Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Gao Cheng closed the wooden door from inside.

The latch is just a simple iron rod, and the door is only an iron hook. Although it is not complicated, it is quite difficult to use any tool to latch it from the outside, at least in this photography studio.

But it's not absolutely impossible to make a secret room...

Gao Cheng held the iron rods with obvious friction marks. They all looked very new. In addition, there were a lot of scratches on the door, especially on the top of the hook. There were impact dents on the left and right areas, which could vaguely match the iron rods. .

The police may not have found these traces during the inspection, but they didn't pay attention to them, because these alone can't explain much.

Gao Cheng closed his eyes slightly and walked to the position where Lin Yuan Taoxiang was suspended again, holding his chin.

At that time, there was another suspicious place. He remembered that the buckles on the heels of the socks seemed to be loose.

Different from ordinary modern socks, the socks worn by Hayashibara Momoka are also called foot bags, which are ancient Japanese socks. They first appeared in China and were specially designed to match clogs.

Unlike the past with buttons to buckle the foot bag, the metal hooks are now mainly used. Of course, it is strange that the heel of the foot bag of Lin Yuan Taoxiang is not buckled anyway. Even if you don’t wear clogs, there is no reason to unbuckle when you commit suicide. …

Gao Cheng thought about picking up the iron rod, and then looked up at the beam.

If the clasp was released by the murderer, it would happen to be able to wrap the iron rod with the two feet of the corpse. The marks on the two wooden doors seemed to be less simple. There must be some connection between them.

"and many more."

Gao Cheng glanced across the wooden door, then suddenly looked back at the beam.

The position of Lin Yuan Taoxiang's suspension is a bit weird, and it happens to face the middle of the two wooden doors with her back...

The wooden door bolted from the inside, the door bolt still has the marks of friction or even impact on the door, the corpse hanging from the exit with the back, don’t buckle the loose foot covers...Finally, there is...

Gao Cheng looked at the faint scratches of the rope on the beams of the room, squinted his eyes slightly, and the details flashed in front of him. The surroundings in the fast-moving thinking room were all virtualized, and the scene seemed to return to the time of the crime as if back in time.

"I understand."

...

"What's the matter? Why are we all called here?"

Outside the waiting room, everyone in the crew was brought over by the dog-breeding detective in confusion.

Inugai couldn't figure out the situation and said, "Actually, the detective from Tokyo asked me to summon everyone."

Everyone looked dissatisfied: "Taoxiang committed suicide, isn't the case over?"

"That's how it is said," Inujii said helplessly, "but he said he must come over, and what he said has confirmed that Miss Taoxiang is not suicide..."

"What the hell?" The director felt annoyed. "Are you a policeman, why bother with him? This is a secret room. It is impossible to kill!"

"Impossible?" Gao Cheng opened the wooden door and appeared in front of everyone, with a light smile, "Why do you think it is impossible?"

"Anything else? Just look at it, right?" supporting actor Ryuji Iwasaki shouted to please the director.

"I know it by looking at it?" Gao Cheng asked Ryuji Iwasaki, who looked at the wicked eyebrows, "What did you see? Is it impossible to just see the door bolted from the inside? Then I'll ask you, what the earth is like? Is it round or square?"

Iwasaki Ryuji felt inexplicable: "Of course it is round..."

Gao Cheng asked, "How do you know it is round? You can see it?"

"This," Iwasaki Ryuji Shigo looked at the director, "Everyone knows this..."

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "That means you can't see it, right?"

"These are totally different things!" Iwasaki Ryuji said angrily. "Now it's the secret room problem!"

"Then I will show you how impossible it is."

Gao Cheng stopped paying attention to the supporting role, and turned to the dog breed detective and the director and his group said: "Everyone, I will explain the murderer's secret room method now. You can see if it works."

The dogs looked at each other, and dubiously followed Gao Cheng into Linyuan Taoxiang's waiting room.

Dummy props have been prepared in the house, and the scene of Lin Yuan Taoxiang hanging to death is reproduced. Even the length of the rope and the suspension position are exactly the same.

"After the prisoner killed Ms. Taoxiang, he just hung Ms. Taoxiang from the beam of the room. Everyone, look at the way the rope hangs." Gao Cheng pushed the dummy. "It looks like a pendulum, isn't it? The prisoner just used Ms. Taoxiang. 'S body completes the secret chamber technique."

"How is this possible?" Inujii shook his head and smiled, "Could the murderer be able to let the corpse bolt the door by itself?"

"Yes," Gao Cheng handed the iron bar door latch to the dog feeder. "The technique is not complicated. Careful investigation can still find many doubts. Miss Taoxiang's foot cover is loose. If the prisoner inserts both ends of the door latch. Don't click the gap, use the corpse's legs to gently clamp and fix it..."

"Detective Kioto," Inugai frowned, "This is all because of a murderer, maybe Miss Momoka loosened it by herself?"

Speaking of the dog feed, he patted Gao Cheng's shoulder and said earnestly: "I know that you detectives like reasoning, but you can't assume that our police are all fools because of this. We have also found out what you said, but not Can't explain anything, and we also found evidence in Miss Taoxiang's personal belongings."

"evidence?"

"It's a magazine used to cut characters and spell threat letters~www.NovelMTL.com~ even the wheat flour you mentioned was found. All these show that Miss Taoxiang committed suicide because of the previous explosion..."

"What about these traces?" Gao Cheng walked to the door and pointed to the bump on the wooden door.

"What?" Dog feed was taken aback.

"If Miss Taoxiang committed suicide in fear of sin, are these traces also caused by her?"

Gao Cheng didn't say much, he just started to explain the murderer's last trick.

"I just talked about the pendulum. The murderer pulled the hanging corpse to the door with the door open. After letting go, the corpse would swing in the opposite direction...

"At this moment, the murderer closed the doors on both sides, and the heel of the corpse that was swung again just hit the door, and the iron rod would automatically latch the door because of the impact.

While talking, Gao Cheng simulated it with a dummy.

"But is it really that simple to bolt?" Inujii asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's impossible to succeed in one shot," Gao Cheng smiled. "The wooden door and the latch have a lot of scratches. The murderer should try this technique many times, right?"

"This……"

Inujii was speechless, and looked repeatedly at the iron bar door latch in his hand and the traces on the wooden door.

It doesn't sound too complicated, but it's too simple, but before Gao Cheng explained it, he couldn't think of this at all...

"Is it really not suicide?"

Inugai looked at Gao Sung with a trembling gaze. The detective from Tokyo just entered the scene and judged that it was a homicide. Is it really that powerful?

"Who the **** is the murderer?"

The crowd swallowed and looked at Gao Cheng's back.

"I don't know this yet, but," Gao Cheng glanced across the crowd one by one, "the prisoner should be among you!"

"Eh?!"
