"Well, it depends on how the rubber band is stretched!" Du Ruo immediately retorted, "As long as you use a jack to hold the door open, you can wear a kimono or anything else."

"If you put it this way, then everyone has this condition. All you need to do is operate the jack to open the gap big enough so that you can pass through it."

"Just say that the rubber band will be torn!"

"How do you know if it will be torn off if you don't try it? Anyway, no one knows the answer to this question. All the suspects may be able to wear it, or they may not be able to wear it."

"Then I might not be able to live with it? You actually want to say that I am the murderer?"

"The evidence that you are the murderer is in another place."

Kirikiri Kyoko stared straight at Du Ruo, with a strange purple light shining in her pupils under the night sky.

Du Ruo couldn't help but feel panicked when he was stared at.

"What, how could there be such evidence?"

"Then let me ask you, what were you doing in the backyard after three o'clock yesterday afternoon?"

"Back, backyard...? Why do you think I'm in the backyard? Don't talk nonsense!" Du Ruo was hysterical.

"No, this is not nonsense. I know that you were walking around in the backyard wearing the straw sandals of an armored warrior..."

Regarding Kirikiri's words, Du Ruo was immediately speechless as if his mouth was covered with tape.

"It turns out that the reason why the straw sandals got dirty... was because they were worn out by Miss Du Ruo?" Wuyue Yujie echoed, with a look on her face.

"What are you talking about? What happened to the straw sandals?"

"In order to be able to carry out the secret room murder, you need to set up a trap. In order to set up the trap, you need to go to the backyard, but you don't have shoes to go out. However, there is a reason that forces you to complete the preparations as soon as possible, so you have to put on

The straw sandals are out."

"Why is it so urgent?"

"It's snow. When the snow is still falling, even if you leave footprints in the backyard, they will be covered by snow. The secret room you created is based on this, so you must make preparations as soon as possible before the snow stops.

"

The incident occurred around 11 p.m. At that time, no one found any traces similar to footprints.

If it was true that Kyoko Kirigiri said that the murderer was preparing to set up the mechanism in the backyard, then the preparations should have been completed a few hours before the crime occurred.

It was snowing lightly yesterday, and even if it left some traces, it would be completely covered with snow in a few hours.

"You call Mr. Baizhou out and make him unconscious. Then he realizes that he goes out without shoes."

"Generally speaking, you have two choices at this time, either to go back to the entrance to get your shoes, or to put on your shoes at the entrance and go out from the gate to the backyard. But unfortunately, neither of these options is feasible.

Mr. Sugi is always near the entrance."

Sumu said in his testimony before that he has been appraising the ink paintings hanging on the walls from the entrance to the corridor.

"If he didn't do anything wrong, you could just walk past him and take your shoes back, but that's not the case."

"If Sugi becomes suspicious of you and asks you where you are going with your shoes, then your murder plan may be ruined. You have no choice but to wait for Mr. Sumu to leave because you are afraid that the snow will stop.

This kind of worry makes you anxious."
