The waiter sighed: "There are few people at night, and the guests coming and going are easy to remember. I don't remember the deceased lady who went out, so I thought she should still be in the hotel at that time.

"In addition, Lawyer Lin seemed to have something important to look for her, so I went to her room and rang the doorbell - twice."

"Twice?" Officer Henggou looked at the waiter and instinctively felt that she had become suspicious.

Fortunately, the answer hidden in his heart once again helped him avoid detours. The police officer did not doubt or examine it. He only asked and recorded efficiently in Conan's somewhat surprised gaze: "Why did you come twice? Did you find anything strange at that time?"

The waiter knew that the matter was important and recalled seriously: "When I came for the first time, no one answered the doorbell after I rang the doorbell, I went back to the front desk to tell the lawyer Lin that Miss Usui should have rested."

"But Lawyer Lin didn't give up. He said that maybe Miss Usui just didn't hear it in the bathroom, so he asked me to find her once."

The waiter shook his head helplessly: "Although it may be complained if you disturb the customer's rest late at night. But if the customer misses something big because he refuses the customer's friend's request, he will be complained to the end... So although I think it's not good, I still have to go upstairs and come to Usui's door again."

"But this time, just as I was about to ring the door, I suddenly found a sign hanging on the door, and there was a piece of paper on it, which read in a bit scribbled handwriting, 'Sorry, please tell him, I will pay'."

Henggou Police Department: "...pay?"

"Isn't this a murder case between colleagues? Why does it involve money?" He felt more and more confused as he heard it, and couldn't help but mutter, "Let's take a step back, even if there was some money between the deceased and the murderer, why did the murderer post such news on the door?"

This look of holding the answer but not knowing the process is in line with what an ordinary police department should look like.

Conan retracted his sight from the Henggou police department, and felt that the indescribable sense of incongruity just now seemed to have disappeared.

The fake kid looked at the waiter again: "Then have you told him?"

The waiter nodded: "It would be better not to disturb the customer, so after seeing the note, I immediately returned to the front desk and conveyed the news to Lawyer Lin."

The Henggou Police Department came to his senses and said curiously: "Then what did he say?"

Waiter: "Lawyer Lin seems to be confused like you just now. He doesn't know why the deceased lady mentioned paying. He said he came over and just wanted to discuss the meeting with Miss Usui. They made an appointment to meet at 2:00 in the afternoon the next day, but now he wants to change the time to 4:00."

Eiri touched her chin: "So that's it. It seems that the note in the trash can with 'ha''ya'''shi' and '2' means 'I'll meet Lawyer Lin at 2 pm tomorrow'... But what's going on with the note on the door?"

The Henggou Police Department was also confused, but fortunately he knew where the end was, so he quietly went in that direction: "But in this way, the time of death of the deceased can be clarified - the specific time when she was killed by the murderer should be when the waiter went upstairs to look for her.

"And the note on the door was posted by the murderer to disturb our investigation ideas, so no matter how strange the thing is written on it, it is normal."

Eiri Nino nodded and shook again: "If this is the case, the murderer's behavior will be too strange."

Officer Henggou was a little confused: "What's strange?"

Fei Yingri looked at this strange temperament, and sometimes she seemed very sharp, and sometimes she was a little stupid. She showed her patience to contact the client and said clearly:

"Jiangxia doesn't know lawyer Usui, and the child is not an impulsive person. Coupled with all the previous suspicions, in general, he is not the murderer of this case - this is the premise."

Of course, isn’t this nonsense? The Henggou police officer was about to nod, but suddenly woke up and quickly said with a straight face: “Is it still necessary to investigate.”

Eiri glanced at him and his voice was a little cold: "I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just explaining my point of view. You'll finish listening first."

She clearly spoke respectfully, but the Henggou police officer shivered quietly, and instinctively spoke as if he was scolded by his boss: "Okay!"

Without interference, Fei Yingri pushed the golden-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and continued slowly: "Jiang Xia is not the murderer, but she lives in a 'secret room' with the deceased. When we found her, Jiang Xia's cell phone was placed next to the door so that we could listen to the ringtone.

"All this shows that the real murderer who created this secret room intends to frame Jiang Xia."

"If this is the case, then he would have been so strange that he imitated Miss Usui's tone and posted notes on the door, knowing that the waiter might come back."

Hearing this, the police officer Henggou finally understood something: "The sticker is to pretend that Miss Usui was still alive at that time, but in fact, since he planned to frame everything to Jiang Xia, he did not need to hide the murder here at all. He just needed to slip away before the waiter left and the police arrived."

Eiri nodded, thinking that this police officer in Izu is not stupid enough, unlike the Tokyo police station who is not poking or moving:

"And it was getting late at that time. As long as you hang a sign of 'Do not disturb' on the door, the waiter would naturally think that the guest didn't want to open the door and would not immediately think that someone in the room was dead. The murderer still had enough time to commit the crime and finish the crime - so it was strange that why did the murderer put such a piece of paper at the door?"

"Yes, why?" Officer Henggou scratched his head with his pen holder, and suddenly a flash of inspiration:

"Maybe our starting point is wrong. This note was not written by the murderer, but was posted by the deceased himself! - She really had some kind of money transaction with Lawyer Lin and had a conflict. After that, the murderer came to the door, but she thought it was Lawyer Lin, so she opened the door with guilt and was suddenly killed!"
