"I already know the truth about these two murders. Let’s start with the mystery of the secret room in the Kimono Sode Shrine where Anzai Ema died. Officer Zhenxian, please take a look at the camera placed there. I have always thought that the shoe prints there contained some mystery. Until this morning, the mystery was finally solved."

Conan began to use Mouri Kogoro's voice to explain the truth of the case. After listening to Conan's words, Zhen Xianwen picked up the camera he had placed and opened it to look at the shoe prints that were taken.

"What's wrong with these shoe prints?"

"Don’t you think these shoe prints are too light?"

Conan said:"When I went to the ancestral hall at noon yesterday, my shoes sank about seven or eight centimeters into the snow. Later, the snow continued to fall, until I went to the ancestral hall again at about 10:30 in the evening. Logically speaking, Anzai Ema's shoe prints should be buried at least 15 centimeters in the snow, but in fact they are only seven or eight centimeters. These shoe prints are too shallow."

"So that's the case, but why?"Zhen Xianshen nodded.

"Because these shoe prints had been pressed by someone before, I didn’t want Anzai Ema’s shoe prints to be covered by heavy snow, so I and the Kokura policeman specially covered Anzai Ema’s footprints with towels. Think about it, what would happen if instead of covering it with a towel, it was covered with a wooden board? The murderer walked through it and walked into the ancestral hall, and then walked out from inside, without destroying the shoe prints left by Anzai Ema."

Hearing what Conan said, Feili suddenly said:"I understand, the murderer did not place many wooden boards on the shoe prints, only two wooden boards are enough. I think the murderer should have prepared two small wooden boards in advance, and then moved them alternately on the shoe prints left by Miss Ema until he reached the entrance of the ancestral hall. After killing Miss Ema, he used the same technique to return to the back door. , so the shoe prints will naturally become lighter."

"Right, that is it."

Conan agreed loudly, and couldn't help but think that Aunt Fei Miles was really powerful. She guessed the murderer's method so quickly.

Seeing 'Mouri Kogoro' agreed, Saka Tokyo couldn't help but asked:"But Mr. Mori, what method did the murderer use to get to the back door?

After hearing this, Yoriko Yasuda immediately said:"That's right, no one has been there at all.""

"The murderer used the same technique to walk through the corridor without being discovered and without leaving any shoe prints. According to the results of my investigation, after exiting the back door, the snow path on the right sunk 15 centimeters, but on the left it only sunk 5 centimeters. In other words, the murderer came from the left to the back door. When the murderer passes under the eaves, the snow in this place will naturally sink deeper, and this place is...

"Where is this place?"

The murderer was about to be revealed. Everyone looked at Kogoro's back nervously.

"This is your room, Miss Akechi."

As Conan revealed the answer, everyone couldn't help but look at Eri Akechi. Harumi Fukatsu, Yoriko Yasuda, and Kazuchi Tokyo, who knew Eri Akechi, couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe that the murderer was Eri Akechi. Eri Akechi's expression turned pale. She changed, calm and calm, as if Conan was not talking about her.

Conan said:"Yesterday night, Miss Akechi Eri left the bathhouse and returned to her room after Miss Asuka, and then used the method I just mentioned to get to the back door. At the ancestral hall, she killed Ema Anzai, whom she had lured earlier under the name of Mr. Bando."

Akechi Eri did not remain silent this time, but spoke out:"Yes, I may indeed use the method you mentioned to kill Ema, but what about Asuka? How do you explain her death?"

Hearing this, several people who were looking at Akechi Eri immediately looked at Mouri Kogoro sitting on the stone.

"In fact, Asuka Shibazaki was killed before Ema Anzai. Miss Eri Akechi first knocked Shibazaki Asuka unconscious with an electric shock baton, took off her clothes and killed her, and then threw the belt hidden on her body into the bath. The magic sword must have been stolen by her the night before."

"But if Miss Asuka was killed first and then Miss Ema, how could the magic sword and the blood-stained bath towel be found in this bathhouse? Also, how do you explain the paper doll?"

The person who asked the question was Fei Miles. She frowned slightly and couldn't figure out the truth for a while.

"That is an illusion created by using dry ice. You only need a small piece of dry ice to hang the doll in the gap in the ceiling. Calculate how long it takes for it to melt, and then you can let the doll fall down at the appropriate time."

"So that's the case, no wonder that doll is a bit frozen. Feili suddenly nodded.

Conan said:"The reason why Miss Akechi Eri asks her boss to buy cakes for her every day is for the dry ice in the cakes.""

"He is truly worthy of being a detective. Akechi

Eri sighed secretly in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he said,"Mr. Mori, what about the magic sword and bath towel?" I have never been in a bathhouse.

Conan said:"Even if you haven't been to the bathhouse, you can still move them?" I'll let someone practice it for everyone to see."

In a moment, two wooden boards slid down from the cliff and fell into the soup pool. Then the magic knife sank to the bottom and the bath towel floated on the water.

"These two wooden boards were slid down from Miss Akechi Eri's guest room on the cliff. You can imagine the magic knife used to kill Anzai Ema, and the big bath towel stained with Anzai Ema's blood, using the method I just said , they can be moved in. The crackling sound that Takada, Conan, I, and I heard yesterday was exactly the sound of wooden boards flying over. Miss Akechi Eri used this method to completely reverse the order of the killings in order to create an alibi for herself."

The wooden plank used for the murder was quickly taken over by the Kokura police. In fact, there was no wooden plank at all. The belt was used in the storage room. After icing the belt and leaving it outside for a day, it would naturally freeze. A frozen belt can be used to replace two wooden boards.

But if only two belts floated on the water, it would easily arouse suspicion, so more belts had to be placed. Therefore, Akechi Eri used the legend spread in the village According to legend, many belts were placed on Shibazaki Asuka's body during the murder, so that the two belts would not arouse suspicion._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
