When the victim was assassinated behind the door, Sumu, Du Ruo, Bagui, and Shuijingshan were all on this side of the door.

This means that the murderer should be someone other than these four people. This is a very normal and natural logic.

Of course, those who have learned well know that this is even more abnormal, and the murderer is more likely to be among these people.

If there is such suspicion, then the next thing to solve is undoubtedly the secret room problem.

That is, how the murderer got in and out of the secret room.

"Can you tell us in detail what happened before we got here?"

Kirigiri asked without a clear purpose.

"Okay. Anyway, I will tell the police everything later. Let's just think of this as an advance practice..."

Sumu made an exaggerated gesture and began to tell.

They gathered at the Takeda Haunted Mansion at around 1 pm yesterday, January 10th.

By the way, the four-person detective team opened the challenge at noon an hour ago. This means that it was only an hour after the 'Black Challenge' kicked off. At this stage, the actors on the stage

Already arrived.

It was impossible to distribute invitations and get the actors here in just one hour.

Then the murderer had already expected that they would open the challenge at noon on January 10th, and took action in advance.

If this is Ryuzoji Temple, there is really nothing to say.

But of course the murderer cannot be him. The greater possibility is that the murderer asked everyone to gather in the mansion in advance, and as soon as the challenge letter is opened, the action will be implemented immediately.

But I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune. The day when the challenge letter was opened coincided with the day when the people gathered, so it was very difficult.

The crime was quickly committed.

After Sugi and others arrived at the mansion, they first introduced themselves.

At this time, they were still in the stage of testing each other, and no one revealed their identity as detectives.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, two hours had passed since the meeting time, and the client still did not show up. At this time, everyone began to become suspicious.

After this time, everyone wanders around the mansion at will, and you can only ask each person who is doing what in which place.

At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone finally began to think that the commission itself might be a fabrication, and some people might also ask whether they should leave.

Among them, Du Ruo was the first to confess his identity as a detective, and then the others also confessed their true reasons for visiting.

At this point in time, Baizhou has disappeared.

Everyone became more and more suspicious that Baizhou might be the mastermind pretending to be the client, so everyone started looking for him everywhere, but found nothing.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Sumu noticed something strange at the door of the sword dojo at the end of the outer corridor. He tried to open the door, but the door could only move slightly and could not be fully opened.

Within the next thirty minutes, Du Ruo, Eight Ghosts, and Shuijingshan appeared in the outer corridor one after another.

Thirty minutes passed while they each explained the situation.

At this time, May rain and fog appear.

What happened next was what they all experienced. When everyone tried to open the door, there was a noise inside.

Everyone decisively decided to break into the secret room and turn on the lights. They found a man lying in the middle of the room with a Japanese sword stabbed on his back.

"The sound that came from the room at that time must be the sound of Mr. Hakushu being assassinated and falling, right?"
