"Everyone," after afternoon tea, Kogoro Mori stood on the red-carpeted stairs and explained the basic facts of the case condescendingly to everyone, "So, these are two murders, and the murderer was in the Among us!"

The living room suddenly fell into an uproar, and it was quiet again after a while. At this moment, the difference between the children left by the two wives could be seen. The eldest daughter, Ms. Yuzi, naturally moved closer to the eldest son, Mr. Lianyang, and his wife. The three children also approached each other, and the small living room was divided into two distinct factions, which fell into Mo Xian's eyes.

"Because the murder weapon, the big hammer, was not found at the scene of the crime," Maori continued, "so I want to conduct a search of everyone's rooms. I wonder what you want?"

Although Ms. Yuko and Ms. Chunmiao who woke up had some objections, the others still agreed with Mr. Mao Li. He successfully got the room keys of everyone present from the housekeeper. After thinking about it, Mo Xian wanted to bring Conan and Xiao Lan went to help. After all, apart from the bedroom, there are other rooms where the murder weapon can be hidden. Maori's workload alone is too great.

"Sister Mo, go and help," Conan rejected her proposal in a low voice, "Sister Xiaolan and I stay in the living room, maybe we will hear some useful news."

Mo Xian thought so, and asked Xiaolan and the two not to drink the water and food handed over by Mr. Saeki's sons and daughters, and then stepped up the stairs with a little worry.

Maori searched from the nearest Miss Saeki Yuko's room. In her room, the bed and chairs were full of clothes and jewelry, the dressing table was also full of bottles and cans, and the cloakroom was so crowded that it was impossible to start. Mo Xian didn't find the murder weapon, but felt that the chair The bracelet on it had a unique shape, so I picked it up and observed it for a while. The violent sea wind rattled the windows, and the wind speed was too fast to blow on the reef, making a screaming sound like a whistle.

After checking Ms. Youzi's room, the two of them pushed Mr. Lianyang's room away without a key. His room was tidy and clean, the bed was well made, and all kinds of utensils were neatly placed in place. However, Mo Xian never There was a hint of blood in the lemon smell of the air freshener, and I opened the closet along with the smell of blood, "Uncle Molly!"

Maoli, who opened the drawer of the bedside table, rushed over, and followed his line of sight to see the big hammer wrapped in plastic bags in the closet. There was still dried and blackened blood on the body. When I thought that it was this big hammer that smashed Mr. Saeki's head, a new round of wild imaginations unfolded in the live broadcast room, [It's disgusting, this hammer goes down, and the head It's no wonder they don't live apart. ] [My God, this shot is so close, I feel a little sick to my stomach. ] [Strange, the murder weapon is so easy to find?Yuan Fang, how do you see? ] [Report to my lord!There must be something strange about this matter!There are two possibilities, one, he is the murderer and did the opposite, and two, he was framed and the murderer was someone else. ] [The one in front, don't be ashamed, a three-year-old child can see these two points. ] [No matter what the possibility is, the murderer successfully used the murder weapon to disturb the police, oh no, Maori's sight. ][This should be the reason why the murderer took away the murder weapon,] Yan Li's head kept turning, [Lead the suspicion to Mr. Lianyang, so that Mao Li will spend his time trying to find out why Mr. Lianyang committed the third crime for the murderer.] There is a slight opportunity for this murder case. ] "So, the murderer may have randomly found a room to put it in?" Mo Xian asked consciously in the live broadcast room, and at the same time looked at Mao Li who was looking at the murder weapon with a perplexed expression.

[This possibility cannot be ruled out,] Yan Li continued cautiously, [But Mr. Lianyang's room is the closest to the study, and he has no habit of locking the door, the murderer is likely to find a nearby place to throw the murder weapon, so I think Instead of investigating Mr. Lianyang's house, it is better to find the murderer's motive and prevent the next murder. ] When it comes to motives, I naturally have to ask Mori Kogoro. Mo Xian looked at the hammer in his hand and asked unintentionally, "Uncle Mori, Mr. Saeki invited you here to investigate who is not his son?"

The eldest son and eldest daughter are twins, so it is impossible to be Mr. Lianyang, and the scope is limited to the three children born to his second wife, Mrs. Chunshu.

"It's the second son, Daichi Saeki," Mouri said casually, putting the murder weapon like a hot potato on the ground, "because Mr. Saeki came back from business and found that Mrs. Haruki was pregnant, and the date of delivery was postponed. For half a month, so he suspected that the child was when he was not around... At that time, he only had one thought and didn't think too much about it, but when he got older and wanted to make a will, he couldn't figure it out."

It doesn't matter if the date of birth is later or earlier, Mr. Saeki will suspect that the child is not his, there must be some basis for it, Mo Xian continued to ask, "Then, when he left, did Mrs. Haruki have sex with someone?" Come closer, sir?"

Kogoro Moori glanced at her in surprise, and Mo Xian understood the strangeness in his eyes, rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle, I'm already a high school student, don't you often see some mistresses on TV? You know a little bit more or less."

Mori rubbed his head in embarrassment, and said in a rough voice, "Don't worry about it so much, kid," and then told her half-covered, "Mr. Saeki's partner, a young man named Shotaro Nishino, used to He went in and out of Saeki’s house, and the people in the Saeki’s family got along well with him, but after Mr. Saeki returned home, he unilaterally tore up the contract with Mr. Nishino, and used commercial means to bring down the Nishino family. Shotaro Nishino later committed suicide by jumping off the building gone."

Mo Xian nodded thoughtfully, "Then, is the legend Mr. Saeki said about the Guhuo Bird?"

Maori nodded, "When Mr. Saeki was killed, there was the note he had just received on the desk. It was stained red by his blood and the writing could not be seen, but the note he received before today was still in good condition. Put it in the drawer," he took out a transparent plastic document bag from his pocket, and a piece of blood-stained note paper was lying in it, and Mo Xian took it over and saw that there were two lines of haiku written on it, to the effect that, The sea breeze blows from the land, and the feathers are stained with blood. The afternoon shadow covers the cedar trees and moistens the small shells on the beach.Finally left today's date, and a drop of blood.

[It’s strange,] Netizens with great powers have already translated the meaning of these sentences from the translator and posted them on the bullet screen and public screen, [Every sentence can’t be connected, it seems to be cut from several books the same. ][No wonder Mr. Saeki asked Maori to come here before noon today. It turned out that the shadow in the afternoon was clearly written on the note, but didn't the bird come out at midnight? ] [Maybe it's not about Guhuo bird?However, it is still necessary to cheer up and be vigilant, especially at midnight. ] Mo Xian returned the note to Mao Li Kogoro, and the two looked at each other facing the murder weapon on the ground. After a while, Mao Li said, "Let's go and search other people's bedrooms."

Mo Xian had exactly this intention. Although he found the murder weapon, he couldn't let go of the great opportunity to get to know Mr. Saeki's family. The two searched room by room. In Saeki Dadi's room, Mo Xian found the weapon hidden in the bedside cabinet. Yes, the photos of Saeki Daichi and Nishino Shotaro, let the audience in the live broadcast room quickly take screenshots and save them and put them back in place. Saeki Ton’s room is too messy. He has two children and four of them live together. There is almost nowhere to go. , Mo Xian looked at the door, and when Mao Li came out empty-handed, he shook his head disappointedly at her.

Maori suspected Zuo Bodun from the beginning. After all, everyone was in the villa, and it was too suspicious for their family to go out, but suspiciousness could not be used as evidence. Miss Qianhui's room was also clean and tidy, and her bed was covered with books. Mao Li also flipped through the books one by one to see if there was anything entrained, but except for the thin thread caught in a book, he didn't find any useful clues.

"This is," Maori twisted the thin thread, "fishing line?"

When it comes to fishing line, both of them think of the murder case in the secret room yesterday morning. The murderer locked the door from the outside with tape and thread. On the inner doorknob, there are traces of fine line scratches.

"Did the murderer use this method to get out of the secret room?" Mao used clues to the doorknob, trying to replay the crime scene.

Mo Xian clutched his nose and watched Maoli busy tying the fishing line to the doorknob, and tried to lock the door from the inside from the outside, but the doorknob was too slippery. Once, Mo Xian shook his head.

"According to this success rate," she said, looking at the other end of the corridor, "the murderer must have stayed in front of the door for at least 10 minutes, and there is no cover in the corridor on the second floor, as long as someone passes by, they will be able to see it at a glance, and they will definitely be found , the murderer would not do such a thing."

"It's not necessarily true," Mao Li retorted, "Miss Qianhui lives here, it's easy to find a chance to practice, after many times of practice, the success rate will definitely improve, so you don't need to spend so much time, Maybe these scratches are traces of her training."

Although Mao Li said so, Mo Xian still felt that this method was too simple. If Ms. Qianhui was the murderer, would she really carelessly clip the evidence fishing line in the book?There is a fir forest outside the villa. If you throw the fishing line casually and the sea breeze blows, it may take several days to be searched. Would the murderer not have thought of such a simple method of destroying evidence?

Just when all the bedrooms were searched and Mo Xian was about to go to the utility room, she suddenly heard a buzzing sound, and then the room was dark and the lights were turned off.
