Chapter 458: Xue Sui's Unwillingness(1/2)
"What did you say? You actually cursed us to death?"
The couple was furious and looked like they wanted to ask Chen Jun for advice. The shop owner Jin Gu had no choice but to come out and act as peacemaker, "Everyone calm down, we are all here for a trip."
"Tonight I will solemnly introduce the project activities of our hotel and the prizes that can be obtained."
The shop owner clapped his hands, and the maid took out a very old-looking book from behind.
"This is the first edition of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle's famous work - A Study in Scarlet!"
"Wow~"
The Sherlock Holmes fans present were all shocked, including Conan, a die-hard fan.
Looking at that book is like a miser looking at a golden mountain or a lustful person looking at a stunning beauty.
Xuesui also moved slightly, and Chen Jun poked her arm, "You want this book too?"
"Of course." Xuesui nodded, "You are a fan of Agatha Christie, but you are not allowed to be a fan of Conan Doyle?"
"Shall I help you?" Chen Jun smiled, as if he had a chance to win.
Xue Sui turned her head away, "It doesn't make any sense for me, a Sherlock Holmes fan, to let you, a Polo fan, win you back. I want to get it myself."
"If a case happens this time and I take action, I would also like to become addicted to detectives."
The store owner Jin Gu had already spoken at this time, "If you want to get this big reward, you must complete the super difficult reasoning question and answer."
"This extremely difficult reasoning question and answer is just to test how much you admire Mr. Holmes."
The shop owner Kanaya spoke boldly and asked the maid to hand out the questionnaire, "Now the maid is handing out the Sherlock Holmes 1000 Questions. The payment deadline is before tomorrow's dinner, and only those with a total score of 990 or above can participate in the reasoning questions and answers after the dinner."
Mouri Kogoro asked, "What will happen if I don't get more than 990 points?"
"I'm sorry about that!"
The owner of the hotel, Kanaya, immediately changed his expression of indifference, "Except for Mr. Mori and Mr. Ito, if the rest of the people who choose to participate in the game cannot get more than 990 points, please leave my hotel."
The store owner was unusual and surprised many people.
And his attitude was so strong that many people were silent, including the couple just now. Even if they were not convinced, they could only hold it in.
"For the sake of caution, all mobile phones and reference books you carry must be handed over to the maid. I don't want anyone among you to cheat."
Mouri Kogoro said: "Is it okay if I don't participate in this super quiz?"
"Of course you can, Mr. Mori." The shop owner smiled slightly and added, "Even if you don't hand over your mobile phone, the hotel still has jammers and monitors and will monitor your status at all times."
"Remember, anyone who chooses to cheat will be awarded zero points."
"Boss, boss, can I participate?" Conan raised his hand and looked very interested.
"sure."
Everyone got the super questionnaire from the maid. Chen Jun did not want to participate in a sorority that was unfriendly to him, an Agatha fan.
He observed everyone carefully.
I saw that the store owner made many unreasonable demands, and even though they were equipped with devices that invaded privacy, many people showed little dissatisfaction on their faces.
All Sherlock Holmes fans can accept antique-level first edition books.
From this, he also learned the identity of the male and female couple. The boy is called Yan Ren, currently 22 years old, and is the president of the Reasoning Research Society of a university. The girl, Oki Reiko, is currently 21 years old and is a member of the Reasoning Research Society.
night.
Xuesui sat at the desk with great interest, writing the questionnaire questions, frowning from time to time, thinking hard.
"You still want to do it?"
"yes."
"The questions in this test paper are really interesting. It tests a lot of side questions. I'm thinking that if I fail, wouldn't I be very sorry for the store owner's kindness?"
"Do you really want that copy of A Study in Scarlet?"
"Of course, is this still false?"
"There are many ways to get it."
"Don't use crooked methods!" Xuesui concentrated on answering the questions, "I have to work hard to get the book on my own."
Chen Jun was speechless, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.
He learned from the system that he had perfectly completed the detection of 3 cases and was given an additional 3 months.
If that's the case, I can still stay here for quite a while.
The next morning.
The maid prepared a sumptuous breakfast early.
Everyone had a great time eating and being treated like guests.
Some fans who stayed up late last night to write the test questions couldn't help but solve the mystery and asked the maid, "Why didn't you see the innkeeper? Where did he go?"
"Hurry up and ask him to come out and change the test questions."
The maid hesitated, "My master wants me to entertain you, and he won't come out until after dinner."
After a whole day, the clock went from 12pm to 3:30am...
The crowd who were sitting at the dining table, waiting for the shop owner Jin Gu to come over to correct the test questions, became increasingly anxious.
Because the shop owner has not been seen for a long time.
"Damn it, I can't stand it. I want to go back to my room and sleep."
"It took me a whole day to write the test questions, but no one has seen them at all. The reception was so poor," a man said angrily.
"It seems that the rumors are true. This is a scam. Making the 1,000 test questions so difficult is not a good assessment at all. It is clearly a group of us gathered together to deliberately show off his collection. And it's beautiful.
It's called a festival for Sherlock Holmes fans, it's a joke." said the female fortune teller.
While everyone was disappointed.
Suddenly, a black car slowly drove out of the garage outside the hotel.
"The person in the car is the shop owner, and he is driving."
Conan's voice screamed, immediately leaving everyone behind.
The boy next to me who is the head of the reasoning research society, Hushi Yanshi, said proudly: "I just said, it must be the shop owner who is conducting a reasoning assessment on us."
"How can a real test question be just a piece of paper?"
"Look, the real reasoning and answering questions have now begun."
All the Sherlock Holmes fans looked over with bright eyes, a hint of excitement on their tired faces.
Is this a real Sherlock Holmes question and answer?
They watched the car slowly drive out attentively.
The direction we were heading towards was a cliff.
"Yeah, real reasoning is starting to die."
Chen Jun looked ahead, "Please answer the mystery of the shop owner's death!"
After saying this, he rushed out quickly. Everyone was immediately frightened when they heard this.
Why does the car driving toward the cliff show no signs of changing its course and is getting faster and faster?
Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong, and their expressions changed dramatically.
Conan had already run out, following closely behind Chen Jun, while Xiaolan, Yukiho, Mouri Kogoro and others also followed.
Mouri Kogoro yelled: "Boss Kanaya, stop quickly, there is a cliff on the other side, a cliff!"
The figure inside turned a deaf ear and didn't even look back.
The speed of the car is getting faster and faster, reaching nearly 40 yards.
"call!"
A beautiful parabola passed through the sky.
The entire car flew into the sky like a flying swallow, and then was affected by gravity and landed heavily!
————
The boss of Jingu was alive and kicking the day before, but now he is dead.
The death was so bizarre and horrifying that it frightened some Sherlock Holmes fans.
There is the sea at the bottom of the cliff, and there are no branches in the middle. No matter whether the people in the car survive or not, they will definitely die if they fall.
Mouri Kogoro announced: "Store Manager Kanaya, he and his car fell into the sea."
"It was probably suicide. I think he must not have wanted you to get the Sherlock Holmes collection, so he took the book with him."
After finishing speaking, Mouri Kogoro burst out laughing, laughing at his 'superb' and flawless reasoning.
Conan: "...."
