When Yukawa called Fujimura, Fujimura was weeding around the house.Seeing the caller ID, he felt an ominous wind blowing through his heart. Yukawa asked him if he could come to him tonight. "But it's okay, what do you want to do?" "I have something I want you to see." "what?" "Didn't it say 'seeing is better than hearing a hundred times'? It's hard to explain clearly on the phone." "You want to whet my appetite? Why don't I go find you? That's okay, too?" "No, that's not necessary. I'll come to you, or it wouldn't make any sense."

"what happened?" "That's why we say 'seeing is better than hearing a hundred times'. I will arrive around seven o'clock. After the discussion, I will leave immediately, so you don't have to wait for me to eat. You don't need to pick me up. See you later." Just when Fujimura was about to say "wait", the other party had unilaterally hung up the phone. After answering Yukawa's call, Fujimura felt restless and just stared at the clock in the lounge.Originally, he planned to sort out the bills, but he really couldn't calm down. At five past seven, the sound of a car engine came from outside the house.Fujimura went out and saw a taxi parked outside the door, and Yu Chuan got out of the car wearing a coat.The taxi turned off the engine on the spot, and it seemed that Yu Chuan was going to let the taxi wait to take him back.

"I'm so sorry for the sudden interruption," Tang Chuan said. "I really don't understand what you're thinking." "Really? I thought you already had a rough idea in your mind." "What do you mean by that?" "Okay, let's talk in the house." Tang Chuan said and walked towards the entrance. Walking into the lounge, Fujimura went to make coffee. "Where's your wife?" Tang Chuan asked. "I went out, and I guess I won't be back before nine o'clock." In fact, Fujimura never told Jiu Renzi that Yukawa would come, but asked her to do something, and deliberately prevented Yuchuan from meeting her.

"Really—can I borrow your toilet?" "Please." Fujimura poured coffee into two cups and brought them to the table.Just then, his cell phone on the bar rang.Looking at the caller ID, the call was from Yu Chuan. "it's me." "I know it's you, what are you doing in the toilet?" "It's not the toilet. You can come to the same room as last time." "what?" "I'll wait for you." After speaking, Tang Chuan hung up the phone. Fujimura walked out of the lounge and walked along the corridor in confusion.He knocked on the door of the room at the end of the corridor, but there was no answer.He turned the doorknob and found that the door was unlocked, but it was chained from the inside.

There was a "click" in his heart: This situation is the same as that time! He called "Yu Chuan", but there was no response. Fujimura was startled, turned around and walked back to the entrance, picked up the flashlight and ran outside the house, quickly walked around to the back of the house. He shone the flashlight on the window, saw the crescent lock, and the window was 100 percent locked. "Is that the case at that time?" A voice came from behind him. Fujimura turned his head and saw Yu Chuan standing behind him with a calm smile. "How did you get out?"

"This method is actually very simple, but before explaining it to you, I want to hear your real thoughts." "You mean to say I lied to you?" "Maybe you're not lying, but you're keeping something from me, aren't you?" Fujimura shook his head: "I don't understand what you're talking about at all." Tang Chuan frowned in embarrassment, lowered his shoulders, sighed, and said, "No way, then let me explain my reasoning. If you have anything to refute, just wait until I finish speaking." I'll talk about it later."

"Okay, then you can tell." "First of all, I want to point out that your attitude is very unnatural from the beginning. You insist on saying that a room that is usually not regarded as a secret room is the possibility of a secret room, and you want me to start the reasoning. Indeed Well, human intuition is not to be underestimated, and it’s no wonder that you get chills when you come across a room that’s locked from the inside but doesn’t feel like you’re in it. But no one is bothered by it, not even Bring in an old friend to solve the problem. But you seem to be brooding. Why? I think this way: Do you have any conclusive evidence that the guest room was a secret room at that time? But you can't treat yourself like this Tell others what you think. Am I right?"

Unexpectedly, Yuchuan asked himself to answer coldly, Fujimura wanted to speak out, but coughed dryly first.His mouth felt thirsty as hell. "I do have something to say, but I'll talk about it later. You go ahead." Tang Chuan nodded, and said, "Then what is the basis for you to think that it is a secret room? With this question in mind, I decided to try to think about its technique first. But at this time, I ran into your amazing man again. Unbelievable behavior. While you said that you hoped that I could unravel the secret room modus operandi, you planned to hide the details of the case from me. At this moment, I suddenly realized that there was something hidden behind this case. I guess this is not a case A mere suicide or accident, but a murder, and you've been vaguely aware of it, but you can't tell the police about it. I've already figured out why, but I still don't want to be I said it out of my mouth."

"Since you've already talked about this, why are you being polite?" Fujimura said, "You want to say that it's because I don't want to point out my relatives as murderers, right?" "I think this is the safest answer." Tang Chuan continued, "Mr. Haraguchi was killed by Yusuke-kun, right?"
