Yusaku took Ming Yue into Officer Megure's car, and they rushed to their destination quickly. It was raining heavily outside the car window.

Mingyue sat in the back seat of the car, holding the big black umbrella cautiously with both hands.

This was probably my first time traveling in a police car. Although they refused to go with Kudo Yusaku, both Kudo Yusaku and Officer Megure thought the rain was too heavy and it was not safe for a girl like her to walk in such heavy rain.

Mingyue said they could take a taxi, but Officer Memu decided with a wave of his hand to take the two of them back in person after solving the case. After all, they were neighbors and not too far away. Giving one away was a gift, and sending two was also a gift.

Moreover, Officer Megure also wanted to ask Mingyue to come over and see if there was anyone she knew or was familiar with. After all, he didn't know whether the car crashed into Monáe's house on purpose or by coincidence.

However, Ming Yue is worried that if she is so close to people from the Metropolitan Police Department, will it arouse the vigilance of those in the organization, and will she be silenced by Ginjiu?

Skull hurts...

Officer Megure looked through the rearview mirror and looked at the two people in the back seat of the car. He couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "It's raining so heavily today, why are you two in the coffee shop downstairs of Maori's house? "

Mingyue was thinking about how to say it appropriately. If she said that CIA agents came to ask her about something, would that also alert the Japanese police? Just when his mind was full of excuses, Kudo Yusaku spoke.

"Because there are some things that need to be investigated." Yuzuo said, "By the way, Thirteen, did you find anything about the charred corpse?"

After taking a big breath, Officer Megure said: "There are too few clues left on the body. I originally thought that the case would be solved by finding Naoto Nagamori, but who would have thought that he would also die, and he would die in the secret room, Yusaku." , you must help me!"

The rain seemed to be endless. Mingyue looked through the front windshield and saw a black Porsche approaching. When the two cars met, Mingyue saw Gin holding a cigarette in the Porsche.

Gin glanced at the police car driving past.

The rain was heavy and blurred the vision.

In Kudo's house, Yukiko brought the dried clothes to Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, you can stay here today. I have already talked to your mother on the phone. It rained too much, and she has something to do." I can’t come to pick you up.”

"But I haven't made dad's dinner yet." Mao Lilan looked at the rain outside and frowned slightly.

Yukiko said a little unhappy: "That guy is so grown up, he can handle it himself."

After Kudo Shinichi walked around the house, he asked: "Mom, where is dad?"

"Officer Megure invited him to solve the case, so he is not at home." Yukiko thought in her mind that Yusaku, a mystery fan, should be seriously thinking about the secret room now, but is it really good to bring Mingyue there? Yusaku must be measured.

"Eh?! When did dad leave?"

Yukiko raised her eyebrows and said, "This is a secret." She thought to herself: Yusaku will bring Mingyue over for dinner soon, and Megure Thirteen may also come. What should I do in the evening?

Yukiko walked into the kitchen and started thinking about what to have for dinner.

At this time, Mingyue and his party had arrived at the crime scene.

This is a somewhat dilapidated three-story building. Looking from the outside, every window is blocked by iron bars. It is said that because burglaries often occur here, the owner of the house installed iron bars. .

The same is true for most of the surrounding building windows.

Entering the small building, there is an entrance hall on the first floor, and then there is the hall, open kitchen and a small toilet. Go up the stairs to the second floor. The secret room is in the only room on the second floor.

The deceased was a man with thick lips and round eyes, but they were small. He was lying on the floor with a bullet in his right temple and the pistol dropped to his right side.

"Did the deceased commit suicide facing the wall?" Officer Megure looked at the position of the body and asked.

"The report seems to be like this so far. Judging from the blood stains, it is indeed true. There is no sign that the body has been moved. And we found a suicide note that he tore up in the trash can." The police officer reported to Officer Megure.

Officer Memu looked at the put together suicide note. The suicide note read like this:

"I know that my sins are serious, so I decided to end this life. May God forgive me."

Officer Megu frowned as he looked at the unclear statement, then looked at the body on the ground, and frowned even more. Brother, can you clearly describe the so-called sins? You're so confused. I can't figure it out. Where did the body in your car come from? Please explain it to me.

Mingyue looked around the second floor. In addition to the stairs, there was also a narrow corridor. There was a window and a door in the corridor. The window was sealed by an iron fence. The direct gap in the iron fence was only fifteen centimeters, which was about the size of a pen. length, and that goes for all the windows in the house.

But that door is very special. It is different from the paper sliding doors of other Japanese houses. Its material is very smooth, probably plexiglass, with a wooden board sandwiched between two layers of plexiglass. The door is not thick, about three centimeters, but it is very solid and the hinges are intact with no signs of being removed.

The door opens indoors, and there seems to be a homemade latch inside the door. The latch is made of solid wood, about two or three centimeters, can be moved like a latch, and can only be used from the inside. Once locked, the door cannot be opened from the outside without violent force.

(PS: As shown in the picture, the door latch has a similar structure)

Now the door latch is broken. From the fracture, it looks like it was just broken. The broken position of the door latch is basically at the crack of the door. It seems that it was violently broken from the outside.

Moreover, the footprints of kicking the door and several parallel scratches can be seen from the outside of the door corresponding to the door latch.

The length of the connection between the door leaf and the door frame is nearly 2 centimeters. It is basically impossible to move the door latch with a card or the like from the outside.

(PS: As shown in the picture, the overlapping part of the door leaf and the door frame is the overlap size.)

Moreover, the edges of the door leaf and door frame are relatively sharp. This door must have been made not long ago.

The indoor floor is wooden, but it is covered with a carpet made of artificial leather, which is smooth and smooth, and seems to reduce the noise made when walking on it.

There were two windows in the room, but they were sealed. The head of the corpse was facing the white wall. There was a bed and a safe at the feet of the corpse. The safe was opened and there was nothing inside.

The safe has an image of an ouroboros on it.

(PS: As shown in the picture, the second floor plan, let’s just look at it, the level is limited.)

Mingyue narrowed her eyes when she saw the ouroboros pattern.

Kudo Yusaku saw Ming Yue staring at the safe, so he walked over and also discovered the Ouroboros pattern, and said: "Ouroboros, this pattern is very meaningful. It is created and destroyed at the same time, construction and destruction. Back and forth, the alternation of life and death.”

Mingyue looked at Kudo Yusaku and said, "Uncle Yusaku, are you very knowledgeable about this?"

"No, I just felt it."

The corners of Ming Yue's lips curled up and she said, "Ouroboros, eternal life in an infinite cycle."

"Yusaku, do you have any thoughts?" Officer Megure also came over to look at the safe, his eyebrows furrowed in a circle, "Whether it is the suicide note or the scene, it looks like a suicide, but the empty safe makes people... It feels weird.”

Kudo Yusaku said: "What's even more strange is the torn suicide note, but can you tell me what you know now?"

Officer Megure sighed and slowly told what he knew:

"We followed previous clues to investigate Naoto Nagamori's relatives and friends, as well as the people who suddenly bought a lot of easy-to-store food, and then found this place through inquiries. On the way here, we received an alarm saying that gunshots were heard. Wait for us When we arrived, Naoto Nagamori was already dead, and the door was locked from the inside."

Yusaku asked: "Who broke in?"

Officer Megure thought for a while and said: "He is one of ours. Shusuke Tezuka, who lived on the third floor of this house at that time, was also knocking on the door and then kicking it. However, the door was really strong and he did not kick it open. It was our people who spent a lot of effort to break the door bolt. It was pitch dark inside the door, and the curtains on all the windows were drawn up. It was very dark. Only after we turned on the lights did we see that the person was dead."

"It looks a lot like suicide." Yusaku said, rubbing his chin.

"It would be better if it was suicide. Gunsmoke reaction confirmed that the deceased fired the gun with his right hand, but her wife Misaki Nagamori provided a video of Naoto Nagamori shooting in Hawaii. Although Naoto Nagamori was right-handed, he shot with his left hand. Yes, and Misaki Koonagamori said that her husband’s right hand was seriously injured, which did not affect his daily life, but he could not lift anything heavy with his right hand. This also has a medical diagnosis. But even the M629 revolver on the ground It weighs 1.37Kg without loading, which is quite heavy.”

Yusaku nodded.

Officer Megure continued: "Naoto Nagamori's friend Shinzo Fukatsu also thinks that he will not commit suicide, because Naoto Nagamori has already bought a corpse and faked his death. How could he commit suicide?"

"Did you buy the body in the car before?!" Yusaku was shocked.

Officer Megure nodded and said: "Yes, Fukatsu Shinzo was also involved in that case, but according to him, Naoto Nagamori bought the body. He didn't know where he bought it specifically. He just bought it from Naoto Nagamori." After setting fire to the car, he just drove Naoto Nagamori out of there."

"So the clue to the charred corpse has been broken again?" Yuzuo frowned as he thought of the white man he had just met.

Officer Megure nodded.

"What was in the safe? Money?" Yuzuo asked.

Officer Memu then nodded and said: "The money, the remaining funds of the company, were all transferred out by him, about three million or so."

Kudo Yusaku frowned and asked, "Who knows about money?"

"Except for the deceased's wife, the other two people know about it."

Kudo Yusaku followed Megure Thirteen's gaze and saw that there were two men and a woman over there. The woman was probably the deceased's wife. She was wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.

The lady's hair was wet. It was said that she had been taking a shower before and was suddenly contacted by the police. She pushed her wet hair behind her ears. There were no piercings in her small and delicate ears, and she did not wear any earrings. However, this lady wore a gorgeous gemstone necklace around her neck. Judging from her outfit, , seems to be going to a more important place.

Officer Memu said that she was a reporter and that she was going to attend a new product launch conference that evening, but she probably wouldn't be able to go to this conference.

Then Megure Shisan continued to introduce, the man with dyed brown hair is called Shusuke Tezuka. He is an electrician and does circuit maintenance work in the shopping mall.

The electrician's box that Shusuke Tezuka carried contained a pair of insulating gloves, various screwdrivers, wire strippers, tape measures, safety glasses and other items. There were some burn marks on the insulating gloves. According to Shusuke Tezuka, he accidentally touched a live wire. .

Shusuke Tezuka lived on the third floor of this house. This house was also rented in his name, but the rent was paid by the deceased Naoto Nagamori. He knew that Naoto Nagamori had a large amount of money, but the specific amount was not clear.

He and the deceased Nagamori Naoto were childhood friends. Recently, the deceased entrusted him to help rent a house. Because Nagamori Naoto promised to give him a sum of money when the matter was completed, he helped. Moreover, after Nagamori Naoto moved in, he did not go out. Every time All the purchases were entrusted to Shusuke Tezuka, so Shusuke Tezuka took advantage of the situation and moved to the third floor.

Shusuke Tezuka said that he did not know anything about burning vehicles, but had only heard about them in newspapers and on the radio. Moreover, he said that Nagamori Naoto and Fukatsu Shinzo were closer to each other. When they went to work in the morning, they also saw Fukatsu Shinzo. Entered the room of the deceased.

As for why the deceased entrusted him to rent this house, Shusuke Tezuka said he did not know. Moreover, according to Shusuke Tezuka, the door was modified by the deceased himself. It is strong and fireproof, and the wooden door latch inside was also made by the deceased himself.

Another man in a suit was named Shinzo Fukatsu. He was a good friend of Naoto Nagamori and a veteran employee of the company. He owned a car. The police found fishing tools in the trunk of the car and a buckshot in the car. Medication and a whole bunch of easy-to-storage food.

However, Shinzo Fukatsu does not have high blood pressure. He said that the medicine was bought for his father, and the fishing tools were left there without being taken out after a friend arranged to go fishing together. The pile of food was bought by the deceased and requested by the deceased to be delivered tonight.

The body was taken away by the forensic doctor for autopsy, and Mingyue saw that spots had begun to appear on the body.

Mingyue looked around the room and found that there was a quilt on the bed on the second floor, but no pillow. There seemed to be something shiny stuck to the gun. The luster was a bit like a gem, with a little bit of fire. After the door was closed, there was a small pit just below the door latch.

"Report! Officer Memu, we found vomit in the toilet on the first floor, and the vomit reacted with poison. We found double-insulated copper wire in the flower bed outside the house. The copper wire was cut into many sections. In A fire was ignited in the garbage storage not far away. After putting it out, we found the raincoat and rubber gloves that were not completely burned. The smoke reaction was positive on the rubber gloves that were not burned, but no fingerprints or skin flakes were found. Materials were also found, including zippers, many incompletely burned lunch boxes, iron rods, burnt and deformed bottles, paper towels and many other domestic wastes." A police officer reported to Officer Memu.

Yusaku noticed something on the gun and knelt down to take a closer look.

"Officer Mu Mu, the autopsy report is here. He was shot in the head until he died. The time of death was about an hour ago, which is consistent with the time when he heard the gunfire and reported the crime. However, there were toxic reactions in the mouth, esophagus, and stomach of the deceased, but the content was not the same. Not death, and the deceased seemed to have induced vomiting before. The type of poison is the same as that detected in the toilet toilet." Another police officer ran over to report.

Demi Criminal also came to report: "Two people's fingerprints were collected on the safe, one is that of the deceased, and the other is that of Shinzo Fukatsu. Shinzo Fukatsu said that the deceased entrusted him to buy something in the morning, and he touched the safe."

Yuzu stood up and asked, "When did the deceased's wife and colleagues come over?"

Officer Megure thought for a while and said: "The wife of the deceased was the last one to come over. His colleague Shinzo Fukatsu came after us. Shusuke Tezuka, who lived in this house with the deceased, arrived before us. "

"Does Shusuke Tezuka, who lives with me, have an explanation for the lack of pillows on the bed?" Yusaku looked at the bed.

Officer Megure looked at the brown-haired man and said: "Tezuka Shusuke said he didn't remember whether there were pillows in the room on the second floor. The deceased rarely let him enter the room. We have already investigated the third floor and found nothing suspicious." The other two people’s cars and the places where they live have also been inspected, but there has been no feedback yet.”

"The top priority now is to decipher how this secret room was formed." Kudo Yusaku said, looking around the entire secret room.
