god of reasoning

Chapter 4 "Magic Flame" ([-])
"The secret room!" I was surprised to say this sentence from her mouth. Logically speaking, this should be the line of my professional secret room.

"What? Are you surprised that I said the word 'secret room'?" The other party seemed to have an insight into my thoughts, "I'm still a fan of reasoning, and I don't even know this basic vocabulary."

"Yes, yes." I echoed repeatedly, and almost shouted Long Live the Queen.

"From when you saw the fire to when the fire brigade extinguished the fire, no one entered the scene, and you didn't hear any calls for help from CASE, right. I guess he should have been killed by then."

I nodded after hearing her analysis.

"Let's not care about the exact time of his death. From the analysis of dismemberment alone, no one entered the scene during the fire. So how exactly did the murderer dismember the case in the 'generalized secret room' at the fire scene?" What about you?" Xia Shi finally asked the core question that asked me out today.

"The secret room... the secret room dismembers the corpse..." I muttered repeatedly.The novels I wrote before were all about murders in secret rooms, but I never thought about dismembering corpses in secret rooms.

"What? It's difficult for you, a secret room expert?" Xia Shi took a sip of coffee while talking, but he didn't feel the taste of ridicule in his tone, but a hint of loneliness.

"I can't be regarded as an expert in secret rooms, but I have written a little more about secret rooms." I said modestly, but I was still very happy about Xia Shi's love for me in my heart.

"Anyway, you know more about the Chamber of Secrets than I do, so I hope you can help me unravel this mystery." She said, stretching out her hands to hold my hand holding the cup tightly, I just felt an electric current flow from the back of my hand Spread to the whole body, my body froze, almost collapsed.

"Okay, I will try my best." When I put down the glass and tried to respond to Xia Shi's overture, she quickly took her hand away from me. "I know you need time to calm down and think carefully, so I won't bother you much today." As she spoke, she signaled the waiter to pay the bill.

I quickly took out my wallet and rushed to pay, but when I glanced at the number on the bill, a big '2' followed by two '0's, I was completely dumbfounded. There was only 100 yuan in the wallet, and the hand that took out the money was frozen there.Xia Shi saw my embarrassment, and quickly took out two hundred-yuan bills from his bag and handed them to the waiter.

"Well, I'm sorry to ask you to invite me." I said embarrassingly.

"I was the one who asked you out today, and it's normal for me to treat you." Xia Shi said with a smile, "This cup of coffee is my reward for asking you to help me solve the mystery."

"Okay, I will live up to your expectations." When we broke up, I solemnly promised her.

"That's good. If you help me, you're also helping yourself." She suddenly said this weird sentence. Could it be implying that if I help her solve this mystery, I can win her heart and embrace the queen? ?
I was trying to daydream, but her next words drove me into a bottomless ice cave like a heavy hammer, "In our bureau, compared to the fact that CASE was dismembered in the 'generalized secret room' of the fire scene, More people tend to say another way—that is, the testimony of your witness is false, which means that you are actually the murderer who killed CASE and dismembered the body. The reason why you gave the testimony of the fictional secret room is that In order to interfere with our direction of handling the case. So, you help me unravel this mystery, in fact, you also clear yourself of suspicion."

"This... how could this happen?!" I stood there in a daze, staring blankly at Xia Shi who was gradually walking away, cold sweat dripping from my forehead.

The article ends here.

"What about the back?" I asked Ding Ji who was sipping a drink in front of me.

"The ending is not finished yet. But here, you might as well deduce what is the truth of the mystery?"
