Chapter 491 Secret Room?

After dealing with the affairs in the kitchen, Gao Yuan drove his own light blue "MINI" car, carrying Koizumi Hongzi, to the apartment named "Sand glass".

Under the leadership of Gao Yuan, the two walked into the door of the apartment. The wind chime hanging behind the door could not help but be disturbed by the door being pushed open, making a crisp sound.

Regarding this, the manager of the coffee shop who was cleaning the cups on the counter of the coffee shop downstairs, and the director of the "Detective Mediation Office", François Kizui couldn't help turning his eyes to the door, showing a characteristic smile, and said politely:

"Welcome... oh! What a rare visitor, Mr. Wise!"

After seeing that the person who came was Gao Yuan, Franco Kizui couldn't help saying in surprise:
"It seems that you haven't come here to take care of my business for a long time, why did you suddenly think of coming here today?"

"Mr. Kizui, long time no see."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Gao Yuan didn't waste too much time, and asked straight to the point:
"Is there any commission here today?"

Hearing this, Franz Kizui couldn't help feeling a little surprised, and immediately said:

"You're asking the right question. There is indeed a troublesome commission that needs to be resolved. Originally, this case was handled by Ms. Kyoko, but now I have encountered some difficulties..."

Saying that, François Kizui's face became a little helpless, and then continued:
"For specific matters, you can ask Usuke."

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded, took out his mobile phone, and directly dialed the number of Yinguan Esuke...

……

"Yesterday, I was doing gardening and pruning work at a family's house in Okuho, but in the house next to that family, I found a dead body, which looked like it was killed by something..."

Sitting in the ward of Okuho University Hospital, the white-haired Ms. Kyoko Kagegami was lying on the hospital bed and fell asleep.On the seat beside the hospital bed, Yinguan Usuke explained to Gao Yuan with a sad face.

"So...you are treated as a murderer again?"

Hearing Yinguan Usuke's words, Gao Yuan asked helplessly.

On the other hand, Hongzi Koizumi, after seeing Yinguan Esuke, deliberately sat on the seat farthest from him, and couldn't help muttering with emotion:

"Sure enough, he's a 'bad luck' person..."

"kindness……"

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Yinguan Usuke could only nod helplessly, and then said a little excitedly:

"However, because of Miss Today's relationship, my suspicion of committing the crime has been cleared. It's just..."

Saying that, Yinguan Usuke began to feel depressed, and said with some self-blame:
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't said that Miss Kyoko is a 'forgetting detective' who would forget what happened before as soon as she fell asleep, Ms. Kyoko wouldn't have been drugged with sleeping pills by the murderer, and she still hasn't woken up!"

"Then...how is Miss Today doing now?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan was also a little surprised, and couldn't help looking at Jinshang Jinzi who was lying on the hospital bed, and asked.

"Miss Today Zi is fine for the time being... It's just that the effect of the sleeping pills hasn't passed yet..."

Yinguan Usuke showed a bitter smile, looked at Miss Kyoko on the hospital bed tenderly, and replied like this.

"Then, let's continue with the incident..."

Hearing that Miss Today's life was safe, Gao Yuan couldn't help but nodded, and continued to ask.

"The police have investigated the scene, but because of the strange circumstances in which the incident took place, almost no progress has been made in the investigation."

Yinguan Usuke calmed down a little, and continued to explain.

"The situation is strange? What exactly do you mean?"

Gao Yuan asked, and then Yinguan Esuke seemed to be in a bad mood, and began to talk about the incident incoherently, and kept complaining about his misfortune. After Gao Yuan repeatedly confirmed the details, he finally figured out what happened—— —

The victim of the incident was the head of that family, and his name was Yamauchi Toda.

The reason Ukusuke Usekek knew him was because he was recently doing gardening work at the neighbor's house next door to Yamauchi Toda.It was during the time when he was working outdoors that Ukusuke Usuke met a few times with Toda Yamauchi who sometimes went out for a stroll.

The opportunity for the two to get to know each other was when they were working in a hermitage.

At that time, just when Yamauchi Toda was going out, the chainsaw that Yinguan Usuke used to trim the branches broke, which made Yinguan Usuke very embarrassed.It just so happened that Yamauchi Toda, who saw this scene, came up to help enthusiastically, and lent his own chainsaw to Yinkan Osuke.

After this time, the two began to get acquainted with each other.

According to Usuke Yinkan, this Yamauchi Toda has a hobby, that is, he usually likes to make things by himself, so he often uses the other room of his house as a studio, and often nests in it on weekends to make furniture.

And just so, yesterday, the chainsaw used by Yinguan Usuke broke down again, so because of the last incident, Yinguan Usuke thought about going to Yamauchi Toda to borrow another chainsaw, so he couldn't help but go to another house look for him.

However, no matter how much Esuke knocked on the door or shouted, no one in the other room responded.

So, thinking that the other party might also be in the main house, when he was about to go to the main house to find someone, it seemed that because of some intuition, just in case, the Yinguan Erjie still looked into the other room through the window. Finally confirmed it...

As a result, the body was discovered in this way.

——"The body was found in another house, and the only entrance to the other house was the door, and the windows were sealed and could not be opened..."

Under Gao Yuan's gradual questioning, Yinguan Esuke said so.

"What about the lock?"

Hearing Yinguan Esuke's words, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think of something, and asked in confirmation.

"It's locked."

The hidden house Esuke replied:
"The door of the other house was locked from the inside. After the police investigated, they found that the key to the door was in Mr. Yamauchi's own pocket..."

"Oh, the secret room kills!"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan said somewhat clearly——

The scene was a secret room, and Miss Today Zi was given sleeping pills during the investigation. In this way, the range of suspects can be narrowed down to a very small area!
——Originally, Gao Yuan thought so, but following the appearance of Yinguan Usuke's next sentence, Gao Yuan fell into confusion.

"No, the scene is not a secret room."

Yinguan Usuke said helplessly.

"Hey?"

Gao Yuan was a little puzzled by this:

"The doors and windows are all locked. Are there other entrances and exits that are large enough for an adult to enter and exit?"

"kindness……"

Yinguan Usuke nodded, but his face kept frowning, showing extreme confusion——

"A big hole was opened on the inner wall of that other room!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan was obviously very surprised, showing a confused expression...
