824 Qiao Xin’s Merit
“No,” Qiao Xin said in a daze.
“We’ve known each other for so long. When have I ever worn stockings?”
“That’s good.”
Lin Yi picked up a bunch of grapes and sat cross-legged on the sofa, thinking about this as he ate.
“What is going on Brother Lin? After all, I’ve watched Conan for so many years. My logical thinking is naturally pretty good.”
Lin Yi thought about it and felt that it might help to describe this matter to Qiao Xin.
At the very least, he could not figure it out himself.
“Then I’ll talk. Listen.”
“Brother Lin, wait a moment.”
Qiao Xin ran back to her room and quickly jogged out.
A pair of glasses without lenses appeared in her hand before being promptly stuck on the bridge of her nose.
“What are you doing with this?”
“This is one of Conan’s peripherals. That’s the kind of glasses he wears, but mine are lensless.”
Qiao Xin pretended to be deep in thought and said,
“Brother Lin, look at my temperament now. Isn’t it a little like him?”
“Uh, I think it’s a little weird.”
Lin Yi felt that if he brought a two-dimensional girl like Qiao Xin and a silly girl like Zhang Xiaoyu to his side, his life would turn into a television series.
Qiao Xin chuckled. “Brother Lin, tell me now.”
Lin Yi straightened his expression and said,
“From the day before yesterday, a mysterious person snuck into Director Li’s house, but he didn’t take anything valuable. Her underwear and other things weren’t touched either. The only things that were touched were her research materials and computer.”
“Could he be interested in Director Li’s research results? This is the same crime as robbery,” Qiao Xin said seriously, giving off the aura of a private detective.
“That’s possible, but there’s something very suspicious here. The lock and window of their house didn’t show any signs of being broken. In other words, the person who entered her house entered with a key.” Lin Yi looked at Qiao Xin and asked.
“You know what I mean, right?”
“Eh… Brother Lin, are you suspecting me?”
Lin Yi rolled his eyes at Qiao Xin. “If I suspected you, I wouldn’t be telling you this now.”
“Then this is a little suspicious.”
Qiao Xin crossed her arms in front of her chest and rubbed her chin with one hand as if in thought.
“The security doors nowadays are all very advanced. It’s impossible for a random wire to pick the lock, so the chances that a key was used to open the door is very high.”
“That’s what I thought, but you’re the only one with a key to her house, so I came to ask you about things here.”
“But I’ve always had the key, and I’ve never lent it to anyone. Besides, no one could have come to steal the key.”
“Are you sure you’ve always had it?”
“Of course. My phone, wallet, and keys are in my bag. It must be…”
Halfway through her sentence, Qiao Xin’s voice stopped abruptly, and her expression turned strange.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Did you think of something?” Seeing Qiao Xin’s expression, Lin Yi hurriedly asked.
“It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that we’re inseparable. When I was shopping a few days ago, I ran into something strange.”
“What is it?”
“When I was shopping, I tried on a dress. After I tried it on, I went out to look for a mirror. Just as I was feeling smug, a few good-looking ladies came over and surrounded me. They said that the boots on my feet looked good and asked me where I bought them. They even praised my figure. At that time, I felt a little smug. I chatted with them for about ten minutes before they left one after another. It was only then that I remembered that my bag was still in the fitting room. I was afraid that I would encounter a thief, so I went back to look for my bag. However, my bag was still there and I didn’t lose anything, so I didn’t worry too much at that time.”
After thinking for a few seconds, Qiao Xin said,
“I think there’s a problem here. Those beautiful ladies might have been sent by the mysterious person. At that time, someone went to the fitting room, rummaged through my bag, and copied the key to Director Li’s house!”
“Um…”
After hearing Qiao Xin’s description, Lin Yi felt that the atmosphere now was really a little like Conan.
It was inexplicably exciting!
“How do you duplicate the key?”
Although Lin Yi had the sage’s wisdom, this kind of knowledge that violated morals were in his blind spot.
“You don’t even know that?”
“I really don’t know.”
“You use something that looks like mud. As long as you press the two sides of the key on top of it, you can capture the shape of the key and replicate it.”
With that, Qiao Xin took out her phone. “Brother Lin, wait a moment. There’s a paragraph on this in Conan. I’ll find it and take a look.”
Qiao Xin skillfully operated her phone. In a few minutes, she handed it over.
