Ke Xue: The Yellow-haired Detective

"Ha!" With Hattori's last impact, he finally broke the lock on the door, and he stumbled in.

"Mr. Tsuchio!" Hattori rushed forward.

"So this is the so-called secret room murder?" Tokijin Junya came to a conclusion after looking around.

"Well, of course, that would only happen if Mr. Tsutsumi is really dead." Hakuba glanced at the director who fell on the ground.

"Uh--" Mr. Tsuchio woke up leisurely under Hattori's constant shaking movements.

"Hey, what happened?" Hattori asked.

"I heard someone knocking on the door. When I opened the door, I found that no one was there." Mr. Tsutsumi's voice was not very loud. Maybe the sequelae of his fainting were not completely relieved.

"When I was about to go back to the room, someone drugged me from behind and knocked me unconscious."

Just as Mr. Tsuchio finished speaking, Mr. Kotani standing at the door spoke.

"Detective Koshien, question number one!"

"Huh?" Everyone raised their heads in surprise. Even Yukiko looked around in surprise. She didn't find anything like a camera. Even she noticed the problem.

"Please unravel the truth about this secret room. If you do, please send me your reasoning in writing. If your reasoning is correct, you will enter the next round of battle."

"At the same time, you will also get permission to leave the island." Mr. Jiagu's expression was serious, and it seemed that there was still a bit of a show atmosphere. At least several detectives except Lin Xiaofan were already fired up.

"It seems that cameras are installed in certain places?" Bai Ma Tan smiled slightly.

"But it's quite unexpected. I thought the first level was to see who could see through that this person was a fake director." Yueshui Qigui folded his hands in front of his chest, looking at ease.

"What are you talking about? I am serious." A thin layer of sweat appeared on Mr. Tsumugi's forehead, and he had to wipe it away.

"Stop pretending." Hattori Heiji smiled, "Uncle, there's something wrong with the Japanese TV logo on your jacket. The direction of the whirlpool is reversed."

"As for why we did this, let's wait until the first round is over." Hattori looked at the director with a strange look on his face, staring at him until he was sweating all over.

"I'm sorry, Xiaosheng has to take leave now." Tokijin Junzai suddenly said.

"Eh?" Hattori stood up with a puzzled look on his face and looked at Tokatsu Junya.

"Because I already know the technique of this secret room." Tokijin Junya said with a smile, "How about I demonstrate it?"

"Oh?" Baima Tan glanced at him in surprise.

"So you already know?" Yueshui Qi also narrowed his eyes, seeming a little surprised.

"Then you can demonstrate it to us?" Hattori was also surprised, but he still said nothing and waited for the other party to reveal the answer.

"This is absolutely not allowed. If you do this, won't others know what the method is?" Mr. Kotani retorted, "So please use the method I just told you and send it to me in writing. Right. Remember, this is just the first round, not the final yet."

"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to show off in front of everyone." Junya Tokizu said, "But Xiaosheng is thinking that the result now may be no different from the final."

"You are really confident." Baima Tan smiled slightly, "I just don't know if you really have that strength?"

Yueshui Qigui was also a little unhappy, "I don't know what you think, but you can't tell me that Mr. Director closed the door and pretended to faint, right?"

"How is it possible? How can I express such reasoning?" Junya Tokatsu said with a smile, but it has to be said that paired with his somewhat feminine face, this expression is very attractive to hate. "And even if this is the case, the classmate representing the Western Region who has just untied the knot will definitely find some clues, even though he is such an incompetent detective."

"What!" Hattori was angry.

"What you did is indeed unflattering. You actually broke the door with blood on the doorknob and rushed in." Baima also smiled disdainfully.

"Damn it! Are you two targeting me on purpose?" Hattori was completely angered.

"Anyway, I'm going to make the room below into a secret room now. You can kill time while eating dinner, because it may take about an hour." Junya Tokizu said. ...

"You said it would take an hour?" Hattori frowned.

"I see, it took almost an hour from the time Mr. Kotani took us to our respective rooms to when this incident happened." White Horse Detective responded.

"So the method you mentioned takes so long?" Yueshuiqi tilted his head, looking a little surprised, "But let me tell you in advance, this method does not take into account the possibility of encountering rude detectives. Rude behavior, so please be careful."

"I don't think he will make similar mistakes again. After all, this is related to the honor of the Kansai detective he represents, and the reputation of his father, the Osaka Prefectural Police Inspector." Detective Hakuba still looked aloof, that kind of The arrogance engraved in the bones makes people frown. "Am I right? Classmate representing the Western Region?"

"Haha." Hattori didn't even look at him, humming two syllables from his nose to deal with the problem.

"But I quite like this kind of passionate detective." Koshizuchi glanced at Hattori and showed a sincere smile. "You guys chat, I'm going to the toilet."

Hattori Heiji turned to Lin Xiaofan and Kudo Yukiko who were silent.

"Why didn't you two say a word? Are you going to admit defeat directly?"

Lin Xiaofan said: "Don't worry, the fun is yet to come."

Kudo Yukiko didn't know what to say, so she could only echo: "That's right..."

However, this point caught the attention of Hattori Heiji.

"Kudo Shinichi looked confused from the beginning. Could it be that he borrowed Lin Xiaofan's inspiration to become a famous high school detective?"

14. The anger of the licking dog

"I'm back." Yueshuiqi went to the toilet before eating, and didn't come back until everyone had almost finished eating. "Why did you eat all of it! Uncle! You ate too much, didn't you?" She complained dissatisfiedly.

"Ahem, cough, cough. Yesterday I only drank wine and didn't bother to eat. Hehe." Mr. Tsutsumi scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Really, I don't have much left." Yueshuiqi snorted lightly and said nothing more.After all, it took a long time for her to go to the bathroom. Although the fat director did eat a lot of food, it was not his problem alone.

"Okay, now that your stomach is full, it's time to tell you why you pretended to be a fake director, right?" Hattori took a sip of tea and squinted at Mr. Tsuchio.

"Ah, no, no, I promised something that others can't say, otherwise I won't get paid." Hammertail picked his teeth with a toothpick and waved his hand in refusal.

"Is this a Japanese TV station?" Hattori didn't care whether he was refusing or not and continued to ask.

"Ah." Tsutsumi agreed vaguely, but his attitude seemed very perfunctory.

"Then can you answer me a question?"

Bai Ma Tan suddenly interrupted at this time. "What I noticed the moment I stepped into this cabin was the pot of lavender over there."

"There are some in my room too." Yueshuiqi also echoed. "It seems like there's one in every room?"

"Yes, there seems to be lavender in our room too." Yukiko clapped her hands and said to Lin Xiaofan.

"Yes, and there is a tool box placed next to it." Hattori looked at Mr. Tsuchio, "Do these have any special purpose?"

Mr. Hammertail shook his head: "I don't know much about this either."

"It's your detective's job to unravel these things." Mr. Kotani walked out at this time, still with his hands behind his back, slightly hunched over, looking like he was old.

"That's true, but the problem is that it's not easy to find out these things when you are completely isolated from the outside world." Bai Ma Tan said just after he said these words.

"Don't you have a signal on your mobile phone?" Hattori Heiji said in surprise.

"Heiji, of course, no operator would operate on this isolated island." Yukiko said matter-of-factly.

Lin Xiaofan touched his nose: "I have heard of the Lavender Villa murder incident."

Yueshui Qigui said. "If it's lavender, I can only think of this case."

"It is said that the deceased was the rich lady of that villa, right?" Lin Xiaofan touched his chin and recalled the plot, "It was originally a suicide case, but half a year later it turned into a homicide for some reason, right?"

"What about the prisoner?" Baima asked, "Since it is classified as a homicide case, what is the identity of the prisoner?"

"He committed suicide before he was arrested, that's what I heard!" Yueshui Qigui replied.

"Bang!" Mr. Hammertail suddenly stood up excitedly, his whole body was shaking and his face was very ugly.

"What's wrong with you?" Everyone present looked at him with suspicion as he walked to the door, opened it, and looked like he was about to leave.

"Ah, no, that's the one. I forgot my cigarette in the room, hehehehe." Mr. Tsutsumi turned around and said.

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier." Yukiko walked to the window and looked at the scene outside the house, and couldn't help but feel worried.It didn't matter what happened to Detective Koshien, she was worried about everyone's safety.

After a while, there was a "Bang!", and Mr. Tsutsumi pushed the door open and came in, all wet. After entering the warm room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did you get so wet?" Baima asked.

"You're not going to go outside to find a cigarette vending machine, are you?" Hattori said.

"No, I just went outside to take a look." Mr. Hammertail scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed. "Speaking of which, will that guy be too long?"

Yueshuiqi took out his phone and looked at it: "It seems like two hours have passed."

"I think I'll ask him how long it will take." Mr. Kotani said proactively.He may be trying to maintain the fairness of the game, so he will be particularly careful when encountering private contacts between players.

"Then I'll trouble you." Hattori said.

Soon, Koya fell back, his face full of surprise: "Detective Shijin is not in the room!"

"What? You said he's not in the room?" Hattori Heiji said in surprise.

Mr. Kotani nodded hurriedly: "Yes, he didn't respond after I knocked on the door for a long time. But because the door is locked, he might have..."

"That's it." Baima Tan smiled slightly, "He may have built the secret room a long time ago, and now he doesn't know where to hide and laugh at us, right?"

Yueshui Qigui said disapprovingly: "With his character, he will definitely not hide, but come directly to show off to us, right?"

"Let me take a look at the situation inside from the outside. Wait for me." Hattori walked to the door and said.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you. I don't trust you to go alone." Hakuba Tan followed Hattori.

"There's no need. You'll know the answer when you go into Shijin's room."

Everyone arrived at Shijin Runzai's room. Lin Xiaofan stepped forward and unscrewed the locked door.

A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky!Instantly lit up the originally dark room!

At this moment, everyone can see it clearly!Tokijin Junya was sitting on the table by the window, with one side facing outside, his eyes wide open like a dead fish, his face full of fear and blood!

Hattori Heiji turned on the light in the room and stepped forward to check on Junya Tokatsu.

"Tokijin Junzai, dead!"

Hearing this, Yukiko grabbed Lin Xuan's hand nervously, panicking and acting very rudely.

Fortunately, everyone was paying attention to the dead Junya Tokizu, otherwise Kudo Shinichi's reputation would have been completely ruined.

"How is the situation?" Baima Tan walked into the room and looked at Shi Jinrunzai who was still by the window, his face was very ugly. ...

"As you can see, he was hit hard on the head and died on the spot." Hattori said. "The murder weapon should be the hammer, and it was still stained with blood. My guess is that it should have been taken from the tool box next to the lavender pot. Take it out.”

"The windows are also locked." Bai Ma checked the condition of the windows.

"This is a secret room murder." Yueshui Qi walked to the door and observed that there was nothing wrong with the door frame and wooden door.

While the three detectives were concentrating on the investigation, Lin Xiaofan spoke up, shocking the world.

"I already know the truth!" Lin Xiaofan said lightly.

Everyone looked shocked. It was unimaginable that Lin Xiaofan knew the truth so quickly.

"You are the murderer! Miss Koshimizu Nanatsuki!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone felt incredible.

Hakuba Tan, who was obsessed with Nanatsuki Koshizui, expressed a different opinion: "Hey, Lin Xiaofan, you must be mistaken. Nanatsuki Koshizui is a girl, how could he be the murderer!"

Lin Xiaofan glanced at Baima Tan with a look of contempt, "This woman wants everyone's life, why don't you speak to her." :

"Hakuba, if not Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who is the murderer?"

Hakuba Tan thought for a while, and then a bright light flashed in his eyes: "The person who killed Tokizu Junzai and arranged the scene into a secret room, Mr. Kotani Renzo, only you can do it."

Jiagu Rensan said "Ah" and waved his hands quickly: "It's not me!"

"Don't quibble, this method is actually quite simple. Junya Tokizu said at the time that it would take about an hour to transform his room into a secret room. This means that his method would take that long. time."

"So, you just stay stuck for about an hour, wait until he is almost done, pretend to see the situation, and then kill him! If you just use the secret room he arranged to create this incredible Possible events should be very logical."

"Actually, neither Koshimizu-san, who went to the toilet immediately after Tokitsu left the room, nor Tsuchio-san, who said after 10 minutes that he wanted to return to the room to get cigarettes, could be the murderer. The only murderer is you. .”

Detective Bai Ma stared at Mr. Kotani's face, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

"It's not really me!"

At this time, Mr. Kotani's face was pale, his eyes kept looking around, and his body was trembling.

Hattori Heiji said: "The murderer is indeed not Mr. Kotani, Hakuba, your absurd reasoning ends here."

Hakuba Tan glared at Hattori Heiji: "What did you say!"

Hattori Heiji snorted, ignoring the angry Hakuba, but looked directly at Mr. Tsutsuo and said: "The prisoner is someone who can use the wire to open and close the lock at will. That is Mr. Tsutsuo, that's you."

The fat on Hammertail's face trembled, and he looked guilty: "You, you... what are you talking about?"

"You pretended to go to get cigarettes, but you actually went to that hut." Hattori Heiji squinted his eyes, "There was a big lock on the door of the hut. Except for the fact that it had been broken just now, it was completely new. Besides, the quilt is still wet in the cabin. In other words, the only person who can pry it open is you, Mr. Hammertail."

"In addition to the tool box in your room, the wire in it has indeed disappeared, hasn't it?"
