Chapter 616 Accidental Death? (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket and Subscribe!!!)

"ah!!!"

Something unexpected happened!

The audience looked at Captain Haneda on the stage stupidly and looked at each other.

They didn't react until the female partner hanging high in the air screamed.

This is not a show!

After a breath of silence, the audience began to make noises. Some people were busy taking pictures, while others were using their mobile phones to call the emergency number.

even

There is also a reporter sitting in the corner, writing as fast as he can.

"Something happened!"

Conan, who was holding a bag of potato chips, reacted immediately, threw the bag away, jumped off his seat, and ran straight to the stage. While running, he didn't forget to turn around and shout:

"Lanne-chan, call the police!"

Sakaki held his forehead and let out a long sigh.

Nothing to say.

What is coming will always come.

Even without Conan, the murders that should have happened would still have happened.

To be precise

Conan was not the perpetrator of the murder, he just happened to happen to it.

Although the times are a bit more.

"Captain!!!"

Many people rushed out from behind the red curtain.

They are dressed in weird clothes and are all members of the circus.

"Don't touch him!!!"

With loud shouts, Conan squeezed out the crowd surrounding Captain Haneda:

"If he has a broken bone, moving around without permission will only make the injury more serious!"

As he spoke, Conan squatted down and found Captain Haneda's eyes wide open and a pool of blood under his body.

After touching the other person’s pulse and breathing

"No more"

Conan shook his head:

"I'm out of breath."

"Captain!!!"

The circus members let out a burst of grief-stricken cries, and some female members even started crying:

"Captain Haneda is our backbone."

"What will happen to Circus Sunshine if he dies?"

"Is it really going to be acquired by Monterey Circus?!"

A feeling of panic filled the hearts of everyone.

Everyone is worried about the future.

Apart from

"Shut up!"

In front of the crowd, Saijo, who played the clown, took off his hat and breathed heavily:

"Cirque Sunshine will never be acquired!"

"Captain Haneda has always said that only by uniting can we create the future of Circus Sunshine!"

"Instead of worrying about Monley Circus, we should remember the leader!"

After hearing his words, the members looked at each other and lowered their heads in shame.

yes

The corpse of the regiment leader was right in front of them, and he died with his eyes open.

The most important thing right now is how to handle the leader's funeral.

"But."

A member of the group asked:

"Why did the leader fall?"

"Is it because the lock is old?"

"No way"

Chinatsu, who was wearing a single ponytail, hesitated and said:

"We have to check the equipment every day."

"The lock was just replaced last month!"

"Let's wait until the police come!"

Saijo greeted:

"First find a piece of white cloth and cover the leader's body!"

After a while, someone took a white sheet and covered the body.

During this period.

Conan had already examined the body.

"Nothing special."

He said solemnly:

"Judging from the wounds, the skull fracture caused massive bleeding and he died from a fall."

"Um."

Sakaki nodded, took out a cigarette and lit it.

He watched the trapeze performance from beginning to end.

Because of the concentration, of course the details were not missed.

During the performance, Captain Haneda showed no symptoms of physical discomfort, and no one came near the stage.

Except for the last mistake

Everything works fine.

But it was this mistake that caused him to fall to his death.

It should be noted that height is not the only criterion that determines life and death, it mainly depends on the posture when falling.

Some people get up at night to go to the toilet and accidentally slip and fall to death.

And what about Captain Haneda?

When he fell, the rope around his waist pinched him, causing his head to fall, causing him to die on the spot.

On the surface.

It was indeed an accident.

Can.

In Sakaki's career, he has a habit.

As long as a murder occurs, no matter whether it is an accident or not, it must be investigated as a non-accident. This way, many details can be discovered and the criminal will not be able to hide the truth.

Normal people would use clues at the scene to collect evidence when solving a crime.

Sakaki Makoto is different.

He will put himself in the prisoner's shoes and think.

What should be done to restore this accident.

for example

Captain Haneda fell from a high altitude. The first thing to consider is how the prisoner knew he was going to perform a trapeze.

This alone can rule out most suspects.

The one with the greatest possibility of committing a crime

He looked around the stage. The circus members were all frightened and had different expressions.

These are the people.

This is just the first step.

After locking the scope, the next step is to consider what tactics the prisoner used.

The most important step is to fake an accident involving a fall from a height.

It's the safety rope on Captain Haneda's body.

If there was no problem with the safety rope, it would be impossible for Captain Haneda to fall to his death.

Think of this

Sakaki walked up to the crowd, lifted up the white cloth, and looked at the buckle around Captain Haneda's waist.

In mint condition.

The rope is also new and has no signs of breakage.

Under the strange gazes of the circus members, he looked up at the tower.

No ladder?

Raising his eyebrows, Sakaki asked:

"How do your circus and trapeze performers get up to the tower?"

Everyone looked at each other and someone replied:

“It’s very simple”

"There is a ladder behind the scenes. 20 minutes before the performance starts, the group leader and Xiao Qian will climb up the ladder."

"But there is only a steel cable between the two towers."

"Just crawl along the tightrope and it'll be fine."

The man curled his lips:

"The steel cable is 5 meters long and the safety rope is 7 meters long. In the past, the group leader would climb over with the safety rope tied on."

"But then the leader got older. Climbing the tightrope would waste a lot of energy. For the purpose of performance, Xiao Qian usually climbs it, right, Xiao Qian?"

The girl who had just come down from the tower nodded when she heard this:

"Yes, I have been responsible for climbing to the other side since 2 years ago."

"Wouldn't this be troublesome and unsafe?"

Conan shouted:

"What if it falls?"

"this"

Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment:

"What we train is trapeze artist."

"Besides, it has a safety rope attached, so there won't be any problems if it falls."

“The purpose of doing this is mainly to prevent the audience from seeing us.”

After a slight pause, she added:

"When the audience's attention is focused on the clown on the field, the leader and I will quietly climb up the tower to create a sense of mystery."

"This habit has been around since the beginning of Cirque du Soleil."

"It was decided by the group leaders themselves!"

The tower is about 14 meters high, and if you go up to the canopy, if you don't turn on the lights, it will be pitch black from the bottom up, and you can't see anything.

As Xiao Qian said, circus performances are mainly about shock. If the audience sees the performers sticking out their buttocks and climbing the tower,

The sense of surprise will plummet.

"Um"

At this time, Sakaki suddenly said:

"I want to go up and have a look"
