After meeting up with each other except for Chage, who is already dead, we went to the waiting area in the lobby. Everyone except me, Mifune, Kirigiri, and Nanamura had their hiking bags with the huge sum of money firmly in their arms. we sat down on the sofas with tired expressions after having experienced terror.
My reunion with Kirigiri was an anticlimactic one. "Are you okay?"
"Yes"
Just two sentences.
Because I saw the corpse earlier, I'm now in a heavy mood, and Kirigiri's expression about that incident is also very serious, no wonder our conversation couldn't pick up.
Nanamuras told them that Chage had been killed.
Nanamura didn't want to explain more, so I told them the details instead of him.
"The person disappeared into the empty room?" Minase had an unbelieving expression.
"I also saw someone enter that empty room. It's true." Mifune said.
"Why did the murderer enter the empty room." "I don't know."
I shook my head.
"See, so it's true!" Minase raised his voice a little excitedly. "Detectives aren't useful at all. If you don't have the 'Detective Rights', your own personal safety isn't guaranteed, and this murder has proved that."
"How can you say that..."
I thought about how to refute him. However, I couldn't say anything. "It's true that I did fail this time."
Nanamura was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
Even though he confessed his failure bluntly, his attitude was still cocky. Does that mean he's the fastest at regaining his composure too?
"Mifune-san, I have a question. I wonder if it's okay to ask it." Kirigiri suddenly opened her mouth.
"Wh-what?"
"Did anyone come in or out of the rooms during your time in the corridor?"
"Well... Imma think about it from the beginning, wait a sec... First, Detective-san, and Samidare-san entered the empty room, right? Then after what should have been almost 20 minutes... Detective- san came out of the empty room alone, so I called out 'Detective- san' because he told me to shout the name of anyone coming out."
"Then what?"
"Detective-san entered the next room, which is the room where the man with the baseball cap was staying in. But after almost two minutes, he came out and went back to the empty room.
Samidare-san came out of the empty room, and the two of them went into the room where the man with the baseball cap stayed in."
