Mercator used his strong reasoning skills to finally deduce the three victims.
They are Yoko with 165, Infield with 175, and Hiroshi Sekiya with 185.
And based on the conclusion that the murderer was ten centimeters shorter than the victim.
So if Hiroshi Sekiya, who is 185, is the victim, then the murderer is Uchino (175) who is ten centimeters shorter than Hiroshi Sekiya.
If 175 Uchino is the victim, then the murderers are Yoko and Aoyama (165) who are ten centimeters shorter than Uchino.
If Yoko who is 165 is the victim, then the murderer is Terao (155) who is ten centimeters shorter than Yoko.
But combined with the brooch Aoyama left at the scene.
That means she doesn't plan to kill anyone tonight, because if she planned to kill someone tonight, she wouldn't do something stupid that would expose herself to suspicion.
Because her real purpose was to ask the victim out to meet tonight.
A person with strong suspicion of murder cannot act at will, so Qingshan is excluded as the murderer.
Miukuro was shocked by Mercator's terrifying reasoning ability, and realized that as long as he knew who was killed, he could identify the closed logic of who the murderer was.
But? Who is the person who will be killed by the murderer tonight?
When Mercator heard Mibago's question, he frowned tightly and gave a jaw-dropping answer:
"No matter how many times you ask me, I still say the same thing."
"I don't know who among the three people will be killed. I only know that one of the three people will be the victim tonight. Each of the three of them has the same chance of being killed."
"Now this holy chamber is like the box that the cat was in."
"Specific phenomena cannot be observed by others."
"But we don't have to worry. As long as the door of the Holy Chamber is opened tomorrow, all the truth will be perfectly wrapped up."
Mercator used the theory of quantum mechanics to explain this matter, but it did not satisfy Mibago.
Because the cat in the box still has a half chance of survival.
But someone will definitely die tragically in the holy chamber tonight!
Mercator...he planned to ignore others and watch others being killed!
Miukuro couldn't stand Mercator's behavior anymore, and angrily accused Mercator of watching others being killed, but doing nothing to save them, and pretending to be a human being!
But Mercator just stretched himself towards Mibago mockingly and claimed that he was going to sleep.
Because tomorrow is an important day, whether it is a small needle or another victim, if you are lucky, you can use the "Katrina Sutra" to resurrect you.
After Mercator mocked Miku, he also specifically reminded Miyo not to continue interfering.
But Miukuro was obviously fed up with Mercator's insensitivity and planned to rush out to the Holy Chamber to stop the case from happening.
He also threatened that after leaving the island, he would definitely break off relations with Mercator, the bastard!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Miubao walked out of the room, Mercator's voice came from behind:
"Let me remind you, the murderer has a gun."
"If he learns that his plans are exposed, he will go berserk."
"And you can only deal with him with your bare hands. I'm here to cheer you on!"
Mikuo became a little immobile after hearing Mercator's words. Even though he wanted to go to the holy room, he began to feel scared when he thought that the other party had a gun in his hand.
"What? Are you really not going?"
Mercator said leisurely behind him:
"To be or not to be...I am now like Hamlet, no, more like the plank of Carneades' ship."
"Of course I can choose to save the victim, but because the other person has a gun, I, as a detective, will be shot by the angry murderer."
"In order to save my own life, I can save him, or I can choose not to save him."
"Just like the planks of Carneades, if A must kill B to protect himself in a critical moment, then it is self-defense."
"No matter what, I'm trying to save my own life, so why am I guilty?"
Mibag didn't know how long she stood at the door. When she realized what she was doing, her back was completely soaked.
Because I have to add another unconscionable thing to my life history.
"I'm going back to my room to sleep."
Mitsurugi left Mercator's room dejectedly.
I don't even have the courage to look back.
Because Mibago is aware of his own incompetence and hopes that this matter does not exist at all.
I just hope that everything will be over after tomorrow comes.
Jiang Liumeili looked at the last line of paper on the last page of manuscript paper in her hand, with a rare twisted expression on her face!
so? Before tomorrow comes? Is the murderer unobservable?
That is, only after the murder? Only after knowing who died can we deduce who the murderer is?
so?
The three consecutive shooting incidents at the beginning of the story didn't exist?
Or that they exist, but are not continuous?
How about a more precise description? Did the three shooting incidents at the beginning of the story happen in a parallel space?
If tomorrow does not come, then these three shooting incidents may happen!
But as long as the timeline reaches tomorrow, the door of the Holy Chamber is opened, and everything is observed, then everything will converge into one point!
When Jiang Liumei thought of this, she suddenly took a breath!
The entire brain felt as if it had been shocked by a million volts of electricity!
It instantly became blank!
After Jiang Liumei regained consciousness, she realized that she might have witnessed history and a miracle!
This is because Maijo Kyousuke's short story titled "The Closure" seems to have jumped out. After Edgar Allan Poe published "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" in 1841 and established the system of mystery novels, one hundred and thirty-nine All the rules for mystery novels from 2010!
It’s a real jump out in the fullest sense!
Because of the one hundred and thirty-nine years of reasoning history.
Most of the detectives in all mystery novels are on the righteous side, even if the detective character is evil.
In the end, the author will also use "blunt judgment" at the end of the work to tell readers who is the real murderer!
But Maijo Kyousuke's "Conclusion" is completely different, because "Conclusion" creates a detective Mercator who has a bad character, regards wealth as life, and refuses to save anyone.
As a detective, Mercator had already expected that someone would kill someone in the holy chamber, but he did not choose to rescue the person who was bound to be killed!
Instead, a "hypothetical judgment" is given:
If B is the victim, A is the murderer; if C is the victim, B is the murderer; if D is the victim, then C is the murderer!
This method is used to infer who the murderer is based on the death of the victim.
But until the timeline is closed, no one knows who the victim is.
So no one knows the logical relationship of who the murderer is.
It is something that has never existed before in the one hundred and thirty-nine years of reasoning history!
Jiang Liumei thought of this, and a proud smile appeared on her face because of joy.
Because "Conclusion" is better than all Japanese mystery writers.
Even if the "Kings of Logic" brothers Ellery Quinn in their heyday are brought over, there is no way they can defeat Maijo Keisuke!
Because for one hundred and thirty-nine years, all mystery novels have been based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division...
But Maijo Keisuke's "The End" did it, jumping out of all the frameworks of "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" and truly achieving a breakthrough from 0 to 1!
If it can be said that Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" created the system of mystery novels and influenced countless future generations.
So this "Conclusion" by Maijo Keisuke completely reconstructs all the systems of mystery novels!
As soon as Maijo Kyousuke's "Conclusion" is published, the world of Japanese mystery literature will enter a new era!
