Chapter 36 Chapter Eleven

Kono seemed to be very interested in what I said, especially when he heard the part about the peeping mirror, he was even more excited. "Where is the mirror you mentioned?" He asked directly.So I took off my summer coat and showed him my mechanism. "Oh, that's how it is, that's how it is, it's really an ingenious structure." He showed a look of admiration, and stepped forward to watch it. "Indeed, you can see the scene in the locker room here. As you said just now, if what you see is a hallucination, the image is too real. But that woman (should be a woman) was at least seriously injured, if No one has discovered it until now, and it’s too wrong.”

He thought for a while, and then said: "No, it's not impossible at all. Assuming the victim was only injured, such a peaceful result is really incomprehensible, but if the woman is dead, the murderer only needs to hide the body and wipe off the blood." "However, it was ten thirty-five when I saw it, and then I went to the bathing place to check, and the difference was only five or six minutes at most. Is it possible to hide the body and wash the blood in such a short time?" "It depends on the situation, and it's not completely impossible," Kono said meaningfully, "For example... no, leave the guesswork for later, let's investigate the bathing place again."

"But," I insisted, "is there no one missing? In that case, it would be unreasonable to assume that the woman in the mirror is dead." "It's hard to say. Last night there were many guests who didn't stay overnight, and the scene was quite chaotic. It can't be guaranteed that no one is missing. In addition, this only happened last night. Maybe the missing person's home hasn't found anything wrong yet. .” So, we decided to go to the baths first.I don't think it's necessary to check it again, but Kono's curiosity won't be satisfied without seeing it for himself.

After entering the locker room, we closed the entrance and exit doors and glanced at the spacious and almost luxurious hotel bath room and wooden floor.Kono's sharp eyes (sometimes his eyes are extremely sharp), looked around carefully and said: "It was cleaned early in the morning. Even if there is blood, it may have been wiped and it is difficult to identify at a glance." Then he seemed to find something, and said, "Huh? That's strange. This mat is not usually placed on the mirror It should be placed at the entrance of the bath.” He stretched out his feet while talking, and moved the wide palm mat to the correct position with the tip of his toes.

"Ah, this is..." He exclaimed, and I looked straight subconsciously, and suddenly found a black stain about two feet on the wooden floor covered by the mat.Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is a trace of blood after it has been wiped away.
