Yuan Tai and Bu Mei were very happy with the movie tickets." Hey! Let's go to the movies tomorrow!”
"Alright, let's call Conan along.”Ayumi immediately thought of Conan, which made Genta and Kazuhiko a little jealous. Xiao Ai looked helpless. Children nowadays matured too early.
However, from an adult's point of view, Xiao 'ai might be the most mature one…
Hearing their words, Ye Ling couldn't help but feel depressed. She asked in confusion,""Aren't you going to school tomorrow?"
Unexpectedly, the three brats raised their heads and replied with a smile,"We have a holiday tomorrow too!"
Ye Ling was completely speechless. Was there something wrong with this Emperor Pill School? Why are you on holiday every day?
"Then aren't you going to do your homework?" he asked after some thought.”
"We don't have homework." the children replied.
Ye Ling was speechless. It seemed that she would have to ask the class teacher to give more homework to the primary school students in the future.
Xiao Ai wanted to laugh when she saw that Ye Ling was rendered speechless by the children. Ever since she became familiar with Ye Ling, she realized that Ye Ling was not scary at all. In fact, she was very easy to talk to.
"Did you discover something just now?”Xiao Ai saw the threatening letter in his hand and asked curiously,"
Ye Ling did not answer. Instead, she handed one of the letters to Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai took the letter and looked at it. At first, she didn't find anything wrong with it, but after a closer look, she realized that the handwriting on the letter was a little blurry. The blurriness did not refer to the color, but the edges of the words seemed to have been rubbed by something when the ink was still wet.
"This is…left-handed?" Xiao Ai immediately guessed the answer.
Ye Ling nodded and replied," That's right. When a left-handed person writes, the side of his palm will touch the words that have already been written, leaving a scratch from left to right.”The person who wrote the threatening letter was left-handed, which was an extremely important clue.
(In Japan, the direction of writing a letter depends on personal preference. There is no rule that it has to be from right to left.)
……
Since the cinema owner had given them movie tickets, Ye Ling brought the children to the cinema the next day. The cinema was very small, and the sign at the door said 'Golden Cinema'. It was run by the client, Muramatsu Akio.
"Eh? Such a small cinema?" The children couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. They had thought that it would be a big cinema.
However, Xiao Ai felt that this was only natural. She said indifferently,"The film industry is booming now, and most cinemas can make money. If it weren't for the fact that the cinema is too small, it wouldn't have fallen to the point of being transferred.”
Sure enough, Ayumi had called Conan over. He was with the children at the moment.
Normally, he wouldn't be interested in watching a monster movie with a kid. However, after he heard the whole story, he realized that Ye Ling was going to the theater to investigate the threatening letter, so he immediately changed his mind and followed her.
Ye Ling wanted to investigate the movie theater, but Conan wanted to investigate Ye Ling as a person...
"I thought that the great detective would not be interested in the 'Big Monster Gomera.' I didn't expect you to still come.”As they entered the cinema lobby, Xiao Ai glanced at Conan.
Conan walked at the back of the crowd and whispered to Xiao Ai," Be careful of Ye Ling.”
Xiao Ai nodded and did not refute. Conan was still wary of Ye Ling, and Xiao Ai could not prove that Ye Ling was not a dangerous person. Although she believed that Ye Ling was not a bad person, it was purely a feeling. She had no evidence...
……
After entering the cinema, Ye Ling saw the fat auntie selling the tickets. As Mr. Muramatsu had introduced the layout of the cinema to the staff when he came to entrust them yesterday, Ye Ling knew that the auntie's surname was Tsuchiya. She was also responsible for checking the tickets while selling them.
"You can watch three movies today with your movie tickets. Remember to keep your ticket stubs.”The lady tore a part of the movie ticket and returned the ticket to Ye Ling.
"Got it." The children agreed in unison.
Ye Ling took the ticket stubs and distributed them to the children. Then, he asked the lady tentatively,""By the way, I heard that this cinema is about to be demolished. Is that true?”
On one hand, he was probing, and on the other hand, it was because Mr. Muramatsu did not explain many things clearly yesterday.
Upon hearing this, the auntie revealed a helpless expression, as if her chatterbox had been opened. She said,"Yes, our cinema was doing well, but someone took a fancy to this piece of land, so the boss had no choice but to sell the cinema. Speaking of which, this theater has decades of history. It's a childhood memory for many people…"
"Oh?" Ye Ling asked," Why must the boss sell this piece of land when others are interested?"”
The children were also curious, but they heard the earthen auntie sigh."I have no choice but to sell it. The person who wants this piece of land is the owner of the real estate agency, Zhang Tian Masaji. He secretly has dealings with the violent group, and everyone is afraid of him.”
According to Aunty Tsuchiya, Zhang Tian Masaji had set his eyes on this piece of land and often sent people to the cinema to fight, scaring the customers so much that they no longer dared to come. Once the business went cold, the boss had no choice but to resell it under continuous losses. Moreover, there was no point in calling the police because those hooligans would run away after the fight. No one could prove that they were sent by Zhang Tian Masaji.
"How can this be?" Ayumi couldn't help but sympathize with Mr. Muramatsu.
"This is too much. He actually used such a despicable method!”Genta and Kazuhiko also gritted their teeth in hatred.
The more Ye Ling listened, the more familiar it felt. If she remembered correctly, this cinema seemed to have murder cases?
……
After chatting with the auntie for a while, everyone bid farewell to her and entered the theater because the movie was about to start. The hall was extremely messy, and there were ladder ropes and other construction materials around. It seemed that the cinema was about to be demolished.
Seeing the ladder and rope, Ye Ling finally remembered the whole story.
In this case, a shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the movie. After the lights were turned on, it was found that the real estate agent, Zhang Tian Masaji, was hung in front of the screening window. And the murderer who killed Hoda Masaji was the projectionist in the theater…
" Since the cinema owner is my client, I can't just stand by and watch..." Ye Ling thought to herself.
The children looked around and saw that there was only one audience in the huge theater. The business was simply too cold.
It was a bespectacled young man who looked like a university student. He was currently texting his friends on his phone. Seeing someone enter, the young man turned around and took a look before continuing to do his own things.
Ye Ling subconsciously looked at him and was a little surprised because this young man was typing with his left hand.
Left-handed? It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?
"Wait, I remember that there was indeed a young audience member in the original novel who loved to watch movies here since he was young and had a deep relationship with this cinema. " Could it be..." With doubt, Ye Ling released her Divine Telekinesis and examined the young man.
Soon, Ye Ling found a letter hidden in the young man's pocket. The content was exactly the same as the threatening letter that Mr. Muramatsu had received before. So it wasn't the employees who stopped the theater from transferring, but the movie fans who loved the theater deeply…
