All Worlds Madhouse

"Oh?" Sherlock stared at Ziliang: "So, have you found any clues?"

"Of course." Ziliang said, and took out a circle of thin string from his pocket.

"This is..." Mrs. Marple came over and asked.

"The fishing line was found when we searched the villa yesterday. It was hung on the Christmas tree next to the dining table. Of course, the situation was so tense at the time, and I would definitely not tell such a thing." Ziliang replied .

Moriarty also walked over at this time, and he glanced at the fishing line: "Haha, this is natural, because in that case, even if I found any clues, I would not tell them easily. .Right?" As he said this, he looked at the other people with a pointed look.

Indeed, according to the words in the "Horror Movie Survival Manual (Seventh Edition)", at the crime scene, and the murderer is likely to be hiding around you, especially in this situation where everyone is locked up in a villa or an isolated island. In this case, if you find any clues, be sure not to announce it, just put it in your pocket and pretend like you didn't find anything.

ah? You still ask why?

Isn’t this nonsense? Think about it, if you were a murderer and found out that someone held clues against you, what would you choose?

The biggest possibility is to kill this person quickly and destroy the clues at the same time. So, what you are holding in your hand is not evidence against the murderer at all, but a time bomb.

Sherlock looked at Ziliang: "Well, that's interesting, so you guessed the murderer's modus operandi based on this fishing line?"

Ziliang dropped his shoulders weakly: "Hey, do you have to pretend to know nothing? In fact, you already know it, right! The fence on the second floor and all the pillars have a layer of sediment Only the dust on the third to last rod at the end has been wiped clean. Even this little abnormality can be observed by me, let alone you."

Sherlock smiled and did not deny it.

"And you, Moriarty, you went even further. After you decided to go back to the house to sleep, you directly chose the room facing the 'abnormal fence'."

Moriarty curled his lips indifferently, looking arrogant and arrogant.

"Oh, my God, it turns out that you have discovered the clues a long time ago, but you never told them?" Mrs. Marple looked at the three people opposite with a surprised expression.

However, these three people returned a look with a little contempt.

"Miss Marple, I know you are old, but this cannot be used as a reason for you to be shameless." Sherlock said rudely: "After we came out of that bedroom, you relied on your poor legs and feet. , sitting motionless in a wheelchair, and your position is directly opposite the Christmas tree. So I have every reason to suspect that you have noticed the fishing line a long time ago, but you pretended not to see it and waited for others to go "Well, with all due respect, your behavior of doing nothing and watching others take risks seems worse than us."

"Oh, this." When Mrs. Marple heard this, she was exposed and a little embarrassed: "I just think that when I am old, these little things should be left to you young people."

Of course, her explanation earned a few blank stares from the others, and for a while, the image of the respectable old man disappeared.

Then, she added: "Oh, by the way, in fact, the man named Kudo Shinichi should have seen through the murderer's trick a long time ago, but he didn't say anything. So, don't underestimate him. That kid is better than you think." The one in the middle is much smarter, and his radical and funny behaviors should all be fake."

Well, from this look, everyone in this room is a scheming character.

"Although everyone should know how the murderer strangled [Kkindaichi] outside the locked bedroom. However, I'd better finish my words." Ziliang continued: "Actually, the method is very simple. That is, [Kanada Yiyi] outside the door should be asleep like us. However, his sleeping posture is not lying down or prone, but 'slanted'. To be more precise, It is to wrap a piece of fishing line around the neck of the 'plastic tie', and then step on a less fixed object with both feet. I guess it is a few empty gift boxes next to the Christmas tree, with such a "\\" posture"

As he spoke, Ziliang also made a sideways gesture with his arm.

"As for the fishing line, one end passes through the tail of the tie, and then goes around Kindaichi's chest to fix him at this angle. The other end goes around the fence on the second floor and is connected to the bedroom door where we are. on axis.

Recall that shortly after we woke up, [Inspector Polo] was still alive at that time. He banged the door hard several times. I think those few blows just shook the fishing line off the door shaft, thus This caused Kindaichi's center of gravity to change, causing his body to lean forward. In this way, gravity naturally tightened the tie behind his neck. Therefore, it was not people who strangled him, but gravity. Oh, as for what happens next, Kindaichi will definitely struggle desperately, so that the fishing line at the end of the tie on the second floor will be pulled apart."

As he spoke, Ziliang also showed everyone a slip knot on one end of the fishing line, which is the kind of knot that can be broken free with a little force.

"As Kindaichi breaks free, the thread will fall off and hang on the Christmas tree below, and there will be traces of the thread being bypassed on the fence on the second floor."

Ziliang gave a brief summary of Kindaichi's method of death. Of course, the others also knew these methods, so they did not raise too many doubts.

"To sum up, there should be one person among our group who does not have amnesia. That person is the murderer who stunned us, caused us to lose our memory, locked us up, and killed Kindaichi and Inspector Polo."

Sherlock also nodded: "Yes, I think so too, and that person will definitely go to the second floor and wipe away the traces of the wire on the fence."

"Yes, in fact, I had the same idea as everyone else at the time. Whoever went to wipe the fence on the second floor would be the murderer." At this time, Moriarty also spoke: "Besides, I think everyone also saw that when he went to wipe the fence, he would be the murderer." Who is the person with the marks on that fence?"

Everyone nodded.

"Yes, I saw it," Mrs. Marple said, and then looked at Miss Grudge House who was already in pieces on the ground.

"The person who went to clean the fence at that time was the one who complained about the house."
