Chapter 22 Chapter 4 Tianyuntang Hypothesis

This kind of thing is rare now, but in the past, some simple movie theaters and other places occasionally stopped the film due to mechanical failure.The character who was originally moving was pinned to the screen while maintaining a posture.It looks very weird. The moment the lights came on, this was the scene inside the Cabaret.People are like characters in still film, motionless for a moment, like fossils.Someone maintained the posture of half rising from the chair.Someone's beer mug rests on his mouth, nailed in place like that.The interior of the cabaret is like a giant living painting.

But this huge picture scroll was interrupted by a woman's shrill voice. "No, no, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me. I don't know anything, someone threw a gun out of the dark, right at my feet. I didn't know what it was, so I picked it up. No Me, not me, not me." It's jazz singer Hisako.She dropped the pistol, weeping, screaming, choking—suddenly, she was blue and stiff as wire. "Danger!" Fei Sazi fell into Wu Lang's strong arms like a dead wood.She was hysterical.The proprietress Xuezhi squinted at all this with sharp eyes. "I'm a policeman." The important witness was killed, and the waiter Li police officer was furious.His eyes flickered, and he looked around, "No one is allowed to leave here without permission!"

The police officer greets his subordinates.There are two detectives in the tavern, the Arai detective who has been guarding here since the evening, and the Kinoshita detective brought by the police officer.The officer whispered something in their ear, and the two parted ways. Officer Arai was walking towards the main entrance, just as he came across Tianyuntang who was looking inside with a surprised expression on his head. "Oh, Tianyuntang. Did you know that the power went out just now?" "Oh, it only stopped for a while, Mr. Detective, what's the matter? I think I heard gunshots..."

"Don't talk about this, after the power outage, did someone run out from here?" "No, nothing. Mr. Detective, what happened? There seems to be a woman shouting hysterically..." "Killed, someone was killed. Ah, by the way, you are also one of the witnesses, go in and wait." "This, this..." Tianyuntang was not very scared, he borrowed slippers and walked into the tavern slowly. Another Kinoshita detective went inside, borrowed a phone, and hung up the police station.Then look out from the kitchen and call a colleague.Although the wine shop here is next to the main entrance, the kitchen is in the hall.

"Who turned off the light?" The three people in the kitchen looked at each other without answering. "Where is the switch?" The head chef pointed to the corridor.The switch is in the corridor connecting the hall to the kitchen, which leads to the back door.In other words, if you come in from the back door, you can directly approach the switch without going through the hall and kitchen.At the same time, there is a toilet at one end of the corridor, and the guests in the hall can also approach the switch when going to the toilet. "Who turned off the light?" Detective Kinoshita stared at the three dumb cooks, and suddenly asked, "Who turned on the light?"

"It's me." The head chef, as fat as a beer mug, replied slowly. "you……?" "Well, yeah. I thought it was another power outage at first. Power outages are not unusual these days. So just smoked nonchalantly. Suddenly the gunshots rang out and I was startled. I looked out the window and there were lights everywhere else. .I felt strange, so I groped my way to the corridor and turned the switch..." The light came on with a snap. "So, you don't know who turned off the light?" "I don't know, the kitchen door is tightly shut." After listening to Kinoshita's report, Officer Waitori looked unhappy.

"So, here's what happened. Someone came in through the back door, or someone pretended to go to the toilet, came to the corridor, turned off the lights, and plunged the tavern into darkness. Then came to the entrance of the lobby and fired. Kinoshita-san, the bullet did indeed come from there side shot, right?" "Well, I think so. But, Mr. Inspector, there may be an accomplice. It may have been two people who turned out the light and fired the gun." "But no matter what, the murderer must be like a cat, able to see in the dark." "What?" Police Officer Waiting Li and Kinoshita Detective were shocked, and when they looked back, they saw Tianyuntang standing behind them.

"who are you……?" "I'm Tianyuntang, a fortune teller with a stall outside the door, and I want to remind the police officer." "Do you need to remind me of this kind of thing? Don't bother me, just go and stay there!" "No, Monsieur Inspector, I want to remind you more than that. The murderer may have come in through the back door, or he may be among the guests. Perhaps he may be among the cabaret waiters. But in any case, the murderer is still in the tavern." Waiting for the force, the police officer couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How do you know?"

"Isn't there a pistol?" "pistol?" "Yes, why did the murderer throw the pistol out? If he escaped in secret, there is no need to throw the pistol. Even if he wanted to throw it, there are plenty of places to throw it outside. Throwing the pistol here is evidence that the murderer is still here Considering that there will be a body search later, the pistol must be thrown out as soon as possible." With a smile, Tianyuntang pressed the black hat that was about to slip off with one hand, nodded slightly, and walked away. Detective Kinoshita looked at him suspiciously, and cursed: "MD!"

However, the police officer Waiting Power still felt that the Tianyuntang hypothesis had a lot of truth.
