"There is only one key to the holy chamber. How did the murderer enter the holy chamber?"
“It’s actually a very easy answer to this question.”
Maijo Kyousuke looked at Eryumei in front of him and said:
"Miss Jiangliu, do you remember? The reason why Xiao Zhen invited Mercator to the island was to look for suspicious people on the island."
"And how did Xiao Zhen say that he found a suspicious person?"
"From a dusty bookcase, I found a five-centimeter-thick reference book with no dust on it."
"Actually, this is unreasonable, because judging from the dust on the books, it is too much of a coincidence. After all, it is a bookcase that is not often opened, so the reason is very simple. Little Needle lied."
"Xiao Zhen first discovered that his keys had been moved, so he called Mercator to investigate the suspicious person."
When Eryumei heard what Maijo Kyousuke said, a look of confusion appeared on her face:
"So? Teacher Wucheng, who moved the key?"
When Maijo Kyousuke wrote "The End", he had many new ideas about the story of "The End", so he had already considered this point, and even gave the answer:
"After Xiaozhen was shot and killed, the people who went to check the keys to the holy room were the steward Baishan and the believer Terao."
"This shows that both of them know where the key to the holy chamber is."
"But at the same time, after Xiaozhen's death, Uchino found a brooch in Xiaozhen's room, and Yoko immediately identified the brooch as belonging to the female nanny Aoyama."
"So, why does the brooch of female nanny Qingshan appear in Xiaozhen's bedroom?"
"Actually, this is a clue I laid. I pointed out in a subtle way that the female nanny Qingshan knows where the key is. After all, Qingshan's purpose of coming to the island is to steal the "Katrina Sutra".
"Yoko and Uchino already have a physical relationship, and by singing and singing like this, they are obviously using the brooch to frame Aoyama and prevent Aoyama from talking about any topics related to the key."
"So actually, Yoshiko and Uchino can get the key to the holy chamber through Qingshan's hand."
"Since Uchino can get the key, Naomi Maki, whom he likes, will be able to get it if she needs it. And since Naomi Maki has an ambiguous relationship with Hiroshi Sekiya, she will definitely be able to get it as well."
When Jiang Yumeili heard what Maijo Kyousuke said, she had a very surprised look on her face.
I even admire Maijo Kyousuke’s method of hiding hidden clues!
After all, such a hidden hidden line may be missed if you look faster!
"So actually... everyone on the island has their own methods and channels to get the keys to the holy chamber?"
"In other words, the Holy Room seems to be a secret room that no one can enter, but in fact, the Holy Room is completely a room that can be entered and exited at will. Only Xiaozhen doesn't know that?"
Maijo Kyousuke nodded and said with a smile:
"It can be understood that way, because this story itself is the same as "Astrology Killing Magic". If "Astrology Killing Magic" is the devil whispering in my ear."
“Then ‘The Closure’ is like a revelation from God.”
"I used the idea of Schrödinger's Cat and expanded it into a logically self-consistent short story, in which many hidden lines were set up to give readers more room for imagination."
"It's like the Holy Chamber issue you just mentioned. Setting the plot there will not only arouse readers' curiosity, but also mislead readers, making everyone think that this is a mystery novel of the secret room type."
"But in fact, this so-called 'secret room' was given away for free, and it was completely designed to mislead everyone, because everyone on the island has the opportunity to get the key."
"The Chamber of Secrets does not exist."
Eryumei heard what Maijo Kyousuke said and nodded:
"In this case, who actually moved the key to the holy chamber, we have to wait until the matter is over and see who the victim is in the holy chamber. From this, we can deduce who the murderer is, and we can also know who it is. The key was moved.”
Jiang Liumei looked through her notebook and asked her second question:
"Teacher Maicheng, is Mercator in "Bining" intentionally misleading Mibago?"
"Because the questions Mibago has been asking are all related to Xiaozhen's death. There is no mention of a murder in the holy room."
"However, what Mercator has been talking about is the murder that occurred in the sanctuary, and he intentionally connected the two murders."
Eryumi held the manuscript, sat on the side of Maijo Kyousuke, pointed at a line of words on the manuscript and said:
"But, Teacher Wucheng, you wrote in the story that after Xiao Zhen died, there was black hair in the corpse's mouth. So this means that Xiao Zhen's death and the black hair were inevitable."
"Just like Schrödinger's cat, the cat in the box is in a state of superposition of life and death before the situation in the box is observed."
"But the little needle is dead, and the hair in the mouth is dead too."
"Even if the victim in the holy room dies the next day and the murderer is revealed, it will not change the ownership of the little needle being killed and the hair stuffed in his mouth."
"So? Who killed Little Needle? Whose hair is that?"
After hearing Eryu's beautiful words, Maijo Kyousuke thought for a moment and said with a smile:
"Miss Jiang Liu deserves to be the editor-in-chief of the magazine. She has a very sharp mind."
"If you think according to your thinking, then this story will have a second twist."
"It can also be regarded as an extension of another possibility."
"That is, the murderer who killed Xiaozhen is not the same person as the murderer who killed him in the holy chamber."
"From this a series of possibilities can be hypothesized."
"One, Terao killed Xiao Zhen and killed his sister's murderer Yoko at night."
"Two, Terao killed Xiaozhen and planned to kill Yoshiko at night, but Yoshiko took the lead and killed Uchino who had been tormenting him."
"Three, Terao killed Xiaozhen and planned to kill Yoshiko at night, but Uchino killed Sekiya Hiroshi who took away his goddess Maki Naomi first."
"Four, Yoshiko killed Xiaozhen, and killed Uchino who had been tormenting him at night."
"Fifth, Yoshiko killed Xiaozhen and planned to kill Uchino, but was taken away and killed by Terao."
"Six, Yoshiko killed Xiaozhen, but the infield killed Hiroshi Sekiya first."
"Seven, the inner field killed Xiao Zhen, and successfully killed his jealous Hiroshi Sekiya."
"Eight, Uchino killed Xiaozhen. He planned to kill Hiroshi Sekiya, but Yoshiko took him to the holy room and killed him."
"Nine, Uchino killed Xiao Zhen, but Terao killed Yoshi first."
"If the murderer who killed Xiao Zhen cannot be determined to be the murderer of the second case, then logically, these nine possibilities will arise!"
"But since the Holy Chamber has not been opened and cannot be observed, everything is unknown."
"Only when the door of the Holy Chamber is opened can these nine possibilities be closed!"
When Eryumei heard Maijo Keisuke's answer, the muscles on her face couldn't help but twitch, because she had just watched "Binding" three times and didn't consider this possibility at all!
"Teacher Wucheng, since there are so many possibilities, why does Mercator still want to connect the two cases?"
"Although Mercator's sense of morality is indeed close to zero, it is obvious that he is a very smart detective. Logically speaking, he must be able to understand these nine possibilities."
"Then why did he merge the two murders together?"
"This is really strange..."
Jiang Liumei scratched her head, feeling very confused.
Because this short story "Conclusion", which is only 30,000 words long, still hides countless doubts that have yet to be unearthed...
