The Mumu Police Department nodded and said seriously:

"The deceased is the Yamazaki manager of the Baling Bank. He came here in the evening to attend the private banquet held by Mr.

"On the way to the banquet, Manager Yamazaki left the banquet hall alone and came to the guest room on the third floor of the villa."

"Later, there was a gunshot from the third floor, and everyone attending the banquet rushed to the scene following the sound, only to find that the third-floor guest room had been locked with an anti-theft lock from the inside."

"And after opening the door, Manager Yamazaki was shot dead in the room."

"Murder in a secret room?" This was Kudo Shinichi's first reaction.

"An acquaintance committed the crime?" Lin Xinyi also heard something.

"That's right." The Mumu police department nodded: "The door is locked from the inside with an anti-theft chain, and there is a key outside that can't be opened. This is obviously a murder case in a secret room."

"And if the murderer can kill in a secret room here, then he must have prepared in advance and be familiar with the internal topography of this villa."

"And, he also knew that Manager Yamazaki left the banquet hall at that time and went to the guest room on the third floor."

"This is undoubtedly an acquaintance who committed the crime, and the murderer is most likely between the guests attending the banquet today and the master and servant living in this villa."

"The good news is that the police officers from the nearby police station who arrived first blocked the villa immediately and did not let anyone in the villa leave the scene at that time."

After all, the Mumu police department is an old criminal police officer. After explaining it, he has analyzed the case very thoroughly.

"That's fine."

Lin Xinyi's expression suddenly became relaxed:

"Since a potential suspect is quickly brought under control, he has little chance of destroying the evidence - which increases our hopes of finding key physical evidence."

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi also showed a confident smile:

Choose 1 from among the suspects, which is the reasoning game he is best at.

And the murder case in the secret room is undoubtedly the home of his detective.

It seems that this time he has a good chance of winning.

Kudo Shinichi was eagerly looking forward to the next duel, and at this time...

A bald, fat old man with a cast on his right leg and a wheelchair with his buttocks appeared in front of everyone with an unhappy face under the service of a servant.

He is the owner of this villa, the head of the Seyu family, Mr. Seyu Zunde.

And when I saw this old Mr. Seba...

Kudo Shinichi's smile immediately collapsed:

"What is he?"

A sense of helplessness came to my mind:

This old man named Zunde Seto, Kudo just met at Suzuki Sonoko's house a few days ago.

At that time, his wheelchair almost fell to the ground due to an accident. As a result, in the process of instinctual struggle, the old man performed the difficult action of using the "injured leg in plaster" to complete the foot brake.

At that time, Kudo Shinichi discovered that this old Mr. Seba's leg injury was fake.

At that time, he wondered why the old man pretended not to be sick...

Now, when I contact the murder case that happened to happen in his house today, I can immediately understand why the old man worked so hard to pretend to be disabled.

"I know who the murderer is in advance..."

"It doesn't make sense to win!"

It's like just starting an episode of "Conan" and being maliciously spoiled by a barrage, Kudo Shin suddenly felt that everything was boring.

Chapter 55 Lin Xinyi lost?

"Why did you invite two more hairy boys over here, and your Metropolitan Police Department is still finished?"

"If you can't solve the case, hurry up and leave, don't waste everyone's time!"

As if hemorrhoids developed from sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, the old man Seyu is very angry now.

As soon as he saw Lin Xinyi and Kudo, the two newly invited foreign aids, he snorted impatiently with police officers:

"If you think about it, you should know that the people who come to my banquet are all well-known people in Japan."

"Can people like us be murderers?"

"The real murderer probably escaped long ago!"

Seyu Zunde scolded plausibly, and then threatened with an unpleasant expression:

"Mumu Police Department, our time is very precious. If we continue to delay like this... don't blame me for calling the police chief to complain afterwards."

"Uh..." Officer Mu Mu looked embarrassed.

Indeed, apart from the housekeeper and servants of this villa, the people who are now imprisoned here are all well-known capital elites, chaebols and socialites.

If it really arouses their dissatisfaction, ordinary little policemen can't bear the consequences.

Even the Mumu Police Department, while sticking to the principle of being a police officer, has to be careful when talking to them.

"Mr. Zunde Seyu..."

The Mumu police department is preparing to persuade him again in a good voice.

But Shinichi Kudo, who was beside him, raised the corner of his mouth, grabbed a gun and said with a stick:

"Don't worry, Mr. Zunde Seyu."

"With me here, this case will be solved in a few minutes."

"You..." Zunde Seyu looked at Kudo Shinichi carefully, and finally remembered that he had seen him at Suzuki's house: "Are you that...that kid who called himself a detective a few days ago?"

"That's right." Kudo Shinichi smiled meaningfully: "Please wait a moment, I promise to find the murderer."

"How long?" Zunde Seyu concealed his nervousness with impatience.

"Soon." Kudo Shinichi replied playfully:

For him, the case no longer has any suspense.

This Mr. Zunde Seyu pretended that his leg injury was not healed, and it was obvious that he wanted to use the illusion of disability to deceive the police's eyes, so as to rule out the suspicion of murder.

Then he only needs to figure out the modus operandi, and then publicly expose the old man's falsehood of pretending to be disabled.

Strictly speaking, this cannot be regarded as hard-core evidence, at most it can only prove that he has the greatest suspicion of murder.

If the murderer insists on dying and does not let go, and finds a strong lawyer, maybe he can be acquitted.

But... these aren't really the problems:

Because according to the routine, as long as the murder method is exposed in public by famous detectives, even if a complete chain of evidence is not formed, the murderer will basically confess the guilt directly because of psychological breakdown.

Like the one I met at the tram stop at noon, the murderer who kept clenching his teeth until the end, never letting go without evidence, is extremely rare in this world, and unlearned.

"Then the case can be solved as long as we see the secret room method again."

"But... this method should be very boring."

Kudo Shinichi thought with little interest.

Even if he hadn't gone to the scene to see it, he could have foreseen that this secret room method must be very simple.

After all, Mr. Seba's main point is to pretend to be disabled. He doesn't need to spend too much time on the layout of the secret room. He just needs to come up with a simple method that makes people believe that "this must be done by healthy people".

so boring...

Kudo Shinichi has already figured out how to reveal the true identity of the murderer.

But he didn't do it directly, but turned his attention to Lin Xinyi:

"How will he solve the case?"

Kudo Shinichi didn't compete with Lin Shinichi for fame.

Compared with achieving a meaningless victory by "cheating", he wanted to see how Lin Xinyi would break the game.

At this time, Lin Xinyi asked in an orderly manner:

"Mr. Seyu, after the incident, did the guests in the villa get together immediately, or did someone never show up during this period of time?"

Zunde Seyu frowned and replied impatiently:

"Everyone in the villa followed the gunfire and rushed over, and no one acted alone."

"That's why I said, the real murderer must have run away long ago. How could it be among us?"

Speaking, he also emphasized:

"I was using the toilet in the bathroom of my bedroom."

"After hearing the gunshots, I quickly packed up and left the room and asked the servant to take me to the scene."

"And I was only delayed in the room for two or three minutes, as my servants and guests can attest to."

Zunde Seto pretended to be disabled so that he would not be suspected.

But the problem with this method is that once someone starts to suspect, it is very easy to be exposed.

So, in order to minimize the possibility of myself getting noticed for "going alone for too long"...

Zunde Seyu quickly changed his disguise after killing people, and appeared in front of everyone like a normal person.

Now he is emphasizing this point, but also to convince Lin Xinyi:

He can't be the murderer, nor can anyone else, the real murderer has already run away, and investigating them is a waste of effort.

But Lin Xinyi was not so easily caught.

He just kept the details of the question in his mind, then turned his head and said to the Mumu police department:

"Mumu Police Department, you should have done the gun smoke reaction test on the suspects present, right?"

This case is a shooting homicide.

When the firearm is fired, the air mass escaping from the muzzle and the end of the barrel will definitely contain soot composed of gunpowder particles and metal powder.
