The program recording started quickly.
The first segment was an introduction to Kogoro Mouri's identity, saying when he assisted the police in solving murder cases.
This was to give the audience a certain understanding of Kogoro Mouri.
Secondly, Kogoro Mouri popularized some detective knowledge.
Kogoro Mouri had no problem with this aspect, after all, to obtain a license to open a detective agency, one had to have excellent professional skills, otherwise they would be eliminated in the written test.
The main MC, Takashi Matsuo, said with a smile, "It can be seen that Mr. Mouri is a very outstanding detective."
"Not at all, I'm just an ordinary detective."
Thinking that he would appear on television, Kogoro Mouri became very modest.
"Whether you are an ordinary detective or not, you will know after trying... The program team has carefully prepared several simple reasoning questions for you."
As he spoke, Takashi Matsuo took out a large card and said, "This is a very simple reasoning question."
"A lock has a three-digit password. Can you deduce the correct password based on five known conditions?"
"682, among the three numbers, one number is correct, and the position is correct."
"614, one number is correct, but the position is incorrect."
"206, two numbers are correct, but the positions are incorrect."
"738, no number is correct."
"870, one number is correct, but the position is incorrect."
"Friends in the audience, come and deduce, what is this three-digit password?"
Kogoro Mouri frowned immediately upon seeing these questions. He wasn't very good at logic-based reasoning problems, but if he were to seriously deduce it, he would definitely be able to figure out the three-digit password.
It's just that, if it takes too much time, it wouldn't quite match his title of famous detective.
So, Kogoro Mouri glanced at Lin Yi.
After receiving the signal, Lin Yi immediately covered his mouth with his hand and quickly gestured the three numbers 042.
After receiving the signal, Kogoro Mouri slowly nodded.
So, he picked up the pen and quickly wrote 042 on the answer sheet.
Takashi Matsuo captured Kogoro Mouri's action. He said in a slightly surprised tone, "Oh? Mr. Mouri, do you already know the answer?"
"No way?"
Yoko Okino looked at Kogoro Mouri in disbelief, her tone extremely surprised: "I just finished reading one condition, and you've already answered it?"
Kogoro Mouri complacently straightened his clothes and said with a raised corner of his mouth: "It's just simple logical reasoning, it's not a big deal. I believe that any professional detective can do the same as me, quickly derive the answer through known conditions."
"Then please, Mr. Mouri, let us see what your correct answer is!" Takashi Matsuo said curiously.
"The answer is 042!"
Kogoro Mouri turned over his answer sheet. Although he was very confident on the surface, he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
If Lin Yi made a mistake, then he would be embarrassed.
However, Lin Yi's performance during this period made Kogoro Mouri choose to believe him.
"Oh? 042? Is it the correct answer? Let's take a look!" Takashi Matsuo said, tearing off the cloth covering the answer on the board.
Written on it was impressively 042.
"Wow~ Mr. Mouri got it right!"
Takashi Matsuo was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Kogoro Mouri to really get it right.
Yoko Okino, the audience, and the filming staff couldn't help but exclaim.
In this burst of "Sugoi" exclamations, Kogoro Mouri gradually lost himself, and his smile began to change, developing in a lecherous direction.
"It's really amazing!"
Takashi Matsuo exclaimed: "I didn't expect Mr. Mouri to come up with the answer within ten seconds of seeing the question. As expected of a famous detective who can assist the police in solving murder cases!"
"You're exaggerating too much." Kogoro Mouri said with a smile he couldn't take back: "It's just a simple reasoning problem, it's nothing."
Yoko Okino asked: "Mr. Mouri, can you tell us how you reasoned it out? I believe there are still audience members who are as confused as I am."
"Actually, it's not difficult. I believe everyone can figure it out if they spend some time."
Kogoro Mouri said modestly.
"Miss Okino, Mr. Matsuo, may I let my assistant answer this question?"
Kogoro Mouri said with a smile: "Because on the way here, he kept talking in the car, saying that his reasoning ability is also very strong, complaining about why you didn't send him an invitation."
Since Kogoro Mouri knew the answer, then he must know the reasoning process.
Kogoro Mouri's record was enough to make everyone present think so.
"Oh? Is that so?" Takashi Matsuo immediately said curiously: "Then of course... May I ask, who is your assistant?"
Seeing Takashi Matsuo agree, Kogoro Mouri immediately breathed a sigh of relief and decisively raised his hand to point at Lin Yi.
"That's him."
The camera locked on Lin Yi.
Takashi Matsuo said with a smile: "Oh? I didn't expect Detective Mouri's assistant to be a handsome guy. Please give him a microphone."
A staff member quickly sent a spare microphone to Lin Yi's hand.
"May I ask, what's your name?" Takashi Matsuo said.
"Lin Yi."
"Assistant Lin, Mr. Mouri wants to give you a test, to explain the reasoning process, can you do it?" Takashi Matsuo asked.
"Um... I should be able to."
"Since that's the case, then please reason out how you got the password of these three numbers, 042," Takashi Matsuo said.
Lin Yi said: "Just as Mr. Mouri said, this question is just simple logical reasoning."
"738, no number is correct. We can eliminate the numbers 3, 7, and 8."
"870, one number is correct, but the position is incorrect, we can determine that one number is 0. At this time, we can get two passwords: 0XX, or X0X."
"682, in the three numbers, one number is correct, and the position is correct. We can get two passwords: 6XX, XX2."
"614, one number is correct, but the position is incorrect. We can clearly eliminate the number 6. Then we can get the password 0X2, X02."
"206, two numbers are correct, but the positions are incorrect. Here we can determine the position of 0, which is in the first place."
"And 1 does not meet the condition of correct displacement, so it is excluded."
"The final answer is 042."
