Wouldn't you choose a movie for children, too?

"Gomera." Lin Xinyi replied without hesitation.

He reacted a little bit, and added: "I mean, today's protagonist is you, let's watch some movies that children like to watch."

"..." Hui Yuanai rolled her eyes helplessly.

She then agreed unconditionally: "I also want to see Gomera."

"Okay!" The friends cheered excitedly.

With a vote of 5 to 1, Conan has no room to struggle anymore:

"Okay, let's look at Gomera..."

He walked into the cinema dejectedly.

Lin Xinyi, Hui Yuanai, and three children from the Detective Boys also walked in.

The scale of this movie theater is not too big. Although the decoration is high-grade, it has an old smell everywhere, and it looks like it has been around for a while.

Such an old small movie theater has obviously been gradually eliminated in the fierce market competition.

When Lin Xinyi and others came in, they saw that there were only two staff members at the front desk, and the number of guests who came to watch the movie was even more pitiful, and they could almost be counted on one hand.

There are tripods, wires, and various construction tools in the corners, and they are not just about to be redecorated, but they are about to be relocated and demolished.

But these questions naturally have nothing to do with Lin Xinyi.

He is just a customer and has no need to worry about the fate of an old movie theater.

In fact, the fewer people in the cinema, the more at ease he felt:

"With fewer people, the murderer and the victim should not be so hard to guess..."

Lin Xinyi looked at the several guests and employees in the hall without expression, but in his heart he was very impolite, imagining the hideous scenes of them killing or being killed.

No way... Who let Conan be here?

He didn't come here today to watch a movie.

It was only when he heard that Conan was on vacation again, and organized some "holiday activities", that he skipped his job in the Metropolitan Police Department with extreme anxiety and came to work as a babysitter for a group of children.

If something really happens today, maybe I can prevent it in advance.

No matter how bad it is, the investigation can be carried out as soon as the incident occurs to gain a time advantage.

If nothing happens today, then...

Then consider it a date with your girlfriend.

Lin Xinyi lowered his head and glanced at Miss Huiyuan next to him - she held his hand and looked up at the poster of Gomera on the wall.

Although the helplessness in her eyes has already revealed her almost non-existent expectations for this movie.

But looking at the slightly raised corners of her mouth, her interest didn't seem low.

Speaking of which, this was the first time they watched a movie together.

"First find a way to investigate the 'hidden dangers' that may exist in this movie theater."

"If it's okay, then concentrate on watching movies with Zhibao."

As soon as Lin Xin thought about it, he concentrated and carefully observed the guests and staff present.

This is not an easy job.

Most of the time it's down to luck.

And just when he was about to go closer and try to find some signs that might lead to the case through eavesdropping and chatting...

Suddenly there was a loud voice in the hall:

"Hey... Hey, Boss Muramatsu!"

"Since there are not many customers, why don't you procrastinate any longer."

"Let's close the door today and tear down this broken movie theater!"

A middle-aged man with a fierce face yelled unceremoniously as soon as he entered the door.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he exhaled choking smoke, and with that ferocious smile and ugly face, he looked like a hateful villain.

The one he called "Boss Muramatsu" was an old man on crutches, whose identity was naturally the owner of this movie theater.

"Mr. Zhang Tian...cough cough cough cough..."

Seeing Mr. Muramatsu, who is already 6 or 70 years old, coughing violently, he said to the unfriendly Mr. Zhang Tian in a difficult tone:

"It was agreed before that yes, it will be demolished tomorrow."

"Today is the anniversary of our cinema, and hopefully it will allow us to operate this last day."

The old man Muramatsu had a pitiful look on his pleading in a low voice.

But Mr. Zhang Tian just sneered:

"Hehe... There are not many guests in total, so why commemorate?"

"It's really deserted, tsk tsk... I should have bought it for less money if I knew it earlier."

"enough!"

A tall staff member stood up from the side.

He cursed at the aggressive Mr. Zhang Tian with disgust on his face:

"It's obvious that you arranged for the gangsters to come over and smash the scene, so there are so few customers?"

"You rogue businessman!"

"Hey, hey...don't talk nonsense." Mr. Zhang Tian spread his hands arrogantly: "I said that those little gangsters were arranged by me, but you have to show evidence?"

"You!!" Several staff members present turned pale with anger.

"Okay, okay...don't even talk about it." Boss Muramatsu came out a little lonely to smooth things over:

"Our old movie theater has gradually lost customers..."

"It was I who took the initiative to sell this movie theater. It doesn't matter if Mr. Zhang Tian makes trouble or not."

Hearing this, Lin Xinyi also roughly figured out the relationship between the characters:

Mr. Zhang Tian should be a real estate businessman, but Mr. Muramatsu's movie theater is not doing well, so he intends to sell it.

In order to suppress the purchase price, Mr. Zhang Tian hired local ruffians to make trouble at the door, while urging Mr. Muramatsu to sell the theater and agree to demolish it.

this plot...

Seems like deja vu?

When Lin Xin looked at Mr. Zhang Tian, ​​his expression suddenly became strange:

He remembered that the Ochiai curator of Mihua Art Museum killed the owner of real estate developer Manaka just because he didn't want the art museum to be acquired by real estate developers.

Also, the last time Kamei's producer wanted to disband the Gomera crew, but was taken away by Gomera's leather case actor Matsui.

With these two lessons learned from the past, let's look at what this Mr. Zhang Tian did...

Then look at the innocent Conan next to him, who has experienced so many times but has not noticed the problem.

Today's case is easier to find than any previous case:

"'Victim' seems to have been identified..."

"As for the 'murderer', it is probably the same as the previous curator Ochiai and Mr. Matsui. He is an employee of the unit who does not want the unit he has worked for for many years to disband, but has no right to speak and make decisions."

Lin Xinyi could basically see clearly that the death star was flashing on Mr. Zhang Tian's head.

He thought for a while, and didn't know how to stop the possible tragedy at the right time, so he stood up with a serious face:

"enough!"

"Please restrain yourself, Mr. Zhang Tian."

"Who are you? What are you talking about!" Mr. Zhang Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then looked over politely.

"I'm here for your own good."

Lin Xinyi said mysteriously:

"I advise you to leave this cinema today, or you may encounter a bloody disaster."

"Huh?" The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little weird.

Mr. Zhang Tian grinned even more angrily:

"Who are you cursing? Bastard!"

"Want to scare me? Do you think I will be afraid of you?"

"You needn't be afraid of me."

Lin Xinyi's voice was still so calm:

"I just advise you to be careful, be careful, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Otherwise, if someone kills you, it won't be me, but you who will suffer."

"You..." Hearing Lin Xinyi's calm statement tone, Mr. Zhang Tian wanted to scold but couldn't.

Suddenly caught by a stranger saying such a weird thing, and the other party looked like a charlatan asking for money...

This feeling is still quite weird.

"Bah! Bad luck!"

Mr. Zhang Tian glared at Lin Xinyi viciously, and finally chose to walk away cursing.

Although he looked very angry and didn't listen much, Lin Xinyi's goal has been achieved:

With such a pretentious warning, the other party will become more or less sensitive and be more careful.

Most importantly, these words can deter the few theater workers present - that is, potential murderers.

Unlike the few murderers who were successfully stopped before, the murderer's motive for killing this time is very special:

The theater where I worked was acquired at a low price...
