Chapter 369: Mage Lin Xinyi

The next day, Jin came to the door of the cinema.

On this day, Didan Primary School, which had not been in serious class for a few days, was on holiday again.

And this holiday is rare that there is no outing, Conan is out of the cage, and there is nothing to do for a while.

So, the senior nanny Dr. Asa gave him a bunch of free movie vouchers and asked him to take a few children from the Junior Detective Group to the cinema for a pleasant movie trip.

Of course, this was not pleasant for Conan:

"Gomera! Gomera! ”

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Yuantai, the three friends shouted with great determination:

"It's hard for us to come out and play, we must watch the Gomera series!"

"Uh... But aren't we a group of young detectives..."

"The detective group should watch such a mystery movie, right?"

Conan hung a black thread and struggled to speak up for his hobby.

But his one-man opinion is obviously no match for the fierce public opinion:

"Don't reason about movies..."

"When you come out to play during the holidays, you must watch a relaxing and enjoyable movie!"

"And..."

The friends said confidently:

"We have 3 votes on our side, Conan you only have 1 vote."

"Watch Gomera today - there is a re-screening of the Gomera series of trilogies in the cinema, enough to watch it all day!"

"One, all day?" The corners of Conan's mouth twitched:

Is his precious whole day going to be buried in such a children's movie?

"Gray Yuan, and Lin Xinyi's brother..."

Conan, who was inferior in the election, wanted to fight to the death again.

He pinned his hopes on the other two companions who were present and had not yet expressed their position.

Both of these are adults.

You don't always choose a movie for kids to watch, right?

"Gomera." Lin Xinyi replied without hesitation.

He reacted slightly, adding, "I mean, you are the main characters today, or watch some movies that children like to watch." ”

"......" Gray Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly.

She immediately and unconditionally agreed: "I want to see Gomera too." ”

"Yay!" The friends are excited and inspired.

With a vote of 5 to 1, Conan no longer had room to struggle:

"Well, it's up to Gomera..."

He walked into the cinema dejectedly.

Lin Xinyi, Gray Yuanai, and the three children of the Junior Detective Group also followed suit.

The scale of this movie theater is not too large, although the decoration is considered high-grade, but it is full of old taste, and it looks a little old.

Such an old small movie theater has obviously been slowly eliminated in the fierce market competition.

When Lin Xinyi and the others came in, they saw that there were only two staff members at the front desk, and the guests who came to watch the movie were even more pitiful, almost counting them on one hand.

There are also tripods, wires, and various construction tools in the corner, and they are not only going to be redecorated, but they are about to be relocated and demolished.

But these problems naturally have nothing to do with Lin Xinyi.

He's just a customer, and there's no need to worry about the fate of an old movie theater.

In fact, the fewer people in this movie theater, the more relieved he became:

"There are fewer people, and the murderer and victim should not be so difficult to guess..."

Lin Xinyi looked at several guests and employees in the hall silently, but in his heart he was very impolite, making up the hideous scenes of them killing or being killed.

No way... Who got Conan here?

He didn't come here today to watch a movie.

It was only when he heard that Conan had another holiday and organized some "holiday activities", so he was extremely uneasy to skip the work of the Metropolitan Police Department and came to work as a nanny for a group of children.

If something really happened today, maybe I could have stopped it in advance.

No matter how bad it is, it can also launch an investigation as soon as the case is reported and gain an advantage in time.

If nothing happens today, then...

Then today is a date with a girlfriend.

Lin Xinyi looked down at the little Miss Gray Yuan beside herβ€”she was holding her hand and looking up at the poster of Gomera on the wall.

Although the helplessness in her eyes has revealed her almost non-existent expectations for this movie.

But looking at the slightly raised corners of her mouth, her interest didn't seem to be low.

Speaking of which, this is the first time they have watched a movie together.

"Let's find a way to investigate the possible 'hidden dangers' in this movie theater."

"If it's okay, let's concentrate on watching a movie with Shiho."

Lin Xinyi thought so in his heart, so he concentrated and carefully observed the few guests and staff present.

It's not an easy job.

Most of the time it's a matter of luck.

And just when he was about to come forward again, try to find some signs that might lead to a case through eavesdropping and small talk....

Suddenly there was a loud shouting in the hall:

"Hey... Hey, Boss Muramatsu! ”

"Since there aren't many guests, let's just stop putting it off."

"Shut down today and tear down this broken movie theater!"

A middle-aged man with a fierce face shouted very unceremoniously as soon as he entered the door.

With a cigarette in his mouth and a choking smoke, with that hideous smile and ugly face, he looks like a hateful villain.

And what he called "Boss Muramatsu" was an old man on crutches, and his identity was the owner of the movie theater Nature.

"Mr. Zhang Tian... cough cough cough..."

Seeing that the boss of Muramatsu, who was already 6 or 70 years old, coughed violently, he said to Mr. Zhang Tian, who was not good, in a difficult tone:

"I said before, yes, it will be demolished tomorrow."

"Today is the anniversary of our cinema, and hopefully we can make this last day a good one."

The old man Muramatsu looked a little pitiful in his whispered plea.

But that Mr. Zhang Tian just sneered:

"Hehe... There are only a few guests in total, what else is commemorating? ”

"It's so lonely, tsk... I knew I should have bought it for a little less. ”

"Enough!"

A tall staff member stood up.

He scolded the aggressive Mr. Zhang Tian with a look of disgust:

"Obviously, you arranged for the thugs to come over and smash the field, so there are so few guests, right?"

"You rogue businessman!"

"Hey, hey... Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Zhang Tian spread his hands arrogantly: "I said that those gangsters were arranged by me, but you showed evidence?" ”

"You!!" Several staff members present were so angry that their faces turned pale.

"Alright, alright... Don't talk about it. Boss Muramatsu came out a little lonely to play a round:

"Our old movie theater is gradually running out of guests..."

"I took the initiative to sell this movie theater, Mr. Zhang Tian made trouble or not, it's all the same."

Hearing this, Lin Xinyi also roughly figured out the relationship between the characters:

Mr. Zhang Tian is supposed to be a real estate businessman, and the owner of Muramatsu's movie theater is not doing well, so he intends to sell it.

In order to suppress the purchase price, Mr. Zhang Tian hired local ruffians to make trouble, and at the same time urged the owner of Muramatsu to sell the theater and agree to the demolition.

This episode...

Sounds familiar?

Lin Xinyi's expression when he looked at Mr. Tian suddenly became strange:

He remembered that the former director of the Rice Flower Art Museum, Ochiai, killed the owner of the real estate developer because he didn't want the museum to be acquired by a real estate developer.

There was also the last time Kamei producers wanted to disband the Gomera crew, but they were taken away by Gomera's holster actor Mr. Matsui.

With these two lessons from the past, let's take a look at what this Mr. Zhang Tian did...

Look at Conan next to him with an innocent face, who has obviously experienced so many times, but still hasn't noticed the problem.

Today's cases are easier to spot than any other case in the past:

"The 'victim' seems to have been identified..."

"As for the 'murderer', it is estimated that he is the same as the previous director of the Ochiai Pavilion and Mr. Matsui, who is an employee of the unit who does not want to dissolve the unit where he has worked for many years, but has no right to speak and decide."

Lin Xinyi could basically see clearly that the death omen on Mr. Zhang Tian's head was flashing.

He thought about it for a while, and didn't know how to prevent the possible tragedy in time, so he simply stood up with a serious face:

"Enough!"

"Please be restrained, Mr. Zhang Tian."

"Who are you? What a mouth! Mr. Zhang Tian was slightly stunned, and then looked over very unceremoniously.

"I'm doing it for your own good."

Lin Xinyi said in a mysterious tone:

"I advise you to leave this movie theater today, or you may encounter a bloody disaster."

"Huh?" The air at the scene suddenly became a little weird.

Mr. Zhang Tian was even more angry:

"Who are you cursing? Bastard! ”

"Want to intimidate me? Do you think Lao Tzu will be afraid of you? ”

"You don't have to be afraid of me."

Lin Xinyi's voice was still so calm:

"I'm just advising you to be careful, be careful, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Otherwise, if someone kills you, it's not me who suffers, it's you."

"You..." Hearing Lin Xinyi's calm and watery tone, Mr. Zhang Tian wanted to scold but couldn't.

Suddenly caught by a stranger and said such a strange thing, and the other party looked like he was not a charlatan who opened his mouth to ask for money....

This feeling is still quite weird.

"Phew! Bad luck! ”

Mr. Zhang Tian glared at Lin Xinyi viciously, and finally chose to walk away with a scolding.

Although he looked very angry and didn't listen much, Lin Xinyi's purpose had already been achieved:

He pretended to warn him like this, and the other party would become more or less sensitive and careful.

Most importantly, these words can deter the theater staff who are present β€” that is, potential murderers.

Unlike several murderers who were successfully stopped before, the murderer's motive for killing this time is very special:

The theater where I work was bought at a low price...

It's hard to call this a blood feud.

What's more, the owner of Muramatsu himself said that the movie theater was not well managed, and he took the initiative to find someone to sell it.

As for the fact that the purchase price was maliciously suppressed by Mr. Zhang Tian....

When the boss is not in a hurry, why are employees in a hurry?

Even if Mr. Zhang Tian doesn't come to make trouble, the purchase money from the sale will not be used to increase the wages of the workers!

Giving up everything for this purpose and killing people to take revenge is obviously a completely unnecessary and radical act.

The murderer chose to kill, most likely just on impulse and went to extremes.

Therefore, Lin Xinyi did not choose to wait for the rabbit and fish to enforce the law as before, risking the possibility of letting the murderer succeed and the victim to be killed, waiting for the murderer to commit the crime, and then taking action to stop it.

Instead, he stood up in advance and explained the stakes to the potential murderer.

Because the murderer's motive for killing in this case was not firm enough, if he was shocked by such an "unpredictable prophet", he might be frightened to calm down and give up his action forever.

As long as he can think rationally and figure it all out, he won't think about killing people anymore.

In this way, it may be possible to completely strangle a murderous tragedy in the cradle.

"I advise everyone to calm down."

Seeing Mr. Zhang Tian's ugly face and walking into the distance to smoke, Lin Xinyi turned around and said to the theater staff:

"No matter how bad your mood is, killing people doesn't make you feel easy."

"And it's a fact that movie theaters aren't doing well."

"The boss of Muramatsu has decided to sell the theater and stop the loss."

"Even if you kill Mr. Zhang Tian this time, Mr. Kameda and Mr. Honda will come out and buy the land of the movie theater after that."

"So, this kind of extreme means will not save your cherished theater at all, it will only ruin your own future."

His lengthy persuasion made the air even more eerie.

Several employees, you look at me, I look at you, and each of them sees the question mark of "do you want to call the psychiatric hospital" in the eyes of the other.

Boss Muramatsu was even more confused:

"Uh... This gentleman? ”

"What are you talking about... What killing? ”

"Everyone has discussed the sale of the movie theater, and we are waiting for the closure and demolition tomorrow, how can we kill Mr. Zhang Tian at such a time?"

Everyone was at a loss.

But in the crowd, the tall male employee who stood up and angrily scolded Boss Zhang Tian just now said with a pale face:

"I... I..."

"Huh?!" Everyone looked over in amazement: "Ancient bridge? You..."

I saw that this middle-aged employee, known as "Guqiao", was already shocked into a cold sweat.

This is what Lin Xinyi didn't expect.

He just wanted to make the stakes clear and let the murderer think about whether it was worth burying his future for something he couldn't stop at all.

Unexpectedly, this speech directly scared the murderer himself.

"I... I..."

Mr. Furuhashi was incoherent for a moment.

He looked at the unfathomable Lin Xinyi with respect and fear, and his expression was very worried.

And after a silent look at each other, he finally clenched his fists tightly and said with a difficult expression:

"I don't want this movie theater to be bought."

"And Masaji Zhangtian... I can't tolerate this bastard who hires someone to come to the cinema to cause trouble and drive the guests away from the screen! ”

"So, I'm really planning to assassinate him today, the last day of this theater's business."

In Lin Shinichi's meaningful gaze, Mr. Furuhashi humbly admitted everything.

He only felt that he had met some worldly master, an immortal who had come to stop him from committing something stupid:

"I'm sorry... I figured it out. ”

"Thank you, Master, for stopping me from doing such a stupid thing!"

"This?!" Everyone present was extremely surprised.

They didn't expect that this crazy young man really had the ability to see the future!

He prevented a homicide in advance!

Before the case happened, the murderer was made to cry bitterly by him, and he was completely enlightened, and he was determined to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

"Who the hell is this young man..."

"Why do you feel familiar?"

With awe, everyone began to talk about it:

"Oh... I think I've seen him on TV before! ”

"Really? What is the show? ”

"Forgot... But I remember that it was said on TV: "

"He seems to be a law... The mage is coming? ”

"What? He's an archmage who has been on TV, so young? ”

Boss Muramatsu, Mr. Furuta, and everyone looked at Lin Xinyi's expressions full of reverence:

"Mage, you, you..."

Seeing this meaning, it seems that they want to make a pilgrimage to the door in the future:

"What temple are you practicing in?"

The corners of Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched, and he replied:

"Metropolitan Police Department."
