"Hey, if it's ten centimeters, you can get it even if you put your feet on it, right?"

Mouri Kogoro on the side couldn't help but speak after hearing what Kazuha said.

"So this is why Hattori and the others came to Tokyo." Karasawa said after hearing more detailed information: "After all, there is such a big problem, so naturally it is impossible to dismiss it as a suicide."

"I am more inclined to believe that the chair was a prop deliberately placed by the prisoner's feet to mislead the search in order to make it appear that Mr. Guanyue committed suicide."

Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and smiled: "And because Mr. Kanzuki's room was not locked at the time of the crime, it is basically certain that he was the one who killed him."

"C-could it be said that the serial murderer of Hitochi Kiriya did it?" Xiaolan swallowed her saliva and guessed.

"No, Hitochi Kiri also later appeared in Hiroshima and was arrested by the police." Karasawa smiled and said: "His wanted order has been cancelled."

"And he has been staying at the Internet cafe and coffee shop this month." Otaki added with a smile.

"But weren't you all in ambush outside at that time?" Mouri Kogoro asked puzzledly: "Even if the door of the room is unlocked, how did the prisoner get in and out of the room?"

"Just because these are doubtful points, this kid came to Tokyo with Otaki Criminal to solve the mystery of the secret room murder." Karasawa said with a smile.

"Yeah, after all, it's "live a hundred times"."

Hattori Heiji smiled and said: "And I have obtained the consent of the deceased's family and am now preparing to go to the apartment where the crime occurred to investigate."

"It's not too late, let's set off." Tang Ze said with a smile: "I knew you were coming, so I specially drove a seven-seater car so that we can sit down."

"Please excuse me." Hattori Heiji said with a smile.

"Nothing, just go downstairs."

Tangze smiled and went downstairs first, followed by the others. Under the guidance of Otaki Criminal, Tangze drove to the downstairs of an apartment.

This apartment doesn't look too high, it looks like it's seven or eight stories high. Judging from the exterior decoration, it's a good apartment. The people living here should be in relatively good condition.

"Speaking of which, the crime scene remains the same, right?" After getting on the elevator, Mouri Kogoro looked at Otaki and asked.

"That's right." Otaki nodded and said, "Although the victim's daughter has already promised in advance that she will go to the house tomorrow to take away all the belongings."

"Time is not an issue."

Hattori Heiji smiled nonchalantly: "There are three of us here. It would be great if we solved the secret room conspiracy today."

While they were talking, the elevator was slowly rising, and Yuanshan and Ye looked at the window of the elevator door and said in wonder: "Xiaolan, look at this elevator. It actually has windows!"

It's normal for Toyama and Ye to be novel, because this elevator is not completely sealed like ordinary elevators. Each of the two doors has a rectangular window, with glass on the outside and barbed wire on the inside.

"It seems to be quite common in recent times." Xiaolan looked at the scene outside the window and said with a smile.

"You two are really noisy!" Hattori Heiji heard the two laughing and said angrily: "You must know that we are not here to have fun!"

"I know that."

After being scolded by Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha raised his chin in displeasure and said with a proud look on his face: "But there are also important tasks that only I, Toyama Kazuha, can accomplish!"

After hearing Yuan Shan and Ye's words, everyone present looked at each other unconsciously, wondering what she meant by the "important mission" she vowed to say.

However, Toyama Kazuha had no intention of explaining. After arriving at the floor with the elevator, he followed Hattori Heiji to the apartment where the crime occurred.

After she entered the living room at the lead, she stopped everyone and immediately took out her mobile phone and lay on the floor to carefully examine the chair that had fallen on the ground.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. This chair is exactly the same as the one I have at home. The color of the wood and the design of the chair are exactly the same!"

After Toyama and Ye confirmed this, they turned to look at Hattori Heiji: "Sure enough, this case is very strange, Heiji!"

"I've said this from the beginning." Hattori Heiji said with his arms folded and his dead eyes drooping.

"Mission accomplished~"

Toyama Kazuha on the side ignored Hattori Heiji's impatient words and saluted Xiaoran playfully.

And Xiaolan also smiled and applauded her. The two girls were in perfect harmony.

'It doesn't matter even if you don't have to come over to confirm the height of the chair...'

Conan on the side saw the happy scene of the two people and couldn't help but blushed and complained in his heart: 'After all, just measuring is enough...'

Tangze, on the other hand, watched He Ye finish his work with a smile, without the slightest thought of complaining.

After all, there was no need to guess what the girl was thinking. Confirming the chair was just an excuse. In fact, Toyama Kazuha came to Tokyo with Hattori Heiji.

"By the way, what tricks did the prisoner use to avoid police surveillance?" Mouri Kogoro looked around the room and said, "This looks like an ordinary room..."

"Is there some secret passage that can sneak into the room?" Criminal Otaki looked around and couldn't help but guess.

"It's unlikely. Even an ordinary apartment here doesn't have the conditions for a secret passage." Tangze checked the surroundings and then looked at the rope on the central air conditioner: "On the contrary, this rope is hung a bit high."

Having said this, Tang Ze looked at the ground again, only to find that some debris had fallen from the bottom of the hanging rope.

Karasawa put on white gloves and picked up the scraps on the ground. He found that they were semi-circular pencil scraps that had been sharpened with a pencil sharpener.

"Mr. Kanyue really likes to use pencils." Conan on the side saw the pencil scraps in Tangze's hand and pointed to the pen holder next to him: "Look at the pen holder under the TV, it's full of pencils. .”

"The key thing is why this thing fell in this location."

Tang Ze pointed to the top: "This is basically the middle where the deceased hanged himself. Judging from the room, the owner of the house must be very clean."

"Yes, the sweeping robot is still there." Conan nodded in agreement: "And the long green cylindrical trash can that fell to the ground next to it is also very strange."

“Indeed, a clean-minded homeowner is less likely to let a trash can fall to the ground…”

Karasawa suddenly froze mid-sentence, and Conan on the side had the same expression as him.

Obviously, after seeing these clues, the same reasoning results flashed through their minds involuntarily.

The two came to Hattori Heiji. Karasawa looked at the sweeping robot beside him and said, "We all have the same idea."

"Yes, that should be the answer." Hattori Heiji pointed at the sweeping robot on the ground.

"Let's start it up and take a look." Tang Ze gestured.

"Eh!?" Hearing Tang Ze's words, Heye and Xiaolan on the side were a little worried and said, "Is it okay? Isn't this the crime scene?"

"To solve the puzzle, this is necessary." Hattori Heiji smiled and reached out to start the sweeping robot.

The round sweeping robot quickly started moving after being started.

Hattori Heiji came to the long trash can and picked it up: "This is the item that Mr. Kanzuki used as a stepping stone when he hanged himself."

"The pencil scraps were just found right under the rope."

Karasawa pointed out the location to Hattori Heiji, and immediately explained to Xiaolan and others: "In order to be able to stand on it, he deliberately put the trash can upside down, and the pencil shavings fell directly under the rope, which is evidence.

After the trash can was turned upside down, all the pencil shavings stuck at the bottom of the inside of the trash can fell out. "

Following Karasawa's explanation, Hattori Heiji also placed the trash can upside down under the rope: "Look, this way the height of the trash can is higher than the chair."

"But, but... Xiaoping, when I came in to check the situation, it was not like this at all." Otaki Criminal said with some hesitation.

"Don't worry, you'll find out after you read it."

Tangze said with a smile: "As long as he lifts the trash can between the legs of the chair when he is about to hang himself, the sweeping robot running after that will push the trash can to the corner of the room.

After the sweeping robot returns to the charging socket, this incredible hanging scene is completed. "

"And the cleaning circuit of the cleaning robot is set like this, which is the best evidence."

Hattori Heiji watched the sweeping robot push the trash can to the corner: "I guess I put obstacles in the middle of the room before, so that the sweeping robot remembered this route."

"Wait, wait a minute!" When Kogoro Mouri and Criminal Otaki heard this, their faces showed signs of astonishment: "Then let's talk about this case..."

"Yes, no matter how you look at it, this is a suicide case." Tang Ze nodded.

After coming to this conclusion, Otaki Criminal was relieved because this case was quite stressful for them.

After all, under their supervision, the target person was actually killed. If it was really a homicide, it would be their dereliction of duty.

Now that it is determined to be suicide, it has nothing to do with them.

However, it was a good thing for Otaki to be punished, but for Hattori Heiji, the result was that he was directly hopeless.

Looking at Hattori Heiji who was leaning against the wall with a look of exhaustion and loss of dreams, Toyama and Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Are you okay, Heiji?"

"How could you be so depressed..." Conan on the side couldn't help but said with shame.

"Speaking of which, why did Mr. Guanyue choose that way of death?"

Mouri Kogoro on the side looked at Otaki Criminal and asked with some confusion: "Do you have any clues?"

"According to our investigation, Mr. Guanyue borrowed a large amount of money because his stock investment failed."

Upon hearing this, Otaki Criminal recalled the information he had investigated before and said: "And he hated the securities broker who caused his failure.

I once said at the wine table that I would drag that person to hell with me.

Because we didn't rule out homicide before, we couldn't be sure.

But now, I think the reason why Mr. Guanyue wanted the suicide case to look like homicide was because he wanted to take revenge on the securities broker. "

"So that's it."

Mouri Kogoro nodded clearly, and then sighed with emotion: "But he is really unlucky.

Perhaps even he could not have imagined that there were criminals monitoring the room near his room. As a result, no one suspected the possibility of homicide, and it was immediately ruled a suicide case. "

Speaking of this, Mouri Kogoro said: "By the way, since it is a frame-up, it means that the securities broker also lives nearby?"

"Not only is it nearby, the securities broker moved into this apartment almost last year." Otaki Criminal recalled this: "I remember his name is..."

"Are you talking about Mr. Bupu who lives on the second floor? That guy has caused a lot of trouble to everyone living here."

At this moment, a fat woman next to her who was also waiting for the elevator couldn't help but complain: "That man would strike up a conversation with the residents while they were waiting for the elevator, and talk about stocks.

At the beginning, he will let you make a little money, but after we spend a lot of money, we will suddenly suffer serious losses. "

Speaking of this, the fat woman with blond hair in front of her said angrily: "My husband almost believed his sweet talk and invested a large amount of money.

It took a lot of effort on my part to stop my husband. "

"So that's it..." Looking at the complaining woman from Jiraishi, Mouri Kogoro said with a look of shame on his face: "That guy is really too much."

"Who says it's not?"

The fat woman agreed: "He is even called a man who looks like the God of Death. He even looks like the God of Death.

Thin face and sunken eyes, coupled with long sparse hair and pale complexion..."

Before he finished speaking, the elevator on the side slowly rose, and a man in a green suit stood in the elevator and appeared in front of everyone as it rose.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

The fat woman pointed at the elevator, and just when Tang Ze and others turned their attention away from her to look at the elevator, the man who slowly rose up in front of everyone raised a gun to his head and shot him without hesitation. The gun shot himself in the head!
  "boom!!"

Even people like Karasawa, Otaki, and Mouri Kogoro who had done criminal work were shocked by the other party's sudden suicide, and they were momentarily absent-minded.

The huge gunshots and the man falling to the ground also caused huge panic among everyone, causing Xiaolan and the two of them to scream.

"Damn it, the elevator keeps going up again!"

After reacting, Hattori Heiji quickly came to the elevator and pressed the down button, but the elevator kept going upstairs.

"Uncle Otaki, where are the stairs?" Hattori Heiji asked quickly.

"This, this...I remember..." Otaki stammered, not knowing how to describe it. After all, he was not familiar with this place.

"You live here, you should know!" Hattori Heiji looked at the woman next to him again, but the other woman didn't listen to his question at all.

Obviously, the scene just now had frightened the woman in front of her.
