Chapter 294: Tips at 0 o'clock

Not long after Conan and the others set off, Lingshi also came out with his eyes closed. Relying on the route map placed in his brain by the system, he safely walked out of the room and came to the living room.

Huang Quan looked over and saw nothing unexpected.

"You're going out before you wake up?"

At zero o'clock, I nodded dazedly.

"The car is here, I'll go down and continue sleeping."

Huang Quan didn't say anything else. He went down at midnight and directly drilled into the blind spot of the surveillance to teleport, and directly led most of Conan and the others to today's destination, Tanyuan Mountain.

Of course he didn't register. He had already gone into the mountains. He yawned at midnight and fell asleep on a tree branch. Conan and the others didn't know when he would get up.

System: The host has finally fallen. He can use the points item without blinking an eye just to get more sleep.

Rather than saying he didn't blink, the correct answer would be that he didn't even open his eyes at midnight.

Midnight: What should I do? I went to scout the location last night and slept two hours less. I am so sleepy. I am old and not a young man anymore.

System: System Mall Tonic Pills...

Midnight: Shut up.

Zero Hour made up for the sleep he had missed as he wished. After Conan and the others entered the mountain, the system woke him up. Zero Hour yawned and shook his head to wake up.

When I saw Ling Cheng and the others passing that dangerous cliff and saw that thrilling scene, I finally felt that those guys were too relaxed.

Zero Hour: Make it harder for them.

Lingshi took out a dagger, and the system guessed in disbelief:

Hey, host, you don’t mean...

Zero Hour: Didn’t they say that Silver Fox plays with flying knives? I might as well try it and see if it’s fun.

Lingshi threw the flying knife straight towards Ling Cheng, and it just brushed past his face, but Ling Cheng actually noticed it and dodged away.

Lingshi sighed, but when he saw Ling Cheng and the others' actions later, he realized that he seemed to have used too much force. Oops, he should go and collect it later.

Lingshi jumped off the branch, brushed off the leaves on his body, and then walked forward. Compared to taking the prescribed route like Ling Cheng and the others, Lingshi said that the straight line between the two points was the shortest distance.

Choose to climb up directly without any safety measures,

System: Host, please be careful, you don’t have this skill.

Zero Hour: I think it’s possible, give me the grappling hook.

The system had no choice but to drag out the rope from the bushes where things had been placed in advance, took it over at zero time and started waving it, then stretched out his hand and threw the hook up.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The rope did not hook the stone as Lingshi had expected. The system laughed at him secretly. Lingshi retracted the rope and threw it again. This time, it finally succeeded.

I climbed up holding the rope at zero time. It should be said that this is not only a technical job, but also a physical job. I wanted to give up halfway through the climb.

System: So why don’t we just jump through space?

Zero Hour: No, I don’t have the spare points. Besides, I can just do some rock climbing as exercise.

After great effort, Lingshi finally climbed up, just as he had planned. Lingshi looked at the time and started counting. Soon after, he saw a person on top retreating and falling down.

Lingshi pounced and sent the man rolling down. The noise was too loud and the people above probably didn't have time to come down to check, so Lingshi directly threw the man's head up.

Then he carried the person, grabbed the rope and swung over to land at another landing point. The person he caught was probably too frightened and fainted directly, which saved him the trouble of temporary physical hypnosis.

Voices were soon heard from above. It seemed that Conan and his friends had arrived. Lingshi could only pull up some tree branches from the side and pile them up to block the view of the two of them and confuse them.

System: Fortunately, I came here last night to scout the location and prepare these, host.

Midnight: It’s never too late to praise it if it can be used in the future.

Above, Ling Cheng, Conan and others heard the noise and ran to the edge of the cliff, only to see a hat left on it and a knife that they discovered after looking carefully.

Everyone who heard the shout came over and asked why they didn't see Mr. Hirai. Conan pointed at the hat below and said:

"Um, that's Hirai-san's hat, right?"

Everyone looked over and immediately realized that something was wrong, as well as that possibility. At Conan's reminder, Maori Kogoro went down to check, and Conan and Ling Cheng also slid down.

Maori Kogoro: "Why did you two come down here? Don't just wander around."

"Ah."

Conan responded, and Ling Cheng was blinded by a reflected light. He then walked in that direction and found that there was a knife hidden by the grass.

Conan also saw it and told Maori Kogoro directly,

"There's a knife, and there's a little blood on it."

"What? There's a knife. Could it be Silver Fox again..."

Conan walked over and looked at the bottom of the cliff. There were fresh traces of the original stones being rubbed off, and the grass on the side had signs of being bent and scratched.

Lingshi: Ah, I did it.

Maori: "Hey, Conan, I told you to stop wandering around. Come back. It's too dangerous."

Conan stepped back and pointed at the traces and said to Maori Kogoro:

"Uncle, Brother Hirai must have fallen down."

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri frowned and leaned closer to take a look. Indeed, these traces were just as Conan said.

Maori Kogoro: "That means he accidentally slipped while trying to break the knife thrown by the murderer, fell down the cliff and rolled down again."

After Maori Kogoro finished reasoning about what happened, Nose immediately took over.

"Then this is a murder case."

After Ushio ruled out Hirai as the Silver Fox, he immediately shouted at Nose:

"Tell me, where have you been just now!?"

Nengshi innocently said:

"I'm right here."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

As he spoke, Chao started to move his hands excitedly. Neng Shi dodged by stepping back lightly. Ling Cheng frowned. This client had been too emotional since just now.

This doesn't sound like what he said, finding Silver Fox and asking her to stop killing him. Instead, it sounds like...

At this time, Ling Cheng's cell phone rang. It was an email. Ling Cheng took it out and looked at it. It was indeed sent at midnight, but what was written on it?

Midnight: "I cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because I am already in it."

Ling Cheng: ...I'll punch you!

Then another one came at midnight,

"There's not only the yellow-throated marten among the crowd, but also the farmer whose chickens were taken away by a fox."

Ling Cheng: "Speak human language."

Lingshi didn't reply. Ling Cheng held his forehead and cursed, but he didn't know that his words had already fallen into the ears of the person involved.

Zero Hour: I won’t say it directly, I’ll just be a riddle teller.

Anyway, when the contract was signed, it only said that I could help provide information, but it didn't say in what way. He is also saying that he is providing it now. If we unlock them, won't we get the information?

System: As expected of the host, you are really good at finding loopholes!

Zero Hour: Shh, shh, shh! This is called wisdom, not exploiting loopholes!
