Chapter 354

Facing the rebuke of miss Sancun, housekeeper Huaqi bowed and apologized again and again, but miss Sancun shook the folding fan and said in an unreasonable arrangement: "Mrs. Huaqi, in fact, you should be very happy that the master is dead. He has made the old lady who has always loved you suffer so much. My life will be so short. It's all caused by the master."

Housekeeper hanazaki raised his head and loudly denied, "I never thought so!"

Seeing that Huaqi housekeeper was questioned, Aoye Liangyi quickly promised: "I can guarantee that Aunt Huaqi has been serving my father wholeheartedly."

Miss Sancun glanced sideways at them and guessed unkindly: "it's not the legend of you two using that demon that makes the master frightened all day?"

"Miss Sancun, what are you talking about?"

"Too much!"

Housekeeper hanazaki is even more aggrieved and runs downstairs crying. Kiyoshi Aono stares at Miss Kimura in displeasure and chases him to comfort housekeeper hanazaki.

Baiyan Zhenyu grabbed Conan, who was about to catch up with him, and whispered, "Conan, if my reasoning is correct, the murderer swam from under the corridor bridge to the tea room."

"What? Under the corridor bridge?!"

After Bai yanzhenyu's reminder, Conan immediately realized the concealment method used by the murderer, frowned and thought hard for a moment, then lay down on the balcony to observe for a while, and asked yacang shouxiong, "Uncle Yancang, is the waterwheel next to the lake used for decoration?"

Yancang shouxiong was stunned when he heard the speech. I don't know why Conan asked him this question, but he answered truthfully: "the water tanker can hit the lake into the garden garden. Now it has been designed to start with electricity. As soon as the timer time comes, it will turn automatically."

"Oh, that's right."

If Conan is aware, he looks at the rotating waterwheel and whispers to Bai yanzhenyu, asking Bai yanzhenyu to investigate something.

"I see." after hearing Conan's words, Bai yanzhenyu nodded and got up and came to the yard.

After arriving at the yard, Bai yanzhenyu, according to Conan's instructions, first went to the rotating waterwheel to check, then walked around the lake for a week, and finally returned to the second floor of the main house to tell Conan the detected situation.

"If so, it seems that the murderer is the man!"

Conan smiled and looked at a figure in the house. Then, when others didn't pay attention, he put down Maori xiaowulang with a needle and began the familiar generation playing reasoning link.

……

After completing the routine inquiry, police officer Henggou announced: "it's hard, everyone. I'll ask here. I think the master should have committed suicide. Next, please wait for the results of the appraisal..."

"No, no, no, officer Henggou, do you really want the murderer to leave the scene in front of you?"

"Maori xiaowulang" interrupted the development of Henggou police officer and said with great certainty: "the master didn't commit suicide at all, but was killed by someone. The murderer of the master is among us."

"Oh? Have you entered the 'sleeping little Wulang' state again? That's great."

Looking at Maori xiaowulang with his head down, officer Henggou was greatly surprised and urged: "Mr. Maori, don't betray us. You'd better tell us the truth of this case."

Miss Sancun opened the folding fan and said with great interest, "it's really good to have a famous detective here. I'd like to listen to your reasoning."

"Maori xiaowulang" ignored miss Sancun and said straight to the point, "well, I'll simply explain the case first. When the water in the lake turns red, in fact, this crime has already occurred in a place you can't see."

"How could it?" officer Henggou's eyes flashed a confused light and asked, "didn't you say that everyone was in this room when you found the master's body? I should remember correctly."

"Yes, although the murderer is in this room, he can still hang the master on the cantilever of the tea ceremony room, and he can do it with only one rope."

Maori Kogoro admitted that everyone was in the main room at the time of the crime. Then, in the eyes of police officer Henggou and others, he said the murderer's modus operandi.

"First of all, the murderer deliberately imitated the magic legend that had enveloped the lake for many years, let the master's blood drop on the corridor of the tea ceremony room, and then strangle his neck with a rope behind him."

"Secondly, he hung the rope hidden in the tea ceremony room on the beam, tied a special knot that can be untied as long as one end of the rope can be pulled, and then wound one end of the rope around the master's neck, and the other end bypassed the pillar of the beam and connected to the outside from the paper window."

"Then, connect the rope that has been tied to the wheel axle of the water truck with a rope in advance and one end is tied to the water pillar in the tea ceremony room with the rope pulled out from the room. In this way, the time difference of the crime can be successfully created."

"Finally, on the latch on the west side of the tea ceremony room, he made a spring with a pushpin and a rubber band, pulled it back, tied the braking wood block with a painting shaft, and butted the air vent of the room with the painting shaft, so as to create a closed secret room. At this time, he left the scene and returned to the current room to create an alibi."

While Conan was reasoning, Bai yanzhenyu also used professional painting skills to draw a concise schematic diagram according to his previous instructions, so that others can better understand the techniques used by prisoners.

"When the lake water turns red at four o'clock, the waterwheel set by the timer starts to rotate at the same time, so the rope shortens with the rolling of the shaft wheel, automatically pulls the body into the tea room, and the painting shaft on the vent is knocked down by the body. When the door panel is completely stuck to the bottom, it is automatically locked from the inside."

"After hanging the corpse on the beam, this rope naturally formed a locked knot. The length of the rope was calculated in advance by the murderer, and the cut was broken with a knife. The rest of the rope was naturally rolled out under the rotation of the waterwheel."

"After the crime, just pretend to remove the door panel of the small pavilion and secretly remove the pushpin and rubber band when we are in a hurry when we find the body."

"When the waterwheel starts to rotate, the sunset will produce diffuse reflection on the water surface. Naturally, the rope is not easy to be found. The murderer made use of this feature to perfectly commit the whole crime."

"I see. It's really possible to commit a crime."

After listening to Maori Kogoro's story, police officer Henggou clenched his right hand and hit his left palm. With a suddenly enlightened look, he looked sharply at Aoye's four people, ready to find out the real murderer who killed master Aoye.
