Chapter 564 The Wisdom of a Detective
Gunda Ikumi was deeply moved by Mao Lilan's spirit of pursuing dreams, so she kept silent about her attempts to persuade him to quit.
After Lin Xinyi found out that Ms. Gunda was now driving a Ferrari, he no longer thought about persuading her to return to the trap.
Everyone tacitly dropped the original topic and turned to discuss today’s mysterious dinner:
"Miss Gunda."
Lin Xinyi asked curiously:
"It seems you came earlier than us."
"Then have you met the guy who invited us to the banquet?"
"No." Gunda Ikumi smiled and shook his head: "That 'Phantom Boy' seems to have no intention of showing up in person."
"Besides us, the only ones in this room now are Detective Dashang Zhushan, who was also invited, and a maid who was arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes to act on his behalf."
"Oh, Detective Zhu Shan?" Lin Xinyi thought of something: "Is that the 'foodie detective' who often appears on cooking shows?"
"That's right." Gunda Ikumi glanced at him thoughtfully: "That's him."
"Detective Ogami came earlier than me."
"Now, he should be busy in the kitchen preparing dinner for everyone, right?"
Dashang Zhushan, male, 52 years old, is quite accomplished in the fields of cooking and reasoning. He is known as the "Gourmet Detective" in the world.
He was also one of the detectives invited to the dinner.
Because the chef arranged by the person behind the scenes took a leave of absence and did not come, the work was skipped, and no one was cooking the dinner.
So in order to not be hungry at night, the Ogami detective who was addicted to food volunteered to take over the job of the chef and went to the kitchen to prepare food for everyone's dinner.
"That's it." Lin Xin nodded.
He thought for a moment and then asked again:
"So Miss Gunda, what's going on with that maid lady you just talked about?"
"Is she a subordinate of the 'Phantom Child'?"
"The mastermind behind this didn't show up and only sent a maid to meet us?"
"You can say that, but..." Gunda Ikumi smiled: "She can't be considered a subordinate of the 'Phantom Boy'."
"Because she knows no more about today's host than the few of us invited guests."
"According to the maid's own words:"
"She is just a temporary worker who was hired with a high salary to arrange this dinner for a few of us."
"During this entire process, the person behind the job who hired her as a maid did not show up - he only contacted her through phone calls and emails and gave her instructions remotely."
The mastermind behind the scenes did not appear from beginning to end, but arranged for a maid to be his tool.
As for why he wanted to make himself so mysterious, what was his purpose in arranging this dinner?
Gunda Ikumi has not found the answer yet.
"Anyway, the maid said that according to her employer's instructions, we all have to wait here patiently."
"When the dinner officially starts, her employer should show up."
Gunda Ikumi relayed the information she obtained from the maid to Lin Shinichi.
And Lin Xinyi didn't feel nervous at all because of the mysterious style of the man behind the scenes:
"Hehe, this guy is pretty good at pretending to be a ghost."
"Okay, then let's walk around the Twilight Hall first and see what tricks he is going to play after the dinner starts."
Lin Xinyi smiled lightly.
Then he planned to say goodbye to Gunda Ikumi and others for a while, and take advantage of the free time before the dinner to visit the boss's old house.
And just then.
"Manager Lin?"
"And Miss Mori, Detective Motegi, and Detective Senjian?"
A strange and enthusiastic voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
Everyone looked around and saw a fat old man wearing a white suit and a green bow, walking towards him with a smile.
Lin Xinyi recognized him. He was the gourmet detective Ogami Zhushan who was also invited to the scene by the mysterious man whom Ikumi Gunda mentioned just now.
"I asked why the hall was suddenly so busy."
“It turns out that so many outstanding colleagues have come here.”
The elder Zhu Shan had a kind smile on his fat face:
"Motegi, Senjian, long time no see."
He first said hello to the two old colleagues he knew, and then turned to look at Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan:
"Hello, Mr. Lin, Miss Maori."
"I am the Great Master Zhu Shan."
"I know you." Lin Xinyi shook the hand extended by Zhu Shan enthusiastically: "I've seen you on TV."
"Haha." Zhu Shan smiled even brighter: "I have admired your name, Mr. Lin, for a long time."
"Today I have the opportunity to discuss and communicate face-to-face with a genius like you. It's really a worthwhile trip!"
The elder Zhu Shan's polite greetings made the atmosphere lively.
As he spoke, he looked at Senjian Yoyo and Motegi Haruka with interest:
"Detective Senjian, Detective Motegi."
"You all came here with Manager Lin. How about it? Mr. Lin didn't disappoint you, did he?"
There is always a competition between famous detectives and famous detectives, so the first meeting naturally involves testing each other out.
Dashang Zhushan was now half-jokingly asking about the results of these two old acquaintances' testing of Lin Xinyi.
"This." Senjian Fangshi and Motegi Haruka remained silent.
Each expression is weirder than the last.
In the end, the two famous detectives unanimously commented:
"Mr. Lin."
"It's very unpredictable."
"Oh?" Zhu Shan became even more energetic.
He looked at Lin Xinyi with great interest, with the unique challenge of a famous detective in his eyes.
"Well" Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched slightly: "Detective Dashang, you don't want to show your hands to me, do you?"
"Of course." Dashang Zhushan admitted frankly: "I heard that Mr. Lin, you are called the 'famous detective beyond Sherlock Holmes'."
"When I meet you today, how can I not ask you for advice?"
Lin Xinyi felt even more helpless when he heard:
Speaking of which, he actually has a nickname that sounds extremely hateful, "Super Holmes".
This is not because he really has any ability to surpass Holmes.
It's because the media is irresponsible when giving nicknames to famous detectives, calling people "Sherlock Holmes" at every turn.
The result is the same as "Oriental Bismarck", "Oriental Napoleon", "XX City Peng Yuyan", "XX County Wu Yanzu" and other titles.
The title "Sherlock Holmes" has become inflationary and has become worthless.
After all, Sherlock Holmes is the idol of all detectives and an elusive legend for future generations.
But Heisei Holmes cannot be the best in the world, making all detectives willing to look up to him - there is no way, there are too many people in the world with 1Q IQ.
result
Heisei Holmes accidentally lost to Lin Xinyi, and was "disheartened" by the loss, so he "washed his hands in a golden basin and disappeared into retirement".
Will Lin Xinyi become "Super Sherlock Holmes"?
And if you call me this kind of name, won't you attract red eyes from your fellow detectives?
"not like this!"
Mao Lilan noticed the trouble this title brought to Lin Xinyi.
So she couldn't help but stand up and explain to her teacher:
"This is all exaggerated propaganda by the media to attract attention."
"Mr. Lin is certainly not as powerful as the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes."
Miss Maori blinked her big innocent eyes and defended Lin Xinyi confidently:
"He's just more powerful than the real detectives!"
Lin Xinyi and Dashang Zhushan: "."
Perhaps realizing that this was not the right thing to say, Mao Lilan hurriedly added:
"Mr. Ogami, I'm not saying that you are inferior to Mr. Lin."
"I'm talking about Shinichi Kudo, and Hattori Heiji and the others."
Conan: "."
The place became quieter.
It's better that Miss Maori doesn't advise me.
It turns out that Zhu Shan, the great master, just wanted to make friends with his wisdom and communicate with the masters for a while.
After being persuaded like this, there was a hint of tense gunpowder in the air.
"Haha." The elder Zhu Shan's round and kind face had a hint of sharpness: "Miss Maori is right."
"Even Kanto Kudo and Kansai Hattori lost to Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is indeed more powerful than the current famous detectives."
"In this case, it is even more important for me to have a good communication with Mr. Lin."
The elder Zhu Shan rubbed his round chin, his eyes rolling around Lin Xinyi.
Lin Xinyi realized something.
He sighed helplessly: "Mr. Ogami, do you also want to compete with me in your ability to 'get to know people when you meet them'?"
"If it's a competition like this, then I'll have to accept the defeat."
"My mind is not as good as everyone thinks. I can't read so much information from others just by naked eyes like you famous detectives."
"Mr. Lin, there is no need to be too modest."
Zhu Shan did not believe Lin Xinyi's frank words:
"Holmes' ability to discern the origins of strangers at a glance is not that easy to imitate."
"Actually, I'm the same now. I haven't been able to find anything worth mentioning from you, Mr. Lin."
"Nothing"
He suddenly turned to look at Conan:
"I did see some very interesting things about this kid."
"Oh?" Everyone was slightly stunned.
No one expected that the great leader Zhu Shan would actually use his ability to recognize people in person on Conan.
"kid."
Dashang Zhushan slowly walked up to Conan and squatted down face to face with him.
On that round, fat face, a pair of falcon-like eyes were shining:
"I see that you are not an ordinary elementary school student."
"Huh?" Conan was slightly startled: "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"I'm just an ordinary kid"
He pinched the childish voice that could make people sick to death, pretending to be stupid and asked.
"No, you are not ordinary at all."
The elder Zhu Shan curled his lips and showed an enigmatic smile:
"I have noticed:"
"Under your childish appearance, you may still have an adult heart"
Conan: "??!"
He was startled by Da Shang Zhu Shan's frighteningly accurate reasoning.
Lin Xinyi and others also secretly showed surprised expressions:
What does the words "Da Shang Zhu Shan" mean?
Did he see that Conan was a fake elementary school student?
Impossible. How is this done?
You know, even super-1 Ke talents like Rei Fukiya and Shuichi Akai couldn't see through Conan's disguise at a glance!
Everyone pricked up their ears nervously and curiously, looking forward to the answer from the Ogami detective.
But Zhu Shan, the superior, was directed at Conan.
Smiling obscenely:
"Hey hey hey, little ghost head"
"Have you ever peeked under Miss Mori's skirt before?"
"." The air was stagnant.
Conan was stunned for a while, then said with wide eyes:
"Nonsense! How could you, how could you accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air?!"
"Mr. Ogami." Mao Lilan also blushed suddenly: "How could you say such strange things?"
"Conan is just a child!"
"Haha." The corners of Zhu Shan's lips curved up like a seasoned driver: "Miss Maori, there is no need for you to cover for this lecherous brat in front of me."
"Because I already noticed it when I heard the sound from the kitchen just now:"
"As long as this kid comes closer to you, Miss Maori, you will subconsciously cover the hem of your skirt and instinctively keep a safe distance from him."
"What does this mean?"
Dashang Zhushan analyzed in a subtle tone:
"It means that this little devil has definitely had a history of peeking at big sister's underwear before."
"Otherwise, Miss Mori, why would you instinctively guard against him?"
"Who would subconsciously make such a vigilant action of covering their skirt when an ignorant child approaches them?"
"If he didn't have a 'criminal record' and had done obscene things like peeking up skirts, then who would have thought of guarding against such a cute little boy?"
"So there is only one truth:"
"This kid is not an ordinary elementary school student who is ignorant."
"It's a real-life version of 'Nohara Shinnosuke'!"
"Well" Mao Lilan was speechless:
Detective Ogami's reasoning is basically correct. Conan is indeed not an ignorant elementary school student.
He had already exposed his true colors as an experienced driver.
That's why Miss Mori would instinctively be wary of Conan approaching when she goes out in short skirts.
Otherwise, given that this guy is not as tall as Mao Lilan's legs, as long as he raises his head slightly next to Mao Lilan, his eyes will see some very bad sights.
But Conan is a lecherous person.
Detective Ogami said that he had a history of peeking at underwear, so it was a bit unfair.
After all, Conan had only deliberately disguised himself as a child before, took a bath with her, and slept with her. He probably had never done anything as extreme as deliberately peeking up her skirt, right?
No, right?
The more Mao Lilan thought about it, the deeper her frown deepened.
The fists are getting harder and harder
The look she looked at Conan gradually became dangerous.
This look seemed to be asking him fiercely: "You haven't peeked under my skirt before, have you, Conan?"
"No, no."
Conan blushed, and veins popped out on his forehead:
"Mistake. It cannot be regarded as peeking."
"I accidentally saw it when I looked up. Can that be considered a peek?"
"Oh, really?"
The wise detective Dashang Zhushan was not deceived at all by the sweet talk of this lecherous kid.
A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he slowly stood up again, quietly holding Conan's little hand.
Conan hasn't reacted yet.
With a gentle tug, Detective Ogami pulled Conan closer to the blushing Miss Mori.
From Conan's perspective:
He only felt his body stagger and his steps falter.
A pair of slender legs of an "eight-foot-long man" suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
And these long, dazzling white legs suddenly zoomed in and out in front of him, so close that they almost touched his face.
Conan's limited field of vision due to his small body was instantly occupied by the white grey.
The beautiful scenery is like fine wine, very intoxicating.
So, without thinking, he habitually and instinctively
He raised his head.
This lift didn't allow him to see anything up her skirt.
He only saw Mao Lilan's flushed cheeks and the hand tightly covering the hem of her skirt.
There is also a fist that is clenched hard.
"S-Sister Xiaolan."
Conan's face turned pale:
What's worse, that damn elder Zhu Shan didn't follow martial ethics and attacked an 8-year-old young man.
As a result, he accidentally tested his instinctive reaction!
"Sister Xiaolan, I just didn't."
"I didn't raise my head on purpose!"
boom--! !
Mao Lilan used his strong hand to crack the skull.
Conan put on a mask of pain and howled.
Lin Xinyi was amazed and convinced:
"Detective Ojo."
"Amazing!"
