Chapter 17 The Disappearing Sherlock

"...If this is the case, it can explain some problems, such as why there is such an uninterrupted food supply, that is, because we cannot starve to death, we must maintain sufficient physical strength and energy to design one murder after another." Ziliang said.

Marple frowned: "But there are still many questions that cannot be explained. For example, how will this rule be conveyed to us then? Also, why are each of our windows in different scenarios? It is meaningless to do so. The most important point is where those fishing lines and the ties that strangled Kindaichi to death came from? If the resentment house is a killer, they usually carry things that can kill people, but the fishing line does not look like things that are just carried with you."

"This is indeed a problem," Ziliang said again: "However, I have solved these problems."

"What?" Marple was stunned.

"I said, I have solved it." Ziliang said again: "First of all, the question of 'how the rules are passed'...it's the second question you mentioned. That is to say, the scenes outside each of us are different, just to convey information to us. Since there is only one person who knows who the murderer is, it is best to pass information only for one person to see. To put it simply, every time the murderer is tracked down, the scene outside the window of his bedroom will change a little bit, so that he can understand that he needs to murder the murderer."

"This...if you explain it hard, it seems to be able to explain it, but isn't this a bit far-fetched? The previous killing methods can also find murder weapons, but this explanation is really not evidence at all, and it's entirely up to guessing." Marple said again.

"Who said there is no evidence?" Ziliang responded: "I saw the information with my own eyes..."

"What? Where?"

"In Kudo Shinichi's room..." Ziliang said, and pointed at Shinichi's room.

"Ah? No, we checked this villa during the day. If there is any information, it will definitely be discovered... Could it be that the information appears out of thin air on the window?"

"It's not that it's 'appearing out of thin air', but this information cannot be seen during the day, and can only be seen at night, when Shinichi himself is in the bedroom."

When Ziliang said these words, Marpur and Moriarty had already walked into Shinichi's room.

Shinichi's room is no different from other people's rooms. The scene outside the window is a bustling street with tall buildings opposite. From a perspective, it should be from the height of more than ten floors.

"This... doesn't seem to be info," said Mrs. Marple.

At this time, Ziliang also walked in: "Oh, I forgot to say that when I came in just now, the lights were turned off here."

As he said that, he closed the bedroom with a "click". Instantly, the bedroom fell into darkness, and this time, that message appeared on the window.

Well, it appeared on the window of the building opposite the street. Since the lights were turned on in the room before and there were serious mirror reflections on the glass, it was a bit unreal.

Now that the lights are turned off, you can see them carefully. It is on the balcony window on the two-story balcony of the tall building opposite, and it says:

【or】

【youdead】

Marple raised his eyebrows: "Haha, I'm really negligent. The information was not written in this villa, but in the building opposite..."

"Then if you say this, it is easy to guess the information in other rooms. It is okay to ask someone to raise a sign on the snow, soil, trees, and even the lawn. When a person finds the murderer before his feet and receives the information to kill the murderer, then the person will naturally think that the previous person also received the same information and chose to murder the superior person. In this way, the game can continue with purpose..." Moriarty said: "But... there is another problem. If this happens, how did the first person die? In the event that nothing happens, it is impossible to kill people directly because of a message. Also, we were all amnesia at that time, and Kanedaichi was still outside the house. So did Kanedaichi poison Inspector Polo? But... Polo was not dead at that time. So no matter what, there must be an opportunity to let a person do it first."

Ziliang nodded: "An opportunity? Is it not easy to deal with? I guess, just before we lost our memory, we were just a group of people sitting around this dining table, listening to someone explaining the rules to us..."

"Someone?"

"Yes, someone, or a group of people... this table can put at least 20 people, so there were more than a dozen people gathered here, chatting, drinking tea, and explain to us that we would lock up here and harm the game later. A few people would have to die and kill a few people... Isn't this very simple?"

"I don't think I can still have the heart to drink tea when talking about such things." Marple said with a frown.

"It's easy to drink tea or not. Anyway, if we had already started this game before we lost our memory, it seems that it could be explained why Kaneda Isai died outside, because the first deceased at that time had already been booked, and there were many ways to book it. For example, we played a game on this table, such as playing cards, and then Kaneda Isai planned to let Inspector Polo lose, and the punishment for losing should be the cyanide capsule he ate. In this way, the first deceased and the first murderer appeared, and then, the second murder designed by the house of resentment... In this way, everything was connected."

"Okay, it's logically connected, but... it's not clear yet. Where do the tools for killing people come from? At least I think if the resentful house really wants to kill someone in advance, she won't have a low-end thing like "ticket ties" in her pocket, right?"

Ziliang also nodded: "Indeed, the method of killing Kitanichi was almost temporarily thought of in this villa, so... where did those tools for killing come from...well... I haven't thought of it yet."

"Ah?" Marple was stunned.

"Why are you so surprised? I don't have any superpowers. It's normal to have unexpected things. If you don't agree, you can find Sherlock for me now." Ziliang yelled to Mrs. Marple very unceremoniously.

Just then...
