Chapter 20 1. Akechi Kogoro

"Oh, don't tell me you are...impossible, this is impossible." Erlang showed a ghostly expression, and kept stepping back. "Do you know who it is?" Erlang hesitated, not daring to call out that name rashly, but finally he mustered up the courage to speak: "Akechi Kogoro..." "That's right." Kogoro Akechi, disguised as Otokichi, replied. "I don't believe it. Didn't you die long ago?" "Actually, am I standing right in front of you?" "But how to explain the obituary in the newspaper, the body beaten on the coast of Tsukishima, the farewell ceremony held at the residence of the Boyue police station, and the grand funeral?"

"Those are all means to deceive the enemy. The villain this time is a ruthless character with no precedent in the history of crime. He has a vicious mind. This is his murder of you after forty years of meticulous planning. The plan of the whole family. He even regarded me as the only stumbling block, and kidnapped me before the plan was implemented. The villain was extremely well prepared, and ordinary methods alone could not resist. For extraordinary events, extraordinary measures are needed. Bo and I After discussing everything, Yue co-acted the scene that was surprisingly successful. I deceived the newspaper and the world in order to paralyze the villains. In order to protect you at the Yucun family, the opponents must think that I am no longer alive."

Ah, Erlang finally realized.Every time misfortune happens, Yin Ji will show up at the scene, because he is a detective.Taeko was able to save her life in a critical situation, and Ichiro was able to survive the hourly guillotine because of Akechi Kogoro's timely rescue.Only now did Erlang realize that Zhizhi hit Taeko with a slingshot in order to prevent her from drinking the poisoned black tea.The villains do not know where they are lurking, and shouting may reveal their true identities.So wise and wise, he used the slingshot at hand to break the cup, so that Miaozi couldn't drink it.

"I understand. It turns out that I have been causing you trouble and sabotaging your plan. In this case, don't waste any more time. Let's go back to the theater and call the police as soon as possible." Now Erlang is extremely anxious because of his wise and calm attitude. "No, don't act rashly for the time being. You go home first, and I have to rearrange it." Zhizhi actually made a puzzling request. "why?" "I don't quite agree with the ordinary police. What's the point of pursuing it now that we know it's too late? Besides, the villain is good at deceit, and he dared to perform that unprecedented act in front of an audience tonight." A crime must have been prepared with a well-planned escape plan. It is obviously useless to inform the police to surround the theater at this time, and the scene must have been empty."

"So, what's the next step?" "Go home and rest. But you must not tell your family that I'm still alive, that's the most important thing. Leave the follow-up to me, and you don't have to worry about anything. Disguising as Yinji doesn't work anymore. I have to think about a different one." Program……" Wisdom fell silent for a moment.In the flickering light of the lighter, the muscles on his face tensed instantly, and his eyes shone with an indescribable light.He bent his slender body with lightning speed, and then jumped up suddenly.There was a scream of "ah" in the darkness four or five distances away. It turned out that the guy turned back to peep at the two people just now, and was hit by a stone by Zhizhi.

"Catch up!" Zhizhi roared, and ran wildly.The retreating villain flew through the dark forest like flying.The fugitive and the pursuer rushed out of the forest at the same time, running into the small town in the dead of night like a black whirlwind. "It's really stupid. Since that guy was in the forest until just now, it's too early to despair... There is still a chance, maybe the leader of the villain is still in the theater." Zhizhi chased, intermittently blaming himself. The leader of the villains still doesn't know that Yoko's body has been found. According to his bold and arrogant character, he may still continue to perform magic tricks on the stage.

Erlang, who was chasing the murderer together, knew that there was still hope to catch the enemy who killed his lover, and his chest once again uncontrollably filled with incomparable hatred for the monster clown. He wished he could trample that bastard to death, cramping his tendons, peeling his skin, gouging out his eyeballs, pulling out his teeth... none of this was enough to satisfy his hatred. The two pursued were like horses on the field, with their necks stretched out, and they kept leaning forward at a forty-five-degree angle.Since it was a rural town late at night, no one came up to ask what was going on along the way.

The distance between five rooms was shortened to four rooms, followed by three rooms and two rooms. Of course, the enemy also ran desperately.Obviously only a little bit short, but still can't catch the other party.The wise right fingertips even touched the villain's shoulder at one point, but unfortunately, he had already reached the finish line. The gate of the theater faced the main road, while the entrance and exit of the backstage were located in a dead-end alley on the side, and the thieves naturally ran into it. Since the villain ran back to the theater, it means that the leader is still in the theater.The loyal subordinate must have fled backstage in order to inform the leader.

"Erlang, you are here to monitor. The backstage exit is a dead end, and there is only one escape route. If someone who looks like a magician comes out, don't hesitate to arrest him immediately. Also, tell the gatekeeper to call the police. Zhizhi left Erlang behind, and ran into the backstage like a gust of wind.
