"Hey, if it's ten centimeters, you should be able to reach it even if you stand on tiptoe, right?"
After hearing what Kazuha said, Kogoro Mouri, who was standing by, couldn't help but speak.
"So that's why Hattori and the others came to Tokyo," Karasawa said after hearing more detailed information. "After all, with such a serious problem, it's impossible to simply dismiss it as a suicide."
"I'm more inclined to believe that the chair was deliberately placed at the criminal's feet to mislead the search in order to create the illusion that Mr. Guanyue had committed suicide."
Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "And because Mr. Kanzuki's room was not locked at the time of the crime, it is basically certain that he was the one who committed the murder."
"Could it be that the serial killer named Hito Kiriya did it?" Xiaolan swallowed and guessed.
"No, Hitoto later showed up in Hiroshima and was arrested by the police." Tang Ze said with a smile: "His wanted warrant has been cancelled."
"And he's been staying in internet cafes and coffee shops for the past month," Detective Otaki added with a smile.
"But weren't you all lying in ambush outside?" Maori Kogoro asked puzzledly, "Even if the door to the room wasn't locked, how did the criminal get in and out?"
"It's because of these doubts that this kid came to Tokyo with Detective Otaki to solve the mystery of the locked room murder." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"Yeah, after all, it's 'live a hundred times'."
Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "And I have already obtained the consent of the deceased's family. I am now preparing to go to the apartment where the crime occurred to investigate."
"Then let's go without further ado." Tang Ze said with a smile, "I knew you were coming, so I specially drove a seven-seater car, which is just enough for us to sit down."
"Thank you for your concern." Hattori Heiji said with a smile.
"Nothing, come downstairs."
Tang Ze smiled and went downstairs first, and the others followed. Under the guidance of Detective Otaki, Tang Ze drove to the bottom of an apartment building.
This apartment doesn't look too tall, about seven or eight stories high. From the exterior decoration, you can tell it's a good apartment. The people who live here should be relatively well-off.
"By the way, the crime scene is still the same, right?" After getting on the elevator, Kogoro Mouri looked at Detective Otaki and asked.
"That's right." Otaki nodded and said, "Although the victim's daughter has already agreed to go to the house and take away all the belongings tomorrow."
"Time is not a problem."
Hattori Heiji smiled nonchalantly: "There are three of us here, so we can solve the secret room trick today."
As they were talking, the elevator was slowly rising, and Yuanshan and Ye looked at the window of the elevator door and said curiously: "Xiaolan, look, this elevator actually has windows!"
It's normal for Toyama and Ye to be curious, because this elevator is not completely enclosed like ordinary elevators. Each of the two doors has a rectangular window, with glass on the outside and wire mesh on the inside.
"It seems to be quite common recently." Xiaolan said with a smile as she looked at the scene outside the window.
"You two are so noisy!" Hattori Heiji heard the two people laughing and said angrily: "You should know that we are not here to play!"
"I know that."
After being criticized by Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha raised her chin in dissatisfaction and said proudly: "But there are also important tasks that only I, Toyama Kazuha, can accomplish!"
After hearing what Yuanshan Heye said, everyone present looked at each other unconsciously, wondering what she meant by the "important mission" she had vowed.
However, Toyama Kazuha had no intention of explaining. After the elevator reached the floor, she followed Hattori Heiji to the apartment where the crime occurred.
She led the way into the living room, stopped everyone, took out her cell phone, and lay on the floor to carefully examine the fallen chair.
"There's absolutely no mistake. This chair is exactly the same as the one I have at home, from the color of the wood to the design of the chair!"
After confirming this, Toyama Kazuha turned to look at Hattori Heiji: "As expected, this case is very strange, Heiji!"
"I've said this from the beginning." Hattori Heiji said with his arms folded and his eyes drooping.
"Mission accomplished~"
Toyama Kazuha on the side simply ignored Hattori Heiji's impatient words and saluted Xiaolan playfully.
Xiaolan also smiled and applauded him very enthusiastically. The two girls were very harmonious.
"It's okay if I don't have to come over here to check the chair height, right?"
Conan, watching the two of them enjoying themselves, couldn't help but blush and grumble in his heart: "After all, just measuring is enough..."
Instead, Tang Ze watched He Ye complete his work with a smile, without any intention of complaining.
After all, there is no need to guess what the girl is thinking. Confirming the chair is just an excuse. In fact, Toyama Kazuha came to Tokyo just to be with Hattori Heiji.
"By the way, what tricks did the criminal use to evade the police's surveillance?" Maori Kogoro looked around the room and said, "This looks like an ordinary room..."
"Could there be some secret passage that can be used to sneak into the room?" Detective Otaki looked around and couldn't help but speculate.
"It's unlikely. This is an ordinary apartment, and there's no room for a secret passage." Tang Ze checked his surroundings and then looked at the cord on the central air conditioner. "But this cord is hanging really high."
Having said that, Tang Ze looked at the ground again, and found some debris falling from the bottom of the rope.
