Keiko, who is also a tourist in the Shinai River, told the legend about the hidden gods.

Although the current situation is indeed difficult to explain, several young people do not agree that the mysterious disappearance of the body is the so-called hidden incident.

"I think we should start by talking about where everyone was and what they did from last night to now, especially before and after the crime."

Yu Ping'an looked at everyone present with a solemn face and said his thoughts.

"Do you suspect the murderer among us?"

Keiko was the first to say.

"Anything that can't be ruled out at the moment?"

Yu Ping'an said lightly.

When Keiko heard this, she showed a frightened look, looking at the people in the room, it seemed that the real murderer scared her more than the hidden incident.

Nakamura and Minako looked at each other and nodded noncommittally, seemingly acquiescing to Yu Ping'an's proposal.

"Then let me start with it, at about 9:30 last night, Shiling and I, as well as Manager Zhang, returned to the room after playing table tennis in the activity room, until Shiling and I were woken up by Xiaomi's shouting in the morning. It was about 5:20 a.m., and then Shiling and I went out and met Manager Zhang and Ms. Keiko. ”

Yu Ping'an introduced the situation from yesterday to the present.

Keiko continued, "My husband and I returned to the room from the public bath at around 4:30 p.m. yesterday and never left until we heard the screams of the proprietress in the morning, and then met the three. ”

As she spoke, Keiko pointed to Chen Shiling and the others.

"Ms. Keiko, we didn't see you at the restaurant yesterday!"

Yu Ping'an asked.

"Oh! We had dinner in our own room, and as you know, my husband was not very convenient, so I asked the hostess to bring dinner to the room. ”

Keiko explained.

Everyone nodded, feeling that there was nothing suspicious about what Keiko said.

Next up is Nakamura.

"Minako and I also returned to the room around 9:30 p.m., and all three of us know that." Nakamura also pointed to Yu Ping'an and the others, "Then we never left the room until you came to knock on the door in the morning, it was about 6:00." ”

"Did you hear Ms. Mi's shouting? If so, why didn't you go out as soon as possible, but waited until we knocked on the door? ”

Yu Ping'an questioned.

"That's right, Minako and I are used to sleeping with soundproof earplugs, especially when we are traveling, and we also wore earplugs yesterday. I think that's why we didn't hear the hostess's shouts. ”

Nakamura looked at his lover Minako, and Minako nodded, which confirmed Nakamura's statement.

Zhang Maosen was beside Chen Shiling, and translated everything everyone said to Chen Shiling in an intimate whisper.

"After talking for a long time, everyone is the only one in the same room who can testify to each other, but the people in the same room must protect their companions! So you can't believe everything you say. ”

Chen Shiling whispered.

"But I'm living alone, and no one can prove that I never left the room!"

Zhang Maosen responded in a low voice.

"Are you a murderer?"

Chen Shiling asked with a serious face.

"I'm not!"

Zhang Maosen's face was innocent.

"I believe in you!"

Chen Shiling nodded and said solemnly.

Yu Ping'an and Zhang Maosen both coincidentally felt that Chen Shiling was cronyism.

"When we were in the work area just now, we found that there was only one room for resting, so Ms. Xiaomi and Mr. He Jiu should have been together last night, of course, this has to be confirmed with Ms. Xiaomi."

Yu Ping'an said.

"Do you mean that the boss was killed this morning?"

Nakamura continued, understandingly.

"Yes! Combined with what Ms. Xiaomi said, it should be that after the two of them got up and went to be busy, the old gentleman was killed in the storage room. ”

Yu Ping'an added.

"Could it be that Kazuku sneaked out of the room in the middle of the night and was killed in the storage room?"

Chen Shiling expressed her conjecture.

"It is also possible that the murderer is Xiaomi, doesn't it mean that in many cases, the first person to find the deceased is often the murderer?"

Zhang Maosen also expressed his conjecture.

"I can't rule out these possibilities, but the biggest suspicion now is why the body suddenly disappeared, and when the body disappeared, we were on the way out of the work area. Also, What exactly was the purpose of the murderer hiding the body? ”

Yu Ping'an voiced his confusion.

"Didn't you just say that there is a courtyard behind the work area, and that it is only separated by a wall from the courtyard of the guest room and the courtyard of the open-air bath? Could it be that the prisoner carried the body from the backyard to the guest room or open-air bath? ”

Nakamura voiced his opinion.

"The wooden fence is 3 meters high, and it is almost impossible for a person to climb over the fence in such a short time with a corpse. And ......" Yu Ping'an looked at Nakamura, hesitated slightly, and then said: "At that time, Ms. Xiaomi, Miss Keiko, and the three of us, a total of 5 people were at the front desk, so the only people who could have climbed over the fence with the corpse at that time could have been Mr. Nakamura, Miss Minako, and Mr. Yamashi. ”

Nakamura listened to Yu Ping'an's words, and Huo De stood up.

"Are you suspicious of us?"

Nakamura roared, and Chen Shiling felt a bit of a Japanese devil.

Seeing this, Minako hurriedly grabbed Nakamura and tried to stop him from arguing with Yu Ping'an.

"Mr. Nakamura, please calm down, I just said that during that time, it is possible for the three of you to complete the removal of the body, but from the objective conditions, I don't think you can complete this matter, in addition, the most important thing is that the whereabouts of Mr. Kazuhisa's body are now unknown, and we also searched the entire hotel together, and we did not see the whereabouts of the body. All that is left now is to make reasonable guesses and figure out the truth of the matter. ”

Yu Ping'an said his thoughts unhurriedly.

Seeing that the object of the quarrel looked calm, coupled with Minako's repeated persuasion, Nakamura lost the momentum of the quarrel, and at the same time felt that what Yu Ping'an said was not unreasonable, so he sat back next to Minako.

"The body must have been hidden, right?! And isn't there a locked room that we haven't checked? ”

Chen Shiling said.

Yu Ping'an, Zhang Maosen, and Keiko all suddenly brightened, and they all thought of the locked room in the work area.

"That's right! And that room hasn't been explored! ”

Zhang Maosen stood up and walked in the direction of the work area.

When everyone saw this, they followed.

Everyone went to Xiaomi's room first, ready to ask her for the key to that room.

But the old woman's room was still tightly locked.

Keiko tentatively knocked on the door and called softly.

"Go away! Go away! The ghosts and gods retreat! ”

From the room came the voice of millet, and along with the shout, the sound of metal and stones could be heard, 'Clang......! Zheng ......! Zheng ......!'

"What sound?"

Chen Shiling heard the strange voice, looked at the people around her and asked.

"It should be the sound of a fire sickle hitting the flint."

Keiko explained in a whisper.

"The Japanese think that using a fire sickle to make fire can drive away ghosts!"

Zhang Maosen explained intimately.

"Let's not disturb the proprietress for the time being, I'm afraid I'll scare her!"

Keiko then whispered, for fear of making a noise to Xiaomi.

Everyone nodded silently and continued to walk down the passage.

When I got to the locked room, the door was still closed.

"What should I do?"

Zhang Maosen asked.

"Crash away!"

Yu Ping'an looked at everyone and proposed.

Everyone nodded noncommittally, it was more important to find out the truth of the incident than to destroy a door of the hotel......
