I have found out your real name

Chapter 29 is neither a secret room nor a murder case

Because the woman who screamed in the first place said that she could no longer bear to be here, and to protect the scene before the police arrived, everyone was temporarily moved to the courtyard behind the hotel.

Here, it is shaded by bamboo groves, with cobblestone paths and a clear pond. A corridor leads through the courtyard to the hot spring.

Through the bamboo forest, you can see layers of mountains, looking down at the tiny crowd like black giants.

There were only eight people present, including the proprietress.

The seven residents are Li Wu and Aoi Hoshikawa, a couple cuddling together, a screaming woman, an old man wearing rustic sportswear and canvas shoes, and a girl who claims to be an official.

"It feels like the beginning of a mystery novel."

Hoshikawa Aoi whispered from the side.

Mystery novel? It seems to have that kind of atmosphere - a rural hot spring hotel, a mysterious proprietress, a strange murder case, residents gathered together, a detective-like figure who wants to dominate the situation, and two people who accidentally wandered into it...

But it would be a big mistake to really think so!

Although Li Wu maintained a calm expression on his face, his heart was in turmoil, and he was full of regrets.

All this is because he saw the words on the heads of everyone present.

The mysterious landlady is actually a monster. The prefix of "detective" is "superpower". The woman of the couple has "Puppet Master" written on her head, and the man has "Puppet Master" written on his head. The old man with a harmless face has "Martial Arts Master" on his head. ], and Li Wu and Hoshikawa Aoi, who theoretically played the roles of being involved, were originally intended to fight against the Tengu...

As for the most ordinary-looking woman - she is indeed an ordinary person, with [Office Worker] written just above her head.

It can be called a chaotic scene, with supernatural factors, martial arts masters, and monsters. This must have rubbed the rules of the Ten Commandments of mystery novels on the ground.

How did these people get together?

The most important thing is that if this is the unfolding of a mystery novel, the mystery will have been revealed at the beginning.

Li Wu had clearly seen that someone's name was followed by a suffix:

(murderer).

For fear that he could not see clearly, the font was made bold.

"Aren't the police here yet? How long do we have to stay here?"

The man with [Doll] on his head asked, with a vivid expression of anxiety, anger, and fear on his face.

But judging from the meaning of the words, I am afraid that the woman who is really manipulating his questioning is the woman who is the [Puppet Master].

"The place here is relatively remote. It may take some time for the police to arrive. Guests, please wait quietly for a while. Our hotel will refund the full cost of tonight's accommodation as a small compensation."

The landlady still said calmly.

"Why can you still act as if nothing has happened?! Is this the person you killed? Now, let's arrest her first!"

The [office worker] woman roared angrily. She seemed to be still immersed in the fear of seeing the corpse. At this moment, she was accusing the boss's wife in a trembling tone.

"Guests are asked not to make baseless accusations."

"What are groundless accusations? Then tell me what you were doing in the room where that happened?"

It seemed that she was stimulated by the calm attitude of the landlady, and her mood became even higher.

"That's right, we don't want to doubt you, boss, but after all, everyone saw you standing next to the victim..."

The [Puppet Master] added with a smile.

[Snow Girl] nodded and said: "Okay, because Mr. Nagai said he wanted to take a nap this afternoon, please let me remind him during dinner. I just did what the guest asked."

The deceased's last name appears to be Nagai.

Seeing that the [office worker] was still about to have an attack, the old man from the [Martial Arts Master] came out to smooth things over and said: "Okay, okay, I don't think the boss's wife is the murderer. What about the little girl who took out the very powerful-looking certificate? Do you have something to say if you don’t let us go?”

Everyone’s eyes focused on the [Super Power Detective].

Li Wu also took this opportunity to look at this person who was suspected to be a member of the organization [Public Security Section [-]] that the magical girl said was against people with supernatural powers.

Her appearance is of the same type as Airisa's. They both look particularly petite. Her long brown hair is slightly curled up in waves, and she wears a maroon beret on her head.

From the moment she arrived in the courtyard, she had not spoken and just observed everyone silently.

But now that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she had to conclude early: "Everyone, I might as well talk about what I saw at the murder scene before."

"According to my observation, the deceased was a middle-aged man, about 185cm tall, with thick joints. He wore a diamond ring on the ring finger of his left hand. Judging from his appearance and his elegant clothes, he was married and in relatively good economic conditions."

She said a long paragraph in one breath, and then looked at [Snow Girl]: "In addition, the window in the room is closed. I checked the condition of the door buckle and found that it was not damaged. The door was open when the boss lady arrived at the scene. What does it look like?”

[Snow Girl]'s eyes flickered and she said softly: "No, I knocked on the door and found that Mr. Nagai had not responded, and then I took the key and opened the door."

"You have such a cold-blooded attitude when you open the door and see a dead person? Only a murderer can do that."

[Office worker] sneered and said sarcastically.

"But the victim's injuries... it's impossible to inflict them with bare hands."

[Martial Arts Master] said very confidently, "The boss lady has no room to carry a murder weapon, and more importantly, there is no blood on her body. If she had time to dispose of the murder weapon and change clothes, how could she return to the scene of the crime?" Did we bump into each other?"

"Not necessarily. If the boss lady had super powers or magic, she could blow someone's head off with bare hands without getting any blood."

[Superpower Detective] said it not as if he was joking.

She turned to the [office worker] and asked: "Sister, for what purpose did you go to Mr. Nagai's room? It is located at the deepest part of the first floor. I don't think you can wander there?"

The face of the woman being questioned changed and she said angrily: "Because he asked me to have dinner during the day... This is my privacy, I don't need to tell it."

Everyone else had expressions of understanding on their faces.

"Then others..."

Just when the detective wanted to continue asking, Li Wu raised his hand.

"Excuse me for a moment, but I know who the murderer is."

"Huh?!" Xingchuan Aoi next to her screamed.

Everyone on the field showed expressions of surprise or disdain, and Li Wu pointed at the [Martial Arts Master].

"It was this old man who killed him."
