Chapter 38 The reasoning of the two

"Do you mean to say that a bed is prepared in the basement for someone to sleep there?"

Mao Lilan probably understood what the two of them meant.

"Is it possible that someone wants to imprison someone there?"

Suzuki Sonoko felt that she had thought of the key point, and suddenly said her thoughts out loud.

"How is it possible? If someone is to be imprisoned, this empty villa can be used anywhere, so why dig out a basement?"

Kudo Shinichi retorted.

"Then the problem goes back to the basement."

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Leave aside the issue of the basement, let's discuss the person who wants to sleep on the bed! Think about it, if someone prepared such a bed for someone to sleep there, what do you think? How did the person who came to sleep get in?"

"It must have been brought in by someone. After all, this is an unoccupied villa, so no one will take the initiative to come in."

Maurilan said.

Kudo Shinichi on the side showed a clear smile at this time, then looked at Gao Yuan, and asked, "Mr. Zhizhi, have you bought beer here these two days?"

"No."

Gao Yuan replied with some confusion.

"But the man was brought in so that he could sleep in the basement?"

Suzuki Sonoko said he couldn't understand.

"Do you still remember that half a month ago, Dr. Ali said that the lights in this villa were on at night?"

Kudo Shinichi reminded, "It should be that day, the person who dug out this basement brought someone to this villa."

"But what's the use of bringing people into this empty villa?"

Maurilan asked.

"There are many things to do, such as drinking or something."

Kudo Shinichi smiled proudly, "Actually, I found an empty beer can in the corner just now, and it seems that it was thrown there recently. Since Mr. Zhizhi didn't drink it, it could only be an outsider who came in here for drink."

After listening to Kudo Shinichi's words, Gao Yuan frowned and couldn't help thinking.

"So you mean that on the night half a month ago, someone brought someone here to drink beer, and then let the brought person go into the basement to sleep after drinking almost?"

"Yes."

Kudo Shinichi agreed with this statement, which made Gao Yuan even more puzzled.

"But this is too strange. If it's just like this, why put the bed in the basement? And it's unreasonable for people to sleep in this empty villa!"

Suzuki Sonoko retorted.

"And it's weird to bring people here to drink beer!"

Mao Lilan also cannot accept this statement.

"Maybe, it's because I want to make that person feel not strange, so I have such a strange action."

Gao Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and said with some uncertainty, but after thinking deeply for a moment, he showed a suddenly enlightened expression, and then replaced it with a face full of surprise—"No way!"

"It seems that Mr. Zhizhi also wants to understand!"

Kudo Shinichi said, "Take out the impossible, and the rest, no matter how impossible, is the truth!"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Regarding the dialogue between Gao Yuan and Kudo Shinichi, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were completely unable to keep up with their thoughts.

"And what do you mean by 'making that person not feel weird'? Drinking in an empty villa and going to sleep in the basement are all weird, okay!"

Suzuki Sonoko said.

"Drinking in an empty villa and going to sleep in the basement. It seems very strange to us, but what if it is very normal to the person who was brought here?"

Kudo Shinichi said.

"How could anyone think this is normal! Kudo, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Suzuki Sonoko said.

"For example, the person who was brought here lived like this... No, to be more direct, the person who was brought here regards this place as a place he is familiar with?"

Gao Yuan explained, but Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko couldn't understand what the two men said.

"To put it simply, there are two villas with exactly the same layout! One is here; and the other is where the person who was brought here originally lived!"

Kudo Shinichi put it more bluntly.

"Then digging the basement is..."

"Because of the difference!"

Before Mao Lilan finished speaking, Kudo Shinichi began to say: "Maybe the only difference between these two villas is that there is no basement here, so to make the layout of the two villas exactly the same, a basement must be dug here!"

"If that's the case, the whole thing makes sense."

Gao Yuan began to explain.

"Of course, for the sake of brevity, let's call the person who dug the basement A and the person brought here B.

"By accident, A discovered the layout of this idle villa, which was almost the same as B's villa, so for some purpose, A dug out a basement for this villa, making the layout of the two villas exactly the same. Then, one night half a month ago, A brought B here to drink together. But B didn’t know that this was not his own villa, and after getting drunk, B habitually went back to the basement to sleep.”

For such an explanation, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko showed surprised expressions, as if they were listening to a scripture, and Kudo Shinichi continued to add details.

"A's purpose for doing this, I think, is to let B help him create an alibi! A's deliberate digging of the basement here means that what he wants to do is a very important thing. I think it is very likely that he wants to I want to kill someone nearby, but if that person dies, A will be very suspicious, so he needs someone to create an alibi for him, so B becomes the best candidate."

"Because B's own villa is very far away from here, if B proves that A was drinking with him at the time of the crime, and it was too late to rush to the crime scene, then A's suspicion will naturally be cleared. Afterwards, A Just take the sleeping B back to B's own villa."

Gao Yuan said.

"But... But, the layout of the two villas is exactly the same, which is too coincidental. And according to this statement, B's villa should also be empty, is this possible?"

Maurilan asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's possible. For example, B's villa was built according to this villa? It's understandable that B's villa is also empty, because B's villa has just been built and the furniture hasn't been moved in yet!"

Kudo Shinichi said, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were completely stunned.

"A has seen this villa before, and then B wanted to build a villa. A took advantage of this and directly handed over the design of this villa to B, and asked B to build a villa exactly like this one, only because of B's ​​insistence. , B’s villa has a new basement. And the villa has been built recently, and the furniture hasn’t been moved in yet, so B can only sleep in the basement for the time being.”

Gao Yuan said.

"Wait a minute! Are you trying to say that A wants to kill someone, so he took advantage of B's ​​plan to build a new villa a long time ago, in order to create an alibi for him half a month ago!"

Mao Lilan almost stood up in surprise, and Suzuki Sonoko looked at the two people who made such a reasoning with a look of shock.

"In order to kill a person, a house was purposely built!"

Gao Yuanhua used the famous quote from "Crime in the Inclined House" to summarize this reasoning!

"In that case, let's confirm it."

As Kudo Shinichi said, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Police Officer Mu Mu of the Metropolitan Police Department's first search section.
