" What's impossible…" Dong Ma sneered.
"I clearly put the fishing line through the pocket. How could the key be at the entrance and not inside?”
"The key is that when the key went in, Megure was sitting, not standing.”
Dong Ma smiled as he revealed the crux of the matter.
"What do you mean?" Taira had a bad premonition, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Because when you sit, you will press down on your pocket, and the space inside will become narrower.”
"So before the key falls completely into the box, the fishing line will be pulled out of the tape.”
"Besides, the victim was as fat as Megure, so the key couldn't have fallen into the deepest part of the room.”
Hiraji argued, somewhat unconvinced,"Even so, there's still a possibility of entering. At least one out of ten times!”
Fuyuma looked at the struggling Heiji and felt an inexplicable sense of humor."No matter how many times you try, the result will be the same. Because when we found the key in the victim's pocket, the key was placed in a V shape with the key ring. When it fell out of Megure's pocket, the key was completely separated from the keyring.”
"In such a small space, it's impossible to use the method you mentioned to place it in a V-shape. And the key was placed so well, which meant that the murderer had placed it in the pocket of the victim's pants in advance!”
"The tape and gaps on the key ring were also deliberately tampered by the murderer to make people think that the murderer used the method you deduced to complete the secret room. The fishing line you found in the room was also a trap set up by the murderer to frame Mr. Tsujimura.”
" Nonsense," she retorted." Grandpa only went to the room when he happened to meet Mrs. Shi." Could it be that the fishing line was also placed in the room by the murderer beforehand? Are you saying that the murderer can predict the future?”
Fuyuma smiled and took out a large amount of fishing line from Miyako's pocket.""Of course, it can't be a coincidence or a prophet. The murderer just placed this kind of fishing line everywhere in the corner of the house.”
"I just asked Sato to go to various places in the villa and found a total of five or six sets. Because the murderer was not sure which room the old man would go to, these pieces of evidence were placed in almost all the rooms.”
Ping Ji was completely speechless." But, this old man confessed to his crime?”
"Although I don't know the reason behind this, Mr. Toshimitsu Tsuchimura did deliberately jump into the murderer's trap.”
Hearing this, Toshimitsu opened his mouth but could not say a word.
"However, I have to remind you, old sir. Obstructing justice is not a small matter. Moreover, it won't absolve the real murderer. It will only make things more troublesome.”
" If what you said is true, how did the murderer escape from the room?" Before we came in, this was a secret room with no door to enter or exit! Could it be suicide?"
Dong Ma's smile widened.
"It wasn't suicide. The murderer used the secret chamber as a prop to deceive everyone.”
"The real trick?" asked Hiraji doubtfully.”
"Have you forgotten? When everyone found the victim, there were two strange points of suspicion. One was the opera playing, and the other was the pile of books on the table.”
" Manager," Megure was confused." What's so suspicious about opera and books?"”
" The opera can cover up the screams that the victim might make when he is stabbed by the poisonous needle, and the pile of books just happens to block the victim's painful and distorted face before he dies.”
He laughed and shook his head." That's ridiculous! Was there a need for the murderer to hide his crime? Tell me, who are you afraid of seeing?”
"The funny one is you, Heiji Hattori. The murderer did this because he was afraid of being seen by famous detectives like you.”
"How is that possible?" Hiraji was shocked.
"Look, this is exactly what the murderer wanted…Actually, the murderer used the simplest method of killing, but it just happened to fool you, a famous detective with complicated thoughts.”
Dong Ma mocked.
"So, when you found the victim lying on the ground, the victim hadn't been dead for long.”
"You're saying that the murderer killed us when we first came in and everyone was focused on the opera?"”
Shinichi nodded." That's right. And he killed someone in front of everyone. He did it in front of two famous detectives."”
"She can't be the murderer, right?"”
"That's right. That person was Mrs. Barker, the first person to approach the victim after entering the study!”
"In the beginning, Mrs. Tsujimura only used some kind of drug to make the diplomat fall asleep. Then, she pretended to wake the victim up and stabbed the poison needle in.”
"It was natural that no one noticed it at that time because the sleeping pills were very strong. If the poison needle was applied with poison, the victim would be poisoned to death without moving after being stabbed.”# Date:08 22 2019 5:30PM
