Chapter 102: Lucia's Puppet Murder (5)

The moon lifted the long hair that covered her face, revealing her badly burned skin. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"I've been in a fire before, and my brother has lost consciousness due to carbon monoxide poisoning, and he's still in a vegetative state in the hospital, and what Master Yamanouchi said in the video is true. So I'm going to get the inheritance no matter what, even if it's any means. ”

Everyone wears a mask in life, and different masks will be used in the face of different people, and Youyue dares to temporarily take off the mask and face everyone, which makes Xingchen can't help but look up to her a little more.

From Youyue's words just now, Xingchen found a suspicious point.

What the character of Master Yamauchi is, Xingchen can't make a conclusion yet, but Yamauchi can get the title of master, at least it shows that he is dedicated to his work.

However, a mystery novel that allows readers to guess the murderer halfway through it is undoubtedly a failed work. Why did Yamanouchi make such a low-level mistake?

Master Yamauchi is a physical book writer, and he doesn't need to reduce the quality of his work in order to pursue the speed of update like online writers. Xingchen suspects that the work that Yuyue saw as the murderer was not written by Yamauchi himself, but by someone ghostwriting.

Continuing to analyze, who is the person who Yamauchi does not hesitate to use his own name to publish inferior works?

Kaoru Umezono, who has only written one excellent work, and Kirie Koko, who showed his own work to Yamaouchi, Xingchen is almost certain to be one of these two people, and this person, nine times out of ten, is related to the serial murder cases that occurred in the villa.

There is another issue to be aware of, the murderer killed people in the order of the "code" given by Master Yamanouchi.

"In the court meeting, the heads of the people were cut off in order from front to back", the phrase indicates that the murderers killed people in order of the puppets from short to tall.

But Ou Lijia of the viola and Ta Niang of the second violin, the two dolls are exactly the same height,

Xingchen has always thought that the next victim will be Youyue who chose the viola because of the order of the dolls on the table and the relationship between the violin models, and now that I think about it, it is possible that Meiyuan will be killed before Youyue, or they will be killed at the same time.

Although Mei Yuan was not ruled out as a murderer, and Xingchen did not like women who smoked, out of humanitarianism, Xingchen still kindly reminded Miss Mei Yuan to be careful of her own safety.

As for how much it can help, the stars don't care.

The villa life in the deep mountains is boring and boring, coupled with the continuous murders, like a shackle, which makes people's hearts extremely heavy.

People are wary of each other, and no one knows if the person you are talking and laughing with at the moment will raise a sharp knife and cut off your head the next moment.

Throughout the day, in addition to thinking about clues to solve the case, Xingchen and Yue Shui also searched the villa as much as possible, trying to find the remaining dolls hidden by the murderer and the murder weapon with the severed head.

Until the evening, the efforts of the two men yielded no results.

At dinner, Xingchen proposed that in order to prevent the murderer from poisoning the food, from now on everyone has the right to exchange food and utensils with other people before eating, especially the remaining three candidates can exchange with other people unconditionally.

Judging from the murderer's behavior of killing the estate candidates in turn, the murderer should not have attacked everyone at once, at least the murderer himself did not want to die.

If the food is really poisoned, if the exchange is in front of the murderer himself, will he eat it or not?

At this time, whoever opposes this approach will undoubtedly increase their suspicion, so everyone unanimously agreed with Xingchen's proposal.

"Xingchen, you are so smart! you can come up with such a good solution!" Yue Shui praised Xingchen.

"It's nothing, I'm the head of the Junior Detective Corps. How can you convince the public without this means!" Xingchen was not polite at all, but with his childish expression, people couldn't help laughing.

After dinner, there was no incident.

When the maid wanted to clean up the dishes, Xingchen quietly hid a table knife for Western food.

This little action did not escape the eyes of the magician Rosyth, who walked up to the stars and whispered, "Little friend, it's not a good habit to steal things!"

Seeing that his little trick was exposed, Xingchen calmly admitted: "I'm just defending myself! Mr. Magician, everyone has secrets, do you want me to tell your secrets?"

Xingchen only knows that Rosyth is unwilling to show his true face, and does not know his specific secrets, but this is enough, since ancient times, it has been the most offensive to the heart, and the hole cards can make the opponent fear the most when they are not revealed.

Roseth only smiled slightly after hearing Xingchen's "threat" and did not continue to entangle.

It was fast to midnight, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

As Xingchen passed by Rosyth's room, he saw two rows of thick wardrobes in the doorway, which made Xingchen have to admire this clever magician.

At first glance, it seems that he is locked in the room, but in fact, it has become the best protection, if the murderer is only one person, then there is no way to remove the cabinet, if the murderer has two people, the movement they make from moving the cabinet will also attract the attention of others.

Next door to Roseth's room lives Miss Moon, and in the silence of the night, the stars hear the sound of musical instruments playing, presumably Miss Moonmoon playing her viola.

Xingchen glanced at his phone, and the time showed that it happened to be twelve o'clock in the morning.

Since the first murder, Xingchen has not played mobile games or read e-books, because he has to live in the villa for several days, and he is worried that the villa may suddenly lose power or be destroyed by the murderer, and when it is dark, the mobile phone can at least serve as a flashlight.

After a while, the music stopped, and Xingchen felt that it was late, so he stopped disturbing Youyue's rest and went back to his room to sleep.

The next day, when people woke up and found that Miss Yuyue had not appeared, they gathered around the door of her room to try to wake her up.

But everyone shouted a few times, but the dark moon in the room did not respond.

"Guys, what's wrong?" asked Rosyth, the magician in the next room, who had to wait in the room because the door was blocked.

"Mr. Roseth, Miss Moon, who is with you, can't be called. Tashiro replied.

Xingchen felt a sense of foreboding, and he hurriedly asked Roseth, "Is the master key on the lock rack still with you?"

"Of course, with me, I carry it with me even when I sleep. Rosyth replied in the affirmative.

After that, everyone worked together to remove the obstacle at Roseth's door, and asked him to remove the spare key from the lock rack and open the door of Miss Yuyue's room.

only to find that the moon was already in a different place, and the doll of Viola Oliga was lying quietly next to the corpse......

"What the hell meow!" Xingchen couldn't help but let out a foul mouth, and crouched down and slammed his small fist on the floor.

Youyue finally couldn't escape the clutches of the murderer!

The kind sister who came to participate in this deadly reasoning contest for the medical expenses of her vegetative brother.

The brave girl whose face was badly burned by the fire, but still has the courage to face life.

Just dead!

After his death, he was ruthlessly cut off by the murderer.

The stars are furious!

The first time he saw the moon, the stars had a crush on her for no reason.

Later, compared to the other four candidates' reasons for competing for the inheritance, Yuyue's behavior of fighting for her brother's medical expenses shows her personality charm.

The murderer's act of killing Youyue is tantamount to challenging the bottom line of the stars!

Xingchen secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely find out the murderer and bet on Kira's name!

Compared to the angry star, Yue Shui was relatively calm at this point, she found the key to Yuyue's room from the drawer, and checked all the windows in the room, and found that they were all locked from the inside out.

Yue Shui picked up the key, walked to the door, inserted the key lock and turned it, "The key can be used, this key is really the only key in this room, the windows are all locked, and the room is on the third floor, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter through the window." So it's a case of a murder in a locked room. ”

Magician Rosyth, despite everyone's surprise at hearing the "Murder in the Closed Room", walked alone to Yuyue's corpse and knelt down on one knee, and gently touched Yuyue's open eyes with his hand.

Xingchen saw the man's bleak back, and could feel that the pain in his heart was worse than his own.

Well, the sad time must pass. Xingchen regained his spirits, and only by finding the murderer could he comfort the spirit of the moon in the sky.

After carefully inspecting the crime scene with Rosyth, Koshisui and Roses determined that all the windows in the room were locked from the inside, and there were no signs of the locks on the doors being picked.

There were no mechanisms in the room, the only thing that was a nuisance was that there was a tiny gap under the door, but it wasn't big enough for the key to pass through.

"Isn't it too early to determine that it is a 'secret room killing' now? Isn't there another person who can enter and exit this room freely without wire or anything?" Gao Zhi, a high school student, suddenly spoke, looked at Rosyth and reasoned: "Although Mr. Rosyth's door is blocked by a cabinet, we can't be sure if there is a secret passage to the outside in his room!"

"I see, is that why you think I'm a murderer?" said Roseth, leaning against the window with his hands folded.

Of course, the evidence doesn't stop there. Gao Zhi said confidently: "In fact, when Mr. Koji was killed, I felt strange. Mr. Tadaji was just killed, but the others and I slept soundly. At that time, I suspected that someone had given us sleeping pills, so I paid special attention to everyone's meal at dinner yesterday. ”

It seems that Xingchen is not the only one who suspects that the sleeping pills in the Russian black tea they drank the night before.

"One of the things I pay the most attention to is the hot cocoa after the meal, and the cocoa we drink is not sweetened at the beginning, but added caster sugar before drinking. Miss Yue Shui, you didn't add sugar last night, did you?"

"Yes, because I'm losing weight and can't eat sweets. "Girls seem to be losing weight all the time.

"And did you sleep well last night?" Gao Zhi continued.

"No, I'm in a very good spirit, I've been in a state of euphoria. Yue Shui replied.

"Compared to the other people who are groggy in the morning, only Miss Yueshui, who has no sugar in the cocoa, can't sleep well, this is not accidental, since the sugar is added to the sleeping pills, the murderer will naturally not use it, and he will not be able to commit murder if he falls into a coma, isn't it? Mr. Roseth?" Gao Zhi asked Roseth meaningfully.

"No! this Mr. Magician is not a murderer. ”

Only those who were close to him were killed, but he was wrongfully accused of being a murderer. Xingchen didn't want to see this happen, and he stood up for Roseth, saying, "I know there is a way to drink cocoa with caster sugar and not take sleeping pills. ”

Everyone looked at Xingchen in surprise, expecting him to give a clear explanation.

"Cocoa is made from milk, and as long as it is left out for a while, a milk film will develop on the surface. The real murderer was able not to drink sleeping pills as long as he wrapped the caster sugar in a milk film. ”

"Oh, this kid knows a lot!" Mei Yuan was very curious, how could a seven-year-old child know so many things.

"Because I drink coffee and milk a lot, whether it's cold or hot, if I drink too much, I will naturally understand this phenomenon better. Xingchen didn't sell cuteness as usual, but said with a serious expression.

Unlike the previous two homicides, the scene of Yuyue's death was deliberately created by the murderer. The bodies of Tadaji and Koji were moved to a place where people could immediately find them.

If, as Tashiro's housekeeper said, the only key to each room is the guest and the spare key on the lock rack, then how is the secret room completed? Without cracking the secret room, it is impossible to find the murderer of Yuyue.

"Everyone, you have the keys to your own rooms with you, please use your own keys to try to open the door of Sister Yuyue's room. Xingchen thought of a possibility.

"Little ghost, now is not the time for you to play a deduction game, please recognize the occasion. Gao Zhigang was cracked by Xingchen's so-called reasoning, and now he is starting to retaliate.

"The keys in our hands are all specially manufactured, maybe the keys with different appearances can open the same door, if this is the case, then whoever has the key in the hand can open the door of Sister Youyue's room, who is the murderer, don't you dare?" Xingchen looked at Gao Zhi coldly, with a hint of chill in his eyes.

There is a perverted murderer in the villa, and people have to stay here for three days, so instead of worrying about suspicion of each other, it is better to find the murderer as soon as possible.

Although they knew that Xingchen's assumption was not reliable, everyone still took out the keys one by one and tried to open the door of Youyue's room.

Naturally, the result was that everyone's keys failed to open the key lock.

The hypothesis of the stars fails.

"Youyue had already taken sleeping pills at the time, and the murderer should have used the key to enter the house to commit the murder, and the key should not be the one that Youyue held herself, and no one was able to make a secret room, and put the key in a completely closed drawer. So it is only possible that the murderer used the spare key on the lock rack, but the spare key was also locked, how did the murderer get his hands?" Xingchen unconsciously began to talk to himself, and his reasoning fell into an endless loop.
