Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 368
"Master Hayato, do you know that Kanedaichi is actually the grandson of the famous Kanedaichi Kosuke!" Tong Shanhuan said, "No wonder he knows so many things!"

Tongshan Huan didn't have to go to school today, so they had a lot more time to interact with each other alone. The Xunren took the opportunity to ask about what happened last night.

There was a commotion in the middle of the night last night, and even he, who was in a remote room, was woken up. It's a pity that he can't go out casually, so he can only bear it.

In the early hours of the morning, he heard the sound of police sirens. Even at breakfast, a servant brought some food over. It seemed that something serious happened last night.

Sure enough, Tong Shanhuan said that there was a murder case last night, and the deceased was Saburo Akanuma.

The Sundaer was quite surprised, because it was different from what he expected.

According to his prediction, the ones who have conflicts in this family are the mother and son Ryunosuke and Murano Seimaru, and the one who died is likely to be one of them.

Unexpectedly, the first person to die was the mysterious person who had just arrived at this house.

(The word "first" is used because he cannot be the only one to die. Based on past experience, there is no case in which only one person dies in any case Kindaichi solves...)

During the police investigation, due to the existence of "unknown" detectives such as Isao Kenchi and Kaneda Yiyi, the control of the crime scene was chaotic for a period of time, so it was not so strict, so the curious Tongshan Huan watched the police all the way. The preliminary survey and the preliminary reasoning of Jin TianYi.

According to Tong Shanhuan's narration, Xun Falcon probably understood the situation of the case.

When he was about to go to bed last night, Jintian received a call one by one, and the caller was Saburo Akanuma.

Saburo Akanuma told him that he knew the truth of the threatening letter and the true identity of the "Headhunter Warrior", but if he wanted to know, he and Mrs. Shino had to come to see him in the "Between Pinmen".

If you bring someone else here, he won't speak again.

But when the two of them came to the door between Pinmen, they found that the door was locked tightly, and they couldn't get in at all. At this moment, Saburo Akanuma's cry for help suddenly came from the room.

The two quickly fetched the key and opened the door, only to see a headless corpse.

There are only corpses, and the murderer has disappeared.

"Is this... a murder in a secret room?" the Sundaer muttered to himself.

"Hey, you said the same thing as that Jin Tianyi again." Tongshan Huan said.

"[Between the doors] You don't know that there is only one window with railings in the room, and there is no large furniture. Since the door is locked, the murderer must have no way to escape. There is even a hiding place. There is no place. But the murderer still disappeared, isn't that just murder in a secret room!"

"You're right, do you know how the murderer escaped?"

"Don't tell me, I really have an idea."

"Net bragging ~"

"It's just an idea!" Sunda Falcon said, "I don't have as much information as you know. If there are any mistakes in this idea, you have to point it out!"

"Okay, then I'll hear what you have to say!"

The Sundaer organized his language and articulated his initial thoughts.

Although he didn't know who the murderer was, he believed that Saburo Akanuma's death chamber was an elaborate hoax.

The phone call to Kazuhiro Kaneda was actually part of the scam. At that time, Saburo Akanuma should have just been beheaded in the "Between Fighting Gates".

Otherwise, the time of death may not match.

On the one hand, the purpose of the phone call was to get Kazuhiro Kaneda and Mrs. Shino, two people representing outsiders and family members respectively, to testify that the "Headhunter" had indeed disappeared.

Any one of them going alone will not gain the trust of another group, and the effect of the murderer's secret room trick will be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, it may be to create time for the murderer to escape.

The reason why "Between the Door" is a secret room is because it only has a big locked iron door and a window with iron railings. Saburo Akanuma called for help, and it took only a few minutes for Kaneda Yiyi and others to open the door and enter. , the murderer had nowhere to escape.

But what if the murderer was not in the room at the time?
"That's impossible. Kindaichi and Mrs. Murasaki both clearly heard Akonuma Saburo's cry for help." Kiriyama Tamaki retorted.

"There is a thing in this world called a tape recorder..."

"But the police didn't find the tape recorder at the scene!"

"Not finding it doesn't mean it didn't exist at that time. The murderer couldn't get through that window, but a radio could."

"In that case..."

"The murderer can deliberately record the murderer's voice calling for help when killing Akanuma Saburo, or simply record his own disguised voice. Anyway, Akanuma Saburo is a stranger to everyone in this family. Then the murderer put the tape recorder by the window, Press the play button, because there was a long blank space in front, so that passage was played when Jin TianYiYi and others came. The murderer calculated the time and took back the radio outside the window, so that when Jin TianYiYi and others came When a person enters [between the doors], he finds a secret room with only corpses but no murderer."

Narumi Asai also used this trick, so the Sunda people were the first to think of this trick.

"But how to recover that radio? There is a cliff outside that window!"

"The murderer only needs to use the crossbow that Dad collected to complete the operation of recovering the radio!"

Although there is a cliff over there, the distance to the other side of the river is less than ten meters away, not to mention that there is a forest on the other side with many thick trees.

The murderer tied one end of a long string to an arrow and the other end to a radio, and then shot the arrow through a window onto a tree trunk on the opposite bank.

The next step is simple. The murderer only needs to go to the other side of the river, wait for the calculated time to arrive, and then follow the rope to recover the radio in the "Between Pinmen" on the other side of the river.

"But if you follow the rope to recover, the radio will definitely bump into the cliff. What if the rope falls off?"

"It would only happen after the radio leaves the room. It doesn't matter if it falls off at that time. There is a fast river under the cliff, and the radio will be washed away. Besides, probably no one will think of this method, so no one will I will go out of my way to find it.”

"You said that no one would have thought of it, didn't you just think of it?" Tongshan Huan looked at Sunda Sunren with adoring eyes.

"This is just my random imagination. It may not be the truth. Besides, I have no way of knowing who the murderer is based on this alone. The only thing I know is that the murderer must be someone from our family. After all, not everyone knows that everyone in our family The phone number of a room, the topography of the mansion, and the location of the crossbow."

"Is it really Master Seimaru..."

"What did you say?"

"Actually... Many people said before that the missing Master Seimaru killed Mr. Akanuma, and then absconded in fear of crime."

"What, Seimaru is missing?"

"Yeah, he told Uncle Xiantian that he was going out for a while, and then he couldn't find anyone anymore."

"That's it..." Sununa thought for a while: "But Seimaru probably didn't have the motive to kill a stranger like Saburo Akanuma, right?"

"If you want to talk about motivation, there is one!"
