Chapter 722 Refraction
Chapter 722 Refraction
“But that’s impossible to do.”
As if she had thought of something, Yuriko Yuri quickly spoke up to refute Kizuki Hotaru's idea.
"The Godzilla trilogy is recorded on the same film. This film has a special meaning. We will not cut it up and put it on two projectors. If you don't believe it, you can go to the projection room and see it!"
"Right now the film reels of the Godzilla trilogy are still intact, so it's impossible to switch midway!"
"Why isn't it possible?"
Kogoro Mori suddenly turned his head and looked at Yuriko Tori with suspicion.
"Although I don't know much about film, there must be an intermission between two movies, right? The people in the projection room can switch the projection holes during the intermission, right?"
It's not that he thinks Hotaru Kizuki's statement is convincing, he just thinks Yuriko Yuriko's statement is too far-fetched.
However, what Kogoro Mori did not expect was that Teruhito Iide whispered at this time.
"In fact, these two movies were broadcast seamlessly, because... because the deceased's behavior was too extreme, he drove away the last viewer besides me, and I was the only one left in the theater still watching the movie."
"As for me, I came here to take commemorative photos, and then while relaxing, I found Dean Muramatsu and asked if we could screen the entire trilogy at once, and Dean Muramatsu agreed."
“So, no matter who is in the projection room, it is impossible to switch the projection holes and machines in the middle of the show.”
————What are you doing? Why are you taking commemorative photos like this?
There was a hint of speechlessness in Kogoro Mori's eyes.
“But the pictures that have been taken don’t lie.”
Gui Yueying was not panicked by this.
She walked lightly towards the screening room, and everyone followed her, but the Elementary School Student Death went to the lounge alone. He wanted to see what this Yuriko Tomoko wanted to do.
Conan agrees with the young prosecutor's assessment of the nature of the case.
This was undoubtedly a homicide, not a suicide, because there was no reason for the deceased to commit suicide the day before the completion of the acquisition of Muxiang 7 Cinema.
Anyone who knows Zhang Tian Zhengci a little can see that this gambler only wants to get the theater, then sell it back for some cash and continue gambling.
If someone believes that a gambler who has the potential to get a new cash flow to recoup his investment or make a profit suddenly loses his conscience and commits suicide, then it can only be said that there is definitely something wrong with that person's brain.
The Death God Elementary School Student pushed open the door of the lounge and walked in, avoiding other sights.
Just by taking a quick glance, he noticed something very strange——
There is no mirror in the lounge.
Of course, normally speaking, it is not a very strange thing that there is no mirror in the lounge. After all, there must be mirrors in the bathrooms installed inside the cinema, and it is not unacceptable to look in the mirror in the bathroom.
However, it would be strange to have frames but no lenses...
Conan's eyes fell on the pieces of mirror fragments in the trash can.
It was obvious that someone smashed the mirror on purpose, but he didn't understand why that person smashed the mirror in the cinema lounge. Was smashing the mirror necessary for that person's action?
He took a handkerchief from his pocket and then picked out the broken pieces of the mirror one by one.
There was no need for him to put the mirror fragments together on the frame. Just a glance and the Death God Elementary School Student had already figured out what the fragments would look like when put together - there was no doubt that a large piece was missing.
These mirror fragments simply cannot completely fill the mirror frame, so it can be concluded that the person who smashed the mirror wanted to take away the relatively large mirror fragment——
But why must we have the mirror fragments in the lounge?
Conan put his fingers on his chin, pinched his chin subconsciously, and began to think.
If it was a prop that was essential for a cinema, it would be normal to steal it by smashing it or using other means, but it was different with mirrors, which could be bought anywhere.
Why does it have to be a mirror in the lounge?
Either the murderer had a reason to use the mirror fragments in the lounge, or he could only use the mirror fragments in the lounge to complete his crime, then——
"Is it because the murderer can't leave the Woody 7 Theater?"
The Shinigami pupil whispered.
The mirror in the lounge was broken during the screening of the first Godzilla movie and after the incident, because only during this period of time would the viewer who was driven away by the deceased be outside the theater.
If the murderer went out to buy a mirror at that time, he would be witnessed by the viewers.
Therefore, the murderer could only smash the mirror inside the lounge to complete his crime, and the person in the lounge at that time was undoubtedly Yuriko Yuriko————
But if it was Yuriko Yuri who smashed the mirror in the lounge, then where are the mirror fragments?
Conan couldn't come up with an answer.
If Yuriko Yuri is the murderer, then Yuriko smashing the mirror fragments has nothing to do with her action of killing Masatsugu Zhang Tian, nor does it have anything to do with the change of the projection hole mentioned by Hotaru Kizuki.
Unless, this mirror fragment is used in the projection room————
In other words, if Yuriko Tomoka was the murderer who created the mirror fragments and killed Masatsugu Ayata, then Furuhashi Nene was undoubtedly an accomplice.
"…I think it's the reflection of the mirror."
In the screening room, Gui Yueying said softly.
Although her voice was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly, which even surprised Yuriko Yuri.
As Yuriko Yuri said, the film reels of the Godzilla trilogy were not cut, but the projection holes did change during the seamless screening of the two films.
To achieve this, Guiyueying believes that a mirror can be used as an aid.
"This can be achieved by placing a mirror in front of one projector and positioning it at a suitable angle to refract the projected image to the other projection hole."
"But I have to admit that if I do this, light will definitely appear in the original projection hole, which will cause the image on the screen to have a double image..."
"Unless someone blocks the projection hole with some other means, so that no light is exposed."
The young prosecutor's gaze fell on the book placed next to the coffee cup on the table in the projection room.
"I think it should be the book that Mr. Guqiao placed on the table?"
