The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 237 The Irrationality of the Mask

"Yes."

Miwako Sato replaced Kasaho Nami and said,

"I can testify to this. Honami and I went to get the key together, and the key was indeed placed safely on the wall."

"So, what about Miss Shimokasa Minaho?"

Hakuba Song looked down at Kasa Minaho again.

"Me, I'm the same. I've left my keys securely on the wall."

Shimokasa Minaho said.

Seeing this, Bai Masong felt that he could not get anything out of the two maids, so he changed his target.

He turned his attention to the four people in the west wing.

Feeling Baimasong's cold gaze, several people trembled slightly.

"Um, Inspector Hakuba,"

Katagiri Masaki spoke first.

"I was with you when you came out of the Mask Hall. I don't think it's possible for me to kill anyone."

Hakuba Matsu remained silent on Katagiri Masanori's words.

But Matsumoto Mamoru and Nagara Haruka on the side couldn't sit still anymore.

If you didn't kill anyone, then there wouldn't be many people in the west wing!

"I, I was also woken up in the middle of my sleep, and then I woke up with everyone else!"

Matsumoto Mamoru quickly proved his innocence.

Nagara Haruka who was standing beside him also echoed,

"me too."

In response to the two people's words, Bai Masong did not make any comment, but nodded slightly.

At this time, Inspector Megure seemed to have discovered something.

He stared at Inaba and Dai.

"Ms. Inaba and Dai, please tell me, why are you the only one not here when everyone else is out?!"

Inspector Megure's words made Inaba Kazuyo's face turn pale instantly.

"I, I'm not, I don't,"

Inaba Kazuyo quickly defended himself,

"I, I just drank too much yesterday, so I slept very soundly."

"I really didn't hear anyone moving around or shouting!"

"There's no way I'm going to kill Teacher Su Fang!"

Just as Inaba Kazuyo was frantically defending himself, Nagara Haruka suddenly brought up a point.

"Everyone, Ms. Sufang Hongzi died because her carotid artery was pierced."

"Even if the murderer used some masks to cover his face, there would still be blood stains on his face."

"so......"

At this point, Nagara Haruka couldn't help but laugh softly.

She had already imagined the scene where everyone would expose the murderer based on their own reasoning!

"You, what do you mean?"

Inspector Megure, including many people present, have already reacted.

If the murderer is stained with blood, it must be cleaned.

And among all the people present, who has enough time to clean up?

There is no doubt that it was Ms. Inaba and Ms. Dai who were still in their room until Sufang Hongzi was discovered!

As everyone thought so, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Inaba Kazuyo.

Inaba Kazuyo, who already felt that he was being suspected by everyone, turned even paler.

"No, I didn't."

“I really have been sleeping the whole time!”

"It's really not me!"

Inaba Kazuyo's defense at this time seemed so pale and powerless to everyone.

It's like when you're playing Werewolf, only when you have nothing to say will you keep repeating to yourself "I'm not a wolf, I'm not a wolf."

Maori Kogoro looked at her seriously.

"Ms. Inaba Kazuyo, you are the only one who didn't show up at the scene from beginning to end. You have the chance to clean the blood off yourself."

Inaba Kazuyo was about to collapse at this point. It was clear that he had done nothing!

Why can't you guys just trust yourself?!

She looked at Chang Liangyao in front of her. It was because of this woman's nonsense that this happened!

"You, it's all you, you're the one who framed me..."

Inaba Kazuyo rushed forward and was about to fight with Nagara Haruka.

Katagiri Masanori and Matsumoto Mamoru quickly pushed the two away.

Bai Masong had no interest in watching this farce, so he walked away alone.

There is no need to ask this question at this point.

After all, no matter how many questions you ask, you have said everything you can say, and you will not say anything you cannot say.

Bai Masong once again returned to the bedroom where Sufang Hongzi died.

He always felt that something was strange.

Bai Masong returned to the bedroom and looked at the masks all over the floor. He finally understood where his strange feeling came from.

This feeling is - these two hundred masks on the ground!

Why are there so many masks? Why are two hundred masks all here?

According to common sense, when a person commits a murder, any strange or tricky thing he does has its logic and reason.

For example, in all the previous closed-room murder cases, the murderers either hoped that others would think that the deceased committed suicide, or used the closed room to clear themselves of suspicion.

However, without exception, these cases will not add difficulty out of thin air.

All the tricks and schemes are meant to reduce the difficulty of committing murder or to reduce the suspicion of murder.

However, this case seems a little different.

These masks on the ground neither reduced the difficulty of killing nor reduced his suspicion of murder.

On the contrary, so many masks, a total of 200, have greatly increased the difficulty of the murderer's killing.

Even if the murderer wanted to create confusion and portray himself as the messenger of the cursed mask, in fact, only a mask would be enough.

In this bedroom, the murderer placed two hundred masks, which are all the Shabull masks. In fact, there is no qualitative difference between this and using only one mask.

In other words, these two hundred masks are completely useless except for shocking people.

So, the question is, does the murderer kill people for people to admire him?

Or, was the murderer doing it for the so-called body art?

Baimasong thinks, no!

The murderer killed Sufang Hongzi with one blow, stabbing her throat directly. It was obvious that he wanted to choose the easiest method.

However, since he chose the easy way out when killing someone, why did he put so much effort into setting up the scene?

This is the biggest incongruity, or weirdness, that Baimasong felt.

A murderer who wanted to kill with one blow, but spent a lot of time setting up the scene.

To do this, he first needs to steal the key to the mask room from a maid, and then use a large bag to put all the masks in it.

Then he needs to cover the entire scene with masks.

But if the murderer only used one mask, he would just have to pick it up when he passed by the mask hall one day.

It goes without saying which one is simpler.

This irrationality can only indicate one problem.

That is - the murderer must use two hundred masks to kill people!
