"Hmm..."
Lin Yi paused intentionally, as if organizing his thoughts, and then said:
"Hmm..."
Lin Yi paused intentionally, as if organizing his thoughts, and then said:
"From the phrase 'Anyway, I can't guess it, because I'm pretty sure you can't guess it either,' we can be quite sure that the clues [B] received do not include the 18th or 19th."
"Why do I say that? Because the 18th and 19th are unique days, specifically May 19th and June 18th. If [B] had received the clue for the 18th or the 19th, they would have been able to guess the answer immediately."
"Because [A] is very sure that [B] could not have guessed it, there would be no unexpected situation."
"Therefore, we can rule out all dates in May and June."
"Wait..."
When Lin Yi got to this point, Okino Yoko couldn't help but interrupt him, curiously asking, "Why does that rule out May and June? I don't understand how you rule out May 16th and 17th and June 15th."
Upon hearing Okino Yoko's question, Kogoro Mouri instinctively nodded, clearly also not understanding why Lin Yi would rule out May and June, but realizing they were still recording, he stopped nodding, touching his chin to disguise it.
In response to the question, Lin Yi patiently explained: "If [A] knows the clue is May, because there is a unique 19th, [A] cannot be sure that [B] won't guess it."
"If [A] knows the clue is June, likewise, because there is a unique 18th, [A] also couldn't be sure that [B] wouldn't guess it."
"But in July and August, the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th repeat."
"Therefore, only in July and August can [A] be sure that [B] won't guess the answer."
"So we can rule out May and June."
"Ohh~~!" Okino Yoko exclaimed, as if she suddenly understood, and then, a little embarrassed, said, "I still don't fully understand... but I'll think about it later."
"Hahaha... don't worry, Yoko. Because I didn't fully understand it either," Takashi Matsuo said self-critically while looking at Lin Yi and gesturing, "Assistant Lin, please continue."
"Mm." Lin Yi nodded and continued:
"After [A] said that, [B] immediately knows that the clue [A] received was from July or August. They can determine the date based on the day they have, so they can rule out the 14th, which appears in both months."
"There are only three dates left: July 16th, August 15th, and August 17th."
"And after [B] leaves, [A] knows the exact date, so the only possibility is July 16th."
"If [A] had received the clue for August, only the 15th and 17th would remain, and in that case, after [B] left, [A] wouldn't be able to know the exact date."
"Therefore, the answer is July 16th."
"Ohh~~ Keep going, keep going!"
Takashi Matsuo couldn't help but clap, impressed: "I didn't expect Assistant Lin to be so sharp, no wonder Mr. Mouri chose you as his assistant."
"No, it's all thanks to Mr. Mouri's excellent teaching."
Lin Yi responded humbly.
"Ah, hahahaha... even though you're very smart, you still slightly surpass me," Kogoro Mouri said, while continuing to receive praise, and began to lose control of himself, feeling a little conceited.
"No wonder the great detective Kogoro Mouri is so amazing, even his assistant is so impressive. It's no surprise he can solve murder cases over and over with the police," Takashi Matsuo complimented Kogoro Mouri again.
Then, he glanced at Okino Yoko and signaled her to bring out the last important question.
Receiving the signal, Okino Yoko turned to Kogoro Mouri and said, "Mr. Mouri, you're really amazing!"
"These logical questions are nothing."
Kogoro Mouri waved his hand, downplaying it: "What I'm really good at is solving murder cases."
"Ah, yes?" Okino Yoko smiled radiantly and said, "I just prepared a reasoning question about a murder case."
"Tatatatán! Here comes the murder question!" Okino Yoko pulled out a board from her side.
Kogoro Mouri smiled, but his expression began to harden. He realized he had spoken too soon, and now the thing he feared was coming.
He solved murder cases... but in which case was it not with Lin Yi's help?
When he did it on his own, he didn't even understand how the murder had been committed.
Excited, Okino Yoko looked at the camera... actually, she was looking at Lin Yi and smiled while saying: "The image shows a reunion of former high school classmates, with freshly prepared food still steaming. Friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time gather to talk about life."
"The warm scene is interrupted by a sudden storm, torrential rain, thunder and lightning, and the sound of conversations is drowned out by the roar of the storm."
"Miss B spills coffee on Miss A's clothes, who goes to the bedroom to change, while Miss B goes to the bathroom to clean up."
"Suddenly, a lightning bolt lights up the sky, the room goes dark, and the sound of a scream comes from Miss C. Miss A and Miss B start screaming as well."
"Mr. D tells them that the fuse has probably burned out and goes out to fix it in the rain. In the room, only the sound of Mr. E cooking can be heard. After a while, the lights come back on, Mr. D returns, the food is almost ready, but at that moment, they discover that Miss A is dead in the bedroom."
"Who did it?"
Who killed Miss A?
Identifications! Miss A and Miss B are actresses, Miss C is a news presenter, Mr. D is the owner of an entertainment company, and Mr. E is a top chef.
"Ah... this question."
Takashi Matsuo hit the image board and said, "When the program editor gave me this question, I spent two hours trying to solve it."
"Mr. Mouri, as a detective, how long do you think it would take you to figure out who the murderer is?"
Kogoro Mouri looked at the image board and then directed his gaze to Lin Yi, behind the camera. Lin Yi nodded and with a gesture of his hand indicated the answer: the letter "C."
Kogoro Mouri didn't respond immediately, but said: "Mm... I think I would need two minutes."
"Two minutes?" Takashi Matsuo couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Mouri, although you solved the previous two questions quickly, I think you're slightly overestimating your abilities."
"We must remember that logic and solving murder cases are two completely different things."
"Hehehe." Kogoro Mouri smiled: "Mr. Matsuo, actually I already know who the murderer is... but, for the sake of your ego, I have to pretend to think for a bit."
From the stands, Lin Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Wow, it seems like no one needs to teach him how to show off; it looks like it's built in.
