And after Lin Xinyi knew that Ms. Qiangtian was driving a Ferrari now, she didn't think about trying to persuade her to go back to the pit.

Everyone tacitly put aside the topic and turned to discuss today's mysterious dinner:

"Miss Guntian."

Lin Xinyi asked curiously:

"It looks like you came earlier than all of us."

"Then have you seen the guy who invited us to dinner here?"

"No." Guntian Yumi smiled and shook her head: "That 'Phantom Child' doesn't seem to plan to show up in person at all."

"Apart from the few of us in this room, there is only Detective Dashang Zhushan who was also invited, and a maid who was arranged by the mastermind behind the scenes to act on his behalf."

"Oh, Detective Dashang Zhushan?" Lin Xinyi thought of something: "The 'Gourmet Detective' who often appears on cooking shows?"

"That's right." Guntian Yumei glanced at him thoughtfully: "It's him."

"Detective Dashang came earlier than me."

"Now, he should be busy preparing dinner for everyone in the kitchen?"

Dashang Zhushan, male, 52 years old, is quite accomplished in the fields of cooking and reasoning, and is known as the "Gourmet Detective" by people in the Jianghu.

He was also one of the detectives invited to the dinner this time.

Because the chef arranged for everyone by the person behind the scenes asked for leave and didn't show up, he missed this job, resulting in no one cooking dinner.

Therefore, in order not to be hungry at night, this big detective who is addicted to food volunteered to take over the job of the cook and went to the kitchen to prepare food for the dinner for everyone.

"I see." Lin Xin nodded.

He thought for a while, then asked again:

"Then Miss Qiangtian, what happened to the maid lady you just mentioned?"

"Is she a subordinate of that 'Phantom Child'?"

"The master behind this scene didn't show himself, but only sent a maid to meet us?"

"You can say that, but..." Guntian Yumi smiled: "She can't be regarded as a subordinate of 'Phantom Child'."

"Because she knows no more about today's host than the few of us invited guests."

"According to the lady maid herself:"

"She's just a temporary worker who was hired with a high salary to arrange this dinner for the few of us."

"And during the whole process, the person behind the scenes who hired her as a maid never showed up—the other party only contacted her by phone and email, and gave her instructions remotely."

The mastermind never showed up from the beginning to the end, but arranged for a maid to be his tool.

As for why he made himself so mysterious, what was his purpose in arranging this dinner...

Guntian Ikumi has not found the answer yet.

"Anyway, the maid said that according to her employer's order, we all have to wait here patiently."

"When the dinner officially starts, her employer should show up."

Gun Tian Yumei relayed the news she inquired from the maid to Hayashi Shinichi.

And Lin Xinyi didn't feel nervous at all because of the mysterious behavior of the man behind the scenes:

"Heh, this guy is quite good at playing tricks."

"Okay, then let's take a stroll around the Twilight Pavilion and see what tricks he's going to play after the dinner begins."

Lin Xinyi smiled lightly.

Then he planned to bid farewell to Guntian Ikumi and others for a while, and went to visit the old home of the boss.

And just then...

"Manager Lin?"

"And Miss Mori, Detective Motegi, Detective Senma?"

A strange and enthusiastic voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a fat man in a white suit and a green bow tie walking towards this side with a smile.

Lin Xinyi recognized that he was the gourmet detective who was also invited by the mysterious person, Ogami Zhushan, who was mentioned by Gundam Ikumi just now.

"I said, why is it so lively in the hall all of a sudden?"

"It turns out that so many powerful colleagues have come here."

Dashang Zhu Shanpang had a kind smile on his face:

"Mogi, Chiken, long time no see."

He first greeted the two old colleagues he knew, and then turned to look at Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan:

"Hello, Mr. Lin, Miss Maori."

"I am the Great Master Zhu Shan..."

"I know you." Lin Xinyi shook the hand warmly extended by Dashang Zhushan: "I've seen you on TV."

"Haha." Grand Master Zhu Shan smiled even brighter: "I have admired Mr. Lin for a long time."

"To have the opportunity to exchange ideas with a genius like you face-to-face today is truly a worthwhile trip!"

Dashang Zhushan's familiarity and politeness made the atmosphere much more lively.

As he said that, he also looked with interest at Sengen Kaidai and Motegi Haruki who he was familiar with:

"Detective Senma, Detective Motegi."

"You all came with Manager Lin, how is it? Mr. Lin didn't disappoint you, did he?"

Famous detectives and famous detectives always want to distinguish between high and low, so when they meet for the first time, it is natural that they will try each other out.

Dashang Zhushan is now half-joking, inquiring about the results of these two old acquaintances' testing of Lin Xinyi.

"This..." Sengen Kodai and Motegi Haruki remained silent.

The expressions are getting weirder than the other.

In the end, both detectives gave exactly the same evaluation:

"Mr. Lin, he..."

"It's very unpredictable."

"Oh?" Dashang Zhu Shan was even more energetic.

He looked at Lin Xinyi with great interest, with the kind of challenging desire unique to famous detectives in his eyes.

"Hmm..." The corner of Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched slightly: "Detective Dashang, don't you want to show me your hands too?"

"Of course." Dashang Zhushan admitted frankly: "I heard that you, Mr. Lin, are called 'a famous detective beyond Sherlock Holmes'."

"Seeing you today, how can I not ask you for advice?"

Lin Xinyi was even more helpless when he heard that:

Speaking of which, he really has the nickname "Super Sherlock Holmes" which sounds extremely hate-inducing.

This is not because he has any real ability to surpass Holmes.

It's because the media is irresponsible in giving famous detectives nicknames, and they call people "Sherlock Holmes" every now and then.

The result is the same as "Oriental Bismarck", "Oriental Napoleon", "XX City Peng Yuyan", "XX County Wu Yanzu" and other titles...

The title "Sherlock Holmes" became inflated and became worthless.

After all, Sherlock Holmes is the idol of all detectives and a legend that future generations can only hope for.

However, Sherlock Holmes in Heisei could not be the number one in the world and make all the detectives look up to him willingly - there is no way, there are too many people with an IQ of 1 Ke in this world.

result…

Heisei Holmes accidentally lost to Lin Xinyi, and was "frustrated" after losing, so he "washed his hands in the golden basin, disappeared and retired".

Doesn't Lin Xinyi become "Super Sherlock Holmes"?

And as soon as this kind of title is called out, won't it attract the red eyes of fellow detectives?

"not like this!"

Mao Lilan noticed the trouble this title brought to Lin Xinyi.

So she stood up uncontrollably and explained to her teacher:

"This is all exaggerated publicity by the media to attract people's attention."

"Mr. Lin is certainly not as powerful as the legendary Sherlock Holmes."

Miss Mao Li blinked her big innocent eyes, and defended Lin Xinyi confidently:

"He's just better than the famous detective in reality!"

Lin Xinyi and Dashang Zhushan: "..."

Perhaps realizing that the words were not in the right taste, Mao Lilan hurriedly added:

"Mr. Dashang, I'm not saying that you are inferior to Mr. Lin."

"I'm talking about Shinichi... Kudo Shinichi, and Hattori Heiji and the others."

Conan: "..."

The scene became quieter.

It's okay if Miss Maori doesn't persuade you.

Originally, Dashang Zhushan just wanted to make friends with wisdom and exchange ideas with masters for a while.

After being persuaded by her like this, there was a trace of gunpowder smell in the air.

"Haha." Da Shang Zhu Shan's kindly round face showed a sharp edge: "Miss Mao Li is right."

"Even the Kanto Kudo and the Kansai Service Department lost to Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is indeed better than the current famous detectives."

"In this case, it's time for me to have a good conversation with Mr. Lin."
