Chapter 36 Chapter 36 The Great Magic

While Detective Wise was speaking, Team Leader Nakamura saw the needles and said, "Mr. Wise, in my opinion, there are many things in this case that can't be justified by just making up things. Anyway, I want to break my head and think I don’t understand. For example, the masked man Shimada and Kinoshita were staring at in front of the antique shop at the beginning, he took off his clothes under their eyes and became transparent. How can this be explained? The two children can’t always be black Chuan's little follower." "It's like a marionette. A masked man walks into a broken house. The children hesitate outside the house, and the other party takes the opportunity to run outside the house. On the second floor, there is his accomplice, with black silk threads hanging from the cracks in the floor, Manipulating the same mask and clothes that had been prepared in advance, performed the removal of the mask and undressing, and also rolled up the clothes so that they floated to the gap in the side of the house. It was dusk and the light was dim, and the children of course couldn't see the thin black thread , and couldn’t distinguish the wires made into the shape of the shoulders, and was completely fooled. Kurokawa and the two children stalked together, and later chased and fought the stripped masked man alone, all of which were just his plays.

"Let's talk about the fact that Kinoshita-kun found the wax figure among the dummy models in the department store. The wax figure later escaped into the warehouse on the bottom floor of the department store. There were several large containers in it. The bad guys took off their clothes and hid them in the container, and threw them out. The door of the warehouse just happened to open when the mask was opened, so people saw the scene of the mask flying in the air." Team leader Nakamura asked again: "The transparent monster escaped from the warehouse and knocked down the shop assistant in the corridor and the porter who came downstairs. How can this be explained?"

"It's very simple, those two people are also Kurokawa's subordinates. Hahahaha... Kurokawa's idea is really good. One disguised as a shop assistant, the other pretended to be a porter, and they both pretended to be hit by someone. Another similar example Shimada-kun was in his yard and saw the roller skates moving by themselves. It was actually Kurokawa's assistant who tied the roller skates with a thin string and hid in the bushes to manipulate them." "The semi-transparent shadow of the strange man often appears on the window, accompanied by strange laughter. Could it be that..."

"Slides and ventriloquism. His assistant hid in the bushes outside the house, facing the window to make a slide of the strange man's profile, while Kurokawa dubbed it with ventriloquism in the room. As long as the window There must be a shadow of a weird person, Kurokawa must be present. Speaking with ventriloquism, the mouth is completely motionless, and others cannot tell where the sound is coming from. I think it is coming from outside the window, and it sounds like it is coming from outside the window. "I pretended to be a chef and sneaked into the strange old man's lair, and got a lot of information. The strange old man is actually Kurokawa! This Kurokawa has great powers and can become anyone. In addition to being a marionette, slides and ventriloquist, he He also knows shady magic and mirror magic. In order to create a transparent weirdo, Kurokawa used almost all the magic tricks. This incident is like a magic garden.

"Otomojiu climbed to the roof of the car, followed the strange old man to the research room, peeped through the crack of the door into the bedroom of the transparent monster, and saw a guy with no face and no hands drinking water from a glass. That was shady magic. On the wall of that bedroom Covered with a black curtain, in front of the dark background, Kurokawa's assistant covered his face with black velvet, put on black gloves, and performed this trick, which looked like a transparent person drinking water. "Later, Dayou-kun was transformed into a transparent person by the strange old man. He himself believed in this. After I rescued Dayou-kun, I listened to him explain the ins and outs. The strange old man injected sleeping pills into Dayou-jun and tied him to a chair. On one wall of that room there was a small mirror with a side length of 30 centimeters. When Otomo-kun woke up, he found that the mirror in front of him reflected his upper body. The person in the mirror was indeed wearing his school uniform, but not The head, where the head should be, appeared on the wall behind him. Otomo-kun was tied behind his back to the chair, so he couldn’t touch his face, so he had to shrug his shoulders. Unexpectedly, the person in the mirror also shrugged, so he decided that the person in the mirror was I was scared out of my wits, thinking that I had become a transparent person.

"This is mirror magic. The wall in front of Otomo-kun is just an ordinary transparent glass. Behind the glass, there is a real mirror at an angle. On the side of the mirror is a person wearing the same school uniform, only showing his upper body. The board of the color of the cement wall covers the head, and the image of this person in the mirror, in Otomo-kun's eyes, is a self that has lost his head. When Otomo-kun moves his shoulders, the man also moves his shoulders. Everyone knows this trick. "Otomo-kun was convinced that he had been transformed into a transparent person and was locked in a dark room. Later, Nakamura-kun, you, Kurokawa, and Kobayashi entered the air-raid shelter, and heard Otomo-kun calling for help from the cage. In fact, there was nothing there, but Kurokawa used ventriloquism to imitate Otomo-kun's accent.

"Then another transparent weirdo broke in, wrestled with Otomo-kun in the prison, and finally hijacked him and escaped. In fact, it was also Kurokawa's ventriloquism, which vividly imitated the panting sounds of the two characters. Kurokawa then Opening the prison door by yourself, faking the effect of a transparent person rushing out of the door, and deliberately falling to the ground, pretending to be knocked down by a transparent person, this is all Kurokawa's one-man show. Nakamura-kun, the mystery is almost solved, you still have Do you have any questions?" Detective Wisely smiled, as if the teacher was patiently answering students' questions.

"It's really amazing to look at the problem from behind. As long as you realize that Kurokawa is the culprit, other problems will be solved. You are always so discerning, you can't accept it. Kurokawa is full of bad things. But you missed two things. First, the Pearl Tower in the Shimada’s basement was stolen, and second, maybe you don’t know it yet, the clown disappeared in the phone booth last night. How can this be explained?” Then Nakamura briefly described the event of the clown’s disappearance. The detective immediately gave an answer: "After listening to my reasoning just now, you must have a rough idea, let me talk about it. Of course, the Pearl Tower was stolen by Heichuan. At that time, Heichuan received a piece of paper floating in the air. The article said that he wanted to steal the Pearl Tower, which was thrown out by Kurokawa himself and then caught. It was as simple as that. The same method was used to steal the Pearl Tower.

"When Shimada-kun's father saw the note, he and Kurokawa went to the warehouse in the basement to inspect the Pearl Tower. Herokawa stole the Pearl Tower at that time. Who told him to be so clever? The next night, how many of them He squatted in front of the safe and waited for someone to steal it. How could he know that the safe was empty. At that time, it was Kurokawa who created the atmosphere of the monster invasion. Speaking of which, ventriloquism is really a good skill, and it can create superb effects. "As for the disappearance of the clown you mentioned just now, I need to verify the facts. Now it is speculated that this is the case. The driver who saw the clown entering the phone booth walked away for a while to report the situation to you. The clown took advantage of this gap and took out another phone booth. An outfit hangs from the top of the phone booth, jams the door as he leaves, and slips away.

"When you came to see the clown outfit hanging in the phone booth, you decided that this was the clown from just now. Of course you were shocked when you found out that it was just empty. At this time, Kurokawa's ventriloquism came in handy again. He always stays with you Together, we will use ventriloquism to deceive you again and again." As soon as Detective Wise finished speaking, the head of the investigation section, who had been silent all this time, couldn't hold back and said, "Detective Wise, you are so perceptive. Any puzzle that meets your wisdom can be easily solved, and his crime tactics are now revealed to the world. .However, I still have a doubt. I don't understand why Kurokawa is playing these tricks in such a big way and fabricating a transparent weirdo? I think you already know the answer."

"Of course I know. This is the subtlety of this case." Zhizhi continued to express his opinion with a smile on his face.
