Detective Conan: Twelve Death Warlocks

"This warehouse is an old-fashioned building built during the shogunate period. The door is an old-fashioned bolted door. When they were looking for the exit, they touched the door bolt in the dark. Because several people were kidnapped, the kidnappers have not yet been arrested.

If they showed up, there must be external threats around them. They were afraid that after falling asleep, someone would quietly open the door and come in to harm them, so after a few people discussed it, Shimada Toda removed a wooden stick from the information rack and inserted it into the inner door bolt.

superior."

Mouri Kogoro understood instantly: "In other words, after the door bolt is inserted, even if outsiders forcefully break into the door, there will be an obvious noise and wake them up."

"Mr. Mori, you are right."

Conan was also very surprised when he was nearby. Therefore, this case took place in a bizarre double secret room. People inside could not get out and people outside could not get in. New clues were obtained, but the situation became increasingly complicated.

It's complicated. Conan frowned slightly. If this is the case, then he can only test whether the secret room can be investigated from outside the door by using the existing things inside.

"Oh? Conan, are you talking about the secret room technique? In fact, in order to prove that people outside cannot open the door when the inside of the door is bolted, the police and forensic investigators used the same wooden stick to conduct many experiments. The results

We can't even open the door." Henggou Shenwu took out the police manual and frowned slightly.

"Then if you use a metal sheet or the like to open a gap, then use piano wire or the like to lock the door bolt inside."

"The wooden door is very thick and heavy, and it is single-opening. There is a misalignment between the door edge and the door frame. You cannot directly insert a knife, thin wire or the like."

"Is that so?" Conan's brows furrowed again. Then it might be an endless cycle. The two survivors in the house blamed each other, and outsiders couldn't enter, so who killed the victim?

What? If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll have to see a detailed report.

"Take it! Conan." Mao Lilan smiled and looked at Conan there, "Dad is already at the scene to investigate, so I asked him for the investigation report. If it was Conan, he might also find some different things.

Isn’t it something?”

Conan hesitated for a moment, but still took the report from Mao Lilan.

Mao Lilan's doubts about herself can be said to have been going on for a long time. If we take Huihara Ai's words as an example, Mao Lilan is a very brave and strong girl. She is not as weak as she seems on the surface. She has a grasp of human nature.

Hui Yuan Ai, there are few people who can say such ups and downs.

"Mr. Maori, this house used to be the data storage room of the warehouse. There is only one place for entry and exit: the door. Opposite the door, against the wall, there are two dismantled wooden racks for storing data. There are some bricks left by beggars cooking in the house.

bricks, and the murder weapon was one of the bricks."

"Yeah, but if that's the case, then since the door is tied shut with wire from the outside, isn't it possible that the kidnappers quietly opened the door while they were asleep and came in and killed them?"

Henggou was a little surprised. He seemed to feel that Mouri Kogoro's words opened up a new way of thinking. Conan next to him also nodded slightly. However, since this possibility exists, then why are the two murderers biting each other?

What? It seems that there is another hidden secret behind this matter!

The police interrogated the two men again. Although they were a little hesitant, they quickly understood the reason. Conan discovered a very crucial piece of information in the intelligence, that is, both of them had stars.

Dots of blood stains, with no particularly obvious signs of spraying or sputtering, in the blood

In terms of traces, there is almost no difference between the two. In other words, the murderer may have taken advantage of their sleep and smashed them to death with bricks. Because the three of them were relatively close to each other, and Miss Hushan Qianli was resting with her back against the wall.

With the head pointing upward, the blood did not spray directly onto the murderer, so it was difficult to distinguish the blood stains on the two bodies.

If this is the case, then, on that brick...

When Conan saw the situation above, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, the fingerprints of the two survivors, Miss Chisato Koyama and Mr. Shimada Toda, were clearly left on it. In other words, it was very

Maybe the murderer had their fingerprints pressed on the bricks to make it more difficult to solve the case. Moreover, he was still willing to do so.

"Due to the dark environment at the time, in order to protect ourselves, we did pick up some bricks before going to bed to prevent the kidnappers from suddenly attacking." Qianli Koyama looked a little flustered at Conan's question and confided with tears in his eyes.

The truth is, "I just didn't expect that it would actually become a tool used by the other party."

Shimada Toda gritted his teeth: "It must be that woman. She was the one who suggested that we pick up the bricks. Unexpectedly, we were all tricked by her."

Now that he has understood this, Conan roughly knows the specific direction of this case. In other words, in order to protect themselves, the three people imprisoned here wanted to prepare themselves here to prevent being attacked by gangsters again, so they took the bricks away.

He came around, only to be used by gangsters as a tool to confuse the public.

Conan's expression was slightly exaggerated. This secret room case is getting more and more interesting!

Since no direct evidence has been found, the suspicion of the same two people has not been cleared.

"If that's the case, I think these two people must have conspired to kill the victim, and then blamed each other to deliberately lead the case to a deadlock, making it impossible to solve the case!"

Conan heard Kogoro Mouri's reasoning and directly expressed his objection: "Uncle, I think this is impossible!"

"You brat!"

"Uncle Maori, think about it carefully! If it was a conspiracy to murder, they might as well choose not to admit that they had bolted the door at all, so that they could shift the blame for the murder to the fourth person outside the house. In comparison, I

I think this is a more reasonable and relatively risk-free answer."

"Yes, what Conan said is indeed correct! Dad."

Henggou thought thoughtfully: "What if there is an accomplice of the fourth person outside the house among these three people? He quietly opened the inner door bolt and let the fourth person outside the house come in. In this way..."

"I think this is impossible." Conan objected again, "Because this assumption is meaningless. If the accomplice in the house does this, he will actually put himself under suspicion of murder."

"That's not the case, and that's not the case either. You kid is just a little too smart. Have you ever heard of a saying, cleverness is mistaken for cleverness!"
