The group of people returned to their rooms and changed into clean clothes.
We got together again ten minutes later.
During this period, Ye Gengyi had already learned the detailed dossier about the 'Lavender House Secret Room Murder Incident' from Kuroba Kaito. Behind the photo sent by email, there was inevitably a complaint from Kuroba Kaito:
[Hey, brother, couldn't you just contact the police for this kind of thing? But I was asked to disguise myself and come to the Metropolitan Police Department. It would be very dangerous if I was discovered. 】
Ye Gengyi chose to ignore it.
He didn't even have to think about it anymore.
From the files, he combed out a clue that was completely consistent with the current situation.
The murder in the secret room of the Lavender House was originally considered a suicide, but because a high school detective discovered several screws with the screw heads cut off in the yard, he further learned that the windows at the scene of the murder were actually fixed with adhesive. On top of the window frame.
After the high school detective provided the tip to police.
At that time, the maid Chana Kaoru, who lived under the same roof as the deceased, directly became the biggest suspect in this case.
In the confession, Chana Kaoru denied the murder.
He also mentioned that within a month after the lady's death, he asked his friend Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was a detective, to investigate the scene. No screws or anything like that was found at that time.
The police had no choice but to interrogate the suspect Shanaixun while collecting evidence. In the end, she could not bear the blow and committed suicide.
At the end of the file, the assessment of the 'Lavender Room Murder Incident' that had been reported in the newspaper was that the suspect committed suicide out of fear of crime.
There is no need to even use the elimination method... Ye Gengyi thought.
After all, Nanatsuki Koshizui's name was written in the transcript of Kana Kaoru in the file. As for the high school student detective who caused her to commit suicide, it seems that only Toki Jinran, who clearly figured out the secret room technique, but suddenly denied it. Zai.
By the way, Jiagu Liansan was the housekeeper in the lavender villa at that time.
It's just that when the young lady hanged herself, he happened to be out shopping and had a clear alibi. Therefore, in the file, he was only regarded as a related person and was recorded in a few words.
What about Hiroo Tsuchio...
who is he?
Ye Gengyi already understood the purpose of convening this "Detective Jiaziyuan", but from the existing clues, no information about the fake director was found.
Judging from the education that Hakuba Tanping received, they would not and had no reason to kill.
Hmm... Of course, if it was really them, I would definitely be shocked... Ye Gengyi did not rule out any possibility and divided the probabilities.
On paper, among the people, Nanatsuki Yuesui is the most suspected, followed by Toki Jinlanzai.
And then Hiroo Tsuchio committed suicide... No, that person should not have the courage to commit suicide.
It's better to assume that the person who did it is a detective.
For example, as a 'god of death' like Conan who knows many criminal methods, it is not easy to fake that a person committed suicide by hanging. As long as it is handled properly afterwards, it will be difficult to convict even if traces are left.
Therefore, we refocused our attention on the hanging incident of Hiroshi Tsuchio, except for the clues about the mochi lake.
For someone like Ye Gengyi who particularly likes to do the opposite, this time he wanted to piece together the pieces from the other party's motivations and reasons.
Is the technique perfect?
Then guess why you want to kill someone.
Ye Gengyi asked and answered questions to himself silently.
Judging from his attitude, Shijin Lanzai was obviously belatedly realizing that this invitation might be someone's trick.
And Koshimizu Nanatsuki was the mastermind, or one of the masterminds, who invited everyone to the island from the beginning...
Wait a minute, the direction is a little off, this thing may not be that simple...
If we assume that Tsutsuo Hiroshi is an accomplice of Koshimi Nanatsuki, with the latter's loyalty to avenge his friends, it would be impossible for him to kill Tsutsuo Hiroshi... Before that, one thing must be certain, That means Nanatsuki Koshimizu couldn't possibly know about the two unexpected participants, me and the little detective.
Therefore, if she was the one who killed the person, there are only two possibilities for Tsuchio Hiroo’s identity...
Either he is a suspect in Kanar Kaoru's death like Hakuba Detective and Heiji, or he is simply one of the culprits.
Still something isn’t quite right…
Koshimizu Nanatsuki's motive for gathering these people was to avenge his friends, but the reason for not taking action directly was because the clues were not clear enough.
Based on the analysis of the current situation, has Hiroo Tsuchio ever done anything that required death?
no……
At this moment, Ye Gengyi's mind suddenly flashed into the door lock that had been pried open on the floor of the warehouse.
Thoughts flashed.
Before his eyes, Hiroo Tsuchio's abnormal attitude in the restaurant before his disappearance appeared.
Needless to say, this person must be related to the "Lavender House Secret Room Murder Incident", and like Ranya Tokijin, he later discovered that this was not a program organized by the TV station at all.
Therefore, Hiroo Tsuchio probably wanted to use that radio to convey the situation on the island.
I see……
Whether it was the female detective Nanatsuki Koshimizu, the accuser Kanar Kaoru, Ranya Tokizu who provided wrong clues, the dead eldest lady, or the old housekeeper Kotani Renzo, there is no way they would demolish the Lavender Villa. Behind the window, make a secret room that is fixed with adhesive.
Only Hiroo Tsuchio is left...
This fake director was killed because he knew about secret room techniques.
Koshimi Nanatsuki, as the initiator of this incident, had always targeted high school detectives, so it was not her who killed Hiroo Tsuchio.
And think from Tokijin Lanzai’s perspective.
After the 'Lavender Room Murder Incident', he must have discovered that his reasoning was wrong.
Regardless of whether it is due to a guilty conscience or other reasons, Shijin Lanya will definitely pay attention to, investigate, and collect information in this area, and he will urgently want to know why he made a mistake.
So, he found Tsutsuo Hiroshi.
But because the incident has not fermented, and it was a long time ago.
Therefore, until a few seconds before Koshimizu Nanatsuki mentioned the 'Lavender Room Murder Incident', the northern representative still thought it was good luck, so he ran into the 'open book exam' that the program team collected from nowhere. But when he came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that he was the prey who accidentally walked into someone else's trap.
At this moment, he recognized that the fake director who invited him was actually the person who created the trick. It was not surprising that he wanted to kill him.
No wonder I always felt like something was not quite right before.
It turns out that the organizer was not the murderer.
Based on this analysis, the person who destroyed the radio must be Koshimizu Nanatsuki.
On an isolated island that has lost contact with the outside world, if another nursery rhyme is played, it will definitely be a disaster with no survivors.
Food on the island only lasts 2 days.
If in the end, due to material problems, people cannibalize people, it would indeed be quite cruel...
Therefore, according to Koshimizu Nanatsuki's current way of thinking, should Tokizu Ranzai be turned into a food reserve with no bones left, or should he be allowed to eat human beings in violation of his moral bottom line and starve to death on the island?
No, Tokijin Lanzai is an adult male, and his force level is much higher than hers.
Putting it into Koshizui Nanatsuki's position, the prerequisite she set should not be based on the assumption that she would be killed and then used as Tokizu Ranya's food reserve, and that she would not be able to witness him starve to death...
Yes...if she wasn't an idiot, she definitely wouldn't do this.
After all, there is nothing after death. The kind of revenge that only exists in fantasy, and there is no guarantee that the other party will be lucky enough to be rescued by a passing fishing boat after his death.
Ye Gengyi looked at Shi Jinlanzai.
Therefore, the purpose of revenge is definitely not to sleep to death, but to kill this person first...
In fact, there is definitely a suitable opportunity to take action.
The method is very simple. You just need to take advantage of the other person's return to the room to set up a secret room, find an excuse to leave, kill the person, and then use the secret room to create a suicide scene...
But why wasn't this done?
Ye Geng recalled the details and quickly found the reason.
Well, I have to say that it should be my own problem...
The scene in his mind flashed through his mind, when after he had finished confronting Tokizu Ranzai, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, a contestant, came over to ask if he had also seen through the secret room technique.
I originally thought she wanted to take a shortcut.
Now it seems that I am worried that if I use the method I assumed to commit the crime, I will be discovered casually...
It was her pride as a detective that did not allow her to implement such a plan that had been exposed.
But then again...
Even if she does use it, even if she is too lazy to participate, there is more than a 90% chance that this trick will still be discovered by the little detectives...
