Chapter 38 10. Diary and Telescope

In other words, this morning, three murders happened almost simultaneously in Zhiliang Amusement Park.Reiko Harada was killed in the middle of the maze, Jiro Mitani was on the merry-go-round, and Orie Hitomi was killed in the flying boat. This group of friends are always not good at getting up early, except San Gu.Today, as usual, he left his bedroom around six o'clock in the morning and wandered around.When passing the carousel, he wanted to sit for a while on a whim, so he activated the switch.As soon as the machines started turning, he jumped on one of the wooden horses. As a result, dozens of wooden naked horses with different postures shook their heads and rattled and spun.

Sangu holds the rein, swings his buttocks back and forth, and yells to compete with the naked horse. Needless to say, there was no one around the Trojan Horse Pavilion as far as the eye could see.Apart from the sound of the cool morning wind whistling across the cheeks, not even the chirping of birds could be heard. After spinning about ten times, a sharp whistling sound broke the silence, and Jiro felt a strong impact as if being stabbed with a stick. "Wow!" He screamed and fell to the ground.However, no matter how much he yelled "who is it", no one responded to him.

Unbelievable, simply unbelievable.Looking around, there was no one there, but the bullet shot out from nowhere, and shot through the boy's chest with precision. An hour later, Ayuko Kinoshita and Zongsuke Yucha found the dying Mitani. They picked up the boy who was covered in blood and mud and looked like a monster. "Who? Who fired the shot?" Hearing the question, the young man opened his lips angrily: "I don't know... diary, diary..." Then he became limp, unable to speak again.So, Zongsuke handed over the scene to Ayuko, and hurried to report to the master.

"The diary refers to the miscellaneous notes that Erlang writes every day. After reading it, you may find some clues." Ayuko speculated intelligently. "Do you know where the diary is kept?" Detective Mujima had sharp ears. "Well, probably in the desk drawer in his bedroom." "Is it convenient to lead the way immediately? I want to investigate as soon as possible...Mr. Kitagawa, please check the other deceased first, and I will be there soon." So, the detective and Ayuko went to Mitani's room, and Jiraemon led two or three servants to the airship.

The flying boat is tied to a small hill in the corner of the amusement park.As the distance gradually approached, one of the ropes of the rope ladder hanging down to the ground could be clearly seen broken, and the original shape of the ladder could no longer be seen, and the rope on the other side was tied to the hull of the ship in vain. "Oh, the rope ladder is broken." Jiraemon mused. When I came to the scene, another group of onlookers formed a human wall. "Ono? Is Ono there?" Hearing Jiraemon's call, Raizo walked out of the crowd. "Ah, Kitagawa, look, this is really miserable." Lei Zang said with a mournful face.

Looking in the direction he pointed, Zhezhi's body was lying on the ground.Indeed, the situation was dire.The broken branches are like meat buns thrown down from a height, and the corpse sinks into the ground, bloody and bloody. "Hey, she's holding a telescope." "Well, she was admiring the surrounding scenery. Then, when she was stepping on the rope ladder and was about to come down, she accidentally fell down like a bullet." "Did you see it with your own eyes?" "No, otherwise I would never turn a blind eye to death. It is said that the youngest son of the kitchen aunt saw it, and this is the child." Lei Zang explained with his hand lightly on the head of a six or seven-year-old boy.

"I'm sorry, since it was a child's words, I didn't take it seriously at all. I didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen..." The boy's mother kept apologizing, but Jiraemon didn't pay any attention to it. He stroked the boy's head with his nose dripping and asked: "Good boy, this sister is holding a telescope on the flying boat, isn't she?" "Well, she was very attentive." The boy's answer was surprisingly clear. "Where is she looking?" "Over there." The boy pointed to the killing maze. "Really? Are you sure you are right?"

"Well, big sister has been looking over there." "Ohno, Broke may be studying the structure of the maze on the airship. From above, the design of the maze can be seen at a glance." "But early in the morning, is she so enthusiastic?" "No, maybe she happened to see the scene where Lizi was killed. Auntie, what time was it?" "The kid ran back and told me that someone fell to the ground, it was around six o'clock." "Six o'clock... Maybe it's true." "Little friend, what then? Did Big Sister startle?" "Well, she opened her mouth wide, as if she had said something, and then she hurriedly thought about it."

"Like what I said... But, isn't she the only one on the flying boat?" "Well, it's just her." "Then how can she talk? Ah, I get it. Kid, Big Sister is screaming with her mouth wide open, isn't she? Saying 'Oops' or 'Help'." Unexpectedly, the boy turned pale and fell into silence. "Well, dear, dear, this question is too difficult for children. However, Ohno, I seem to have guessed correctly. Children, what then?" Jiraemon continued. "Then the rope snapped." "why?" "I don't know. The rope broke suddenly, and the elder sister fell headlong. The speed was so fast that I almost couldn't see the process of her falling." The boy described excitedly, as if he was showing off something.

Is this by accident?Could there be some terrible intention hidden in it?Almost at the same time, three strange deaths occurred in the garden. If it was really a coincidence, it would be too bizarre, and I am afraid it was not a single incident.Is it the same motive behind the series of bloody murders... Is the same murderer lurking in the dark?
