Chapter 42 14. Underground Aquarium

From that night until the next day, the police conducted a sweeping search of Zhiliang Amusement Park.After receiving the report from Kijima Criminal Police, the local police station immediately dispatched more than a dozen police officers to support. The police officers and servants in the park formed a search team of dozens of people, each holding a lantern, whether it is on the tower, in the maze, every box of the Ferris wheel, the merry-go-round, hell bliss, the aquarium, the vast field, Every corner of the deep forest has been carefully searched.Unfortunately, the dwarf was nowhere to be found until dawn.

Some say he may have escaped from the park, but that's unlikely.Escaping from this amusement park, where else can that "outstanding" deformed child hide and look for food?Zhiliang Amusement Park, which is shaped like a huge maze, is the best hiding place for criminals who want to hide from the public.Besides, the big plans of July 14 still awaited his realization. It wasn't until noon that day that the exhausted people gathered in the mansion in the center of the amusement park. "Stop this carnival and let everyone take refuge in a safer place, how about it? I mean, empty the Zhiliang Amusement Park." The director was very angry and roared as if to vent.

"We have nowhere to go. As I've always maintained, this amusement park is our only refuge. I'm not going to leave this place. Please search again as a matter of urgency. Now that the killer has been identified, all it takes is arrest Alright." Jiraemon, who was pale from lack of sleep, begged. "You said search, where are you going to search? Haven't we searched every corner?" "I still have some clues that he may be hiding somewhere." "where?" "Underground aquarium." "Oh, there have been at least ten searches there, right?" Detective Kijima couldn't help interjecting.

"The way to find it is wrong. I just remembered it a moment ago. There is also a hidden hiding place. That terrible dwarf may have discovered it one step earlier than us." "Then, please lead the way." The director replied reluctantly. Detective Kijima and five police officers followed Ji Ryoemon down the underground aquarium. In front of me, a long cement tunnel winds away, with several large windows embedded in the walls on both sides, and the seabed scenery can be seen outside the thick glass. Of course it is not the real deep sea, the outside is surrounded by a cement tank, the bottom is covered with rocks, pebbles and soil, a lot of seaweed is planted, and all kinds of rare fish are put in.With the exception of the phosphorescent sea-serpent tanks, the water was lit with bright electric lights, imitating the tanks of the bottom of the sea, and even a small stone on the bottom was clearly visible-every small stone distorted by the layer of blue salt water.

"Which places have you looked for? You probably haven't noticed the other side of this glass wall before?" Jiliangemon turned back and asked the six companions. "Isn't there only water on the other side of the glass wall? Anyway..." "No, even so, there is a large gap in the water, and the air in it is enough for a person to live." The six people looked at each other, and couldn't help whispering, probably because they were shocked by the murderer's whimsical way of escape. "It means that the dwarf is soaking in the aquarium tank, just sticking his face out of the water and staying still?"

"Besides, there's nothing suspicious, is there?" So, everyone slowed down and carefully observed each sink. Soon, Zhiliangemon and Kijima detective stopped in front of a huge glass window at the same time. There are no fish in this tank, and there are some strange seaweeds in it, so the whole glass looks like a witch with her messy hair standing on end, forming a muddy shadow.There is also a light on the top, but it is still unclear. If you really want to doubt it, this is the most suspicious place. "Is there any big fish here?" The policeman was puzzled. "No, it's all seaweed, there should be no fish."

The detective couldn't believe it: "But, look at that swaying look, that Kumbu's swaying posture." If you look closely, you can see a white five-petal flower suddenly blooming in a dense forest of slimy green and black seaweed.The white five-petal flower looks like a starfish, greedily trying to grab the sea water. "It's a hand! Hey, that's a human hand!" Those are obviously the five fingers of a human being, and the shadows of painful struggles before dying are condensed on the fingers. Behind the seaweed that the fingers pushed aside, a big bloody mouth popped out.It was a deformed child with a huge mouth.He stared at the empty eyes, sprayed bright red paint like a waterfall between his lips and teeth, and shouted silently in the water, and he didn't know what he was shouting.

If Detective Kijima knew how to read lips, he would be able to decipher the creepy words of curses from the mouth of the dying Sosuke Ushisa, who was moving like a carp.Unfortunately, he doesn't understand anything. Of course, the two immediately detoured to the sink, but it was too late.Zongsuke was pierced through the chest by someone and thrown into the sink. At this moment, he died and floated quietly to the surface of the water. So much for the hunt for the murderer.Although the development of the story is quite bizarre, it is not suitable for playing guessing games.But even without logical analysis, many readers should have noticed the real culprit that the author deliberately concealed.It is better to leave the readers to come up with their own answers.
