    "Dang~dang!"

    The huge bells rang from the bell tower outside, and countless clocks in the room also rang instantly. A hundred bells sounded at once, which was quite spectacular.

    But the sound of a hundred bells ringing in unison at this moment made the guests in the darkness slightly panicked, especially the person involved, Rikako Hoshina, and everyone around her.

    Because from the moment she blew out the candle, the movement around her never stopped.

    Sounds of scuffling, falling to the ground, cries of pain

    All kinds of sounds are mixed together, and there is darkness in front of you, so you can't see the situation, which makes people feel scared.

    Even because Tangze made too much noise, the people next to her unconsciously stepped back and squeezed her space, causing her to fall to the ground in a panic.

    ¡°And she was not alone, because after Tangze put down the murderer, several of them were tripped and fell by the prisoner. The scene was chaotic for a while.

    It means that Tangze's physical fitness is strong enough. Even if he is half-kneeling to subdue the prisoner, his other hand can push the person who is approaching him away. Otherwise, he may be hit by someone's butt or even fall down.

    And the chaos in the center also brings about the chaos in the periphery, just like a stone dropped into the water, after the ripples are shot out in the center, it is time to spread to the surroundings.

    Especially when the bell rang, the dining car was pulled by a huge force and accelerated towards the balcony, hitting many people and causing screams of pain.

    The unknown is the scariest thing, especially when the chaos in the darkness intensifies.

    And this chaotic scene did not last long, before the cake cart and the glass door of the balcony were hit hard together.

    "Bang!"

    The dull collision of wood mixed with the crisp sound of glass, and the cake on it had already been stuck on the door and rotted into a ball under the action of inertia.

    And this huge movement seemed to press the pause button on the banquet venue, causing the chaos to pause for a moment, but it was followed by even more terrifying chaos.

    "What's going on!? What happened!?"

    "what's the situation?"

    "What's the noise?"

    "A hundred bells are ringing together in the chaotic hall at this moment, which can no longer make people feel romantic, shocking or ritualistic.

    In this panic environment, everyone only felt that the person who was making noise with a hundred bells was panicking.

    "Turn on the lights! Hurry up and turn on the lights!!"

    After Tang Ze tied the murder weapon to the cake cart, he directly held down the prisoner. At this moment, seeing the chaos at the scene, he couldn't help but shout out to alert the housekeeper.

    "Conan, turn on the lights!"

    The huge bells and the surrounding chaos obscured his voice, but fortunately Conan was close and he was calm enough.

    So even though Karasawa's voice was not heard, Conan still made the clearest move in response to the current environment.

    After turning on the flashlight without hesitation, Conan did not let the flashlight shine around, but raised his wrist flat to let the flashlight shine directly on the ceiling.

    Just like those light-seeking moths chasing candlelight without risking their own lives, people who are trapped in darkness and panic at this moment are also attracted by the light the moment they see the weak light source in the darkness.

    Like a pair of invisible hands calming everyone¡¯s unknown fear, the guests were no longer anxious, but instead focused their attention on the lights one by one.

    At this moment, the bell that rang on the hour slowly disappeared, and the entire banquet hall gradually fell into darkness.

    "Hurry up and turn on the light!"

    Seeing that the situation was temporarily under control, Conan immediately shouted. Immediately, Mouri Kogoro also reacted and shouted again.

    "Compared to Conan, Mouri Kogoro's roar was very penetrating, and he quickly alerted the surrounding guests.

    ¡°Obviously, after a brief period of confusion, they all calmed down and understood what they should do most now, and they all shouted in agreement.

    And when he heard the shouts of the crowd, the butler named Qingmei who was standing in front of the light switch finally reacted from the panic before.

    Come here, get excited and quickly turn on the lights in the room.

    After he pushed the cake over, he actually stayed in front of the switch.

    The original plan was that he should have turned on the lights after Rukako Hoshina blew out the candles.

    But the sudden chaos made him panic, and the subsequent panic of the guests made him a little overwhelmed.

    But in fact, this is the normal reaction of ordinary people.

    &n?.

    And he also thought of a way to deal with the murder weapon.  "

    Speaking of which, Tangze stepped forward to the dining car that was stuck by the balcony guardrail. While wearing white gloves, he knelt down and said, "As you can see, the sharp blade on this umbrella is the murder weapon.

    I believe you can easily see now that there are ropes tied to it, and there are heavy objects below the line.

    Looking at the location, it must have been hanging on the hour hand on the bell tower above our balcony.

    Then wait for six o'clock, and the mechanism will automatically trigger.  "

    This is not a casual statement, but a conclusion that Tang Ze came to based on the landforms here and the time of the crime.

    And when he went to the bell tower, he not only paid attention to the rotation of the Gutan worshiping below, but also observed the hour and minute hands on the clock.

    After all, the element of "clocks" in this case is too obvious, and usually in situations like this, criminals will use such things to commit crimes.

    In order to facilitate everyone¡¯s understanding, Tangze described it: ¡°The tip of the minute hand above the hour hand is a spade, and the tip of the spade is a broken ring.

    And just prepare the rope in advance, then tie a weight on the middle part, and then tie a very sliding small ring on a section of the rope.

    Just put one end of the ring on the broken ring decoration at the tip of the minute hand of the bell tower, and then hang the middle part with the weight attached to the outside of the balcony guardrail.

    The other end of the empty rope was passed into the house through the gap in the balcony and tied to the murder weapon, and the trap was completed.

    After that, just wait for the moment when the room falls into darkness, tie the rope to the umbrella, and the preparations are complete.

    When it¡¯s time to blow out the candles, all you have to do is attack Mrs. Rikako Hoshina, and then wait for 6 o¡¯clock to come when the mechanism is triggered. After the short hand of the clock points directly downward, the small ring with the rope becomes broken and slips down through the gap.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    In this way, if he followed the original plan, Zhou Fangzhiqiu only had to kill the people, quickly close the umbrella and then let go. The umbrella dragged by gravity would knock open the balcony door and fall to the bottom of the balcony.

    The fishing line is not easy to find, not to mention that the part with the heavy object tied to it was not simply hung outside the balcony, but was placed under the well in the yard by the prisoner.

    In this way, the only conspicuous mechanism was eliminated, leaving only a few fishing lines hanging in the air.

    When the agency is dispatched, the heavy object will fall directly into the well with the rope and the murder weapon. This will not only destroy the murder weapon, but also create the illusion that the prisoner escaped from the balcony.

    ¡°In addition, as far as I know, the well will be sealed next week, and then the murder weapon will be destroyed and sealed forever.  "

    Speaking of this, the surrounding guests all showed astonishment, and Tang Ze saw everyone's expressions. After they had finished digesting it, he smiled and said: "Now that we have figured out the prisoner's plan, let me tell you what happened in the darkness.  .

    ¡°Because Mrs. Baoco specially asked me to investigate the case, I have read the threatening letter.

    Combining what I learned about the process of tonight¡¯s birthday party, I judged that the murderer was most likely to take action, so at the moment of urging the candle

    Always be on guard.

    Fortunately, I have good eyesight and can see roughly in the dark environment. In addition, I was standing next to Mrs. Baokou at the time, and I acted decisively when I heard the movement.

    After subduing the other party, I noticed that there was a rope tied to the murder weapon. According to experience, this is usually a trap made by the prisoner to discard the murder weapon.

    In order to avoid carrying a sharp knife in the air and causing casualties to the guests standing on the route, I entangled it in the cake dining car in desperation.

    This is all I did in the dark. I am very sorry that the subsequent commotion caused by the cake truck disturbed everyone. Fortunately, no one was injured.  "

    "That's it."

    "It's nothing. Instead, we would like to thank Tangze Criminal for your emergency handling."

    "Yes, otherwise we would be in real danger if we let the knife fly in the air."

    Some guests who realized that they seemed to be standing in front of the balcony door were even more frightened and thanked them one after another.

    For a time, the entire banquet hall echoed with sounds of relief and appreciation.

    Then the applause that came from nowhere quickly took over the venue, until finally the entire banquet venue burst into thunderous applause!

    Seeing this scene, Tang Ze was also caught off guard by the limelight. He didn't know why this scene happened.

    Fortunately, he was calm enough and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
