I have found out your real name

Chapter 30 Fictional Reasoning

"Oh? Young people seem to be quite prejudiced against me."

[Martial Arts Master] smiled nonchalantly like an ordinary kind old man: "Why do you say such things all of a sudden?"

"Before answering this question, would you mind if I asked about the location of the room where the old man lives?"

Li Wu asked back.

"Wait a minute, who are you? Why did you suddenly interrupt my reasoning?"

The detective puffed out his cheeks in disapproval, but there was no deterrent.

"I'm just an ordinary resident, but I think everyone here should have the right to speak, right? Is this the famous detective lady?"

It seemed that the flattery of the "famous detective" was just right. The detective lady snorted: "Then let's listen to what you have to say first."

[Martial Arts Master] cooperated and told the room where he stayed: "This hotel doesn't have such a thing as a room number... To describe it more easily, my room should be at the far right end of the second floor near the courtyard. In other words , right above Mr. Nagai’s room.”

"I see, then the mystery is solved."

How to compile it next.

Although Li Wu showed an inscrutable expression, of course he actually didn't know why [Martial Arts Master] was the murderer.

It was purely based on the text.

"Hey, are you okay, classmate Li Wu?"

Hoshikawa Aoi whispered in his ear, her breath tickling him.

"Don't worry, don't interrupt my train of thought."

Li Wu also answered in a low voice, and then looked at the detective: "The detective just said that the door lock of the deceased's room showed no signs of damage from the outside, and the windows were also locked."

"Based on the testimony of the landlady, the door was properly closed before she arrived, so someone did not break in and kill Mr. Nagai."

"You want to say this is a secret room murder case?"

The detective girl said casually.

"No, I think the murderer disguised himself as a secret room after killing Mr. Nagai, and only you, old man, have the conditions to do such a thing."

"Oh? I didn't know I could do such a thing."

[Martial Arts Master] rubbed his hands and denied.

Li Wu continued: "I wonder if you still remember the situation in the room? Although I didn't observe it carefully, I probably remember that the victim's body was lying flat in the center of the room, his head was hit, and blood was splashed on the window. on the walls and on the floor.”

[Superpower Detective] folded his hands and said: "Furthermore, no bruises were found on the hands, the nails were clean and tidy, and there were no foreign objects left. It can be inferred that the deceased was killed without a struggle. In addition, there were a few bamboo leaves on the bottom of the victim's slippers. Remains, may have walked in this courtyard.”

She obviously didn't stay in the room for long, but she observed so carefully. No, should it be said that this was really the result of observation?

"In the face of a murder, do you still have the heart to observe the corpse? I was so scared that I wanted to hide in my dear's arms."

[Puppet Master] hugged the man's arm in an artificial way.

Li Wu ignored her and continued: "There are two problems here. First, if Mr. Nagai was attacked from the front by the murderer with some kind of heavy object in the room, and his head was raised, the blood stains would really show up. Is that what we saw?”

"The famous detective lady used the word 'well-dressed' when describing Mr. Nagai's clothes - if he was hit in the front, there would at least be blood stains on his clothes, right? And according to common sense, blood should accumulate in the damage. It's only right underneath the person, is it really possible for it to splash onto the opposite wall?"

"You mean Mr. Nagai's body...has the body been moved?"

[Office worker] spoke with trepidation.

"That's what I speculated. There's a second question. It's spring in April now. What's more, Miss Detective said that Mr. Nagai once walked here. In this case, he would really lock up and face the courtyard. windows and shut yourself in the room?"

"Hmm, Li Wu wants to say that the prisoner invaded the room through the open window, killed Mr. Nagai, then locked the window, walked out through the door and then closed the door to create the scene we saw?"

Very good, Hoshikawa-san, keep it up.

Although they are all nonsense, if someone harmonizes with them, their credibility will increase.

Li Wu raised his finger and shook it: "It's roughly correct, but I think there's something wrong with the order."

He pointed to the lower edge of the window in the room and said: "If the prisoner climbed into the room through the window, it would be impossible for Mr. Nagai not to resist. Regardless of whether there would be a big fuss, at least as the detective lady said, his hands would not be left behind. Any traces of it.”

"And there is no room for an adult to hide under the window here, so it is impossible for the prisoner to carry out a sneak attack from Mr. Nagai's blind spot."

"When you say the order is wrong, you mean that the murderer killed the victim first and then entered the room?"

The detective girl concluded.

"That's right! And back to the topic, I think the only one who can do this is you, old man!"

Li Wu said categorically: "At that time, Mr. Nagai was probably enjoying the view of the courtyard by the window. As I said before, I think he had the window open, but even if he didn't, it doesn't matter. If you live in the room directly above, you can use a rope Tie something down and tap on Mr. Nagai’s window to attract attention.”

"Naturally, the victim's first reaction is to poke his head out of the window to see who is playing pranks on him. At this time, old man, you can take out the heavy object that has been prepared and tied with a rope - cement. Something like a brick will do - then throw it down.

"Poor Mr. Nagai was killed on the spot with the help of gravity, so there are blood stains on the side near the window. Then, you can pull back the murder weapon, hide it, go to the courtyard, and dig into Mr. Nagai's room, drag the body away from the window, and then lock the window from the inside to make it look like a secret room."

Not to say that this reasoning is impeccable, at least it is at the level of pure nonsense, full of loopholes and strong arguments.

However, Li Wu fiddled with the answer and followed the fictitious reasoning made by the real murderer, which gave him sufficient confidence.

And persuading others sometimes really doesn't have much to do with logic.

So after he said so many words with great momentum, everyone...mainly referring to the [office workers] and the magical girl next to him, really started to stare at the [Martial Arts Master] with suspicion.

"Wait a minute, do you think I haven't seen Tomb Raider?"

[Superpower Detective] complained.

Li Wu's expression remained unchanged: "I see, it seems that you learned the criminal techniques from mystery novels, old man."

The old man who was accused of being the murderer chuckled: "But regardless of whether the method you mentioned is reasonable or not, what is the motive? I didn't know Mr. Nagai before, why should I kill him?"
