A stormy night.

Bardor City underground game room.

Maki Mehito smiled and said: "The wax man murder case, that is to say, the murderer is among us, right?"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they checked each other to see if there was anything strange about the people around them.

"But, if the only reminder of the case is the doll..."

Surrounding the wax man's body, Zuomu had already been examining it carefully.

"Hey, what's on the doll's hand?" Nanase Miyuki whispered and wiped her lips in confusion.

Kindaichi glanced at it and said, "It's a billiard ball. Why are you holding this?"

"This is the death message!" Maria, the blonde beauty, said.

"What is a death message?"

Saoki, who was bending over to insert his pocket, explained: "It's the message about the murderer left by the victim before he died!"

"That is to say, as long as you solve this puzzle, you can get the city of Bador!" Bando's tone concealed excitement.

"Pop" his fist hit the palm of his other hand, and Richard Anderson suddenly said: "I know who the murderer is!"

Nanase was surprised that he figured out the mystery so quickly, "Who is it?"

"Look at the colors of the billiard balls held in the hands of the wax man. They are green and red respectively. These should be left by the victim who caught the color of the murderer's clothes before he died, so the prisoner is wearing red and green clothes." Criminal Psychology

Richard pointed at Maki Myhito, "It's you, reporter Maki!"

Maki Mehito, who was wearing a red jacket and a green shirt, blushed, "Ah? This is too hasty, I haven't done anything!"

Zuomu shook his head and denied: "I don't think it's right. Look, if you just want to show that the murderer is wearing red and green clothes, he can just catch two balls. Why do you deliberately show the number of two balls on the outside of your thumb?"

"Yes, I also support Sagi-kun's view. From what I see, the numbers are 9 and 3. I think it may have something to do with the name of the prisoner." Kindaichi glanced at Bando Kusaburo with his sharp eyes and said firmly: "

Mr. Bando, your name happens to contain nine and three, which coincides with the death message, so you are the murderer!"

With hot sweat on his forehead, Bando was furious, "What did you say?"

Saoki looked at Kindaichi with interest, "Senior, please don't be anxious. I haven't finished speaking yet. Why did you snatch it away?"

Akechi, who was holding the pool table with one hand and looking elegant, also said: "The murderer is not Mr. Bando!"

Kindaichi said enthusiastically: "Who could that be?"

"Oh? Akechi Police also knows the answer to the puzzle?"

"Let's let Mr. Saaki say it. I want to see if it's what I think!" Akechi Kengo said as if he was asking for your invitation.

"That would be embarrassing," Saoki leaned forward and nodded, then straightened his chest, "First of all, before thinking about the meaning of the death message, we can first consider whether the deceased has the ability to leave a death message."

He walked to the side of the wax man's back and pointed to the dagger inserted in the heart, "The fatal injury was here. The murderer stabbed the heart from behind with all his strength. The deceased must have died instantly. There was no way he could leave a message of death."

."

Nanase Miyuki asked: "So, the death message was not left by the deceased?"

"Well, the murderer deliberately left it behind. He placed two billiard balls with the numbers 9 and 3, disguised as a death message for the deceased, just to point the finger at Bando Kusaburo!"

"Which guy is so hateful?" Bando said viciously.

"I don't know if you have noticed," Saoki subconsciously put on his usual rubber gloves, grabbed the dark green billiard ball from Touma Hui's wax figure, and rotated 180 degrees, "This looks like the billiard ball numbered 9, in fact

It’s numbered 6, and this yellow billiard ball is the real billiard ball numbered 9.”

"That's right!" Everyone compared the two billiard balls in Sagi's hand.

"What does this mean?" Maria, the forensic doctor, asked, "Could it be that the murderer is someone related to the numbers 6 and 3?"

"No, I have just deduced that the death message was left by the prisoner. It is meaningless to explore the content of the death message. And what does the mistake of mixing the billiard balls numbered 9 and 6 mean?"

Takigawa Hui raised her finger and said suddenly: "It means the murderer doesn't understand the rules of billiards!"

"Yes, the murderer made a mistake and took the dark green No. 6 ball for the No. 9 ball. And at around 7 o'clock, almost everyone present was playing billiards in this game room. It is impossible not to know the relevant rules of billiards.

,Except..." Sagi glanced at Kindaichi who was biting his lips, "Kindaichi-kun left the table to go back to take a shower alone because he didn't understand billiards and found it troublesome, so the culprit...is you!"

"Hajime?"

"What's my reasoning? Wise alert?"

"I have a skill, but this is just a small challenge." Akechi Kengo raised the frame of the frame slightly and said to Kindaichi, "Don't you still admit it?"

Kindaichi, who was originally serious, suddenly laughed. He pointed at himself, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Mr. Saaki. You are absolutely right, the murderer is me!"

"What are you doing, you kid!" Bando Kusaburo was furious.

Kindaichi scratched his head and said helplessly: "Ah, I knew this simple scam would be discovered immediately, but I had no choice. When I first entered the room, I saw a red envelope on the table, which asked me to do this

made."

As he spoke, he took out a red envelope from his pocket as proof.

"That's too much. Did you bring me here because you wanted to scare me?"

"I'm sorry, Miyuki, I didn't know you would be so scared!" Kindaichi apologized quickly.

"I don't care!" Nanase Miyuki shook her head and turned her back to Kindaichi.

"It's really not easy for young Detective Sagi to find the murderer with such a small amount of evidence." Maki Mehito praised.

"It's so amazing, so different from someone else!"

Sasaki said, "Nanase-senpai, don't bring me with you just to mock Kindaichi-senpai!"

"That's why I'm so good at playing the role of a murderer." Kindaichi shaved his cheeks to give himself a boost.

"Hey, wait a minute, 'Night of Suspense' won't end like this, right?"

"Who knows?"

"Really, who would approve of ending the 'Night of Suspense' with such a simple game?" the hot-tempered Bando shouted loudly.

"Wait a minute," Zuomu suddenly felt that something was not right, and scanned the scene repeatedly, "There has been a missing person since I came here...Where is the president of the detective agency, Touma Hui?"

"Maybe he's sleeping, right?" Maria guessed softly.

Bando rushed to the black-clad deacon Nanshan Shunsou, pointed at his nose, and shouted: "Go and call your person in charge, the guy named 'Leedram', hurry up!"
