Detective Conan: Twelve Death Warlocks

"Yes. Moreover, the murderer walked in through this door and walked out calmly after killing the person."

Mao Lilan was startled by Aco's words. Not only Mao Lilan, but also other people's faces showed frightened looks.

"Hey, kid, are you kidding me! How is this possible? How could a living person come in through this door to kill people, and then walk out again?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Aco with a ferocious expression.

It seems that this case is too weird.

Aco looked at Kogoro Mouri with a smile and asked calmly: "Then, Mr. Mouri, what is the purpose of this door?"

Conan figured out the whole case in an instant, and then looked at Aco with some emotion. Aco smiled slightly and nodded at him. Just when Kogoro Mori was in shock, Conan used an anesthetic gun to put him to sleep.

Then, Mouri Kogoro was impartial and sat down where the body was found.

"So that's it, Aco, you are really my noble person! These words made me understand the case in an instant."

"Ah? Dad!"

"Xiaolan, don't worry. I think I have a very clear understanding of this case. Since everyone knows that no one can pass through this door, that means that this door was not originally used for passage, but for

To create a secret room, you have to use a deception method!"

"A trick to create a secret room?" Henggou Zhenwu was a little surprised.

"That's right, Officer Henggou. I think you should still remember Mr. Shimada Toda's testimony. He said that when the victim was sleeping, he felt someone touching his feet in a daze, but because the drug was still in effect at the time,

It works, and you can’t tell if it’s a dream or reality.”

Henggou nodded after understanding: "Yes, I remember Mr. Toda gave such a testimony."

"If the testimony recalled by Mr. Toda is true, then when combined with the clues of those nail holes, wouldn't we come up with a very shocking truth?" After Mouri Kogoro said this, everyone was a little confused.

Knowing the situation, he laughed lightly and said, "Please, police officer over there, please turn off the lights."

The room suddenly became dark, and Aco immediately took out his cell phone to shine a faint light and stood there.

"In other words, if the house was not actually a real secret room when the three of them woke up for the first time, and someone had nailed a false door on this wall, when they first looked for an exit to escape, they would

Mr. Tian and others once found the door in the dark, but the reason why it could not be opened and it felt like it was locked from the outside was because what they found was that the murderer behind the scenes had deliberately nailed it to the wall.

There was a fake door and a fake door frame! Because there was no light in the room, and everyone was in a panic and despair that made them irrational, they could not tell that it was a fake door. And where was the real door?

In fact, it's just opposite the door. But at this time, the real culprit behind the scenes has moved the data storage rack that was originally placed at the false door to the real door. I said this, you should understand!"

Mao Lilan was a little surprised there: "That is to say, in the testimony part, Mr. Toda later recalled that he seemed to have touched the real door, but mistakenly thought it was part of the wooden frame. At this time, the real door was actually

Open!”

"I think that's right. After all, it's normal for them to turn around under the influence of chloroform. It's like being in a haunted house, Xiaolan, aren't you also running around in fear?"

Mao Lilan's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, but then she was slightly surprised: "Dad, you have never been to an amusement park with me. How do you know that I will be scared to death?"

"This... this is not the main point, ahem. Let's move on!" Conan hurriedly changed the subject and accidentally spilled the beans. "Although I don't know why the murderer laid it out like this, I think the two of them are sober.

Before that, the fourth person who used letters to lure the three people out placed the real victim in the yard and then committed suicide.

He pretended to be the victim, mixed up with the other two, and kept misleading them, making them believe that he was trapped in a secret room. At the same time, he deliberately got a wooden stick inserted into the inner door bolt, which was called protecting everyone.

Safety actually means making the other two people believe that the house has become a secret room that outsiders cannot enter.

"After the murderer noticed that the two innocent people were asleep, he began his next move. He used chloroform again to put the two people to sleep, then pulled out the false door, moved the wooden shelf opposite, and moved

He returned to the original position of the false door and opened the real door. At the same time, he also needed to turn the sleeping two people 180 degrees, because only by turning the sleeping direction 180 degrees could they ensure that they would not be sleeping when they woke up the next day.

Will go in the opposite direction to find the gate."

"In other words, is this the reason why the 'victim' provided false testimony at that time?" Liu Kun understood instantly.

Henggou realized this in an instant: "Actually, it was because he was afraid that the two of them would feel this at the time, so he gave a false testimony. Unexpectedly, it made the case itself even more confusing."

"Yes, Henggou, you are right. Then, the murderer brought in the real victim who was also stunned, put on gloves and beat him to death with a brick, and left Mr. Shimada Toda on the brick.

With the fingerprints of Miss Qianli Hushan, he then closed the real door, tied it with wire from the outside, and escaped. This layout can be said to be a clever and ingenious one. However, at the last step of the layout, there is one most critical detail that is prone to loopholes.

"

"Is there another loophole?" Henggou said, somewhat surprised.

"Previously, the murderer had convinced them that the door was bolted from the inside. But after the murderer left the scene, he would definitely be unable to bolt the door from the inside, and the double secret room could not continue to be maintained. In other words, when the murderer left, the door

It was just a single secret room locked from the outside. In order to convince the two people inside that this was still a double secret room locked both inside and outside, the murderer thought of a clever trick. When he left, he did not completely remove the latch rod.

,and

It was hung on one side of the door bolt without being inserted into the bolt groove on the other side. In this case, if someone outside woke them up the next day and the two people inside learned that they were about to be rescued, their first reaction would be to

The wooden stick was pulled out. And in the dark, they couldn't tell whether the wooden stick was inserted into the bolt groove. As long as they were pulled out, the only flaw in the double secret room disappeared. They would only remember that it was bolted last night.

And this morning the wooden bolt is still on the door bolt."

At this time, the forensic personnel had already picked up the two pieces of wood that looked very new at the stubble: "On one of the pieces, we detected Mr. Toda's fingerprints. There were also three people who were not at the scene.

's fingerprints."

"That is to say, the principle of this double secret room is caused by this."
