"To be sure, there's one more person on the third floor."

Gao Cheng replied to Conan and continued to go to the fat butler's room to check.

Conan can't solve the puzzle for the time being, and he is not much better.

Although I have a little impression of the Buddha's annihilation event, I didn't expect to think of anything, and I haven't thought of the complete technique in advance for so long, and almost all rely on myself to collect clues for deductive reasoning.

Just after getting the detective card system, I also have the ability to start a famous reasoning.

The only thing that gives him an advantage over Conan is the reasoning he has learned, and the instincts he has formed because he has watched the episodes of "Conan......

Gao Cheng's thoughts flew.

The collection of clues this time was quite limited, but it was not without gains, and after bringing it into the perspective of the criminal, he almost had some idea of this case.

Back to square one.

The origin of the incident comes from the revenge of the accident 13 years ago, the criminal calls himself the "soul of the fifth person", and since the day of the Buddha's extinction 2 years ago, there have been supernatural events one after another, causing one of the three survivors, Kunyou's heart attack to get worse and worse, and since then, every time before the Buddha's extinction day, he will go to the home of the country, and the family has a close relationship with the country's friends.

Considering that all three of them were survivors of the accident 13 years ago, they may have colluded to conceal the truth of the accident that year, so they were overly sensitive to what happened on the day of the Buddha's destruction.

One of the suspicions is that there were only 4 known victims in the accident that year, all of whom were relatives of several members of the fat housekeeper, including a maid, a cook, a driver and a younger brother who happened to be together, and the fifth person's statement could not be explained.

Then there is the death of Sekiguchi, and the 4 housekeepers who did not have an alibi happened to be excluded from the prisoners because of their respective quirks.

If the murderers are either trying to confuse the public, they just don't want these people to be taken as murderers.

The suspicion of the death of the pass is how the prisoner entered the 3rd floor, and the only people who could ring the doorbell were a few people from the Guoyou family, to be precise, the fat housekeepers, because the few maids who had just been recruited did not enter their fingerprints, and at that time, only at the pass on the 3rd floor could open the door themselves.

In the second case, the murderer entered the 3rd floor again in the gap between the police recording fingerprints and asking for a confession, and this time it was Kunyou Chunda, that is, the deceased in the second case, who seemed to have a lot of trust in the murderer, and finally did not know what the prisoner saw when he opened the door, and died of a heart attack.

"This is ...... here"

After Gao Cheng finished reading the fat butler who met the characteristics of a perfectionist, he was stunned when he left.

Kuniyou Junda, who even the police don't trust, seems to be quite trusting to put the murderer on the 3rd floor, and listening to the tone of the last call, it seems that he is ready to talk to the murderer, so he asked Mrs. Kunyou to wait.

After Sekiguchi was killed, Kunitomo Junda trusted the most except for Mrs. Kuniyou, who went to the hospital with him......

There is only one who acts as a driver.

The two who have alibi certificates are indeed more trustworthy than the police in the eyes of Kunyu Jundae.

As for the alibi, if it was two people, Mianyin's younger brother survived 13 years ago......

Gao Cheng raised his head slightly, and while his thoughts were running rapidly, a large number of pictures flashed in his mind, and in the end, only two pictures were left.

When I first arrived at Guoyou's house to change my schedule, and when I drove Mrs. Guoyou to the hospital at night, the two moments of Mianyin appeared clearly in front of Gao Cheng's eyes.

Mianyin, who has been wearing gloves, usually only takes off his gloves when driving or writing, and it is also at these two moments that the second Mianyin has an extra scar on his left hand for a short time......

"It's a curse! It must be a curse!! Mrs. Guoyou, who was being questioned on the third floor, suddenly let out a frightened voice, "This home is really occupied by evil spirits!" ”

"Mrs. Kunyou?"

Gao Cheng and Conan strangely returned to the third floor and saw Mrs. Kuniyou squatting with her head in fear, looking very stimulated.

"What's wrong?"

"Detective Cheng, Chenghu," Coral Head Henggou was also frightened and turned pale, and cold sweat broke out, "The identification results have come out, fingerprints have been found on the rope and the medicine bottle, but they are inconsistent with the fingerprints of everyone in this family, and they are fingerprints that cannot be identified......"

"Unknown fingerprints?"

"How is this possible?" The fat butler's eyes widened, and his voice trembled, "How the hell did the prisoner get through that door?" Is it really an evil spirit? ”

"This ......"

Henggou swallowed his saliva, the door at the entrance of the 3rd floor is indeed only the people of the Guoyou family can ring the doorbell, and there is also the Guoyou Chunda who personally opens the door, even if the prisoner colludes with someone from the Guoyou family to enter the 3rd floor, there is no chance to get out at all.

No suspicious characters were found on the entire 3rd floor......

"The only thing that can be asserted now is that the prisoner is an unknown person other than us, and he appeared in front of Mr. Kuniyu in a very uncanny way, and then disappeared from the third floor......"

Sweat tricked from the corners of Henggou's eyes: "According to the report of the Identification Section, the other balconies and windows on the third floor are not used often, so there is no trace of being used by the prisoner from the state of the dust, and if Conan's testimony is credible, the prisoner did not escape with a rope...... I'm afraid only evil spirits can do it......"

"Sure enough, those people are doing it," Mrs. Guoyou completely turned into a pitiful worm, completely lost the temperament of a noble lady, and scratched her face in horror, "It has nothing to do with me......"

Gao Cheng looked at the panicked woman with a headache: "Madame......"

"Detective Joto!"

When Mrs. Guoyou saw Gao Cheng, she seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and said happily: "You must have a way, right?" I'll give you all the commission fee, double it, as long as it can save me......"

"I'm sorry, Detective Joto," said the fat butler helplessly, "Old friends Mr. Sekiguchi and Master were killed one after another, and Madame was hit too hard......"

The housekeeper hugged Mrs. Kuniyou and asked towards Henggou, "Officer, can you ask questions later?" Everybody's sleepy......"

"At least we know that the prisoner is an outsider, so we can go back to our room and rest first, right? It's almost 3 o'clock......"

"That's right," Henggou said as he looked at the time, a little sleepy, "but I'll still arrange for the police to be at your door in case anything happens again." ”

"Good ......"

"I still have a few questions," Gao Cheng called out to a few people from Guoyou's family who wanted to leave, and looked at Mrs. Guoyou, who was trembling, "Are there really only four people killed 13 years ago?" Ma'am, I can't help you without figuring it out. ”

"I ...... I don't know," Mrs. Kuniyou opened her mouth in fear, trembling a little more severely, "I don't know anything......

"Even if Madame doesn't say it, I can roughly guess it."

Gao Cheng's gaze swept over Mrs. Guoyou.

"In addition to the four members of the family of the country's friends who were killed, I am afraid that there is another person, and he was killed before the shipwreck...... I've asked someone to investigate.,Why Sekiguchi came to that ship 13 years ago.,Although the specific information needs to be found by the Kanagawa Yokohama Police.,But the former president of Sekiguchi disappeared at that time.,That's right.,It's that Sekiguchi has replaced the former president since then......"

"Huh?" Mrs. Guoyou looked at Gao Cheng in a daze.

"I've been wondering that Mr. Sekiguchi only came here last year after receiving the 'Fifth Person Soul' scare card, so the fifth person should be something Sekiguchi cares about."

Gao Cheng walked calmly in front of everyone.

"If Mr. Sekiguchi had gone on a trip to sea 13 years ago to dispose of corpses, the soul of the fifth person would have been able to match it, and there should have been some of the four people who were killed that year who survived and knew about Sekiguchi's corpse......"

"Speaking of Yokohama," Yokomizo said stunned, "my brother is at the Kanagawa Police Headquarters, so maybe you can ask." ”

"It really has nothing to do with me," Mrs. Guoyou looked at Gao Cheng in a daze, and almost cried after coming back to her senses, "I didn't know at all, it was Mian Yin's younger brother who found out!" The boat suddenly broke down, and the younger brother found that the propeller was entangled in a bag, and said that there was a human hand in the bag......"

"Is it really a corpse?" Yokozo exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course I don't know," Mrs. Kuniyu shrank back, "and when Brother Mian told us, the pass suddenly pushed away Mr. Mian Yin, who was driving the boat, and asked the boat to spspeed up, but the boat overturned on its side, and everyone fell into the sea......

"You said you were woken up by the gate while sleeping in the cabin......"

"That's because...... He only saved me and my husband at the pass, and then threatened us, saying that we were accomplices who would not save us......"

Mrs. Guoyou faced everyone's eyes and emphasized: "At that time, there was only one inflated lifeboat, and I originally planned to go for help first, but he was ...... He kept us silent, saying that the others wouldn't survive anyway, and that he had asked for a lot of money from us over the years......"

"We'll talk about that later."

Gao Cheng looked at Mrs. Guoyou's appearance as if she was lying, and suddenly had a bottom in his heart.

"No matter what the truth was 13 years ago, it can't be hidden, and now the key is to find out the murderer of this case, and the murderer who killed Sekiguchi and Mr. Kunitomo one after another is still hiding on the 3rd floor......

"The murderer is still on the 3rd floor?" Henggou was stunned, "But we have already searched for it, and we have not found any suspicious characters......"

"Did you really not find out?"

Gao Cheng once again met the sight of the fat housekeeper.

"It's not all the police involved in the search, are they?"

"Detective Joto, are you suspicious of us?" The housekeeper Shigeko was dissatisfied, "Can we still hide the murderer?" ”

Yokogou smiled bitterly: "I just let them follow, if there are suspicious characters, I can't see ......"

"How about looking for it again?" Gao Cheng directly interrupted, "But it's different from before, this time Officer Henggou will be the last." ”

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course, if you send more police, you can find out the culprit, but it's just more convenient."

Gao Cheng stood at the door of the bedroom and looked at the other rooms with a chuckle: "Let's start with the study next door, find out the murderer together, or the murderer will come out by himself, and the other Mr. Mianyin ......"

"W-What do you mean?"

Henggou was completely unclear about the situation, and in confusion, the study next door suddenly opened by itself, and a young man who was exactly the same as Mianyin appeared in front of everyone with his mouth pursed.

"No need to look for ......"

"What's going on?" Henggou glared and said, "Two, two? ”

"Like Officer Henggou, you're just twins."

Gao Cheng exhaled lightly in his heart.

There were not enough clues, and he couldn't be completely sure that it was the twins who committed the crime until the last moment, but he didn't run away this time......

"Mr. Mianyin's habit of taking notes is really two years ago, that is, after the car brake accident, if the two brothers share this notebook that records big and small things, they can take turns to play the role of Mianyin in the family of Friends of the Country, reducing the possibility of being debunked after committing the crime......"

Gao Cheng looked at the twins who were almost identical.

"The wall calendar in Mr. Mianyin's room is the same, it is full of schedules, and the two of them take turns to write, because the circle drawing method in front of the schedule will be different because of different dates, and the frequency of alternation has been gradually accelerating since two years ago, the purpose should be for this crime, I think the unknown fingerprint should be deliberately left by my brother, right?

"The younger brother sent Mr. and Mrs. Kuniyou to the hospital to make an alibi, and then the elder brother found an opportunity to open the gate on the third floor through the fingerprint machine, thus killing the pass, and the reason why he hung on the balcony railing was so that several other people would not be suspected......

"The purpose of creating an alibi is also to gain the trust of Mr. Kunitomo, because for Mr. Kunitomo, Mianyin, who was with him at the time, was the most suspicious security person......"

Gao Cheng paused, there was no longer any need for him to continue reasoning, and the performance of the twins could be seen that there was no intention of justification.

"Let's go to the police station for the rest."

"But," Yokozo came back to his senses, "I didn't see anyone on the third floor before......"

"Because Mr. Mianyin, regardless of whether he enters the room or leaves and walks behind everyone, as long as he searches the previous room where the accomplice is hiding, he stays inside, and then the accomplice in the next room can finally blend in with the crowd, because they are identical twins and are not discovered."

"What about the Buddha's extinction?" Wave Hua is still a little difficult to accept, "The shipwreck is obviously the day of Da'an on September 29......"

"Because 13 years ago, October 4 happened to be the day of the Buddha's destruction, that is, the day when the old man proposed to the police to terminate the search operation......"

Mian Yin lowered his head and looked at Gao Chengdao: "So the master himself has always been very concerned about this day, the nightmare and the brake failure of the car are just coincidences, I also feel strange, until I met my brother who has been amnesiac for many years, and I didn't know the truth from my brother who recovered his memory......"

"Yes," said the other, "I swam to the shore and lost my memory when I was saved, and I remembered it when I happened to meet my brother two years ago. ”

Mian Yin's expression was complicated: "Detective Chengto, although it may be a little late to say it now, I still want to trouble you to do a favor, at least to prove the evil deeds committed by that guy at the pass......"

"Sekiki?" Gao Cheng looked at the twins and paused for a while, then nodded, "Yes." ”

It's another loss-making business, but it's just a matter of investigating the passes......
