May be..........?

This conversation with the lawyer went very smoothly. Soon, the lawyer left and Max was also sent back to his cell.

Now, the action to save his own life has already taken the first step.

Next, is the second step, which is to prove that he didn't kill anyone.

This is much more difficult than the first step, because until now, Max himself is not sure how Drake was killed .

All the evidence points to him, only the point about [dust on the crack of the door] is somewhat unreasonable. But with just this thing alone, there is definitely no way to remove the suspicion.

What's more, the shelf life of this clue has passed a long time ago, and there is no way to verify it now. And it's impossible if you want to survive just by relying on your own confession. Thus he needed a more conclusive evidence.

"There must be a chance! Definitely!"

Max said to himself, and had an idea. He asked for a notebook and pen from the prison guard who didn't think it was a big deal and provided him with a notebook and pen very easily.

Afterwards Max started to list out various plausible situations before striking off those that didn't fit in the situation at all.

After all, a famous detective once said that when all the impossible is removed then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

1.The scene may have been cleaned up.

" Has the scene been cleaned up? The possibility seems unlikely. After all, the door was locked by the deceased himself, and no one could come in."

2.The murderer probably didn't go out through the main entrance ?

" Not through the main entrance? This should not be possible, as it was stated in the case file that the entire warehouse is closed shut. Except for the main entrance, there is not even a window. Although the police in this world is a bit unreliable, but they are not complete fools either. If there is a secret door, they should not miss it. "

3. Maybe the door is fake?

"Fake door! This idea is interesting!"

Max seemed to really have the feeling of 'a flash of inspiration'. But after thinking about it again, he dismissed it. Since after the police arrived, they checked everything inside and out.

That door is the most common warehouse door. If there are signs of tampering or disassembly on the bearings and door leaf, it will definitely be found out, besides, the dead man named Drake locked the door the night before. So if there is something wrong with the door, he should have found out too!

Thinking about it this way, the door should be fine.

And the aura Max felt just now faded unfortunately. But Max was not discouraged, and continued on to the next points.

4. May be the lock is prepared in advance?

"A lock that was prepared in advance? Was the lock [Drake] touched on the ground in the middle of the night prepared in advance? This is a good inference. For example, the lock is a special lock , that is , modified. And as long as a special method is used, the lock can be opened from the outside, similar to the one with a remote control switch.

However, it should not be easy to manufacture this kind of lock.

Ummm, if you explain it forcefully, you can barely explain it .

So, the murderer used this lock as bait, came in in the middle of the night, killed Drake, and then blamed me for it ?

But if this is the case, then there will be a point that is difficult to manipulate.

That is... all the plans , must be based on the premise of Drake picking up the door lock himself, and then locking the door from the inside.

Then how can the real murderer guarantee that Drake will definitely touch the lock in that tense situation? You know, the warehouse doesn't even have a window, it's completely dark inside.

Moreover, one has to make sure that Drake has the courage to lock the door.

  In case Drake is also scared and he too shrinks to the corner . What happens then , isn't the whole plan in vain?"

Thinking of this, Max shook his head again, and then continued to work on the other points.

...

....

...

.....

After a while , Max had already crossed out a lot of plausible methods and finally only one point was left, but it was almost impossible.

14. May be Drake is not Drake, someone pretended to be Drake and joined other people to mislead everyone. Afterwards , the fake Drake hid, leaving behind the real Drake's body ?

Max was taken aback!

"Drake is not Drake?!!!"

However even he himself couldn't believe it, let alone others. But even after he thought very hard, still this was the only point left.

"Drake is not Drake."

"Drake is not Drake!!"

Max stood up and paced back and forth in the cell, repeating these words over and over again.

In the world before his rebirth, there was a famous manga called "Detective Conan". Every time the protagonist of the comic finds some important clues, there is always a cold light flashing from the protagonist's head at an angle of 45 degrees above his head.

Max had always felt that this kind of picture was too exaggerated.

But just now, he was able to experience the sudden enlightenment, as if a cold ray passed through his head.

For a moment, he seemed to have connected many things together.

" First of all, why would I suffer a sap in the middle of the night!

If it is really a loan shark, shouldn't you just see the debtor to confirm whether he can pay back the money? Even if you want to catch them , you can't just come up and ignore them, directly knocking unconscious with a stick. If someone has money to pay back, wouldn't your stick be a bad thing?

Therefore, there is a great possibility that the reason why these people knocked him out was not to collect debts, but to have other purposes.

Also, that's why they locked me up with Drake.

Although it is reasonable to lock them together, after all, a place like a warehouse is perfect for cleaning up a few people who are in debt.

But it was pitch black, there was no exit, and there was only one gate. This kind of environment was simply prepared to create a 'secret room'.

By the way, there is also the hypothesis of [the door lock is fake] .

At the very beginning, I rejected this idea, because if Drake did not lock the door, then the warehouse would not form a secret room.

But what if Drake is not Drake.

That's right, as long as Drake is not Drake, all these problems will be solved, and the secret room will no longer be a secret room! "

The more Max thought about it, the clearer his thoughts became.

" But there are still many questions that have not been solved, such as why the murder weapon is an iron chisel, and why the dust is thicker in front of the door.

And the most crucial, evidence! I must find evidence to remove the suspicion "

With so many questions, trying to solve them all in such a short period of time sounds like a fantasy, but now Max had boundless confidence.
