Chapter 678 How the Secret Chamber was Completed Part 1

When Inspector Megure saw Yuya's unusual behavior, he immediately guessed something and called out tentatively, "Brother Kamiya?"

Yuya came back to his senses and smiled at Inspector Megure: "Why, Inspector Megure also noticed it?"

Inspector Megure nodded solemnly: "That's right..." I can see that you have figured out who the murderer is.

A trace of unwillingness flashed across Conan's face. As expected, Yuya had solved the case.

Damn it, how can he be so fast?

Maori Kogoro looked at the two men with a puzzled look on his face: "Inspector-sama, Yuya-kun, what did you see?"

Yuya looked over in confusion and asked in surprise, "Didn't Uncle Kogoro see that?"

Maori Kogoro:? ? ?

Inspector Megure pretended to cough and said with empty eyes: "Okay, brother Kamiya, don't keep me in suspense. Hurry up and start your reasoning."

"Reasoning?" Everyone showed surprised expressions, "What reasoning?"

"Yuya-kun, could it be that?" Hiroji Yagawa showed a shocked expression on his face.

As a staff member of Nichimi TV, Hiroji Yagawa naturally knew Yuya and was aware of his fame and that he was very good at solving cases.

Looking at him like this, could it be that he already knows who the murderer is?

Hiroji Yagawa couldn't help but take a breath. It was true that seeing is believing. The rumors outside might be a little too low-key.

Yuya smiled faintly, looked around at everyone in the room, and then said, "Yes, I have solved the method of the two locked rooms, and I know who the murderer is."

"Murderer?" Maori Kogoro snorted, "You don't mean to say that the murderer is Mr. Hirasaka? I already... um."

Yuya raised his hand to interrupt him, "I'm sorry Uncle Kogoro, but your reasoning is wrong."

Maori Kogoro's face changed, and he felt a little embarrassed: "My reasoning is wrong? Then tell me, who is the murderer? What's the matter with those two secret rooms?"

Yuya nodded slightly and looked at Chiba Kazunobu: "Officer Chiba, have you seen the email I sent you? How are the preparations going?"

Chiba Heshen was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll go check it right away!" Then he ran out.

"Officer Takagi, come here for a moment."

Takagi Wataru hurried over.

Yuya leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

Takagi Wataru showed a slightly puzzled expression, but nodded and left the room.

"Then everyone, please follow me to the meditation room, where I will unfold my reasoning."

Everyone followed Yuya to the meditation room. Yuya put one hand in his pocket and looked at everyone, saying: "Now, I will start to explain the truth of the case."

Everyone swallowed and looked at Yuya nervously.

Yuya said slowly: "Last night, we found Miss Akiko's body in the meditation room, and then we found Mr. Hirasaka's body in his room. The rope that strangled Miss Akiko and her cell phone fell next to Mr. Hirasaka's body."

"Based on this situation alone, it's easy to assume that Hirasaka-sensei killed Akiko-san and then committed suicide out of fear of the crime."

Inspector Megure interrupted, "Didn't he commit suicide?"

Yuya nodded: "That's right. In fact, the real order of events is like this."

"The murderer first went to Mr. Hirasaka's room and tricked him into drinking poisoned wine and dying under some pretext. Then he took the two keys and went to the meditation room and killed Ms. Akiko."

"Then, the murderer turned the meditation room into a secret room, returned to Hirasaka-sensei's room, threw the cell phone and rope into the room, and used this to pin the crime of murder on Hirasaka-sensei."

Inspector Megure hummed in a long tone and raised a question: "Brother Kamiya, do you have any basis for saying this?"

Yuya pulled out a piece of torn paper from his pocket and said, "This torn poster was found in the flowerpot outside of Hirasaka's room. This means that the murderer tore up the poster in the corridor and threw it into the room through the ventilation fan. The poster was not torn up in the room."

Yagawa Hiroshi asked in confusion: "Why did the murderer go to so much trouble?"

Inspector Megure was also puzzled: "I don't quite understand either."

Yuya said: "Because the murderer has reasons to do so, to cover up some traces."

Inspector Megure was stunned: "Traces? What traces?"

Yuya was about to say something, but suddenly stopped and looked out the door.

Chiba Kazunobu was seen holding a huge roll of white paper, while Takagi Shige and another police officer appeared at the door carrying a cabinet.

Inspector Megure asked in surprise: "What are you two doing? And what are you holding, Chiba?"

Takagi Shige scratched his head and said, "Ah, no, I was just following Yuya-kun's instructions..."

Chiba Kazunobu opened the paper in his arms, and everyone realized that it was a huge poster of Godzilla vs. Kamen Rider.

"I borrowed this from a friend who is a tokusatsu enthusiast."

The corner of Inspector Megure's mouth twitched slightly. This must be what Brother Kamiya meant. He couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to borrow this kind of thing?"

Yuya smiled slightly, "This is the key to the secret room technique."

"Huh? This poster?" Inspector Megure was stunned.

Others also showed surprised expressions.

Youye smiled and said, "No, to be precise, it is the same size as this poster. It was originally a poster of Miss Xiaohuang placed in this meditation room, but now it has turned into a pile of shredded paper."

He turned to Chiba Kazunobu and Takagi Wataru and said, "Then Officer Chiba, Officer Takagi, please do as I say."

"First, roll up the poster so it becomes a long, thin cylinder about two meters long."

Chiba Kazunobu carefully rolled up the poster. After all, it was borrowed and he would have to return it later.

"Next, insert the long tube into the room through the ventilator, insert the front end into the drawer, and then put the key into the cylinder..."

Everyone looked at Chiba and Shin's operation with curiosity. With a sound of objects sliding, the key slid into the drawer through the long tube.

"Next, use the front end of the long tube to move the book above the key over and cover it, push the drawer up, and use the front end to twist the lock..."

There was a "click" sound.

"In this way, the drawer is successfully locked."

Looking at this magical scene, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Next, the murderer only needs to tear up the poster and throw it into the room. In this way, the secret room in Mr. Hirasaka's room will be completed."

"The murderer then used Ms. Jingzi's phone to send the message to other people, and then threw the phone and the rope into the room, and then he escaped smoothly."

"So, that's how it is." Inspector Megure was shocked. Why didn't he think of such a method?
