Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 212 Ridiculous Little Game
The original "Turtle Soup" story goes like this.

A man heard that a restaurant made sea turtle soup very delicious, so he went to order a bowl of it. Unexpectedly, he committed suicide just after taking a sip. Why?
The story of "Sea Turtle Soup" is so short, absurd and unbelievable. Xinfang Xiafeng asked Kindaichiji to ask questions with excitement.

Facing such an absurd story, Kindaichiji was somewhat curious.

"Is this person mentally ill?"

"No."

"Drugged in the turtle soup?"

"No."

After ruling out the two simplest answers, Kindaichiji instinctively began to analyze logically.

When does a person commit suicide?

Feeling hopeless about life, full of guilt, coerced by someone, in order to achieve a certain purpose.

If someone is coercing it, it would be unreasonable in the public, and under this possibility, sea turtle soup, a necessary element in the story, seems very tasteless, because sea turtle soup itself is not threatening, and it is not poisonous.

If it was to achieve a certain purpose, such as extortion, then why did he commit suicide? Wouldn't it be good to give himself some medicine?

Anyway, Kinda asked the elements of the guess one by one, and although he didn't get the correct answer, he confirmed a correct direction.

The man felt guilty, so he committed suicide.

But Kindaichi couldn't imagine what kind of guilt and pity for wild animals can be caused by drinking sea turtle soup?No killing without buying and selling?
None of this is right.

In the end, Xinfang Xiafeng announced the final answer with a look of disappointment.

That person was in a shipwreck with his lover a few years ago. Although he survived by luck, he almost starved to death without living supplies.At the most critical moment, the lover made him a bowl of turtle soup, saying that the turtle meat in it was hunted from the sea.

He survived in the end, but his lover was not so lucky.

The bowl of turtle soup that saved the man's life was so delicious that he would never forget it. One day after he was rescued, he learned that a restaurant served turtle soup and decided to go there to savor the taste of turtle soup.

However, after he took a sip, he found that the soup in his mouth was completely different from the taste in his memory.

It was at this moment that the man realized one thing: the turtle soup he drank when he was killed was actually his lover who later died of weakness. In order to give him a chance to survive, he cut off his own flesh to cook the soup. feed him.

Having figured this out, he chose to commit suicide with guilt.

······
That's it! ?
Kindaichi didn't think that there was such a cruel story behind this story, and he also didn't understand why this person would choose to end his lover's sacrifice of his hard-earned life after realizing the truth, instead of being grateful and respectful live well.

This was completely beyond the scope of Kindaichiji's comprehension. He felt that this answer was more absurd than a riddle, and it might as well be that this person is a psychopath!
The novice Xia Feng was a little disappointed that Jin Tianyi Er could not answer the answer, and his enthusiasm was lost by half in an instant.

As if a little unwilling, he insisted on playing "Turtle Soup" again with a different story, regardless of the dinner time that was getting closer.

The guest can do whatever he wants, besides, Kindaichiji is not reconciled, he always feels a little shy that he didn't get the correct answer just now.

This time the characters in the story are a couple.

They were racing on the road in the middle of the night, and an accident happened, and the car suddenly blew out on the way.

Although neither of them had an accident, the husband had no choice but to get out of the car and ask for help because he did not have a spare tire.

To ensure safety, he asked his wife to lock the doors and windows of the car and not open them unless her husband came over.

The husband quickly found help and returned to the car, but at this time he saw his wife lying in blood through the car window, and a naked stranger appeared beside her.

The windows and doors are well locked, why is this happening?

After Xinfang Xiafeng finished telling the story, he looked expectantly and nervously at Kindaichiji, as if he hoped that he could crack this little game more than himself.

Kindaichi pondered for a while and immediately grasped the key point of this story.

When most people see this story, their first reaction is that someone hacked into the vehicle and raped their wife.

The core of the story's doubts is how the stranger appeared in the car with the doors and windows locked.

There was no sign of outside intrusion, and the wife certainly wouldn't open the door to a naked stranger. How did a stranger get in?
And if the stranger has the ability to go in, why doesn't he leave afterwards?

Kindaichiji combined some doubts in the context, couples, midnight racing, blood stains, naked, strangers...
He was suddenly blessed, and he figured it out in an instant.

Kindaichiji didn't ask a single question, and directly gave the answer he thought of.

"The wife was pregnant, probably due to premature labor or tire inflation, so the husband drove her to the hospital in the middle of the night. After the tire burst, the husband left to ask for help. During this time, the wife gave birth to the child. The stranger was actually him. child?"

"Congratulations! You got the answer right!" Xinfang Xia Feng looked a hundred times happier than Jintian Yier: "You really deserve to be a great detective, and you know the correct answer without asking a single question!"

The new house, Xia Feng, seemed satisfied, and once again praised him ferociously.

Kindaichiji's sense of pride just now was overwhelmed by embarrassment in an instant.

Fortunately, Xinfang Xiafeng seemed satisfied, instead of continuing to play this little game, he rang the bell and called Serizawa's housekeeper who had been waiting outside.

It turned out that it was time for dinner.

Xia Feng, the new house, affectionately put his arm around Kinda Kazuo's shoulders and walked to the restaurant. As he walked, he introduced the special features of this villa. Along the way, the servants lined up in two rows to welcome them. After seeing them, they all bowed and saluted, instantly letting this person know. The seemingly ordinary old man possessed a kind of nobility and seemed particularly dignified, but this also made both Kindaichi and Kazuya a little uncomfortable.

He is very unaccustomed to this unequal way of getting along with each other. Suzuki's family is so rich, and he has never seen such a scene in their family!
Sure enough, no matter how ordinary and close to the people the capitalists are on the surface, they still like to squeeze the working people in essence.

Are you considered a working people?
It should be counted, so Kindaichiji's mood is even worse.

The distance between the dining room and the reception room is not far, and they arrived in a short while.

"Master, everyone is here." An older maid bowed and said.

"Okay, order me down, let's start the banquet." Xinfang Xia Feng waved his hand lightly.
