There are four dummies in the room, and they sit at the dining table to eat.

Yuta Imada, a 35-year-old lawyer who was suspected of being poisoned, had a painful expression and wore a ring on the middle of his left hand and a blackened nail cover.

Yumiko Takimoto, a 22-year-old housewife who was closest to the victim, wore a wedding ring on the ring finger of her right hand to prove that she was married, and her expression was horrified, as if she did not expect the victim to die at all.

Yukito Maruda, a 31-year-old doctor, sat across from lawyer Yuta Imada, and pressed one hand on the hand of the head nurse next to him, Mayu Hamama, comforting the panicked head nurse Mayu Hama.

On the wall is a photo of the four of them in the past, proving that the four are friends and meet almost every year.

There are trophies and documents in the cabinet next to the wall.

The trophy reads Outstanding Young Lawyer, Best Contributing Lawyer of the Law Firm, and the Grand Prize of the Annual Debate Competition, as well as some of the cases handled by Yuta Imada.

"Who is the murderer? Not a doctor? ”

Ryota Shima asked repeatedly.

"It should be said that the murderer is not only a doctor, but all three of them are murderers.

"This is a simple reasoning case, because it is impossible for the devil's house to have too complicated cases, so that everyone can't find the exit, and they have been wasting time inside, which will affect the experience of the next wave of tourists, as long as you look a little closely, you will know why the three are murderers."

Shirakawa said with a smile.

Ryota Shima, Daisuke Furuhashi, and Kokomi Yano have their eyes lit up, and after getting the answer, they start to quickly search for clues in the house.

After looking at the photo wall, they found some problems.

Yumiko Takimoto and Yukito Maruta are supposed to be a couple, while Mayu Hama, the head nurse, looks very similar to Yuko Takimoto, with similar hair color, face shape, and eyes, and they may be cousins who are related.

And they found a fifth person in the photo, a handsome man who wore the same wedding ring on his hand as Takimoto Yuko, proving to be Takimoto Yuko's ex-husband.

"It turns out that Takimoto Yuko and Nagahama Mayu are sisters, Takimoto Yuko's husband is someone else, and Takimoto Yuko and Maruta Yukito are lovers."

Yaki said in surprise.

Shirakawa nodded.

"It's a complicated relationship."

Daisuke Furuhashi scratched his hair.

"But we still haven't found a clue as to why the three of them joined forces to kill the lawyer."

Ryota Shima said.

Yano picked up the document on the table, which seemed to have been deliberately shuffled and needed to be rearranged.

After Yanomi sorted out the documents, she made a pleasant sound,

"Come and see, what I've found!"

Daisuke Furuhashi and Ryota Shima all surrounded him, and Shirakawa also turned his head cooperatively.

"There are three cases here, the first of which is a hospital patient dispute case, in which a lawyer was asked by his friend Yukito Maruta to help him resolve a patient dispute. The second is an insurance case, and the person concerned, Yumi Shiraki, seems to have nothing to do with the people at the scene. The third is the divorce case of Yuko Takimoto, and the client of the case is not Yuko Takimoto, but Ryoichi Takimoto. ”

Yano said.

"The contract says that the woman is cheating, and it is certain that Takimoto will be able to leave the house cleanly, or only get 10% of the property divided."

"It's really like this, that is to say, the lawyer used the relationship of a friend to find out that Takimoto Yuko and the doctor have always had an inappropriate relationship, and is ready to let Takimoto Yuko leave the house in the divorce case of Takimoto Yuko."

Daisuke Furuhashi said in surprise.

"So, Yuko Takimoto joined forces with her cousin Mayu Nagahama and Yukito Maruda to kill Yuta Imada."

Ryota Shima looked like he had solved the puzzle and said firmly.

The three of them looked at Shirakawa at the same time, seeking the right answer.

Shirakawa smiled, "It's almost like this, in fact, the lawyer should have threatened the doctor or the housewife and asked them for a lot of money, otherwise he would hand over the evidence of their cheating to the client Ryoichi Takimoto, of course, the lawyer did this because he was obsessed with gambling and owed a lot of money, you can observe the state of the lawyer's fingers, this is a long-term gambling, the calluses left when touching the chips, the producer specially enlarged it in order to let you see it, but they didn't find it." ”

"Huh? It turned out to be so! I thought it was the doctor who ate without washing his hands. ”

Ya Ambi pouted.

"And what did the deceased poison with?"

Daisuke Furuhashi asked.

"Pay attention to the plate of the four people at the table, what is Yuta Imada eating?"

Shirakawa asked.

"Isn't this a simple scrambled egg with tomatoes?"

Daisuke Furuhashi said.

"Well, but have you noticed any other details?"

Shirakawa prompted.

Yano pointed to a model of a bee on the edge of the plate and said, "There's a bee coming." ”

"Yes, the bees are attracted by the sweetness, and the scrambled eggs with tomatoes should have been added by the nurse with an excessive amount of saccharin! And saccharin and eggs are fused together to produce a toxin, which is the poison that causes the death of the deceased. ”

Shirakawa explained.

"I see."

Yano Shinmi, Ryota Shima, and Daisuke Furuhashi nodded one after another.

"So the whole case is actually that the lawyer is obsessed with gambling and owes a lot of money, so he wants to blackmail the doctor and the housewife with the help of the divorce case, and finally the doctor instructed the nurse to add an excessive amount of saccharin to the dish in order not to be blackmailed, which caused the lawyer to be poisoned, so the doctor will appease the nurse and put his hand on her hand, the housewife is not innocent, she kicked the doctor under the table, just want the doctor to do it as soon as possible."

Yaki concluded.

Shirakawa nodded, "Yes, that's true. ”

"Then we've solved the case, how can we get out?"

Ryota Shima has begun to miss his game console.

"yes, why are the four doors still closed?"

Yaki asked suspiciously.

"Could it be that we solved the case too quickly and didn't have time to submit the answer?"

Daisuke Furuhashi said excitedly.

Shirakawa shook his head, "Maybe these dummies have mechanisms on their bodies, and they moved the victim's fingers to the direction of the master's doctor." ”

Daisuke Furuhashi immediately did so, touching the body of the wax figure Yuta Imada.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed.

In the next second, Daisuke Furuhashi fell to the ground screaming.

He rolled back and rolled back, "Yuta Imada, yes, yes, it's a real person!" ”

Shirakawa was stunned, and his expression immediately became serious.

Yaki Kokomi and Ryota Shima were also frightened, and the two hid behind Shirakawa.

Shirakawa approaches the wax figure of Yuta Imada and touches the skin of the wax figure.

This is a real person who has been coated with a layer of wax oil, which looks indistinguishable from a wax figure.

But his body, after direct contact, is still different from other wax figures.

After confirming that Yuta Imada was the real person, the four of them immediately called the police.

Shuichi Mori took Saya Shiraki and others to the police, and the staff could only apologize for inviting the other tourists out.

"Kuraki-kun, meet again."

Mori Shuichi said with a frown.

Saya Shiraki waved his hand at Shirakawa.

"Officer Maori, Officer Saya, long time no see."

Shirakawa responded politely.

It seems that Takahashi has not yet told his subordinates about his identity.

That's fine, Shirakawa doesn't like to be called Takahashi-kun, and always feels that the name Kuraki-kun is already easy to hear.

"What's going on?"

Shuichi Mori asked.

The lively Yano Komii immediately opened her mouth to explain, "Our Hemu High School Detective Agency came to the Devil's House to explore and found that this wax statue Yuta Imada turned out to be a real person! ”

Shuichi Mori walked up to Yuta Imada and had the wax and makeup on his face erased and his real face seen.

"Ahh

The staff immediately screamed.

Mori looked back at them.

Both staff members wore blue uniforms, a man and a woman.

"This, this is our boss Hashiguchi-san!"

Yuriko, a female employee with a ponytail and delicate makeup on her face, said.

Kazuhiko Konuma, a male employee who is of medium stature and has bangs that cover half of his face, and who looks a little shy, also nodded repeatedly, indicating that this is their boss Sosuke Hashiguchi.

"Why is your boss here?"

Shuichi Mori looked at the two of them seriously.

In addition to them, there are other staff members in the Devil's House.

Kazuhiro Tabuchi, Yuri Matsuki, and Mayo Terao who play the zombies.

Kikuta Kitsuo, who plays the werewolf.

Ken Miyake, who plays the vampire, and Kuniki Tsumura, who plays the devil, were also called out, a total of 6 actors, who are usually also responsible for doing chores for the company, and are not professional actors.

Six people said they had no idea that the boss would be here.

The forensic doctor conducted a preliminary identification of the deceased Sou Hashiguchi, the cause of death was suffocation, the time of death was between 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning, there was no obvious wound on the body, it should be that after being unconscious, he was directly drenched in wax oil all over his body, and he died of suffocation, as for the means of coma, there are many ways, which can be physical or chemical, and a detailed examination is required, which takes time.

"Has Hashiguchi-san ever offended anyone?"

Shuichi Mori asked.

Yuriko shook her head, "I don't know much about Hashiguchi-san's private affairs, I only joined the company half a year ago, Hashiguchi-san's temper is not very good, he often loses his temper because of a little thing, and he once beat Matsuki-kun and Terao-kun, saying that they both owe him a lot of money." ”

Daisuke Furuhashi immediately looked at Yuri Matsuki and Mayo Terao, the two zombie actors, he had been scared by them before,

"It must be that the two of you owe money and don't want to pay it back, and they teamed up to kill Hashiguchi-san!"

"No, we don't."

Yuri Matsuki and May Terao nervously defended, "The three of us stayed together to practice last night because of our bad acting skills, and Tabuchi-san can testify to us." ”

"Still practicing at 5 a.m.?"

Daisuke Furuhashi asked suspiciously.

"Yes, our practice room is monitored, so you can go and see it if you are unlucky."

Tian Yuan and Hiroshi said.

Mori Shu glanced at Daisuke Furuhashi, "Furuhashi-san, please be quiet." ”

Daisuke Furuhashi swallowed his saliva and obediently shut up.

Kikuta Jitsuo, who played the werewolf, suddenly said in horror, "Furuhashi-san owes Mr. Taira Takuya a sum of money to the wax museum, and the last time I heard Mr. Hirahashi-san say that Furuhashi-san didn't pay back the money, he made him into a wax figure!" Unexpectedly true. ”

"Kuraki-kun, what do you think?"

Mori Shuri looked at Shirakawa.

"After the deceased Hashiguchi-san was doused with wax oil, he also made up someone else, and the murderer will definitely make a wax figure, and his makeup skills are also good."

Shirakawa analyzed.

"Do any of the eight of you know how to make wax figures? Or the makeup technique is very good. ”

Shuichi Mori asked solemnly.

When he is serious, he looks very vicious, and he can easily scare children into crying, so that ordinary people dare not lie.

Yano hides behind Shirakawa because she is afraid of the serious face of the Maori officer.

"We only have Yuriko here, and one is a makeup artist."

Kazuhiko Onuma, a male employee with bangs covering half of his face, said.

Yuriko said nervously, "I know how to make makeup, but I don't know how to make wax figures, the last batch of wax figures were damaged by a group of students who came to play on the weekend, and this batch was sent from Mr. Taira Takuya at 8 o'clock this morning, and it was the goods that Konuma-kun and Miyake-kun went to pull." ”

Kenri Miyake is a man who plays a vampire, he is tall, and when he heard Yuriko mention himself, he immediately stood up and said honestly,

"Yes, I went with Konuma-kun in the morning, and Mr. Taira Takuya was not at home at the time, and it was his apprentice who helped us carry all four wax figures to the car."

Kazuhiko Onuma nodded,

"Teacher Ping Zhuoya has the habit of going out for morning exercises every morning."

"Kuraki-kun, what do you think?"

Shuichi Mori asked Shirakawa again.

"Who set up this horror house?"

Shirakawa asked.

The staff looked neatly at Kazuhiko Konuma.

"The wax figure is carried to the truck, usually in a cabinet similar to a coffin, and in the process of carrying it to the site for arrangement, you will inevitably come into contact with the wax figure, don't you notice the abnormality?"

Shirakawa asked.

Even Daisuke Furuhashi and Shirakawa would notice the difference between the deceased and other wax figures after touching them, how could Kazuhiko Onuma, who had been doing this kind of work for a long time, not notice it?

Kazuhiko Onuma raised his hands, he had gloves on them, and he removed them, revealing his burned skin.

"Because I experienced a terrible fire 5 years ago, my hands looked very scary, and in order not to scare other people, I always wore thick gloves, and I really didn't find out that Yuta Imada was disguised by the boss, oh no, it was the boss who was killed."

Kazuhiko Onuma said the wrong thing because he was nervous.

Shirakawa nodded, and it seemed that the most suspicious person now was Mr. Hei Zhuoya.

"Then let's go to Mr. Ping Zhuoya's wax museum."

"Well, let's go now."

Mori Shuichi sent two police officers to record the confessions of the eight staff members present, and set off with Shirakawa and others towards the wax museum in Hiratakahaya.

Yanomi and Daisuke Furuhashi and Ryota Shima are also among them.

The three of them, including Shirakawa, also need to make a record.

"Shirakawa-chan, I didn't expect us to encounter another case."

Yano said excitedly.

"Yes, Shirakawa-chan really goes wherever the case happens."

Daisuke Furuhashi blurted out, and as if realizing that everyone around him was looking at him, he immediately covered his mouth.

"Damn, it's not Shirakawa-chan's fault!"

"I'm just talking about it."

Daisuke Furuhashi shut up again.

"Is the murderer really Mr. Ping Zhuoya? It sounds like he's both skilled and motivated to kill. ”

Yano Jimi looked at Shirakawa curiously.

"It's uncertain at this point, but sometimes the most obvious clues tend to point to the wrong outcome."
