa Yoshi, "If you want to do any magic, Miyamoto must also know about it. And if Miyamoto thinks that killing Miss Yoko will change your mind, she might kill her." Miss Yoko."

Ono Toshizaburo frowned, unavoidably worried in his heart, "Whether it is family background or fate, she is not as good as Miss Yoko, and she has not appeared until now. There must be something wrong here."

"Miss Miyamoto is very gentle, and she is not jealous of Miss Yoko." Kurokawa Yoshi tried to defend his magic assistant, but it is unknown how many people believed it.

But Gen Taniguchi said: "A substitute is always a substitute and can never replace the real one. Lose your memory and become the substitute of Bai Yueguang in your memory, or become the substitute of Miss Yoko on the magic stage. From beginning to end, it is just a substitute, but if the real one Once he dies, the substitute is no longer a substitute.”

Ono Toshizaburo looked worried.

Kudo Yusaku stood in front of the magic props and looked at Kurokawa Yoshi, "Mr. Kurokawa, can you explain to us the last magic trick yesterday afternoon?"

Kurokawa Yoshi said with an embarrassed look: "Officer, we rely on this for a living. If it is decrypted, we can't perform it. In fact, the last magic trick, the beauty transforming into a beast, was actually proposed by Miss Yoko. Although at the beginning We don’t agree, but she is a sponsor no matter what, so we can only agree.”

Shunsaburo Ohno also nodded, "Yes, before, our animal show was an animal show and our magic show was a magic show, but Miss Yoko suggested that she wanted to combine the animal show and the magic show. In fact, there is a reason for this, after all. Everyone liked the scene where the tiger leaped over her very much, so we convened us to design this finale magic show.”

Taniguchi Gen thought for a while and said: "Miss Yoko, she is not satisfied with just a tiger jumping over her body. She pursues more exciting sensory expressions. She likes applause very much and likes the feeling of being in the spotlight."

Yusaku looked at the magic props in front of him and asked, "Isn't it dangerous for humans and beasts to be together?"

Ohno Shunsaburo sighed, "It is very dangerous, but it depends on the person. If I am present and hold a whip, those animals will not dare to do anything that disobeys the order, so there will be no risk."

Kurokawa Yoshiya looked at the magic props and said: "Actually, the original design was for Miss Miyamoto to walk into the magic props, and Miss Yoko to come out of the audience and take off her mask, but Miss Miyamoto, she couldn't get close to the tiger. "

Taniguchi Gen also spoke, "Except for Ono Junzaburo who can get close to those beasts, among the remaining few people, only Miss Yoko can get close to them, and no one else can."

Ono Shunsaburo's eyes were soft, as if he had thought of something, "Maybe Miss Yoko is like an angel."

……

The cicadas are chirping in summer and the wind is hot.

Mingyue's symptoms have subsided a lot and she is ready to go home to recuperate.

Kudo Shinichi couldn't help scratching once, and his skin became pus-filled, which Yukiko criticized a lot.

Sonoko was taken home by steward Suzuki, and he reluctantly waved goodbye to everyone in the car.

Mao Lilan was thinking about Yoko's affairs, so she said goodbye to everyone and went out for a walk. At the market, she met several people who had just said goodbye to Officer Memu.

Several of them also recognized Mao Lilan as a friend of the second Miss Suzuki and came forward to say hello.

"Mr. Kurokawa, have you confessed to Miss Yoko?"

Kurokawa Yoshi looked bitter, "I didn't meet Miss Yoko last night, so I didn't succeed in confessing."

Taniguchi Gen whispered to Ono Junzaburo: "To be honest, I think Miyamoto was jealous of Miss Yoko, so he killed Miss Yoko."

After Mao Lilan heard this, she turned to look at Junzaburo Ohno, "Miss Miyamoto Mito is dead."

Several people had looks of shock on their faces.

Kurokawa Yoshi was the first to react, "What?! Miyamoto is dead! How did she die? Where did she die?!"

Mao Lilan was startled by Kurokawa Yoshi and told them the information he knew this morning. An inexplicable atmosphere lingered among the people present.

Mao Lilan shed tears at the corners of her eyes, "They suspect that the murderer killed the wrong person. Miss Yoko is in danger now. If you know, you must protect Miss Yoko."

Ono Shunsaburo clenched his fists, "We will protect Miss Yoko."

Taniguchi Gen jumped to his feet and said: "I don't even know where Miss Yoko is now, so how can I protect her?"

Kurokawa Yoshi looked at Mao Lilan who was crying and said: "You are really a kind girl, beautiful and kind."

At this time, Kurokawa Yoshi's phone rang. After Kurokawa Yoshi said goodbye to everyone, he pressed the answer button. A woman's coquettish voice came from the receiver: "It's so slow. What are you doing?"

"Sorry, honey, there are some things to deal with..."
