Conan Rick's Investigator

You can put him together with Junya Tokitsu, what an excellent matching mechanism!

At this moment, Sera looked at the content on the mobile phone and suddenly made a shocked sound.

"Eh?"

"Isn't this the director from the TV station?"

"What did you say?"

Qin Zhibo turned his head and looked at the phone screen that Shiliang was showing.

There was a photo on it, showing a fat man and an elderly woman walking out of the police station.

The caption on the photo is, "The soul detective has done a great job! The identity of the unknown person's skeleton has been found out!"

Sera took back his phone and briefly summarized the content of the news.

The general content is that the soul detective Kaito Hotta discovered a buried female body in the suburbs of Tokyo through "spiritual communication".

After police investigation, it was confirmed that the female corpse was a 27-year-old employee of a Tokyo company, and her family also claimed the body.

Next, the police will investigate the case on the premise of homicide...

Qin Zhibo looked at the chubby man crying in the photo and realized that it was the TV director Gu Li Sanping whom he had just met.

Chapter 1384 Evenly matched opponents

"This can't be a coincidence, right?"

Shira looked at the news photos on his phone and murmured.

Qin Zhibo was also a little unsure and could only vaguely answer: "It doesn't feel like..."

"Looking at it from a bright side, maybe Mr. Koguri wanted to thank the Soul Detective for helping him find his family's body, so he invited the Soul Detective to make a comeback on the show."

"If you think about it from a bad perspective..."

That is the traditional program of Mihua.

Qin Zhibo thought about it and decided to park the car on the side of the road and call Gao Mu to ask what was going on.

……

"I have some recollection of that case. It was handled by Shiratori's team..."

"The police later found a suicide note left by the deceased on his company computer. It stated that work pressure and long-term depression had led to his suicidal thoughts."

"So the search for that case has now been cancelled..."

Qin Zhibo pressed on, "But the news reports say a body was dug out of the ground in the suburbs. Could the deceased have buried himself alive?"

Takagi replied, "The police have also investigated this matter and believe that someone buried the body afterward..."

"But even though there was a suspect, the evidence was insufficient, so the case was ultimately dropped... Wait a minute! Officer Satou!"

"Sorry, Mr. Qin, we have a mission. Let's talk when we get back!"

"Well, go do your thing."

Qin Zhibo hung up the phone and had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

The soul detective really did as he guessed. He found the body of the person who committed suicide, and then buried it, pretending that he had found it through psychic means.

The police will certainly inform the family of the results of their investigation.

In other words, it is very likely that Kouri Sanpei guessed that the ghost detective buried the bodies of his family members, pretended that he found them himself, and then dug them out again to attract attention.

In this case, there is only one possibility why Furuli Sanpei invited the soul detective to participate in the show.

For revenge.

I didn't expect to meet two detectives who got into trouble for seeking fame and reputation in one day.

Qin Zhibo turned his head and said to Shiliang helplessly: "It seems that we have to go back to the TV station again..."

……

Inside the Nichimi TV building, Furuguri Sanpei was discussing possible changes to the program cast with his colleagues from the program team.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

When I picked up the phone, I found out that it was Qin Zhibo who came back. He said he had something important to discuss with him and asked him to come to the reception room as soon as possible.

And, he asked that only he come.

This made Gu Li Canping a little confused.

Did they reach an agreement with Kaito Horida so quickly?

Although he was not clear about the reason why Qin Zhibo took the initiative to join the program team, in any case, Kaito Horita's program quota could not be moved.

Because this is his only chance to take revenge on Kaito Hotta.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible gloom flashed across Guli Canping's eyes.

Half a year ago, his sister suddenly disappeared.

After searching in vain near the sister's rented house and workplace, the whole family decided to call the police.

However, the wait after calling the police was long. For three full months, no news was received.

During the waiting period, his mother's health deteriorated and the hope in her heart gradually became slim.

But at this moment, the "Soul Detective" Kaito Horida discovered an unidentified body in the forest outside Tokyo through psychic means.

Based on the degree of decomposition of the body and the time when the disappearance was reported, the police found the Furuli family and notified them to go to the Metropolitan Police Department for a DNA comparison.

The results of the comparison showed that the DNA was basically consistent, and she was indeed the missing sister of Gu Li Canping.

This result broke Gu Li's family's heart, but it also confirmed that his sister was murdered.

But one

A week later, the police informed them of the latest investigation results, saying that a suicide note and a large amount of depression medication prescribed by a doctor were found in the company computer.

In addition, a taxi driver had taken my sister to the suburbs alone several months ago, so it can be basically confirmed that my sister committed suicide.

As for the fact that the body was found in a buried state, the police suspected that it was done by the first person who discovered the body.

That is the soul detective Kaito Hotta.

However, due to the lack of evidence, it was not possible to bring a formal lawsuit against Kaito Horita for "insulting a corpse".

After learning the final outcome of this series of events, Furuli Sanpei began to feel a desire for revenge.

It is clear that Kaito Horida discovered the body of his sister who had committed suicide three months ago, but in order to make his "psychic" ability look more magical, he deliberately buried the body in the ground and waited for three months.

In order to create a good effect for the show, Kaito Horida also took away all the identity documents from the body.

When Koriguri Sanpei thought of the ugly-faced Kaito Horita who had molested his sister's newly dead body and left it to rot in the soil, he became furious.

His plan was to use the show to invite Kaito Horida, and then invite another famous detective, and then kill Kaito Horida when they went to the hotel to discuss the details of the show.

So it doesn’t matter who the other famous detective is, as long as he can provide him with an alibi.

The important thing is that there must be Kaito Hotta.

So on this point, he would not give in no matter what.

……

When he arrived at the reception room, Gu Li Sanping saw Qin Zhibo and Sera Masumi who had returned, and put on a smiling face.

"Mr. Qin, have you met Mr. Horita?"

"Mr. Hotta?"

Qin Zhibo turned around and closed the door to the reception room. "I bet you feel really sick every time you call him 'Sir', don't you?"

"Eh?" Gu Lishanping was stunned. "Mr. Qin, what are you talking about?"

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to face Gu Li Canping.

"Mr. Kouri, stop pretending. I already know what happened to you..."

Sera next to him raised his cell phone at the right time, and on it was the photo from the news, a photo of Furuli Sanpei and his mother just coming out of the police station.

When Gu Li Sanping saw this familiar photo, his pupils dilated instantly and his arms began to tremble slightly.

Qin Zhibo turned around and signaled Shiliang to put the photos away, then continued, "Horita Kaito buried your family's bodies and then dug them up for show under the guise of 'spiritual communication'... I already know everything about this."

"You invited him to the show to get back at him, right?"

Guli Canping stood there with his head lowered and his fists clenched. In a short while, beads of sweat covered his forehead.

He didn't expect that his plan would be discovered by the famous detective before it could be implemented!

"Why?!"

"Why are you stopping me?!"

Kouri Sanpei suddenly roared, "I just want to seek justice for my sister and punish the person who slandered her death!"

"Prevent?"

Qin Zhibo shook his head and said calmly, "First of all, I didn't stop you. I just told you that I know your true thoughts."

"This also means that your plan of killing someone and then concealing the truth will absolutely not succeed with me."

"Besides, there's no way I can stop you. As long as you have the murderous intent in your heart, even if you fail once, there's always a second, a third... Sooner or later, you'll succeed."

"I just want to tell you what the consequences will be if you want to take revenge on Hotta Kaito."

"You will spend at least a dozen years in prison, and when you are released you will be burdened with the guilt of murder and a charge that will never be washed away."

"Maybe you think you killed evil

But murder is still murder, and the nature of the act does not change simply because the target of the act changes."

"And your mother, left unattended for over a decade, has been weeping all day long."

"In other words, you used two lives to exchange for just one person's life."

"Furthermore, even if Hotta Kaito committed more evil during his lifetime, in this society there will inevitably be people who believe that his crimes do not deserve the death penalty and will sympathize with him."

"You may get sympathy from some in society, but the law will not."

"So your 'revenge value for money' is really too low."

Revenge price/performance ratio?

When Shira, who was standing by, heard this new word, his eyes were obviously surprised.

Can it still be calculated like this?

And Gu Li Sanping's expression gradually softened. "You mean I should do nothing?"

Qin Zhibo smiled and shook his head. "If you do nothing, you'll probably still be angry."

"Since Horita did all this for fame, the best punishment for him is to completely destroy his reputation."

Kouri Sanpei's expression changed. "What should we do? The police accused him before, but they had no evidence..."

"evidence?"

Qin Zhibo raised a finger and shook it. "Sometimes, you don't even need so-called evidence to ruin someone's reputation."

"You're a TV producer, so you should know more about journalism than I do..."

……

Two days later, the TV station building was sold.

"Hello, Mr. Tokitsu Junya, welcome to the Nichimi TV building..."

"I'm the director of 'Unsolved Cases,' and my name is Furuguri Sanpei."

In the lobby on the first floor of the TV station, Gu Li Sanping was receiving a long-haired man.

The man was wearing a grey sports suit and carrying a sports bag on his back. His most iconic feature was his long hair covering his cheeks on both sides.

"Hello……"

Tokitsu Junya shook hands with Furuguri Sanpei and asked, "But I heard that the program I was going to participate in was called 'Detective Koshien', why did it suddenly change to 'Unsolved Cases'?"
