Chapter 593 Let's put on a show and ask for monthly tickets (〃〃)
"When Mr. Okami held the cup, potassium cyanide got on his thumb. He bit his thumb and died on the spot. When we entered the restaurant, we chose seats randomly.
“That is to say, potassium cyanide was probably smeared on all the teacups, and each of our hands is now stained with potassium cyanide.
“If you use such hands to pick up a coin with copper rust, an oxidation-reduction reaction will occur, causing the coin to become brighter.
"Grandma Qianjian took the rusty coin far away from her first, probably because she was worried that if it was taken by someone else, the person who got it would see the coin become brighter and find out that everyone's hands were stained with potassium cyanide."
The cowboy detective laughed, "And if this fact is exposed, she won't be able to plan to kill me."
At this point, he shook his hand and looked at "Jiang Xia" and Amuro Toru who had just returned: "During the time you were out, we simply checked each room.
"Under the pillows of each room, there are guns hidden for us to kill each other. The door handle of the control room is equipped with a killing device that ejects a poison needle when twisted... In addition, the old woman has probably already chosen my 'method of death' - as long as I relax and smoke with my hands stained with potassium cyanide, I will soon die of the poison."
...Chiken Kyoudai was probably blinded by the treasure and was only focused on writing a murderous script, without considering the success rate of playing tricks on a group of detectives.
"But..." Gunda Ikumi sighed, "The problem now is how to get her to tell me how to leave here. We can't just arrest her and torture her - even if she did it, I don't think she would tell us."
As he said this, a voice suddenly came from above his head.
——Someone naturally joined their conversation:
"In that case, why not follow her wishes and stage a 'mutual slaughter' scene that she wants to see for her. Then, when I am the only one left after 'death', I will help you find a way to leave here..."
“?!”
Several detectives were stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised their heads and looked upward in shock.
I saw a person appear on the open-air balcony on the second floor, diagonally opposite here.
The young man in black was leaning casually against the railing. When he saw everyone looking up, he raised his hand and pushed the light-colored sunglasses on his nose, revealing a pair of eyes that were slightly smiling but deeper than the night sky.
“……”It was “Kurosawa Sa” who was sent away by them with an excuse just now.
...a companion of Chikenpo.
"Did you send me away just now because you were worried that I was her accomplice?"
The young man seemed to be able to read people's minds and accurately pointed out the questions that everyone was thinking about.
Under the vigilant and surprised gazes of the detectives, he stretched out his hand and jumped lightly from the balcony, then walked towards the crowd very naturally and blended into them:
"Don't be nervous. I only knew her a few hours ago and took a ride with her on the way here. To be honest, our relationship is much more superficial than that of you detectives who are familiar with each other."
"..."Others recalled the previous interactions between Chikan Nozomi and "Kurosawa Sa" and were skeptical, "But she seems to take good care of you..." Are you really not her grandson or some junior like that?
"We are not related."
The wind is very strong in the mountains. Even under a large awning, there are still fine raindrops falling in.
Uzo took off his water-soaked sunglasses and explained the confusing relationship between the old and the young:
"That old lady seemed to be taking good care of me, but in her eyes, I was a traveler with a terminal illness who came to the mountains to commit suicide. She thought that I was just like her, with a short life span, and that I was destined to die here, so she developed a brief affection for me... Well, probably, although she didn't say it, but I guessed it was like this. Her pity and the murderous intent hidden behind her sympathy were too obvious."
“……” There are many flaws and key points in this sentence.
The detectives looked at him with complicated eyes, not knowing where to start.
In the eerie silence, Uzo leisurely wiped the water off his sunglasses and put them back on his nose.
I found that it was quickly wet by the rain, so I simply pushed it up and put the sunglasses on top of my head, while at the same time pressing down the curly hair that was messed up by the mountain breeze.
Then he continued, "From the results of your search of the villa, even if you really find the treasure, I'm afraid Granny Qianjian will not let the person who solves the puzzle leave as she promised.
"But if it was me who asked the question, and she was facing someone like me who had no desire to survive and only wanted to know 'how to escape from this isolated island in the deep forest' out of curiosity, she might treat the method of escape as the answer to a puzzle and answer it for me. After all, you detectives all seem to love answering other people's questions. If I remember correctly, Granny Chijian is also a famous detective, and she should have picked up this habit as well."
“…”
Several detectives who "knew that other detectives had also deduced the general situation, but still couldn't help but carefully explain their own reasoning when they gathered at the door just now" fell silent, feeling as if they had been stabbed in the heart.
They really like the thrill of telling the answer to a mystery. But, but there is a reason for this - they have to compare the answers, otherwise if someone pretends to know the answer, it will affect the plan...
Speaking of which, the term "you detectives"... always sounds a bit weird, like something the villains who stand against the detectives like to say, such as Kaito Kid.
in addition……
Amuro Toru frowned and picked out another key word in his words: "Terminal illness? Coming here to commit suicide?"
"It was just a casual remark." Wu Zuo glanced at the wreckage of the vehicle he had taken and sighed helplessly:
"My car broke down on a small road, and there was no signal in that area, so I had to go to the main road to ask for help and try to hitchhike to other people's cars to get to more populated areas.
"And a young man dressed like me." He looked down at his black clothes and pointed at the sunglasses on his head. These two items are also standard equipment that many villains like. "If I stop an old lady in the mountains and ask for a ride, she might be scared and refuse to let me get on. And there are very few cars passing by there. I was worried about missing the opportunity, so in order to make myself look less threatening, I had no choice but to make up such a lie."
Others: “…”
...To be honest, apart from the dangerous look that occasionally appeared in his eyes, the young man in front of me looked very far from being "scary".
On the contrary, he always seemed to be able to subtly give people a sense of closeness - even if he spoke directly to her, Grandma Qianjian would probably not refuse his request for a ride.
And, putting that aside...
Compared to "the unlucky passerby who wants to ask for help after his car breaks down", "the person who is terminally ill and wanders around in the mountains, looking for a place to commit suicide" is not more terrifying!
