"At the time of the crime, Ms. Yoko was participating in the recording of the program, and Xiaolan was outside the reception room buying drinks, so the four of us who were waiting in the reception room at the time were the ones who could have committed the crime."

"That is to say, photographer Mr. Lai Yuanchuan, cartoonist Ms. Jiang Mushimizu, freelance worker Mr. Ryuzaki Song, the murderer is among you!"

Lai Yuanchuan, a thin man with a small backpack, said: "I, I only went to the toilet once, I didn't kill anyone."

The slim woman wearing sunglasses, Jiang Muqingshui said: "What does it have to do with me? I don't even know him."

Ryuzaki Songxing, who was tattered, had thick black hair and big dark circles under his eyes, said, "Me too, it's my first time seeing him."

Eh… this guy called Ryuqi Songxing, he has dark circles under his eyes…

Long Qi Song Xing looked over and gave him a slightly weird smile.

Hennessy? ! ! Why is this guy here?

Yoko Okino? ... Hennessy this guy ... (?_?)

Ryuzaki Songxing: ( ̄y▽ ̄)~*covering her mouth and laughing secretly

"Okay, the victim died within 30 minutes before the body was found. Please explain what you were doing before and after the incident."

Lai Yuanchuan: "Waiting in the reception room. We are all here to participate in Ms. Yoko's show. I only went to the bathroom once during this time."

Jiang Muqingshui: "I'm almost the same, but after Sakata went to the toilet, the second cubicle was locked for a long time."

Ryuzaki Songxing: "That's right, at that time we all thought that Mr. Sakata was just using the second toilet cubicle, but who would have thought..."

Officer Megure touched his chin and said, "There are two cubicles in the toilet. The deceased was found in the second cubicle. Before being found, the three suspects had gone to the toilet several times. We can't identify the suspects."

Conan digested the current information: before being discovered, the second compartment was locked, but when the body was found, the second compartment was no longer locked. In other words, at the time of the crime, that compartment was a secret room!

Conan looked at Natsume Hoshi, the person he trusted the most. He was discussing the case with Maori Kogoro, and he should be able to get a lot of clues.

Conan came to the toilet and looked around. The toilet was very small. There was only one baffle between the two cubicles, and it seemed that one could walk through it.

There was only an exhaust fan in the compartment and no windows at all, so the murderer must have passed through the top of the two compartments after killing the person and then came out of the first compartment.

The secret room has been half solved, but the key is how the murderer managed to lock the door of the compartment without being discovered afterwards.

"Junior Detective Team, take action!" Yuantai raised his arm and shouted, and the three little ones entered the bathroom and began their investigation.

"This toilet is very suspicious." Yuantai looked carefully at the toilet that was sticky with water.

Mitsuhiko looked at him speechlessly, "Yuanta, no matter how hard you think about it, you know that the murderer couldn't have left through the toilet."

"This door is so suspicious." Ayumi was about to touch it.

"Stop, don't touch the crime scene!!" Conan was shocked and shouted hurriedly.

But it was still too late, Ayumi's delicate little hand touched the rotary lock.

"What are you doing!" Officer Takagi quickly pulled her away and said, looking at the three naughty kids who wanted to investigate.

"You can't touch the crime scene. Do you know that? Get out now. This is not a place for children."

Yuan Tai retorted fiercely: "We are not children."

Mitsuhiko, Ayumi: "We are the Junior Detective Team."

The good-natured Officer Gao Mu sighed and advised, "Okay, okay, go investigate outside and don't touch the crime scene again."

The three little ones and Conan were driven out by Officer Takagi and were not allowed to go back in.

Yuan Tai was still unconvinced: "What? Our Junior Detective Team can definitely solve this case."

"Yes, yes. Besides, didn't they notice that the rotary lock of that compartment was loose and a little cold?"

Ice cold...!!! An electric current passed through Conan's mind, and Conan suddenly had an idea and smiled as if he saw through everything.

I understand. I know the method of the secret room, but anyone can build this secret room. What I lack is evidence.

Natsume Hoshi, Inspector Megure and Maori Kogoro were still talking. Suddenly, Maori Kogoro exclaimed, "I understand!"

Maori Kogoro stretched out his hand and pointed at Ryuzaki Songyang who was standing beside him. "The murderer is you, Mr. Ryuzaki Songyang."

Huh? A strange question appeared in Long Qi Song Xing's big dark circles, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Because the two cubicles of the toilet can be passed through from above, and your body is very thin, which is very suitable. As for the method of the secret room, it is also very simple, just using a strip of cloth."

"Strips of cloth?"

"That's right. Mr. Ryuzaki's clothes were very messy, so it was impossible to tell whether he had more or less cloth on him. As for the method of locking the room, all we need to do is tie the rotary lock with cloth and remove it the next time he goes to the toilet."

Long Qi Song Xing's face was full of question marks. He was talking incoherently about something. Who would believe such a ridiculous secret room technique?

"And to complete the secret room, you must go into the bathroom twice. Mr. Lai Yuan, who has only been to the bathroom once, is not a suspect. But you, who have been to the bathroom many times, are the most suspicious!"

"Inspector Megure, he must be the murderer, arrest him quickly." Kogoro Mouri smiled smugly, full of ignorant confidence.

"Teacher Maori, that's not right. According to what you said, it seems that Miss Jiangmu can also use cloth strips to create a secret room. Just put it in your pocket." Natsume Xing looked at him speechlessly.

Anyway, it definitely wasn't Hennessy who did it. Why would he use such a crude method to kill someone?

"Oh, okay, it seems so." Kogoro Mouri was a little embarrassed.

Officer Megure: "Brother Maori, are you able to do this?"

Maori Kogoro: "Ah, this, this, let me think about it."

Ryuzaki Songxun glanced at them, came to Natsume Xing, and whispered, "Does that confused detective know something? Why did he only point out me?"

Natsume Xing laughed dryly and said, "Master Hennessy, it's okay. Let's learn about the Maori elimination method."

Ryuzaki Sounori (ー_ー): A strange detective.

At this time, Conan walked over. Ryuzaki Songxing glanced at him and consciously avoided him.

Conan asked quietly: "Natsume-san, do you have any clues?"

Natsume Xing nodded, "It seems that Lai Yuanchuan and the deceased Sakata Toki knew each other. It is said that Lai Yuanchuan often gave the deceased the excellent images and photos he took to publish. As for Miss Jiang Muqingshui, it seems that she really had nothing to do with the deceased."

Conan stroked his chin: "Then everything makes sense. I know the truth of the case."

Conan turned around and knocked down Kogoro Mouri with an anesthetic needle without hesitation, then slid and hid behind the sofa.

Natsumehoshi (?皿?)... Is she that skilled now?

Conan: "Inspector Megure, I know the truth of the case."

Inspector Megure(?_?): You know it again.

"The murderer did strangle the victim in the second compartment first, and then left from the upper part of the two compartments. As for the method of the closed room."

“It’s dry ice!”

Natsume Star, Inspector Megure: ! ! What

"That's right. The murderer used dry ice to get stuck in the gap between the doors, blocking the rotating lock so that it pressed against the compartment door, forming a locked secret room. Then, after the dry ice naturally sublimated, the blocking rotating lock would fall off by itself, and the door would be unlocked."

Natsume Star: "Will the rotating lock fall off by itself?"

Conan: "Inspector Megure, you should have noticed that the rotary lock at the crime scene was loose."

Officer Megure: "It seems so, but we didn't find any trace of dry ice."

Conan: "Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide. It will eventually turn into carbon dioxide without leaving a trace, but it leaves the temperature behind."

Officer Megure: "Temperature?"

Conan: "Because the investigators wore gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints at the crime scene, it was normal that they didn't notice that the rotary lock was very cold."

Natsume Xing suddenly realized: "I understand, the murderer used dry ice because the dry ice will disappear automatically and the lock will open automatically. Mr. Lai Yuan, who only went to the toilet once, is the most suspicious."

Lai Yuanchuan, who was standing by, was sweating profusely and shouted, "How can you be sure it was me? Where is the evidence?"

Conan smiled and said, "Isn't it in your bag~"

!!! Lai Yuanchuan was stunned.

Conan: "Because dry ice easily sublimates and disappears, in order to commit a crime, you must carry a large amount of dry ice to maintain the temperature, and use an insulated bag to prevent the temperature from rising. Therefore, your bag should be filled with an insulated bag, and there may even be some leftover dry ice."

OK, Lai Yuanchuan's defense was broken instantly, and he began to cry, kneel, and confess.

"It's all this bastard's fault. If he hadn't stolen my work and given it to his girlfriend, who is also a photographer, I would have won the photography competition."

"That was my honor. He deserves to die. Damn it!"

"But this is not a reason for you to kill people!" Conan shouted angrily.

"He made a mistake and should be punished by law instead of you arbitrarily lynching him. What's the difference between you now and the guy you hate?"

Lai Yuanchuan knelt on the ground, laughing miserably and crying bitterly.

……

OK, the case is over. The three little ones accidentally helped Conan find the clue, so they were severely criticized by Natsume as a reward.

Three little ones: cry cry——

After waking up, Kogoro Mori took a nap without thinking about anything. He smiled embarrassedly at the cold Ryugasaki Songyang beside him.

"I'm sorry I just pointed you out."

"fine."

"You are also here to prepare for Yoko Okino's concert next week on March 3st."

Ryuzaki Songxun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Yeah, you too~ Because coming here can get the backstage pass for the concert in advance."

"Wow, it seems like we have similar interests. How about going out for a drink after the show?"

"Okay, okay, that's just what I want."

Two clowns: "Hahahahahaha~"

Natsume Hoshi looked at Ryuzaki Song with contempt: This Hennessy and this Mori Kogoro look so alike, are you sure they are not brothers who have been separated for many years?

Hey... next week, March 3st, April 31st... hehehe, there will be something interesting to watch~
