I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 299
At that moment, Li Yan was shocked and thought, maybe under his inadvertent guidance, he had guided this "pet girl" who couldn't even put on her own clothes at first, into a blockbuster "Lion" of England. ?
However, Mashiro's meaning could not be clearer. He understood the meaning in Shiina Mashiro's eyes, and immediately, he took several photos of the room with the flash on.
"Wait a minute, what are you students going to do..." The manager became worried and asked hurriedly.
"Now, we try our best to use photos to capture the location of the suspicious ears." Mashiro Shiina looked at the manager and explained.
"What's so good about this? Isn't it just an ordinary theft case? The thief destroyed the monitor outside our store and also broke the window of the president's office room. As a result, the room was turned into a mess and left everywhere. They are all made of glass. Moreover, they used tools to pry open the display cabinet and stole the three cultural relics inside. As you can see, the ground is covered with mud and rainwater left by that guy. "
With a burst of anger, the manager told Shiina Mashiro and others about the problems at the scene and said.
Li Yan felt something was wrong and asked curiously: "Since you are sure that someone from outside invaded this room, why are you still searching randomly in the entire hotel?"
"This is because the anti-theft equipment outside this hotel and theater is very complete. The boss brings many valuables here to store, and occasionally holds antique exhibitions among friends. This is why he spent money on it. We had a good external anti-theft device, but it was still a bit weird that a thief broke in, so we judged whether it was done by an insider and started a large-scale search inside the hotel."
The manager had already thought that someone would ask this question, so he explained smoothly.
Three cultural relics, Li Yan noticed this information. After all, when he was shopping, he was clearly prohibited from entering this area, so he had no idea what antiques these were. He asked again: "Since you said you lost three pieces Cultural relics, so what do the three cultural relics look like? You have to explain them to us first, right?"
"That's right, I'm sorry, this is our negligence... What were stolen were the three most precious items, the quill pen used by Emperor Charles that the boss bought from an auction in France, and the ancient British Silver coins, and one piece of gold Egyptian jewelry, the combined price can reach tens of millions of yen.”
The manager looked back at the cabinet and said.
Tens of millions of yen, I have to say that this amount is still quite high, which makes many people feel a little complicated.
"Well... I want to ask, if there are muddy footprints inside the house, it proves that it was invaded from outside the window. Why was the glass broken and none of us heard the sound of the glass breaking?"
Nanami Aoyama hid a little behind the crowd, but she looked at the glass in the house and asked curiously.
"In this case, the sound of the Shinkansen is probably too noisy. The thief used the sound of the Shinkansen to cover up the sound of breaking glass, because when security guards patrolled before, they did not find the broken glass, but then there was The Shinkansen has passed through it several times, and we guessed that we probably borrowed this method." The manager pointed to the viaduct immersed in darkness outside the window and explained.
"..."
Shiina Mashiro's eyes quietly observed this room and asked, "Why don't you just break the display cabinet?"
"..."
Everyone was stunned and looked at the blond girl again.
After Li Yan heard this, he also looked at the badly damaged display cabinet. Suddenly he understood what Zhenbai meant. He looked at the manager and asked: "That's right, Mr. Manager, this is A very strange question, why was the cabinet pried into this state instead of directly smashing the display cabinet? If it was a burglary, the time of committing the crime should be shortened quickly. Obviously, quills, silver coins, and jewelry will not be broken due to vibration. , even if there are other fragile items, in order to reduce time, losing some of them is not a worry, but the thief chose the most time-consuming way to open the cabinet, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
"This, this...ahem, we don't know why the thief did that."
Suddenly, the manager was at a loss for words when he was asked this question, and the other officers around him seemed to be unable to answer, so they could only deal with it perfunctorily.
Obviously, this "thief" knew that he had used the noise of the Shinkansen line to cover up the sound of breaking glass, but he was very cautious and worried about damaging other fragile cultural relics in the cabinet. How could he be so considerate? Only the owner of the antique would do this.
"Now, there's another one, I don't quite understand..."
Shiina Mashiro stretched out her hand, pointed at the heavy curtains not far away, and said: "If there are precious items in the room, the curtains should be drawn up, but that was not done."
"Um... Mitsui, when you locked the door, did you pull it up?" the manager asked quickly.
"Yes, some of us have closed the curtains properly..."
For a moment, the employee next to him still instinctively told the truth.
However, it makes the situation more complicated.
If the curtains are drawn, the room should not be full of glass fragments, but if they are not drawn, it is even more unreasonable. If a thief breaks the glass and opens the curtains, it will be easily discovered by people passing by, which is also unreasonable. However, the curtains were very dry and showed no trace of being touched by wet hands.
Her eyes were fixed on the group of shop assistants again, and she said: "Whether you do it or not, it's very strange. In a sense, this is a secret room, with patrols in the corridor... There are curtains after the glass is broken, but it's completely Spreading it all over the place, here, is unreasonable.”
After just reading it briefly, there are so many irrationalities. The seemingly simple burglary incident is full of loopholes in the eyes of this painter girl.
In the dim corridor, this beautiful girl who looked like white stood in the night wind. Her words were concise and concise, but for a moment, no secret could escape this talented English girl.
※※※
Early morning, 6:30. The drizzle has just stopped, and the leaves are dripping with clear water drops, and the town surrounded by the forest is covered with white mist.
Last night's theft incident, faced with various loopholes proposed by Shiina Mashiro, the theater unilaterally claimed that it was a small misunderstanding and was forced to interrupt.
On the other hand, the teacher of Suiming Art High School who was completely irritated also immediately contacted the school. It seems that because of such a premeditated "theft farce", the Sumying Art High School and this drama theater were involved. The collaboration broke down completely.
As for the reason for the sudden search, according to Mashiro Shiina, it was probably to fully play out the aftermath of the theft. After all, being too calm would look too unnatural, and the security equipment responsible for the peripheral third party was very well done. If it was damaged, It soon attracted the attention of the security company and the police, and they could only spread the suspicion to the residents to cover up the public.
"So, the purpose is probably to defraud the bailiff, and use students who are not capable of self-protection as a cover to distract attention. But if it is discovered by a more experienced police officer, the crime of defrauding the bailiff will probably be inescapable."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the closed hotel and said.
"Yeah." Shiina Mashiro nodded and responded.
"So, Shiina... no, Miss Charlotte Holmes, after listening to your wonderful reasoning scene last night, I completely understand that you have worked hard to study detective novels during this period. Maybe if you work harder, you will really be able to Become the legendary, incredible detective Sherlock Holmes."
Li Yan smiled and praised.
Shiina Mashiro looked sideways at him, her expression seemed a little different, and then she retorted in a low voice: "I am just Watson, Sherlock Holmes, and I have always been the only one."
She turned around, looked at the Japanese-style building, stood in the mist, and said calmly: "I am your assistant, and I am only responsible for helping you deal with the bad guys that I can deal with."
However, on the other side, the situation on Qingshan Nanami's side also began to change.
A group of companions who were half-hearted at first, after encountering such a dangerous and troublesome thing this time, began to launch the drama team that Nanami had formed. No matter how Nanami persuaded her, those indifferent faces faced Nanami without saying anything. If there is any extra, we go to the parking lot together and make clear our attitude of quitting.
"...Sure enough, a team that is in disarray will eventually disperse due to an opportunity."
Li Yan looked at Qingshan Qihai, who was standing alone in the rainy season street, watching the back of a group of friends after they left, and secretly became worried about her.
Nanami Aoyama didn't catch up, as if she could see that she couldn't reunite the team. She raised her head and looked at the gray sky, falling into a brief loss.
At that moment, the taste of failure came again.
"..."
Suddenly, the morning breeze blew the leaves on the roadside and swayed slightly. Qingshan Nanami noticed the concerned eyes behind her. She was slightly stunned, then turned around and looked at them, her face was slightly surprised, and then she smiled. Restore on the face.
"Sorry, I thought you were already in the car."
Aoyama Nanami said to them, hurried over and said with a smile.
"So, no one in your team plans to continue cooperating?"
Li Yan asked, looking at Qingshan Qihai who was slightly wet with water mist.
"...Hehe, it's a bit embarrassing. However, there is nothing we can do about it." Qingshan Nanhai said to Li Yan.
With a relaxed expression, she said: "Sure enough, I still can't give up my hard work these days. I have thought a lot during this period. I barely let everyone work together. I always feel that the efficiency is very low. They have never been able to do it." I regard this program as an abandoned one, but it contains not only the efforts of Mashiro and I, but also the contributions and encouragement of Mitaka seniors and seniors. I still plan to continue performing!"
