Conan's Almighty Extraction

The two locks on the door of Ms. Su Fang's bedroom are two different types of locks. One is the door handle lock that comes with the door, and the other is installed separately after inviting a psychic to do it. A padlock in an ancient style.

After carefully checking the door lock, the Mumu Police Department murmured suspiciously: "At present, the only place the murderer can enter and leave the dormitory is this door, and there is no other possibility other than that, so how did he do it?" Where did you lock the lock from the outside?"

Bai Yanzhenyu was also puzzled, touched his chin and said, "If you just twist the lock on the doorknob, you can lock the door with tools like fishing line. The problem lies in the padlock."

If you want to lock such a padlock, you must first close the door, align the key hole on the door and the door frame, and then pass the padlock's lock bar through the two lock holes on the top.

This series of complicated actions is impossible to complete outside the door, that is to say, someone must have locked the door from the inside.

In this way, the previous problem appeared. If the murderer locked the door inside, he would go out from the inside.

And if Ms. Su Fang locked the door, how did the murderer enter the room, kill her, and then leave the room.

Another point is that no matter which of these two possibilities it is, it will take a lot of time. Instead of setting up suspicious lines and making the victim look like he committed suicide, the murderer called the room to inform him before the murder. It's almost like deliberately attracting attention, what is the murderer's purpose?

Everyone was puzzled and could only continue to search for more clues, hoping to find the key to solving the case.

At this time, the forensic personnel came over with an evidence bag and reported: "Officer Mu Mu, the murder weapon has been found, and it is this knife."

Mori Kogoro took a look and reminded: "Officer Megure, this knife is an ornament that was placed in the mask hall before."

The forensics staff held up the evidence bag to let everyone see the condition of the murder weapon and knife, and continued: "This knife was found on the bedside table, but there is a strange thing, there is a lot of dirt on the handle of the knife. Blood."

Police officer Mu Mu looked at the blood-stained murder weapon, frowned, and analyzed: "Yes, this is indeed unusual. If the murderer killed Ms. Su Fang with the handle of the knife, it shouldn't be stained with so much blood. ah."

"In addition, on the masks scattered in the dormitory, there are also several masks that seem to have been splashed with the blood of the deceased."

At this point, the forensics officer took out an evidence bag containing a mask and explained: "This is the mask that fell on the bed. According to the blood stains, it was very close to the deceased, so it has the most blood on it. "

Mori Kogoro looked at the mask, which was covered with blood on most of his face, and guessed: "Could it be that Murder was wearing this mask when he committed the crime?"

"In that case, maybe the murderer will leave some clues at the murder scene," Police Officer Mu Mu looked at the forensic personnel and asked, "Have you checked the other masks?"

The forensics staff nodded, and replied with some doubts: "I checked, but the result is even more strange. The other masks only have a little blood stains on the mouth, only this mask is stained with a large area of ​​blood stains." .”

After Bai Yanmao squatted down and checked a few masks, he guessed: "Megure Police Department, in the legend of Shoble's mask curse, there is indeed the fact that he sucked the blood of the holder. The murderer probably wanted to make the scene conform to the legend. That’s why they smeared blood on it on purpose.”

At this time, another policeman came to report the inspection results around the house, and found no signs of outsiders coming in and out, that is to say, the murderer was among the seven people in the villa.

"The Mumu police department can actually further reduce the suspicion of the murderer."

Mori Kogoro showed a confident smile, and analyzed: "Ms. Su Fang lives alone on the third floor, and can only enter there from the stairs of the west side of the house. At that time, the mask hall in the east and west rooms was locked, so come with us. Mr. Lanchuan and Ms. Honami (the maid sister) who live in the East Wing can eliminate their suspicion."

"I see."

The Megure Police Department believed Kogoro Mori's reasoning, and followed his words: "In this case, the murderer is among Matsudaira Mamoru, Katagiri Masaki, Inaba Kazuyo, Nagara Haruka, and Shimokasa Minaho (the maid sister)." .”

"No, that's not necessarily true." Bai Yanzhenyu shook his head when he heard the words, and retorted: "Since the murderer was able to take away the mask in the Hall of Masks, maybe there will be keys to the doors on both sides, and the two people in the east wing will also Suspicion cannot be ruled out.”

"That's true, it seems that they are still possible."

The Megure police department nodded and agreed with Shiraiwa Maha's statement. After investigating the scene, they gathered the seven suspects together and asked them about their actions when the crime happened.

The maid sister hugged her sister and said: "At that time, I stayed in the room and slept. Later, Miss Maori came and woke me up, so we went to the wall next to the restaurant to get the key and locked the door of the mask hall on the second floor. Open it."

Lan Chuan Fuyao sat leaning on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "I slept soundly on the first floor, and although I heard them calling Hoonami to get up, I thought it was probably nothing serious. It was getting bigger and bigger, I was worried, so I went to the second floor to check the situation, only to find that the masks inside were gone."

Matsudaira Shou and others who lived in the West Wing also said that they were resting in the room at the time, and only ran out to check the situation when they heard the movement.

However, among the people in the West Wing, Inaba Kazuyo did not show up at that time, which aroused the suspicion of the Megure Police Department.

Inaba Kazuyo's eyes flickered slightly, and he explained: "I drank too much wine last night and fell asleep as soon as I went to bed, so I didn't hear any movement outside."

Mori Kogoro remembered the entrustment given to him by Ms. Su Fang, and asked Masaki Katagiri, "Mr. Katagiri, have you met Ms. Su Fang before?"

Masaki Katagiri was a little surprised, he didn't know why Mori Kogoro asked him this question, but he answered truthfully: "No, yesterday was the first time we met."

Mori Kogoro scratched his head and said puzzledly: "It's strange, if this is the case, then why did Ms. Su Fang entrust me to investigate your wife's car accident 20 years ago?"

After hearing Mori Kogoro's words, Conan immediately reacted. Under his reminder, everyone also knew that Aikawa Fuyuya's mother was the one who killed Masaki Katagiri's wife.
