The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 235 The Cursed Mask's Secret Chamber

"So, these are the so-called cursed masks?"

Inspector Megure confirmed with everyone.

"That's right,"

Maori Kogoro nodded.

"These are the Masks of Shobel, also known as the Cursed Masks."

"However, these masks were originally locked in the Mask Room. I don't know why they were brought here."

Bai Masong suddenly said at this time,

"There is another thing. When we were in the mask room, we heard a scream."

"In fact, I vaguely heard the sound of something falling along with the screams. Now that I think about it, it must be the mask that fell."

"Ah."

Officer Megure nodded.

Then he asked,

"When you came in, this room was closed, right?"

"That should be correct,"

Kogoro Maori said so.

When he came in before, he was the one who specifically tried to open the bedroom door.

He did feel some resistance at that time, and the bedroom door could not be opened.

"so,"

Inspector Megure pointed at the bedroom door on the floor, his mouth twitching.

"You just kicked open the door of this bedroom?"

"Forehead,"

Kogoro Mori was a little embarrassed, but he didn't think too much about it at the time.

"Yes, I kicked it open."

Bai Masong decisively admitted his atrocities.

"Then is it possible that the murderer faked the door to look like it couldn't be opened, thus deceiving everyone and making this a secret room?"

Inspector Megure asked thoughtfully.

"It shouldn't be possible."

Bai Masong directly denied this conjecture.

"At present, we have not found any props that can make Mr. Maori feel the illusion of locking the door, and the door lock was indeed broken by Dali. I think the murderer should not have the power of Xiaolan and me."

Bai Masong was speechless. Inspector Megure had seen so many things that he had become suspicious to this extent.

As a detective, being suspicious is a good thing, but Inspector Megure's idea is indeed a bit unrealistic.

If the murderer was able to fake a secret room in this way, then there is only one possibility, that is, Kogoro Mouri is his accomplice.

And this is obviously impossible.

"makes sense."

Inspector Megure was also a little embarrassed, and he seemed to realize the stupidity of his idea.

"But, I do care a little bit."

Bai Masong changed the subject and asked Inaba Kazuyo, the secretary of Sufang Hongzi who had just arrived,

"Ms. Sufang Hongzi, do you lock your bedroom door with two padlocks every night before you go to bed?"

Two padlocks?

Everyone was stunned.

Seeing this, Bai Masong walked to the bedroom door, bent down, and took out a big lock from under the bedroom door that had fallen to the ground.

This kind of lock is similar to the big padlock you use to lock your own house.

This is one lock, and the other one is naturally the lock that comes with the door.

Inaba Kazuyo saw this and explained,

"This thing was actually said by the master who sealed the cursed mask."

"When he sealed it, he made a lot of requests, one of which was that Teacher Su Fang installed two locks in the bedroom."

Forehead......

Everyone felt it was a bit abstract. This Su Fang Hongzi was really superstitious.

Bai Masong nodded, then looked at another door in the bedroom.

Kogoro Mouri had also noticed this door when he looked inside through the small window before.

However, at that time, Aichuan Fuyuya immediately stated that the door had been blocked long ago and no one could enter from there.

Now, after entering the bedroom, Bai Masong saw that the door lock and the door frame had been firmly nailed shut with nails and wooden boards, making it impossible for anyone to enter.

So, the question is, how did the murderer kill Sufang Hongzi in such a confined space?

At this time, Maori Kogoro also put forward his views.

"Is it possible that the murderer is an acquaintance of Ms. Sufang Hongzi and made an appointment with Ms. Sufang Hongzi to meet in this room that night?"

"And then kill him when he's not prepared, and then run away?"

This question from Kogoro Mori really scared Hakuba Matsu.

He originally thought that even if Kogoro Mori was pretending to be stupid, he would at least restrain himself.

However, I didn't expect that he would ask such a stupid question.

This time, even Inspector Megure started to undermine him.

"Hey, hey, hey, brother Maoli, the question now is not how the murderer got in, okay?"

"Now what we need to figure out is how the murderer got out!"

After Inspector Megure said this, Kogoro Mouri reacted instantly.

He scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Hakuba Matsu ignored Kogoro Mori's little farce and continued to observe the room.

In fact, all the murders in closed rooms, or murder schemes, have traces to follow.

The more the murderer does, the more wrong he actually is.

The truly powerful way to kill is like Gin's, just shoot and run.

Without surveillance and witnesses, you don’t know how to catch him.

However, while Hakuba Song was thinking, Maori Kogoro proposed another hypothesis.

"I see, this must be the case!"

"It started out just like I said. The murderer made an appointment with Ms. Sufang Hongzi, came to this room, and then killed her."

"Finally, he used the thread to lock the door of the room!"

"Yes, it must be like this!"

Kogoro Mori is full of confidence this time.

However, before Hakuba Matsu could speak, Inspector Megure started to refute again.

"Brother Maori, please be more careful!"

"Ms. Sufang Hongzi's room has two locks. Even if you use silk thread, you can twist the door lock."

"What about the other lock? You know, that lock needs to fit the keyhole on the door and door frame!"

Inspector Megure's words instantly gave Maori Kogoro a wake-up call.

"Forehead,"

Maori Kogoro pondered for a moment, and said stiffly,

"Is it possible that the murderer sawed the big lock in half, adjusted the position, and then glued it on, so that when the time comes, all he needs to do is close the door and it will automatically snap into place?"

"Ok?"

After listening to what Kogoro Mori said this time, Inspector Megure seemed to be thinking about something.

I feel that this statement is not impossible.

"Still wrong."

Bai Masong shook his head.

"I just checked, and there are no signs of damage or repair on the lock."

"Besides, even if we do this, the short time we have here is not enough to glue it all together."
