Chapter 619 Moon Shadow Island's Invitation Letter
"The murderer didn't need to be indoors when he committed the crime. He only needed to pull the rope outside to tighten the loop around the deceased's neck, and he could hang the deceased naturally... Therefore, the secret room itself is not a problem at all."

A few days after Ichiro Tanaka fell to his death, in the "Sand glass" coffee shop, Gao Yuan took a sip of coffee, and slowly told his reasoning to the woman sitting opposite him. At the age of 20, it still looks like a student in school.

And with this girl, beside her were two police officers Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi from the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, when the three of them heard Gao Yuan say such a conclusion so calmly, they all looked at each other in dismay.

Among them, Takagi Tsubasa and Sato Miwako looked at each other a few times, and finally with complete puzzlement, Sato Miwako first asked:
"Mr. Wise...you mean...the room in the chamber of secrets was locked from the inside by the deceased himself?"

"That's right, judging from the description of the scene, this is the only possibility."

To Miwako Sato's question, Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively and responded.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

Faced with Gao Yuan's determined attitude, Gao Mushe seemed even more incomprehensible, and even asked with a little self-doubt:

"Mr. Wise...According to your statement, it means that the deceased locked himself in the room, and then the murderer pulled the rope outside to hang the deceased..."

"This is really..."

Hearing Takagi Tsubasa's doubts, Miwako Sato couldn't help but agree:

"Can't understand..."

"After all, if this is the case, how can the murderer put the rope around the neck of the deceased? Even if the rope can be stretched outside through the small air window in the room, allowing the murderer to pull the rope outside... But if the other end of the rope If it can't be put on the neck of the deceased, all this will be meaningless!"

Takagi Wataru couldn't help asking in detail.

As for this, Gao Yuan just said plainly:

"What's so difficult about it? The dead man put the rope on himself."

"what!"

Hearing this, the three people present screamed in unison, while Gao Yuan calmly asked the opposite woman:

"Miss Asada, you were rehearsing a stage play adapted from "Notre Dame de Paris", right?"

"Ah... um..."

Very confused, the girl Gao Yuan called "Miss Chaotian" hesitated for a moment after hearing Gao Yuan's question, then nodded in affirmation.

In this regard, after receiving such a reply, Gao Yuan continued:
"That's right. In the plot of "Notre Dame de Paris", one of the plots is that when the heroine Esmeralda was sent to the gallows, she was rescued by Quasimodo, the clock tower eccentric.

"And the deceased happened to be playing Esmeralda in this stage play, and she rehearsed the different episodes of the story in that room every day in sequence. Therefore, the murderer only needs to prepare in advance when the deceased is about to rehearse the hanging scene Replace the prop rope with the murderer's rope, and the deceased will naturally put the rope around his neck during rehearsal...

"Then, the murderer only needs to take this opportunity to pull the rope outside! After the deceased dies, the murderer only needs to cut the rope through the transom window and recover it to complete the secret room murder!"

Concisely, Gao Yuan confessed his reasoning.

But this time, the three people present seemed to be enlightened, they looked at Gao Yuan in shock, and were at a loss for words for a while, not knowing how to respond.

"But... in this case, who is the murderer?"

After a while, Miwako Sato reconsidered and asked Gao Yuan:
"And where is the evidence to prove this method?"

"If you want evidence, it is the sample of nylon rope detected in the nail of the deceased... If my expectation is correct, then the same sample of nylon rope should also remain on the window sill of the transom window. This is how the murderer pulled the rope outdoors. Evidence that the deceased was hanged. As for the murderer..."

Gao Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said helplessly:
"How do I know that!"

"what!"

Hearing this, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru were surprised again, and couldn't help blurting out surprise.

As for this, Gao Yuan said helplessly:
"That's right... With the clues you gave me now, I can only guess the method used by the murderer. As for who the murderer will be, how would I know that!"

Having said that, Gao Yuan looked at the depressed mood of the three people in front of him, and then had no choice but to suggest:

"However... if the murderer wants to implement this method to kill, the murderer must be very clear about the fact that the deceased will rehearse alone in that room these days. Therefore, either the murderer has been following the deceased recently, or the murderer is someone familiar with the deceased ..."

Before they finished speaking, Takagi and Miwako Sato seemed to have thought of something, got up hurriedly, and said to Gao Yuan and Miss Asada:

"I see, thank you very much for your advice, Mr. Wise, I think we will know who the murderer is right away!"

In this way, with the departure of the two police officers, the only customers in this coffee shop are Gao Yuan and Miss Chaotian in front of him.

Regarding the sudden departure of the police, Miss Chaotian was very anxious, but Gao Yuan still had a calm face, sitting on the seat, quietly tasting the coffee in front of her.

However, not long after, Miss Chaotian received a message from the police, saying that the murderer had been caught, and Miss Chaotian needed to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to help identify him.

So, after receiving this news, Ms. Asada, who was still anxious at first, couldn't help becoming anxious——

"Detective Wise, thank you for your assistance. I'm going to the Metropolitan Police Department now... Ah! By the way, this is the commission fee!"

Somewhat in a hurry, Miss Chaotian got up and thanked Gao Yuan, then took out a thick-looking envelope from her backpack, held it in both hands, and handed it to Gao Yuan.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan took the envelope calmly, and said lightly:

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

After finishing speaking, Miss Chaotian continued to bow to Gao Yuan as a thank you, and then walked out of the coffee shop in an extremely eager manner.

In this regard, after Ms. Chaotian also left "Sand glass" completely, Gao Yuan finally couldn't hold back, sighed, and put his face on the table, looking very tired.

"That's great, Mr. Wise."

At this time, since Gao Yuan was the only customer left in the store, the owner of the coffee shop, who had been at the bar all the time, started talking to Gao Yuan:
"How many cases has this been completed in the past few days? The business has started to get busy! Ever since Mr. Wise's name appeared on the news that day, the incident that Mr. Wisely accepted the commission I received has also become There are more of them!"

Saying so, Kiwii Franchi also had a cheerful smile on his face.

"yes……"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but said to Falang Kizui's statement:
"Mr. Kizui also charged a lot of agency fees."

——Basically, the incidents that Gao Yuan took over in the past few days were all received through the detective intermediary of Banjing Falang, and this situation began after the Mi Hua Hotel that day, when his name gradually appeared in the public eye of.

"Although I heard that there are many cases where people want to find me, apart from the one just now, I actually received only one case about finding a child who ran away from home... and that case took me several days!"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's also impossible."

Seeing what Gao Yuan said, Kanai Falang couldn't help but comfort him:

"Since I rated Mr. Wisely as the highest 'Plum Grade' that day, the basic commission fee has already dissuaded many people, otherwise Mr. Wisely might be a little busy. Moreover, Mr. Honda's Looking for a child, the commission fee paid doesn’t count the cost! Although it takes a lot of time, it’s worth the money, isn’t it!”

"That's right, for the commission fee of 100 million, Mr. Kizui drew [-], right?"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but say to Falang Kizui's statement——

At the same time, after completing the event of finding someone, the settlement panel did not appear in the end.

As for the incident that was dealt with just now——

"After the reasoning is over, the case begins to close"

"Comprehensive evaluation of the case: A"

"Logic: S"

"Observation: A"

"Knowledge: B"

"The settlement is completed, the overall score reaches A, and the reward is 40"

"Detective Rating: Certified Detective"

"Bounty: 1800"

Looking at the settlement panel that appeared shortly after Ms. Asada left, Gao Yuan knew that Miwako Sato and Officer Takagi Wataru should have locked the murderer after getting their own conclusions, and then arrested him soon.

And because I don't know the complete story of "Notre Dame de Paris", so I re-read the story to find possible clues, so it is normal for the final "knowledge" score to be low.

"Ah! Mr. Wise, don't say that!"

Faced with Gao Yuan's mention of the agency fee, Kanai Falang couldn't help but smile and said:

"We are also mutually beneficial! Besides, if Mr. Zhizhi opens his own detective agency one day, I may need more support from you!"

"Do you want to open your own detective agency?"

Hearing the situation proposed by Falang Kiwii, Gao Yuan couldn't help but began to think about it seriously, but in the end he put the idea aside temporarily with a little helplessness——

Although it is said that the agency fee will be drawn in the end if the detective agency here accepts the case through the detective agency here, but if you open a detective agency by yourself, the expenses will be more than the agency fee.

At least, I don't have the advantages of Mori Kogoro. There is a single building in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which can be used to open a detective agency, and even rent out the ground floor to open a coffee shop.

If I want to open an office, I have to go outside to rent a storefront, so the cost is beyond what I can afford now.

As for opening a detective agency directly in your own residence...

Don't be stupid, how could I allow outsiders to enter and leave my home at will!
As a result, the idea of ​​opening an office was really unrealistic for me.

Moreover, although you will be charged an agency fee for going through a detective agency, you don't have to go through here to receive a case...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan feels that the current situation is pretty good.

After the last incident, because Tang Ben WuXu had not confessed, but the existing evidence was enough to sentence him, seeing Tang Ben WuXu being so blunt, even Zhi Jianwu went abroad immediately without insisting on interrogating him.

As for myself, I was entrusted by Zhizhi Jianwu as the guardian of Chengzuo Emerald, but the child I want to guard, I really can't take care of it logically, but seeing that she has only continued her "psychic career" recently, I also I'm too lazy to take care of it.

The rest is what he entrusts to Kaito Kuroba.

But yesterday, Heiyu Kaito reported back that the mirror in Fifteen Nights Village was not what I thought it was made of black diamonds, so this line can only be put on hold temporarily, and we can only look at it with the help of Heiyu Kaito in the future. Dou's family, can you continue to pay attention to the things about the blue diamond or the black diamond mirror...

So, looking at the time now seems to be about the same, Gao Yuan got up and prepared to go home...

……

It was evening when I returned to my residence, and Xiao Ai had already come home from school, sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"I am back."

Habitually, after Gao Yuan muttered something like this, he changed his shoes in the hallway, and then walked into the living room——

"Welcome back."

Faintly, Xiao Ai responded, and then continued to watch the fashion programs on TV.

"That's right. Let's order takeout for today's dinner, Haibara, what would you like to eat?"

A little reluctant to move, Gao Yuan also sat on the sofa in the living room, and was about to rest and talk, but at the same time, Gao Yuan couldn't help but notice an envelope placed on the coffee table in the living room——

"This is what I found in the mailbox at the door when I came back today. It should be sent to you."

Looking at Gao Yuan's eyes, Xiao Ai replied indifferently.

"That's it..."

Hearing Xiao Ai's answer, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little strange, and took the envelope over——

"strangeness……"

Muttering, Gao Yuan frowned strangely when he saw the envelope with only the address but no sender.

—Who sent it from?

Even if you put aside the fact that there is no sender, just sending a letter to your own home is already abnormal.

After all, I don't have any relatives and friends in this world that I need to contact through letters——

To be precise, I have no relatives at all, and those friends I know have left their mobile phone numbers or email numbers. Even if someone wants to contact me, just call or send an email. Why send a letter?
Moreover, if it is not someone who knows himself, who would know his address!
Is it the client who entrusted him to solve the case after he became famous?
But how could the client know his own address?

You know, even though the door was blocked by reporters in front of the Metropolitan Police Department, I drove towards Shirozuka Emerald's residence, and that direction was completely different from Mihua Town where I lived, so I didn't want to expose myself at the time I chose the Shirozuka Emerald's house that I went to first.

As for the future, after getting rid of those reporters, outsiders will have no reason to know where they live.

What's more, you have to know that the last time and the only time I received a letter before, it was the letter sent by Miyano Akemi in the name of Furukawa Youji!

Other than that, I never received any other letters at all.

Therefore, due to the lesson of Miyano Akemi's letter, Gao Yuan inevitably had some concerns about the letters sent to him.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, this letter still seems a bit abnormal...

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan took the envelope in his hand and looked at it for a long time, then walked to the study with a slightly serious expression, and began to unpack the letter——

Open the envelope and take out the contents.

I saw that in addition to a folded letter paper, there was actually a check for 50 yen!
Seeing this, Gao Yuan frowned and spread out the letter paper, and then saw that it turned out to be a letter cut out from newspapers and magazines and pieced together——

"On the night of the next full moon, shadows will start to disappear again on Moon Shadow Island. Please investigate the reason—Keiji Aso."

After reading the letter, Gao Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.

At the same time, Gao Yuan subconsciously glanced at the watch he was wearing given by the city tomb jadeite, and looked at the moon phase displayed on the moon phase disc on it, and found that the so-called "next full moon" turned out to be tomorrow!

"Tuekage Island, Keiji Aso... This is an invitation letter from Tsukage Island...but why..."

Seeing this, Gao Yuan has long remembered which case in the original work this is, but because of this, Gao Yuan is also very puzzled that he will receive this letter...
