Chapter 37 Reasoning Notes 1:12 Tsundere Detective (37)
Poker?At the word, our nerves tense.We can't really blame our allergic reaction, after all, these days, playing cards have appeared in front of our eyes many times.It is like the sign of the god of death, which always appears with death.

I blurted out: "It can't be a cube 9!"

The three policemen who were interrupted by me looked over in unison, and the oldest criminal policeman frowned immediately and pointed at us: "Hey, what are you children doing here? Did you let it in? There's no reason for that, get out, or I'll arrest you!"

"Don't say that!" Li Xiaochong said with a smile on his face, "We are also here to help solve the case!"

"Nonsense!" The criminal police uncle scolded very seriously, "This is not a place for you middle school students to play detective games!"

Being reprimanded by him like this, Li Xiaochong didn't know what to say, so he stood silently.

Uncle Interpol came over.As the light grew brighter, his face became clearer.He is a thin build, about 50 years old, wearing a gray suit.His eyes were narrowed into a narrow slit, and his short beard was solemnly attached to his chin.The whole person looks very shrewd, giving people an unapproachable feeling.

"Go back to school and study!" He grabbed the arms of me and Li Xiaochong with one hand.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Li Xiaochong was so anxious that his tone of voice changed, "We are really here to solve the case, and I'm not a middle school student, I'm half a policeman! Also, you know this young man Who is it?"

"Who is it?" The criminal policeman stopped his hands, narrowed his eyes, and looked at me.

"He is the younger brother of Captain Mijie, a famous detective in the second grade of Xiangyun High School!"

"Oh." The detective uncle nodded, still grabbing our arms, "Even if Mijie's father is here, he can't enter the scene of the crime casually!"

"Ah!" Li Xiaochong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect to meet a stinky old man with business affairs.

"Wait a minute." I said this time, "I don't think Zhong Xintong committed suicide, but was murdered."

"What?" The criminal policeman was about to throw us out, but when he heard me say that, he immediately stopped and asked with interest, "Why do you conclude that she was murdered?"

"Brother, I want to ask you, is this crime scene a secret room?"

"Huh?" The criminal police uncle showed a shocked expression, "How do you know?"

"Because the evil spirit said that the night he was caught..." I recounted the situation that night.

The criminal policeman nodded again and again, and said: "According to what you said, it is indeed very likely that the evil spirit is planning to kill again, but... the situation you reasoned is impossible."

"why?"

"Because the evil spirit is still in the detention center. Let me ask, how did he come out to kill people?!"

"This is not necessarily true?" I strongly questioned this.

The criminal police uncle knocked me on the head: "Little brother, you think too much. Do you think that the detention center is for anyone to come in and out at will? But, having said that, you really caught that troublesome evil spirit?"

"It's none of my business, it was caught by the crush behind me."

"Pretty? You mean this... girl?"

The criminal police uncle looked behind me, and immediately showed a dumbfounding expression.When I looked back, I was also stupid.Xia Zao'an had already fainted to the ground at some point, foaming at the mouth, which perfectly interpreted the state of a person who was frightened to death.

Oh, I almost forgot, this girl faints when she sees a dead person.This saves trouble, and when she wakes up, Edison, who is extremely clever, will appear on the stage.

Edison got up from the ground, like a beautiful sleep, he stretched himself.

"What's wrong?" he asked, "Is there another case?" He glanced into the room, "Zhong Xintong is dead? Damn it! I didn't expect the evil spirit to do it!" He said as he spoke. He pulled up the cordon at the door and got in.

The criminal police uncle at the side saw him and hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, you can't come in here."

"What's the matter?" Edison said to the criminal police uncle indifferently, "I will borrow your gloves."

Edison snatched Uncle Interpol's gloves without authorization, put them on his hands, and immediately inspected them carefully.The criminal police uncle had a dark face, but he didn't make a sound. He just followed behind Edison, probably wondering what this high school girl could do.

"The windows are tightly closed from the inside, and there are no secret passages around, not even a small hole. Well... It can be said that this is an airtight room." After checking, Edison reasoned and walked In front of the first police officer who arrived at the scene, "Hey, brother, you must have broken in to find the body, right?"

"Brother..." The police officer widened his eyes, unable to believe that a high school girl dared to call herself that.He pretended to be too lazy to pay attention to her, but when he saw the policeman behind Edison winking, he could only answer patiently, "That's right, that's right, the door was broken into."

"So, there's no key or anything, so the door has to be knocked open?"

"That's not true. The key is there, but the door of the room is locked."

"Oh? But, the door of this room doesn't have a bolt or a door chain. How is it locked?"

"Chair!" The policeman pointed to a white and elegant chair on one side of the room. "That chair has found a good fulcrum against the door. Therefore, even if there is a key, it is useless. Understand?"

"Well. In this way, the secret room is completed. But how did the evil spirit do it?" Edison put his index finger between his eyebrows and began to meditate.

The uncle criminal policeman who had been watching couldn't hold back: "They say it can't be done by evil spirits! He is obviously in the detention center, how could he escape to kill people, and this is a secret room! It's obvious , Zhong Xintong's future was ruined because of the recent incident, and she committed suicide in despair!"

"No, not suicide." Edison said with certainty.

"Then your basis is..." Uncle Interpol folded his arms and looked at Edison.

"The state of the corpse." Edison pointed to the corpse beside the bed. "Looking at her posture, it's more like she fainted suddenly and then died slowly. If a person commits suicide, I think that person should choose a more normal one." For example, sleeping on the bed, or sitting on the sofa is fine, but her posture is really weird."

"It makes sense for you to say so." The criminal police uncle touched his chin, and stroked his gray beard back and forth with his fingers, "But, how to explain the secret room? Apart from Zhong Xintong's fingerprints on the chair, no other fingerprints can be found. How did the murderer create this secret room?"

"Well... I haven't figured it out yet. I have to ask the housekeeper, Ah Yin, to inquire about some things."

The criminal police uncle immediately asked his companion to find Ah Yin.

As soon as Edison saw A Yin, he asked, "Hey, have you put away the things I asked you to put away that night?"

"Put it away." Ah Yin nodded, still in shock, her pale face was bloodless.

"What are you putting?" We, who were confused about the situation, asked almost in unison.

"Just follow along." Edison smiled mysteriously, and then asked Ah Yin to lead the way.

We went down to the second floor and went back to the living room.Ah Yin walked to the cabinet directly opposite the door, and there was a plush doll of Garfield on it.After the plush doll was taken off, Ah Yin actually took out a small DV camera from it.

"It's really dangerous." Ah Yin said with a complicated expression, "If Ms. Zhong finds out that I secretly put a video camera inside, I will definitely be sued by her for invading privacy... However, now It's okay, everyone is dead..."

"I was just worried that Zhong Xintong would encounter misfortune, so I asked you to secretly install a DV player to take pictures of the situation in the house." Edison took the camera from A Yin, and said while turning it on, "This camera can work continuously for 12 hours. hours, so just adjust to last night... Ah Yin, when did you go back to your room to sleep last night?"

"Around ten o'clock."

"Well. Then adjust to ten o'clock..."

After he fiddled with it a little, the DV player immediately showed the picture of the living room last night: in the brightly lit living room, Zhong Xintong sat on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest, the wine glass in her hand was gently shaken, and the red liquid reflected on her face through the light superior.At this time, Ah Yin's figure appeared in the corner of the screen. She was walking back to the room, and she never appeared in the screen again.

"Is this the wine the deceased drank last night?"

Edison took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.According to the screen, after Zhong Xintong finished drinking, she put the bottle back in the same position, so this bottle should be the right one.

Ah Yin also confirmed later: "Ms. Zhong has the habit of drinking red wine before going to bed. This bottle of red wine is produced in Bordeaux, France. It was made in 1982. I heard it costs more than [-] a bottle!"

Wow!More than one hundred thousand!I seem to hear someone howling.And Edison's eyes obviously exuded abnormal light.

It must be that Xia Zaoan who fell asleep is excited again.If she hears that this bottle of red wine is worth more than one hundred thousand, I can imagine how exaggerated her expression will be. At least, her saliva will flow down three thousand feet.There's no way, this girl just loves money.However, she once criticized me severely, saying that she loves money is an insult to her, she also loves gold, diamonds, antiques, stocks...

"Well, what a good bottle of wine!" Edison unscrewed the cork, sniffed it, then closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the charming mellow wine aroma, "It's strange, why is my heart beating so fast?"
