Chapter 200: Unfathomable Forest Steward

Heiji Hattori, a detective for high school students in Kansai, and Shinichi Kudo are called "Kudo in Kanto, Hattori in Kansai".

Just like Nan Murong always wants to try who is more powerful between himself and North Qiao Feng, this "Suit Department" classmate has long been holding back his strength and wants to try the strength of the "Dong Kudo" who is as famous as himself.

But what Hattori Heiji didn't expect was.

Before he could arrange time to go to the Kanto door-to-door kick gym, the situation in Kanto changed.

Detective Shinichi Kudo, who was originally the leader in Tokyo, suddenly disappeared.

Some people say that he was frustrated and discouraged again and again under Lin Xin's hands, so he washed his hands and retired from work.

Some people say that he is actually a strange thief Kidd, who absconded in fear of crime after Lin Xinyi's identity was revealed, and did not dare to show his face.

Both theories have been widely circulated, but no matter which one is the other...

It's all related to Lin Xinyi, a star management officer who has only recently emerged.

In conclusion, the undisputed fact is that Detective Shinichi Kudo was foiled by the management officer Shinichi Hayashi.

Heiji Hattori lamented and regretted this colleague he had never met, but at the same time, he also took great interest in Shinichi Hayashi, who defeated Kudo:

After all, it turns out that Shinichi Hayashi > Shinichi Kudo.

As long as he can defeat Lin Shinichi, then he will undoubtedly be stronger than "Higashi Kudo", and he can take off the title of the strongest high school student detective in Kanto Kansai.

And in addition to the battle for honor of the detective ...

What makes Hattori Heiji very unhappy is that his father, who is the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, still has a special respect for Lin Xinyi.

Mr. Hattori Heizou often paid attention to the methods and means used by Lin Shinichi to solve the case, and he always excitedly said at home that "detectives are gradually becoming obsolete, and the future will be the era of forensic science and technology."

Even, he took Lin Xinyi as a positive example, and educated his famous detective son to give up the "sunset industry" of detectives in the future and honestly follow him as a policeman.

In the future, detectives may not be qualified to enter the crime scene, and the power of the police is enough to solve the case.

"Detectives aren't going to be a sunset industry..."

"Dad, I'll prove it to you!"

Thinking back on these things, Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up with a raging fighting spirit:

Parents always praise "other people's children" at home, which is unpleasant in itself.

Not to mention, if he doesn't work hard, he will have to go home to inherit the family connections in the future and become that ordinary senior police official!

So, at this moment, in this crowded subway station...

Hattori's gaze was firmly locked on Lin Shinichi.

Lin Xin seemed to be buying tickets in front of the automatic ticket machine, so he did not hesitate to cross the long line of ticket buyers and squeeze to the front.

At this time, Lin Xinyi happened to be talking to his mobile phone:

"I'll go back now, I'll be there in half an hour."

That's all Hattori Heiji heard.

Then, Lin Xinyi hung up the phone, as if he was holding his wallet and continuing to buy tickets.

And because there were still one or two people in front of him, Hattori Heiji couldn't see his action of buying a ticket clearly, let alone which station Lin Xinyi bought a ticket.

Faintly, you can only see the subway line "Mihua Line" selected by Lin Xinyi on the ticket purchase interface.

And when Hattori squeezed to the front, Lin Xinyi seemed to have just finished buying the ticket, so he turned around directly and collided with him.

"You..." Lin Xinyi's expression was a little stunned: "Why are you kid here?" ”

"Haha." Hattori Heiji smiled a little smugly:

"It's not that simple to get rid of a famous detective."

"The detective still has a gold medal for avoiding death?" Lin Xinyi's face was a little unhappy: "Why did those police officers let you go so quickly?" ”

"Uh..."Hattori Heiji's face turned red.

On this point, it really doesn't depend on his detective skills.

"Ahem... In a word. ”

Heiji Hattori said very confidently:

"Steward Lin, my reasoning skills will definitely not let you down."

"Even if you don't want to fight me, it won't hurt you to take me with you as a consultant!"

said that it was a duel, but as long as he was allowed to appear at the scene of the crime, the case would naturally become a duel between him and Lin Xinyi.

With such an abacus, Hattori worked hard to persuade Lin Shinichi to get the opportunity to handle the case with him.

But Lin Xinyi's reaction was only impatience:

"Enough, I don't have time to play with you."

"If you want to solve the case so much, go back and study hard, take the police academy and come back."

Saying that, Lin Xinyi no longer paid attention to Hattori Heiji and wanted to leave directly.

But seeing that this guy was still blocked in front of him and didn't move, he couldn't help frowning tightly:

"What, I'm going to the bathroom now, and you want to follow along?"

Hattori was silent for a while.

And Lin Xinyi bypassed him impatiently and went straight to the bathroom.

At this time, Hattori Heiji sighed to himself:

"'Playing house'... Oh, it's completely underestimated. ”

"I'm not the kind of amateur who comes to join in the fun!"

"In that case, Administrator Lin, let me show you another hand!"

He looked at Lin Xinyi's distant back, and a smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he hurriedly walked to the front, grabbed a person who had just lined up behind Lin Xinyi and asked:

"Sir, do you know which station the person in line just before you bought a ticket to go to?"

"How do I know?"

"Who's going to stare at someone else buying a ticket?"

The passer-by who was pulled said with a stunned face.

"Have you seen how much money he spent on the ticket?"

Heiji Hattori continued to ask.

"I don't see clearly," the passerby replied subconsciously, "but I saw him put a few 100 yen coins into his hand and stared at them for a while." ”

"How many are there?"

"Three, or four?" The passer-by gave a vague answer, and then asked with a strange expression: "Why are you asking so carefully?!" ”

"Haha... Thank you very much. ”

Hattori's brain began to work rapidly, analyzing all the clues he had just captured:

"I couldn't see the whole process of Lin Xinyi buying tickets, and I didn't see where he bought it."

"But at least, I saw that the subway line he chose was the 'rice flower line'."

"And I didn't get in time for him to buy the ticket, and I didn't see or hear how many coins he tossed."

"But when he bought the ticket and was about to leave, I was already nearby, but I didn't hear the 'clang' sound of a machine spitting out coins for change."

"In other words, the money he put in should be just right, so there is no change."

"And the rice flower line..."

Hattori Heiji took a closer look at the subway route map, as well as the price list:

"The first stop of the rice flower line is here, and the direction of his destination can only be in the direction of the end point, which can be confirmed."

"The rice flower line is charged by station, and the price of each station is slightly different."

"Lin Xinyi just said on the phone again, 'I can get there in half an hour'."

"In that case, he can't take too many subway stops, and he can only sit as far as 240 yen."

There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes:

"Passers-by said that Lin Xinyi put 3 or 4 hundred yen coins in his hand at that time and stared at them for a while."

"Obviously, he used these hundred yen coins to buy his ticket."

"If Lin Xinyi buys a subway ticket at a price like 170 yen or 240 yen, there will definitely be a change situation."

"But I didn't hear the coins colliding during the change, which means that..."

"The subway ticket for the station that Lin Xinyi bought is an integer of 100."

"Combined with half an hour of commuting, reserve time to walk after leaving the station..."

"The answer can only be, the 200 yen Shida Station!"

In this way, Hattori Heiji successfully analyzed that the subway ticket he would buy would be a subway ticket to Shida Station through the three points of "I didn't hear the sound of change", "Lin Shinichi said that he could arrive in half an hour", and "Lin Shinichi stared at the 3 or 4 hundred yen coins in his hand for a while".

"Lin Xinyi is running to the toilet now."

"In that case, if I set off now, I will rush to Sida Station before him."

"If you wait for him at the subway exit of Shida Station again, the forest management officer who has no one in his eyes will be surprised, right?"

Hattori Heiji had such a beautiful picture in his mind:

He stood at the door of Shida Station with a smile.

And Lin Xinyi walked to the exit of the subway station, and his eyes were full of surprise when he saw himself waiting in advance.

The effect of this show is simply full.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji hurriedly took out his Tokyo subway card and ran to take the subway in a hurry.

..............................................

Twenty minutes later, Heiji Hattori had already arrived at Shida Station, where he thought Lin Shinichi would inevitably arrive, according to his reasoning.

"Although only a very superficial reasoning and investigative method was used this time, this preemptive appearance at his destination must have made him instinctively shocked."

"At that time, he will definitely not dare to despise my ability as a detective, and will agree to take me to handle the case together!"

Hattori Heiji thought so in his heart, and his smile was a little more expectant.

He was looking forward to Lin Xinyi's surprised expression when he saw him.

So, he stood upright at the exit gate of Sida Station, like a door god, his eyes were like a torch.

Five minutes passed...

"He's supposed to come, right?"

Ten minutes passed.

"Why haven't you come yet..."

Twenty minutes passed.

"Damn... Did he fall into the toilet? ”

Half an hour passed.

At this time, the smile on Hattori's face had become stiff.

He finally reluctantly realized that his reasoning had been wrong.

But where is the mistake? Why is it wrong?

"There is no sound of change", "I can arrive in half an hour", "Lin Xinyi stared at the 3 or 4 hundred yen coins in his hand for a while"...

The combination of these three points, plus the line of the rice flower line, should only be the answer to the four field station!

Hattori's gaze became serious and deep:

Unless...

Lin Xinyi didn't buy a subway ticket at all, so he didn't make change.

But this is extremely unlikely, after all, he has been standing in front of the ticket machine for so long, not to buy a subway ticket, what else can he do?

In that case, it seems that there is only one possibility left -

Lin Xinyi bought a subway ticket, and it was the Sidian Station he bought.

However, he did not take the subway to Shida Station as originally planned.

Because...

"He's already predicted, will I predict his destination?"

"So, in order to avoid my harassment, he specially changed the way he commutes?"

Thinking about it, Hattori Heiji's expression became extremely exciting:

The other party slipped away silently.

And he was stupid enough to stand in this Sitian station for so long.

Although there is no direct confrontation in this round, it has been invisibly divided into high and low.

"He even guessed my actions in advance...."

"It's really worthy of being the terminator of the detective era, it's really unfathomable!"

At this moment, Hattori Heiji's heart couldn't help but give birth to a trace of awe.

..................................

Fifty minutes ago.

In front of the ticket vending machines at the subway station.

Lin Xinyi picked and searched the only 3 hundred yen coins left in his wallet and put them in his hand, counted them, and his gaze became extremely complicated:

"Damn... The day before yesterday, I went on a trip to the hot springs and visited the fireworks festival, which cost too much money. ”

"The money that Aunt Mile promised to reimburse has not yet arrived... Now I only have 300 yen left. ”

"It's been a good day... Alas. ”

He stared at the poor 3 hundred yen coins, and finally made a reluctant decision:

Never mind... Let's go for a run.

Tell Xiao Ai, wait for half an hour, it's almost time to run.
