  1. "Yui-onēsama, your vision was obscured by the handkerchief, so
  2. you probably didn’t see it, but my eyes did. The hotel flipped over
  3. with the surrounding ground."
  4.  
  5. "Flipped over?"
  6.  
  7. We turned back to the original location of the hotel, and found
  8. that there was a very small gap between the footing of the hotel
  9. perimeter wall and the ground. According to her, the entire hotel
  10. was originally located on a piece of something similar to a thick
  11. board, and in the center of this board, there was a rotation axis
  12. that ran through the entire thing, and so, the board rotated 180
  13. degrees like a stage, becoming an empty space. That was the
  14. mechanism of it. The walls were used to cover the cracks in the
  15. ground.
  16.  
  17. "When the locked room murders occurred in the hotel, Yuionēsama once suspected that the walls might be able to rotate.
  18. But in fact, the walls weren’t what can rotate, but the entire
  19. hotel."
  20.  
  21. Shinsen unfolded the handkerchief in front of my eyes to
  22. temporarily hide this mechanism, which is a common blinding
  23. technique used by magicians and illusionists.
  24.  
  25. "To make an object of that mass flip smoothly without making a
  26. single sound requires a device of unimaginably large scale. Maybe
  27. the buildings related to the ‘Black Challenge’ are all able to
  28. instantly disappear from sight through a variety of methods, and
  29. usually they are hidden, only appearing when the game begins."
  30.  
  31. "Then how do you explain the fact that everything around them
  32. fold up and disappear?"
  33.  
  34. "I think they just fold up and disappear too. They are basically
  35. things like set boards or paper models that can be recycled at any
  36. time. The ‘Black Challenge’ is essentially a kind of show, so it's not
  37. surprising that everything is a stage set including the
  38. background."
  39.  
  40. Despite what Kirigiri said, I still found it unbelievable. The Crime
  41.  
  42. Victims’ Relief Committee offers all kinds of crimes in all kinds of
  43. places. Does it all require the large-scale installations and setting a
  44. backdrop? It feels like no amount of funding would be enough for
  45. that.
