Bandage fine tricks

Zhenbai followed her brother's gaze and looked over: "...off the field, please help...?" She asked.

——Is it the guide NPC for novice players in the game, the kind of NPC that will remind the player when the player is deadlocked in the reasoning game?

"It looks similar, but I don't think that's her role," Sorata said.

Zhenbai nodded: Compared with the guide NPC, the existence of the NPC detective girl is more similar to the mission issuer, and in most cases, these two responsibilities will not be combined on the same NPC, especially in reasoning games.

"If I remember correctly, she is a customer of this coffee shop, right? She has never been close to this place when the police collected evidence. Normally, she should know less information than us..." Kong Tailow Said, "Then, the most likely scenario..."

Zhenbai showed a serious expression: "...quality, exchange, quantity..."

——In the hands of the NPC girl detective, she holds clues that allow her to instantly determine who the murderer is!

Combined with what she said before, it is very likely that the clues she has are about the murderer's modus operandi!

Sorata showed a thoughtful expression.

After thinking for a while, he approached the waiter who was entrusted by the NPC detective girl to bring them into the coffee shop: "Sorry, may I ask where the deceased and Miss Kobayashi Mayumi are located?"

The waiter was a little surprised to be asked this question, but he quickly pointed out the location.

After getting the desired information, Sorata returned to Mabai, and he marked the seat of the deceased on the coffee shop seat displayed on his mobile phone: This position should be visible when they are outside, that is, explain--

"Bai, do you remember the other customers near this seat?" Sorata asked, swallowing what he wanted to know most, "Has she been here before?" without asking: he was afraid of affecting Bai's thinking.

Zhenbai shook his head: "...She, don't sit, here..."

Not here... In other words, he went in the wrong direction?

Sorata couldn't hide his disappointment: he thought it was the NPC girl detective who passed by or sat near the deceased before the incident, and heard something that made her sure that the murderer was Mayumi Kobayashi...

But right after, Zhenbai said: "...Here, sitting, a priest, uncle in clothes..." She pointed to a table near the deceased.

Sorata's pupils shrank slightly.

He didn't think it was a coincidence that a girl detective dressed as a nun, and a priest dressed as an unidentified man.

It is very likely that they know each other, or they came to this coffee shop together?

——From the male waiter, Sorata confirmed this.

"That is to say, the NPC detective girl dressed as a nun went to the table of the dead first, and then separated from her companions to go to the window." Looking at the new clues, Sorata fell into deep thought: According to the testimony of the waiter , she only stayed around the deceased for less than 5 minutes. At this time, the deceased was still alive, and judging from the fact that no one in the restaurant mentioned the dispute at that time, the relationship between the deceased and the eldest sister who was suspected of being the murderer The atmosphere is at least okay, even if it is very stiff, let others watch, and the table is a little silent.

If it is just silence, it should have nothing to do with her deciphering the murderer's method. That is to say, the deceased and the suspected murderer's elder sister should have been talking at the time, and some of the content of their conversation made the NPC detective in nun's costume find out after the murder. Immediately locked the murderer and simultaneously cracked the murderer's tricks.

Dialogues involving the method of committing crimes, combined with the time, environment, identities of both parties, and the purpose of their meal here...Think carefully, in that case, what topics will they use to chat to pass the time...

Sora was taken aback, could it be... related to the company's business?

By the way, the deceased was the president of Qianshan Club!

"...Brother..." At this moment, Zhenbai held up his mobile phone and signaled his brother to look at the webpage she found: it was a news about Qianshan Club.

As a club whose main business is high-tech, Qianshan Club ended its investment and cooperation projects with several laboratories in Academy City not long ago (judging from the content of the news discussion, it is the end request of Academy City) , As a result, the company's market value fell. Investors held a shareholders' meeting to question the president Maeyama Masato—Sorata noticed the time, it was a news report three days ago.

The news release website is a fairly authoritative website, and we can basically confirm the authenticity of its news, but if it is true, the real Qianshan should be in a state of desperation at this time, and he is busy solving the mess in the club. Do you have leisure time to come to taste delicious food?

Unless... the crisis of the club has been resolved.

But the crisis of this club originated from the end of Academy City's cooperation. To save the crisis, there are only two ways: first, to reconnect with Academy City's cooperation, or to find a high-tech research and development laboratory equivalent to Academy City's for cooperation ; Second, change the company's main business scope.

The latter can almost be said to completely destroy the company’s standing and then rebuild it. Once this is done, the situation will definitely be worse than before in the short term. , to make the company's profit statement numbers look good-if Qianshan Club chooses this path, the real Qianshan will take the club as his home and stay in the company at the moment, working hard to cope with the coming big wave.

So the option can only be one.

A research and development laboratory in the high-tech field that is equivalent to Academy City... This is almost impossible. The scientific level of Academy City is 30 years ahead of the outside world. It should have developed into a behemoth long ago, and it will not be just an "upstart" company in the high-tech field until today.

So there is only one answer. Qianshan Club has reconnected with Academy City and has reached a cooperation.

"...Appointments, clients..." Mashiro suddenly remembered what Police Officer Takagi said just now. One of the purposes of Maesan Masato and his secretary coming here is to wait for clients who have made reservations.

If the originally agreed person to talk to was the representative of Academy City...

"That's unlikely," Sorata said.

Zhenbai tilted his head, expressing his bewilderment.

"The deceased appeared here to reach a cooperation, so he should be focused on the upcoming negotiations at this time, and I'm afraid he doesn't have the mood to appreciate the food." Sorata said, his understanding of people's hearts made him very sure of his judgment.

But in this way, a new question arises: Since the re-connection with Academy City was unsuccessful, why can the deceased come here so leisurely to make reservations for meals and enjoy delicious food?

Sorata continued to read all kinds of news related to Qianshan Club, and found that it seemed that this club had a gang background many years ago, but the various decisions made in recent years have gradually washed himself clean.

If this is the case, combined with the secret rumors of the almost closed superpower academy before the chairman of Academy City changed a few years ago...

"Well, I'm really sorry, when can I leave..." Ms. Kobayashi Mayumi rubbed the handkerchief in her hand anxiously, and asked the Megure Police Department carefully, "I have to tell the vice president about the situation here, and I have to report The club, sorting out the unfinished work of the president... Yes, I'm sorry, I know that now that the president has been killed, it seems very cold-blooded for me to say this, but, but..."

Mayumi Kobayashi's eyes were red, and he suppressed crying and said: "The former mountain club has just been brought back from the brink of bankruptcy not long ago, if we don't handle the matter of the president properly, I'm afraid the club will... All employees of the club will face unemployment crisis..."

Tears of beautiful women will always make people soft, but this obviously does not include detectives who don't understand.

Sorata was thinking, and out of the corner of his eye, he found the NPC Detective No. [-] who was meditating—the high school student detective Kudo Shinichi walked up to Miss Kobayashi Mayumi: "I'm sorry, Miss Kobayashi Mayumi, you can't leave for the time being. "

"Why, why?"

"Because you are the real culprit in this murder!"

Kudo Shinichi was taken aback, because he didn't say the words just now—everyone in the coffee shop looked in the direction of the sound, and found that it was the boy who was suspected of being the suspect before.

"Mr. Sorata, you..." Megure Police Department didn't understand why someone who was afraid of the crowd just now suddenly said such words with full confidence.

——Looking carefully, not only the older brother, Mr. Sorata, is not trembling anymore, but the younger sister, Mashiro, is still holding his brother's hand, but there is no longer the fear of wanting to hide from anyone to see her before, and her expression has also calmed down .

What's going on with these siblings...

Not only did the Megure Police Department mutter inwardly, Kudo Shinichi was also a little surprised: that Mr. Sorata expressed his judgment, but how did Mr. Sorata discover this?

Wow, the high school detective was robbed of his lines.

Xiao Ba smiled secretly, with a gentle expression of compassion and compassion on his face, his expression unchanged.

In her vision, the dead Maeyama was hanging his obese body on Mayumi Kobayashi, trying to bite her throat with a ferocious face—of course, it was useless.

The dead cannot interfere with the world of the living.

Excluding ghosts and spirits with spiritual power.

Obviously, Qianshan Zhenren does not belong to either of these two.

"You, you murderer, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mayumi Kobayashi looked stern.

"Hey, the police didn't say I was a criminal! Although among the suspects, I seem to be the only one who has the strength to kill the deceased with a plastic mop handle, but don't forget, my character is a dead house It’s strange that a person who can’t walk more than 800 meters a year has that kind of strength!” The socially phobic teenager who was afraid of the crowd just now suddenly turned into a chatterer, with a calm expression on his face. Speaking, "Big sister, you..."

"I, what's wrong with me!" Mayumi Kobayashi asked eagerly, interrupting him, "I don't have the strength to defeat She..."

"...No, you have." Zhenbai's voice was not loud, but very firm, and he and his brother said in unison:

"The technology of Academy City."
