Conan: I can hear the murderer's voice

Heiji took a step back and then slammed the door hard.

This time, the door finally revealed a crack, allowing the two to see the densely packed tape on the edge of the wooden door.

[Someone sealed the door from the inside with tape! ]

Without communicating at all, the two detectives came to the same conclusion at the same time.

"asshole!"

Heiji cursed, then slammed the door with greater force, but each time he could only loosen the tape sealing the door slightly.

"Hattori."

Conan reminded Heiji in a low voice, while bending down and turning the right adjustment knob of the foot-strengthening shoes to the maximum force.

This invention of Dr. can allow the user to exert muscle strength to the limit.

boom! ! !

Conan's right foot and Heiji's body hit the wooden door at the same time. The door was finally knocked open and the two detectives fell in together.

The commissioned worker Shinichi Fuji was lying on the ground, and not far in front of him was a charcoal stove the size of a rice cooker.

All the books on the lower shelves were taken out and placed under the only window in the room as a footstool. The window was closed tightly, and even the gaps in the window were covered with dense tape.

Heiji held his breath and put his hand on Kudo Shinichi's neck, then he shook his head at Conan.

[No pulse, the person is dead]

The two detectives exchanged uneasy glances.

[Is this scene suicide by charcoal burning? ]

[There may still be a lot of toxic gas left in the room! ]

The two of them quickly retreated to the corridor and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Pingci gives the division of labor:

"I'll remove the tape from the windows while you move the stove out."

Conan nodded, and the detectives rushed into the room again.

Heiji was tearing off the tape on the window with force, and at the same time he discovered something suspicious.

[The maid claimed that the client was suffering from a back injury. If that was the case, why did he bend over and carry the books on the bottom shelf as a footstool?]

[Is your waist not painful enough? You can reach the books on the upper shelf without bending down.]

【This is definitely not suicide by charcoal burning! 】

Conan was responsible for moving the stove and throwing the still burning charcoal stove out of the room to avoid the accumulation of more toxic gases.

However, when the elementary school student put his hand on it, he found that the stove was cold, obviously the charcoal stove had stopped burning long ago.

[Even if you leave it alone, there will be no impact]

At the same time, Conan also discovered something unusual.

[The study room is large but the stove is small. Even if the coal is not completely burned, the harmful gases produced are limited.]

[It is far from reaching the concentration that can make people faint or even take their lives]

Just then, there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground outside.

It was the maid. She seemed to have just come back from shopping, with food in a plastic bag scattered all over the floor.

"Mr. Kudo?!"

The maid uttered a cry of surprise and was about to enter the scene.

"Stay outside! There may still be poisonous gases in the room!"

Conan yelled, shocking the maid.

But the reason he didn't want to let the maid in was not because of what he said, but because the other party was a major suspect in the crime!

[The maid lied, and she had plenty of time to set everything up before we arrived! ]

After removing the tape covering a window, Heiji immediately opened it to breathe in some fresh air.

He happened to see Lin Xuan bringing Xiaolan and Ye talking and laughing as they came to the road in front of the house.

Although he contacted the client in advance without telling his opponent, Heiji was not so despicable as to not even tell the client's address.

He Ye was looking at Lin Xuan with extremely admiring eyes, which made Heiji jealous.

At the same time, the childhood friend also discovered the detective lying by the window with a grim look on his face.

He Ye couldn't help but stand up for Lin Xuan:

"Stupid Heiji, what does that expression mean?"

"Rushing to see the client, trying to keep the important clues to yourself?"

Heiji responded:

"Idiot! Call the police, the client is dead."

Lin Xuan raised his head in surprise and looked at the room on the other side whose windows were still covered with dense tape.

[The client gave up the inheritance, changed his name back to his old surname, and even ran away from the family mansion back to Mihua out of fear]

[Can this be chased for thousands of miles? 】

[As expected of the power of two death gods! 】

Before the police arrived, three detectives conducted a preliminary investigation of the body and the crime scene.

Shinichi Kudo's body was stiff, and there were corpse spots on his back, indicating that he had been dead for at least two hours.

At the same time, there was a printed suicide note on the table:

“The demon dog wrapped in flames made me suspicious all day long, and my insomnia and mental state became worse and worse.

The back pain makes me feel like dying.

I no longer have any attachment to this world."

The fat maid was wiping tears in the corridor:

"I knew Mr. Kudo's mental state was getting worse, but I didn't expect him to do something so stupid."

"It's all my fault. If I had persuaded him to see a psychiatrist, maybe this tragedy could have been avoided."

The woman is on the verge of suicide.

This made Conan and Heiji even more suspicious of her.

[The fat lady is becoming more and more suspicious]

[She had plenty of time to kill, but how was the tape-locked room made? ]

The study room only has two exits: the door and the window, and both are sealed with dense tape.

Without cracking the tape chamber, the detectives couldn't identify the murderer.

Of course, Lin Xuan could easily get Conan and Heiji's ideas for free, but this time both detectives were wrong.

Because he can also hear the fat lady's thoughts.

[Can, can I deceive them? ]

[Mr. Kudo, please forgive me]

[If you have any grievances, vent them on the person who killed you. I was only forced to follow his instructions.]

Otherwise, my child will also suffer misfortune.

The inner voice revealed that the maid created the tape-locked room, but the real culprit was someone else.

After a while, Inspector Megure arrived with several detectives.

"Brother Lin Xuan, have you found any suspicious clues?"

The inspector ignored Conan and Heiji and asked Lin Xuan directly for advice.

Feeling slighted, the detective couldn't help but swear secretly.

[I must defeat Lin Xuan this time and let these snobby detectives know how powerful the famous Kansai detective is]

[Hattori and I are the only ones who know that the fat woman lied. With this information advantage, we can finally solve the case before him.]

Both of them were hostile to Lin Xuan.

[In that case, don’t blame me.]

Lin Xuan came to the back of the door, at the angle formed by the bookshelf against the wall.

He said to Megure:

"I do have some ideas in my mind, but I don't have any evidence yet. So I can't make any assumptions."

In an instant, Conan and Hattori Heiji both showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

The position of Lin Xuan's body completes the missing piece of the puzzle in their reasoning.

[So that's it, this is the truth about the tape secret room! ]

Hattori Heiji secretly glanced at Kazuha.

[Although there is no evidence, it would be too clownish if Lin Xuan came up with the theory first.]

[As long as you take a tougher stance, you may be able to force the murderer to confess his crime! ]

Just like that, Heiji cleared his throat and drew everyone's attention to himself.

Then he looked at the maid hired by the victim:

"Miss Maid, may I ask why you wanted to kill Mr. Kudo Shinichi?"
