Conan Rick's Investigator

Just now on the way to the Metropolitan Police Department, Sera Masumi finished reading the project plan he got from Tsuchio, and with Qin Zhibo's introduction, he already had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the incident.

After reading the case files of "Lavender Villa", the whole context of the incident became clearer.

The investigation of this case was divided into two phases.

The first stage was after the case occurred, when the police searched the scene and, based on the testimonies of people around them, concluded that the rich girl had committed suicide by hanging herself.

The second stage was half a year after the incident, when the police reopened the investigation and found new evidence at the scene.

New evidence shows that the windows of the room where the rich girl hanged herself had signs of being dismantled and glued back together with adhesive, creating the illusion that the suicide scene was a closed room.

The police's suspect this time was the personal maid who had been serving the young lady at Lavender Villa.

At the time of the incident, only the rich girl and the maid lived in Lavender Villa.

Therefore, the maid is the person with the greatest suspicion of committing the crime.

However, when the case was still under investigation, the maid committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.

Therefore, the police concluded that the maid committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and the whole case was closed as the rich girl was murdered.

After reading the police's description of the case in the file, Shiliang next to him couldn't help but become indignant.

"Are you so hasty to label someone a murderer?"

"Even if the suspect committed suicide, until there's definitive evidence, the case will at best be considered an unsolved case!"

Qin Zhibo remained silent and continued to look at the evidence photos related to the case.

The so-called evidence was actually a pile of screws, which had been cut in half, which was indeed very suspicious.

But according to Chuiwei's explanation, he had clamped the screws in two on purpose to make it easier for him to break into the house.

Wedge the screw cap back into the window frame, using wood adhesive to secure the window frame.

When night comes, you can easily break into the villa by simply pulling down the window frame.

The key point is that these evidences were not found by the police until half a year later near the window. Didn’t anyone search that place half a year ago?

Moreover, the case had been closed for half a year, but the police suddenly reopened the investigation, which is also very suspicious.

For police officers with this kind of investigative attitude, there is no reason for them to reopen the investigation without any reason.

Unless someone gave the police a reason.

At this time, Qin Zhibo thought that Shikoku Island was located in the southern part of Japan, which happened to be the territory of the southern detective Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

Could it be that the case was reopened because of the intervention of Nanatsuki Koshimizu?

Qin Zhibo thought about it and felt that this possibility was not high.

First of all, this case had a great influence at the time, because the deceased was the daughter of a wealthy man and a young girl, and her death aroused widespread sympathy in society.

The southern part of the country was originally the territory of Nanatsuki Koshimizu. After learning about the case, he would definitely intervene as soon as possible and would not wait until half a year to solve the case.

It is common sense that every detective knows that clues and evidence in a case will fade over time.

If Nanatsuki Koshimizu was involved in this case, it is more likely that she was involved from the very beginning.

On the contrary, Tokatsu Junya, another northern detective, was a northern detective and it is possible that he did not start the investigation until half a year later due to the lag in information transmission.

Qin Zhibo was in the car just now and asked Sera Masumi to search the situation of the two on the Internet.

Junya Tokitsu was born in Hokkaido and is quite famous in Hokkaido. He also has a travel blog.

On his personal homepage, he wrote: Because the case in Hokkaido has been almost solved, I want to go outside and take a look.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu is relatively less famous. Although he has solved some cases, he is generally low-key.

In terms of personality, Tokitsu Junya is a bit ostentatious and successful at a young age, which is somewhat similar to the early Kudo Shinichi.

If you're looking for a case while traveling, and you happen to hear about the "Lavender Villa Case" on Shikoku Island, and you happen to find the screws that Hammertail removed around Lavender Villa...

The logic is closed!

Qin Zhibo's eyes lit up and he finally figured everything out.

This case should have been participated by both Nanatsuki Koshimizu and Junya Tokitsu, but one concluded that it was suicide, while the other concluded that it was homicide.

It is precisely because of the major differences in this case that the "Detective Koshien" project was launched.

The person behind this plan should be Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

Because from the current perspective, Junya Tokitsu's conclusion has been officially recognized. Although it is incorrect, it has also achieved "victory."

As the winner, there was no need for him to uncover this dusty past.

Furthermore, given his flamboyant personality, he did not even include his own name in the files or local case reports, suggesting that he may have realized that his reasoning was flawed.

And it was because Tokitsu Junya hid his name that Koshimizu Nanatsuki used "Detective Koshien" to lure him out.

Judging from the person invited by Nanatsuki Koshimizu, she knew the identity of the other party, a high school detective, but she was not sure who he was exactly.

The fact that she did not invite the more famous "Kudo Shinichi" shows that everyone else has a distinctive feature.

What are the characteristics?

Qin Zhibo held his chin and thought for a long time, but he really couldn't think of anything.

The common point between Hakuba Tanji and Hattori Heiji is that they both have a father with a very powerful background, but it is impossible that Tokitsu Junya's father is also a high-ranking official in the police force, right?

However, now that the search has reached this point, the rest will be much easier.

"Sera, let's go..."

Qin Zhibo closed the file, which surprised Shiliang Zhenchun who was still thinking about it nearby.

"What? Uncle, do you already know the truth?"

"Yeah, about right."

Qin Zhibo smiled confidently, "But for more details, you'll have to ask her in person."

Chapter 1382 Crossing Seven Tsukis of Water

In an affordable apartment building in Tokyo.

A thin girl with short hair was kneeling in the tatami room, packing up the daily necessities on the low table one by one.

However, she did not plan to take these things anywhere. Instead, she would give the still usable items to the landlord, and find a place to throw away the personal belongings that could no longer be used.

Because soon she will never need these things again...

She was quick and skillful. She separated the useful things from the unusable things and packed them one by one.

However, in order to act more like a high school student in "Detective Koshien" which starts the day after tomorrow, I have to keep the school uniform from my student days.

"I haven't worn this outfit in a while..."

"I don't know if it will still fit?"

The short-haired girl pulled the curtains of the room halfway up, and her petite body shrank into the darkness where no one could see.

At the edge of the gray fabric curtains, pieces of underwear were thrown casually onto the tatami, triggering endless imagination.

After a while, a young and beautiful figure reappeared at the window.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu stood in front of the dressing mirror and adjusted the scarf of her sailor uniform and the wrinkles on the hem of her long skirt.

"Well enough"

Except for the tightness in my chest, everything else is fine.

I'll just go to the tailor shop tomorrow and get it altered...

Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, but after a few seconds, her vision became blurred.

While she was in a daze, she seemed to see another girl with twin ponytails wearing a sailor uniform standing next to her, talking and laughing with her.

Chanel...

I'll be able to find that high school detective soon and avenge you.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu was wearing her school uniform and repacking her luggage.

When it came time to pack up a picture frame that was on the table, she hesitated.

In the photo frame was a photo of himself and Kana Mizuguchi when they were in high school. The two of them were wearing school uniforms and smiling brightly among the flowers.

The two have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and have always had a very good relationship and are almost inseparable.

After graduation, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was admitted to university to continue her studies.

Kana Mizuguchi chose to find a job directly and worked as a maid in a wealthy family's villa.

Although the two people's destinies are slightly different, they still keep in touch frequently after graduation, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu would also visit Mizuguchi Kana during the holidays.

But fate plays tricks on us like this.

One day, Mizuguchi Kana called and said that the daughter of a wealthy family she served had hanged herself, and she hoped that Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who had solved many cases before, would come and help investigate.

So, Nanatsuki Koshimizu asked for leave from school and came to Shikoku Island for investigation.

After a series of careful investigations, Nanatsuki Koshimizu was very sure that the daughter had simply committed suicide by hanging.

In addition, she learned from Mizuguchi Kana that before her daughter committed suicide, she had just experienced a failed relationship and was deeply hit by the scumbag, and fell into depression for a time.

Therefore, the local police closed the case as suicide, and after comforting Mizuguchi Kana, Nanatsuki Koshimizu returned to university.

But unexpectedly, half a year later, that incident happened...

Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at the group photo in the photo and gradually tightened the force on her fingers that were pinching the photo frame.

But in the end, she reluctantly threw the photo frame and the photo into the garbage bin.

Because once a murder occurs on an uninhabited island, there is a high probability that everyone's carry-on luggage will be searched.

This photo cannot be kept on me under any circumstances.

"Sorry, Kana."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu packed the two piles of luggage thoroughly, put one of the bags in a black plastic bag, and put a "hazardous waste" label on the outside so that it would not be picked up by scavengers.

Just then, there was a knock on the door from the direction of the entrance.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and was startled at first, but then she remembered that it should be the landlord she had notified before who came to pick up the gift.

So, without thinking any more, she stood up from the tatami and responded.

"coming!"

She picked up the package in the transparent bag with both hands, carried it to the door with difficulty, then freed one hand to unlock the door.

But when the security door opened, the two figures at the door made her stunned.

The mixed-race man standing in the front is tall and has a handsome uncle face.

Following next to him was a boy with short hair?

"Excuse me, who are you..."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki just asked subconsciously, but suddenly felt that the man standing in front of her looked familiar.

Her brain reacted for a moment, and she realized that she had some impression of this face.

This is none other than one of the two most famous private detectives in Tokyo, the famous detective Qin Zhibo!

Nanatsuki Koshimizu's pupils trembled for a moment, but she quickly suppressed her shock and asked calmly, "Who are you two?"

Seeing that Nanatsuki Koshimizu's eyes changed from shock to vigilance, Qin Zhibo also knew that the other party had recognized his identity.

But he didn't say anything. Instead, he introduced himself with a smile: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Zhibo, and I'm a well-known private detective."

"The person next to me is my disciple, Sera Masumi."

Masumi Sera took off his hat and gestured.

"I'm here because my client received an invitation to appear on a TV program called 'Detective Koshien,' but it turns out the program isn't living up to its name and is suspected of misleading minors."

"To protect minors from being persecuted by criminals, I've been assigned to investigate the producers of 'Detective Koshien'..."

Hearing this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki was startled and realized that the visitor had ill intentions.

But she still forced herself to suppress her expression and asked calmly, "You went to find the producers of that program, so why did you come to me?"
