Chapter 117: The Disappearing Corpse (5)

I have to say that the technique of this secret room is quite simple, and it can be completed with just one line.

But just solving the mystery of the secret room doesn't seem to be of much use.

Officer Twilight's frowning brow was still unfinished, "Brother Maori, what about the corpse?" Even if you explain the secret room, there is no way to hide the corpse! He said.

"It's true that the disposal of the body is a big problem." Maori also admitted, "After all, it is impossible for such a big person to hide in front of everyone."

Everyone subconsciously held their breath.

"So, there's only one explanation, and that's that the body, from the beginning, wasn't in this room!"

"Huh?"

At this moment, the players were a little unable to understand, and wondered, is this sleeping Kogoro because there is no Conan standing behind him, which has caused his reasoning ability to plummet?

Officer Twilight was also very puzzled, "Emori, did you make a mistake, the body was hanging in this room at that time, and even your daughter Xiaolan saw it." ”

"They did see it, but what they saw was misled by the murderer!" Maori said.

"Misleading?"

The crowd seemed to be lost in thought because of the word.

Mr. Maori didn't sell it either, he just shouted "Xiaolan! ”

"I'm here!" Xiaolan stood out of the crowd.

"Please recount what happened when you saw the body!" Maori said again.

Xiaolan recalled slightly, "At that time, there were a total of 6 of us in the back of the hotel, and when we raised our heads, we saw the corpse hanging on the beam, and then everyone quickly ran to the main entrance of the hotel. ”

"That's not right!" Maori interrupted Ran's retelling, "There are no details in your retelling. ”

"Details?"

"Well, you just said that you saw the corpse, but did you really see the corpse?"

"This" Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, and then immediately shook her head, "No, I didn't see it, we just saw the shadow of the corpse at that time, because the corpse was blocked by the curtain, so we just saw a black outline." ”

"I see!" As soon as Twilight heard this, she immediately reflected, "Could it be that Maori brother, you are saying that the murderer just created a fake model, or that the shadow is actually himself!" And when the murderer waited until someone found him, he quickly exited the room and disguised it as a secret room? ”

"Of course not," Mori dismissed his speculation before Twilight could finish speaking, "Not to mention whether or not it is feasible to hang in front of a window in disguise as a dead man, it is difficult to accomplish it in terms of time alone." Because Xiaolan ran very fast at that time, it only took about a minute. In such a short period of time, it is difficult for the murderer to complete the secret room, and the most important thing is that the murderer has no reason to create the illusion that a corpse is hanged. ”

"Well, that's right." Twilight mused, "There's no reason for the murderer to take such a big risk to let people see the hanged corpse, so what do you mean by illusion?" ”

Twilight asked, a little anxious.

"Illusion, illusion is actually very simple, that is the room that Xiaolan and they saw, and it is not the room we are in now!"

"What?!"

This time, it is another amazing effect.

Maori didn't pay attention to everyone's shock: "Xiaolan! He shouted again.

"Huh!"

"Why were you sure that the room you saw was the room you were in? It stands to reason that at such a distance from the eighth floor, you should only be able to confirm the floor, but it is very difficult to determine which room is on the eighth floor! ”

"We," Lan struggled to recall, "Oh, by the way, we saw the red curtains!" ”

"Red curtains?"

"That's right! We met this gentleman downstairs. "Xiaolan pointed to who to love" At that time, only he and his girlfriend lived on the eighth floor of this hotel, and the guest room they lived in was a suite that only couples would choose, that is, this one! ”

When Twilight heard this, she also took over the topic, "That's right, in ordinary hotels, in order to decorate the romantic atmosphere between couples, most couples' rooms will use red curtains. Twilight said, pointing to the red curtains in the room.

"Hmm." Maori muttered, "What about the next room?" ”

"Next door? It's just an ordinary room next door! Xiaolan said.

At this moment, a waiter on the side also answered, "Yes, on this floor, there is only this couple's room." ”

"Hmm," Maori muttered, "yes, that's what I said to be misleading!" Actually, you saw the red curtains at the time, so you thought that the place where the corpse was hung was this couple's room.

However, in fact, it was the room next door that actually hung the corpse! ”

"Huh? This won't be. "Next door is an ordinary room, where to get red curtains, even if you get red curtains, it will be dismantled and unloaded, and there is not enough time!" ”

"Enough!" "Because, the murderer doesn't need to bother with the curtains at all, he just needs to make the light red!" Conan! ”

Maori suddenly shouted.

As soon as the words fell

"I'm here!" Conan suddenly came out of nowhere, and in his hand, he was holding a circle of red paper.

"What is this?" Xiaolan couldn't help asking.

"That's what Uncle Maori just told me to ask my waitress sister." Conan said in a milky voice, and then handed the paper in his hand to Xiaolan.

Xiaolan unfolded the paper and found that it was a red piece of rice paper.

This paper is similar to the Chinese New Year couplet, but thinner.

"Oh, that's what we usually use to wrap our keys." The waiter on the side said.

At this time, everyone also remembered that when they took the door key, the keys were wrapped in this kind of paper, and the number of the door was written on the paper, and as I said before, the keys to the hotel were made by a very famous locksmith, so they must not be able to engrave numbers on it casually, so they made a delicate small envelope with paper, which was convenient and good-looking, and also reflected the respect for the guests.

"Now put this piece of paper over the lamp."

Maori said.

And Xiaolan didn't hesitate, she directly moved a chair and pasted the paper on the lamp!

In an instant, the entire room was shrouded in a red light, and the body of the girl was bathed in scarlet light, looking extremely terrifying
