The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 4: Roller Coaster Murder Case…?

"Let me tell you, the power of Sherlock Holmes..."

Kudo Shinichi leaned against the barrier waiting in line, looking excited, "When he first met his assistant Watson, he could tell from just shaking hands that Watson was a military doctor who had been to Afghanistan!"

As he spoke, he reached through the barriers and shook the hand of the long-haired woman in line over there: “Just like this.”

The woman looked confused at first, but soon turned to fear at his words, "Are you from the gymnastics club?"

"Ah, how could you..."

The short-haired girl next to him asked in surprise: "Do you know him?"

"Do not......"

Kudo Shinichi held his head and explained to Mao Lilan: "You can tell from the blisters on her hands. If a girl has blisters on her fingers, she must have been in contact with iron bars and the like."

"But if you play tennis, you will get blisters on your hands, right?" Mao Lilan looked back at the long-haired woman and raised an objection.

Kudo Shinichi had no choice but to add: "Actually, when I saw her skirt lifted up by the wind, I saw some strange blood clots on her groin."

"No matter where you are, you must keep your eyes and ears open. This is the basic skill of a detective..."

Mao Lilan was not used to his smug look, and turned her head away, "So you knew it before we shook hands. I thought you were as good as Sherlock Holmes, but it turns out you were just cheating!"

"Hey! You two are keeping me from sitting with my friends!"

The sudden roar startled the two men. A frivolous man was getting angry at them, with a woman in a plush shawl in his arms.

Is she the friend of that woman just now?

Kudo Shinichi turned around and asked, "Um, do you want to change seats?"

The long-haired woman smiled and waved her hand, refusing in an ambiguous tone.

"No, no, it's okay. It would be bad to disturb them."

Soon it was their turn to get on the ride, and Mao Lilan pulled Kudo Shinichi onto the roller coaster.

"Hurry up, it's our turn!"

At the same time, there was a noise coming from the back. Kudo Shinichi looked over and saw two suspicious men in black rudely cutting in line and sitting in the last two rows.

Among them, the wide-chinned man in sunglasses was particularly arrogant, while the man with long silver hair just stood there quietly, giving a full sense of oppression.

Kudo Shinichi paid attention for a moment, then came to his senses and continued to tell Mouri Ran his views on Sherlock Holmes.

"I think Conan Doyle would have said the same thing, wouldn't you? Holmes..."

"Enough! I don't want to hear about Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle anymore!" Mao Lilan was so annoyed by his noise that she couldn't help but interrupt him loudly.

"You're a mystery freak!"

"The reason I came here with you is that I wanted to spend a happy day with you," she said, looking a little lonely.

“Why don’t you understand my feelings?”

Kudo Shinichi is speechless.

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last too long. Soon, Mao Lilan adjusted her expression and acted as if she had successfully played a prank on him.

"Idiot! Why are you panicking?" She laughed cheerfully.

"You've been fooled by me, haven't you? How can you become a great detective if you fall into the trap so easily?"

Bang!

"The roller coaster is about to start, everyone hold on tight!"

The staff smiled and reminded everyone, and the train began to climb the slope slowly.

"But..." Mao Lilan whispered something.

Kudo Shinichi looked at her, as if he had guessed what she would say next.

She smiled gently: "I'm really happy today!"

boom! ! !

The roller coaster reached the highest point of the track and suddenly rushed down, with the speed reaching the maximum in an instant!

"Ahhhhh!"

The screams that resounded through the sky came one after another, and Kudo's heartbeat unconsciously quickened, almost jumping him out of his seat.

Ok?

Something dripped onto my face, was it water?

In the dark tunnel, people's screams echoed off the stone walls and seemed a little more ethereal. After a brief moment of blindness, the roller coaster left the tunnel and light returned to everyone's eyes.

laugh--

what sound?

Kudo Shinichi suddenly felt something was wrong. Thinking of the inexplicable water drops in the tunnel, he immediately turned around to look.

A headless corpse was sitting there quietly, with a large amount of blood spurting out from the severed part, like a fountain, very bloody.

"Big brother, what's going on?" Voltgar was shocked. He usually acted cleanly and efficiently, and had never seen such a spectacular scene.

Gin made a "tsk" sound and dodged the splattered blood slightly to avoid letting his long silver hair get stained.

Soon the roller coaster arrived at the end, and everyone left their seats as quickly as possible, trying to get away from the horrible corpse.

"Call an ambulance! Call the police too!"

"There was an accident!"

Detective Kudo Shinichi's qualities came into play. He immediately and consciously protected the scene and shouted at the stunned crowd.

"Why, why would Kishida..." The woman with the plush shawl who had been hugging the deceased covered her mouth.

The long-haired and short-haired gymnastics girls who were traveling with her also looked incredulous.

"Brother, why don't we leave first? I have a bad feeling about this." Vodka whispered to Gin, with big drops of sweat on his forehead.

Unfortunately, the two men in black's behavior of turning around and leaving was too eye-catching, not to mention that Kudo Shinichi had paid special attention to these two people before.

"No one can leave!" The young detective stood up from the body with a serious expression and shouted at them, "This is not an accident, this is murder!"

"The murderer is among the passengers!"

"Brother, it looks like it's too late to leave..." Vodka looked at the fat yellow man who squeezed into the scene, his face a little stiff.

"Get out of the way, I'm a policeman!" Officer Megure struggled to get through the crowd, "Ah, isn't this Brother Kudo!"

"It's Officer Megure." When Kudo Shinichi saw the police arrive, he couldn't help but relax a little and began to concentrate on examining the body.

One, two, three... eighteen, nineteen, no matter how I think about it, fifteen rounds are not enough.

Gin glanced at the roller coaster parked there. Not to mention there was such a large shelter here, even with the vodka it might not be enough.

He said in a cold voice, "Please hurry up, I don't have time to play detective games here."

If these guys want to search me, I can only break in by force, which will surely leave a lot of traces behind, and it will be much more difficult to clean up afterwards.

Kudo Shinichi looked up and met Gin's eyes, and his heart sank.

This guy's eyes are so cold, as if he could kill someone without any hesitation!

who is he!

"Officer Megure, we found this in this woman's bag!" The investigating police officer reported loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

It turned out to be a fruit knife wrapped in cloth!

"How, how could there be such a thing? I have no idea!"

"Aiko! Why did you do that..." The long-haired gymnast girl stood up at the right time and asked in tears.

"No, it's not me!" Aiko turned her head in horror and argued loudly.

Unfortunately, no one listened.

"You and Kishida are so close, why do you..." The long-haired girl took a step back.

Gin became more and more annoyed. Who these days would believe that a small fruit knife could cut off a head so smoothly?

However, he had no intention of correcting it, so he just let it go.

"Hey, hasn't the murderer been caught? It's time to let us go!"

The crowd also began to whisper.

"What? It's so easy to find the murderer."

"I thought that woman was suspicious."

"Maybe it was a couple's quarrel."

"Women are so scary..."

Kudo Shinichi picked up the fruit knife and looked at it for a moment, then quickly put it down and examined the victim's wound again.

Officer Megure pointed his finger with high spirits, ordering the police to arrest Miss Aiko, "Okay, bring the female suspect back to the police station for interrogation!"

"Please wait a moment, Officer Megure," Kudo interrupted the farce, "the murderer is not her."

"Don't forget, just like yesterday's case, the murderer's favorite thing to do is to confuse the public!"

He pointed directly at the long-haired gymnast girl whose tears had not yet dried, "You are the murderer, right!"

"What!" She was startled and spoke faster.

"What are you talking about? You also saw that the murder weapon was clearly placed in Aiko's bag, right?"

"That kind of thing can't cut off a person's head. Besides, that woman doesn't have that kind of power."

As Kudo Shinichi said this, another strange voice sounded in his heart.

If you often observe beheaded corpses, you will find that their cuts are not so smooth.

Mr. Rin's sentence structure is surprisingly useful sometimes...

Shaking off his distracting thoughts, Kudo returned to the case at hand.

"Besides, if she was the murderer, she should have had many opportunities to discard the murder weapon. Why would she specially wrap it in a cloth?"

"You put it in there beforehand, didn't you?"

"No, don't talk nonsense!" the gymnast shouted anxiously. She seemed to have thought of something and grasped a life-saving straw.

"I was sitting in the seat in front of Kishida. How, how could I cut off his head? And you also said that women don't have that kind of strength..."

"Indeed, women don't have that kind of power..."

Kudo's face turned serious and his tone was stern: "But if we use the speed of the roller coaster and combine it with piano wires or steel rings, it's possible!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Kudo quickly began his favorite demonstration of skills, "Mr. Police, please help me."

Several police officers sat in their seats obediently as he said, without moving.

"First, before lowering the safety guardrail, put something like a bag behind you, and then lower the guardrail..."

With a click, the guardrail was locked.

Kudo slid down and freed himself from the guardrail.

"You see, because there's a gap, it's easy to get out."

"Next, he took out the prepared noose with a hook or something, hooked his foot on the safety railing, leaned back, and put the noose around the victim's neck."

He stuck in his seat in a very ecstatic posture, "Of course, all this will happen when passing through the tunnel."

"Then we just have to hang the hook on the track and use the speed and momentum of the roller coaster to chop the head off."

"Pfft-"

A faint laugh sounded in the quiet scene. Gin noticed that everyone was looking at the sound and restrained his expression slightly.

Only a detective who has never killed anyone before could come up with such a bizarre method of killing.

Falling off the guardrail on a roller coaster going 120 miles per hour?

How can you put the noose on the dead man's neck accurately across two seats? And also fight against the wind pressure?

If she can do that, she will be the world's number one killer.

"This is complete nonsense! What evidence do you have that I did it?" the long-haired gymnastics girl asked back angrily.

"Then let me ask you first," the familiar steps, the familiar impotent rage, Kudo regained the feeling of solving cases as usual, and his heart was filled with excitement.

How can anyone clear himself like Mr. Lin? Can I still be a detective?

"Where is that pearl necklace you wore around your neck before riding the roller coaster?"

The long-haired gymnast was stunned for a moment and her face turned pale, as if she had been hit.

"I'm afraid you used that necklace as a weapon to cut off Mr. Kishida's head! Now go search under the tunnel, you will definitely find it!"

"No, there's no need to look for it," the long-haired gymnast laughed bitterly, "It's impossible to find that kind of thing."

A bad premonition came over Kudo Shinichi.

"Because it's in my bag."

"I was just afraid that the wind on the roller coaster would be too strong and blow it away, so I put it away temporarily."

The long-haired gymnast girl's expression was gloomy, but her tone became very calm.

Kudo's pupils shrank slightly.

......

"Yuanta, it's all your fault for running around. We got lost and don't know where we are."

"Stop talking nonsense. You don't know the way either! Since you chose to follow me, don't complain!"

"You two, stop arguing."

In the dark roller coaster tunnel, three childish voices were heard. Although they were arguing, they all contained a hint of fear.

"Kids, this is not a place for playing." The man with a gentle tone walked behind the three children, scaring them so much that they screamed.

"You, who are you!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya suppressed his inner fear and asked loudly.

"Don't be afraid, come this way and you'll be out soon." The man ignored the children's hostility and slowly walked out holding Yoshida Ayumi, who was in the middle.

Ayumi was also very scared, but she felt that the voice had no ill intentions, and the hand that was holding her was not very strong, but very gentle, so she gradually felt at ease.

"Yuanta, Mitsuhiko, I don't think this big brother is a bad guy. He might be a staff member of the park."

The man had no intention of answering her questions. He just walked slowly. He seemed to be in a good mood and was humming a melody softly.

Ayumi listened to the man's humming and felt that it sounded familiar. Then she remembered that it was a nursery rhyme called...

Seven children.

This older brother still seems to be very childish.

She felt relieved.

A few minutes later, they finally walked out of the pitch-black tunnel and returned to the bright place.

"Ah, I'm finally saved. Okay, it's decided. Let's have a big eel meal!" Yuantai was full of energy.

Ayumi looked up at the big brother who was holding her hand, and through the gold-rimmed glasses, she saw the deep starry sky.

When she came to her senses, the older brother had already left.
