Chapter 27 Paradise Hunting (revised) Box!
Sure enough, Sister Lin noticed it.
Ai Huihara thought for a moment and said briefly, "Miss Ran's bracelet has been tampered with by the client. If Uncle Maori and Edogawa don't solve the riddle and complete his commission, he will detonate the remote-controlled bomb in Miss Ran's bracelet."
"So, a case did happen after all. However... I can understand letting Uncle Maori solve the case, but why did you have to let Conan go along as well?"
Huibara Ai was silent.
Sister Lin is so perceptive.
She was about to mumble something when she heard Lin Xi brush the issue off: "Forget it, it's not important. Xiao Ai, Miss Lan's bracelet probably has an eavesdropping function. You play with them and keep an eye on Miss Lan. I'll go help."
Huiyuan Ai quickly grabbed her and said, "Sister Lin! It's very dangerous..."
"It's okay, trust me." Lin Xi blinked. "If the detectives are all being monitored, then they'll need someone outside the chess game to help them."
Besides, she might actually be helpful to the situation.
Just now she opened the map and took a look. The famous person in the Red Castle Hotel... was named Ito Suehiko.
4.4 The mastermind of the robbery.
After Lin Xi left, Huihara Ai looked at the place where she left with gritted teeth and took out the detective badge.
"Hey, Edogawa." Her voice turned murderous. "Sister Lin said the detectives might be monitored. She's coming to see you. You'd better not expose her by talking with the bracelet on."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards Xiaolan and the children who were queuing for the Devil Boat and explained to them Lin Xi's sudden disappearance.
.
Solving the problem was actually very simple. She already knew who the client was, so she could just sneak into the Red Castle Hotel, knock Ito Suehiko unconscious, and then call the police to have them send an expert to decrypt the bomb.
But the problem now is not all about solving the problem, but how to solve the problem without exposing your identity.
Lin Xi thought about it and walked to a corner of the park.
The map shows that Edogawa Conan is here.
"Ah." Conan was stunned when he saw her coming.
How did Sister Lin know they were here?
He is accompanied by a famous detective from Kansai, Hattori Heiji, and another high school detective.
"Hey, what are you doing here, detectives?" Lin Xi greeted with a smile. "The only rides around here are spinning teacups. Are you guys gathered here to get rid of your female companions and play the spinning teacups?"
Hattori Heiji didn't recognize Lin Xi, and he said to Conan: "Who is this familiar guy...?"
He knew that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, and the two had exchanged information before another high school detective came.
"It's Sister Lin..." Conan didn't know how to explain, "She's a good person..."
"Hello, I'm Hattori Heiji, the famous detective from Kansai. I've heard a lot about you. I'm Lin Xi, a college student detective from Beika Town. My crime-solving rate so far is zero percent." Lin Xi shook hands with Hattori Heiji enthusiastically.
"...just a little off the mark," Conan added.
After greeting Hattori Heiji, Lin Xi turned to another high school detective: "Hello, Detective Kuroba. I've heard a lot about you, too."
Kuroba Kaito, wearing the white horse skin: ???
How did this person recognize him?
Not only did he recognize him as Kaito Kidd, he also called out his true identity!
box!
He kept a poker face and smiled slightly: "You've made a mistake, haven't you? I'm Baiba Tan."
"Oh, sorry. I may be a little face-blind." Lin Xi followed suit, but was actually a little confused.
The map shows that this person's name is Kuroba Kaito?
"Sister Lin, what are you doing..."
What are you doing?
Conan looked up at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi smiled down and winked at him, "I'm a detective too, I want to join your investigation too! Is that okay, everyone?"
"No, that's right..." Conan twitched his lips, "But Sister Lin doesn't have any detective experience, does she?"
"Haven't you heard that two heads are better than a shrew?" Lin Xi shrugged. "Besides, if a little kid like you can be a detective, why can't I? Have you cracked the code given by the client? Where are we going now?"
Hattori Heiji scratched his head. "A 0% clearance rate is too low... Would a client actually hire a detective like you?"
Conan looked at his friend beside him speechlessly.
Really, one dares to say it, the other dares to believe it.
I'm afraid it's 0% because Sister Lin didn't accept the commission at all.
"Takashima-cho 3-8-5." Kaito Kidd answered Lin Xi's question, "This is the location pointed to by the first code."
He put on the skin of the White Horse Detective and observed Lin Xi subtly.
Kaito Kidd didn't appear here by chance.
He replaced the White Horse detective's identity to investigate the 4.4 armored car robbery.
On April 4th, the day the armored car was robbed, he stole gemstones from the Shenshan Art Museum. While fleeing, he happened to encounter the robbers from the armored car robbery. He lured them into an alley, only to see their faces and be chased at gunpoint. And every time he acted as Kaito Kidd, he was sniped by the same gang.
Moreover, when returning the gems, he found a large amount of stolen goods in the Miyama Art Museum. After his investigation, he has almost figured out the true identity of the three criminals and the owner of the stolen goods: Nishio Masaharu, Ito Suehiko and Shimizu Reiko, as well as their supporter, Miyama Soichiro, all of whom are members of the Yokohama Marine University criminal society.
Investigating these things should be the job of a detective, but occasionally, besides targeting the shiny gems, this thief would also think about helping to solve the vicious criminals - not to mention that they have turned their theft scene into a gunfight scene several times.
Therefore, when he found out that Soichiro Fukayama had acquired the Far East Group and had taken over the Red Castle Hotel, and detectives from all over the country had received commissions from the Red Castle Hotel one after another, Kaito Kid knew that the opportunity had come.
He knocked out the White Horse detective who received the commission, disguised himself as him and came to the paradise, mixed in with the detectives, and took the opportunity to reveal information.
However, the variable Lin Xi appeared - Kaito Kidd still couldn't figure out why she could call out his real name the first time she saw him.
Very few people know that Kuroba Kaito is Kaito Kidd, and Lin Xi is definitely not one of them.
Kaito Kidd couldn't figure it out. He decided to first complete Ito Suehiko's commission before testing Lin Xi.
They went to the code address together, which was an abandoned restaurant. There they found a bag containing a pistol and a mask, as well as a receipt dated April 4th. At this time, Lin Xi gave them information - that was what Kaito Kidd had originally intended to do.
"There was an armored car robbery in Yokohama on April 4th," Lin Xi said. "It should have happened on this street, right? I remember it was reported on the news. The criminals haven't been found yet. Is it related to this case? Does the client want us to find the robbers?"
Kaito Kidd's heart moved.
Most people wouldn't notice this case. It's been two weeks since the incident, and different murders happen every day in Japan. Those murders with a bit of suspense attract more attention than robberies.
Lin Xi mentioned this case at this time. Maybe she knew more than the case itself, or maybe she came here to pass on information, just like him?
With Lin Xi's reminder, the detectives quickly deduced that this abandoned hotel was a transit station for the criminals to commit crimes. After the robbery, they fled the scene, unloaded their weapons, changed cars and left here.
After they told the client the answer, the next riddle was quickly sent over.
It wasn't difficult at all, and they figured out the location hinted at by the puzzle. Lin Xi watched them reasoning and marveled at their ability to decipher the code.
These people in the science world are really powerful. She herself knows nothing about secret codes.
But there’s really no reasoning involved.
Because the second location indicated by the code is the crime scene of the 4.4 robbery.
It was here that the gangsters hijacked the armored car and killed a security guard who tried to resist them.
It’s all written in the news and can be found on the Internet.
After contacting the client, the client seemed surprised at how quickly they solved the case, so he sent them another code for them to decipher.
『YOU CRY』.
Well, Lin Xi could see through this secret code at once.
“Yokohama Ocean University and Crime Research Yokohama,” she said.
Several people immediately looked at her.
Lin Xi shrugged: "A friend of mine used to study at this university and also joined this club."
"Friends?" Kaito Kidd said, "Miss Lin has a wide circle of friends."
This statement was somewhat sarcastic, because Kaito Kidd didn't believe that Lin Xi had such a friend. He believed that Lin Xi had done his research and came prepared.
"College students," Lin Xi said, not caring at all about Kidd's tone. "There are always some college friends, even though my friend has already graduated."
"Then Sister Lin, can you let your friend take us into the campus to investigate?" Conan tugged at the corner of Lin Xi's clothes.
Lin Xi glanced at him sideways. "You're the only one here who needs to be brought along. It's enrollment season now, and all the universities are opening up to visitors. The three of us are all of college age. What about you, a seven-year-old first-grade detective?"
The other two laughed, but Kaito Kid wanted to ask a few more questions about his friend:
"Ms. Lin, what's your friend's name?"
"Ah, her name is Shimizu Reiko."
Haha, Miss Reiko, the gift is coming soon.
She gave the clues to the three top detectives not just to prevent the bombing.
After all, her and Ai's bracelets had not been tampered with, so even if the worst happened, she could use the rollback function to avoid the explosion.
However, Lin Xi was very unhappy that Reiko Shimizu allowed Shoji Nishio to follow her.
Even though she treated her to a delicious meal, she was still unhappy.
So it's a matter of reciprocity. She allowed the creepy man to follow her, so she also allowed the detective to approach her.
When they heard the name, the other two didn't react, but Kidd confirmed his guess first.
This guy was just like him, looking for trouble. Not with the detectives, but with the thugs involved in the April 4th robbery.
