Jiang Liumeili stretched her waist, changed into a comfortable position, and planned to continue reading "Bound".

At this time, it was discovered that less than a quarter of the manuscript paper for "Conclusion" was left.

This feeling is very subtle, because according to normal short mystery novels, this is the time when the answer to the mystery should be revealed.

But the mystery of "Conclusion" seems to have just been revealed.

Although the big clock on the ground and the death of the little needle leader are quite attractive, but only about a quarter of the manuscript paper is left?

How can Maijo Kyousuke come up with a perfect answer?

It all feels a bit like... not very complete?

Jiang Liu Meimei opened the remaining manuscripts of "Conclusion" in confusion, wanting to find out the truth of the matter in the story...

Because the leader of Little Needle was shot dead, all the believers on the island gathered around the body.

Terao, who had dyed brown hair, saw that Mercator was skillfully investigating the body of the Little Needle Leader. He was obviously not a master of occultism, so he asked who Mercator and Miukuro were.

But Mercator was in no mood to pay attention to the short fellow.

He just scanned everyone and asked, is there anyone else on the island?

Hakusan, Aoyama, Terao, Yoshiko, Uchino, Maki Naomi, and Sekiya Hiroshi all present shook their heads.

After confirming that there would be no other people on the island, and that there was almost no place to hide people on the island, Mercator confirmed that the person who killed the leader of Little Needle was among these people!

Just when everyone was faced with the body of the Little Needle Leader and didn't know what to do, the housekeeper Bai Shan told everyone that because of the typhoon, the police would not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest.

Therefore, no matter what, the body of the Little Needle Leader must be transported back to the room first.

Uchino was obviously a little dissatisfied with this kind of thing. He pointed at the hair in the little needle leader's mouth and complained, claiming that those hairs must belong to the prisoner!

It is required that the body of the leader of Xiaozhen must be preserved to prevent the prisoners from destroying the evidence.

but? How to preserve a body? The prisoner has a gun!

If you send someone to protect you, others will be harmed again!

At this time, Mercator had a good idea.

Mercator directed Miukuro and the butler Hakusan to move the body to a windowless storage room.

Then let three male believers (Terao, Uchino, and Hiroshi Sekiya) put the wardrobe at the door of the room to block the door. In this way, the prisoners would not be able to get close to the room.

After all, the closet is very big. If the prisoner is one person, it is impossible to make a sound by moving the closet, but if there are multiple prisoners, there is nothing anyone can do.

Naomi leaned on Hiroshi Sekiya, feeling that this approach still could not guarantee safety.

Mercator thought that Naomi Maki was right, so he reminded the butler Baishan to keep the key to the yacht with him.

Everyone is confused? I can't keep up with Mercator's thinking at all.

Unexpectedly, Mercator gave everyone a reasonable explanation.

"After I specifically reminded the butler Bai Shan to take the yacht key with him."

"The criminal's criminal behavior is split from the original one path into two paths to choose from."

"One, threaten all of us to open the door and use any means to destroy the evidence at any cost."

"Two, threaten Mr. Baishan, take away the keys to the yacht, and run away."

"As long as we don't let the prisoner go berserk and give him a route to escape, it will be safe for all of us."

Everyone showed angry expressions when they heard Mercator's words.

It was completely unexpected that Mercator would come up with such a ridiculous solution!

It's okay not to catch the prisoner, but he actually plans to let the prisoner leave on the yacht, and even pushes the housekeeper Bai Shan into danger. This is completely animal-like behavior!

Seeing that everyone did not agree with his method, Mercator could only ask what was wrong with the Holy Chamber.

Only then did everyone think of the "Katrina Sutra" in the holy chamber!

Butler Baishan took Terao to confirm that the key to the holy chamber was still hidden in the cabinet of the leader Xiaozhen, and found that no one had entered the holy chamber.

Mercator then made his own reasoning.

"The person who killed the leader of Little Needle has lost his faith, so he has nothing to cherish about the Katrina Sutra."

"And the leader of Little Needle was not killed on the way to the Holy Chamber."

"Because there were no bullet holes in Leader Xiaozhen's coat, Leader Xiaozhen was actually killed in his room. Then the murderer put him in a nightgown and moved him to the gravel road."

"The reason why Little Needle Leader put on his nightgown was because he was afraid of leaving blood stains on the corridor. But in fact, it did leave some traces."

Mercator pointed to the corridor of the room. Under the illumination of the chandelier, some unwiped blood stains could indeed be seen.

Everyone followed Mercator into the room of Leader Little Needle, and soon found a small pool of red blood on the floor in the room, as well as two bullet holes in the wall, confirming Mercator's guess.

But Miukuro was puzzled by the reason why the murderer moved the body of the Little Needle Leader to the gravel road.

Mercator heard Mibago's words and did not respond directly.

On the contrary, Yaozi believed that the prisoner moved the body because he could not find the key to the holy chamber. In order to have another chance to find the key one night, he dragged the body of the little needle leader out.

At this moment, Uchino seemed to find some clues in the room. He held up a bronze brooch and claimed that it might have been left by the prisoner.

Yoko looked at the brooch and quickly realized that it was the brooch of the female nanny Aoyama.

Seeing this scene, the female nanny Qingshan stretched out her left hand and tried to open the door to escape, but the door was blocked by the housekeeper Baishan.

Everyone had murderous intent in their eyes, asking them why they wanted to kill the leader of Xiaozhen.

The female nanny Qingshan cried and shook her head, claiming that she did not kill the master.

Seeing everyone's anger, Mercator was about to take action against the female nanny Qingshan, so he told everyone that if the female nanny Qingshan was the murderer, she would probably have a pistol.

Why don't we lock the female nanny Qingshan in the room and wait until the police come to the island tomorrow and everything will be revealed!

After Mercator finished speaking, he took advantage of others' unpreparedness and explained his identity to the female nanny Qingshan, and told him that he was here to save her.

Then he closed the door to the room.

Since everyone had little experience, they could only listen to Mercator's words and moved another wardrobe to block the room of the female nanny Qingshan.

This led to a very strange situation, where two wardrobes blocked the doors of two rooms respectively.

In one room is the body of the leader Xiaozhen, and in the other room is the "prisoner" female nanny Qingshan.

But Mercator knows that the female nanny Qingshan is not the murderer, and the real murderer is someone else!

Seeing this, Jiang Liumei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, with a look of confusion on her face.

Because there are less than ten pages of manuscript paper left at this time!

Even if Maijo Keisuke is a genius mystery writer who is rare in a century, it is impossible to write a perfect ending to this story!

After all...there were three strange consecutive shooting incidents before!

Eryumeimei looked at Maijo Kyousuke who was sleeping soundly in front of her with confusion.

I have some doubts that this guy gave it to me. Could it be an unfinished manuscript?
