Chapter 99: No decryption, no peace of mind
"Yes!" Shizuka nodded heavily and then began to explain~
This is the thing.
A few days ago, a new old man moved in opposite Shizuka's house, who is very old.
The Shizuka family thought that this would be their new neighbor, so they bought some fruits and prepared to visit them. After all, they lived in the opposite door, and they might have to help each other for big and small things in the future.
However, during the conversation with the old man, Shizuka learned that the old man was not going to live here.
He bought this house, but he actually wanted to buy it...
Well, yes, this old man just bought the house and left it there, empty... Don't worry about what others think, you are rich and willful!
Although Shizuka's family also found it very strange, they didn't ask much.
In the next few days, Shizuka discovered that the old man did not live in the opposite house, and he even had no arrangement of furniture, beds and other things.
Every day, at about 10 am, he would enter the next room. The door was so open and not closed. Shizuka was curious and lay at the door and looked in secretly several times, and found that every time... that
The old man lived in a cane, stood in the empty living room, looking at the wall without moving.
Sometimes, he stood for an hour, sometimes for two or three hours.
Anyway, he did nothing and just stood there. After standing, he left directly.
Shizuka was very curious about this old man, so just yesterday, before she came to Nobita's house, she finally couldn't help it. She asked the old man, who he was and why he wanted to buy this apartment?
And in the following conversation, Shizuka learned.
The reason why this old man bought the house opposite was because...he wanted to solve a puzzle that has troubled him for more than fifty years!
"What...what puzzle?" Zhou Yan asked, listening, curious and was also asked.
But Shizuka shook her head: "The old man didn't say anything. I was in a hurry to come to Nobita to play at that time, so I didn't ask. But I could feel that the old man must be very rich!"
"That's right~" Zhou Yan said in his heart: "In order to solve a puzzle, he even bought a house. This style is comparable to that guy Li Huan."
"So... are you going to introduce this old man to us and let us solve his puzzle?" Lin Xidao.
"Well!" Shizuka said: "That old man must have cared about this puzzle that has bothered him for decades, and he told me that if he really can't think of it, he can only entrust the detective agency.
Come and help him.”
Lin Xi fell into deep thought...
There is no need to say more about a person who can buy an apartment at will but cannot stay empty.
Moreover, the nature of this case is not robbery, stealing, or something. It's just that an old man wants to solve a puzzle from decades ago, so the scope of the case will not be too large, and he will not be able to deal with police, forensics, etc.
All the people got involved.
Such a case is the best for a newly established detective agency.
As for the commission... this old man even bought a house in order to understand the secret, so it is definitely not comparable to a card.
Moreover, if this old man is a celebrity or a wealthy businessman, he will attract a few media to report to the detective agency.
That would be a big profit.
"Okay... we have accepted this commission!" Lin Xidao.
......
In this way, Lin Xi took it into his pocket.
The first day of Xiyan Detective Agency opening has been a very good start.
Zhou Yan also got off work and returned to Li Huan's apartment with the sunset.
This time, his superpower was not activated, and Zhou Yan was a little depressed, feeling that he would take the bus in the future.
After going upstairs, Zhou Yan was surprised to find that Li Huan was surprisingly quiet today, and did not, as usual, run around his house, chattering and wandering around.
Maybe it's because I'm going to publish a book.
At this stage, it is the time for an author to be the most tired.
"Emmmm... I did nothing, but the girl was working hard, but the money was still my last. Thinking of this, I felt a little unbearable."
Zhou Yan thought to himself: "Or, share half of the money? Cut... forget it. Even if you give her half, it will probably not be enough for this girl to have sushi, so she still doesn't have a penny.
I’ll save it for her, and it can also inspire her to create!”
Zhou Yan thought happily, and then took out his cell phone.
There is not a single call above.
There was not even a call from the police station.
"..." Zhou Yan frowned, feeling very strange.
Why don’t the police station look for themselves?
Three days have passed since the incident about that perverted girl.
Logically speaking, if the police caught someone, they should call me to identify the murderer.
If you don't catch someone, you should contact me, after all, I'm considered an eyewitness.
What's wrong with this news?
Don't know my phone number?
It's impossible, they won't forget the text message that insulted the police for half a year.
Could it be...
Zhou Yan thought of a very bad possibility.
"Did that female pervert really cleaned up the scene without any clues, even the bloodstains, and even the 'Lumino reaction' could not be found?
No way!
Otherwise, find time to go to the State Administration of Police? Reply?”
Zhou Yan thought, but unconsciously took out the piece of paper.
【Detective Club】
Zhou Yan was fumbled on the handwriting...
Does this club really exist in the legend?
If so, how can I find him?
Also, why can’t I find the place called [Sunday Bar] and the city where it is located in the letter sent to Fei Gua?
These puzzles once again stirred Zhou Yan's nerves. At this moment, he seemed to be able to understand the old man in Shizuka's mouth.
A puzzle can really make a person remember his whole life.
Sometimes, it can even make people feel that if you don’t untie this secret, you will die with your eyes open.
"Why......"
Zhou Yan sighed and kicked out the random thoughts in his mind.
There will be a big deal tomorrow, so let's take a break early!
He thought... and then he packed up and went to bed to fall asleep.
......
The next day, at 8:10.
Zhou Yan was 10 minutes late as usual.
And when he pushed the door and entered the detective agency...
I saw an old man sitting on the sofa.
Zhou Yan looked at the old man and blinked his eyes. The first thought in his mind was...
Chapter completed!
