Chapter 458: Xue Sui's Unwillingness

"What did you say? You actually cursed us to death?"

The couple was furious and looked like they wanted to ask Chen Jun for advice. The shop owner Jin Gu had no choice but to come out and act as peacemaker, "Everyone calm down, we are all here for a trip."

"Tonight I will solemnly introduce the project activities of our hotel and the prizes that can be obtained."

The shop owner clapped his hands, and the maid took out a very old-looking book from behind.

"This is the first edition of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle's famous work - A Study in Scarlet!"

"Wow~"

The Sherlock Holmes fans present were all shocked, including Conan, a die-hard fan.

Looking at that book is like a miser looking at a golden mountain or a lustful person looking at a stunning beauty.

Xuesui also moved slightly, and Chen Jun poked her arm, "You want this book too?"

"Of course." Xuesui nodded, "You are a fan of Agatha Christie, but you are not allowed to be a fan of Conan Doyle?"

"Shall I help you?" Chen Jun smiled, as if he had a chance to win.

Xue Sui turned her head away, "It doesn't make any sense for me, a Sherlock Holmes fan, to let you, a Polo fan, win you back. I want to get it myself."

"If a case happens this time and I take action, I would also like to become addicted to detectives."

The store owner Jin Gu had already spoken at this time, "If you want to get this big reward, you must complete the super difficult reasoning question and answer."

"This extremely difficult reasoning question and answer is just to test how much you admire Mr. Holmes."

The shop owner Kanaya spoke boldly and asked the maid to hand out the questionnaire, "Now the maid is handing out the Sherlock Holmes 1000 Questions. The payment deadline is before tomorrow's dinner, and only those with a total score of 990 or above can participate in the reasoning questions and answers after the dinner."

Mouri Kogoro asked, "What will happen if I don't get more than 990 points?"

"I'm sorry about that!"

The owner of the hotel, Kanaya, immediately changed his expression of indifference, "Except for Mr. Mori and Mr. Ito, if the rest of the people who choose to participate in the game cannot get more than 990 points, please leave my hotel."

The store owner was unusual and surprised many people.

And his attitude was so strong that many people were silent, including the couple just now. Even if they were not convinced, they could only hold it in.

"For the sake of caution, all mobile phones and reference books you carry must be handed over to the maid. I don't want anyone among you to cheat."

Mouri Kogoro said: "Is it okay if I don't participate in this super quiz?"

"Of course you can, Mr. Mori." The shop owner smiled slightly and added, "Even if you don't hand over your mobile phone, the hotel still has jammers and monitors and will monitor your status at all times."

"Remember, anyone who chooses to cheat will be awarded zero points."

"Boss, boss, can I participate?" Conan raised his hand and looked very interested.

"sure."

Everyone got the super questionnaire from the maid. Chen Jun did not want to participate in a sorority that was unfriendly to him, an Agatha fan.

He observed everyone carefully.

I saw that the store owner made many unreasonable demands, and even though they were equipped with devices that invaded privacy, many people showed little dissatisfaction on their faces.

All Sherlock Holmes fans can accept antique-level first edition books.

From this, he also learned the identity of the male and female couple. The boy is called Yan Ren, currently 22 years old, and is the president of the Reasoning Research Society of a university. The girl, Oki Reiko, is currently 21 years old and is a member of the Reasoning Research Society.

night.

Xuesui sat at the desk with great interest, writing the questionnaire questions, frowning from time to time, thinking hard.

"You still want to do it?"

"yes."

"The questions in this test paper are really interesting. It tests a lot of side questions. I'm thinking that if I fail, wouldn't I be very sorry for the store owner's kindness?"

"Do you really want that copy of A Study in Scarlet?"

"Of course, is this still false?"

"There are many ways to get it."

"Don't use crooked methods!" Xuesui concentrated on answering the questions, "I have to work hard to get the book on my own."

Chen Jun was speechless, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.

He learned from the system that he had perfectly completed the detection of 3 cases and was given an additional 3 months.

If that's the case, I can still stay here for quite a while.

The next morning.

The maid prepared a sumptuous breakfast early.

Everyone had a great time eating and being treated like guests.

Some fans who stayed up late last night to write the test questions couldn't help but solve the mystery and asked the maid, "Why didn't you see the innkeeper? Where did he go?"

"Hurry up and ask him to come out and change the test questions."

The maid hesitated, "My master wants me to entertain you, and he won't come out until after dinner."

After a whole day, the clock went from 12pm to 3:30am...

The crowd who were sitting at the dining table, waiting for the shop owner Jin Gu to come over to correct the test questions, became increasingly anxious.

Because the shop owner has not been seen for a long time.

"Damn it, I can't stand it. I want to go back to my room and sleep."

"It took me a whole day to write the test questions, but no one has seen them at all. The reception was so poor," a man said angrily.

"It seems that the rumors are true. This is a scam. Making the 1,000 test questions so difficult is not a good assessment at all. It is clearly a group of us gathered together to deliberately show off his collection. And it's beautiful.

It's called a festival for Sherlock Holmes fans, it's a joke." said the female fortune teller.

While everyone was disappointed.

Suddenly, a black car slowly drove out of the garage outside the hotel.

"The person in the car is the shop owner, and he is driving."

Conan's voice screamed, immediately leaving everyone behind.

The boy next to me who is the head of the reasoning research society, Hushi Yanshi, said proudly: "I just said, it must be the shop owner who is conducting a reasoning assessment on us."

"How can a real test question be just a piece of paper?"

"Look, the real reasoning and answering questions have now begun."

All the Sherlock Holmes fans looked over with bright eyes, a hint of excitement on their tired faces.

Is this a real Sherlock Holmes question and answer?

They watched the car slowly drive out attentively.

The direction we were heading towards was a cliff.

"Yeah, real reasoning is starting to die."

Chen Jun looked ahead, "Please answer the mystery of the shop owner's death!"

After saying this, he rushed out quickly. Everyone was immediately frightened when they heard this.

Why does the car driving toward the cliff show no signs of changing its course and is getting faster and faster?

Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong, and their expressions changed dramatically.

Conan had already run out, following closely behind Chen Jun, while Xiaolan, Yukiho, Mouri Kogoro and others also followed.

Mouri Kogoro yelled: "Boss Kanaya, stop quickly, there is a cliff on the other side, a cliff!"

The figure inside turned a deaf ear and didn't even look back.

The speed of the car is getting faster and faster, reaching nearly 40 yards.

"call!"

A beautiful parabola passed through the sky.

The entire car flew into the sky like a flying swallow, and then was affected by gravity and landed heavily!

————

The boss of Jingu was alive and kicking the day before, but now he is dead.

The death was so bizarre and horrifying that it frightened some Sherlock Holmes fans.

There is the sea at the bottom of the cliff, and there are no branches in the middle. No matter whether the people in the car survive or not, they will definitely die if they fall.

Mouri Kogoro announced: "Store Manager Kanaya, he and his car fell into the sea."

"It was probably suicide. I think he must not have wanted you to get the Sherlock Holmes collection, so he took the book with him."

After finishing speaking, Mouri Kogoro burst out laughing, laughing at his 'superb' and flawless reasoning.

Conan: "...."

"It's just nonsense."

The young president of the Reasoning Research Society, Goshi Kenju, mocked Mori and said: "I wonder if your title of Sleeping Kogoro was a lie. Mr. Kanaya regards you as someone who works side by side with Sherlock Holmes. That's bullshit."

"Bullshit reasoning."

Mouri Kogoro's face turned red, "What did you say, brat?"

Shanghai Yanshi said calmly: "It is entirely possible that Mr. Kanaya was murdered."

"First of all, I saw that he was driving relatively slowly at first. I thought that as long as the murderer killed Mr. Kanaya in advance and shifted the gear to D, the car would move forward automatically."

"The murderer may have committed the crime in the garage!"

"And the murderer is probably among us!"

Mouri Kogoro was not really stupid. He questioned, "Then, when the car is moving, why does the car accelerate faster and faster?"

"How can we do this without human intervention?"

"this?"

Shanghai Yanshi couldn't answer this point and looked embarrassed and hesitated.

Mouri Kogoro was proud and said sarcastically: "Young man, you must have read too many mystery novels. Not every case can be determined to be a murder."

"Besides, there's something strange about it."

"As I approached the car, I heard a wind-like sound coming from the car, not an engine sound. What's the explanation?"

The fortune teller in the crowd said, "That must be the sound of the air conditioner. It must have been turned on by itself when the engine was started."

"indeed!"

Oki Reiko from the Reasoning Research Club said: "It's been very hot recently, Kenju, and when we came here, the air conditioner was on in the car."

"What are you doing?"

Some Sherlock Holmes fans vented their frustration, "Suicide disguised as homicide, let's watch the show, put on a show with our lives, it's really fun."

Most people walked back to the hotel.

Xuesui did not follow the crowd, but bent down and looked at the car marks on the ground.

"You want to investigate the case?" Chen Jun asked with a smile.

Xuesui nodded and said, "I don't think Mr. Kanaya's death is that simple."

"What do you think?"

Chen Jun said with absolute certainty: "Kill him!"

"How did you know it was so fast?"

Chen Jun smiled and said, "You want to know?"

Xuexi snorted coldly, "I want to investigate the case myself." If she knew that Conan was Kudo Shinichi, she would definitely feel that the two people's mentality would be very similar, especially when Chen Jun had already seen through the conspiracy.

Chen Jun shook his head, helpless against Xuesui's occasional desire to win or lose on a whim.

On the edge of the cliff, Xuesui and Conan were seen with their heads lowered and carefully observing the car marks. It was obvious that they both had the same suspicion about the murderer.

only.

Yuki Sui is such a smart woman.

Will there be doubts about Conan's identity?

Chen Jun returned to the hotel, but the people in the living room were in a mess, everyone was worried and had bad tempers.

"What happened?"

Mouri Kogoro replied: "All the phones in the living room were destroyed, along with our personal phones."

"The murderer blocks the view!"

Chen Jun murmured, and Kogoro Mouri happened to hear this, "Do you also think there is a murderer?" He asked in a discussion tone.

"When I follow you, 99% of the cases I experience are homicide cases."

Chen Jun complained, "This is something that you almost don't need to think about. You should have figured out the rules around you." He blinked, wondering whether Mouri Kogoro understood.

At this time, Xuesui and Conan walked in.

"I looked in the garage and found that almost all the oil in the gas tank of the car in the garage was leaking, and the battery was dead and the car couldn't start at all."

"Oops, then it will be difficult for us to get out. It will be difficult for us to even call the police."

Everyone realized the problem.

The speechless Kenju, who had just been questioned by Mouri Kogoro, laughed wildly, "Hahaha, Mr. Mouri, let me just say it, there must be a murderer here, what do you say now?"

This time it was Mouri Kogoro's turn to find it difficult to refute.

He gave Chen Jun a hint of a look, and Chen Jun understood what he meant and immediately came to his rescue, "There is indeed a murderer, and you can see."

"He destroyed the phone, isolated us, couldn't call the police, and couldn't start the car, which almost made this place a temporarily closed state isolated from the world."

"This only proves that the murderer's thoughts of murder are still ongoing.

"It means that he may target each of you and carry out assassinations in different ways, and he may even be hiding in this room."

Chen Jun suggested, "If you don't want to die in an unknown situation, then please gather together and don't leave the team easily."

Many Sherlock Holmes fans looked at each other, wondering what to do.

Easier said than done, not everyone can become the real Sherlock Holmes when faced with a real murder.

After all, just staring at the corpse can exclude a large number of people.

"Oh, right."

Mouri Kogoro suddenly thought and pointed to the corner of the wall, "Isn't there a surveillance camera on the wall? It should have captured the murderer's whereabouts."

The maid bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mori, that's actually a lie. Mr. Kanaya said that deliberately to prevent someone from cheating."

"Damn it, we were tricked by him."

"but..."

Mouri Kogoro's eyes shrank, revealing a bright light, "We learned that the murderer asked the owner Kanaya to start the car at around 3:30 today, and a few hours ago, there were only 6 of us in the restaurant waiting for Mr. Kanaya.

Publish the answer."

"If you put it this way, it is impossible that only these 6 people committed the crime."

Chen Jun remained silent, but at this time Xuesui corrected Mao Li, "Mr. Mao Li, have you forgotten that the time of death of the deceased can be forged?"

"Besides, starting the car at 3:30 in the morning does not mean that the real cause of Mr. Kanaya's death was at that time, or even a few hours before."

Conan nodded, secretly agreeing with this inference.

"Nothing can be concluded too early before a real autopsy is done on the body of the deceased." Xuesui looked at Chen Jun and said jokingly, "I'm right, Mr. Forensic Examiner."

Xuesui made it clear this time that she wanted to solve a case, so Chen Jun had no choice but to cooperate and nod.

Xiaolan stretched out her hand to make a cheering gesture. She felt that Sister Xuesui was so beautiful now. She had the rational demeanor of Brother Ito when reasoning.

But no one expected it.

"Hahaha!!"

Oki Reiko from the Mystery Research Club suddenly raised her head and laughed, "I know who the murderer is."

Everyone at the scene looked over curiously.

She lit a cigarette with a calm expression and raised the corners of her mouth: "I already know who the murderer is, the murderer's modus operandi and the decisive evidence!"

"How do you know?"

Xuesui was unwilling and found it hard to believe.
