Chapter 1154 The Mystery of Red Cliff



"Haha... Because Master once told me a similar code."

Conan scratched his head embarrassedly, seeming a little shy, but he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.

These two criminals were quite perceptive and hadn't had much contact with him, so they were always surprised by his performance.

If Tang Ze hadn't reminded him and acted as a shield for him, he would probably have attracted the attention of the two.

If Xiaolan also starts to doubt herself, it will be troublesome.

Tang Ze, who was standing by, watched Conan go from being reluctant to call out "Master" to opening his mouth and calling out the word "Master" very fluently, and he didn't say much.

After all, he is my own "son", so it doesn't matter if he is ignorant. It is the master's responsibility.

Conan seemed to feel the loving gaze of Tang Ze behind him, and he couldn't help but shiver with disgust.

"Actually, it's not just the rooms; those six people seem to use colors to distinguish other things as well."

After Uehara Yui finished praising Conan, Yamato Gansuke, who was halfway up the stairs, took out a piece of paper and added: "This is the cooking duty list I found in the warehouse. Their names are not written on it, but their own colors.

I guess they probably refer to each other by colors in real life as well.”

"Is the room where the body was found upstairs?" Tang Ze asked after seeing Yamato Gansuke go upstairs.

"That's right, come up." Yamato Gansuke saw everyone going upstairs and walked towards the corridor.

"Why are there so many cardboard boxes on the cart at the corner?" Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask as he saw Yamato Gansuke passing through the cardboard boxes and guardrails.

"It's filled with books, and they're quite heavy."

Yamato Gansuke explained, "As for why it wasn't moved, it's because the door of this room that opens outwards is blocked by this cart.

So that the people in the room will never be able to leave the room until they die."

"Does that mean that's part of the killing mechanism?" Tang Ze turned sideways and passed the corner.

"Yes, when we arrived here, the victim had starved to the point of being skin and bones, and was already dead."

Yamato Gansuke said as he held the door handle with a handkerchief and opened the door to the room.

"It's in this room."

Yamato Gansuke opened the door, revealing a wall that was almost entirely painted red. "The deceased was starved to death in this horrifying room."

"Hey, could this be..." Kogoro Mouri said in horror as he looked at the wall covered in red.

"Is it human blood!?" Xiaolan stood behind Kogoro Mouri in horror, not daring to look inside the room.

"Don't worry, it's just spray paint."

Tang Ze walked into the room and squatted to examine a can of red spray paint on the ground. "The color of the bottle mouth and nozzle is the same as the color on the wall. If nothing unexpected happens, this wall was made with this spray paint."

"But what's going on."

After hearing what Karasawa said, Maori Kogoro calmed down from his shock and looked towards the center of the room: "Why are there a pair of black and white chairs placed here?"

Tang Ze also saw the pair of chairs placed in the middle of the room, the white side of the chair facing the red wall, while the black chair faced the other white wall.

Apart from this, the room was empty, with only a paint table and several canvases in the corner to the right of the door.

The only window in the room was a small "田"-shaped window, and it was obvious that no one could escape from it.

This is the entire view of the room. There is nothing else in the room.

"It looked like the color was deliberately painted, and the chairs were nailed to the floor."

After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Tang Ze looked under the chair and said.

"In fact, the deceased was sitting on this white chair." Uehara Yui said, "In other words, the body was facing this red wall when it died."

"Could it be that this is some kind of message the murderer is conveying to someone?" Xiaolan, who was standing by, couldn't help but speculate when she heard this.

"No, that shouldn't be the case." Yamato Gansuke shook his head: "Because this room has always been secretly bugged."

"I see. If the criminal was eavesdropping on the room and judging by the sound whether the victim was dead, then when the room was silent, the criminal should have recovered it."

Maori Kogoro stroked his chin and pondered, "And the bug is still here, which means..."

"That's right."

Yamato Gansuke nodded and said, “After the criminal locked the victim in this room, he never came back.

In other words, the red cliff and the black and white chair are undoubtedly the death message left by the deceased! "

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the blood-red wall that covered the entire wall and made people feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the people leaning against the wall in deep thought, Yamato Gansuke looked at Tang Ze and the other two: "Well, have you figured it out?"

"this…"

Maori Kogoro pondered and said, "If we interpret this message intuitively, the wall is red, and among them, only the man named Akashi represents red."

"But unfortunately, the man who died in this room was this man named Akashi Shusaku!"

Yamato Gansuke's words shocked everyone present, and he continued, "By the way, Miss Kobashi Aoi, who later married this Akashi Shusaku, also died in this warehouse three years ago."
