Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

The next morning.

Kogoro Mouri, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?"

Outside the door, Shimokasa Honami shouted, "Mr. Maori, something terrible has happened! Teacher Sufang is dead!"

Upon hearing that someone had died, and it was the person who wrote the warning letter yesterday, Kogoro Mouri suddenly woke up, got up and opened the door.

Maori Kogoro asked: "What's going on?"

Shimokasa Honami was so frightened that her pupils lost focus: "It was the Cursed Mask! The Cursed Mask killed Teacher Sufang!"

At this time, Kitagawa Taki also came out of the room. He took out a spiritual heart talisman and stuffed it into Shimogawa Honami's hand, saying, "Ms. Honami, take us directly to see it."

The Lingxin Talisman took effect, and Shimogasa Honami calmed down a lot. She looked at Kitagawa Taki curiously and said "Okay".

Shimokasa Honami took Kitagawa Taki and Mori Kogoro through the mask hall.

Maori Kogoro saw the empty counter and exclaimed: "All of Xiaobul's masks disappeared?!"

Shimokasa Honami explained, "Those masks are in Teacher Sufang's room."

When they arrived at the door of Sufang Hongzi on the third floor on the west side, they found that Katagiri Masanori and Shimokasa Minaho were also there.

Shimokasa Honami was a little sad. "Minaho and I knocked on Teacher Sufang's door as usual, but there was no response. We happened to run into Mr. Katagiri who had just gotten up, so we asked him to check on the situation. Unexpectedly..."

Kogoro Mouri walked up and tried, but the door was locked and could not be opened at all.

So he stood on a stool and looked inside through the air vent that had been smashed by Katagiri Masanori.

Seeing the scene inside, Kogoro Mouri took a breath.

Sufang Hongzi died tragically on the bed, with a lot of blood everywhere, and Xiaobul's masks were scattered all over the room, densely packed and very creepy.

Maori Kogoro turned around and asked, "Have you called the police?"

Shimokasa Minaho replied, "I have reported it."

Maori Kogoro asked again: "There is a door inside, can we go in from there?"

Shimokasa Honami said, "That door was sealed a long time ago."

Beichuan Taki interrupted and said, "Brother Maori, come down first, I'll break the door open."

Kogoro Mouri got down from the stool and stood aside.

Kitagawa Taki pushed hard but failed to push it open.

He released his spiritual sense and scanned the room, only to discover that there was a fist-sized padlock inside.

Beichuan Taki was speechless. This Sufang Hongzi must have done something wrong. Why didn't she just lock the door? Why did she have to use such a big lock?

Then, he used all his strength to push the door open.

Kitagawa Taki and Maori Kogoro went into the room to check it out.

Su Fang Hongzi was stabbed in the neck and was dead beyond death.

"Here's a piece of paper." Maori Kogoro picked up a piece of paper from the ground, his expression changed, "My curse is complete!"

Kitagawa Taki took it and looked at it. The words on it were also spelled out using words from the newspaper.

Maori Kogoro was a little uncertain for a moment and asked, "Brother Kitagawa, this is not a curse, right?"

Kitagawa Taki glanced at the masks in the room. "These masks do have curses on them, but Sufang Hongzi wasn't killed by a curse. Someone is playing tricks on her."

When Kogoro Maori heard what Kitagawa Taki said, he was startled and ran out of the house.

Maori Kogoro huddled at the door and poked his head out. "So, this is a locked-room murder case."

"That's right." Kitagawa Taki walked out of the room and looked at the twin maids hugging each other, "Ms. Honami, and Miss Minaho, please go and call everyone else over!"

"Yes." Shimogasa Honami responded and left with Shimogasa Honami.

Maori Kogoro asked curiously, "Brother Beichuan, do you think it was done by someone in the villa?"

A smile appeared on Beichuan Taki's lips, "I think I know who the murderer is."

"What?" Kogoro Mouri was shocked. He had no clue at all. How could Kitagawa Taki know the murderer?

Katagiri Masaki on the side also looked at Kitagawa Taki in surprise.

Masanori Katagiri knows that Kogoro Mori is a famous detective, but isn't Mr. Kitagawa an exorcist?

Maori Kogoro asked anxiously: "Brother Beichuan, who is the murderer?"

Beichuan Taki kept it a secret, "Let's wait until everyone arrives before we talk."

Not long after, the two returned to the scene with the remaining people, except for Aichuan Fuuya.

Shimokasa Honami said anxiously, "Mr. Kitagawa, Mr. Aikawa's door can't be opened either, and there's no response even when I call him!"

"Ok?"

Everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.

The group followed the two maids to Ai Kawana Touya's room on the first floor on the east side.

Kitagawa Taki broke open the door, turned on the light and saw Aichuan Fuyuya lying on the bed with a ferocious face and his right hand covering his chest.

Maori Kogoro stepped forward to check and shook his head, "He's dead."

The two murders that occurred in succession chilled the hearts of those present.

Maori Kogoro speculated: "Mr. Aichuan seems to have died of a heart attack. We can only find out the details after the police arrive."

……

Not long after, Inspector Megure arrived at the scene.

After understanding some basic circumstances, Inspector Megure analyzed: "The criminal must have entered the room after the victim opened the door himself!"

"Not necessarily." Maori Kogoro interrupted, "Inspector, Ms. Sufang has been suffering from insomnia recently and has been taking sleeping pills."

Takagi Wataru understood: "I see, that's why the victim showed no signs of struggling."

Inspector Megure pinched his chin and thought: "Since the victim took sleeping pills and locked the door, how did the criminal get in?"

Maori Kogoro suddenly had an idea: "I know, Inspector!"

Inspector Megure asked expectantly, "Really?"

Maori Kogoro said: "The criminal must have made an appointment with Ms. Sufang in advance, took the opportunity to make her unconscious with sleeping pills, and then moved her to the bed and killed her."

Upon hearing this, Takagi Wataru asked a soul-searching question: "Detective Mori, how did the criminal lock the door?"

If it's just about locking the door, it's not difficult to do it using a fishing line or something.

The key is another large padlock, which can't be locked except from the inside of the room.

When Kogoro Mouri was asked this question, he immediately became dispirited.
