"Finally, it's a show." Tang Lin, who was stabbed, said as if nothing had happened. Then, under the surprised eyes of the maid, she held her right hand and pulled out the dagger inch by inch.After seeing that there was no blood stain on the dagger, Mao Li, who was nervous on the side, finally felt relieved, stood quietly, and listened to Tang Lin's next words, "Matsuda, no, I should call you, Miss Matsumoto, right?" .”

The dagger in the maid's hand fell to the ground, and she looked at her in shock: "How do you know?"

"Because you and Miwako look almost exactly the same, I have recognized you since the first time I saw you." The dead butler Matsumoto walked in from the door, and the person who followed him was exactly Conan who lost his trace from the very beginning, with a stinking face.Matsumoto looked at the maid with a complex expression of joy and guilt, "Back then, I was indeed the one who was sorry for your mother. Since you didn't intend to recognize me, I just pretended I didn't know anything. look."

"You guy, why are you still saying such things now?!" The maid Matsuda Takako was very emotional, "Mother would rather work hard while dragging her seriously ill body, and live in the original place, just to wait You come back. But why didn't you go find her, mother, she was still chanting your name until she died!"

"The reason why you came to Suzuki's house as a maid is to kill Butler Matsumoto, that is, your father." Tang Lin took off her glasses, looked at the maid and said, "It's just that before you did it, your father would kill you." He is already dead, and he died so miserably. When you saw your father's body, you suddenly realized that you actually don't hate your father as much as you imagined, right? "

After removing the influence of the glasses, Takako Matsuda still had a good impression of Tang Lin above the standard level. When she heard her say that, she immediately looked at her with a puzzled expression: "How do you know?"

"Because when you were sure that I was the murderer who killed Butler Matsumoto, you rushed forward impulsively and wanted to kill me to avenge your father, didn't you? If I didn't realize that I replaced the dagger on your body, I I'm afraid he's dead now." Even after saying this, Tang Lin still had a relaxed smile on her face, "As for why I knew you were going to kill Butler Matsumoto, because someone entrusted me Stop her stupid daughter from doing something that I regret." Tang Lin said helplessly as she watched the woman with a gentle smile bow to her in mid-air and then gradually disappear.

Seemingly understanding who Tang Lin was talking about, Takako Matsuda was stunned for a moment, then sat down weakly on the ground, covering his face and sobbing softly.

When Butler Matsumoto stepped forward to comfort him, Tang Lin also walked to Mao Li's side and thanked him with a smile: "I really want to thank Mr. Mao Li for his cooperation just now."

"Where is it?" Mao Li, who followed Tang Lin's instructions from the beginning to the end, scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling that he couldn't feel complacent.

On the side, Conan interjected curiously and asked, "Brother Kimura, how did you create the scene just now?" He had already seen the brutal scene before Takako Matsuda screamed, and the result didn't wait. When he made any noise, this guy covered his mouth from behind and became dizzy. At that time, he thought he was going to be murdered to silence him.Finally, when he finally woke up, he saw the dead person appearing in front of him with a smile. He was almost frightened and fainted again, okay?That's why he looked so stinky when he appeared with Matsumoto.

"It's not a great mechanism, it's just a small cover-up." Tang Lin said with a light smile.

From the illusion created by Tang Lin, Takako Matsuda, who had already recognized her feelings, finally forgave Butler Matsumoto, and still worked at Suzuki's house as a maid.And when Conan thought that the abnormalities in the past few days were caused by Takako Matsuda to divert everyone's attention in order not to be suspected when doing it, Tang Lin made her own request: "If you can trust me, please take that Give me a piece of ancient jade from the Warring States Period. In this way, the strange situation of Suzuki House will not happen again."

"Do you already know the reason?" Sonoko asked excitedly.

Tang Lin nodded, took everyone into the collection room, walked to the ancient jade, and explained: "Since ancient times, jade has had a very special status. After finely crafted jade embryos, It is possible to produce spirituality, and this jade pendant is also the same. A spiritual jade will record what happened around it, and as long as the jade itself is not damaged, these records will always be preserved. Moreover, in a special Under certain circumstances, what is recorded in jade will be released, just like the past history repeating itself."

"That is to say, the strange things that happened in my family recently are all the memory of this jade pendant." Yuanzi concluded.

"Miss Yuanzi is really smart." Tang Lin nodded in praise, causing Yuanzi to smile excitedly, "Because it is not caused by monsters or resentful spirits, but a natural phenomenon, it will be more troublesome to seal it. If you If you don't mind, just give me this jade pendant as a reward for solving this incident."

Although Maori and Conan didn't believe what she said, neither Sonoko nor Suzuki Shiro had any objections, so Tang Lin successfully harvested an ancient jade from the Warring States Period.

After saying goodbye to the Suzuki family and the Mori family, Tang Lin thought that there seemed to be no ingredients at home, so she got off the car halfway and went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and daily necessities.Buy what you need, walk out of the supermarket, and walk to your home.Before he had gone far, when he passed a big tree, a boy with short orange hair jumped down from the tree with a cat in his arms, just in time to crush Tang Lin who had no time to react.Tang Lin suddenly thought of her previous encounter with Chunfei. Could this be the legendary retribution?

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Realizing that he had overwhelmed someone, the boy immediately stood up, let go of the cat in his hand, and stretched out his hand towards Tang Lin with a frown.

Tang Lin got up silently. She didn't hold his hand, nor did she pick up the ingredients scattered all over the floor. Instead, she took out a bag from her bosom, and opened it. It contained the food she had bought from Suzuki's house before. The ancient jade obtained (deceived) is just that the original complete ancient jade has been broken into two halves at this time.

Before the embarrassed boy could apologize, Tang Lin sighed softly: "This is terrible. This is an ancient jade from the Warring States period, and its market value is more than 500 million."

The boy's face froze instantly.

Tang Lin continued: "The most important thing is, this is not mine. Although the employer agrees with me to take it home, it must be returned to the employer after sealing it. How can I explain it to the employer now? .”

The young man with a certain spiritual ability also turned blue when he noticed the unstable spiritual power fluctuating on the jade pendant.

Tang Lin raised her head and looked at him, expressionless: "Tell me, what should I do."

"I'm sorry!" The boy immediately bowed his head and apologized, "I will bear all the consequences, please let me apologize to your employer."

This guy is so honest that people can't bear to look directly at him.Tang Lin looked at the young man with his head down and thought silently, then stood up, put the fragments of the ancient jade into the kit, put them in his arms, and said to the young man in a somewhat erratic tone: "Forget it, everything is broken. Even if you apologize, it won't help."

After hearing Tang Lin's voice, the teenager felt even more guilty: "Then, is there anything I can do to help?"

Tang Lin thought for a while, nodded and said, "When you say that, I really thought of one thing. My detective agency is short of assistants. If you don't mind, you can go to my detective agency to work. repay."

"But I'm still a student now." The boy said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, as long as you have a part-time job in your free time." Tang Lin took out her business card from her pocket, "It's already very late today, and tomorrow happens to be Saturday. If you have time, you can come and have a look. I'll try to get you to do some assistant work, and if you can't do it, forget it."

The boy took the business card and said very seriously: "I will definitely go tomorrow."

Tang Lin nodded noncommittally, and packed up the scattered ingredients. Before leaving, she suddenly turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ichigo Kurosaki."
