Arriving in Beika Town, Tokyo, where cases frequently occur, you can encounter a murder case just by walking a few steps.
Transform into light in the darkness, piercing through layers of fog....
Minamoto Shigeharu began to tell his story, telling everything he had done.
"This afternoon at 5:10, I sorted out the bills and planned to go downstairs to see what was going on inside the club."
"When I passed by Takizawa Akira's dressing room, I noticed that the door was not closed, so I wanted to go in and remind him."
"But when I opened the door, I found Takizawa Akira lying on the ground, his face was pale and he had no pulse."
Having said that, Minamoto Shigeharu raised his head and took a sip of rye whiskey, his expression becoming strange.
"I was so happy at the time. I thought he was dead."
"I stood up and wanted to go out to inform everyone. Just as I was about to push open the door, Takizawa Akira suddenly let out a wail and opened his eyes."
"He thought I was going to kill him, and immediately begged me to let him go."
"At the same time, he admitted that he was the one who did what happened three years ago."
Minamoto Shigeharu grasped his hair tightly with both hands, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
He said in a trembling voice:
"I don't know why, but when I saw him begging for mercy, the resentment that had disappeared surged up again..."
"Just like the little detective said, I took off my belt, strangled his neck, and slowly applied force...slowly applied force..."
"He started pounding the ground, and then he heard Fushan's voice outside the door, so he started knocking on the door, hoping that Fushan would save him."
"I...I...I just strangled him to death..."
Minamoto Shigeharu's expression was extremely painful, his eyes were wide open, and his entire temperament seemed to have changed drastically, becoming anxious and crazy.
"When I let go of his hand, Takizawa was no longer breathing or having a pulse..."
"I was very scared, so I ran out of the door and went back upstairs. I heard screams and wanted to turn myself in, but when I arrived at the scene, I found that Takizawa had been hung up..."
"I did kill him, but I didn't hang him up!"
Everyone looked at each other, full of confusion.
At this point, there was obviously no need for Minamoto Shigeharu to lie.
Who hung Takizawa's body?
The corpse certainly won't move on its own.
It must be someone...
Ishikawa Hide took a bottle of wine from behind the bar, sat next to Minamoto Shigeharu, and silently filled his glass.
"Genji, I didn't expect you still hold a grudge against him."
"This is all my fault. If only I had realized it earlier, I would have transferred you to the team."
The silent Minamoto Shigeharu raised his head suddenly: "No! Brother Ishikawa, you did nothing wrong!"
"It's me, I'm possessed by the devil...it's me...it's me who holds a grudge..."
"Three years ago, I was the top customer in the store."
"At that time, I was full of energy and looked down upon everyone."
"That's why I got stabbed."
"If you, Brother Ishikawa, hadn't recommended me to the team leader, I would have been living on the streets long ago!"
"I failed to live up to your expectations...I'm sorry..."
Megure Jusan turned around and asked, "Brother Kudo, who hung up Takizawa's body and created such a secret room?"
"Huh?"
"This... this... I..."
Kudo Shinichi was dumbfounded. All the cases he had solved had one thing in common: there was only one murderer.
This case may seem simple, but it is actually very complicated and involves more than one person.
According to his reasoning, these things could be done by one person, but in the end he found out that the confessed murderer did not do so at all.
There must be something wrong somewhere...
Where exactly is it?
"Brother Kudo, say something!"
Megure Jusan was also anxious.
This is Kudo Shinichi!
The son of that great writer!
If even he can't solve the case, who else can?
Is this going to be an unsolved case?
The atmosphere in the room became solemn again, and everyone felt a little panicked.
Could it be that the corpse locked the door and hanged itself?
If this is the reasoning, the secret room can be successfully formed...
but....
Is this really possible?
Scientifically speaking, this is obviously not feasible.
Unless there are ghosts.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and everyone got goose bumps and subconsciously touched their arms.
"Damn! Who left the door unlocked?"
A policeman was frightened and closed the door cursing, and the cold wind stopped instantly.
Although the wind stopped, Kudo Shinichi still felt cold all over.
His reasoning turned out to be wrong.
And it’s a serious loophole.
Mao Lilan walked up to him and said worriedly: "Shinichi...think about it again."
"I'm sure we can solve the case successfully."
But Megure Jusan can't wait any longer. They can't just keep wasting time like this!
He suddenly thought of Sakaki Makoto.
Maybe Sakaki Makoto can surprise him again?
"Brother Sakaki Makoto!"
Sakaki Makoto was holding a bottle of Jägermeister in his hand and was sniffing it with great interest.
"Is your conclusion the same as Kudo Shinichi's?"
Isn't it Brother Kudo?
Sakaki glanced at him in confusion.
This name has changed too quickly!
"Kudo's reasoning is brilliant."
He put the bottle down.
Megure Jusan was suddenly a little disappointed.
"but."
Sakaki Makoto's next words rekindled Megure Jusan's hope.
"Kudou's reasoning only revealed one suspect."
"But in this case, there are three murderers in total."
