Villa area in the suburbs of Beijing.

Enomoto noticed the anti-theft camera at the gate as soon as he got out of the car.

"It is said that the camera broke down last month and has not been repaired, so there is no video of the day when the incident occurred."

Junko noticed Enomoto's gaze and quickly explained.

Ashida Saori and Akagi Deacon came out from the villa at this moment.

"Sorry to bother you again. We need to check the crime scene further."

"Lawyer Qingtou is talking about this, I entrusted lawyer Qingtou, so I should try my best to help you. But, who is this?" Ashida Saori noticed Enomoto beside him, and couldn't help asking.

"He is an expert in this field I invited to help us solve the mystery of the secret room."

"Detective?" Saori was a little inexplicably excited.

"Probably." It was Enomoto himself who answered this time.

Enomoto did not enter the crime scene immediately, but observed the appearance of the villa around, and came to the crime scene after it was over.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Enomoto asked suddenly when he carefully checked the lock of the study door with a magnifying glass.

"what?"

"It's just a study room, why use such a high-end lock? In contrast, this kind of lock should be used in places with high security requirements such as the gate. But I just saw the lock of the gate, it is just a general groove lock , far less advanced and safe than this lock.”

"The master usually brings back some documents from the company and puts them in the study. A considerable part of them are confidential documents, so the master is extra careful." Akagi explained.

"But it's good to put the materials in the safe, and there's no need to use this kind of lock!" Junko was a little puzzled.

"The master used to use a safe. In the past, the master used to put valuable materials in the company's safe, but he didn't expect it to be stolen, so the master brought all the materials back. The master said that even the safe is not safe, so he put it in the safe. Home is the safest."

"When did the safe get stolen?" Enomoto was a little concerned.

"Three months ago."

"The lock of the study was changed at that time?"

"Yes."

Enomoto carefully checked every corner of the room, from the windows to the door, from the ceiling to the floor.

However, apart from doors and windows, this room has no other exits.If it is an ordinary building, there are central air-conditioning ventilation pipes, maybe you can try to climb, but this is a private villa...

Enomoto put his right hand next to his ear and rubbed it for a few seconds.

"Mr. Akagi, it was Kawasuke Shimazaki who couldn't open the door that day, saying that the door was locked? Is it possible that he pretended that the door was locked, but it was not locked?" Enomoto asked.

"Impossible." Akagi replied firmly.

"Why so sure?"

"Because I tried it that day, and it was indeed locked. And I also tried it when I went to feed the hamsters, and it was also locked back then."

"What time do you feed the hamsters?"

"Around 12:50."

Enomoto nodded, silently thinking.

"Is there no air conditioning in this room?"

Enomoto discovered this strange thing after checking around.There is no heating or other heating equipment in this room. Why is there no air conditioner?This is the winter season!

"The air conditioner broke down some time ago. Because it was old, it was dismantled and a new one was going to be replaced. But the new one hasn't been delivered yet."

"When did this happen?"

"last month."

Enomoto nodded, searched carefully, and finally found a hole on the wall next to the bookshelf for the pipes of the internal and external air conditioners.There are still some traces of the base of the air conditioner that can be vaguely seen on the floor.It seems that this is a vertical cabinet, and it should have been placed side by side with the bookshelf.The bookshelf is on the east wall, and the air-conditioning hole is on the south wall, about [-] centimeters above the ground.

Junko looked at Enomoto, although she didn't understand why he asked about the air conditioner, but she thought that Enomoto had his own reasons!
