Chapter 345 The Death of Fang Bie

Chapter 343 The Death of Fang Bie

"You're saying Shinichi Kudo is the murderer? That can't be right..."

Fang almost vomited blood.

If Shinichi Kudo is the murderer in a case, it would be as shocking as Captain America saying "Hail Hydra" in the Marvel universe.

Fang Bie didn't feel anything.

He even learned about this from a news article posted by someone else on a website.

He's not a die-hard Marvel fan, and he's too lazy to even look up the comics.

The only physical copy of a superhero comic he ever bought was DC's "Batman: The Killing Joke".

But that's for collection purposes.

At this moment, Shinichi Kudo also realized what was happening: "You're saying I'm the murderer, where's the evidence?"

Fang Bie secretly rolled his eyes.

If someone asks this question, doesn't that mean they've already admitted to being the murderer?

As expected, Su Mulin said calmly, "When I called this afternoon, Yagami Light wasn't dead, and we arrived at the same time. So the result is already obvious: his time of death was between when we arrived here and before we found his body."

"And during this period, you were the only one who had the time to commit the crime."

Shinichi Kudo: "..."

What she said made so much sense that I was speechless.

"I'm bored, I'm going back to rest."

Shinichi Kudo turned and walked upstairs: "We'll talk about it when the police arrive tomorrow after the snow stops."

No one stopped him.

However, Su Mulin leaned close to Fang Bie's ear and whispered, "There's more than one murderer."

Fang paused for a moment, then remained silent.

Afterwards, everyone naturally dispersed, but before resting, Su Mulin also instructed Liu Mang and the others to stay in one room and not separate.

That evening in the guest room, Fang Bie finally asked the question: "Xiao Lin, how did you know there was more than one killer?"

Leaning against the bed, Su Mulin tilted her head and explained, "It's the same story you told me. In this locked-room mystery scenario, if someone is alone after a murder, they're basically going to be the next victim."

Seeing that Fang Bie didn't speak, she continued, "Then you see, Shinichi Kudo is the murderer, and tonight he's the only one in the room. If another murder happens tonight, he'll definitely be the one who dies."

Fang Bie: "."

He was speechless.

After a long pause, he sighed and ruffled Su Mulin's long, straight black hair: "Little Lin, you're acting a bit unlike yourself today."

Indeed, in the past, Su Mulin would never have stood up and said such a long thing, let alone accused Shinichi Kudo of being the murderer.

She would simply stand quietly to the side and watch Fang Bie's performance.

If Fang Bie hadn't spoken up, she definitely wouldn't have said anything, but she would have been even more wary at night.

Moreover, although she has a free and aloof personality, she is not a cold-blooded creature.

If someone had actually died, she wouldn't be in this relaxed yet strangely excited state.

The young lady twirled the end of her hair with her fingers: "You're overthinking it. I'm no different than usual."

Fang Bie: "."

Okay, goodnight.

"Good night."

Several hours later, in the early hours of the morning.

All sounds are silent.

That is impossible.

The howling wind and blizzard outside the villa rattled the glass in the windows.

But the villa was pitch black, and no one made a sound.

But this silence was soon broken.

Suddenly, a black figure, identical to the one in Fang Bie's previous life from "Detective Conan," appeared in the living room on the first floor.

With the faint light filtering through the window from outside, he could make out the appearance of the living room.

Then, without saying a word, he quietly went up to the second floor.

Finally, he stopped in front of a guest room.

Then he grinned menacingly, his white teeth gleaming menacingly.

He then fumbled around in his pocket for a moment and pulled out a key.

After pausing for a few seconds, he inserted the key into the lock and turned it gently.

then

The door opened silently.

There was no light inside either.

He glanced around a few times, then slipped inside in a flash.

After that, the guest room door was closed.

Using the same dim light, he groped his way into the house.

This is a small guest room.

Apart from the bathroom on the right-hand side of the entrance, the room only contains a double bed, a table, and a few chairs.

There is currently one person lying on the bed.

The little black man checked the interior of the room.

He walked to the bedside and held up the long, thin object that was more than ten centimeters long.

Then he walked around the bed to a chair by the table and sat down. He then placed the long, thin object he was holding on the table and lit the fuse at the top.

Yes, it is a candle.

As the candle lit, someone suddenly complained, "Why is it taking so long to get a candle?"

Let's call Xiao Hei "Xiao Hei A" for now.

Xiao Hei A removed the black stockings she had bought during the day from her head and explained, "I had no choice. The candles are on the first floor, and I had to go downstairs around the young lady's room to get them. I couldn't disturb her. Let's get down to business."

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

Then Little Black B asked, "What do we do now? Should we stick to the original plan?"

Xiao Hei A sighed: "What else can we do? We clearly agreed that I would be the first murderer, but who knows how Kudo-kun became the murderer out of nowhere."

"Director Fang, I'm sorry, there was a problem on my end."

Xiao Hei C sincerely apologized.

Okay, he is Shinichi Kudo.

Xiao Hei A, the person who just came downstairs to get candles while wearing stockings and cosplaying as Xiao Hei, is Fang Bie.

There's no need to elaborate on the identities of the other members of the group.

I understand everything I understand.

"It has nothing to do with you. We just didn't expect Xiaolin to do things the way she always does."

Fang Bie said helplessly, "Logically speaking, given her personality, she shouldn't be the one to step forward and identify the murderer. What exactly happened today?"

Liu Mang interrupted him: "Old Fang, that's not the problem right now. What are you going to do about your proposal ceremony?"

According to their usual routine, they would spend the first night quietly, then Light Yagami would arrive late the next day, and then the "murder case" would begin the following night.

Then Fang Bie stepped forward as the detective, loudly announcing that he had obtained the key clues, and in the end he was "killed" by the "murderer".

Before he died, he said he had something to say to the young lady.

After tricking the young lady into crying, he then took out the ring to surprise her.

Who knew that something would go wrong on the very first day!

Light Yagami did not come today, but how did his "corpse," which had been prepared in advance, end up outside?

This forced everyone to follow the young lady's accusations.

This is why the members of the Detective Club and Fang Bie didn't investigate the body first.

Because that wasn't a corpse at all! It was just a prop they had prepared!

They had no choice but to distract the young lady while quickly dealing with that thing.

The mannequin is now lying on the bed.

Yes, the one lying on the bed in this guest room is that "corpse".

When Yoshikage Kira contacted Fang Bie to invite him on a trip, Fang Bie had a sudden inspiration and told them about his marriage proposal plan.

So they had everything arranged in advance.

Even this villa has been renovated!

Just like the variety show "Who's the Murderer" in Fang Bie's previous life, the walls of this room are actually hollow.

There is actually another layer of space outside the wall, where many members of the film crew are hiding.

Then, countless cameras and video cameras were placed throughout the villa, achieving virtually no blind spots.

The entire Fangmu Film and Television production team actually came.

Employees from other departments also came.

Of course, they live elsewhere.

However, Fang Bie kept all of this from Miss Su.

This is the marriage proposal video that Fang prepared.

So when the young lady wanted to take a shower in the bedroom just now, Fang Bie stopped her.

The reason is that it is unsafe.

However, there are actually no cameras or video cameras in the bathroom.

Otherwise, what would we do when we need to use the toilet?

But who knew that an accident would happen?

Then, in the dim candlelight, Fang Bie's voice was low and deep: "By the way, why did this unexpected situation occur? Which idiot released that prop dummy ahead of time?"

"It might be a staff member's mistake."

Liu Mang replied.

He then added, "But now the plan is completely ruined. What do we do next? Should we get Kudo to admit he's the murderer, and then pin the blame on a minor religion? Like the Eternal Heaven or something?"

"That's part of their culture, and I don't know anything about the Eternal Heaven. I've only heard of the Happy Heaven."

Fang rejected his suggestion.

"What should we do then?"

Liu Mang was out of ideas.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Bie said, "Here's what we'll do: tomorrow morning, any one of you will discover that Kudo-kun is also dead, and then everyone will continue the deduction. I'll say that this was a joint crime committed by two people, one killed Yagami Light, and the other killed Kudo."

Everyone agreed, but Wu Kai raised a question: "Old Fang, who was the final killer?"

"Conan, I'll decide." Fang Bie made the decision immediately. "Conan is a child, so generally no one will suspect him. Even if Rin still wants to be the detective tomorrow, she's unlikely to guess that Conan, being a child, would be the murderer. I can just take back control then."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yoshikage Kira asked, "Director Fang, what about the technique? How was it resolved?"

"Let's use a locked-room murder case," Fang Bie decided. "The bedroom door handles are all the standard kind, so we can just put a stack of books in the room."

This is a very common escape room technique.

That is, you stack a pile of books on a cloth, and then the stack of books is positioned right under the doorknob. When you quickly pull the cloth away from the outside, the books inside will be wedged into the doorknob.

Even if the door isn't locked, it can't be opened from the outside.

This creates the illusion of a locked room.

If you force your way through the door, the books behind it will naturally scatter all over the floor.

The guest room they had selected for Shinichi Kudo in advance already had a bookshelf filled with books.

No one had any objections, so the decision was made happily.

After the meeting, the few black-clad men tiptoed back to their rooms.

Fang Bie also quietly returned to his bedroom with the young lady.

However, upon entering the room, he glanced at the bed.

Suddenly, he seemed to freeze in place, his whole body losing its warmth.

Because the person lying in bed wasn't the young lady.

No, I should say she's still a young lady.

She was still wearing the young lady's white turtleneck sweater and slim-fit jeans.
