Back in the room, Ye Ling lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, deep in thought.
He wasn't upset that Heiji and Conan were investigating him, but he was thinking about the murder that had happened at the Senyuan Mansion.
"Why is there no error window?”Ye Ling was deeply puzzled.
Ye Ling had speculated that a wrong case would trigger a wrong pop-up window. This speculation was consistent with the facts. It was the same for the cases of magic fans and hair salons. They wanted to kill people they shouldn't have killed, so the pop-up window appeared.
But tonight, Yuriko Morino's death overturned Ye Ling's previous conclusion.
A person who shouldn't have been killed was killed, and the error window didn't appear…
Ye Ling recalled all the cases and suddenly realized a certain detail. The cases where the pop-up window appeared were all under the circumstances where he was not involved. And the incidents that he had already participated in did not have a single error notification.
"Could it be that all cases actually have hints?”Ye Ling frowned slightly and whispered to herself,""There are some cases that don't show any hints because I'm already connected to the case, so there's no need for any hints?”
Although it was just a guess, Ye Ling felt that this was more reasonable than the previous conclusion.
……
In the blink of an eye, the night passed. Today was supposed to be the wedding of Morien Kikuto and Kaede Kataniri-san. However, Morien Kikuto had been arrested, and Chairman Kataniri-san had already come to break off the engagement, so the wedding was canceled before it even started.
Hiraji had come to attend the wedding banquet, but the Morino family was not getting married. So, he said goodbye to Ye Ling early in the morning and left the villa with Yuanshan and Ye to return to Osaka.
Heiji and Conan had just left in the morning. Ye Ling had not had much peace for long when another group of people came to the villa in the afternoon. It was the three little kids from the teenage detective team. Xiao Ai was with them.
"Brother Ye Ling! We're here to learn detective knowledge from you!”Genta said with a smile. This time, he did not let it slip and revealed his true purpose of coming to freeload.
"It's you guys. It's not the weekend today. Why aren't you in school?”Ye Ling asked in confusion.
Buujin Mitsuhiko smiled and replied in unison,""School is on holiday today!"
Ye Ling was speechless. Another holiday? What the hell was Imperial Pill Primary School doing? Why are you on holiday every day?
"Sorry, your inventory seems to be in trouble.”Xiao Ai raised her head and joked with Ye Ling. Ever since the incident at the blue castle, Xiao Ai and Ye Ling's relationship had become much closer. They could now joke around occasionally.
After entering the villa, the children sat on the sofa and discussed while eating snacks.
"Sure enough, Big Brother Ye Ling is much more generous than Dr. Li.”
"Yeah, even the doctor hid his snacks, but Brother Ye Ling let us eat.”
" No, actually, the doctor hid the snacks mainly because of the ash..." Bu Meiyuan and the other two whispered to each other as they quietly looked at Xiao Ai. It was obvious that the topic they were talking about was related to Xiao Ai.
Genta couldn't help but mourn for the doctor." The doctor is so pitiful. He's clearly an adult, but he's being controlled by a child.”
" Hui Yuan is doing this for the doctor's sake. The doctor belongs to the 'three highs', so it's very dangerous to eat indiscriminately…"
……
Time passed quickly. The children ate, drank, and listened to Ye Ling talk about detective knowledge (only Mitsuhiko was listening). In the blink of an eye, it was time to go home. Just as the children were about to leave, someone suddenly came to visit.
"Is this Detective Ye Ling?" A white-bearded old man stood at the entrance of the villa with a walking stick in his hand.
"I am Ye Ling. May I know who you are?”The old man was old enough to be respected by Ye Lingxiao.
"My name is Akio Muramatsu. I want to entrust you with an investigation."”When the children behind Ye Ling heard this, their eyes lit up like little light bulbs. It turned out that the client was here! Another case to look at!
Ye Ling saw the old man swaying and was afraid that he would fall. She quickly supported him and invited him into the room to sit down. The children who were about to leave also stayed behind curiously. It was obvious that they did not intend to leave.
Ye Ling poured a cup of tea for Mr. Muramatsu and asked,""Old sir, what do you want me to investigate?”
The old man took a sip of tea and put down his teacup."I'm the owner of a cinema. Because the cinema is not doing well and is about to close down, I'm going to sell it to a real estate agent called Zhang Tian Zheng Ji. But recently, someone sent me threatening letters every day, warning me not to sell the cinema to Zhang Tian.”
"May I ask how the other party handed you the threatening letter?”The one who asked was not Ye Ling, but Guang Yan.
Muramatsu was stunned. He looked at Mitsuhiko and asked Ye Ling,""These children are…"
"They are my assistants. The question he asked just now was also what I wanted to ask.”Ye Ling smiled. Sure enough, Mitsuhiko was the one who looked like a detective the most in the detective squad, except for the two fake children, Conan and Xiao Ai.
"The other party put the threatening letter directly in my desk drawer," Muramatsu replied.”
"Office desk? It seemed that the person who wrote the threatening letter was a staff member of the cinema.”"How many employees are there in your cinema?" Ye Ling asked.”
Mr. Muramatsu introduced without thinking,""Because it's a small private theater, there are only three employees other than me. They were the projectionist, Furuhashi Minoru, the convenience store's Yuriko Tomori, and the ticket seller, Ms. Tsuchiya.”
Muramatsu took out a few letters and placed them on the coffee table. "The movie theater will officially sign the transfer contract the day after tomorrow, but these threatening letters make me very uneasy. I'm afraid that something will happen." So, Detective Ye Ling, I hope you can find the criminal who wrote the threatening letter before the day after tomorrow.”
Ye Ling did not answer immediately. Instead, she picked up the threatening letter and opened it. He was surprised to find that the letters were handwritten. The children also felt strange. Genta said,""Why is it written with a pen?"
"Yeah, aren't those threatening letters on TV printed directly?”
"That's right. The threatening letters on TV are all made up of words cut out from newspapers.”
"Maybe the criminal isn't afraid of his handwriting being leaked," Xiao 'ai said nonchalantly.”
Hearing this, Mr. Muramatsu added,""Speaking of handwriting, I secretly compared the handwriting of those employees and found that none of them matched. It was precisely because of this that I could only seek the help of a detective.”
"Why didn't you call the police?" Xiao Ai asked in confusion.
"I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Besides, the other party is probably my employee…"
Ye Ling looked at the threatening letters on the table and carefully observed them. The contents of these letters were basically the same-Don't sell the cinema to Zhang Tian Masaji, or you will regret it!
The handwriting of the letters was very similar, and it could basically be concluded that they were written by the same person.
"Hmm?" Ye Ling looked at all the letters and suddenly stopped at one of them.
"What's wrong?" Muramatsu asked curiously.
"It's nothing." Ye Ling shook his head and said to Muramatsu,""I'll accept this commission."
After the commission was accepted by Ye Ling, Muramatsu bid farewell and left. Ye Ling wanted to send him back but was rejected. They had no choice but to watch the old man leave. Before he left, Mr. Muramatsu gave the children a few movie tickets.
