Conan Rick's Investigator

Inspector Megure said with a puzzled look on his face: Did I miss something?

After asking people around me about the whole story, I learned that the case had already been solved by Brother Qin.

And this time, his good brother arrested two people at once to boost sales.

Yuji Shimazaki was convicted of harboring a criminal, and Taeko Mamegaki was convicted of intentional homicide.

As for the motive for the murder, it was because Douyuan was a bad girl in high school and accidentally let it slip that there were valuable high-end sacrificial utensils in the warehouse of the Beika Shrine.

Then, other bad people, led by Anxi, stole the sacrificial utensils.

As a result, the warehouse manager blamed himself so much that he hanged himself, which made Mameko feel guilty.

From then on, Douyuan Taeko turned over a new leaf and returned to school to study hard.

However, Anzai Morio used her past to blackmail her, asking her to find him a job and asking her for money.

Including Nachi Shingo, he met with Anzai Morio because he had evidence against him and was being blackmailed.

At first, Yuji Shimazaki had no idea that his fiancée was being blackmailed.

However, at the dinner party, she heard the male director say that Douyuan introduced Anzai Morio's job to her, and she became suspicious and followed Anzai Morio out.

Mamegaki Taeko cried and said that she only took the knife to scare Anxi, but Anxi suddenly rushed over angrily, and during the struggle, the knife somehow pierced Anxi's heart.

Inspector Megure, who had listened to the story at the scene of the murder, pulled up his hat and said sternly, "The specifics of what happened will be left to the prosecutor and the judge to decide."

Inspector Megure waved his hand and was about to call on his subordinates led by Takagi Shigeru to take the desperate couple to the police car.

But at this moment, Ran Mouri rushed up and grabbed Mamegaki Taeko's hand.

"Ms. Taeko! I believe you didn't mean to kill anyone."

"My mother, Eri Kisaki, is well-known in the legal world. I can ask her to defend you."

Looking at Xiaolan who recommended the undefeated queen of the legal world to defend the criminal at the murder scene, Inspector Megure looked helpless.

Hey, Xiaolan, don't do this...

However, no matter how helpless I am, I still have to praise my younger brother who has made great contributions to me.

"Brother? Brother!"

"I'm here!"

Kogoro Mouri leaped in front of Inspector Megure and saluted with a smile, but Inspector Megure shook his head.

"I mean, where is Brother Qin?"

"That guy..."

Hearing about the other brothers from Inspector Megure was like seeing Eri Kisaki walking with other men on the street, which made Kogoro Mouri very uncomfortable.

But Maori Kogoro still pointed in the direction of the hotel and said, "He just returned to the hotel with the lady he was traveling with."

……

On the other hand, Qin Zhibo did not stay at the scene specifically to wait for praise from Inspector Megure.

The side quest is shown as completed and the quest reward has been received, which is enough.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

[Task Completion Rating: A]

[Acquire 300 general skill proficiency]

[Get 120 social credits]

[Rating Reward: 300 General Skill Proficiency, 30 Social Credit]

Because the case was solved quickly enough and the criminal was made to kneel down and confess before "Inspector Megure arrived in an instant", Qin Zhibo received an A rating for the first time.

The starting point of the A rating is double the original skill proficiency reward.

Not only that, social credit also received some rewards for solving cases quickly.

In fact, from the time of Su Yu'an to now, Qin Zhibo has unknowingly mastered some tricks of using the investigation system flexibly.

At the beginning, Qin Zhibo had to find all the investigation points in almost every case and use "Xiao Hei" to recreate the scene to find evidence to prove the criminal.

But now, Qin Zhibo often doesn't need to go to the stage of reconstructing the scene to find out the murderer of the case.

Including this time, Qin Zhibo did not use scene reconstruction, but he knew where the decisive evidence that could prove that Douyuan Taeko committed murder was.

That was the bloody shirt that Mamugi Taeko was wearing when she killed someone.

As long as we recreate the scene and carefully observe "Xiao Hei's" movements, we will definitely be able to find the bloody shirt.

But in this case, Qin Zhibo would definitely miss the golden time to get an A-level evaluation because of tracking "Xiao Hei"'s movements.

So although the investigation system provides an almost stable means of solving cases, if you want to get high ratings, you still have to use your own brain.

In this regard, Qin Zhibo has already undergone a lot of training.

At this moment, Koizumi Hongzi, who was walking beside her, said calmly, "Actually, I believe that the woman named Douyuan didn't kill intentionally."

"Because I really didn't sense any murderous intent from her."

Murderous aura again...

Qin Zhibo's thinking expanded. If Koizumi Akako's sixth sense could really sense murderous intent, then wouldn't she be the real detective?

When you arrive at the crime scene and are faced with choosing one out of three or four criminals, can you find the murderer by simply pointing your finger?

The first person to solve a case using metaphysics?

Will the detective world have another debut gimmick?

However, when Qin Zhibo thought about it carefully, he found that someone had already used a similar gimmick.

I still remember that there was a news story about a soul detective published in the newspaper. It was said that this soul detective solved the case by means of spiritualism.

If witches are real, are soul detectives real too?

……

Back at the hotel, which was packed with guests not long ago, there were not many people left.

In the living room, agent Sakae Yamagishi was still comforting Yoko Okino, whose eyes were red from crying.

Because Yoko Okino was unable to move around easily, was in a bad mood, and was afraid of seeing a dead body, she stayed in the hotel with her agent.

Seeing Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi who came back first, the agent asked in surprise: "Why are you back so soon?"

"The case is solved, so of course I'll come back."

Qin Zhibo said calmly, perking up Yoko Nono a little, and asked, "Was it Mr. Maori who solved it? Who is the murderer?"

"I'm sorry, I solved the case. The murderer is Mamegaki Taeko."

Upon hearing this, Yoko Okino's eyes widened in shock.

"It turned out to be... Miss Taeko, how could it be?"

Yoko Okino had met Taeko Mamegaki on the set before and had a good impression of her.

Now the gentle girl with glasses has suddenly turned into a murderer, and Yoko Okino cannot accept it for a while.

The agent beside him said considerately, "Now that the case has been solved, Yoko, you should go back to your room and rest early."

The agent was about to leave with Yoko Okino when Qin Zhibo patted him on the shoulder.

The agent was a little puzzled, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Zhibo with a serious expression.

"I have something to tell you. Come to my room in an hour."

Chapter 143: Ex-Boyfriend's Sacrifice Ritual

"Hey! What do you want to do?"

In the room, Koizumi Hongzi was questioning Qin Zhibo.

"I can't let on that I have magical powers! Otherwise..."

It seemed as if Koizumi Akako had triggered the switch of PTSD, and the words in her mouth stopped abruptly.

"What else?"

Qin Zhibo tried to ask further, but Koizumi Hongzi looked nervous and did not give any answer.

Qin could only turn to comfort him: "You just need to stay behind the scenes and leave all the external work to me."

After hearing this, Koizumi Akako's resistance was not so strong.

Five minutes ago, Qin Zhibo suddenly had the idea of developing Okino Yoko into his own client.

Yoko Okino is cursed with death, which has caused her to be very unlucky recently, and even she can feel it.

In this case, can we use this to develop Yoko Okino into our client?

This way, you can not only make money from a popular female artist, but also save a life and develop your network. It is simply the best of all worlds.

Although Qin Zhibo now has several million yen from the last time he dealt with the Silver Fox, strictly speaking he is not short of money, but who would complain about having too much money?

Moreover, since Qin Zhibo's sense of time is different from that of other people in this world, he usually spends more money, so for Qin, the more money the better.

It seems like to everyone...

……

An hour later, Yoko Okino's agent, Eiichiro Yamagishi, knocked on Qin Zhibo's door on time.

Qin Zhibo invited Yamagishi Ei to sit down in the room. As soon as Yamagishi Eii's butt landed, he couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Excuse me, Mr. Qin, what can I do for you?"

The Yamagishi Eiji in front of him had a pointed face and looked especially unlike a good person when his eyes were wandering left and right.

But judging from his every move today, he is still very responsible as an artist agent.

So Qin Zhibo chose to believe him for the time being.

"Actually, I have something I want to ask you about Okino Yoko's recent situation."

"Miss Yoko?"

Yamagishi Ei's expression shifted slightly, and after hesitating for two seconds, he nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and ask."

"I heard she's been unlucky lately. Can you tell me exactly how unlucky she is?"

"This one……"

Yamagishi Ei hesitated.

After all, Yoko Okino is not an ordinary person, but a popular female artist who makes many people jealous.

Once the news that Yoko Okino has been having bad luck recently is obtained by someone with ulterior motives, they may use this to create public opinion and attack Yoko Okino.

At the dinner party, Yamagishi Ei already knew that Qin Zhibo was a private detective.

The profession of private detective is that if you pay, you can find out any privacy and information.

Seeing Yamagishi Ei hesitate, Qin Zhibo changed his words.

"Actually, Okino Yoko has been very unlucky lately, and it's not just bad luck."

"Excuse me, has anyone associated with Okino Yoko died recently?"

"And ever since this man died, Okino Yoko has started to have bad luck."

Qin Zhibo deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "unlucky" in order to make Yamagishi Eiji think of it as a curse.

If the word "curse" comes out of your own mouth, it will sound a bit weird and not so credible.

But if the other party thinks so, it would be completely different.

After Qin Zhibo's suggestion, Yamagishi Rong really thought in this direction.

Someone who was recently associated with Ms. Yoko and died...

Isn't that just...

Yamagishi Ei: “!”
