Conan Rick's Investigator
Page 1185
But even so, the murderer must be found first before he can know what he did to Kudo Shinichi that day.
When he saw that it was a multiple-choice question he was familiar with, Mouri Kogoro immediately started to take advantage of it.
"Since the murderer is among you, please tell us where you were in the mansion and what you were doing."
"After all, it's impossible for Ms. Suchen, who is unconscious, to commit a crime..."
The four people looked at each other and explained their situations.
but
Just like before, the four of them did not act together, and the servants of the Inufushi family had all taken leave for the past two days, so no one could prove their innocence.
Seeing this, Qin Zhibo continued, "Then it seems we can only start from the direction of the demon dog..."
"From what we've seen so far, the demon dog is most likely being kept near the mansion. Are you all familiar with this area? What are your impressions of places like this?"
Perhaps feeling that his work had been taken away, Yamamura Cao, who wanted to make his presence felt, also stepped forward and echoed, "Or the barking of dogs in the forest would work..."
The four adopted children were silent for a while, but Dr. Zhihuang provided a clue.
It turned out that when the second adopted child who was killed was still alive, he and the adopted child discovered a cabin in the nearby forest.
Strange barking sounds would come from the wooden house, but they were too scared at the time and finally did not dare to go in.
However, now that the demon dog appears repeatedly, such important clues cannot be ignored.
After everyone prepared for a while, they immediately set off towards the forest.
……
Under the leadership of doctor Zhihuang, Conan and his team came to the swamp of the forest with Yamamura Cao.
The cabin with the barking dogs was right next to the swamp.
Qin Zhibo took a flashlight and looked around the edge of the swamp to determine the general scope of the swamp.
This is also the place where the victim of the second phase of the Demonic Dog Case was killed, so everyone naturally had to investigate.
However, there were no on-site witnesses in this second case. The police found burnt marks on the swamp bank and the Inubushi family's adopted daughter who ran into the swamp and drowned.
It's been a while since that case, and now I can't find any useful clues when I search the scene again.
So everyone just stopped for a short while and continued towards the cabin.
However, Zhihuangnan said that he was afraid of going to dark places and asked to stay alone in the car.
On the edge of the swamp, a dilapidated wooden house stood alone on the grass.
Qin Zhibo entered first.
When the light of the flashlight penetrated the darkness of the room, he was shocked by what he saw.
The space inside the wooden house is wider than expected, with several work tables, chairs, bookcases, etc. placed inside.
On the work table and bookcases, there are stacks and rows of books.
Qin Zhibo took a closer look and saw that the spines of these books all had titles about magic!
"Introduction to Black Magic", "Encyclopedia of Demonic Logic", "Encyclopedia of Magic", "Wizard's Manual"...
Most of these books are in English, with a small amount in Japanese and Latin. In short, they have everything you need.
Qin Zhibo subconsciously picked up a book and looked through it. It was full of magic spells, magic circles and the like, which were comparable to the magic books of Koizumi Hongzi's family.
However, these books generally have little history, and some even indicate the publisher.
How can a serious magic book be labeled with a publishing house?
Real magic books are either secrets or collections of secret wisdom passed down through generations.
Just when Qin Zhibo was assuming that these books were just fake and nothing real, a pile of books on the work table suddenly caught his eye.
The light of the investigation point actually appeared on this stack of books!
He quickly walked to the table, bent down to identify it carefully, and confirmed that the investigation point came from one of the books.
He took out the book and found that it was an old book.
The cover of the book is made of rough paper, with several large calligraphy written on it.
The Seven Chapters of Xuanjun's Secret Sutra...
There is no author's name, no publisher, and the contents are all handwritten in Chinese characters, stroke by stroke.
It turned out to be a book from the Great Celestial Dynasty?
Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. He didn't expect to find such high-quality goods in such a place?
Since there are survey points above, it means that this book is definitely not simple.
[Should a book survey be conducted?]
】
【Yes√】
Within a few seconds, information about this book appeared in Qin Zhibo's mind.
[Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra: Created by the ancient Chinese philosopher Xuanjun around the second century AD.
The book is divided into seven volumes, each volume is equivalent to a chapter. Each volume has a different theme and contains a spell.
Volume 1: On the Great Achievements of the Yellow Emperor; Incantation: Immortal Killing and Resurrection

This book is the Chinese version, which is closest to perfection and has great power]
[Reading this book will reduce your Willpower by 15-30 points, and your Mythology Knowledge and Skill Proficiency + the Willpower lost by reading x100]

【Do you want to read? 】
Qin Zhibo examined the information that emerged in his mind one by one, and his pupils gradually enlarged in the process.
The knowledge in this book is so rich that it even exceeds all the mythological knowledge books I have read before.
There are seven chapters in total, and the contents of each chapter are heavyweight!
And even though he hasn't started reading yet, Qin Zhibo is very interested in some of the contents just by reading the introduction!
At the same time, other people gradually entered the cabin to investigate.
"Hey, hey...why are all these books about dark magic?"
Mouri Kogoro also picked up a "Magic Encyclopedia" and flipped through it by the light of Yamamura Cao's flashlight.
It's just that he read it critically. As a materialist warrior, he naturally disdained such things.
Hattori Heiji didn't even look at it.
He swept the flashlight beam towards the ground and saw the six-pointed star carpet on the ground and a dog food bowl in the corner.
Just when Hei Hattori was about to bend forward to investigate, Conan, who had a physical advantage, had already dived under the table and found some leftover cans of dog food.
"It seems someone is definitely keeping a dog here..."
After confirming that the demon dog's true identity was a dog, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.
After experiencing some of the things that happened before, he really couldn't directly confirm that it was done by humans like Hattori Heiji did when it came to cases involving "monsters".
But this case is probably a human trick...
But just as he stood up and turned to see Qin Zhibo's reaction, he saw the man standing in front of the work table, reading attentively.
Ok?
Chapter 1234: The era of detectives may be over...
Reading at the crime scene again?
This was the first thought that came to Conan's mind.
When the two met for the first time during a case at Suyu's house (excluding their trip to Hawaii when they were children), Qin Zhibo was openly reading miscellaneous books at the scene of the murder.
While reading miscellaneous books, I also solved the case...
Although this cabin is not the crime scene, judging from the traces of dog feeding, this should be the birthplace of the "demon dog" and is also an important scene related to the case.
So, what are you looking at?
I'll go take a look too...
With extremely strong curiosity, Conan quietly approached Qin Zhibo from behind who was standing there reading a book.
But at this moment, Yamamura Cao suddenly took a flashlight and shined it on his face from below.
The light towering like a cone of light formed a shadow on his face, giving him a look of terror and a scream.
"Someone must be using the demon dog's curse here!"
Yamamura So's words immediately drew the objection of Hattori Heiji who was standing beside him, "Idiot! If you can kill people by casting a curse, then you should stop being a detective!"
"But didn't Xiaolan and the others see it..." Yamamura Cao still insisted.
"So that must be some kind of trick!"
Qin Zhibo's ears trembled slightly as he was reading the Seven Chapters of Xuanjun's Secret Scripture at his work desk.
Sorry, curses can really kill people...
In this way, although you can't be a detective, you can change your job to an investigator.
While everyone's attention was attracted by the materialistic debate between Hattori Heiji and Yamamura So, Qin Zhibo quietly put the Xuanwu Seven Chapters Secret Scripture into his arms, intending to play with his dirty hands.
"Oh!"
At this moment, a man's scream suddenly came from outside the wooden house.
Everyone reacted for 0.5 seconds and quickly looked out the window.
On the road dozens of meters away from the window, Inubushi Chiaki was being chased by a demon dog that was emitting "flames" all over its body.
"What!"
Conan and Hattori Heiji's pupils widened and they gritted their teeth in disbelief.
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, as he didn't expect that the "demon dog" would appear three times in one day.
After confirming the situation, everyone immediately ran in the direction of Zhihuang.
Zhihuang was still wearing a white coat, and his escape speed was not very fast. He was about to be caught up by the flame demon dog.
At the critical moment, the demon dog suddenly pounced forward, just in time to pounce on Chihuang's back.
"what!"
He let out a miserable scream, and was thrown to the ground by the strong body of the demon dog. He then rolled towards the hillside on the other side and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Conan and others quickly ran to the road and looked down the slope. They immediately saw Chiko rolling on the grass, trying to put out the fire on his body.
"Don't move!"
Hattori Heiji shouted as he took off his coat, ran forward, and covered Chiko's burning arm with his coat.
The flame is cut off from oxygen and naturally extinguishes quickly.
Others also arrived one after another, asking if they were injured.
"It's probably just a few burns..."
Hattori Heiji quickly checked Chiko's injury, and it was not serious.
