Inspector Yasa nodded: "According to the preliminary autopsy results, the cause of death of the deceased was indeed drowning. Considering the special nature of your magic props, there must be some reason why he failed to escape from the water tank in time."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and looked suspiciously at the two female assistants: "By the way, since the prerequisite for him to successfully open the water tank cover is that you secretly pull out the shaft of the latch on the top of the water tank, as long as you don't pull it out That shaft, he'll just drown in the tank, right?"
"Wait." The more the two beautiful female assistants listened, the more they felt something was wrong, "What do you mean? Do you want to say that we are the murderers?! Although that scumbag really deserves to die, how could we do such a thing as murder! See for yourself—"
The magician's ex-wife rummaged through her body, took out a long, thin metal shaft, and reached out to Inspector Asaph angrily: "This is the lock shaft on the water tank. We did pull it out. And the water tank cover must be It can be opened normally, didn’t you fiddle with that cover when you put Winterfell down just now, and you forgot about it yourself?”
The magician's girlfriend also took out the same metal shaft and dangled it with her fingertips: "Don't say that we removed the shaft later - from the beginning of the show to now, we have never been close to the water tank cover at all! "
Inspector Yasa looked at the lock shafts in their hands, and his momentum froze: "I did play with that cover, but your device looks a bit complicated. Before I opened it, I started artificial respiration..."
The screenwriter made a gesture: "After you left, I untied his feet from the water tank cover. The water tank cover was indeed opened with a single lift, and they did pull out the lock shaft."
Inspector Yasa looked at him, not convinced. After all, in his opinion, these members of the regiment were all in the same group, and the testimony between each other needed to be carefully considered.
Jiang Xia pointed at his apprentice, and pushed forward the progress of solving the case: "Mr. Ishida has not stopped filming before and after the 'accident' happened just now. Why don't you watch the video from that time again."
…
During the performance, two large screens were set up on both sides of the stage in order to allow the audience with seats at the back to see the situation on the stage clearly.
One of them shows the overall situation of the stage, and the other one is directly connected to the camera in the hands of the apprentice, and will show the close-ups of him on the stage to the audience simultaneously.
So the video clips in the hands of the police now also include images of the magician putting his feet into the lid of the water tank and asking his assistant to lock his feet.
Inspector Asa asked the police officer to rewind the video to the front and press play.
The two female assistants looked nervously at the replay of the video—being suspected by the police is indeed a tense thing, and they desperately hoped that this video could prove their innocence.
Soon, a close-up of the lock appeared on the screen. The slender white fingers of the female assistants grabbed the huge padlock and locked the water tank cover firmly.
According to the magic process, in the next step, they will secretly pull out the metal bolt on the lock shaft. However, when everyone held their breath to check, the screen turned and the camera pointed at the magician lying flat on the ground, and the magician waved his hand leisurely towards the camera.
Okiya Subaru shrank in the corner, looking at the high-spirited magician in the camera: "..." The momentum is quite handsome. It's a pity that I met Uzo, and I had too much material to write about, so I couldn't survive in the end...
The female assistants also stared dumbfounded at this transition. After a while, they came back to their senses and turned to look at the apprentice in charge of filming: "Why are you moving the camera randomly!"
The apprentice waved his hands innocently: "I didn't move it randomly, I moved it on purpose—if you see the metal shaft, our performance will be exposed."
The magician's ex-wife frowned helplessly: "You underestimate our hand speed too much. Even if we shoot at each other, as long as we maintain that angle, it's impossible to expose... Tsk, why didn't I find out that you still have this problem before. I should have taken the time to watch replays of your previous performances."
Inspector Yasa did not expect this person to turn around so coincidentally. But things have come to this point, it is impossible to travel back and reshoot. He sighed, and raised his chin towards the little police officer next to him: "Skip to the video of removing the lid of the water tank after taking out the dead."
The little police officer nodded and pressed fast forward.
Soon, he found the target scene.
On the screen, the magician who was smiling calmly just now has turned into a dripping corpse. Two female assistants supported his head and put him flat on the ground.
After that, the camera flickered, and it was aimed at Inspector Yasa who was undoing the lid of the water tank.
The middle-aged police inspector was looking helplessly at the complicated water tank cover in front of him. At this moment, Jiang Xia, who was helping the magician press his chest, looked down at the magician's mouth, hesitated for a moment, then turned to call him: "Artificial respiration!"
Inspector Yasa regained his senses, got up and ran over, and began to blow.
And as he left the spot, the camera also ran after him, and soon the water tank cover could not be photographed.
"..."
Inspector Yasa stared at the camera that turned away again, choking his breath in his throat. After being blocked for a while, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Xia: "What are you calling me for? Can't you do it for him yourself!"
"I'm busy doing chest compressions." Jiang Xia pointed to the screen, "Look, the water tank cover has been opened."
"!" Superintendent Yasa looked up, and saw that the noise from the water tank cover might have attracted the apprentice's attention. After filming artificial respiration for a while, the apprentice moved the camera to the magician again. feet.
In the screen, the screenwriter lifted the cover very smoothly, and released the magician's feet.
"It seems that the female assistants should have really pulled out the lock." Superintendent Asa touched his chin, and suddenly had a new object of suspicion. He looked suspiciously at the magician's apprentice:
"Why do you always fail to capture the key points? Also, when we were trying to rescue the magician when there was an accident in the magic show, you kept holding the camera and filming in an orderly manner, as if you were paying attention to his death. don't care..."
"Of course I care!" The apprentice raised his voice and interrupted him, "But I am not a medical professional after all, and you are already doing rescue work, so I will only get in the way if I squeeze in. As for the continuous shooting, it is because Master used to I said in the small talk—that if something happens to him, I must not stop filming, but record the situation at that time, because that will be the living proof that he is a professional magician.”
It sounds like quite passionate.
But this obviously couldn't dispel Inspector Asa's suspicion: "Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of one thing—during the break between the first half and the second half, you handed the magician a pill. What was that?"
