659 Detective Showdown & Gradient Tile
Yui's words surprised everyone.
Hattori Heiji glared and shouted, "Yui-san, you don't already know who the murderer is, do you?"
"Yes," Wei said lightly, "That guy has already revealed his flaws!"
"Who is it?" asked the Dusk Police Department anxiously.
Wei narrowed his eyes, suddenly chuckled, and said, "Police, help me prepare something, I'll show you a magic trick, the murderer will jump out on his own!"
"Gah?" the Dusk Police Department looked confused.
Soon, the only thing he wanted was brought up.
Bowls and bowls of miso soup.
One of the three prisoners placed a bowl in front of him.
"Is this miso soup?" "Do you really want to drink it?" "Well, if you drink it, you will know who the prisoner is, and it doesn't hurt to drink it......
Wei said in a cold tone: "Then, please be sure to drink it in one go." β
Compared to when Hattori asked just now, all kinds of complaints were constantly different, Only talking, the three of them obediently followed the rabbit without a tail and obediently picked up the bowl.
"It's also prepared for everyone, Hattori-kun, you have to drink it too! Oh, mourn, you don't have to drink, the child is too young to participate in this kind of magic. Seeing Wai stretching out his hand, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.
Wailing didn't protest, silently withdrew her hand, she was sure of one thing, but she must be playing tricks, otherwise why didn't she participate.
Heiji Hattori looked at the miso soup brought to him by the waiter, pursed his lips, and muttered, "It's just a bowl of miso soup, how can you let the prisoner jump out on his own?"
As he spoke, he drank it in one gulp, but was startled by the terrible taste in his mouth.
"It's so spicy! What's going on with this miso soup?"
Toyama and Ha were also confused, "Really! I know that Tokyo has a strong taste, but ...... That's too spicy, isn't it?
Next to him, a suspect named Gan Jiheng also blurted out, "They are right, it's so spicy, I can't drink it......"
Ay?
This sentence made everyone else dumbfounded.
"What's wrong? Don't you think it's spicy?" Hattori Heiji felt aggrieved, and he felt that he was the only one who was fixing him.
Mori Kogoro looked at the miso soup in his hand and said, "No...... It's true that there is too much salt, but it's not so much spicy as ......"
"It's salty, isn't it?" said Yui.
"Salty?" Hattori Heiji was stunned for a rare moment.
Yui explained lightly, "People in Tokyo say that it is spicy when they evaluate dishes with spices like curry and mapo tofu, but if you put too much salt, it is 'salty'...... Therefore, Mr. Gansu, who says that miso soup and savory ramen are 'spicy', is a Kansai ......"
[Explanation: There may be relatives here who don't understand, explain what this spicy and salty is all about.]
Xin γ: There are two meanings when describing the taste, one is salty and the other is spicy.
When used in Kanto, it often refers to spicy, while in Kansai, it is salty.
γγγ£γ±γ: When describing the taste, it refers to saltiness, which is a Kanto saying. γ
"Oh, hey, is it true?" Hattori Heiji was dumbfounded.
It was the first time he had heard of such a statement.
Next to him, Yuanshan and Ye grabbed Lan and asked, "Really, don't you call seawater spicy?"
"Yes, the taste of salt is what we call salty!" Lan nodded.
"It'sβit's just a slip of my tongue......" Gan Jiheng tried to justify.
Yui's tone was cold, "It's useless to try to defend yourself, that thing is still on you, right?"
Gan Jiheng's face turned white in an instant.
Wei snorted lightly, "You just served the bowl and drank the miso soup, and you can see from the bowl before you, your dominant hand is the right hand, but why do you smoke with your left hand?
She reached out and tapped on the table, and said, "You don't have a towel on your desk, because you stuffed it in your pocket, right? These are things that the police can know if they investigate, you know, you are the murderer who killed people with poisoned sugar balls, right?"
Gan Jiheng shook his body and spread out on the chair.
Others looked straight at it.
Conan is even more sensitive to the discovery that only the explanation of the case looks similar to herself, and she spreads out the matter step by step, but in fact, she shoots faster, more ruthless and more vicious, and will stab the prisoner in the most fearful place!
It's really, really!
Worthy of our guardian!
Next to it, Shiliang Zhenchun is shining in front of him.
Yui-chan, it's really strong!
The case was successfully resolved, Conan was fine, and Heiji Hattori was not happy about it at all.
Because not to mention that someone who keeps saying that he doesn't mix with the duel has stolen the limelight cleanly, the bowl of overly salty miso soup just now is the only revenge.
Yui only yawned and talked to Wai.
Wai raised his eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood.
Because of the previous case, Kamel simply made a note and was able to leave.
James and Judy came to pick him up early.
Seeing Kamel coming, Judy asked what was going on, then opened the photo she had posted earlier, and wondered, "Who is this child?"
"It's the high school student who arrived with Weisan and them, Judy, don't you remember?" said Kamal.
Judy looked at the child carefully and said, "It looks familiar, but it'...... Does James know him?" she handed the photo on her phone to her boss.
James glanced at it and said directly, "No, this girl...... I'm not impressed......"
"Hey, girl?" Judy's eyes widened.
"That said," said Kamel, with a look of disbelief at the mention of the subject, "I thought it was a boy, but it turned out to be a girl...... But you know so well~"
"I'm older, I'm seeing more people......" James didn't care at all.
Judy frowned slightly, looking at the photo.
Who does this girl look like?
When the group returned to the Maori Detective Agency, they all asked one thing, that is, what did Hattori Heiji do?
What are you doing here? Like every previous one, I came with a case.
If it is more peculiar, it is sent by someone who has passed away.
Only raised his eyebrows, remembering the Moon Shadow Island back then**.
Last month, Kohei Wakamatsu, the president of a design company in Tokyo, was killed while celebrating his birthday at his villa in Karuizawa, and the case is currently being investigated by the Otaki Police Department in Osaka Prefecture.
But ten days later, a letter arrived in Hattori's Heiji.
The sender of the letter is Wakamatsu Kohei himself, but the content of the letter is full of provocations, and it seems that it was written by Wakamatsu Kohei's murderer.
At the same time, the address and key of a villa were also sent with the letter.
"And then, you're going to wait for that ghostly guy, aren't you?" asked Mori Kogoro with his hands crossed.
Hattori Heiji laughed and said, "Of course I wanted to go in person, but I had a cold, so this guy took the key and went without permission......" The person referring to was Toyama Kazuha.
The corners of Yui's mouth twitched, "You're not afraid of Ye Chan?"
"Of course I'm afraid, so I called a few of my friends to go with me. "Toyama and Ye said it as a matter of course, "Just say it's okay to think of it as a 'test of courage' or something like that, the most important thing is that the place is not like a haunted house, the house is very clean, and it is also connected to electricity......"
Well, the others don't say anything anymore.
"And then, what did you find?" said Sera Masumi curiously.
"Uh...... Since there was no response to the knock on the door, we went straight in if we had to, so the 'temptation meeting' became a 'visit to the mansion'. Yuanshan and Ye grinned, "Until we were curious about the bathroom and wanted to take a sneak peek......"
Speaking of this, Yuan Shan and Ye's faces turned white.
Lan trembled beside him, and couldn't help but want to find someone to hide, but he saw that he was only a little far away, and there was a young lady next to him, so he simply hugged the crying and laughing in his arms.
Yui shook his head with a smile, rubbed Lan's hair, and continued to listen.
"As a result, we found a horrible man with long hair sitting against the wall in the bathroom...... "Toyama Kazuha stammered.
Conan also asked, "Did you talk to the other party?"
"What else are you talking about," Yuan Shan and Ye's faces turned even paler, "After I found that person, the lights went out, and as soon as I said to my friends, 'What should I do?' call the police' or something, I heard a creepy sound of clicking, and just wanted to run out, the light came on again, and the person who was there just now...... Disappeared ......"
Lan trembled and continued to hug the young lady in her arms.
Mori Kogoro was not interested, "I guess I took the opportunity to escape after using the remote control to turn off the power, right?"
Heiji Hattori also pouted and said, "If it were only because of this, I wouldn't have come to Tokyo, the point is that after the person disappeared, a note was left on the ground, on which was written on a typewriter, 'It's only my flesh/body that has disappeared, not words'!"
"Words?"
Hattori nodded and said, "Where that guy was leaning against the wall, three letters were engraved, and it was a big 'eye'......!
eyeβ¦β¦ Eye...... Is it?
"Did you replace it with tiles that don't have traces?" said Kogoro Mori.
"Impossible," Toyama Kazuha denied, "Those tiles are gradients that are getting lighter and lighter from top to bottom, and if you change to other colors of tiles, you will be spotted immediately!"
"Huh?" Yui asked in surprise, "Gradient tiles that are getting lighter and lighter from top to bottom?"
"Yes," Toyama and Ye nodded.
Mori Kogoro wondered, "Yui, have you thought of anything?"
Wei flipped through his phone, found a picture, and showed it to Yuanshan and Ye, "Isn't that the case?"
"Yes, that's it!" said Toyama and Ye in a lost voice.
Everyone saw that there were a little strange but wonderful gradient tiles on it.
Hattori Heiji's eyes widened, "It turns out that this tile is like this, no wonder when I go back later, that place has been remodeled......"
Lan also glanced at it curiously, and said in surprise: "Ah, sister, this gradient tile is so beautiful!"
Wei smiled helplessly, "Lan, this is not an gradient tile......"
"shaded diamonds......" is a visual illusion that many diamond patterns are added with the same color gradient and then arranged according to a certain pattern, which gives the appearance of a dull color and a bright color. β
"So, I was tricked......" Hattori Heiji gritted his teeth.
"What do you mean?" said Toyama Kazuha didn't understand.
Lan also raised his hand silently, "Sister......"
Seeing Lan's movements, he thought about it and decided to give the simplest answer, saying: "You just need to know that every tile is exactly the same, and this gradient color is just an optical illusion." β
Lan blinked, indicating that he didn't understand, but could only understand, "That is to say, this is not an overall gradient color tile." β
"Yes, exactly. Yui nodded in relief.
Completely ignore other people's black lines.
The author has something to say: in the face of Lan, there is always no bottom.
