Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

On the third floor of the hotel, the archaeologist Danze Daogui's room, when the village chief opened the door with a spare key, there was only a bald old man lying by the window in pain.

Hattori asked the village chief, "Is there only one spare key for this room?"

"Yeah, just on me." The village head replied.

"Murder in a secret room..."

Hattori looked at Gao Cheng downstairs who was putting out the fire in a deep voice.

Except for He Ye who was hiding in the room just now, the half-breed brother, the aunt with glasses, and this old man all opened the windows because of the sudden commotion, and the village chief was with them again, which means that no one broke into this room.

Conan looked at the corpse and said, "The cause of death was poisoning. There are two red spots under the chin, which look like marks from a snake bite..."

"Hey," Hattori also saw the wound, sweating on his face, "Does that really exist? That monster called Nue..."

The tail of the nue bird is a poisonous snake, and the monster did indeed show a snake-like tail when it appeared.

Although he doesn't really believe in such things, things are indeed beyond his understanding now.

What kind of technique should be used to achieve this level of reality?

Hattori's fingers trembled a little.

In any case, the prisoner's layout still affected him after all, and anyone who has seen that kind of monster with his own eyes will find it hard to understand.

And now, before the previous puzzle was solved, the second puzzle appeared again.

Downstairs in the hotel, after Gao Cheng extinguished the fire, he put the fire extinguisher back and carefully inspected the scene of the fire.

As a bystander, although many details are not as clear as the parties involved, but relatively speaking, the problem is quite clear.

Just a simple understanding, he found many problems.

It must not be a coincidence that the prisoner set fire to the same place twice, that is, only this place is suitable for magic tricks.

A fixed stage, and then props...

Gao Cheng stood at the place where everyone stopped when they ran out of the hotel gate, and quickly analyzed it in his mind based on the real scene.

On the right hand side is where the fire started and monsters appeared,

The people who ran out of the hotel were blocked by the fire and could not approach, and there was a big tree next to it.

Gao Cheng looked at the tree against the wall. It was two or three stories high with luxuriant branches. From his position, it happened to divide the hotel building into two parts.

He is not a magician, but he knows magic very well, especially the magic techniques used in the case.

This time the prisoner is probably using "optical illusions". As long as he is not affected by preconceived ideas and jumps out to see, it is actually not a particularly clever technique.

Because the specific requirements are too high, the more restrictive the method, the easier it is to be seen through.

"rustle."

Gao Cheng stepped on the scorched grass and found a burnt stick near the corner of the wall, with the remaining cloth wrapped around it, which was the residue of the first fire.

At that time, there must be some kind of arrangement here, and there is only one chance to destroy the props, which is to dismantle the props and burn them while others are returning to the hotel to get fire extinguishers and other tools.

Gao Cheng raised his head.

There is no one on the first floor, the second floor is the room of the lady with glasses, and the third floor is Michiki Tanzawa's room.

Before the police came, Gao Cheng quickly ran upstairs and walked into the murder scene.

Just now he had heard the news that Danze Daogui died of poison, and he suspected that he was bitten on the chin by a snake.

"Kiroto," Hattori said with a serious expression as he stood beside Danzawa Michiki's body, "It seems that the matter is not simple. Two invited experts have been killed, especially Mr. Danzawa. How could you kill him like this?"

Gao Cheng squatted down to check the wound, and asked Hattori: "Compared to this, I heard a dog barking just now, did anyone bring the dog here?"

"You mean the dog in the restaurant," Hattori said in a daze, "it was brought by the foreigner 16 years ago. According to the village chief, it was adopted by the neighbors after the accident, but no matter what. It's going to escape here, so let it stay, and it seems that occasionally someone will feed it."

"What about the tree downstairs?" Gao Cheng continued to ask, "The other trees in front of the hotel are all pointed pines and evergreens, but the one in front of this one is of a different kind."

Gao Cheng walked to the window and looked at the big tree that was obviously more able to block the view than the pines and cypresses.

No matter how dilapidated the hotel is, such big trees should not be planted in front of the guest room windows. The rooms on the first and second floors must have very poor light, especially the room on the second floor where the mixed-race brother lived, which is almost completely covered by leaves Living.

"We also asked the village chief," Hattori shrugged helplessly, "but he hasn't been here for a long time, so I don't know much about it."

Seeing that Gaocheng was still so calm, Hattori couldn't help asking: "Hey, Kido, the mystery of the monster, do you have a clue?"

No way, this guy obviously hasn't been involved in the case much, why do you feel that the investigation is progressing faster than him and Kudo?

"I probably know who the murderer is."

Gao Cheng said directly without shy away.

"It's just that there are still...huh?"

Only half of the window in the room was open. Gao Cheng tried to open the other side, but found that it couldn't be opened at all.

The left side seems to be fixed dead...

In this way, if Danze Daogui leans out to check the situation, he can only look at the situation from the right side, and the position is about one person wide. In this case, as long as Danze opens the window and leans out, the position is fixed.

If the method of killing is blowing poisonous needles, the aunt with glasses on the second floor can attack accurately, and at the same time, the half-breed brother in the third room on the third floor can also attack without being blocked by the half-open window.

The most suspicious one is of course the aunt with glasses, because the victim's wound is under the chin.

Gao Cheng himself is also very suspicious of the glasses lady.

The method used when the monster appeared for the first time can only be achieved by the glasses lady.

However, the mixed-race brother may not be without the possibility of being an accomplice.

One thing is strange, among the invited people, only the half-blood brother is not necessary, and Hattori, why did the prisoner specially find a detective to come over, the original invite is the detective Mori Kogoro.

"You also think there is a problem," Hattori let go of his depression, and analyzed, "From the position of the room, Ms. Masuko in the room directly below is the most suspicious. You can use the The long stick with the poisonous needle installed in advance directly stabs it, it's just..."

Hattori shook his head and frowned, "When we went to collect Ms. Masuko's cell phone, we also checked her room, and found nothing like a long stick."

"Do you remember what items are in the room?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Ah, I did take a photo."

Hattori took out his phone with a hint of doubt.

"The main contents are the two one-liter bottles of soda water sent by the village chief, then the white wine, wine glasses, corkscrew...the rest are the ballpoint pens, adhesive tape, etc. in Miss Masuko's bag, as well as needles and threads bag and notebook,

The little brother’s room was also photographed, three bottles of 500ml Coke, two bags of potato chips, a pocket knife, a selfie stick, cigarettes and a lighter, a small model that was supposed to pass the time, and specially bought glue,

Neither of them seemed to have anything that could be used as a poisonous weapon, and the village chief who was with us at the time was just carrying a mop. Damn it, I can't figure it out at all! "

Hattori handed the phone to Gaocheng, and scratched his hair in annoyance.

"The most troublesome thing is, did Mr. Danzig decide to change the room by himself, or do you think the murderer is really that monster?"

"of course not."

Gao Cheng looked at the phone photo and chuckled.

"It was Mr. Danzig who changed the room, but it wasn't entirely his own idea. The prisoner may have planned for him to move to the third floor from the beginning."

He was there when the room was exchanged, and the first one who rushed to change rooms with Xiaolan was the glasses lady, and then Danze found an excuse to intervene.

The cause was that a notebook from 16 years ago was found in a drawer in this room.

It is not normal to say that there is no plan behind this...

So, if he guessed correctly, the culprit is the glasses lady, the magic writer, who graduated from the University of Fine Arts, and Masuko Shie who has been involved in the set of the crew.

All clues point to this woman.
