Chapter 2202 2213 [Where's the plate? ]
After inserting the coin and pressing the option, golf balls with crisscross blue lines fell into the basket, soon filling up the basket.
When Mao Lilan heard the noise, she walked closer to take a look out of curiosity.
She picked up a ball with two fingers and looked at it in confusion: "I feel like this ball is a little fancy and looks different from the balls on TV."
Jiang Xia also picked up a ball, tossed it casually, and looked at the thick blue lines printed on it: "The golf on TV is usually more formal, and the balls used are the ones for the next round - this one with the colored lines is the practice ball prepared by the golf course."
Practice balls are cheaper than practice balls, and they usually have eye-catching colored lines and the corresponding logo of the practice range printed on them.
The two types of balls are made with different craftsmanship. In order to extend their service life, the outer shell of the practice ball is usually stronger and the inner core is also very solid, so it is not easy to hit it far.
Although there is a difference in performance, most of the guests who come here to play ball and relax, and usually don't care about this minor flaw - even if they do, they can't carry a basket of real balls here and pick them up one by one after playing, so in the end everyone just makes do with it, anyway, not everyone needs to play in the game.
…
The high school students just treated these golf balls that were not white enough as a topic of conversation for fun. Anyway, they did not play golf often, so no matter what they looked like, they were just ordinary balls in their eyes.
But in the eyes of the FBI who have something on their mind...
After hearing Jiang Xia's words, "Practice balls are sturdier and sometimes heavier," Judy couldn't help but pick up a ball and weigh it lightly.
The high school detective's unintentional words suddenly reminded her of something: If a murder really happened today, would the potential murderer and the person behind the scenes who controlled him use this kind of ball as a weapon?
...For example, a ball falls from the sky and smashes the brains of some unfortunate person.
Thinking of this, Judy couldn't help but expand on this possibility.
Then came the conclusion:
“I don’t think so.”
After estimating the width of the golf course, she thought to herself, "No matter how strong it is, it's just a small ball after all, and this golf course only has two floors. If you want to kill someone with the ball on flat ground, you have to hit it very high. As long as no one breaks into the field, there is no such risk.
"Even if someone suddenly broke into the field... this rectangular lawn is in full view, and the batsman can see that there is someone inside at a glance. He will definitely stop and let the person leave first, so the murder can be avoided."
After thinking about it, Judy threw the ball in her hand back into the basket and stood up.
When she turned around, she suddenly found that "Dr. Xinchu" was also staring at the ball in her hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Judy: “!”
What are you looking at?
Is it possible that this ball really has another mechanism?
As this thought flashed through Judy's mind, she suddenly remembered something.
"Wait, I seem to have discovered a blind spot!" Judy was so excited by her own thoughts that she broke into a thin sweat. "Speaking of the suspicious person who helped 'that person' secretly push the murder process...isn't Vermouth a ready-made candidate?"
Maybe it was this woman who was pushing the ice skating scene last time.
"but……"
However, Akai Shuichi was watching the whole process, and "Dr. Shinde" must have been his main target of observation. Since even Akai Shuichi didn't notice the problem, it means it wasn't her who did it.
"Oh, who is this?" Judy was exhausted. "I really want to tear open his web and pull him out from behind the scenes to see what this thing is."
…
On the sidelines, Jiang Xia picked up the club, tried to strike a pose and swung it a few times.
Conan: "..." I always feel like something is weird...
After a moment, he suddenly understood and whispered to Jiang Xia: "This is for playing ball, not for hitting people!"
Jiang Xia was puzzled: "..." Isn't this just the gesture for playing basketball? What does it look like to hit someone?
He gestured towards Conan, trying to recall.
Conan immediately jumped off the stool and moved sideways ten feet.
Next to them, when Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko turned around, they saw that there was no one next to Jiang Xia, only the ball was sent along the track and was hit away by him.
The two high school girls did not have such a deep understanding of hitting people with sticks.
They gathered together, and Mao Lilan muttered, "I always feel that Teacher Judy is worried. Could it be that she has encountered some trouble?"
Suzuki Sonoko still has a little prejudice against Teacher Judy: "Trouble? I see she is clearly hugging girls and having a lot of fun."
It would be fine if she had a strange attitude towards Jiang Xia, but she was actually so enthusiastic towards the newly-appointed doctor while coveting him - there were only two handsome guys here, but she took them all without any courtesy. How unreasonable!
Judy, who suddenly received a resentful look, turned back vigilantly and happened to meet the eyes of Suzuki Sonoko, who was looking at her with a pout.
Judy: “……?” Is it an illusion? She always feels that the eldest daughter of the consortium doesn’t like her very much.
…
The group was having fun with their own thoughts when suddenly, several other customers walked in.
No more, no less, just 4. All four of them were dressed in suits, and the brand of their suits looked quite expensive, like high-class office workers.
Three of them sensibly took a step behind and tacitly pushed a slightly bloated middle-aged man to the front.
Tachibana Eisuke moved his shoulders, looked around nonchalantly, and then smiled at his three followers, "It's rare that there are so few people here, so we have to have a good fight today."
The section chief next to him cursed in his heart: It's more than 6 o'clock in the morning and not even 7 o'clock, how can there be so many people! Which idiot doesn't sleep so early in the morning and comes here to play golf!
However, no matter what you think in your heart, you must say it well.
The section chief laughed heartily and agreed sincerely, "Yes, a day's plan begins in the morning. You should do some proper exercise before work so that you can get twice the result with half the effort and be more efficient. Thanks to you, I feel my health is getting better and better!"
"That's right!" The director next to him also laughed, trying to make Tachibana Eisuke happy.
Only the ordinary member who was at the end turned his head away and yawned quietly, looking bored.
As the four of them talked, they walked to the batting cage on the other side, put down their luggage, and then went to the machine to get the balls.
The ordinary member was not interested in this and whispered to the section chief: "Section Chief, I need to go to the bathroom - I was in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to go."
"A lazy donkey will pee and shit when it's on the millstone." The section chief cursed, "Go and come back quickly, don't ruin Minister Ju's fun!"
The member responded and trotted away.
Next to her, Vermouth was folding her arms in a trance.
Seeing this scene, she moved her fingers, and suddenly wanted to bet that this warrior who left alone could come back alive.
