Reasoning Notes

Chapter 144 Reasoning Notes 4: Return of Ye Shenyue (6)
The purpose of the death priest has been achieved, and he has already plunged the whole city into a panic.It is said that there are fewer and fewer young people who choose to live alone. They would rather go home to live with their parents or share the rent with several people.There was even a detective team established by the people, preparing to capture Ryuk, the god of death.Some criminal psychology experts said that if this continues, the whole city will suffer from Stockholm disease...

"Get out of the way! I'll kick the door!" Meng Jin grabbed the pistol nervously, took a few steps back, and kicked the door open with all his strength.

Several people entered the dimly lit room.

Thick curtains block out the sun from outside.In the dark field of vision, the shadows of the furniture moved like ghosts.The cool air passed over the ears and temples, and the smell of blood wafted.

"Vampire...don't come here! I'm not afraid...afraid of you..." Despite saying this, Xia Zao'an's feet were shaking like cotton, and her crude cross seemed to be made of two wooden sticks. It was nailed up, and now it is also crooked.

Mikaka looked around nervously, for fear that an uninvited guest would suddenly jump out of the darkness.

Meng Jin walked towards the window.He seemed to trip over something when he passed the living room, he gasped, but he insisted on walking to the window and opened the curtains.Bright light instantly filled the entire room, and a terrifying scene was nailed into everyone's pupils.

A young woman was lying on the floor of the living room, her complexion pale and bloodless.A pair of miserable eyes stared blankly at the bright world.

"She's dead." Meng Jin said after squatting down to inspect.

There were deep holes in her neck from two teeth.

"Dead, dead..." Xia Zao'an's face was as pale as if she had been bitten by a vampire.

"Plop—" She wobbled and fell down following the force of gravity.

He opened his eyes again.

He had forgotten how long he had been asleep.

Last time, he found his name back.He used to be a detective named Yi Tianjing.And now, his name is -- Edison.

Edison shook his head, his mind cleared up a lot.He saw the scene in the room and familiar faces.

"Ah! You're awake!" Mikaka became excited, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you Edison?"

"Yes!" Edison stood up, "What is this?" He took off the garlic and the cross hanging around his neck.

"This is Xia Zaoan's use to cure vampires."

"There are no vampires in the world." Edison smiled slightly after listening to Mikaka's explanation.Seeing this kind of smile, Mikaka felt relieved all of a sudden.

"But, this is a secret room!" Meng Jin, who had already inspected the scene, walked over and said.

"I heard that all the previous 44 cases were secret rooms, is that true?" When he asked this question, Edison had already squatted down to check the condition of the corpse.

"Yeah, the previous ones were all secret rooms, and we couldn't solve any of them." Meng Jin also squatted beside the corpse.The corpse's white eyes stared at him a little apprehensively, and he turned his face away slightly.

Edison still had a serious expression. He opened the tooth hole on the neck of the corpse with two fingers, and then carefully inspected other parts of the corpse.Finally, he pointed to the black tooth hole on the neck of the corpse and said: "If you guessed correctly, the deceased was drained of blood with a syringe through this tooth hole. Look here, because he was stretched for a long time, There are signs of wear and tear around the cavity. Didn't you find that in the autopsy? You should get some reading glasses."

"This..." Meng Jin's face turned blue for a while, "Maybe it's an oversight by the forensic doctor. So it's not a vampire killing people?"

"Of course, how can there be vampires in the world?" Edison clapped his hands, stood up, and looked around everything in the room with a calm gaze, "This is a man-made murder. The problem now is how to solve the mystery of this secret room. I What is curious is how the death priest can create so many secret rooms. You know, the secret rooms are made according to the conditions of the scene, and the tricks are not the same, and the current secret room tricks are only more than a hundred. How did he come up with 1000 secret room tricks? ?”

"We are also confused about this. But we made a video record of the crime scene, maybe you can find the flaw after watching it." Meng Jin scratched the back of his head in distress.

"Yeah." Edison responded softly, wandering around the room.

The windows of this room were tightly closed, and there were no signs of tampering.The only way to leave this room is through the door.If using the key...

"By the way, where is the key to this room? It won't be in the pocket of the corpse, right?" Edison remembered the usual secret room trick - the murderer used a fishing line to send the key back to the dead body.But obviously, the murderer in this secret room did not use this trick, because the key fell in a dead corner.

There is nothing around the blind spot that can be used by the fishing line.

"Huh?" Edison became interested in the location of the key, and he walked to the corner facing away from the door, "Why did the key fall here?"

Mikaka also couldn't figure out how to make the key drop there.Unless the person who threw the key was inside the house, because there is no way to throw the key into this place from outside the house, and the murderer can only throw the key in through the crack of the door at best.

Edison picked up the key and paused for a moment, with unusual doubts in his eyes: "Why is it wet here?"

Mi Kaka and Meng Jin walked over to have a look.There were water marks from the keys on the floor and some moisture still remained on the back of the keys.

"Was the key soaked in water before?" asked Mikaka.

"It's also possible." Edison put the key back.

"But why do you want to do that?"

"Well...let me think about it." Edison frowned, his mind spinning rapidly.He sat on the sofa with his head drooping slightly, at a 45-degree angle to the coffee table.

Just then, Meng Jin's colleague brought the landlord.Upon inquiry, there was no spare key for this room.That is, the only key is inside the house.

"It's really a secret room!" Meng Jin sighed with some complicated emotions, and glanced at Edison to the side.He was still thinking, the muscles of his face were still, and he was sitting on the sofa like a statue.

The sound of playing a ball came from the basketball court downstairs of the residents, passing through the eardrums and entering the brain.

The ball... yes, the ball can bounce and roll to any corner.

Edison stood up suddenly, his eyes shining like stars in the dark night.As he walked towards the door, Mi Kaka and Meng Jin followed him all the time. They knew that Detective L was about to start reasoning.Sure enough, a voice sounded in the house.

"The mystery of the Chamber of Secrets has been solved."

"That's amazing!" Mi Kaka couldn't help applauding.

"It wasn't me who was talking just now!" Edison turned his head, with a slumped face.

"Huh? Who is that?"

"Outside the door..." Edison lowered his voice and pointed to the door.

Only to hear the voice from the other side.

"It's a ball, to be precise, a hockey puck. The murderer sealed the key with ice, made it into a ball shape, and threw it into the house. The ice ball hit the furniture in the house, bounced, and rolled to a dead corner. However, this was not part of the murderer's plan." Inside, the murderer's purpose was just to throw the key in, and the ice puck rolled unexpectedly, it just happened to roll at a weird angle. After the ice melted and evaporated, the so-called mystery of the secret room was completed."

The reasoning process narrated by that voice shocked everyone in the room.

Meng Jin wanted to open the door to see the real face of the other party, but Edison stretched out his hand to stop him: "One more thing, how did the murderer throw the ice hockey into the room? Such a small gap in the door can barely fit a key."

"Hmph." The other party smiled contemptuously.However, he did not explain.

The door lock clicked.Is he coming in?
But the man just kept shaking the doorknob, showing no intention of coming in.The metal "click" sound in the room lasted for a minute, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people nervous.No one knew what the man was trying to do, so Meng Jin put his hand on the police gun on his waist vigilantly.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the door lock fell off.A small round hole appeared in the door, and an eye peeped in through the hole.

The three people standing at the door held their breath suddenly, and the breathtaking eyes scanned everyone coldly, sharp and cold, giving people a feeling of no body temperature at all.Slowly, the stagnant air moved slightly again.

I saw that the door lock slowly returned to its original shape. It turned out that it was connected with the door handle on the other side by a thin thread.The person outside the door pulled the door lock back to its original position, and then installed the door handle and door lock together from the outside.

"Now you should know where the murderer threw the ice hockey into the room?" Then the man smiled again, very lightly but full of evil spirit: "L, how about my reasoning?"

"Exactly, basically copied what I want to say." Edison nodded.

And Mi Kaka and Meng Jin had been speechless by the mysterious man outside the door—someone actually reasoned it out before Edison? !
"Do you know who I am?"

"I really failed you. I only know big people like Obama," Edison said in a resigned tone. "And, I can't recognize who you are because you use a voice changer. So I think you should It's some nobody I know."

"We've known each other for a long time."

"Oh, so we're old friends?"

"No, we are not friends," he said, "we are rivals, destined rivals!"

As soon as the voice fell, the door creaked and opened slowly.
