Tokyo: This narration is wrong!

That's fine. Shirakawa doesn't like to be called Takahashi-kun. He always feels that the name Kuraki-kun is easy to hear.

"How is this going?"

Shuichi Mori asked.

The lively Yanomi immediately explained, "Our Hemu High School Detective Agency went to explore the Devil's House and discovered that this wax figure of Yuta Imada is actually a real person!"

Shuichi Mouri walked up to Yuta Imada and had the wax figure and makeup on his face wiped away, and he saw his real face.

"ah!"

The staff immediately screamed.

Mouri looked back at them.

Both staff members are wearing blue uniforms, one male and one female.

"This, this is our boss Hashiguchi-san!"

Yuriko, a female employee with a ponytail and delicate makeup on her face said.

The male employee Onuma Kazuhiko, who is of medium height and has bangs covering half of his face and looks a little shy, also nodded repeatedly, indicating that this was their boss Sou Hashiguchi.

"Why is your boss here?"

Shuichi Mouri looked at the two of them seriously.

In addition to them, there are other staff members in the Devil's House.

The zombies played by Kazuhiro Tabuchi, Yuri Matsuki, and Satsuki Terao.

Mizuo Kikuta plays the werewolf.

Ken Miyake, who plays the vampire, and Kuniki Tsumura, who plays the devil, were also called out. There are six actors in total. They usually do odd jobs for the company and are not professional actors.

Six people said they had no idea their boss would be here.

The forensic doctor made a preliminary identification of the deceased Sou Hashiguchi. The cause of death was suffocation. The time of death was between 5 and 6 in the morning. There were no obvious wounds on his body. He should have died of suffocation after being poured with wax oil all over his body after being unconscious. As for the There are many methods of coma, which can be physical or chemical. Detailed examination is required, which takes time.

"Has Hashiguchi-san ever offended anyone?"

Shuichi Mori asked.

Yuriko shook her head, "I don't know much about Hashiguchi-san's personal affairs. I only joined the company half a year ago. Hashiguchi-san's temper is not very good. He often loses his temper over trivial things. He even beat Matsuki-kun and Terao-kun. Said they all owed him a lot of money."

Daisuke Furuhashi immediately looked at the two zombie actors, Yuri Matsuki and Satsuki Terao. He had been frightened by them before.

"You two must have owed money and didn't want to pay it back, so you teamed up to kill Hashiguchi-san!"

"No, we don't."

Matsuki Yuri and Terao Satsuki nervously defended, "The three of us stayed together to practice last night because our acting skills were not good. Tabuchi-san can testify for us."

"Are you still practicing at 5 a.m.?"

Furuhashi Daisuke asked suspiciously.

"Yes, our practice room is monitored. Unfortunately, everyone can watch it."

Tabuchi Kazuhiro said.

Mouri looked at Daisuke Furuhashi and said, "Furuhashi-san, please be quiet."

Furuhashi Daisuke swallowed and shut up obediently.

Mitsuo Kikuta, who played the werewolf, suddenly said in horror, "Furuhashi-san owes Mr. Taira Takuya a sum of money at the wax museum. Last time I heard Mr. Taira Takuya said that if Furuhashi-san doesn't pay back the money, he will be made into a wax figure! I didn’t expect it to be true.”

"Kuragi-kun, what do you think?"

Shuichi Mouri looked at Shirakawa.

"After the deceased Hashiguchi-san was poured with wax oil, he was also made up to look like someone else. The murderer must be able to make wax figures and his makeup skills are also good."

Bai Chuan analyzed.

"Are any of the eight of you good at making wax figures? Or someone with good makeup skills."

Shuichi Mouri asked seriously.

When he is serious, he looks very ferocious, the kind that can easily scare a child to tears, making most people afraid to lie.

Yanomi hid behind Shirakawa because she was afraid of Officer Mori's serious face.

"We are the only one who is a makeup artist, Yuriko."

Said Kazuhiko Onuma, a male employee with bangs covering half of his face.

Yuriko said nervously, "I can put on makeup, but I can't make wax figures. The last batch of wax figures were damaged by a group of students who came to play on the weekend. This batch was delivered from Teacher Taira Takuya at 8 o'clock this morning. It’s the goods that Onuma-kun and Miyake-kun are here to haul.”

Kenraku Miyake is the man who plays the vampire. He is tall. Hearing Yuriko mention him, he immediately stood up and said honestly,

"Yes, I went with Onuma-kun in the morning. Teacher Taira Takuya was not at home at that time. It was his apprentice who helped us carry the four wax figures to the car."

Kazuhiko Onuma nodded,

"Teacher Taira Takuya has the habit of going out for morning exercises every morning."

"Kuragi-kun, what do you think?"

Maori Shuichi once again asked Shirakawa for his opinion.

"Who set up this house of horrors?"

Bai Chuan asked.

The staff looked at Kazuhiko Onuma neatly.

"When the wax figure is carried on a truck, it is usually placed in a cabinet similar to a coffin. During the process of carrying it to the scene and setting it up, you will inevitably come into contact with the wax figure. Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

Bai Chuan asked.

Even Furuhashi Daisuke and Shirakawa would find the difference between the deceased and other wax figures after touching them. How could Onuma Kazuhiko, who has been doing this kind of work for a long time, not notice?

Kazuhiko Onuma raised his hands, which were covered with gloves. He took off the gloves, revealing the burned skin.

"Because I experienced a terrible fire 5 years ago, my hands looked very scary. In order not to scare others, I always wore thick gloves. I really didn't realize that Yuta Imada was the boss in disguise, oh No, the boss was killed."

Onuma Kazuhiko said the wrong thing because he was nervous.

Shirakawa nodded. It seemed that the most suspicious person now was Teacher Taira Takuya.

"Then let's go to Teacher Taira Takuya's wax museum."

"Well, let's go now."

Shuichi Mouri sent two police officers to take statements from the eight staff members present, and led Shirakawa and others towards Taira Takuya's wax museum.

Yanomi Mi, Furuhashi Daisuke, and Shima Ryota are also among them.

The three of them, including Bai Chuan, also need to take notes.

"Shirakawa-chan, I didn't expect that we would encounter another case."

Yanomi said excitedly.

"Yes, wherever Shirakawa-chan goes, the case happens."

Furuhashi Daisuke blurted out, as if he realized that everyone around him was looking at him, he immediately covered his mouth.

"Damn it, it's not Shirakawa-chan's fault!"

"I was just talking casually."

Furuhashi Daisuke shut up again.

"Is the murderer really Teacher Taira Takuya? It sounds like he has both skills and motive to kill."

Yanomi looked at Shirakawa curiously.

"It's not certain yet, but sometimes the most obvious clues can point to the wrong results."

January is over, and the New Year will be celebrated in February~~~

No. 3: Cold on the outside and hot on the inside (please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket)

Taira Takuya is a little-known wax figure artist. His wax museum is not located in Shibuya District, but the business is very deserted, and few young people like to patronize it. Therefore, he began to expand his business, providing works such as Devil's House. The place provides wax figures. Such wax figures do not need to be made too delicately, and even his apprentices can complete them.

The police car drove to Taira Takuya's Sunflower Wax Museum, where Taira Takuya was teaching students to make wax figures.

He has a total of three apprentices, two male and one female. The female apprentice Sakamoto Natsuko is his girlfriend. The two male apprentices also help in the wax museum, so he does not need to hire workers.

Taira Takuya was surprised to see the police suddenly arriving.

He stood up and walked to the door with the three apprentices.

"Officer, is something wrong?"

"Is it Ping Zhuosang?"

Shiraki Saya asked.

"Yes, I am."

Ping Zhuozai pointed at himself.

"The owner of Nishise Devil House, Hashiguchi-san, was murdered. It is now suspected to be related to the wax museum. Please cooperate with the investigation."

Shiraki Saya said.

Mouri Shuichi, Shirakawa and others walked into the wax museum.

There were not many people in the wax museum when the police suddenly arrived, and a few guests left quickly.

Taira Takuya and his three apprentices all showed surprised expressions.

They all know Hashiguchi Sou from Devil House, because Hashiguchi Sou’s wax figures were all obtained from the Sunflower Wax Museum. The most important thing is that he did not pay once and all were in arrears, so he owed his boss Taira Takuya a lot of money. .

"How could it be? How could Hashiguchi-san die?"

Ping Zhuozai's expression was no less than that of a stock investor who had just bought stocks when he heard that the financial crisis was coming. His disbelief was mixed with great sadness.

Because he knew that it was impossible for the police to lie, which meant that Sou Hashiguchi was really dead.

"What happened? How did Hashiguchi-san die?"

Taira Takuya's girlfriend Sakamoto Natsuko asked.

"His body was wrapped in wax oil, suffocated and made into a wax statue."

Shuichi Mori said.

Taira Takuya's three apprentices looked at him at the same time, and then looked away in tacit agreement.

Taira Takuya immediately scolded, "Look, I said I would make him a wax figure if he didn't pay back the money, but those were all angry words! I would never do that at all! I also want my reputation."

"Sorry, teacher."

The two male apprentices immediately bowed their heads and admitted their mistake.

Sakamoto Natsuko also lowered her head slightly.

"Pingzhuosang, who are these?"

Shiraki Saya asked.

Taira Takuya introduced, "These three are apprentices at the wax museum, Naoto Koike who has been living at home four years after graduating from college, Takashi Takamatsu, a decadent middle-aged man who was fired from the company and can no longer find a job, and my Girlfriend Natsuko Sakamoto.”

Naoto Koike and Takashi Takamatsu still lowered their heads, as if they had long been accustomed to Teacher Taira Takuya's mean character.

"Do they make wax figures like you do?"

Saya Shiraki continued to ask.

"They're all below average."

Taira Takuya replied.

"The time of death of the deceased was between 5 and 6 in the morning. Please tell all four of you what you were doing at that time."

Shuichi Mori asked.

Yanomi Mi, Furuhashi Daisuke and Shima Ryota were still immersed in the novel emotions of entering a wax museum for the first time.

"Oh my God, isn't this Satomi Ishihara? She does exactly the same thing."
