Conan Rick's Investigator

“I’m a minor too…”

As soon as Koshimizu Nanatsuki finished speaking, Qin Zhibo took the program plan from Sera and showed it in front of Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

"That fake director, Hiroo Tsuchio, handed me the program plan an hour ago and explained completely that he was being directed by someone else."

"Based on our research, we believe that the source of this program plan should come from one of the program participants, Nanatsuki Koshimizu."

"Also, Miss Koshimizu, your real age should be 20, which is the age at which you are considered an adult under the law."

Qin Zhibo glanced at the top of Yueshui Nanatsuki's head and saw the age column clearly written: 20 years old.

Although she plans to disguise herself as a minor to participate in Detective Koshien, in her daily life, her identity and age are still 20 years old.

However, Qin Zhibo's judgment surprised Shiliang who was standing by.

Because in her eyes, the girl in front of her was wearing the most common sailor uniform for high school girls. Except for her brown hair which was a bit out of place, she looked like a high school student.

As for Nanatsuki Koshimizu, she was also stunned when she heard Qin Zhibo even revealed her real age.

Has this detective already investigated all my information?

Nanatsuki Koshimizu frowned, still wanting to make a final excuse and struggle, but Qin Zhibo simply didn't give her a chance and continued speaking.

"Based on the information we have so far, Ms. Koshimizu's motivation for planning this project is likely the Lavender Villa incident that occurred on Shikoku Island a year ago."

"Also, I have some very important information regarding that case..."

"How about it?"

"Want to talk more?"

Looking at the confident look of the man in front of her, Nanatsuki Koshimizu knew that she had been investigated very thoroughly, and even her motives had been discovered.

The revenge plan must have failed, and now I can only accept my fate.

"All right……"

"Please come in."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki made way for Qin Zhibo and Sera Masumi and invited them into the room.

……

When I entered the room, I saw a few packages on the tatami floor, and the rest of the room looked empty.

"Miss Koshimizu, are you planning to leave here?"

"Um……"

Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded, said nothing more, and turned into the kitchen.

After a while, she brought out two glasses of water and placed them in front of Qin Zhibo and Shiliang.

"Sorry, we only have plain water here right now."

"It's okay. I wasn't thirsty anyway."

On this side of the low table are Qin Zhibo and Sera Masumi, and on the other side is Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

The two sides sat opposite each other, their eyes full of confrontation.

Although Nanatsuki Koshimizu indirectly admitted that she had something to do with the program planning, she did not intend to reveal her entire plan.

Moreover, it felt incredible that the other party could investigate him so thoroughly.

"Half an hour ago, Hammertail called me. Did you ask him to make that call?"

“Not entirely…”

Qin Zhibo shook his head. "I actually called you by pretending to be Hammertail. Then I used technology to track your address."

"Since you're planning to participate in 'Detective Koshien' anytime soon, I assume you live somewhere near Tokyo Port."

"The result was just as I expected..."

Qin Zhibo told without reservation the method he used to track down Nanatsuki Koshimizu, which made Nanatsuki Koshimizu look surprised.

Is this the skill of one of Tokyo's most famous private detectives?

Although they were all detectives, she had only seen such technological means as disguising one's voice as someone else and tracking the location of the other party's phone in spy movies.

I didn't expect that there are detectives in real life who would use such high-tech methods...

It seems that my loss was not unfair.

"Okay, I'm really convinced..."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu smiled helplessly, "But I planned this project to have a reasoning competition with the best high school detectives in the country. I didn't have any other ideas."

"Of course, you can also sue me for using false information to deceive minors..."

"But the prerequisite is that my deceptive behavior has caused any losses to the minor."

This is Nanatsuki Koshimizu's trump card.

Although she was caught by the pigtails, fortunately nothing had happened yet. The most she had done was an attempted deception.

Moreover, her program plan did not include any content such as prepayment of registration fees or program shooting fees. The most the police did was to criticize and educate her and that was it.

The only pity is that her plan to avenge Chana will have to be put on hold for a while.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki's completely irresponsible attitude made Sera Masumi clench his fists slightly under the table.

Qin Zhibo is of course aware of these problems.

"You're right. I really can't do anything to you..."

"But what if I say I know who the detective was who got the Shikoku police to change the verdict in the Lavender Villa case six months ago?"

As soon as Qin Zhibo finished speaking, Nanatsuki's pupils widened instantly, and she immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Don't be impatient..."

Qin Zhibo's voice remained steady. "If you want to know the information I have, you must tell me your plan in full."

"Of course, from your perspective, you're just assuming that the immature deduction contest plan can still go on..."

Hearing this, Koshimizu Nanatsuki's eyes gradually calmed down.

She understood what Qin Zhibo wanted her to say.

Of course, this is her real purpose for holding "Detective Koshien".

Although those plans were related to her desire to avenge Chanel, as Qin Zhibo said, everything was just based on assumptions.

, unable to convict.

But in return, she can get the name of the person who killed Chanel.

As long as I wait until the storm is over, I will still have a chance to take revenge.

"Okay, let's take this as an assumption and talk about my plan..."

On the contrary, Nanatsuki Koshimizu's expression relaxed slightly and she began her story.

In the "hypothesis", she planned to accept the invitation to go to an uninhabited island, but before boarding the boat, she bribed the boatman with money to ask him to conceal the destination of the boat from anyone who asked.

Afterwards, she will see who can solve the puzzle first after Tsuchio and Kotani Renzo finish the first puzzle.

Because the room on the uninhabited island is filled with clues about the lavender case, plus the mystery of the locked room murder, the detective who "solved" the case half a year ago will definitely think of it immediately.

And she only needs to do what she should do after knowing the name of that person...

"What should I do?"

"Do you mean killing that person?"

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes and asked Yueshui Nanatsuki.

The latter raised the corner of his mouth slightly, without answering, but his attitude clearly showed his agreement.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo continued to ask, "You're willing to go to such lengths, isn't it just because that high school detective once overturned your reasoning?"

"Perhaps there is some deeper reason?"

Facing Qin Zhibo's question, Nanatsuki Koshimizu's eyes were extremely calm, and she asked in return, "I have already explained everything I need to explain. You should also keep your promise and tell me the name of that person, right?"

But at this time, Qin Zhibo shook his head calmly.

"No……"

"Although I personally despise those who seek fame and reputation by solving crimes, I'm not so desperate as to eliminate them in that way."

"So until your desire for revenge changes, I won't tell you the man's name."

After being clearly rejected by Qin Zhibo, Nanatsuki Yuesui, who was still calm the last second, suddenly glared at Qin Zhibo.

She put her hands on the table and screamed hysterically.

"What do you know!"

"That man killed my best friend! He doesn't deserve to live in this world!"

"Tell me that person's name!"

Qin Zhibo was also a little surprised to see that Nanatsuki Yueshui suddenly went crazy.

But before he could take action to stop her, Sera Masumi, who had already been unable to bear it any longer, suddenly stood up and slapped Koshimizu Nanatsuki in the face.

"No one in this world can judge another's life so easily!"

"You stupid girl!"

Chapter 1383 Excellent matching mechanism!

Sera Masumi suddenly became so excited that Qin Zhibo, who was standing beside her, was a little unable to react.

Although we haven't known each other for long, I feel that Sera Masumi is generally a gentle and easy-going person.

He had indeed never seen or imagined that Shiliang was so "furious".

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...

Qin Zhibo was very tactful and moved aside half a body length to let the two girls battle on their own.

Sera Masumi angrily grabbed the collar of Koshimizu Nanatsuki's sailor uniform and shouted with all her might, "Bearing the guilt of murder for revenge—is this what your best friend wants to see?"

"Even if you can escape legal punishment, the guilt of murder will still be on your shoulders for the rest of your life and will never be erased!"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu stared at Sera blankly, then curled her lips and whispered, "I won't bear this for the rest of my life..."

"Do you want to die?"

Sera Masumi put one foot directly on the low table and glared down at the girl in front of him.

"So you're a stupid girl!"

"Why are you so obsessed with the past? Is there nothing in this world worth cherishing?"

"Your family and other friends! Why don't you think more about them?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu was visibly stunned for a moment, then she said, "My parents divorced when I was very young..."

"Friends too..."

Before she could finish, Sera Masumi got close to her face and yelled, "Then I'll be your friend!"

"As your new friend, I command you not to die! And not to do anything stupid!"

"Stupid girl! Do you understand!?"

On the opposite side, Nanatsuki Koshimizu's pupils widened, her ears were buzzing, and her brain was so shocked by the strong impact that she was speechless for a while.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Sera Masumi lifted her collar even harder and raised his voice even louder.

"I didn't hear your answer!"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who was beaten to a pulp, was completely dumbfounded. She opened her lips slightly and nodded dully.

Seeing this, Sera Masumi nodded with satisfaction and let go of her hand.

"That's more like it~"

“Ahem…”
