The city’s super-powered detective

“What’s the problem?” Listening to Dongma’s question, Xiaolan asked suspiciously.

“There were originally two questions, one of which was solved by the second question itself, and the other question was also answered by Mrs. Takiko’s answer just now.” Fuyuma smiled confidently.

“So, what does the first question mean?” Ryo Lang asked in surprise.

“Is it that footprint?” Maori followed suit, but at least he found the heart of the problem faster than the layman’s Ryoro.

“That’s right, those very huge footprints!” Fuyuma explained, “Yesterday, the murderer probably went to the wing wearing flats or other shoes, killed Mr. Genichiro for some reason, then put on the same suit of armor, and carefully stepped on the footprints that had come back to the main house. ”

“Because the armor weighs so much, I know that by stepping on the original footprints, I can cover them. In this way, only footprints can be left from the wing back to the main house… It was with such a small skill that the prisoner completed the plan to kill Mr. Genichiro. ”

“Planning here, I think anyone other than Mrs. Takiko, who witnessed the armored samurai, and Mr. Ikki, who was killed later, could commit a crime.” Fuyuma said with a sneer.

“Everyone has a possibility…” Hatsue said subconsciously.

And Ryoro and Kayoko reacted instantly, “So if you say so, the prisoner is not the eldest brother (Kazuki) who committed suicide?” ”

“That’s right, because yesterday Mr. Kazuki didn’t kill Mr. Genichiro, and of course, he didn’t kill himself!”

Hearing this, Maori exclaimed: “But if it’s not suicide, then how can that secret room explain it?” ”

“Regarding the issue of the Chamber of Secrets, we will explain later, and the first thing that needs to be proved now is that Mr. Kazuki is not the reason for the murderer.”

“How to prove it?” Maori asked.

“Uncle Māori, don’t you think it’s strange? According to normal circumstances, when Genichiro was killed, there should be a lot of blood spraying out when he pulled out the knife…”

“That’s right.” Kogoro nodded.

“But then the question arises, why is there no blood stain like this on either the armor or Mr. Ikki’s clothes?”

“Ahhhhh Kogoro at this time.

“So actually after that, it should be like this… After killing Mr. Genichiro, he entered the video room through the method I just mentioned, and Mr. Kazuki there killed him…

“But how do you do that!” Kogoro wondered.

“Please think back to that knife in the video room. We treated him as a murder weapon, but in fact the knife was not only used as a murder weapon, but also used by the murderer as an important tool with other uses. ”

“…… An essential tool for making secret rooms! ”

Looking at everyone’s surprised expressions, Fuyuma continued with satisfaction: “After the murderer killed Mr. Ikki, he put on that samurai armor for him. After inserting the murderer’s knife into the wall next to the door, then pressing the door lock with the handle in the opposite direction, and then slowly walking out of the door while carefully holding the knife, and finally slowly closing the soundproof door. ”

“Because this door is the kind of door that pulls outward, according to the length of the knife, it should be close just enough for the handle to lock the door into the lock. So this secret room was formed. And later, because opening this solid door must be opened in a more violent way, the sword that was hit will naturally fall to the ground with the vibration, and the technique of this secret room cannot be discovered… This is probably what the prisoners thought. ”

“But who did that?” Kayoko questioned.

“As for this issue, we must first understand the significance of the fact that the case occurred on the day of General Hideyu’s death to the case itself…”

“The prisoner made the most of the legend of General Hideyu, and she first locked the suspect on the armored samurai for the first time through the one-way footprints left on the snow, and put all the suspicions on Ikki in armor, and then made everyone believe that Mr. Kazuki committed suicide after killing Mr. Genichiro, and then could not stand the condemnation of conscience.”

“Even to emphasize this point, I specially let Mrs. Takiko, who was convinced of this legend, see her walking around the courtyard wearing armor at night.”

“Every year on the day of General Hideyu’s death, Mrs. Taki must pray at the altar at twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, which should be a well-known thing in this house, right?”

“But the prisoner didn’t think about it, it was precisely this redundant move that made me suspicious of her!”

“Nani?!”

“Mrs. Takiko, let me ask again, the armored samurai you saw yesterday night really didn’t have a sword in his left hand, right?”

“You’re right.” Takiko nodded.

“But we all know that the murderer must have just killed Mr. Genichiro at that time, and was going to the video room to kill Ikki there. As a tool for killing and props in the secret room, how could she not carry it? ”

“So there is only one possibility left, that is, the murderer did not hold a knife, but simply did not hold a knife in his left hand!”

“Ah! That is, the prisoner is most likely left-handed! Maori immediately reacted and exclaimed.

Speaking of this, not only Maori but also others looked at the only left-handed man in the Daimon family, Daimon Ryoro.

“It’s not me!” Ryo shouted.

Then he suddenly shouted at Maori and said, “Just because you hold a knife in your right hand, why do you say that you are left-handed!” ”

“Nonsense!” Maori said disdainfully, “What if a left-handed person holds a knife in his left hand?” Isn’t it only possible to use the right hand that you are not used to when drawing the knife?! “_
