Coroner Coroner

"Sir, do you know which station the person in front of you just bought a ticket for?"

"how could I know?"

"Who's going to stare at someone while they're buying tickets?"

The passer-by who was pulled said with a surprised face.

"Then have you seen how much money he paid for the ticket?"

Hattori Heiji continued to question.

"I didn't see it clearly..." The passer-by subconsciously replied, "However, I saw him put a few 100 yen coins in his hand and stare at it for a while."

"How many are there?"

"3 or 4?" The passer-by gave a vague answer, and then asked with a strange face: "Why are you asking so detailed?!"

"Haha...Thank you very much."

Hattori Heiji's brain began to work rapidly, analyzing all the clues he had just captured:

"I couldn't see the whole process of Lin Xinyi's ticket purchase, and I didn't see exactly which station he bought."

"But at least, I saw that the subway line he chose was the 'Mihua Line'."

"Although I couldn't catch up with him when he bought the ticket, I couldn't see or hear how many coins he threw."

"But when he bought the ticket and was about to leave, I was already nearby, but I didn't hear the 'clang bang bang bang' when the change machine spit out the coins."

"That is to say, the money he put in should be just right, so there is no change."

"And the rice cracker thread..."

Hattori Heiji took a closer look at the subway map and the price list:

"The starting station of the Mihua Line is here, and his destination can only be towards the end, which can be confirmed."

"The Mihua Line is charged by station, and the price at each station is slightly different."

"Lin Xinyi just said on the phone again, 'I can arrive in half an hour'."

"In this case, it is impossible for him to take too many stations by subway, and the farthest is only possible to take the station within 240 yen."

There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes:

"A passer-by said that Lin Xinyi put 3 or 4 hundred-yen coins in his hand and stared at it for a while."

"Obviously, he bought the ticket with these hundred yen coins."

"If Lin Xinyi bought a subway ticket at a price of 170 yen or 240 yen, there will definitely be change."

"But I didn't hear the sound of the coins colliding during the change, which means..."

"The subway ticket for the station that Lin Xinyi bought is an integer of 100."

"Combined with the half-hour commute time, reserve the walking time after leaving the station..."

"The answer can only be, the Shita station at the price of 200 yen!"

In this way, Hattori Heiji passed the three points of "I didn't hear the sound of change", "Lin Xinyi said that he would arrive in half an hour", "Lin Xinyi stared at the 3 or 4 hundred-yen coins in his hand for a while", It was successfully analyzed that what he bought would be a subway ticket to Sitian Station.

"Lin Xinyi has gone to the bathroom now."

"That being the case, if I leave now, I will go to Sitian Station before him."

"If you wait for him at the subway exit of Sitian Station, the arrogant forest management officer will be surprised, right?"

Hattori Heiji had such a beautiful picture in his mind:

I smiled and stood at the door of Shitian Station.

As soon as Lin Xin walked to the exit of the subway station, his eyes were full of surprise when he saw himself waiting in advance.

The effect of this show is simply full.

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji hurriedly took out the Tokyo Metro Card he had issued, and rushed to take the subway.

.............................................

10 minutes later, Hattori Heiji has already arrived at Shita Station, which he thought Hayashi Shinichi would definitely come to, based on his own reasoning.

"Although only superficial reasoning and investigation methods were used this time, the way of appearing at his destination first will definitely make him feel shocked instinctively."

"At that time, he will definitely not dare to underestimate my ability as a detective, and will agree to take me to handle the case together!"

Hattori Heiji thought so in his heart, and his smile was even more expectant.

He was looking forward to Lin Xinyi's surprised expression when he saw him.

So, he stood upright at the exit gate of Sitian Station, like a door god, watching with blazing eyes.

5 minutes passed...

"Should he come?"

10 minutes passed.

"Why haven't you come yet..."

Two 10 minutes passed.

"Damn... Did he fall into the toilet?"

Half an hour passed.

At this time, the smile on Hattori Heiji's face had become stiff.

He finally realized unwillingly that his reasoning had made a mistake.

But where is the mistake?Why did it go wrong?

"There is no sound of change", "It will arrive in half an hour", "Lin Xinyi stared at the 3 or 4 hundred-yen coins in his hand for a while"...

Combining these three points, plus the route of Mihua Line, the answer should be only Sitian Station!

Hattori Heiji's eyes became serious and deep:

unless…

Lin Xinyi didn't buy a subway ticket at all, so there was no sound of change.

But this possibility is extremely small. After all, he stood in front of the ticket machine for so long. What else could he be doing if he wasn't buying a subway ticket?

That being the case, it seems that there is only one possibility left——

Lin Xinyi bought a subway ticket, and it was Sitian Station.

However, he did not take the subway to Sitian Station as originally planned.

because…

"He has already predicted, will I predict his destination?"

"So, in order to avoid my harassment, he specially changed his way of commuting?"

Thinking about it, Hattori Heiji's expression became extremely exciting:

The other party slipped away without a sound.

But I was stupid, standing in this Sitian station for so long.

Although there is no direct confrontation in this round, it has been invisible, and the winners and losers have been separated.

"He even predicted my actions in advance..."

"As expected of the Terminator of the Detective Age, it really is unfathomable!"

At this moment, Hattori Heiji couldn't help feeling a little awe.

...............................

Five 10 minutes ago.

In front of the ticket vending machine at the subway station.

Lin Xin put the only 3 hundred-yen coins left in his wallet in his hand, counted them, and his gaze became extremely complicated:

"Damn it...the day before yesterday I went on a trip to the hot springs and went to the Fireworks Festival. I spent too much money."

"The money that Aunt Miles promised to be reimbursed hasn't arrived yet... Now I only have 300 yen left all over my body."

"It's been a... well."

He stared at the pitiful three hundred-yen coins, and finally made a decision helplessly:

Forget it... let's run back.

Tell Xiao Ai, wait for half an hour, and it's almost time to run.

Chapter 201 This Detective Is Not Good

The next day, afternoon.

Conan is still in school today, and the people of Tokyo have not suffered for the time being.

With nothing to do, Lin Xinyi skipped work early as usual, rushing back to study and recharge.

When he walked out of the Metropolitan Police Department building, Xiao Ai's phone call came just in time.

"Oh...you have already borrowed that professional book from the library?"

"Okay, then you can cook now, I'll go directly."

"Hmm... well, I won't be going home today, let's study slowly at night."

With a smile on the corner of Lin Xinyi's mouth, he spoke to the phone in an unconsciously warm tone.

Suddenly, he noticed footsteps behind him.

The footsteps were neither near nor far away, always trailing behind him, maintaining a very subtle and fixed distance.

Lin Xinyi quickened his pace a little, and the sound of his footsteps became rapid and dense.

The other party was obviously stalking him, but he was very close—it seemed that the guy didn't intend to hide his existence.
