08 The Huge Chamber of Secrets

"Lawyer Serizawa, you were so handsome just now!"

After everyone else left the crime scene and went to the living room, Junko patted Serizawa on the shoulder and joked.

"That's right! Who am I, Hao Serizawa? A famous barrister, of course it's easy to deal with this kind of thing!" Serizawa secretly rubbed his trembling legs and said.

"Lawyer Serizawa," Satomi Yoshikawa ran up from downstairs in a hurry, and quickly said without waiting to stand still, "I can't get through the phone, and I can't call the police. What should I do?"

"What? Why can't I get through?" Serizawa was stunned for a moment, and asked quickly.

Yoshikawa Satomi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. However, I guess the heavy snow may have broken the communication cable! This has happened in our village before."

"But, if you can't make a call, you can't call the police! This is too bad!" Serizawa was a little anxious.

Junko said: "Didn't everyone drive when you came here? Find someone to drive down the mountain and call the police!"

"I don't think we can drive now." Enomoto, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly.

"Eh? Why?" Junko was taken aback for a moment, and when she turned around, Enomoto was standing in front of the window at the end of the corridor, looking out the window expressionlessly.

"It's a blizzard outside now. It's not safe to go out with such a heavy snow, and drive on a winding mountain road. I think it's not too late to call the police after the snow is lighter." Said expressionlessly.

Junko heard the words and walked to the window. The snow outside the window was falling all over the sky, and she could hardly see the direction.

Junko sighed, crossed her body and said to Satomi Yoshikawa, "Miss Yoshikawa, please go downstairs and explain to everyone."

Yoshikawa Satomi nodded, raised her hand to look at her watch, and said, "I don't think the snow will stop for a while. It's almost lunch time. Let me prepare lunch for everyone!"

"Then please trouble Miss Yoshikawa!" Junko gave a slight salute to Satomi Yoshikawa.

"Then let's gather at the restaurant in an hour!" Yoshikawa Satomi said, and went downstairs.

"But, is this really good?" Junko looked at Yoshikawa Satomi's back and said thoughtfully, "Will it affect the police's detection of the case if we don't call the police in time?"

"That's impossible. It's snowing so hard now that we can't go down the mountain at all. Besides, judging from the condition of the corpse, it's been at least three days since the death. The impact that should have happened has already happened, so I don't care. This hour and a half."

In the case of Oishi, the president of the New Japan Funeral Agency, Enomoto had dabbled in forensic science, so he roughly knew how to estimate the time of death based on the condition of the corpse.

"One more thing," Enomoto continued with a blank expression, "Even if the police arrive now, it may not be so easy to solve the case."

"What do you mean?"

"Lawyer Qingdi, have you forgotten how we got in?"

Junko was silent, bowed her head in thought for a moment, then suddenly froze.By the way, the front door was locked just now, and all the windows and back doors were also locked after everyone checked, so, that is to say...

"Enomoto-san means that this villa is a huge secret room?"

Enomoto nodded solemnly.

Junko felt a little sad for a moment, and she didn't even feel like complaining.

On the other hand, Serizawa complained: "Really! How can I be so unlucky! First I was kidnapped by someone inexplicably, and then I encountered such a murder in a secret room! Do I have to spend my precious time in this old house in the mountains? Is it inside?"

"Enomoto-san," Junko didn't pay attention to Serizawa's complaints, but tilted her head, thought for a while and said, "I don't think this is a secret room yet!"

"How to say?" Enomoto raised his eyebrows, as if waiting for Junko's high-spirited talk.

"We only checked the doors and windows on the first floor, and there was no way to check the ones on the second floor. Wouldn't it make sense if the murderer escaped by hanging a rope from the window on the second floor after killing Mr. Miyamoto? So I I don't think we can draw that conclusion until we've checked the windows on the second floor."

"Lawyer Qingdi's concern was also on my mind before, but I have just checked all the windows on the second floor and made sure that all the windows are locked from the inside."

Enomoto's tone was calm, but Junko was really surprised.

"What, Enomoto-san checked all the windows on the second floor? When did you check it?"

"Just now, when the body was discovered."

Junko looked at Enomoto in a daze, thinking that Enomoto-san was really powerful. When everyone was shocked by the headless corpse that suddenly appeared in front of them, Enomoto-san had fully considered that the murder scene was a secret room. Moreover, all the windows on the second floor have been checked, which is really not easy.
