	"The truth is that Hongou had been to the site herself and wrote the script based on her observations. Nakajou said so. If Hongou had really intended for the window to be used as Haba had described it, and assuming that Irisu is right about Hongou being a meticulous person, then she would have requested the filming division to prepare for some lubricant to be used on the window ~~for~~ the ~~victim discovery~~ scene. I do not believe she would have simply ignored such defects in the building.		"The truth is that Hongou had been to the site herself and wrote the script based on her observations. Nakajou said so.

	"Then, what other possibilities are there available? These include the killer not being present when the victim was killed, or the murder still taking place when the victim was found. To put it simply, the victim was killed by some mechanics, or he was quickly killed without anyone else knowing. Do you get it now?"		"Then, what other possibilities are there available? These include the killer not being present when the victim was killed, or the murder still taking place when the victim was found. To put it simply, the victim was killed by some mechanics, or he was quickly killed without anyone else knowing. Do you get it now?"

			Yeah, I get it.

			Though there were also people who did not get it, especially Chitanda, who has hardly read any detective fiction. She raised her hands apologetically,

			"Umm, excuse me, but could you please elaborate further?"

			Haba seemed pretty pleased with Chitanda's request, and nodded as he began explaining cheerfully,

			"Mechanics basically means the room was rigged with some sort of booby trap, which ended up killing Kaitou. For example, it could be a bow gun or poisoned needle. Being quickly killed without anyone else knowing means Kaitou was still alive the moment the door was unlocked, and the murder took place discreetly during this brief moment when everyone went to confirm whether Kaitou was dead or not."

			Chitanda gave out an unsavoury gasp.

			"Anyway, these two possibilities are rejected as well as they have the same flaw, do you know what that is?"

			Haba turned to Ibara as though goading her to respond. Ibara raised her brows indicating she knew what he was up to. She didn't need to answer but still decided to,

			"Yes, it's the condition of the body, right?"

			"...... Exactly. It is indeed interesting to speak with someone who gets it."

			Though he was being unreasonable, I sort of get what he's doing, and I laughed in my thoughts. Haba cleared his throats and said,

			"The condition of the body, in order words, the theory that Kaitou could have his arm severed and killed by a machine or killed quickly upon the room being entered is rejected. First, for such a machine to kill him with such force, it would have been discovered right away. Second, as a strong force would be needed to kill him, killing him discreetly under everyone's noses was just not possible.

			This mean...

			It is difficult for the sealed room created by Hongou to be entered from the front."

			Haba finished his explanation, sat deeper into his chair and took a breath. He soon resumed his extremely confident attitude and turned to me,

			"You, Oreki-kun, was it? What do you think of this deduction?"

			At that moment, I had really wanted to tell him, ''It was great, can we go now?'' But I get the feeling Haba is purposely saving the best of his deduction for last. He probably had a standard answer prepared in advance no matter what I answered. But as I remained silent, he made a forced smile, as though gesturing to me in an attempt to get the flow moving, ''Hurry up and say you don't get it!''

			As expected, he made a scoffing laugh and raised his voice,

			"No, this won't do! But this isn't impossible, right?"

			He then slowly stood up and walked towards one of the rucksacks seen in the movie, he then stuck his hand inside the bag and carried it like that over to us,

			"As you know I'm with the props division, I'm responsible for buying the necessary equipment needed for the filming of the movie. It was we who made Kaitou's 'blood' as well as his 'severed arm'."

			He object he pulled out from the bag was exactly what I expected it to be.

			A rope.

			"Hongou can be quite careless in her preparation. For example, though she intended there to be lots of blood to be used in that scene, the filming crew was at a panic when we found out our stock of fake blood was not enough. Still, she specifically requested us to get a rope. She told us as someone would be required to climb down it, we would need a very sturdy rope. So I said would a standard safety rope do, to which she was fine with it. Do you realize what she was intending to do with this?"

			He said while returning to his seat, placing the rope on the table. He puffed up his chest confidently as he continued,

			"Let me give you a hint. Despite her slender appearance, Kounosu is actually a member of the Hiking Club."

			He took a glance at every one of us. Ibara probably gets it. Satoshi continued to maintain his smile while looking at his notebook, but he probably didn't get it. Chitanda simply looked puzzled, so she certainly did not get it.

			In any case, seeing as we all said nothing, Haba spoke in a voice as though telling us an incredible secret,

			"In other words, if the killer can't enter from the first floor, then he only needs to enter from the second floor. That is the remaining viable route. The right corridor on the second floor was occupied by Kounosu, and it was no coincidence that she was assigned there. If I had to guess, it's probably due to her being in the Hiking Club.

			Hongou's trick is actually quite simple: To have the killer climb down from the window on the second floor using a rope, and kill Kaitou without anyone noticing, and returning back up the same rope."

			"Umm, so the killer enters the Right Stage from upstairs, right?"

			"Well, duh. If the killer had entered from any other route, the locked door would serve no purpose...... Now, I'm sure you all get it by now. As the movie hasn't got a title, if it's to have one, then it ought to be named "The Invisible Intrusion"."

			Haba puffed his chest as though declaring, ''Now how's that?'' As though what he just said was the undeniable truth, he spoke,

			"Now, let me hear what you think of it."

			He asked us what we think of it, huh. We exchanged glances with each other. Ibara's face looked as though she was prodding me to show him some, I decided to ignore her, I had no intention of wasting any unnecessary energy just to rebuke him as we did with Nakajou yesterday. While Nakajou was very passionate, Haba was extremely confident. I turned my head the other way and met Chitanda's gaze. I sensed what she wanted to say and gave her an approving nod.

			Nodding back, she turned and said to Haba,

			"We think it's a wonderful deduction."

			While Haba may have thought her response a matter of fact, she was merely saying it out of courtesy.

			"Oh, you flatter me too much,"

			He then turned towards Ibara with a smile,

			"What about you?"

			Damn, he's trying to provoke her. Yet Ibara, despite feeling frustrated, decided to nod upon seeing Chitanda's response.

			Haba seemed to has finished what he had wanted to say. Sensing the time had come, I proceeded to speak,

			"It was a great deduction, Haba-sempai. We shall be able to provide Irisu-sempai with a proper review...... Have a good day."

			Haba nodded satisfactorily. I stood up upon finishing. We each greeted him goodbye and move to leave the Class 2-F classroom.

			Before leaving, Chitanda looked at the Sherlock Holmes books on the chair and said,

			"Excuse me, Haba-san, but do you mind if we borrow these?"

			Though it was a strange request, as Haba was in a good mood, he agreed,

			"Those are Hongou's books. Make sure you return them as you have borrowed them,"

			''Don't freely lend out other people's belongings.'' I said within my thoughts.

			Ibara and Satoshi too left the classroom, as I was about to close the door, I stuck my head back inside to ask something,

			"Haba-sempai,"

			"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

			"No, it's nothing important. But just wondering if you've seen the movie yet? I thought Kaitou-sempai's severed arm effect was done rather well."

			Thereupon Haba shook his head and smiled bitterly,

			"To be honest, I've yet to watch it."

			That answer was good enough for me.
