Li Xu waved his hand. "I'm more curious. Which one of you likes to read these mystery novels?"
"These books are …"
"Wait, don't tell me." Li Xu suddenly interrupted Kim Minna and said pretentiously, "I'm a professional who has read a lot of mystery novels. You don't need to tell me the answer. I can deduce it myself."
Kim Minna looked suspicious. "Really?"
"Hmph, just wait for me to shout 666." Li Xu was very confident.
The first step of deduction was, of course, to collect as much information as possible.
Li Xu flipped through the pages. Many of the pages had creases, and some of the pages were even marked with a signature pen. It seemed that they were often read.
The few words were very beautiful. Li Xu had never seen the two women's handwriting, so he couldn't judge. He then pulled out the second book.
This was "The Daka Murder Case" by Edo Edo Rampo. He flipped through it casually, but there was no more information. However, Li Xu saw a transparent grease mark on the back.
"I found a clue."
Li Xu smiled at Kim Minna proudly. He sniffed the grease mark and said confidently, "This transparent grease has no smell. This should be nail polish."
Kim Minna raised her eyebrows and didn't comment.
"This book can be read horizontally. The person reading the book must be not paying attention and painting their nails while reading."
Li Xu was more and more certain of his guess. "Now, I just need to see which one of you is wearing this transparent nail polish to find the murderer."
Kim Minna said expressionlessly, "You guessed wrong."
Li Xu was not convinced. "I must be right. You want to deny it. Did you put the nail polish on?"
After that, Li Xu directly grabbed Kim Minna's hand.
Kim Minna was caught off guard by Li Xu.
Li Xu placed Kim Minna's hand in front of his eyes. Hmm … Kim Minna's hand was very beautiful. Her fingers were slender, her skin was smooth, and as white as jade.
However, Kim Minna's fingernails were not painted.
"It doesn't make sense. Could it be Miss Zhixian's nail polish?"
Li Xu looked at them carefully again and pinched Kim Minna's fingernails.
Kim Minna's fingernails were very short and very neatly trimmed. They were exactly the same as they were before, crystal clear and sparkling.
Feeling the warmth from his skin, Kim Minna did not struggle. She glanced at Li Xu. "Are you done?"
"Ah!" Li Xu quickly let go of Kim Minna's hand, but he added, "Your hand is so beautiful."
"Thank you." Kim Minna said casually. "I will be responsible for telling you that Sister Zhixian and I do not have that color of nail polish. Also, that mark is not nail polish. That mark is made by fish liver oil."
"Really?" Li Xu was not discouraged. "Let me see if I can find any clues."
Li Xu continued to flip through the pages of the book. When he finished flipping through the pages, he suddenly stopped.
"Look at what I found."
A long strand of hair was caught in the middle of the pages. Li Xu pinched the strand of hair in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. He used his hand to pull it gently, but he did not manage to break it.
Li Xu started to analyze: "This strand of black hair is very shiny and strong. I can see that the owner's hair is very good."
Li Xu finished and sniffed the strand of hair. "Hmm … there is no smell, and I can't tell what kind of shampoo this is."
"Can you not do that?" Kim Minna rolled her eyes.
Li Xu had a serious look on his face. "We are in the field of deduction, and we need to have a spirit that is not afraid of dirt or death."
"So …" Kim Minna raised her beautiful eyebrows. "What conclusion can you draw?"
"I can draw …"
Li Xu was stunned. That's right. Kim Minna and Kim Ji-hyun's hair were both black, and the length was about the same. How could he tell them apart?
"I can tell that the person reading the book is a woman."
Forced deduction was the most fatal.
Kim Minna: "Haha!"
Li Xu flipped through a few more books until he saw Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express." The large number of notes in the book suddenly gave him an idea. He felt that he had caught the key.
"I know. It's you, right? You like to read detective novels, "Li Xu said to Kim Minna with certainty.
"Oh? Tell me the reason. "
Kim Minna wanted to see if Li Xu had any other nonsensical explanation.
"The key is still the nails." Li Xu was confident. "But it's not the nail polish. Look at the notes in this book. There are too many words."
"I've seen Miss Kim Ji-hyun's fingers. Her nails are very beautiful, but they are a little too long. It's not suitable for her to write so many words in one go. So these are your notes, right?"
Kim Minna smiled. "You're right."
"Haha! I told you that I can analyze it. I'm a professional. "
Li Xu was very happy. He felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
"Meow!"
Ever since Kim Minna entered the room, Orange had been staring at the small rice bowl in Kim Minna's hand. When it saw that Kim Minna was ignoring it and playing a detective game with Li Xu, it didn't care about the little goldfish anymore. It stood by the desk and called out to Kim Minna.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Orange. I forgot about you. "Kim Minna just remembered that she was feeding the little orange cat.
Li Xu picked up the little orange cat and put it on the floor. Orange went to Kim Minna's feet and rubbed its little head against Kim Minna's leg.
"Orange looks like you're hungry. Come and eat."
Jin Minna placed Orange's small rice bowl on the ground. The little orange cat dove into the rice bowl that was even bigger than its head and started eating in big mouthfuls. Its little butt was facing Li Jiu, and its tail was wagging as it ate happily.
"It smells so good!" Li Xu saw that Orange looked like she wanted to bury herself in the bowl. He subconsciously reached out and picked up a piece of cat food from the bowl beside Orange's mouth. He looked at it carefully.
The cat food was in the shape of a ring. Li Xu smelled it and it emitted a milky fragrance. It looked delicious.
Li Jiu casually placed the cat food into his mouth.
Orange didn't care about eating anymore. She looked up at Li Xu and couldn't close her mouth.
Why is this person so shameless? He even wants to steal my cat food.
"It tastes so average!" Li Xu smacked his lips.
Jin Minna was dumbfounded. "Why are you stealing Tangerine's food?"
"Can you eat cat food? What if you get a stomachache? "
"If you're hungry, tell me. I'll get you something to eat first."
Kim Minna looked at Li Xu bitterly. Her little mouth kept talking non-stop.
"Hehe!"
Li Xu laughed. This was the first time he saw Kim Minna like this.
"You're still laughing!"
