It's close enough. Besides I'm fairly sure Ellery says that as well. He rants about coffin and locked rooms a lot during his explanation. Let me check.
Alright, this part fits a bit better, though it still has locked room over closed room.
"The criminal wanted us to be chasing a ghost, chasing an illusion. But this locked room he so carefully prepared to us is useless. After all, a coffin is a coffin. No one would argue that a coffin is a locked room. Yet one person did. That person was, of course, the true murderer. Isn't that right, [here he points to the killer, so I'm going to cut it here]"
