Chapter 467 Reasoning Notes 10: Mermaid Tears (9)
Right now, only Mi Kaka and Xiao Linlin were left with bewildered faces, "What is this and that! Will you die if you tell the answer?" Xiao Linlin and Mi Kaka could only worry.They looked at each other and hurried to the stairwell.

Since Qi Mu and Lin Shan ran to the stairwell and solved the puzzle, it means that there are clues to solve the case in the stairwell.

However, they went to the stairwell and looked around, but they didn't find anything special.So they ran up and down a few times, panting with exhaustion, but still did not find any clues.

This job is really tiring.Mikaka leaned on the railing, his feet were numb, and his T-shirt was wet with sweat.He couldn't walk anymore, so he simply sat down on the steps, gasping for breath: "Xiao Linlin, have you deduced it?"

Xiao Linlin was more tired than him, and was still holding a notebook.Beads of sweat covered her pink face. She took out two bottles of mineral water from her backpack, handed one to Mikaka, and took a sip herself before saying, "I don't have an answer either."

While drinking the mineral water, Mi Kaka looked extremely depressed: "Oh, among the seven of us, we are the only two who didn't figure out the answer to the mystery, which is... too embarrassing."

I thought that Mi Kaka was determined to be a famous detective, but looking at it today, his skill is not enough.

When will we catch up with Qi Mu?Thinking of this, Mikaka felt very depressed.

"Bring it." Suddenly, Xiao Linlin stretched out his hand towards him.

Mikaka's eyes widened in astonishment, "What are you taking?"

Xiao Linlin patted his arm with a smile: "Mikaka, you are so funny. Of course you are here with money!"

"what money?"

Xiao Linlin's eyes widened, and he almost uttered the word Nima, "Of course it's the money for the mineral water!"

"What?!" Mikaka glanced at the mineral water in his hand, and asked, "Didn't you give it to me?"

"Of course not." Xiao Linlin raised her hips confidently, "This mineral water costs five yuan a piece at the convenience store downstairs. So, you should pay me five yuan."

What the hell is this.Mi Kaka thought that this Xiao Linlin was so generous, but he turned out to be a master who likes to steal money.

He had no choice but to take out his wallet and look through it.

"But I don't have five dollars."

"It doesn't matter, you can Alipay, WeChat transfer to me. If not, you can still swipe the card."

Xiao Linlin's service is comparable to that of a big shopping mall, and he actually took out a POS machine from his backpack.

I'm dizzy, it's only five yuan, and I still need to swipe my card!
Mi Kaka quickly handed her ten yuan, "There's no need for change."

"thank you boss!"

Looking at Xiao Linlin who greeted everyone with a smiling face, why did Mi Kaka feel a little pain in his head...

Don't talk about this kind of thing.Their current task is how to solve this mystery.Why in just a few minutes, the scene of the crime changed, and Cai Dong's body disappeared?It's like magic.Mikaka seemed to have seen this kind of trick somewhere, but he didn't remember it.

He and Xiao Linlin rested for a while, recovering slightly.Xiao Linlin threw the finished mineral water bottle into the trash can, and suggested, "Let's go up first and then talk."

Mi Kaka also drank the last sip of mineral water, stood up and patted her legs: "It's the only way."

He was about to walk up the stairs, but Xiao Linlin suddenly stopped him: "I'm exhausted. Let's take the elevator."

That's right, I can't solve the mystery anyway, so it's better to take the elevator up.They walked into the elevator and pressed the 18th floor.After a while, the elevator arrived, and when they went out to take a look, the eyes of Mi Kaka and Xiao Linlin suddenly widened...

oh!The truth turned out to be like this!
Piaget
In the previous office, Qi Mu and others were either sitting on chairs or standing in a corner, and almost everyone was playing with their mobile phones.In modern society, this seems to be the best way to pass the time.Qi Mu was scrolling through WeChat with his head down, when suddenly, a call came in.That was Mikaka's cell phone number, but in Qi Mu's cell phone address book, it was remarked as - [The strongest errands].I don't know how Mikaka will react when he knows this cruel fact?

What are you calling for, kid?Qi Mu was wondering why he and Xiao Linlin hadn't come back for a long time, so he answered the phone.

Mikaka's voice appeared on the phone, and there was a lot of pride in it: "Hee hee. Brother Qi Mu, I have solved the mystery. Don't think that you are the only one who can reason. Xiao Linlin and I are waiting for you upstairs, haha Ha ha."

This guy must be too insane.Qi Mu looked unhappy, hung up the phone with a dark face, then turned and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, the others also put away their phones and followed.

Time to solve the mystery.

Everyone walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the 18th floor.

Seeing this, readers must have a question in their minds: Isn't this the 18th floor?Why press the button for the 18th floor?
That's the crux of the whole puzzle.

When the elevator door opened, Qi Mu and his party came to an office.This office is exactly the same as the office that Qi Mu and the others stayed in before, not only the glass door, but also the furnishings inside the room.It can be said that these are two rooms furnished exactly the same.At this time, Mi Kaka and Xiao Linlin were already sitting in the office.They raised Erlang's feet leisurely, waiting for Qi Mu's arrival.And there was another man in the room. He was neatly dressed, wearing a purple-black designer suit, his glossy black hair was neatly combed behind his head, and on his slightly wrinkled and indifferent face, there was a natural smile of a superior.

He is none other than the corpse lying on the ground just now, that is, Cai Dong, the chairman of Handong Group!
He was already inside waiting for everyone to arrive.Not only was he not dead, but there was still that weirdly dressed shadow man standing beside him.

Isn't it Phantom Thief?How could he stand with the victim Cai Dong?
Presumably, after writing this, readers have already guessed seven or eight points in their hearts.

This shadow geek is a fake.And the so-called secret room murder case was just a test.

This was all arranged by Cai Dong.He stood in the middle of the room, looked at everyone, and applauded appreciatively: "Everyone, you are finally here. Congratulations, you have passed the test."

Qi Mu snorted coldly: "Cut, childish trick."

It's just a small trick: Secretary Li took them to the 18th floor before, and saw Cai Dong collapsed inside.When the shadow monster appeared, they chased it down, and when they returned to the 18th floor, they found that the office was different.Now, the problem arises.It is impossible for the murderer to move the body and clean up the scene in such a short period of time.Well, there's only one possibility, they're looking at two identical offices.

So how did the murderer do it?

The breakthrough point of this trick is the elevator and stairs.The 18th floor shown by the elevator is not the same as the 18th floor shown by the stairs. These are two different floors.Therefore, the trick is very simple. Secretary Li took them to the 18th floor first, and when they saw the shadow monster chasing down, they walked up the floor. The '18th floor' they returned to was actually the 17th floor.Why is there such an illusion?Because the sign of the Exit exit deceived them.Cai Dong ordered people to do tricks, and replaced the 17th floor with the 18th floor sign.No one noticed the floor change at all because they were in such a hurry to chase the Shadow Stranger.

Presumably, the Shadow Stranger was also arranged by Cai Dong.The purpose is to distract these people.

Sure enough, Cai Dong patted the shadow monster next to him: "You go down first."

At this time, the fake shadow geek took off his mask.Its true face is just an ordinary male employee of Handong Group. He was quite helpless when he was assigned to play such a role. He nodded and bowed with a Beijing opera mask: "Chairman, then I will go down first."

Afterwards, he left the office with Secretary Li.

Cai Dong and the seven invitees were left in the room.Cai Dong said: "Thank you very much for accepting my invitation. I believe that with your help, the curse of Mermaid Tears will be solved."

Mikaka asked: "Is the curse of Mermaid Tears so terrible?"

Xiao Linlin interrupted: "Mikaka, you accepted the invitation without doing your homework well. Don't you know the legend of Mermaid Tears?"

Mikaka smiled embarrassedly: "I just received the invitation letter yesterday, and I have been packing my luggage all day, so..."

Xiao Linlin shook his finger at him, like a teacher educating a student who does not seek to make progress: "NONONO! Mikaka, as a detective, it is most basic to do a full investigation in advance. If you do this, you will fail."

Mi Kaka felt extremely ashamed at what she said, "I'm sorry...I was wrong..."

What is the legend of the Mermaid's Tears?
