"Remember today at noon, I went out for half an hour? Do you know what I'm going to do? Lin Xiao asked.

The crowd shook their heads.

Lin Xiao took out something from his pocket and threw it on the table.

Only then did everyone see that it was a lock, to be precise, a padlock that was exactly the same as the padlock in the hotel room.

"You're going to buy locks? What's the use? Liu Moran asked puzzled.

"Could it be that someone bought a new padlock and dropped the lock in Liu Moran's room? It's impossible! Different locks, different keys are also different. Liu Moran can open the door with his own key, which proves that no one has dropped his lock! Xu Junfeng analyzed very calmly.

Zhao Defu added: "That's right! It's the same with my room, my key can be opened without being locked. ”

"Of course, it's not a clumsy ploy to drop the bag." Lin Xiao said, "Can't you think long-term? ”

Everyone shook their heads, unable to figure it out.

The young man who was locked by Lin Xiao's wrist changed his face, and then he stiffened his neck again, looking like he had been wronged.

"Still don't admit it?" Lin Xiao glanced at him and said, "At noon today, I went outside for half an hour, turned around all the two nearby streets, and found that there were three hardware stores with locks for sale, and two of them had the same padlocks as our hotel. However, only one of them has sold this padlock in three days, and only one padlock has been sold, which was yesterday! This is thanks to the fact that there are few people on the island, otherwise, it would not be so easy to find out, hehe. I asked the boss again if he knew the person who bought the lock yesterday......"

As he spoke, Lin Xiao stared at the young man with unfinished eyes.

Although the others were puzzled, they also thought that Lin Xiao was not untargeted, so they all looked at the waiter at the same time.

A trace of panic flashed on the young man's face, and he said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Liu Moran asked Lin Xiao: "The owner of the hardware store recognized that he bought it?" Is that right? ”

"Nope." Lin Xiao shrugged, "It's a pity that although the boss only sold one lock, he also sold many other things, and there was more than one customer, and it was impossible for him to remember every customer." ”

Everyone was even more surprised, since the hardware store owner didn't dare to identify it, why did Lin Xiao think it was this person?

The young man had confidence and said, "Then why do you think it's me?" I'm going to call the police! You're slandering! ”

"Really?" Lin Xiao smiled weirdly, "Then what is in your right pocket?" ”

"This ......," the young man froze.

When Liu Moran heard this, he reached into the waiter's pocket, and sure enough, he took out a padlock that was exactly the same as the lock Lin Xiao bought, and there was a key on the lock. She was stunned and said, "Is it really him?" However, how can I enter my room without knowing that I have bought a padlock? ”

The young man said angrily: "What's wrong with buying a lock? Is it illegal to buy locks? Besides, can I get into someone else's house if I buy a lock? ”

Everyone looked at Lin Xiao one after another, obviously, the waiter was right, buying a lock does not mean that you can enter someone else's room.

At this time, the other two waiters also found out that their companions were being "bullied", one stayed to watch, and the other informed the boss to go. Of course, Lin Xiao also had someone on his side to find Zhang Qian.

Lin Xiao let go of the little young man and said with a smile: "Then I will tell you how to use this lock to enter someone else's room." Not only Liu Moran's room, but everyone's room can be entered, and he does not break the padlock or the protective fence. ”

Everyone pricked up their ears, is there really a way?

The young man looked at Lin Xiao incredulously, a little panicked, his eyes rolled wildly, and he seemed to be about to flee, but he was already surrounded by students.

"It's simple, let's make a scenario guess." Lin Xiao picked up the two padlocks, opened them separately, and then said, "One is my lock, and the other is his." When I open the door, we usually remove the key and the padlock remains unscrewed. At this point, just swap the other identical padlock with mine, and you see, what's going on? Lin Xiao said, switching the positions of the two unscrewed locks.

"Shhhh

It's the sound of students gasping, it's that simple!

Liu Moran exclaimed: "The padlock is exactly the same, and you don't need a key when you lock the door, just press the padlock." So, all the time, you won't notice that the lock has been dropped. And the lock is his lock, and when you leave, he can take his key and open the door and enter. When he leaves, all he needs to do is re-hang your lock on the door, lock it again, and when you return, your key can open the lock, only to find that someone has entered the room. In this way, it creates the illusion that the lock and the fence have not been broken, but someone has entered! So, that's how he entered my room last night! ”

After Liu Moran's analysis, everyone woke up to the fact that this matter seemed mysterious, but in fact, it couldn't be too simple to put it bluntly.

The waiter was seen by everyone to take a step back, and said with a stiff neck: "I bought the lock, how about it?" Could it be that buying a lock proves that I entered her room? ”

"Proof? Of course I have. Lin Xiao said, "Actually, the only useful information I got from the hardware store owner was that he told me that I bought the lock with a new face, that is, not from this island." That's why I suspect it's the three of you waiters, and at first, I wasn't sure which one of you it was. Until Liu Moran showed me the 'footprints' of those 'ghosts'. ”

"What, what footprints?" The young man said.

"White footprints." Lin Xiao said confidently, "Why white?" You entered while we were watching the tide and swimming, right? At that time, it happened to be after breakfast, and you had just met with you, and before you had time to wash your hands, you couldn't wait to go to Liu Moran's room. Those white marks are the flour on your hands. And, I inquired, you are a pastry chef in charge of steamed buns and steamed buns for breakfast. ”

At this time, another waiter next to him was surprised: "He, he is really a pastry chef specially invited by our boss!" ”

The young man's face suddenly turned to ashes.

Lin Xiao spread his hands: "Look, the result is obvious, right?" Also, I have evidence that the little finger of your right hand is missing, so the palm print that ordinary people press on the wall is four fingers, and you leave three fingers. That's why I just asked you to take that plate of shredded potatoes, and the moment you reach out, you know it's you. ”

"You don't have any evidence, it's just your guess!" The young man roared angrily, in fact, he was just denying, and his expression had betrayed him.

Lin Xiao smiled disdainfully: "You don't have to hide it, your acting skills are terrible, what is the truth, you just need to check your fingerprints and the flour-stained fingerprints in the room often, and it will be revealed." Is that right? ”

The water came to the ground, and the students looked at Lin Xiao with admiration, but Liu Moran was a little disappointed, so easy to catch the thief? Moreover, it's not a ghost yet......
