Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 316 Double secret room and no martial arts

When three high school student detectives ran into the mansion one after another.

Behind the window on the third floor, a pair of eyes were hiding in the darkness, gloomyly looking down downstairs.

This is a suite consisting of two rooms inside and outside.The outer room was very dark, and there was a bloodstain on the ground caused by dragging the corpse. The bloodstain extended from the center of the room to the door of the inner room, and the inner room was lit with lights.

In this environment, people who come in from the door will immediately notice the bloodstains on the ground, and then follow the bloodstains and rush into the inner room with the lights on instead of searching outside.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum was hiding behind the curtain in the outer room at this time.

After he smashed the window, he waited for the guests or servants to run upstairs, discover and break into the secret room, and glanced at the inner room with a hint of resentment.

The body of the butler Shigematsu was lying there.

……

The love between the two generations of the Senyuan family is quite amazing.

Nearly 30 years ago, Steward Shigematsu's sweetheart came to visit him at Mori's house. At that time, Mr. Mori thought that the woman was here to visit him, so he happily proposed to her.Not long after, the two got together smoothly, and Steward Shigesong could only silently wish them a happy marriage for a hundred years.

But now, in this generation, what happened back then has happened again—Katagiri Kaede came to visit the adopted son of Butler Shigematsu, Yuji Sakuraba. thing.

The Moriyuan family quickly decided on the marriage of Moriyuan Juren and Kaedong Feng.Later, Steward Shigematsu realized that he had made a mistake.He didn't want the tragedy of the previous generation to repeat itself on his adopted son, so he decided to prevent the two from getting married.

I don't know whether it was due to guilty conscience or other reasons, but the housekeeper did not confess all this to Master Senyuan, but chose to start with Senyuan Chrysanthemum.

He asked Senyuan Juren to cancel the engagement, and threatened that if the other party did not do so, he would tell Master Senyuan about the illegal activities of Senyuan Juren Company.

From Senyuan Juren's point of view, it turned out that Housekeeper Shigematsu proposed a marriage for him, and then suddenly threatened him to cancel the engagement with the company's affairs, looking for trouble for nothing, with evil intentions.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum thought of the unrevealable secrets held by the housekeeper, and felt that if he did this time, he would definitely be threatened more in the future.So he decided to strike first, kill the butler who threatened him, and then put the blame on the adopted son of the housekeeper Shigesong, so that no one would be able to stop him.

After making up his mind, Senyuan Chrysanthemum drilled holes in the glass, got fishing tape, and designed a gaudy secret room to prepare for the blame.

After he finished killing people, he threw away the murder weapon, locked the doors and windows, arranged bloodstains on the ground and lights in the inner room, and planned to sneak in among them when others broke into the secret room and rushed to the inner room.

……

Just as he was thinking, there was a violent knock on the door and voices of questions.

Chrysanthemum Morionon, who was hiding behind the curtain, listened carefully and recognized Hattori Heiji's voice.

The Osaka detective who had just been a guest at his home in the evening knocked on the door and asked sharply, "Who's in there? What happened just now?!"

Immediately afterwards, the door lock was clicked and twisted by another person.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum heard an unfamiliar voice coming through the door: "It's locked."

Yuan Shan and Ye Zezheng led a few servants to run closer along the corridor, their voices were a little flustered: "I didn't find Uncle Zhongsong! Everyone said that they haven't seen him since just now."

——This room is not a bedroom, nor is it a specific study of a certain person, so only the butler Shigesong has the key here.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum hid behind the curtain. Hearing this sentence, he thought of the corpse of the butler Shigematsu in the inner room and the key in the arms of the corpse, and nodded secretly - in this way, the secret room was completely formed.

The group of people outside the door got no response and rushed to open the door anxiously.

Almost at the same time, Senyuan Chrysanthemum heard Yuan Shan and Ye's scream after being frightened by the blood on the ground.

He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he hadn't expected it—the eyes of the group of people who broke into the door must have focused on the blood on the ground.

After that, these people will follow the bloodstains to the inner room.When they were startled by the corpse and had no time to pay attention to the side, it was the time for him to appear on the stage quietly... Thinking of this, Senyuan Chrysanthemum twitched a sneer of planning.

However, the smile hadn't fully formed yet, and he heard that strange voice again who didn't know who it belonged to.

The person suddenly said: "Wait, there is something wrong with the shape here."

Senyuan Chrysanthemum stared at the curtain in front of her, her whole body stiffened.

"Where?" Hattori Heiji was walking quickly towards the inner room, but after the strange voice sounded, Morien Chrysanthemum stopped when he heard Hattori's footsteps.

stopped outside.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum held her breath, and cold sweat gradually appeared on her forehead: Don't stop!Continue to the inner room!
However, things backfired.In the next second, he heard Hattori Heiji's voice suddenly becoming vigilant: "...Indeed."

Outside the curtain, footsteps sounded again.

But unlike Senyuan Chrysanthemum's expectations, the footsteps did not follow the bloodstains and walked towards the interior, but came straight to him, and the voice got closer and closer...

"..."

...Go away!do not come!
brush-

Ignoring his prayers, the curtain was pulled open, and a light appeared in front of Senyuan Juren. The light was not bright, but his body felt like being struck by lightning at this time.

In the slightly distorted expression of Morien Kikuto, Hattori Heiji looked at him in surprise: "It's you? What's the matter with the blood in the room?"

Jiang Xia walked around the room, communicated briefly with Mao Lilan downstairs, and then walked out from the inner room with a calm expression: "The windows are locked, and the key is on the butler Chongsong. This is a secret room."

Although it had been expected for a long time, after this fact was clearly pointed out, the eyes of everyone in the room looking at Moriyuan Kikuto changed completely.

A secret room filled with two people, one is dead, the other is alive and deliberately hiding... What happened here just now, anyone can imagine.

Senyuan Chrysanthemum stared at the person who came out of nowhere and disrupted his entire plan with a few words, and felt a burst of anger straight into Tianlinggai——

You talk too much! ! !

He violently pushed the person in front of him away, subconsciously wanting to run.

However, just as he took a step, he was grabbed by Jiang Xia.Hattori Heiji shot almost at the same time, grabbing the other arm of Morizono Kikuto, and with a little effort, the two of them pushed the absent-minded young master back against the wall.

There was a lot of commotion here just now with broken windows and slammed into the door.

Senyuan Juren struggled, he watched more and more people gathered at the door, and finally his eyes went dark, and he knelt down on the ground.

"...It's all Shigematsu's fault! He forced me!" Senyuan Juren didn't want to speak at first, but under the stares of a group of people, he still couldn't overcome the criminal instinct and said angrily, "If he didn't threaten me Cancel the engagement, how could I kill him!"
