My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 823 Commit suicide, you bastard!

"So how did the murderer do it?" said Aihara Yoji with confusion in his eyes.

Hearing what Aihara Yoji said, Mao Lilan clasped her hands together in fear and said, "Is it really the ghost of Miss Xiao Huang?"

"How is that possible!" Aihara Yoji immediately retorted.

Kogoro Mouri looked at his daughter speechlessly, but he was helpless about the secret room in front of him, and his expression was very solemn.

Conan also looked solemn [Perfect secret room! ]

Aoki Matsu thought about it, whispered a few instructions to Detective Dengmi, and then took his men to another secret room.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw the crowbar thrown on the ground by Kogoro Mouri, and then there were broken pieces of posters all over the ground just one step away from the door.

Maori Kogoro noticed Aoki Matsu's gaze and said, "Last night in the meditation room, there were more than a dozen posters of Miss Xiao Huang that were used as props for the séance. They should have been brought here, torn up, and thrown away."

Qing Musong frowned when he heard this and asked, "Why would the murderer go to so much trouble to do this?"

The posters are quite large and need to be torn into pieces smaller than the palm of your hand. There are more than a dozen of them, so it is a lot of work and takes a lot of time.

If the murderer was standing at the door and tearing the paper, wasn't he afraid that someone would suddenly come looking for Hirasaka Reiki and accidentally discover that Hirasaka Reiki was dead?

If you're not tearing it up at the door, why not throw it somewhere else?

Or just not tear it at all?

And the place where it was lost is also quite strange.

If the intention was to create a scene where Miss Xiaohuang was seeking revenge after her resurrection, then these fragments should have been thrown all over the room.

Only in this way can you feel that terrifying feeling.

But now, there is such a large pile of them in front of the gate.

To be honest, Aoki Matsu didn't feel scared, instead he felt like it was a bunch of garbage.

Maori Kogoro felt a little ashamed when he heard this and replied, "I don't know yet."

Qing Mu Song asked the detective in the forensic department: "How is it?"

"Inspector Aoki, it seems that a cyanide-based poison was used," Detective Tomi's daughter replied, "and it was probably mixed into the red wine."

Hearing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Maori Kogoro and confirmed, "This place is undoubtedly locked, right?"

"Yes." Maori Kogoro replied, "Because the key here is only owned by Mr. Hirasaka himself." Maori Kogoro bent down and picked up the crowbar. "We had no choice but to pry open the door."

Hearing this, Qing Musong looked at the people inside and asked, "Did you find the key?"

"We searched the drawer of the table but didn't find it. The only one left is the drawer over there." Detective Dengmi's daughter answered as she searched the cabinet against the wall next to the master bedroom door.

After trying to pull the drawer, Miss Tomi looked up and said, "Inspector Aoki, this place is locked, but it's just a simple closed lock." After that, she turned the lock handle on the outside of the drawer and pulled out the drawer.

There were some small gift boxes in the drawer. After checking them, Detective Dengmi's daughter said, "Ah, there are two keys in the box inside."

After taking photos for record, Detective Tomi's daughter took out the key and tried it on the door lock of this room. "It should be this one, but the lock core was crooked when I pried the door open, and now it won't turn."

"That key is made in Germany. It would be difficult for ordinary people to copy it easily." Kogoro Mouri said quickly.

"If you want to lock this door, you will need this key whether from the outside or the inside." Aoki Matsu said after looking at the door lock.

"Yes, this kind of anti-theft door lock must be locked with a key." Detective Dengmi's daughter replied.

At this time, Maori Kogoro said again: "The other one, I feel it may be the key to the Nanjing lock."

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong immediately ordered: "Go and confirm it immediately."

"Yes!"

Then Qing Musong asked again: "Has the rope that fell on the ground been confirmed to be the murder weapon that strangled Miss Jingjing?"

"Although it must be confirmed through detailed inspection, judging from the thickness and the marks of strangulation, it is very likely the murder weapon used to kill Miss Akiko." The detective in the Forensic Division replied.

Qing Musong looked around the room and set his sights on the windows facing outwards. "What about these windows?"

"Several of the windows were locked from the inside, and there was no way to get in or out of them because of the iron decorative panes on the outside."

Qing Musong said somewhat unsurprisingly: "This is also a secret room!"

"Yes, since this ventilation window can only be opened about 10 centimeters, the only entrance is this door."

Upon hearing this, Maruta Ayumi couldn't help but said with a headache: "The key to the door is in the drawer inside the room, and even that drawer is locked..." This is so difficult!

"No." Maori Kogoro suddenly said confidently: "From another angle, the method of committing the crime in this secret room can be easily solved!"

"Ah!" Everyone looked at Kogoro Mouri.

Aoki Matsuya looked at Maori Kogoro, wanting to hear his ideas. Although Maori Kogoro's reasoning was usually wrong, he would occasionally get it right. This case was a mystery, so it would be nice to hear Maori Kogoro's "brilliant ideas".

Conan immediately pricked up his ears.

"It's suicide!" Kogoro Mori said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Qing Musong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

[Suicide, you bastard! Except for the case involving Yoko Okino, all other cases where Conan appeared were homicides.]

But Maori Kogoro is still making random inferences, "In other words, the person who killed Miss Akiko was Mr. Hirasaka. After that, he came back here, locked the room, and drank the poisoned wine prepared in advance. And maybe, the person who killed the editor Mr. Zenan was also Mr. Hirasaka.

The person who sent the text message from Ms. Akiko's phone was also Mr. Hirasaka. He planned to make everyone think that the protagonist of his comic book appeared in the real world and committed murders again and again to seek revenge. "

"How could it be suicide!" Aoki Song rolled his eyes at Maori Kogoro again. "If it's according to what you said, he shouldn't have set this place up as a secret room."

"That's right! The method of suicide can be easily exposed." Maruta Ayumi also said.

Maori Kogoro still believed in the "suicide" theory, and explained: "Hirasaka's comic is called "Black Magic Girl", right? The protagonist KIRA is the witch, so he wanted to make it look like he was using magic to make it look like he couldn't commit a crime!"

Aoki Matsu retorted, "If they really wanted to set up an impossible crime using magic, they should have set up something in this room as well. The way it is now doesn't remind you of "Maleficent: Black Magic Girl". There's not even a magic circle. And if that's the case, he shouldn't have committed suicide with cyanide, he should have hanged himself."

What is popular in the West is hanging and sentencing, not cyanide poisoning.

"Ah! This..." Kogoro Mori was suddenly at a loss for words and stammered, unable to utter a word.

Aoki Matsu thought for a moment and asked, "Detective Maori, when you left the meditation room, did you see Mr. Hirasaka lock the door of the meditation room with your own eyes?"

Maori Kogoro said quickly after hearing this: "Yes, only Mr. Hirasaka has the key to the meditation room. After the séance, I saw him lock the door from the outside with a Nanjing padlock. No one except Mr. Hirasaka can enter that room."

Aoki Matsu started thinking about it after hearing this.

First of all, it couldn't have been suicide, it must have been homicide.

However, the order in which the murderer killed people did not match the order in which Kogoro Mori and others discovered the bodies.

The murderer should have killed Hirasaka Reiki first, then found two keys in his room, locked the door of the master bedroom, left and went to the meditation room.

Oh, maybe it wasn’t the meditation room, but some other place where Akiko Utakura, who had an appointment with her, was killed.

Then he placed Akiko Utakura's body on the round table in the meditation room, designed a mechanism, and escaped through the window.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Then he returned to the master bedroom, threw the rope that strangled Akiko Utakura to the ground, opened the drawer, put the key to the Nanjing lock in the box first, then left the room, closed the door, and put the master bedroom key back to the master bedroom through the ventilation window on the door.

Then tear up the poster and throw it in, or tear up the poster first and then leave the room. As long as you use Akiko Utakura's phone to send text messages to a few people, immediately throw Akiko Utakura's phone into the master bedroom through the ventilation window, and then close the ventilation window, the secret room is complete.

There are three problems with this, however.

First, how did the murderer climb up to the window of the meditation room?

Second, what mechanism did the murderer design to make the window button of the meditation room pressed? Qing Musong had an idea about this problem, but he had never tested it. There is a big difference between theory and practice, so he can't say that it has been solved.

Third, how did the murderer put the key to the master bedroom back into the drawer, close the drawer again, and lock it?

As for the first two questions, Qing Musong still has some ideas in mind and may be able to solve them by experimenting.

But for the third question, Aoki Matsu needs to think carefully. This is not something that can be done by just throwing the key in or relying on the fishing line of an old actor.

This requires a mechanism that closes the drawer after the key is put in, and then locks the drawer with the key.

Is there such an agency?

If Conan wasn't here, and Aoki Matsu heard it somewhere else, he would definitely think that it was a wild fantasy that was completely unrealistic.

But since Conan is standing here, it means that there must be such a mechanism!

I thought about it, but couldn't think of anything. I had no inspiration.

Moreover, solving a case requires not only breaking the mechanism, but also finding evidence.

Aoki Matsu decided to question Ryuichi Mifune, Kani Yutaka, Hiroshi Yagawa, Kazuo Parknoki, and Maho Izumi first.

Finding faults is also a way to solve a case. There is no need to force the authorities.

So Aoki Matsu brought Maori Kogoro and others to the living room.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you when you're so tired, but I have some questions to ask you." Aoki Matsu said to the five people: "Last night, the body of Ms. Akiko Utakura was found at 1 a.m., and then you found the body of Mr. Hirasaka who died.

The estimated time of death for both of them is between 11pm and 1am. So I would like to ask everyone present, what were you doing during this time? "

Hiroji Yagawa was the first to answer: "The atmosphere seemed to become awkward after the séance last night." As he said that, he looked at Ryuichi Mifune who was standing aside.

Mifune Ryuichi responded, "So everyone went back to their rooms early."

Park Zhimu and Xiong said at this time: "It was about 10 o'clock in the evening."

Ke'erfeng said: "After I returned to my room, I kept praying from the bottom of my heart that Xiaohuang could really be resurrected, and I didn't close my eyes at all." After saying that, Ke'erfeng picked up Yayuanhuang's figurine again and rubbed it against her cheek.

What a pervert look!

"Maho, Mr. Mifune, Mr. Mori and I chatted for a while, probably around 11 o'clock," Yagawa Hiroji said uncertainly.

Conan immediately responded, "Uncle Yagawa, I remember that time, you talked to Miss Mirror on the phone."

"Yes!" Yagawa Hiroshi quickly took out his phone, checked it, and said, "It's 10:40."

After that, Yagawa Hiroshi said, "I remember that time, she said she had a headache."

Conan replied, "After that, Miss Izumi went to see her, right?"

"Eh?!" Izumi Maho was stunned when she heard that, then responded, "Yes, because I was a little worried and wanted to go to her room to see her. But Miss Akiko wasn't there, and since my room is next door, I wanted to wait for her to come back before giving her headache medicine, so I waited in the room. I didn't expect that she didn't come back after waiting for a long time, so I was very worried, so I went to find Mr. Maori."

Kogoro Mori nodded, confirming that Maho Izumi came to see him.

"Has anyone seen Mr. Hirasaka after the séance?" Aoki Matsu looked at the five people and asked.

Hiroshi Yagawa shook his head to indicate that he did not.

Ryuichi Mifune and Maho Izumi continued to shake their heads, neither of them had it either.

"That!" Park Nomu Kazuo said, "I talked about something in Mr. Hirasaka's room before returning to my own room."

"What did you talk about?" Aoki Matsu asked immediately.

Park Zhimu and Xiong's eyes were a little evasive. "We were talking about who replaced Xiaohuang's voice that we had designed in advance for the séance. But after about a minute, I went back to my room."

"Yeah." Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri looked at Kazuo Park with some suspicion.

Qing Musong thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you think of holding a séance?"

And it was a real dead person.

Shouldn't normal people avoid such things?

Except for Keerfeng, the fat otaku who seems to be a crazy fan.

Park Zhimu Hexiong said with some embarrassment and fear: "If you want to know why, it's because there have been rumors of Xiaohuang's curse in the fan club, and even a murder case has occurred..."
