38 The reasoning of the two

"Do you mean to have a bed in the basement so that someone can sleep there?"

Mao Lilan probably understood what the two meant.

"Could it be that there is anyone who wants to imprison someone there?"

Sonoko Suzuki felt that she had thought of the key, and suddenly spoke out loud.

"How is that possible? If you're going to imprison someone, you can go anywhere in this empty villa, so why dig out a basement? ”

Shinichi Kudo retorted.

"Then the problem goes back to the basement."

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Let's put aside the basement problem and discuss the person who is going to sleep in the bed!" Think about it, if somebody prepares a bed like this so that somebody can sleep there, how do you think that person who came to sleep came in? ”

"I guess someone brought it in. After all, this is an unmanned villa, and no one will take the initiative to come in. ”

Maolilan said.

And Kudo Shinichi on the side showed a knowing smile at this time, then looked at Gao Yuan and asked, "Has Mr. Wise bought beer here in the past two days?" ”

"Nope."

Gao Yuan replied with some confusion.

"But did you bring someone in just so he could sleep in the basement?"

Sonoko Suzuki said she couldn't understand.

"Do you remember half a month ago, Dr. Asa said that the lights were on one night in this villa?"

Kudo Shinichi prompted, "It must have been the day that the person who dug out this basement brought someone to this villa." ”

"But what can you do with bringing people to this villa in the emptiness?"

Maoliran asked.

"There's a lot to do, like drinking or something."

Shinichi Kudo smirked, "Actually, I just found an empty beer can in the corner, and it looks like it was recently thrown there." Since it wasn't drunk by Mr. Wise, it could only have been drunk by outsiders who came in here. ”

Listening to Shinichi Fuji's words, Takato frowned and couldn't help but think.

"So you mean that night half a month ago, someone brought someone here for a beer, and then let the person who was brought in go into the basement to sleep after almost a drink?"

"That's right."

Kudo Shinichi agreed with this statement, which made Takato even more confused.

"But that's weird, if that's all there is to it, why put the bed in the basement? And it's not normal for people to sleep in this empty villa! ”

Sonoko Suzuki retorted.

"And it's weird to bring people here for beer!"

Māoriland could not accept this statement either.

"Perhaps, it's because of the need to make that person feel not strange that there is such a strange action."

Gao Yuan seemed to think of something, and said with some uncertainty, but after thinking deeply for a while, he showed a sudden expression, and then replaced it with a face full of surprise - "No! ”

"Looks like Mr. Wise has figured it out!"

Kudo Shinichi said, "Except for the impossible, even if the rest is impossible, that is the truth!" ”

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Regarding the conversation between Takato and Shinichi Kudo, Mao Liran and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't keep up with their train of thought at all.

"And what do you mean by 'making that person feel not strange'? It's weird to drink in an empty villa and go to sleep in the basement, okay! ”

Sonoko Suzuki said.

"Drink in an empty villa and go to sleep in the basement. It seems very strange to us, but what if it seems very normal to the person who was brought here? ”

Kudo Shinichi said.

"How can anyone think this is normal! What nonsense are you talking about, Kudo! ”

Sonoko Suzuki.

"For example, this is how the person who was brought in lived his own life...... No, to put it more bluntly, the man who was brought here thought it was a place he was familiar with? ”

Takato explained, but Moriran and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't understand what these two people were saying.

"To put it simply, there are two villas with the same layout! One is here; And the other room is where the man who was brought here originally lived! ”

Shinichi Kudo said it more bluntly.

"That's ...... digging the basement"

"Because of the difference!"

Before Mao Lilan finished speaking, Kudo Shinichi began to say: "Maybe the only difference between these two villas is that there is no basement here, so to make the layout of the two villas exactly the same, you have to dig a basement here!" ”

"If that's the case, the whole thing is understandable."

Takato began to explain.

Of course, for the sake of simplicity, let's call the person who digs the basement A, and the person who is brought here B.

"By chance, A found that the layout of this idle villa was almost the same as B's villa, so for some purpose, A dug a basement for this villa, so that the layout of the two villas became exactly the same. Then wait until one night half a month ago, A brought B here and drank together. Unbeknownst to B, this is not his own villa, and when he gets drunk, B habitually goes back to the basement to sleep. ”

For such an explanation, Mao Liran and Suzuki Sonoko showed surprised expressions, as if they were listening to a book from heaven, and Kudo Shinichi continued to add details.

"A's purpose in doing this, I think it should be to ask B to help him make an alibi! By digging the basement so deliberately, A said that what he wanted to do was a very important thing, and I think it was likely that he wanted to kill someone in the neighborhood, but if that person died, A would be very suspicious, so he needed someone to make an alibi for him, so B became the best candidate. ”

"Because B's own villa is very far from here, if B proves that A was drinking with him at the time of the crime and had no time to rush to the scene of the crime, then A's suspicion will naturally be cleared. Afterwards, A only needs to take the sleeping B back to B's own villa. ”

Gao Yuan said.

"Yes...... However, the layout of the two villas is exactly the same, which is too coincidental. And according to this statement, B's villa should also be empty, is this possible? ”

Maoliran asked incredulously.

"Of course it's possible. For example, B's villa is built according to this villa? As for B's villa, it is also very understandable that it is empty, because B's villa has just been built, and the furniture has not yet moved in! ”

Kudo Shinichi said, and now Maoliran and Suzuki Sonoko were completely dizzy.

"A had seen this villa before, and then B wanted to build a villa, so A took advantage of this and directly handed over the design of this villa to B, so that B could build a villa exactly like here, just because of B's insistence, B's villa built a new basement. Recently, the villa was built, and the furniture has not yet moved in, so B can only sleep in the basement for the time being. ”

Gao Yuan said.

"Wait a minute! Do you want to say that A wants to kill someone, so he took advantage of the fact that B wants to build a new villa a long time ago, in order to create an alibi for him half a month ago! ”

Mao Liran almost stood up in surprise, and Suzuki Sonoko also looked at the two people who made this reasoning with a shocked expression.

"A house was built to kill someone!"

Gao Yuanhua used the famous words in "The Crime of the Leaning House" to summarize this reasoning!

"In that case, let's make sure."

Kudo Shinichi said, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Officer Twilight, the Metropolitan Police Department's search section.
