Conan: Another Famous Detective

Xiaolan opened the paper ball with anticipation.

A number 9 written in red ink came into view.

"Wow! I won the prize!" Xiaolan said in surprise.

The salesman also laughed: "Congratulations, miss. I didn't expect you to be so lucky."

"Well! What's the prize?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

The man first put down the box, then took off the backpack he was carrying behind him, unzipped the backpack, took out a pink kitten doll and handed it to Xiaolan:

"According to the number you drew, miss, you will get this cute cat doll!"

"Thank you!" As soon as Xiaolan saw this kitten doll, she was instantly attracted by its cuteness, and immediately reached out to take the doll and hold it in her arms.

The salesman zipped up the backpack again, then put the backpack on his back, picked up the box, and nodded slightly to everyone: "Okay, excuse me for disturbing you, I'm leaving first!"

"Yeah! Goodbye!" Yu Gongming smiled.

After waving to a few people, the salesman hugged the box and left.

After the salesman's back disappeared, Yu Gongming's expression suddenly became serious.

He looked at Xiaolan and said in a deep voice: "Xiaolan, can you show me that kitten doll?"

"Eh?" Xiaolan was stunned, but after seeing Yu Gongming's serious expression, she immediately handed the doll to Yu Gongming.

Yu Gongming first weighed the weight of the bear doll, and then pressed on the bear doll's body.

After a moment, he frowned, moved closer to the bear doll, and looked at the position of the doll's eyes.

After a long time, he raised his head and squinted his eyes.

"Did you find anything?" Conan asked.

"Not sure yet..." Yu Gongming frowned.

"Senior Hanomiya, is there something wrong with this doll?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.

"I don't know if there is something wrong with the doll, but there must be something wrong with that salesman!" Conan said calmly.

"That salesman?" Xiaolan wondered.

Yu Gongming nodded: "Yes, Xiaolan, didn't you realize that from beginning to end, he never said which store he was a salesman for?"

Xiaolan blinked, and then she also showed a look of surprise: "That's right! Although there are pictures of fried chicken and burgers on the box, there is no name of the store!"

"Not only the box, but also his uniform does not indicate which store he is an employee of." Mengyu added.

"As a salesman, since it is for store promotion, you should not miss such important details no matter what." Hanemiya Ming said.

Conan pushed up his glasses: "Besides, when he opened his backpack just now, I took a look. Apart from the bear doll, there seemed to be nothing else inside."

"But according to what the salesman said, if the numbers drawn are different, the prizes should also be different."

“If there were originally multiple prizes and only the kitten stuffed animal was left, the salesman probably wouldn’t say anything [according to the number you drew].”

“Because there is only one prize left, there is no need to get the prize [based on numbers].”

"Yes!" Yu Gongming nodded lightly: "So, I suspect that the salesman actually wanted to give us the kitten doll in the name of a lottery."

"No doubt, it was probably given to us specially." Conan said calmly.

"Huh? How do you say that?" Meng Yu asked doubtfully.

Conan stretched out his hand and opened his palm slightly.

I saw several open papers spread out on his palm.

"This is..." The three of them looked at the paper in Conan's hand and their expressions changed slightly.

I saw the number 9 written in red ink on several pieces of paper in Conan's palm!

"Could it be that..." Xiaolan's eyes widened slightly.

"This is the paper ball I secretly took from the box while he was giving Sister Xiaolan a doll." Conan said calmly:

"As you can see, they all have the same number 9 written in red ink."

"That is to say, no matter which paper ball you draw, Sister Xiaolan, you will only [win the prize] in the end, and then successfully get this kitten doll."

"Then why did he do this?" Xiaolan asked puzzled.

Yu Gongming's eyes flashed slightly: "He should just ensure that the doll can get to us, rather than targeting any of us."

"Because he is not sure who is going to draw the lottery, and whose hands the doll will fall into after being drawn."

"Not necessarily. Pink dolls like this usually fall into the hands of us girls. He may have targeted Xiaolan and me by giving this doll away," Mengyu analyzed.

"However, at least so far, I have not found anything strange on the surface of the kitten. There is no pinhole camera found in the eyes, and there is no feeling of hard objects elsewhere."

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the whole doll." Yu Gongming looked down at the doll: "If it is targeting you two girls, then this doll is too ordinary, and it makes no sense..."

"Is it possible that you are overthinking it? In fact, that person just wants to give this doll away?" Xiaolan raised a new possibility.

Yu Gongming shook his head slightly: "If you really have good intentions, there is no need to be so secretive at all."

"Eh? There seems to be a hole in the neck of this kitten!" Mengyu said suddenly.

"Huh?" Yu Gongming turned the kitten over.

He observed it for two seconds, then gently pushed aside a bunch of down on the surface of the kitten's neck, and an inconspicuous suture crack appeared in Han Gongming's sight.

Yu Gongming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gently touched the edge of the crack with his fingers.

The crack was torn apart very easily, and the crack that was originally half a finger wide instantly expanded to half the size of a palm.

Yu Gongming raised his eyebrows and stretched his hand through the gap.

A feeling of cotton surrounded Yu Gongming's palm.

But as he continued to go deeper, an unusual touch suddenly came from Yu Gongming's fingertips.

Yu Gongming moved his arm, and when he pulled out his hand again, there was already a film bag in his hand.

Inside the film bag is a small envelope.

The envelope was neither addressed nor stamped.

"This is?" Xiaolan's face was full of surprise.

"Sure enough, there is something!" Meng Yu looked like she had expected it.

"Let's see what gift that gentleman wants to give us!"

Yu Gongming chuckled and opened the film bag three times.

After taking out the envelope, Yu Gongming glanced at everyone: "Are we going to open the envelope here?"

Everyone was still standing outside the restaurant door, and many pedestrians cast strange glances as they passed by. .

"Then go to that coffee shop!" Meng Yu pointed to the coffee shop diagonally opposite the restaurant.

Naturally, everyone had no objection.

Not long after, several people entered the coffee shop and sat in an inconspicuous seat in the corner.

"Okay! Hurry up!" Mengyu urged.

Yu Gongming nodded and then opened the envelope.

After digging around in the envelope for a while, Yu Gongming took out a piece of white cardboard.

Yu Gongming glanced at the contents of the card and looked slightly startled.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Several people looked at Yu Gongming curiously.

Yu Gongming also showed the contents on the card to everyone.
