After carefully observing the warehouse, Artolis seemed to have discovered something.
Artolis: "Mayor, I think this vent can accommodate a child. Could it be that a child committed the crime?"
Mayor: That’s not right. You can indeed go in through the vents, but you see the vents are so high. Even if the child goes in, he may not be able to get out easily, let alone complete the bag s
Artolis glanced at the vent. The mayor was indeed right. The location of the vent was indeed very high, and at the same time, it was very troublesome to complete the package swap, and the most important thing was the magic crystal.
The weight is not light. With the strength of a child, after all, such a big box cannot be carried so easily.
Artolis: What if the prisoner was in the warehouse from the beginning?
Mayor: Every time we close the door, we have thoroughly checked it. It absolutely does not exist. The most critical question is how the prisoner can freely enter and exit this warehouse and calmly switch away the magic crystal.
Air vent? Bag drop? Child? Magic crystal? Stone? Everything seemed to be connected together. Lin Xiao, who had been thinking about it all the time, seemed to have thought of something after listening to their words.
"I think I have touched the truth. The following is my reasoning, but the possibility is extremely high." Lin Xiao said lightly.
Lin Xiao paused for a moment, collected himself, and continued: "First of all, the secret room is very simple to create, because the key is divided into four parts that can be combined to open the warehouse.
That is to say, it is impossible for a prisoner to open the warehouse door and enter, and the only remaining way inside the warehouse is through a vent that can only allow a child to get in. However, because the vent is located at a relatively high position, even if the child can get in,
, it is also very difficult to take away so many magic crystals in a box and complete the package transfer perfectly. In this way, it can be determined that this is a trick about making people think it is a secret room, because looking at it now, the prisoner cannot be here.
The secret room can complete the package swap and free entry and exit at the same time, but if you think about it the other way around, what if you don’t need to complete the package swap, but pretend to have already dropped the package and then commit the crime? "
"What do you mean you don't need to complete the package swap?" the mayor asked doubtfully.
"It's very simple. The wooden sign probably appeared at the scene to achieve this disguise effect. The more obvious the better... It's like a prank or a trap, rather than an arrogant declaration of crime.
.”
"Well, let's put the wooden sign in this trap first. If an important thing is announced to have been stolen, would a normal person rush over to check it immediately? And this check means taking the bait and caring.
Then there was chaos. The mayor saw that the box was full of stones, so he and three other people went to call the townspeople, but I don’t know if he went through the box thoroughly? Probably not?"
The mayor pondered for a moment.
Now Lin Xiao was even more confident. "So if only part of the magic crystal was taken out and hidden on himself, and then covered with a stone, would it create the illusion of a package swap? (ps: This is similar to
The top and bottom bills in a stack of banknotes are real, and the middle one is fake.) When the four of you, the mayor, encountered such a big event, you all ran to inform the people in the town. In that kind of situation
In such a dire situation, the door is definitely not closed anymore.”
"If the door was not closed, the prisoners in the warehouse would immediately take advantage of this time to carry out the actual package s This also became a trick, making the mayor mistakenly believe that it was a so-called secret room theft. Now it seems that the vent is the only
As for the way to get in, the prisoner is most likely a child. The specific method should be for the child to crawl in through the vent first, then open the box, take out part of the magic crystal, then cover it with the stone he brought, and finally put the deliberately
The wooden sign that attracted attention immediately hid in the warehouse. This warehouse is so big, hiding in the warehouse must be no problem.
When you, the mayor, take the bait and see the wooden sign that declares the crime left behind and the magic crystal that has been turned into a stone, you will not look carefully at it in your anxiety. While you go to inform other people, they can take it easy.
The entire magic crystal was perfectly packaged."
"Is there more than one prisoner?!" Artolis on the side heard Lin Xiao mention them, not him asking.
"That's right. It will take time to transport so many magic crystals by one person. As for who these children are, I think there are not many children in the town, so it should be easy to find them."
The mayor fell into silence, then his face changed, and he said with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect that something like this would happen."
"Mayor, who is this prisoner?" Artolis asked.
"It should be my son. Our Rock Town is the place where magic dolls are produced. Of course, some defective products will appear during the production process. These defective products affect the appearance and have no commercial value to anyone, so they are all discarded.
They were thrown into the disposal site in Houshan. But I didn’t expect that my son, who went to Houshan a year ago, really liked those discarded dolls. He would go to Houshan every day to mix with these failed dolls.
Not long ago, he asked me for magic crystals, probably for the energy of those useless dolls. Of course I would not agree. He had a fight with me over this matter, and then he refused to come back and built a shed in the back mountain.
He lives there, but I never imagined that he would do such a thing..."
"I see, why don't we go to the back mountain to see your son together, then the truth will be revealed." Lin Xiao.
A discarded doll disposal site in the back mountain. Two boys, two girls and a bunch of dolls were having a great time playing.
"Hey.**, come here quickly. Don't wander around. This time you will be a warrior for justice."
A teenager shouted to a doll in military uniform in the distance. The doll walked in mechanical steps, and then said with an electronic voice: "I'm sorry, ** is a bit stupid."
The rest of the dolls in various forms gathered around, and then they seemed to start a role-play of a hero fighting the devil, playing with the boys and girls.
The only shortcoming is that they all have some flaws on their bodies, missing arms, legs and so on, so it is obvious that they are defective products. Of course, this is only the conclusion of adults, and the innocence of children has never thought of it this way.
And a group of three people came here and just saw this beautiful scene.
"Although these magical dolls seem to have flaws, they seem to be more intelligent than the ones in the town." Lin Xiao said.
"Actually, some of these dolls are improved and more intelligent dolls developed by everyone in the town, but they all failed. In the end, the cause of this incident is still because of us." The mayor said.
"Mayor Sal, I think you should seriously consider reprocessing these discarded dolls." Artolis said bluntly.
"Well, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I will convene a meeting with the townspeople to discuss how to arrange these dolls, and of course this incident." The mayor looked at his son with kind eyes, maybe he already had it in his heart.
He planned to apologize to everyone in the town on behalf of his son.
At this time, Lin Xiao also received a prompt from the system. He completed the touch-type side mission "Crisis in Rock Town" and gained 4o favorability from the citizens of Rock Town.
My favorability level is already 100 after completing these two tasks. Unfortunately, this is not about picking up girls. It’s really melancholy.
But no matter what, the result is good, and the trouble is solved, and I can have a good sleep.
