Ke Xue: The Physique Of The Succubus At The Beginning Was Reversed By Xiao Ran

138. Difficulty Upgrade! Blizzard Villa Mode + Secret Room Murder Incident

The scene in front of me can be said to be the shadow of countless people’s childhood!

At this time, Wu Fan and Conan had come to the room and saw this scene.

Conan's face changed drastically and he said: "This is..."

Others also followed: "What's wrong?"

When everyone saw this scene in front of them, they were all shocked.

Under the light, Tokura, dressed as a vampire, was nailed to a cross with wooden nails just like the ending of a vampire movie.

Mouri Kogoro looked at the window next to him and said: "Except for the window we came in from, all the windows are locked.

"In addition, the entrance door is also locked from inside the house."

Not only that, even the cracks in the door were sealed with rubber.

As a result, it would be completely impossible to open the door from the outside with a rope.

Mouri Kogoro said: "It seems that the murderer came in through that window. This should not be wrong."

Hamura asked: "But Mr. Mouri, how did the murderer get in? The only place that was trampled by footprints was in front of the window. Apart from that, there were no footprints anywhere. You have to come from the cliff outside, that is It’s a fantasy, a fantasy, a dream, it’s impossible.”

"Besides, with such strong waves on the sea, if the boat comes, it will capsize immediately."

Mouri Kogoro raised his chin and said: "In other words, if this window is removed from this study, it would be a secret room. In other words, this is a secret room murder incident.

The so-called secret room murder is an "impossible crime" and the most representative one.

It is a criminal act that is both superficially and logically impossible.

It means that the murderer uses a series of means to make all the evidence of the victim's murder point to the closed space where the victim is located.

There is no second party, and it is not a method of killing where the victim commits suicide.

There are several ways to create a secret room:

Unreasonable and troublesome type

The representative works are "The Murders in the Rue Mauger" by Edgar Allan Poe and "The Secret of the Yellow House" by Justin Leroux. People who have watched it will have a deep understanding of "unreasonable ~" making trouble".

concierge key type

To build a secret room, the key lies in the handling of the key.

The usual situation is that only one concierge key can open the "secret room", but this key is either placed in the secret room, or it seems that the criminal has no chance to get it, thus creating the secret room effect.

It can be said that this is the case in most locked room cases, but each one is subtly different. Here are a few examples:

1. Packet dropping plan.

The representative work of Seiichi Morimura's "The Blind Spot of the High-Rise" appears to be holding the key to his own door, but in fact it is someone else's door key that has been lost in the bag, and then he finds an opportunity to exchange it after committing the crime.

2. Topology.

This is seen in "Lucia Doll Murder Case" in "Kindaichi Boy's Chronicle". On the surface, it seems that the key is stuck on the iron ring and cannot be removed. In fact, it is very easy to take it out by using clever changes in space.

3. Compete with the door lock.

There are many cases like this in "Detective Conan". You throw the key in the secret room and then work on the door lock so that the door can be locked from the inside without the key. This is also because the door structure is strange. .

4. Return outside the secret room. That is, in a sealed outdoor area, and then find a way to send the key in.

This situation is also common in "Detective Conan" cases, such as "The Woman from the Dark Organization". One of Sakura Kuni's works even used the cat hole in the household's house to let the cat help the murderer complete the task of placing the key.

There is a mystery radio drama, and the method is also very clever. Using the small hole in the transom, a rope is pulled through the small hole, and a book is used to hold the rope down in the secret room, and the other end is placed on the same floor as above. Then lock the door, slide the key down through the rope in the room on the upper floor, and then pull the rope back hard.

psychoactive

This kind of secret room is not a real secret room, but uses human psychology, coupled with the murderer's boldness and nimbleness, to create the secret room effect.

1. Substituting one thing for another.

It's a bit similar to Agatha Christie's "Crime Under the Sun". First, you find a fool (as a witness) to come to the scene with you. After breaking the door open, you first rush over and yell that so-and-so is dead, and then push away the person. The idiot (probably told him to call the police), the person lying there was naturally his accomplice, the two people quickly moved the real body out, and they were done!

2. Throw the keys on the spot.

This approach is the simplest and boldest. That is, when everyone broke into the secret room and caused chaos, they threw the key on the spot.

3. Lurking in the secret room.

It is also a bold approach, that is, after committing the crime, he has been hiding in the secret room until many people entered the scene, and then he took advantage of the chaos and quietly came out. But there is one thing. The murderer must be someone who appears in this place without being suspected. In other words, he must be an insider.

4. Acting in front of the door.

It's obviously not a secret room and it's not locked, but if you hold the key and pretend to unlock it, maybe twist it a few times and sweat a little, the effect will be better. However, this situation is relatively special, has great restrictions, and has been used relatively rarely. There was also a psychological secret room in "Detective Conan": a transparent door with a piece of glass in the middle was taped on the edge, but it was not connected to the door frame, that is, it did not seal the door.

reverse thinking type

Ronald Knox's original trick in "Walker in the Chamber of Secrets". In the secret room, you can't go down to kill people from above, but hang the victim up. It's really a classic (Wang Zhao's)! In addition, Akagawa Jiro's "Three The secret room in "The Mystery of the Sexy Cat" is also amazing, simply appalling.

Special skill type

There are many other clever ways. For example, the mirrors in "The New Opera House Murder Incident" and "Seven Unbelievable Murder Incidents on Campus" in "Kindaichi Boy's Incident", the gastroscope in "The Onihu Island Murder Incident", and the method of using gas in "The Demonic Ruin Murder Incident".

At this time, Tian Suo and Ran Mouri walked in.

Mouri Kogoro asked: "How about tail?"

Tadokoro said helplessly: "The police had no way to come. It is said that the heavy snowfall in the evening caused a serious avalanche on the road leading here.

Ran Mouri added: "If you want to restore it to its original state, you must wait until dawn."

Wu Fan murmured: "Blizzard Villa mode + secret room killing is a bit interesting."
