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

In the hospital ward, Yukiko packed up the lunch boxes that everyone had finished eating. Officer Megure handed the newly acquired photos to Kudo Yusaku, "Yusaku, I'm asking for your help this time."

Kudo Yusaku took the photo and said, "If I can help, I will help you no matter what."

"Dad, did Mr. Kurokawa really not recognize Miss Yoko as his Bai Yueguang?" Kudo Shinichi asked still unwilling to give up.

Kudo Yusaku looked at his son, "Some preconceived ideas are difficult to change once they are formed."

Kudo Shinichi lowered his head, thinking silently.

"Kudo-kun, if a girl who looks exactly like Mouri appears and two people stand in front of you at the same time, will you recognize that the girl is the real Mouri?" Mingyue tilted her head and looked at Shinichi.

Shinichi clenched his fists and said firmly: "I can recognize it, and I will definitely recognize it."

Mingyue smiled and said nothing.

Officer Memu rubbed his temples with a headache, "Now that the victim's experience in this case has been basically investigated clearly, the victim basically did not have any grudges with anyone. If it is not an indiscriminate crime of passion, I don't know how to explain it. Unless the murderer really just killed the wrong person."

Yusaku re-checked the photos of the crime scene and felt that the scene was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. And I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell what it is specifically.

Kudo Shinichi walked over secretly, took a few photos and left quietly. He came to Mingyue and shared the photos of the scene with Mingyue. With an excited smile on his face, "I took them secretly. Let's go together." look?"

Mingyue half-moon looked at Kudo Shinichi and looked around. Yukiko stood behind Yusaku, looking at the photo in Yusaku's hand, while Yusaku was chatting with Officer Megure about the case. They didn't seem to care about Shinichi taking the photo.

"Kudo-kun, you don't have to sneak over to get it. I don't think they will stop you. I am talking about these things here because Uncle Yusaku hopes to satisfy your curious detective heart."

Shinichi grinned widely.

Mingyue lowered her head to look at the photo handed over by Shinichi and frowned.

These photos are scenes outside the cabin. The cabin is in the woods. There are several ruts on the edge. They overlap with each other. It seems that many cars have passed through here, and there are probably no important clues left behind.

Judging from the photos, there are many similar huts to the hut where the crime occurred, but those huts are a bit larger than the hut where the crime occurred.

What caught Mingyue's attention the most was the group of ants. One of the photos was so clear that the wood grain of the hut could be seen. Is that so? An inference was generated in Mingyue's mind.

If this case was made by me, then I should design it like this...

Mingyue deduced the method of committing the crime in her mind, and sure enough, he was probably the only person who could do this.

"Yusaku, the victim should have come to this hut alone, but if he wasn't invited here by someone, something doesn't make sense?"

"I'm thinking about this too..."

"Yusaku, is it a little unreasonable for the victim to rush here right after he got off the stage?"

"It's really unreasonable, time is too short..."

Officer Megure and Kudo Yusaku were discussing the case, and the investigation lost its direction for a while.

Kudo Yusaku was a little frowning, and found a sense of inconsistency from time to space, but what went wrong?

Kudo Shinichi came close to Ming Yue, and the ointment on Shinichi's body smelled a bit unpleasant. Mingyue wrinkled her nose and looked at Shinichi who was full of expectation.

"Mingyue, you have been staring at these photos since just now. Did you find something?" Shinichi glanced at his father, Kudo Yusaku frowned, and his reasoning seemed to be in trouble, "But dad I haven’t deduced anything, and you probably haven’t figured it out either.”

Yukiko saw Mingyue pinching her nose, so she bent down and put her face next to Shinichi's ear. She smelled the ointment, pinched her nose, and said softly: "Xiaoxin, maybe the unpleasant smell of the ointment on your body is smelling like Mingyue." I can’t think of anything.”

Xin Banyue looked at her mother, "How is it possible? Mingyue is also wearing ointment." After saying that, she moved away from Mingyue, but still looked at Mingyue.

Yukiko gently patted Shinichi's hand that was scratching through the clothes, and said with a straight face: "Don't scratch." Then she looked at Mingyue, with a gentle smile on her face, and asked softly, "Did Mingyue see something? ?”

At this moment, Mingyue felt that several eyes were staring at her, and she slowly raised her head and looked at the people around her. There was some surprise, some expectation, and some curiosity in the eyes of several people.

After Kudo Shinichi was shocked, he looked excited, "You can't be better than dad, right?"

Mingyue and Yuzu looked at each other. There was no suspicion or scrutiny in Yuzuo's eyes, but instead there was expectation and encouragement.

Ming Yue sighed. Although the consequences would be the same for Ming Yue if she said it or not, she still decided to tell everyone, "Because we have been to that backstage and something happened."

Mingyue complained about some unpleasant things in her heart. She didn't want to recall certain things, and was even a little upset.

After listening to Ming Yue's words, Kudo Yusaku was basically sure that Ming Yue must know some information, so he asked: "Did Ming Yue find something? Can you tell me?"

Mingyue looked at Officer Megure, "Can I ask Officer Megure to take a sample of this board covered with ants? Let's see what we can detect. Although it may be a little long ago, we should still be able to detect it."

"Eh?!" Shinichi and Yukiko were confused.

Officer Mumu's eyes were also full of doubts, but he still said: "Well, I can arrange for a test, but what exactly will it be tested for?"

Mingyue smiled awkwardly, "I accidentally spilled a cup of milk tea. There may be residue on it." The actual situation is that the cup of milk tea was basically spilled... Haha...

Kudo Shinichi blinked, "Is it the milk tea that Ms. Yoko invited us to drink?"

Mingyue nodded, "Yes, it's the milk tea called Brilliance, which is also the milk tea specially provided for this fireworks display."

"I remember, you seemed to have been frightened by Mr. Suzumiya at that time. The milk tea spilled on Mr. Suzumiya and on the magic props. You were also told by Xiaolan, and a few of us wiped it for a long time." Kudo Shinichi Looking at the photo in his hand, he said with some doubt, "Is this a magic prop?"

"I can't rule it out. They look very similar from the photos." Mingyue looked at the naturally formed wooden patterns and compared them with the patterns on the magic props that were covered with black cloth and only a corner of them could be seen in the background. The similarity was very high. high.

Officer Mumu did not hesitate or doubt, and immediately arranged for someone to do a test.

The sky in summer is blue, with occasional clouds passing by.

On the rooftop, Fang Guling leaned on the railing, raising his head and looking at the blue sky and white clouds above his head. Zhu Fu Jingguang played the five-line bass, and the melodious music echoed on the rooftop.

"Why are you free to come here today?" Zhu Fu Jingguang put the bass away.

Rei Fukutani closed his eyes, seeming to be thinking about something, but finally said what he wanted to ask in his heart, "Hiro, how do you think a person who has never met him can determine the true identity of the other person?"

"Huh?" Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Jiang Guling in confusion, "This question is not something you can ask. What happened?"

Jianggu Ling slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang, "There have been a lot of rumors in the organization recently, have you paid attention to them?"

"What you want to say is about the rumors about Mingyue. I have heard about it. I investigated the incident and found that it was indeed true. However, what was recorded in the file was blood all over the walls and floor, both from humans and animals, but there was no No body was found. Presumably, the organization sent people to clean up after the incident. There were no clues left, so it was considered an unsolved case." Zhu Fu Jingguang shared the information he found with Jiangu Ling.

Fang Guling's brows knitted into a knot, "So what do you mean?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned. He had actually thought about this matter for a long time, "The authenticity of the death list is actually doubtful."

"Indeed, who compiled the first death list, who revised the subsequent lists, and why Monáe Mingyue's name was removed." Rei Fukiya sighed, "We don't know these things. There’s so little information.”

Zhufu Jingguang leaned on the railing next to Jiangu Ling, "I thought you would pay more attention to who committed that case."

"I am also very concerned about who committed this case. In fact, I guess the person who modified the list may know more about that case. If we can find him..."

Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly said, "Zero, there is actually one thing I didn't understand."

"Ok?"

"The two death lists don't seem to be public, but why were they suddenly made public? If Mingyue's identity is doubtful, why didn't it be made public at the beginning and only now? What is the purpose of the person who made this list public?" Zhu Fu Jing Guang feels that the rumors that are spreading at this time are the most puzzling.

"Thank you, Hiro, I seem to have figured out a lot of things."

"Actually, I have a suggestion," Zhu Fu Jingguang looked at Jiang Gu Ling, "ask Mingyue to come over and ask some questions, wouldn't it clear it up?"

Fang Guling was lost in thought, and after a long time he said, "Do you think she will say it?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed, "I don't know." Recalling the days when they lived together, Mingyue was just like an ordinary girl. She liked to play and make trouble, and she liked to pester him to make small cakes, but she never heard What information does she mention organizing.

Rei Fangtani picked up the guitar that was lying next to him, "Will Gin kill her?" He gently plucked the strings with his fingers.

"That person's style of doing things makes it difficult to guess. If Gin really wants to kill Mingyue, what do you want to do?" Zhu Fu Jingguang held the bass in his hand.

The sound of the piano mixed with the chirping of cicadas made the whole summer noisy.

In the hospital ward, Officer Mumu looked at the test report uploaded on his mobile phone with a smile on his face, "The test results are out. The ingredients of milk tea were indeed found in the wood fibers. Comparing them with the brilliant milk tea being sold, the ingredients are basically the same. .”

Mingyue covered her face with her hands and smiled to herself. By a strange combination of circumstances, she solved the mystery.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Ming Yue and said with a bad smile: "Ming Yue, you spilled this cup of milk tea well. First let Mr. Suzumiya change clothes, found Green's suicide note, and saved us. Then he cracked the corpse in the woods cabin. case." Kudo Shinichi covered his mouth with one hand, raised his eyebrows, and said coquettishly, "By the way, did you really not spill this cup of milk tea on purpose?"

Mingyue smiled awkwardly, how should she answer? The milk tea was indeed spilled on purpose, but I was also surprised by the ending.

At that time, I just wanted to slap the other person, make the other person angry and leave, or let the other person take action and call the police.

But I never expected that the person named Suzumiya Yoruichi could endure it, and he seemed to find the mechanical life crow and hide from it. Sure enough, he realized something that night, he was really a difficult guy.

Officer Memu concluded, "It is now basically certain that there are traces of the Brilliant Milk Tea where the ants appeared. It is also basically certain that this hut was a magic prop that was originally in the background and was moved to the woods."

Yusaku continued: "In this way, the alibi of Taniguchi Gen and Ohno Shunsaburo will no longer exist, and they will have time to handle the case."

"But dad, their motive for committing the crime is not clear. I can't figure out why they killed Miss Miyamoto." Kudo Shinichi became even more confused.

Mingyue looked at Kudo Shinichi, who was full of doubts, "Kudo-kun, Miss Miyamoto's original position was in the audience, and that position originally belonged to Miss Yoko. Although I don't know why, they changed positions. But anyone who knows the performance process should know this."

"Then their target should actually be Miss Yoko! Did Taniguchi Gen kill Miss Yoko for money?"

"Killing people, the money is not his, why did he kill?" Mingyue rolled her eyes at Kudo Shinichi, thinking, if the motive is entangled, it is indeed not clear, maybe there is some hidden information that we don't know.

Kudo Shinichi lowered his head and thought, "But Mr. Kurokawa had no reason to kill Miss Yoko or Miss Miyamoto. Could it be that Ohno Shunsaburo wanted Miss Yoko to be happy, so he killed Miss Miyamoto, who was competing with Miss Yoko?"

Mingyue's half-moon eyes looked at Kudo Shinichi speechlessly, "Your idea is very strange. It is very strong to give up the person you love to others."

Shinichi scratched his face in embarrassment, but Yukiko slapped his hand away.

Mingyue imitated Shinichi's evil smile before, "Kudo-kun, if Maori falls in love with someone else, will you give him up?"

Kudo's new head shook like a rattle. He couldn't imagine what he would become after Mao Lilan left him.

"Miyamoto Mito actually didn't take a curtain call at all. She died on the stage before her performance was completed." Yusaku said with a serious face, "Youko Kido's situation may be very dangerous."

Officer Megure agreed with Yusaku's point of view, "That's why Yusaku didn't let us tell them that the deceased was Miyamoto Mito, because the murderer's target has always been Kido Yoko. However, the murderer did not confirm the identity of the deceased after committing the crime."

Kudo Yusaku looked at the photos of the scene and said: "Maybe it's because he was facing down and wearing a mask. The murderer must have been worried that taking off the mask or turning over the body would leave evidence, so he didn't confirm it."

"It may also be that once done, it would destroy the original plan, so the murderer did not do it." After thinking about it, Mingyue added: "Or the murderer was overconfident and felt that his method was perfect and did not need to be checked."

After all, this method is too perfect, exploiting loopholes in time and space. As long as some things are handled well, the police investigation can be misled.

Kudo Yusaku nodded, "Indeed, if there is no accident, it is estimated that this method will be difficult to detect."

Yusaku informed everyone of the technique.

This beauty-turned-beast performance uses magic props and smoke to create misunderstandings in the audience's minds. When the white mist filled the stage, the magic props were replaced by a tiger cage through a series of devices such as stage mechanisms, and the magic props were moved to the bottom of the stage. The murderer also committed the murder during this period, so anyone who knows the stage mechanism and the location of the performers is suspected.

Officer Megure thought for a long time, but still couldn't understand why Yoko Kido's place was now Mito Miyamoto, so he asked, "Why was Mito Miyamoto the last to die?"

Mingyue said: "Maori was invited to perform magic on stage. At that time, Miss Miyamoto and Miss Yoko exchanged places. Miss Yoko, who was originally in the audience, came to the stage, but Miss Miyamoto appeared in the audience, so There must be a secret passage on the stage, and there may be more than one."

Officer Megure nodded, apparently understanding some of the mechanisms on the stage.

"Because they actually all thought that it was Miss Miyamoto who appeared in the audience, not Miss Yoko, then in fact they all knew the way Miss Yoko escaped from the stage, and Miss Miyamoto also knew it."

"Mingyue, anyone who knows the route can kill Miss Miyamoto, and then Miss Yoko will be more likely to commit the murder. First of all, Miss Yoko knows the location of Miss Miyamoto, and secondly, Miss Yoko has a motive for committing the crime. She went to Miyamoto." Kill Miss Miyamoto wherever I am.”

"Wrong, Miss Miyamoto died where Miss Yoko was." Mingyue pointed out the flaw in Kudo Shinichi's reasoning.

"Then Miss Yoko can also kill Miss Miyamoto at her position, or Miss Miyamoto ran to Miss Yoko's position and wanted to kill Miss Yoko, but Miss Yoko killed her instead?"

"Mr. Detective, that is a stage performance. Each character has a fixed position in each performance. If he leaves his post without permission, the performance will not go on. And this is a magic show. If there is any mistake, the audience will find it. , that would arouse suspicion.”

Yukiko nodded and said, "That's right. The larger the performance, the stricter the division of roles. During the performance, where the actors will appear and where they cannot appear are all planned. In order for the entire performance to continue, it is There can be no deviation.”

Suddenly Kudo Yusaku's glasses glowed with white light, "No! Thirteen, quickly control the magician Kurokawa Yoshi, he is the most suspected of committing the crime!"
