"The mystery of the secret room is now solved. The prisoner strangled the victim through the bars and then removed the body with a rope. The 100 million yen used for feet under the window was hidden by Mr. Nanamura

.”

This is the truth.

The truth that the bespectacled girl had always been troubled about and felt was difficult to unravel was easily exposed by Kirigiri.

"Speaking of which, there is actually a rooftop above the third floor. I really don't know what to say about this abandoned hotel. Who can tell the truth after such a transformation?"

"You don't have enough imagination, Sister Yu. From the upside-down pinch marks, we should be able to deduce that the prisoner appeared from above."

"Even if you say that, it's hard to imagine that the third floor is gone..."

"Although Sister Yu, you said it is on the third floor, in fact, this floor should be on the fifth floor. It is not that the upper floors of the third floor are gone, but that our location is upstairs on the third floor. As for

The rooftop is the real rooftop.”

"Maybe the stairs have been reset. In terms of the number of floors, we thought we were only on the third floor. In fact, we were on the fifth floor. Don't you think the stairs suddenly became very steep?"

"So to say……"

The view from the rooftop is really hard to imagine that it is only three stories high.

"Then the number of floors written on the stair landing is false? So are the schematic diagram of the hotel structure in the lobby and the numbers starting from '3' on the door?"

"Maybe the criminals prepared it in advance to make us misunderstand, or maybe it was done by the Crime Victims Relief Committee."

"It turns out that everything was a trick designed by the prisoners to use the rooftop to confuse us..."

"By the way, you can think that when Mr. Toriyao was killed, the criminal used the same method as when Mr. Oshata was killed."

"I remember that the corridor was sprinkled with water that night to leave footprints, but there were no footprints like those left by prisoners."

"Yes, the prisoner probably noticed that water was sprinkled on the ground outside the door. The detectives announced a strike that night, so it was possible to enter the victim's room through the door, but the prisoner seemed to have walked to the rooftop. He went out from the window of his room,

Come to the rooftop and then go to the victim’s room.”

That night, May Yujie heard a sound that sounded like something was being dragged. Now that she thought about it, it must have been made when the prisoner was using a rope to move the body to the bedside.

"Although Mr. Toriyao only has 70 million funds, he can still build a 50cm high stepping platform. However, when we checked the body, the funds were gone."

"Ah, it turns out that... Zetian took it away, so he looked so confident before. Indeed, after adding 70 million in funds, it can be said that he is sure of victory."

"That's right. He discovered the essence of this auction and planned to put it into practice, but... it was just a show for us. That person had no intention of asking for the right to be a detective next time."

"Yeah, what did that guy think, just to make us feel uncomfortable? But that's fine, if that guy won yesterday, someone would still die..."
