Chapter 4 The Leaves in the Gap

After listening to the senior's words, Kazuko also focused her eyes on the table placed askew at the end of the bed, but she couldn't see the doorway after looking around. "Is there something wrong with the table?"

"The problem is not the table itself, but its placement." As a person who has lived alone in a rented house since he was in college, the senior has a lot of experience in the placement of furniture. "Like this kind of small room with regular shape and small area, the bed, table and other items will be placed against the wall, which is neat and out of the way. But look at the position of this table, it is placed at the end of the bed, one end It is against the wall, and the other end is against the outside of the bed, forming a triangular space with the wall and the end of the bed. This is unreasonable, and no one would place a table like this."

It seemed that he did not agree with the senior's analysis, and Kazuko's expression did not relax, but seemed to be caught in a deeper entanglement. "I understand what you said. If there are still people living in this room, the table should naturally not be placed like this. But this room is now abandoned, and the random placement of furniture does not explain the problem."

The corner of his mouth curled up in a confident arc, as if the senior had expected Hezi to retort like this, he signaled Xiaobai not to speak, and he played the role of guiding the junior.

"It seems that you also agree that the table should not be where it is now, right?"

"Yes." Hezi nodded.

"Then why does the table appear where it is now?"

"It was moved over."

"Why would anyone move the table?"

"Maybe it's the need for moving. I think it blocks the way. In short, it hinders the progress of the moving work."

"Then, the problem will come back." The senior paused and continued to explain, "Since the original location of the table hinders the moving work, it shows that it was placed in a very inappropriate place, and someone will get in the way Is the table placed somewhere? Taking a step back, even if it was really placed in a strange place, in order to move smoothly, it should be placed against the wall instead of being improper as it is now.”

"Maybe the person in charge of the move didn't think too much about it, and moved the table there at will." In fact, Hezi had already vaguely agreed with the senior's statement in her heart, but she didn't admit it immediately. This was definitely not intentional provocation, but She hoped that the senior's explanation could be more impeccable.

"Since you want to move the table, why not do it once and for all? If it is placed at a slant, it may cause trouble to the moving work. You see, the corner of the table is facing outwards. If someone accidentally bumps into it, wouldn't it be very bad?"

"So, this table will appear in this state, not because of the move, but because someone deliberately made it later. I understand it this way, right?"

"Yes, it's the same as I thought." The senior was extremely proud of himself for convincing Kazuko.However, the position of the table represents the hidden reason behind it, which he still can't figure out for a while.Before he could open his mouth, Hezi asked a question with a tacit understanding.

"What does the position of the table have to do with criminal behavior?"

"Of course it's for hiding. We can't enter the room, we can only look out from the window. From our perspective, the triangular gap formed between the table, the bed and the wall becomes a blind spot, and we can't see it at all." What's inside." As if to prove his point, Xiao Bai even stood on tiptoe.As a boy with a height of 1.8 meters, he did this action unexpectedly a little cute.

Walking from one side to the other, Kazuko and the senior switched positions to observe. Sure enough, as Xiaobai said, the situation inside the triangular area cannot be seen from outside the house.In other words, they were wrong to think that this room was in a state of unobstructed view at the beginning, and there was a triangular blind area in the room.

"An outsider moved the table and created a blind area. This is probably to hide something. Something related to a crime...ah! It's a stolen item!" Hezi clapped his hands and inadvertently took out the bag containing cotton candy There was a harsh sound.She hurriedly put her hands together to express her apology, and then looked at the other two for advice.

"It may also be a stolen item." The senior added.

"Is it something stolen..." Xiaobai took the potato chips but didn't put them into his mouth for a long time, thinking about the possibility of this situation repeatedly in his mind.After a while, he integrated the scattered clues in his head and came to a conclusion. "No, I don't think it's a stolen item."

"Why?" The senior and Hezi said in unison.

"First of all, there is the problem of the location of the house itself. This is a deep mountain. Although thieves and robbers will try their best to hide their illegal gains, will they hide their things in this kind of mountain forest where it is easy to get lost? Besides, how did they know that there is a house where they can hide things?"

"How can we guess the thoughts of thieves and robbers. Maybe they are really crazy enough to hide things in such inaccessible places. After all, the more remote, the safer. As for how he knows that there is a house here... probably he Been here before and found it by accident.”

While raising his hand, Hezi also said, "I agree with the senior."

"Okay, this point is really not enough to deny the conclusion just now, it doesn't matter, I still have evidence."

"Evidence? It should be a hypothesis, right?" The senior pointed out Xiaobai's mistake in wording with a critical attitude of correcting papers.

Not caring about the hippie smiling face of the senior, Xiaobai expressed his second point of view. "Whether it's a burglar or a robber, they want to take away their illegal gains in the end, but what is the state of the house in front of us? It's a secret room. We can't enter this room. We can't enter, and neither can the person who hides things. Enter. They hide things but can't take them away, does this conform to their psychology and behavior?"

"They might have the key." The senior blurted out.

"No, the one who has the key is the owner of the house. We have switched the settings, and the one who enters the room is an outsider. Senior, you lost your memory again." For this senior who is sometimes smart and sometimes confused, Kazuko really has endless thoughts.

"What if the person hiding the things is the owner of the house?"

"That wouldn't account for the act of wiping off fingerprints."

"But if the owner of the house is a criminal, this behavior can be explained."

"No, it still doesn't make sense. The house belongs to the owner of the house. No matter whether he is a criminal or not, it is normal to have his fingerprints here. There is no need for him to wipe them off."

"Okay. But what if the outsider got the key from the owner of the house? Either way, he got the key."

"That's not right either. If an outsider has the key, he doesn't need to open the window, and he doesn't need to wipe off the fingerprints on the window."

Seeing the two people who brought the question back to the beginning, Xiaobai chewed the potato chips.
