Lestrade's questions came rattling like a Chicago typewriter.
With so many questions added together, even a little Sherlock Holmes with an explosive IQ like Conan can't figure out how to solve it.
But Lin Xinyi was able to make it happen.
Because the fool does not need a high IQ, only needs a higher IQ than the victim:
"Inspector Lestrade, I can answer all your questions:"
"We know these secrets because..."
"because?"
"Alas..." Lin Xinyi sighed deeply.
Put on a helpless gesture of "I planned to get along with you as ordinary people":
"Because of my 'prophecy' ability. '"
"Up to now, I won't hide it from you—"
"Actually, I am a monk who came all the way from the east to the west to kill demons."
"These children are lay disciples following my practice."
Conan: "..."
Mao Lilan: "..."
Mr. Lin, what are you doing...
Why did everyone become monks?
This style of painting has become too exaggerated! !
The teammates were all stunned by Lin Xinyi's operation.
Officer Lestrade was even more confused when he heard that:
Why did this young gentleman in a suit and leather shoes suddenly become a mysterious Eastern monk?
"You don't have braids on your head, do you?"
Lin Xinyi: "..."
Damn... I forgot that the Qing Dynasty is not dead yet.
Lestrade's soul questioning almost broke his defense.
"We are monks."
"Hairstyle choices are more free."
Lin Xinyi was talking nonsense seriously.
Anyway, these Westerners know nothing about Eastern monks.
Even though he pretended to be an oriental monk, he was still the trendy and fashionable one who wore a suit and tie.
As for whether the title of "Oriental Monk" is useful in the West...
Miss Huiyuan used her historical literacy to assure him that this trick is absolutely easy to use.
In London at the end of the 19th century, the mysterious oriental monks were even more marketable than their native Hogwarts wizards.
Because there is an upsurge of oriental mysticism in the West these years.
It's even mentioned in the original Sherlock Holmes:
During the three years when Holmes feigned death to escape the pursuit of Moriarty's remnants, two of them were spent in temples on the snowy plateau in the Far East.
From this we can see the fantasy and longing of Westerners for the mysterious East at that time.
As the first generation of Wenqing yearning for the plateau, in their fantasy, the snow-covered plateau is simply a pure utopia far away from the world.
This fantasy has even been passed down to later generations.
So much so that until now, Western gentlemen represented by the BBC are still staring at this piece.
They hope that there will never be modernization there, and they will always stay in the primitive and ignorant old age, and will always act as living fossils in the eyes of Western curiosity hunters.
It's like watching monkeys in a zoo, the more "natural" the better.
What repairs railways and runs schools to improve people's lives...
No, it's not innocent anymore.
Western gentlemen don't like this.
And now, in 1888, when the Qing capital was still alive, it was still the most mysterious and purest time in the East.
The mysterious monk from the mysterious east is naturally so mysterious that it is admirable——
Since they are all masters.
Then it's reasonable for me to order divination, right?
I know the prophecy, so I know Moriarty's name, Sherlock Holmes' privacy, and when Jack the Ripper will commit crimes, is it normal?
"That's how it is."
Lin Xinyi put on an appearance of "Master Lin Zhi", and explained to Lestrade calmly:
"I predicted that a tragedy would happen here tonight."
"Because I couldn't bear it, I brought my disciples to stop it in advance."
"But this time, after all, it was slower."
"But that's okay, there's still one more chance to catch Jack the Ripper—"
"It is between 1:30 and 1:45, Bishop's Square."
"Hmm..." Lestrade had a strange expression on his face.
He obviously didn't believe Lin Xinyi's nonsense.
This also doesn't work:
An eminent monk ran to the "bishop's square" and cast down demons on the bishop's site...
This sense of disobedience is too strong.
Moreover, Lin Xinyi and the others don't look at all like the simple and mysterious oriental monks in their clothes.
That suit, that tie, that leather shoes, know the fashion better than the gentlemen in London.
Especially the clothes on those little brahmin players...
The nobles in the city of London don't dress so well, do they?
This dress is too modern, impure, and tasteless.
Lestrade really couldn't believe such absurd remarks, and even suspected that the other party was insulting his IQ.
But Lin Xinyi didn't rush.
Hui Yuanai dared to give him such an unconstrained idea, so naturally she helped him figure out a way to fool these npcs.
Now is his time to act:
"Haha."
"I know it's hard to take."
"But the truth is—"
"I can see 'slices' of the future ahead of time and meet people I've never met before."
"For example..."
Lin Xinyi paused for a while.
He turned his head and looked away from Officer Lestrade's gaze:
Standing in the distance was a middle-aged man dressed poorly, surrounded by patrolmen for questioning.
He was the witness who just yelled "killed".
After the incident, the patrol police rushed to the scene immediately, and there were surrounding residents who testified:
Lin Xinyi and the others never communicated privately with the first witness.
They don't know each other at all, and they don't have a chance to know each other.
But Lin Xinyi knew his name:
"If what I got from the 'forecognition' is correct:"
"He should be Mr. Israel Schwartz, a Jew."
Of course, this is not a prophecy, but the details of the case recorded by Haibara Ai——
Because of his involvement in the case of Jack the Ripper, this witness, who was originally unknown, also passed on his name to future generations.
"This..." Lestrade's expression changed slightly.
He turned around and questioned the on-site patrol officer.
After confirming the name of the witness, and confirming that Lin Xinyi and the others had never communicated with the witness from the beginning to the end...
At last Inspector Lestrade's demeanor changed slightly.
"You are right."
"Although I don't know how you know..."
"But the guy who almost saw the real face of Jack the Ripper was indeed 'Israel Schwartz.'"
He affirmed what Lin Xinyi "predicted".
But there are still doubts in the words and eyes.
Obviously, Master Lin's show of such a small hand could not frighten the experienced police officer Lestrade.
"I know you still don't believe it."
"But that's okay."
