"Huh?"
Hearing this, Hakuba Tan and Hattori Heiji both looked at Koshizui Nanatsuki who said this.
(?_?)…These guys really don’t want to eat well…
Ye Gengyi originally didn't intend to pay attention to them, but as soon as the words 'Lavender House Secret Room Murder Incident' came out.
He clearly noticed that the expressions of Tsutsuo Hiroki, Koutani Renzo and Tokitsu Junya were briefly frozen.
Hmm... it's a bit inaccurate to say it's short-lived.
This is because compared to some other castles such as Kōtani Renzo and Tokitsu Junya, the psychological quality of Tsuchio Hirōo, the fake director, does not seem to be up to standard.
To describe it in terms of time, Ye Geng drank a sip or two of coffee, and this person was still stunned. He almost had the words "I have a problem" written on his face.
However... as a person who has personally experienced the secret room demonstration 'props', does he really have a problem? Or maybe hearing the words 'Lavender Room Murder Incident' brought back memories of the past?
Ye Gengyi has reservations about this for the time being.
"I'm sorry, Yueshui, can you tell me the specific content of the incident you just mentioned?" Baima asked.
"Oh, of course..."
Koshimi Nanatsuki briefly recalled: "It happened in Shikoku about a year ago. A young lady who lived in a villa there hanged herself. I heard that the villa seemed to be full of lavender. "
"Oh, is it suicide?" Hattori Heiji grasped the key to the problem.
"I've heard about that too..."
Conan raised his hand and said that even if he didn't check in, he would pay attention to this kind of strange death case from Mihua Town, and added: "But half a year later, he said that he had found new clues, and it was confirmed that it was a homicide."
"Half a year?"
Detective White Horse has always been sensitive to time and couldn't help but ask: "What then? Has the murderer been caught..."
"It is said that he jumped off a cliff before he was caught," Koshimizu Nanatsuki said expressionlessly, "It would be almost impossible to survive in that situation."
That situation?
It seems that the murderer should know her... Ye Gengyi read this information from the unconcealable emotion in the female detective's eyes.
However, analyzing the situation, there are still some things that don't make sense.
After all, assuming that all this was her plan and the purpose was revenge, why did she bring Heiji and Hakuba Tan here?
Is there an accomplice? In order to confuse the audience... Ye Gengyi observed Shi Jinrunzai who was trying his best to restrain his emotions.
Um? Why is he looking...
"Peng!"
At this moment, Tsutsuo Hiroshi put his palm on the table and stood up suddenly.
Ye Gengyi gathered his thoughts and turned to look at him, already prepared to make the other party unconscious for a night.
"Scared me..."
On the side, Hattori Heiji looked over half a moon, "Mr. Tsuchio, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's nothing." Tsutsuo Hiroshi forced a smile and pointed to the corridor: "Because I don't know how long this reasoning will last, so I want to go back to the room to get another pack of cigarettes..."
"Don't move things around. We have to look for clues after eating." Hattori Heiji quickly reminded.
"Ah, um..." Tsutsuo Hiroshi replied and left the restaurant in a hurry.
"Hey! Are you listening to me carefully?"
Hattori Heiji stood up and started to chase.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome, right?"
Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Tokatsu Junya who had not spoken for a long time, "Isn't there someone here who knows how to see through the secret room? I really want to see the secret room that can be set up in just 10 minutes."
"Well, that's right."
Hattori Heiji's half-moon eyes said, "Looking at how confident he looks, I really can't wait to see his true face. So, when can we go and see him?"
"No, that..."
Tokijin Junya shook his head with an ugly face, "I'm sorry, actually, I...I can't complete the mechanism of the secret room. I just wanted to show off when I said that, but I didn't expect that everyone believed it, so I thought I have to admit my mistakes to everyone while eating..."
"Are you kidding me?"
Hattori Heiji's eyes widened and he looked at Tokatsu Junya like he was an idiot, "Do you think this is fun?"
"...I'm sorry." Tokijin Junya let out a long breath, and then his body suddenly stiffened. He calmly retracted his gaze that inadvertently looked at the window, lowered his head and fell into silence.
Something was wrong. This guy was so arrogant before. It didn't look like he didn't know how to penetrate the secret room. Why did he choose to hide it... Conan frowned.
"In other words, we're back on the same starting line."
Bai Matan stood up with a smile, "Everyone should be full, so let's go see it together again."
"That's what I meant!" Hattori Heiji was very motivated.
That's right, as long as the secret room is unlocked, maybe we can know what Tokizu Junya is hiding... Conan thought.
After leaving the restaurant, the three of them naturally did not forget to rope in Ye Gengyi, the 'only' person who could see through the truth.
Jiagu Liansan stayed to clean up the kitchen waste.
A group of people came outside Tsuchio Hiroso's room again.
The door was ajar, and you could see what was going on inside at a glance.
But... there was no sign of Hiroshi Tsuchio.
"Eh? Where is that uncle?" Hattori Heiji looked around.
"He probably didn't come to the room."
Conan walked to the table, looked at the luggage bag with the Japanese television station's logo on it, and added: "At least I didn't take any cigarettes."
"Why did you say that?" Several people gathered around.
"because this……"
Conan picked up his handkerchief from above and explained: "When I heard Tokijin-nii talking from the room, I was about to open this bag to check, but I forgot to take the handkerchief back. If Mr. Tsuchio took cigarettes from inside, Be sure to unzip it, then it will be impossible to return the handkerchief to this angle.”
He gestured with his hand to indicate his height, which was level with the table.
"Indeed, and with that uncle's character, he shouldn't be so meticulous." Hattori Heiji nodded in agreement.
"The question is, where is he now?" Bai Ma Tan muttered, holding his chin in one hand.
"New test?" Ye Gengyi looked at everyone and said suddenly.
"Eh? Brother Genichi, did you find anything?" Hattori Heiji asked.
"No. I just feel like he's not a real director, so the program team wouldn't be so bored as to hire an unrelated person to be there."
Ye Gengyi continued to say tepidly: "That's why I guessed whether his disappearance was part of the test."
"Wait a minute! I don't think so!" Koshimizu Nanatsuki retorted.
"Look..."
She pointed to Tsuchio Hiroo's room and said, "The secret room method has not been solved yet!"
"Maybe the secret room is just a cover..."
Toki Jinjunzai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Now that things have happened, Xiaosheng no longer wants to hide anything, otherwise, he might be regarded as a useless detective by everyone..."
He paused and said, "Actually, this secret room technique cannot be accomplished by just one person."
"Huh? What on earth are you talking about?" Hattori Heiji was confused.
"You should still remember that when the junior student was talking about the secret room tactics, Koshimizu once asked if it was Mr. Tsutsumi who was tied up in the secret room. He locked the door and then tied himself up. Thus, a self-directed and self-acted drama will be staged..." Tokijin Junzai asked.
"Hmph! Of course I remember." Hattori Heiji curled his lips.
That's when they got into an argument...
"Yes, there is really nothing we can do if we are alone, but what if there are two people?"
Junya Tokizu turned around, put his hands behind his back, walked to the door handle, and said while demonstrating: "Mr. Tsuchio asked someone to tie himself up, and then locked the room with his hands behind his back. Just lie on the floor and pretend to be unconscious, right?"
"Well……"
Hattori Heiji was startled, "You mean the 'victim' and the 'murderer' collaborated to create this secret room?"
"Otherwise, how do you explain that the murderer disappeared without anyone noticing in this secret room?"
Junya Tokizu said with a smile: "Actually, Xiaosheng also knows who is cooperating with Mr. Tsutsumi. Everyone is either a contestant or a companion, so the only one who is suspected is Mr. Kotani. After all, the two of them He is a staff member of the TV station. As for why Xiaosheng denied it before, he was actually trying to secretly recruit someone to cooperate with him to complete the trick... But now..."
He looked around the room, "Now that the second test has appeared, I think it's better for everyone to compete fairly. What do you think?"
