Watch the movie supporting role replacement, the doctor is back to health

But he thought about it again, that's right! Xia Shi, who had not fully communicated with Natsuki Subaru, had an overwhelming lack of information.

This is just like how Xia Shi showed his momentum to crush Conan's IQ through the information gap just now. The confrontation between smart people is not just about reasoning and designing, the ability to collect and distinguish clues is also very important.

[Chishou, this is the information I got from Natsuki. ]

Conan briefly told her what he knew. Xia Shi could understand why he did it, but her conclusion would not change because of these things.

[Conan is like a detective~]

[Hmph~. To be honest, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi in Japan—that’s me! ]

Conan was very proud to be able to brag about his past glory in front of an opponent he recognized. Xia Shi smiled and said:

[Amazing~, Conan-kun is a famous detective~. But for this reason, Conan-kun is used to combining clues and motives when deducing things, right? ]

【Isn’t that what you do?】

Conan was a little confused.

In his world, detective is synonymous with smart people.

Even though Uncle Mori is like that in his normal state, as long as the name "Sleeping Kogoro" is mentioned, everyone, whether they are chaebol politicians or celebrity contestants, will give him face, and if they encounter a mystery that they cannot solve, they will subconsciously look for him, the famous detective.

The detective's thinking logic is like this - clues serve as the basis for inference, and motivation accelerates the conclusion of inference.

This clue does not necessarily have to be physical evidence. As long as it is something you observe yourself and is a suspicious object, it can be considered a clue.

Motivation is not necessarily the cause that prompts someone to do something. In a broad sense, the most likely cause for something to happen or for a certain result to be discovered can be considered a motivation.

With the two most powerful weapons, "motive" and "clues", plus the famous reasoning that embodies the detective's intelligence and wisdom, this formula can not only be used to solve cases, but can also be applied to anything that people may encounter.

For example, the mini-game that Conan usually uses to relieve boredom, which involves guessing a person's occupation by observing details on him, is based on this principle.

Xia Shi shook his head.

[Looking for clues and reasoning about motives will be slow when encountering some urgent matters. ]

[——There is no other way.]

The police cannot arrest a criminal before a crime occurs, and a citizen cannot be called a criminal before he breaks the law.

How to break the logic of time and space?

[If an emergency occurs, you only need to follow your instincts and morals at that time - we are not discussing this topic, are we? ]

[Sometimes, actions based on instinct and morality will run counter to the results you expect. Sometimes, some people often encounter situations where they must choose between instinct and the results they expect.]

【you……】

[So, in order to make a quick judgment at the most critical moment, when reasoning and clues are not available in time, sometimes you need to rely on something more emotional and intuitive.]

【That is unreliable.】

【Maybe that’s the case.】

Xia Shi had no intention of refutation. [What is intuition? The instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm? The consciousness reprocessing the information collected by the five senses? The super senses from the soul dimension? The brain's chaotic calculation of fragmented information combined with past experience? ]

[Excluding these abstract definitions, the term "temperament" may be more appropriate. ]

[Are you trying to say... that you use a person's temperament to judge his or her ability or even his or her true character? ]

Conan said it was too chaotic, but Xia Shi nodded.

[Everyone has his or her own unique temperament. The more confident a person is, the more unique their temperament is. Conan-kun can also regard this method of judgment as a kind of reasoning, but the people who use this kind of reasoning have a different way of collecting clues than usual.]

[So, you use temperament to infer that Padu is the person who can help us the most in what we are doing, right?]

【Yes. 】

【why? 】

Strong fighting ability or a smarter mind than the two of them, or magic and protection? Alchemy can still summon something.

What was it about Paduo that made Xia Shi make such an inference?

【Combat power.】

166

Chapter 166: Qin Li’s transformation.

[Sister Paduo’s fighting power should be beyond our imagination. I have never seen anyone with the same temperament as Sister Paduo... That temperament gives people a feeling, perhaps——]

Perhaps it is similar to the protogastric animals in stage 30, and the police combination in the top ?

With Xia Shi's knowledge, the strongest combat power she could imagine was of this level.

And she also had a hunch: Padu's fighting ability might be beyond her current imagination.

Padofelius: Hey, look at what you said, as if I'm some great person. I'm the weakest fusion warrior, I don't have the power like Kevin and Jie~

Mebius: The weakest fusion warrior is still a fusion warrior. Or, little Padu, are you dissatisfied with the effect of the super-transformation surgery that I led to develop?

Padofelius: No, no, no, no! How could we be dissatisfied with Snake's skills? Absolutely not!

Mebius: Hehehe~∩_∩

Conan really couldn't believe that Padu was such a strong man with fighting power beyond imagination.

This is not because he does not dare to believe the answer, but when this answer is the result deduced by others based on "intuition", this answer itself seems unreliable to Conan.

But it doesn't matter whether Paddo is strong or weak, because in his plan, Paddo exists as an unexpected factor.

So he only needs to ensure that Pado's existence does not have a negative impact on his plan. On this basis, he clearly obtains Xia Shi as his helper. This test action is already a complete success for him.

After developing Xia Shi into a helper, Conan decided to stop there. Any action taken during the day would increase the possibility of being exposed.

It was okay when it was just him and Xia Shi. After all, they were two kids aged 10 or under together, and that scene just made people feel warm.

Few people would think that two children who are not even as tall as his waist would come up with some conspiracy, right?

But when this scene repeats, or the person in this scene becomes Kotori or Rosemary, the possibility of them being suspected will increase.

It was only their second day at the mansion, and their most important task was to try not to arouse suspicion.

I hope everything goes well for Caiyue.

Conan was looking forward to it in his heart.

And things are indeed going very smoothly with Natsuki Subaru.

Beatrice is a tsundere but kind-hearted elf, which Subaru Natsuki knows very well. As long as he makes a sincere request to her and the request does not touch her bottom line, Beatrice is likely to agree.

However, before she agreed, she flipped through a book for a long time with a nervous look on her face. After that, although she agreed to Natsuki Subaru's request for help, her face was cold.

Natsuki Subaru told Conan every detail of his time with Beatrice.

This is Conan's request. For him, some small details that ordinary people may not notice can often become important basis for reasoning, just like Subaru's action of turning the book, which he found strange but didn't pay much attention to. Conan secretly kept it in mind.

What should we do next?

It's dinner time now. Subaru takes the opportunity to exchange information with Conan while delivering meals to the children. However, after Subaru exaggerated the situation on his side, there is not much time left for the two of them.

[In the evening, we gathered for the same reason as yesterday. I told everyone that I had something to say tonight.]

[Won't this arouse Rem and the others' suspicion? ]

[After arriving in a new environment, it is very normal for people who know each other to stick together for warmth. If this normal behavior is regarded as evidence of ill intentions, then no matter how well we do on the surface, the final result will be like you in the last round, being chased by Rem with a meteor hammer~]

[Please don’t say that——]

Natsuki Subaru made a painful face.

[I mean, after we understand our situation, how should we describe it? Showdown? From what you said, if Padu is also very powerful, then we have three powerful cards, Padu, Rosemary, and Goblin Slayer, and Kotori's hidden card of unknown rarity. Shouldn't that be enough to express our position?]

[It’s best not to. ]

Conan stretched out his finger, and then put it down. [In any case, the use of force is the last resort, and it is something to be considered only when there is really no other way.]

Conan looked at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. [After all, this isn't some hot-blooded comic book worldview. The more serious the fight, the deeper the relationship.]

[The famous detective also likes to read passionate comics~]

【Famous detectives also had childhoods. 】

Although the things he liked in his childhood were somewhat different from those of ordinary little boys, Conan was not interested in special effects cartoons in which the protagonists could ignore the rules of logic and physics and turn danger into safety by shouting love and justice.

[Okay, see you tonight. If we continue talking, it will make people suspicious.]

[Our group?]

Natsuki Subaru pointed at Conan and then pointed at himself. He really couldn't think of anything that would make people suspicious of the combination of the two of them.

[Don't forget, the beast master you described, her age, at least in appearance, looks about the same as mine and Beatrice, right?]

[…That’s right~]

Natsuki Subaru blinked.

Although he didn't know whether the little loli with purple hair who was the beast master was a real child or an old loli woman, he understood that the appearance of this world was not accurate to a certain extent.

Many foreigners say that Japanese people look young, but when he looked at Remram, he felt that she seemed younger than himself, let alone a 400-year-old loli like Beatrice.

Time quickly came to evening, and with the foundation of last night's visiting activities, Natsuki Subaru's application to come to Paddy's room was smoother this time.

Rem left soon after, just like yesterday. Natsuki Subaru chatted with everyone for a while, numb the spirits of the possible surveillance personnel, and said with a smile:

[I want to ask for your help. Please listen to me. This mansion is likely to be attacked by dangerous people in the next few days! Can you give me some advice? ]

I'm sure you'll all be confused when I suddenly mention this, right?

Natsuki Subaru noticed that the atmosphere became a little cold after he made his request. He thought it was because his words were too sudden and strange.

However, after looking around, Conan and Natsuyo, as people who knew the truth, looked calm as expected, but Rosemary - seemed absent-minded the whole time, and Subaru was not sure if she heard what he said.

Paddo stared around with curious eyes, and seemed to be not nervous at all. Only Kotori's expression was particularly to Subaru's liking. She was trembling with nervousness, just like an ordinary little girl - combined with the figure who burned everything in the previous episode, maybe Kotori's reaction was what Subaru Natsuki could not accept the most.

[You said this mansion will be attacked? ]

【Ah, that's it.】

The first person to ask was Kotori!

Damn it! It's too ordinary, but Natsuki Subaru feels unwilling!

[Then, wouldn't it be a good idea to tell the people in the mansion about this? ]

[Not good. Because we might be suspected of being in the same group as the people who attacked the mansion.]

[If that’s the case… what should I do~]

Kotori's delicate voice sounded as if she was about to cry. Natsuki Subaru really didn't know what expression he should make.

Where's the Fire Demon? !

Where's that terrible look of yours that can destroy the world, that sadistic expression that scares even bad guys? Show it out!

This womanly expression is not at all...

Natsuki Subaru acknowledged the strange feeling in his heart and was about to speak, but suddenly he noticed that Kotori's two hands were raised uncontrollably.

Kotori untied the hair tie with her hands and then tied it again.

Natsuki Subaru didn't know why Kotori suddenly did this, but he noticed that the originally white ribbon turned black after being turned over.

…Just like that, Kotori’s voice and expression suddenly became like a different person.

She relaxed like a boss in a yakuza movie. Her legs, which were originally together when she was sitting on the edge of Padre's bed, were now crossed up and down. With one hand supporting the bed, her short stature made her look more than two meters tall.

[Please continue what you just said. It sounds very interesting.]

167

Chapter 167 Edogawa Kongming.

【Kotori——? ! 】

Natsuki Subaru called out tentatively, startled by Kotori's sudden change in attitude.

The experience of being burned to death by Kotori in the flame demon form not long ago made him subconsciously regard the Kotori in front of him as the boss whose identity was exposed in the animation. According to this logic, what will happen next is that the angry boss will go on a killing spree?

Natsuki Subaru quietly took a step back, and Kotori narrowed her eyes, recalling the details she had noticed before, and her eyes darkened slightly. She wanted to say something, but she shouldn't show weakness to anyone in "Commander Mode".

Apologize……
