Chapter 3361 3373 [Detective Mentor] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
"She seems more like she's afraid of what's behind Jiang Xia..." Mao Lilan's eyes shifted between Jiang Xia and Judy, trying to think, "Hmm, is she afraid of the police?"
beside.
Judy thought she had successfully nipped Jiang Xia's appearance on stage in the bud, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, this detective appeared out of nowhere without even a warning.
"...Forget it, what's there to be afraid of Jiang Xia coming here? Let this enthusiastic high school student come. If you think about it carefully, his presence is actually a good thing."
Judy took a deep breath, tiredly but skillfully adjusting her mindset. "This means that as long as I don't do anything, I won't be arrested by the police for false accusations like 'murder'. As for other things, such as the Uzo that Jiang Xia might attract... let's just take it one step at a time."
Jiang Xia looked at the murderous smell of French fries that exploded and fell off automatically, and was quite satisfied with the results of his trip today. It was worth it for him to make this special trip after receiving the call.
While he was directing the ghosts to bring back the fresh and hot murderous aura, he parked his motorcycle in the parking lot.
After that, he hung up his helmet and went back outside the store. Just as he met up with the other three people, he saw a truck driving in the night and slowly stopped beside the convenience store.
"This is the delivery truck," Suzuki Sonoko recalled. "I remember the male clerk said the goods would be delivered every night."
Mao Lilan nodded, feeling that this was a point of concern. She murmured, "These goods are usually piled up in the warehouse. The other employees go home directly, leaving the goods for the colleagues who come back the next day to sort them out. Only Xiao Xuan will sort out the pile of boxes before leaving get off work..."
As they were talking, several deliverymen got off the truck, took out the carts, skillfully piled the goods on the carts, and pushed them into the convenience store.
Nanakawa Xuan, who was busy at the front desk, saw this scene and was stunned: "Why are you here so early today?"
The deliveryman smiled and greeted her. He was obviously familiar with the store and said, "Then we'll leave the goods in the warehouse in front of the toilet, just like before. Remember to check them."
The male clerk next to him heard this and quickly stopped him: "Not now! It's too early, and there are many customers waiting in line to use the restroom in the warehouse."
"Really?" The deliveryman was a little worried. After thinking for a while, he turned the cart in another direction and said, "Then I'll go deliver to a few other stores first and come back later."
The male clerk politely sent the man away.
Jiang Xia watched the delivery man come out of the store, get in the truck, and the truck quickly left.
He retracted his gaze and looked at Mao Lilan: "How about it, do you have any ideas?"
"!" Mao Lilan shuddered, suddenly feeling as if her teacher was sitting next to her during the exam. She racked her brains to think, "When there are customers, the warehouse cannot be piled with goods... Xiao Xuan will sort it out..."
Trying hard to put all the clues together, she suddenly had some understanding.
"But..." After hesitating for a moment, Mao Lilan looked at Jiang Xia and whispered, "But I feel that my speculation seems a bit outrageous."
Judy just wanted to get this over with. She encouraged him, “When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
Mao Lilan: “!”
Suzuki Sonoko: "..." What was he mumbling about? Why were they suddenly doing English listening? Oh no, she was a little distracted and wasn't listening carefully at all...
She turned her gaze quietly towards Jiang Xia: If I remember correctly, Jiang Xia's English seems to be very good.
The almighty classmate received her call for help, and Jiang Xia repeated it in plain language: "'When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how implausible, must be the truth' - this is a line from Sherlock Holmes."
"I see!" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized, "I've heard this before!"
It was even very familiar, but I didn't expect Teacher Judy to be so unethical as to say it in English.
Speaking of which...
Suzuki Sonoko looked to the side and found that Mao Lilan was suddenly enlightened. She said in surprise: "Xiaolan, do you know what's going on?"
Mao Lilan nodded, still not very confident, but... since Jiang Xia didn't say it was wrong, then she should have guessed right?
Mao Lilan: "..." However, she just thought about her own reasoning in her mind and didn't say it directly. Jiang Xia should not know what she thought.
At this time, the peak period just now passed, and the number of people in the store was decreasing at a fast rate, just as it had suddenly increased.
Seeing that the store was gradually becoming quiet, the manager put down his work and thought about what had just happened.
He walked to the cashier and said to Nanakawa Xuan: "Have you seriously reflected on this? It's time to confess."
Nanakawa Xuan said helplessly: "But, I really didn't take anything from the store..."
Ran Mao Li was always paying attention to the movements of her classmates. When she found out that the store manager had gone to see Nanakawa Aya again, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Jiang Xia looked at this classmate who seemed to lack confidence for some reason, patted her shoulder, and said solemnly, "Go, there are people waiting to be saved by you."
"Ah? Me, me?" Mao Lilan was pushed towards the store door by him. She took two steps subconsciously, but soon stopped, "But what if I said something wrong..."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Every detective grows from mistakes—Uncle Maori, Inspector Megure, Sonoko, and my foreign colleague who hasn't been to the detective agency much recently... They all grew into who they are today after repeated brave trials and errors."
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of the people Jiang Xia mentioned, and her heart suddenly felt at ease: Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of in making mistakes! Compared with the innocence of an innocent person, if her reasoning was wrong, the most she would do is lose face.
Inspector Megure, Dad, and even Sonoko sometimes repeat the same mistakes every day, but these mistakes will eventually become nutrients and help them improve!
Compared with Jiang Xia, she was very unconfident, but compared with these other people, Mao Lilan suddenly felt that she was not completely incapable of reasoning.
And now, it's time for her to step onto the battlefield!
A righteous high school girl who was eager to rescue her classmates was quietly ignited.
Beside her, Judy looked at the scene, lowered her head and pushed her glasses up.
Judy: "..." Growing up from mistakes? This doesn't seem right. When did Jiang Xia deduce that he had made a mistake?
Without any growth process, this famous detective suddenly became a star in the mystery world.
As for the "inspirational examples" he cited, that's even more wrong: Inspector Megure, Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Kogoro...except for the last one who occasionally had a flash of inspiration and solved some cases, the others have worked hard until now, but it seems that there has been no progress at all!
