Chapter 41 The Wax Doll City Murder Case 5
Endless rainy night.
Bador City, Suspension Bridge Machinery Room.
Everyone swarmed with Minamiyama Toshizo and Akechi Kengo to run out in the heavy rain to the machine room where the suspension bridge was suspended, only to find that all the chains were messed up and difficult to repair.
"Who on earth would do such a thing?"
"hateful!"
Rapid arrow-like raindrops hit the backs of Zuomu and others, making their faces look ugly.
Akechi squinted his glasses, "It seems like we are completely isolated in this castle!"
A middle-aged woman with a vicissitudes of life, Takigawa Hui, clasped her hands together and said in horror: "Why? Why do you do this?"
He replied calmly: "Well... I can only ask 'Redlam'."
"Right now, we can only search the castle to see if there is a secret passage to the outside, and find out the 'Redram' hiding in a dark corner." Kindaichi clenched his fists.
"Um!"
Everyone returned to the castle and began to poke around with tools, searching for any hollow secret passages or dark rooms.
"I'll go check out the West Tower floor!"
Taking this opportunity, Zuomu walked to the third floor alone and ducked into Touma Hui's room.
Keep the door open.
Without candlelight, the dark room could only distinguish its approximate location through the trace of skylight through the iron window and the small candlelight coming in from outside the door.
The smell of blood in the air is still very strong, and the bodies are placed in the same place as before. This is also the wise and wise meaning, protect the scene and wait until the police come to deal with it.
Zuomu knelt down, held up his glasses, and carefully avoided the blood stains on the ground. He didn't want to leave any footprints on the semi-coagulated blood clots and be suspected by the police.
Step by step, he moved his legs and climbed to a position half a step behind Toma Hui. He immediately stood up and stared at the dagger that was half immersed in Toma Hui's heart. The sword reflected a weak fluorescence, "Okay, it's here."
"Based on Miss Maria's estimated death time between 7:35 and 7:50, I will first set the median value at 7:42 and a half. I looked at my watch before entering the house just now, and it was around 8:27
, about 45 minutes apart...then the degree of rotation required is 11.25 degrees!"
After calculating the degree in his mind, "Peng", Saoki immediately opened the ink umbrella in his hand and entered 11.25 degrees in the degree input field. Then he took a deep breath and lowered his hand holding the umbrella hook slightly.
Silently: "Look back!"
After the radiance and the moment when he was in the frozen three-dimensional scene, Saiki's first reaction was to be suspended.
Because the scene was pitch black, it was no different from the space before going back.
"Judging from the amount of bloodshed at the scene, this was the first scene, so when Ma Hui met the murderer, and when the murderer was pacing behind her and plotting murder, he should have been talking to her to distract her attention. At this time, in the room,
There must still be a candle burning... It is really not easy to capture the moment when the murderer takes action or is about to take action,"
Sniffing, Zuomu sighed lightly, then hesitated, "But this time the free backtracking skill is not useless. At least it can push the time of Touma Hui's death forward from 7:35 to 7:42.
Points, do you want to use the backtracking skill again?"
Considering that he would be trapped in Bador City for more than three days, he bit his lip and said, "Dang Mahi is definitely not the only one on the list of 'Leedlam'!"
Having made up his mind, Zuomu decided to spend a little detective point to use the backtracking skill again.
He continues to select the median value of 7:35 and 7:42, and compares it with the current time...
"Backtrack!"
The space under the umbrella was still pitch black.
"That's between 7:35 and 7:39!" Sagi's face flushed, and he wanted to continue to use the backtracking skill...
[Tip: Using it again requires 4 detective points]
Saoki suddenly felt a little nervous. He had only gained 3 points each for solving the bus poisoning case and the case of the world's first night memorial to Kojima Miju. This time, he had to spend 1 detective point.
If he spends 4 more points in this situation, he really can't do it, and it is very likely that even if he spends these 4 points to activate the retrospection, he will not be able to achieve success. Should he continue to do it? I don't know how much it will take by then.
Just click on the detective value and go bankrupt?
"Is there some difference between the real time of death and Miss Maria's guess?" This is also possible. After all, without professional equipment, it is impossible to speculate very accurately.
Saoki could only comfort himself in this way.
He put away his umbrella angrily, opened the door, and went to find Kindaichi and Akechi Kengo.
…
Twenty minutes later, everyone gathered back in the fireplace. Maki Mehito, Kindaichi and others used dry towels to wipe the wet hair on their heads.
"How is it?" Nanase Miyuki asked.
"No, I can't find a way to leave this castle! I'm completely trapped!" Kindaichi held the towel and shook his head gently.
"How could this happen?!" Nanase looked frustrated.
Sagi and Akechi Kengo were alone at one end of the big table, carefully looking at the castle plan placed on the table.
Kindaichi asked: "Sagi, Mr. Akechi, are there any secret passages or compartments inside the castle?"
"There is no such thing as a secret room! Everything is exactly the same as this structural diagram." Akechi was also quite disappointed, and then he stared at Samu opposite him and said regretfully, "It seems that before, Sagi-kun,
The idea of a basement playroom is very forward-thinking.”
Kindaichi also nodded, "If we had checked each other's bodies at that time to see if they were carrying remote controls, we would have been able to catch Redram directly."
"It's just a premonition...but it can't be done now," Saoki rubbed his sore shoulders, "After I mentioned it once, 'Leedlam' was already alert. The gap between just now and now, the time between
Enough for him to hide the remote control!"
"Hey, what do you mean by these words?" Bando Kusaburo stood up as soon as he sat down and asked, "The murderer of Touma Hui is among us?"
Saoki rolled his eyes at him, "Does this need to be said? After searching like this, we can't find the 11th person including Touma Hui. Of course, 'Leedram' is one of us!"
"By the way, Deacon Nanshan, you should have seen 'Redlam', right?" Maki Mehito asked the big man in black.
Nanshan Junzo shook his dark hand, "No...Actually, I have never met him in person. All my actions are done according to his instructions..."
"It seems that we have been cleverly put into a rat cage and fell into this murder trap set by 'Redlam'!"
