Looking at the three leather suits, Conan walked straight over.
"So Onimare actually has so many spare sets of holsters? Strange, why do they look like the materials and sizes are different?"
Among the three leather cases on the hanger, two of them are smaller and the materials seem to be slightly worse, and there are even traces of mending in some inconspicuous places.
The third leather case is one size larger, and the material looks very good, with bright colors, giving people a gorgeous feeling.
"Hmm? Oh, this should be due to the four-piece system." Wu Wanying, who was standing by, took a look and replied casually:
“For special effects heroes like these, the suits are generally divided into two types: exhibition and combat, with two of each type.
What Katsuragi usually wears is probably for exhibitions. Although it is bright and looks good, it is actually not suitable for an actor to use for battle performances.
The stuntman Komiya is wearing a combat suit, which has been adjusted to accommodate the movements of the human body in some places. The material used is relatively cheap, so even if it gets damaged, it can be repaired at any time."
"If that's the case, then why are there differences in size?" Conan asked curiously. What Karasuma Ying said was a rare blind spot in his knowledge.
"There's nothing special about this. I think it's mainly because of the different body shapes of the actors. Katsuragi is taller, so the leather suit he wears is a little bigger, while Komiya is relatively shorter, so the leather suit he wears is made smaller accordingly.
After all, if the suit doesn’t match the actor’s body shape during an action performance, accidents can easily happen.”
"So that's how it is..." Patting his head, Conan looked at Karasuma Ying and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Sister Xiaoying actually knows about filming."
"Well, it's nothing. I just learned some of it when I was in the United States." Wu Wanying replied in a flat tone.
[So, Xiaoying, what weird things did you learn when you were in the United States? Why do I always feel like you learned a lot of things that most people can't use? ]
Just when Conan wanted to complain about something, Karasuma Ying found a bundle of ropes on a box on the shelf nearby.
This is not an ordinary hemp rope, but a bundle of ropes that should be made of some high-toughness material.
Picking up the bundle of ropes that seemed to have been thrown here casually, Wu Wanying keenly noticed that there were rough scratches on the inside of the ropes caused by intense friction.
At the same time, there are some special traces of paint left at one end of the rope.
"Strange, this paint..." After lightly touching some of the paint traces with his hands, Wu Wanying suddenly realized something and hurriedly ran to the three leather suits.
After quickly identifying the paint on the three leather suits, Karasuma Ying finally found traces of paint falling off on the waist of the exhibition leather suit worn by Katsuragi, as if it had been rubbed by something.
The paint on this patch is exactly the same as the paint remaining on the rope.
"So that's how he escaped?"

Chapter 178 The Fisherman Fishes with a Straight Hook
"Rum?"
In the cafeteria of Mika International Hospital, after hearing Vermouth mention this name, Shirakawa Jing was confused for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, she remembered what Vermouth was referring to.
"Are you talking about Rum's recent actions in Europe?"
I remember that Bai Heqing did mention to her two days ago that Rum wanted to make some big moves in Europe recently.
It is said that he discovered an extremely special mineral in a small European country through some channels. It is said that this mineral can release quite amazing energy under certain stimulations. Simply put, it can be used to make bombs.
According to Rum, even a thumb-sized piece of this special mineral can easily flatten a village after being detonated, making it a very efficient weapon.
The country where this mineral was discovered is called the "Kingdom of Andrew", a very small country in southern Europe that still retains a feudal monarchy.
According to Rum's idea, he wanted to directly get rid of the current king of this country, and then support his own people in the organization to take power and directly control this small country from the highest level.
The main cadres in Europe have different opinions on this. After all, although the Kingdom of Andrew is small, it is also an officially recognized country internationally. If one wants to carry out a coup in such a country, there are many internal and external influences that need to be considered.
In particular, the current king of the Kingdom of Andrew is called the "Holy King" by his people. It is actually not easy to overthrow such a king who is quite famous in the country.
As far as Shirakawa Jing knows, Shirakawa Qing has not made any statement on Rum's action. He neither supports nor opposes it, and it seems that he does not want to interfere.
The organization’s main leading cadres in European countries are also expected to hold an emergency meeting in the next two days to make a final discussion on this matter.
This is also a practice left over from Reger's time.
Today, most of the organization’s main leading cadres in European countries were promoted by Shirakawa Kiyoshi.
Shirakawa Kiyoshi has given them a lot of power in their respective regions over the last ten years of the Regal era.
Except for the promotion, appointment, removal and punishment of cadres, almost all other matters can be discussed by them together. After reaching a common plan, they will submit it to Bai Heqing, who will make the final decision.
This time, these cadres probably also want to adopt this solution to deal with it.
After all, this is because rum has an unstable foundation in Europe and the United States.
Over the past decade, Shirakawa Kiyoshi has thoroughly refined and taken control of the organizational management in Europe and the United States. This inertia of the Reger era is not something that Rum can reverse in the short term.
"Yes." In the headset, Vermouth's voice said slowly: "Last night, he made it clear that he would support Rum's action this time."
【A clear statement?】
Bai Hejing was a little surprised. She had been indifferent before, but this was obviously wrong.
"What does he think?"
"Ajing, what do you think?"
Although she was speechless about her mother's riddle-man personality, Shirakawa Jing was too lazy to complain anymore. She just thought about what Vermouth had said before and she realized the meaning of Shirakawa Qing's action.
"He was exposing himself deliberately."
But it's just another trick of the fisherman.
The only difference is that last time he used rum to fish, and this time he used himself.
In just a moment, Bai Hejing figured out the connection.
Last time, Bai Heqing at least prepared a bait, but this time he probably won’t even prepare a bait, and will probably just use a straight hook to fish.
As for whether he could catch the fish in the end, it didn’t matter. For Bai Heqing, as long as he could see the shadow of the fish clearly this time, it would be a success of the plan.
Only by knowing what kind of fish is hiding in the deep pool can he make appropriate arrangements later.
"So, you really don't know where he is now?" Bai Hejing asked again.
If her speculation was correct, after Shirakawa Qing made it clear that he would support Rum, his fishing plan had already been arranged, and his sudden disappearance only served to increase the authenticity of the fishing plan.
Next, he just had to wait for the fish in the deep pool to float up on their own.
"How could I lie to you about something like this..." After being repeatedly questioned by Shirakawa Jing, Vermouth sighed helplessly.
Bai Hejing has never been close to her since childhood.
This child is so similar to her father's previous personality...
"Did he leave any words?" Without further pursuing this topic, Bai Hejing asked.
"While he is away, the affairs of the Tokyo headquarters will be jointly managed by you, Jing, and Gin." Vermouth said.
"I understand." Bai Hejing just nodded when he heard it, his tone was flat, and there was no change in his expression.
She was not surprised by this, after all, she had guessed the answer before she spoke, and asking Belmode was just to confirm it again.
"Goodbye."
After getting all the information she wanted to know, Shirakawa Jing felt there was no need to continue chatting and decided to cut off the communication.
As if she felt that this word was a little too cold, she added another sentence at the end.
"I'm dead."
"it is good."
After hearing Vermouth's reply, Shirakawa Jing cut off the communication, picked up the empty plate, and left the corner.
[In other words, my father doesn't really care whether Rum's operation will succeed? ]
Thinking about this in his mind, after a not-too-long period of thinking, Shirakawa Jing finally made a decision.
On the other side, after Karasuma Ying and Conan returned to the studio, Officer Sato, who was still at the death scene, came up to them.
"Xiaoying, are you back?"
"What's wrong, Officer Sato?"
"The forensic police officers have just discovered two important pieces of evidence. One is the costume worn by the victim. The chest area of the costume was indeed severely damaged.
Although there is nothing wrong with the costume on the surface, its internal structure has already been destroyed and will break immediately with the slightest impact."
"Is it man-made?" asked Karasuma Ying.
"Yes, and inside the costume worn by the victim, the Forensic Department not only found the victim himself, but also his stunt double, Masaru Komiya's complete fingerprints." Sato Miwako replied.
"Then the second point is the air cushion that was smashed through by the victim. According to the report of the forensic department, there are also signs of human damage on the air cushion. The smooth gap was indeed caused by some sharp weapon.
Not only that, there are still traces of tape left on the breach by the vandals. The tape will fall off immediately if the air cushion is subjected to even a little pressure, and it cannot withstand the impact of falling objects at all."
As soon as Sato Miwako finished speaking, she saw Takagi Wataru walking over with someone.
This man has a strong physique but a face that looks like he's being bullied. He is none other than Masaru Komiya, the stunt double for Toma Katsuragi.
"Officer...um, what do you want to talk to me about?" Komiya Masaru looked at Sato Miwako with a serious face, fear and panic written all over her face.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Komiya, I just want to ask you something."
"Okay, okay..."
Sato Miwako showed a smile, and after Komiya Katsu reluctantly relaxed a little, she asked directly.
"After our investigation, we found that the costume of the victim had serious signs of human damage, and we also extracted your fingerprints from the damaged part of the costume. Mr. Komiya, can you explain this?"
"Uh, well, I..."
When Sato Miwako pointed this out directly, Komiya Katsu seemed a little flustered. He subconsciously raised his hand, looked around, and finally lowered his head, looking dejected.
Seeing this, Wu Wanying hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Komiya, although we cannot conclude that you are the murderer yet.
But because you are a strong suspect, if you have nothing to explain for yourself, the police can arrest you until the real murderer is found or your identity as the murderer is completely confirmed.
So, if you are willing, we also hope that you can explain yourself clearly here and clear yourself of suspicion."
After returning from the warehouse, Karasuma Ying was very clear that Komiya Katsu could not be the murderer. He did not have the necessary conditions to become the murderer. At most, he was an accomplice who assisted the murderer, and this was what she needed to distinguish at present.
"I understand..." Under Karasuma Ying's persuasion, Komiya Masaru sighed again and finally said, "Well, I did destroy Katsuragi's costume..."
"When did it happen? Producer Shibata also said that he had seen it..." Conan asked.
"So the producer saw it too? It was two days ago. After I got off work at Katsuragi, I sneaked to the warehouse by myself and wanted to ruin his costume... but, but!"
