Chapter 566 The simplest reasoning

Chapter 566 The simplest reasoning

Lin Xinyi quietly fell into silence.

Belmod's pupils shrank and quickly returned to calm.

Mao Lilan opened her mouth in surprise and stuttered a little:

"This whole house"

"Are they all made of gold?"

Miss Maori, who is obviously the second generation of rich people but has lived a civilian life since her parents divorced and followed a cheating father, and treats the daughter of a wealthy family as a nanny for minors, is now completely unable to control herself.

She also has no interest in money.

But there is so much money here.

In contrast, Conan, who has really seen the big world, is much calmer.

Just listen to him analyze calmly:

"No, the material properties of gold itself are destined. This house cannot be 100% made of gold."

"But even if it's just gold plating."

"To coat the entire wall of the mansion with gold, the gold consumption would still be an unimaginable astronomical figure."

The aura of the famous detective in Conan is still very stable.

But even so, the truth is still so magical that it makes him speechless:

What kind of dusk house is this? It's simply the Tottori branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of America.

"As rich as a country. It turns out that this word is not an exaggeration."

"If all the gold here is taken out and put into the market, I'm afraid the international gold price will be volatile for a long time, right?"

Conan sighed deeply, and then asked curiously:

"Lin, what are you going to do with such a huge treasure?"

"Send it over to the country? Or"

Lin Xinyi remained silent.

He did not answer this key question, but silently turned off the gold detector and put it back into the box. Then he picked up the survey box that had been packed and restored to its original state, and walked out the door:

"Let's go back."

"It's time to meet the mastermind behind this."

"This" Conan secretly admired in his heart:

He also didn't expect that Lin Xinyi was not interested in money at all, as he said.

Being in this golden pavilion, facing the Jade Sea and the Golden Mountain, Lin Xinyi's first thought was to go back and solve the case.

It was as if he came simply to solve the mystery of the treasure.

The treasure itself is not important, what is important is to find the truth.

He is just like Sherlock Holmes, a pure detective, a noble detective, a detective who has escaped from vulgar taste.

What does a golden treasure mean?

Character is always more valuable than gold.

Such people are the real treasures.

Thinking of this, as a fellow detective and a comrade with similar character, Conan couldn't help but respect Lin Xinyi a little more.

And that's what he was thinking in his heart

"Don't be stunned, sister."

Lin Xinyi couldn't help but excitedly grasped Belmod's hand:

"We have to solve this case quickly and let those famous detectives leave as soon as possible."

"We can't really let them have a chance to find the treasure left by our ancestors!"

Facts have proved that Lin Xinyi was a little worried.

When they hurried back to the living room, they saw Ikumi Gunda playing chess with Haruji Motegi, while Senma Yoyo was watching the game and taking a nap in a somewhat depressed mood.

Several detectives were passing the time boredly, and no one noticed anything strange about the Twilight Hall.

"Mr. Lin, Miss Maori."

"You're back so soon?"

Even these three famous detectives with extraordinary intelligence could never imagine that Lin Xinyi and others could find a golden mountain out of thin air just by wandering around in this mansion for a while.

They just said hello enthusiastically and casually:

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

"No." Lin Xinyi privately used the excuse of "amnesia washed away some skill points" to "re-learn" acting skills with Belmod for a period of time.

Although his current acting skills are still not close to the threshold of a Hollywood star.

But if it were placed in China, he would be regarded as a talented and capable actor.

"I noticed that hidden surveillance cameras have been installed in various important areas of this mansion."

"But it's such an obvious point that I don't need to say. Everyone here should have noticed it long ago."

Lin Xinyi spread his hands helplessly, only picking up unimportant information and revealing it.

And no one doubted him at all.

It's quite normal if I didn't find it.

Everyone knows that since the 'Phantom Boy' dares to invite the famous detective here, he will naturally not leave any important clues in the house for them to investigate.

"Haha, Mr. Lin."

Motegi Harushi smiled nonchalantly and took the initiative to put aside the issue:

"It just so happens that you are back too."

"Come on, let's play cards together."

Motegi Harushi warmly invited Lin Shinichi and others to sit down, and casually handed him a cigarette:

"Mr. Lin, do you want to smoke?"

"Cough cough cough cough." Lin Xinyi was about to refuse politely when Senjian Fangshio beside him coughed violently at an inappropriate time.

When she coughed, she lightly covered her head with her hands, as if she was feeling very uncomfortable.

"Sorry, sorry." Motegi Harushi put away the cigarette case and apologized with a smile: "I forgot that Granny Senjian, you are not feeling well today and you can't smell the cigarette."

"Then Mr. Lin, let's just play cards."

"Okay." Lin Xin nodded, and then pretended to be calm and played cards with Motegi Haruhi and Gunada Ikumi.

Belmode protected Conan and Mao Lilan, who had poor acting skills, and pretended as if nothing happened, sitting and chatting.

a moment later

The maid lady appeared in front of everyone with her superior Zhu Shan:

"Dear guests, Detective Ogami has helped prepare the dinner meals."

"Now please follow me to the restaurant for dinner."

"Oh?" The famous detectives were all excited: "The dinner has started, that guy should show up by now, right?"

"Yes." The maid nodded uncertainly: "Anyway, the employer told me in advance that he would appear at the dinner in the work arrangement."

"Okay." With curiosity and expectation, everyone stood up one after another.

Then they were led by the maid to the closed door of the restaurant.

Pushing open the wide door of the restaurant, you are greeted by a long square table.

There was a person sitting upright on the main seat at the end of the long table. This person was wearing a pointed cloak that looked like a uniform of the Ku Klux Klan. His whole body was covered with white cloth. He was so mysterious that he refused to show even an inch of his skin in front of others. .

"Are you the 'Phantom Boy'?"

The detectives looked at the mysterious man on the main seat with vigilance.

At this moment, I heard him suddenly say: "Six great detective gentlemen and madams, welcome to my twilight house."

"Everyone, please take your seats."

The mysterious man made a few opening remarks, then paused inexplicably.

Until Lin Xinyi and others sat down at the long table, the maid took the black teapot and filled the teacups placed on the table one by one according to the work arrangement.

After a while, he continued to make a sound:

"The reason why I invited you here today is to ask for your help in finding a treasure somewhere sleeping in this museum."

"I am willing to dedicate the huge wealth accumulated over the years and bet with you with my life."

"With your life?" The atmosphere at the scene was a little delicate.

Then, just the next second.

boom--!

There was a sudden deafening explosion in the parking lot outside the mansion.

"What is this sound?" Everyone was shocked.

The man in the cloak then said:

"Don't worry, I just want to restrict your freedom of movement."

"Your car and the bridge you just passed have been blown up by me."

"In addition, this place is not covered by mobile phone signals, so it is impossible to request rescue from the outside world."

"So this is a game of survival. Whoever finds the treasure, I am willing to share it equally with him."

"You..." Dashang Zhushan's pupils shrank when he heard this: "You blew up our car?!"

Lin Xinyi, who was originally waiting for a good show, shouted angrily in shock:

"What? You actually blew up my divine light stick"

"My Toyota!!"

Lin Xinyi was so angry, and Motegi Haruka was even more angry and started to fight.

Others only blew up cars.

It was his wife who he blew up.

"Asshole, I'm not interested in playing a treasure hunt with you here—"

"You're a masked rat who dares not meet people!"

Without saying a word, Motegi Harushi started to tear off the mysterious man's cloak.

And the cloak was suddenly lifted off, and everyone was shocked to discover:

"Is this a dummy?"

The mastermind behind the scenes never showed up in person.

What appeared in front of everyone was just a plastic dummy equipped with a tape recorder and speakers.

It's still playing the pre-recorded sound:

"Okay, you can't fight when you're hungry."

"I will tell you the puzzle later. Please enjoy this 'Last Supper' first!"

After leaving these horrifying words, there was another silent and blank recording.

"I see.

Dashang Zhushan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of black tea:

"So that's why he invited us over."

"Kaitou Kidd wants to use the treasure as bait and our lives as a threat, so that we can have a smart showdown here."

"It seems we can only..."

He was still here expressing his emotions while minding his own business.

Gunda Ikumi, Motegi Harushi and others haven't recovered yet.

At this time, Lin Xinyi suddenly stood up and left his seat, striding to the side of the plastic dummy.

Then he reached out and took out the tape recorder installed in the dummy without hesitation, and finally clicked it.

Turned off the power switch.

"Mr. Lin, why did you turn off the tape recorder?"

A trace of undetectable nervousness flashed in Dashang Zhushan's eyes.

The detectives also looked over in confusion:

"The puzzle he was talking about has not yet been given."

"The recorder is turned off now. Don't we know what the mystery of this treasure is?"

"It's better if you don't know!"

Lin Xinyi replied confidently:

"He said he asked us to hunt for treasures and we will hunt for treasures. Why?"

"Why did he blow up our car?"

"joke!"

He sternly criticized the mastermind behind the scenes, and calmly dismissed the idea of ​​famous detectives trying to find treasures obediently:

"We won't cooperate. How dare this guy kill someone?"

"Okay, let him try it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xinyi showed his casserole-sized fist.

Mao Lilan also cooperated by clenching her fingers.

Caesar pricked up his ears and leaned down to growl, revealing his white fangs.

Belmode also silently unbuttoned her trench coat and showed everyone the lining of her trench coat, which was filled with pistols and daggers, comparable to a mobile arsenal.

"This" atmosphere suddenly became very subtle.

Gunda Ikumi and Ogami Shuzen stared closely at the weapons of Belmode.

Motegi Haruka and Senjian Shidai couldn't help but recall Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan's courage to move mountains and seas.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize a problem.

With the reliable force guarantee of this group of berserker warriors, they seemed to have no need to compromise with the mastermind behind the scenes.

If you don’t like it, come out and practice.

Defeat Lin Xinyi first and then talk about it.

Since you have to use everyone's lives as a bet, you must at least show some ability to threaten everyone's lives, right?

"I know that as famous detectives, everyone has an instinctive interest in the so-called treasure mystery."

"But don't forget this is not a game."

"The other party blew up our car and set up a trap to trap us here. They have completely embarked on a criminal path."

"No matter how much you like to speculate and solve puzzles, you should not cooperate with the criminal to complete his criminal plan and achieve his ulterior and sinister purpose!"

Lin Xinyi educated all the detectives present with dignity.

He directly characterized this treasure hunt as an outright crime, and whoever solved the puzzle was cooperating with the other party to implement the criminal plan.

This sounds a bit extreme, but it is true.

If you know that the other party is incapable of threatening you but still obediently help solve the mystery, isn't this intentionally helping the other party commit a crime?

After being educated like this by Manager Lin, everyone gave up the idea of ​​playing treasure hunt games with criminals.

"This, this."

Dashang Zhushan swallowed nervously:

"Mr. Lin, let's not act too tough, right?"

"The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. Even if our side is powerful, we may not be able to defend against that guy's sneak attack!"

"What's more, Kaitou Kidd is not an easy person to deal with."

"Kaitou Kidd?" Lin Xinyi coldly interrupted Dashang Zhushan's speech: "No, the mastermind behind this is not Kaitou Kidd."

"The real murderer is actually among us!"

"What?" These words caused an uproar.

Even Conan and Mao Lilan, two of their own people, were a little surprised:

"Mr. Lin, do you already know the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"That's right." Belmode smiled slightly and helped Lin Xinyi answer: "Xinyi and I have noticed the identity of the prisoner a long time ago."

"It's just that your acting skills are not good enough. If you know the truth, it will be easy to reveal the truth."

"Leave this kind of deception to me!"

Lin Xinyi and Belmod's chorus are telling everyone unmistakably:

They already knew the identity of the prisoner.

And they had been holding back before, just because...

The prisoner had not had time to commit the crime at that time, and there was no way to punish him if he was caught.

Lin Xinyi originally planned to wait until the other party started committing crimes before formally coming forward to stop them.

But he didn't expect that the criminal would blow up everyone's car before committing other crimes.

The bombs were all expensive and luxurious cars.

This day passed, and suddenly there was a decision.

Lin Xinyi no longer has to wait:

"Let me tell you the truth——"

"That prisoner is actually..."

"Is he Detective Ogami?"

Before Lin Xinyi could reveal the answer to the mystery, Gunda Ikumi unhurriedly revealed the answer:

"Mr. Lin, the prisoner you suspect is Da Shang Zhu Shan, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Dashang Zhushan's expression suddenly became very ugly.

Lin Xinyi didn't bother to stare at him as a prisoner, but looked at Gunda Ikumi curiously:

"Miss Gunda, it turns out you also noticed it?"

"No." Gunda Ikumi shook his head: "I didn't find anything wrong with Mr. Ogami."

"What I noticed was Mr. Lin's reaction when you first mentioned Detective Ogami."

"When we met in the lobby earlier, I told you that in addition to me, there was Detective Dashang Zhushan and a maid who was the 'Phantom Boy Spokesperson' in the mansion."

"I didn't mention it at the time. This maid was just a temporary worker who didn't know anything."

Everyone comes here for "Kaitou Kidd".

Between a fellow detective who has no friendship at all and "Kidd's spokesperson", most people are probably more interested in the maid who is the "Kidd's spokesperson".

"But the first thing you asked about, Mr. Lin, was not about the maid."

"But he deliberately used seeing him on a TV show as an excuse to confirm the identity of Detective Ogami to me."

"So I could vaguely see it at that time."

"Mr. Lin, you must have some important information about Detective Ogami."

"Although I couldn't guess why you treat Detective Ogami so differently, now the answer to this question has become obvious."

Gunda Ikumi slowly explained his reasoning process.

Then he threw the question back to Lin Xinyi with great expectation:

"But what makes me curious is, Mr. Lin, how did you notice that there was something wrong with Detective Ogami?"

"At that time, you had just entered the lobby of the Twilight Hall. You probably hadn't met Detective Ogami yet, right?"

Gunda Ikumi's eyes were full of curiosity.

Motegi Harushi also pricked up his ears silently

Dashang Zhushan also looked over with an ugly expression.

Their respective positions are different, but the questions they ask are actually the same:

What did Lin Xinyi discover?

Why does he say that Dashang Zhushan is the mastermind behind this?

"This" Lin Xinyi's expression was very strange.

Seeing each of these famous detectives looking at him with blank and puzzled eyes, he didn't know whether there was something wrong with the other person's brain or his own.

"That, everyone"

"Before you were invited here for the banquet, didn't you try to investigate the situation of this Twilight Hall?"

Before traveling far, you should know the conditions at your destination.

Isn’t this something that even a primary school student can think of?

Why didn't you think of that?

"Huh?" Faced with Lin Xinyi's slightly shocked questions and reminders, Gunda Ikumi and others still looked at a loss.

"." Lin Xinyi was speechless.

He could only sigh softly and slowly said his answer:

"Actually, I didn't use any sophisticated methods."

"Before I came here, I checked the 'hukou' of the Dusk House."

"The name of Da Shang Zhu Shan is clearly written on the property ownership certificate——"

"He is the owner of this Twilight House!"

Checking house property rights information requires some connections within the system, which is indeed difficult for ordinary people.

But these famous detectives all have a high degree of cooperation with the police, so it is impossible that they don't even have this connection.

But none of them checked before they came.

And so is Dashang Zhushan, the mastermind behind the scenes.

He seems to be sure that these famous detectives will not come to check the property rights of the Twilight Hall, and he actually dares to go into battle himself, blatantly mixing in among the invited detectives.

"Actually, this case is very simple."

Lin Xinyi spread his hands helplessly:

"Detective Ogami is obviously the owner of this place, but he still pretends to be a guest like us."

"Isn't there something wrong with this?"
