"There's no rush!" Xiao Wentai said, wearing that self-satisfied expression on his face. "I want to hear from Ran Wei about what you were doing on the day of the incident."
Ran Wei's face turned slightly green as he exclaimed, "Are you suspecting me?"
"Not suspicion, just trying to fully understand the specific circumstances at that time!"
"Fine! I'll tell you! I left the dormitory building around six o'clock that day. The dormitory manager, elder Ma, can vouch for me because I greeted him when I left."
"Even so, you could have sneaked back into the dormitory after 7:20 when elder Ma was asleep. That doesn't seem like much of an alibi," Xiao Wentai replied.
Ran Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "After I left the apartment complex, I wandered around outside. Later, I remembered the event at Beijiao Park, so I called those two to come out and join me. On the way, I realized I forgot my student ID, which is why I asked Sun Lang to go get it."
"You've said a lot, but it seems you really can't provide an alibi for the time between 7:44 and after eight o'clock?"
"I can't provide one! But I am definitely not the murderer!"
Fang Keyu pondered for a long time, his eyes fixed on the Glass Sliding Door across from him. Suddenly, he spoke up, "I think I've solved the mystery of the locked room."
Everyone was taken aback and quickly asked how he figured it out.
Fang Keyu slowly said, "Have you noticed the two Glass Sliding Doors between the balcony and the inner room? These sliding doors use a Hook Lock that can only be locked from the inside."
There has always been a misconception that the murderer opened the Dormitory Entrance before moving the body inside. However, if we consider this, we cannot explain the method used to create the locked room.
If we can shift our focus to this sliding door, everything becomes clear.
Outside on the balcony, we could use a Small Soft Thread to slip through the gap between the two Glass Sliding Doors, then loop it around the handle of the Hook Lock inside. By closing the doors, a gentle pull from outside would lock them securely. Finally, with a slight downward tug, the thread could slide off the handle, successfully creating a locked room.
I believe the murderer transferred the body from the balcony to Room 716 and then used this method to create the locked room.”
Xiao Wentai was speechless and said, “How is that possible? The murderer would have had to carry the body over the balcony in just over a minute and set up such a locked room—there's no way they could manage that! Moreover, the victim was overweight; carrying him over the balcony would be incredibly difficult!”
Fang Keyu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. “Thinking about it this way, it seems the murderer must have entered through the front door. So… oh, I understand now! It’s possible that what Feng Zitian saw in Room 715 was not Sun Lang’s body at all, but rather a disguise by the murderer.
The body may never have been moved because the actual crime scene wasn’t Room 715; it was in Room 716!”
Poor Xiao Wentai was completely at a loss for words this time.
Everyone admired Fang Keyu's extraordinary imagination.
“Regardless of how we look at it, there’s no doubt that Jiao Tengyi is definitely the murderer.”
Fang Kehui's words finally broke the heavy atmosphere in the room.
