The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 413 Murder Incident ([-])
"Oh?" Sherlock stared at Ziliang: "So. Did you find any clues?"

"Of course." Ziliang said, and took out a circle of thin thread from his pocket.

"This is." Mrs. Marple came closer and asked.

"Fishing line, I found it when I searched the villa yesterday. It was hanging on the Christmas tree next to the dining table. Of course, the situation was so tense at that time, I definitely wouldn't say such a thing." Ziliang replied .

Moriarty also came over at this time, and he glanced at the fishing line: "Hehe, it's a matter of course, because in that case, even if I found any clues, I wouldn't tell them easily .Right?" As he spoke, he looked at other people pointedly.

Indeed, according to the [Horror Movie Survival Manual (Seventh Edition)], he was at the scene of the crime, and the murderer was probably hiding around him, especially if everyone was locked in a villa or an isolated island. Under such circumstances, if you find any clues, you must not say anything, put them in your pocket quickly, and pretend that you didn't find anything.

ah?Why do you still ask?
Isn't this nonsense, think about it, if you were a murderer and found out that someone held clues against you, what would you choose?

The greatest possibility is to quickly kill this person and destroy the clues by the way! So, what you are holding is not evidence against the murderer at all, but a ticking time bomb.

Sherlock looked at Ziliang: "Well, it's interesting, so, with this fishing line, you guessed the murderer's modus operandi?"

Ziliang dropped his shoulders weakly: "Hey, do you have to pretend to be ignorant? In fact, you already know it, right! The fence on the second floor and all the pillars have a layer of deposits. Dust, only the dust on the penultimate root at the end has been wiped clean. I can observe this little anomaly, let alone you."

Sherlock smiled, without denying it.

"And you, Moriarty, you went too far. After you decided to go back to the house to sleep, you directly chose the room facing the 'abnormal fence'."

Moriarty pursed his lips indifferently, with an arrogant and arrogant look.

"Oh, God, it turns out that you have already found the clue, but you haven't revealed it?" Mrs. Marple looked at the three people opposite with a surprised expression.

However, these three people returned a look with a little contempt together.

"Miss Marple, I know you are old, but this cannot be used as shameless capital." Sherlock said very bluntly: "After we came out of that bedroom, you relied on your bad legs , sitting motionless in a wheelchair, and where you are, is facing the Christmas tree. So I have every reason to suspect that you noticed the fishing line long ago, but you pretended not to see it, waiting for someone else to go Take, with all due respect, your behavior of doing nothing by yourself and watching others take risks back and forth seems to be worse than us.”

"Oh, this..." When Mrs. Marple heard that she had been exposed, she was also a little embarrassed: "I just think that I am old, and these small things should be left to you young people."

Of course, when she explained this, it caused a small group of other people to stare blankly at her. For a moment, the image of the respected old man disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, she said: "Oh, by the way, in fact, that Kudou Shinichi should have seen through the murderer's tricks long ago, but he didn't say anything. So, don't underestimate him, that kid is more serious than you think. The ones in the middle are much smarter, and his aggressive and funny behaviors should all be faked."

Well, from this point of view, everyone in this room is a sophisticated character.

"Although everyone should know how the murderer strangled [Kindaichi] outside in the locked bedroom. But let me finish my story." Ziliang continued: "The method is actually very simple. That is, [Jintian Yiyi] outside the door should be asleep like us, but his sleeping posture is not lying down or lying on his stomach, but "slanting", more precisely, It is a 'plastic cable tie' wrapped around the neck with a fishing line, and then the feet are stepped on an object that is not fixed, I guess, it is a few empty gift boxes next to the Christmas tree, in such a "\" posture"

As he said that, Ziliang made a gesture with his arm at a slant.

"And the fishing line passed through the end of the cable tie at one end, and then went around Kindaichi's chest to fix him at this angle, and the other end went around the fence on the second floor, and then connected to the bedroom door where we were. on axis.

Recall that shortly after we woke up, [Inspector Polo] was still alive at that time, he slammed the door hard a few times, I think, those few hits just shook the fishing line on the door shaft off, thus This caused Jintianyi's center of gravity to change, causing his body to lean forward. In this way, gravity naturally tightened the tie at the back of his neck. Therefore, it was not people who strangled him, but gravity.Oh, as for later, Kindaichi will definitely struggle desperately, and in this way, the fishing line at the end of the cable tie on the second floor will be torn apart."

As he said that, Ziliang also specially showed everyone a slipknot at one end of the fishing line, which is the kind of knotting method that can be broken free with a little force.

"As Kindaichi breaks free, the thread will fall off and hang on the Christmas tree below, and on the fence on the second floor, there will be traces of being bypassed by the thread."

Ziliang briefly explained how Kindaichi died. Of course, the others knew about these methods, so they didn't raise too many doubts.

"To sum up, there should be one person in our group who has not lost his memory. That person is the murderer who stunned us, made us lose our memory, locked us up, and killed Jin Tianyi and Inspector Polo."

Sherlock also nodded: "Yeah, I think so too, and that person will definitely go to the second floor to wipe off the traces of being strangled by the wire on the fence."

"Yes, in fact, I thought the same as everyone else at the time. Whoever wiped the fence on the second floor is the murderer." Who is the man with the marks on the fence?"

Everyone nodded.

"Yes, I saw it," said Mrs. Marple, and then looked at Miss Grudge who was already in a mess on the ground.

"The person who went to wipe the fence at that time was the house of resentment"
