Chapter 117 Disappearing Corpse (5)

I have to say that the technique of this secret room is quite simple, and it can be completed with just one thread.

But I just answered the mystery of the secret room and it seemed useless.

Officer Meguri stretched his frown before he could finish, "Brother Maori, what about the corpse? Even if you explained the secret room, the corpse cannot be hidden!" he said.

"Indeed, the handling of corpses is a big problem." Maori also admitted, "After all, a person of such a big one cannot hide in full view of everyone, so"

Everyone subconsciously held their breath.

"So, there is only one explanation, that is, the body, from the beginning, was not in this room!"

"ah?"

At this moment, the players couldn't understand it anymore and thought, is the sleeping Kogoro's ability to reason sharply decline because he did not stand behind Conan?

Officer Memu was also very puzzled, "Well, you made some mistakes? The body was hanging in this room at that time, and even your daughter Xiaolan saw it."

"They did see it, but what they saw was misled by the murderer!" Maori said.

“Misleading?”

Everyone seemed to be in deep thought because of this word.

Mr. Maori didn't keep it a secret, and he shouted directly, "Xiaolan!"

"I'm here!" Xiaolan stood out of the crowd.

"Please repeat the situation when you saw the body!" Maori said again.

Xiaolan recalled a little, "At that time, there were 6 people in the back of the hotel. After raising our heads, we saw the body hanging on the beam of the room. Then, everyone quickly ran to the main entrance of the hotel."

"No!" Maori interrupted Xiaolan's retelling. "There is no details in your retelling."

"detail?"

"Well, the details, you just said, you saw the corpse, but have you really seen the corpse?"

"This" Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, and then immediately shook her head. "No, I didn't see it. At that time, we just saw the shadow of the corpse. Because the corpse was blocked by the curtains, we just saw a black outline."

"I understand!" When Memu heard this, he immediately reflected "Brother Maori, do you mean that the murderer just created a fake model, or that shadow is actually himself! When someone discovered him, he quickly left the room and disguised it as a secret room?"

"Of course not." Before Megu finished speaking, Maori directly denied his speculation. "Not to say whether the behavior of 'disguised as a dead person hanging in front of the window' is feasible, just in terms of time, it is difficult to complete. Because Xiaolan and the others ran very fast at that time, it only took about one minute. In such a short time, it was difficult for the murderer to complete the secret room. The most important thing is that the murderer had no reason to create the illusion that the corpse was hung up."

"Well, that's right." Memu pondered, "The murderer had no reason to take such a big risk, and deliberately let people see the hanging corpse, so what exactly do you mean by the illusion?"

Megu asked a little anxiously.

"Illusion, the illusion is actually very simple. That is the room that Xiaolan and the others saw was not the room we are currently in!"

"What?!"

This time, another amazing effect was made.

Maori ignored everyone's shock "Xiaolan!" he shouted again.

"Um!"

"Why were you sure at that time? The room you saw was the current room? Logically speaking, you should only be able to confirm the floor at such a long distance on the eighth floor. It is very difficult to confirm which room it is on the eighth floor!"

"We" Xiaolan tried hard to recall "Oh, by the way, we saw the red curtains!"

“Red curtains?”

"Yes! We met this gentleman downstairs." Xiaolan pointed at who she loved. "At that time, he and his girlfriend lived on the eighth floor in this hotel, and the room they stayed in was a suite that only couples would choose, which is this room!"

When Megu heard this, he also took over the topic, "Yes, in ordinary hotels, in order to decorate the romantic atmosphere between couples, most couples use red curtains in their rooms." Megu said, pointing to the red curtains in the room.

"Yeah." Maori pondered for a moment, "What about the room next door?"

"Next door? Next door is just an ordinary guest room!" Xiaolan said.

At this moment, a waiter next to him also answered, "Yes, there is only this couple's room on this floor."

"Well" Maori pondered for a moment, "Yes, this is what I said misleading! In fact, you thought that the place where the corpse was hung was this couple's room because you saw the red curtains.

However, in fact, the one that actually hangs the body is the room next door!"

"Ah? That's not true." Megu said, "There is an ordinary room next door. Where can I get red curtains? Even if I get red curtains, it will be removed and unloaded, and there is not enough time at all!"

"Enough!" Maori said, "because the murderer didn't need to care about the curtains at all. He just had to turn the light into red! Conan!"

Maori shouted suddenly.

Just finished speaking

"I'm here!" Conan suddenly came out of nowhere, and in his hand, he was holding a circle of red paper.

"What is this?" Xiaolan couldn't help but ask.

"This is what Uncle Maori asked me to ask the waiter sister just now." Conan said angrily, and then handed the paper in his hand to Xiaolan.

Xiaolan unfolded the paper and found that it was a piece of red rice paper.

This kind of paper is similar to the one used to write couplets during the Chinese New Year, but it is thinner.

"Oh, this is what we usually use to pack keys." said the waiter next to him.

At this time, everyone also remembered that when they took the door keys, the keys were wrapped in this kind of paper, with the door number written on it. I also said before that the hotel keys were made with very famous locksmiths, so they definitely could not just engrave numbers on them. They made an exquisite small envelope with paper, which was convenient and beautiful, and also reflected respect for guests.

"Now cover this piece of paper on the lamp."

Maori said.

Xiaolan didn't hesitate much, so she brought a chair and pasted the paper on the lamp!
