Conan Rick's Investigator

"I have no idea……"

……

Hachioji City.

When Qin Zhibo rushed to the downstairs of the insider's residence, it was still quiet.

In order to avoid exposing his identity, Qin Zhibo deliberately parked his car a little further away and then ran over.

With the detailed address provided by Sato, Qin Zhibo went straight to the door of the high-end detached apartment and stopped in front of the "Shindang" houseplate.

He was about to raise his hand to press the doorbell, but found a narrow gap between the door and the door frame.

The door is unlocked...

Qin Zhibo immediately put on gloves and pushed the door open.

In the apartment's living room, the palette and paint were scattered all over the place.

The room was empty and there were no signs of having been searched, only signs of a fight in the living room.

It was obvious that the insider had been abducted.

Am I a step late?

While Qin Zhibo was thinking, the sound of a door opening was heard from the entrance.

Someone is here again?

Qin Zhibo quickly put on the [Magic Ring] and stood still.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, until a piece of black clothes appeared at the corner of the living room.

A handsome man with medium-length hair appeared at the door of the living room, looking at everything in the room coldly.

It's Scotch whisky!

Qin Zhibo recognized the person's identity at a glance.

Scotch Whiskey entered the living room, looked around, and then turned and left in a hurry.

After a while, the sound of a car starting was heard at the door.

The whole process took no more than a minute, but Qin Zhibo felt as if he was in another world.

The man that Toru Amuro had been thinking about so much actually appeared.

Scotch whisky also appeared in the last Mystery Train incident.

Only this time, Scotch Whiskey's purpose was obviously also to get the organization's undercover list.

It seems that the member of the organization that is cooperating with Ireland this time is Scotch Whisky.

And Sumire Shindou was not kidnapped by the organization.

Then the only possibility is the murderer.

It must be very unfortunate that just when this insider remembered the clue of the serial murder case, she herself was targeted by the murderer.

Since she herself knew the murderer's situation, it meant that she knew the murderer's identity under certain circumstances and had also seen other victims.

With this idea in mind, Qin Zhibo began to observe the situation in the room.

This living room was converted into a studio by the hostess. In addition to a large number of painting tools, there is a shelf in the corner.

On the shelves are some art glass products and a photo of a woman holding a doll.

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo had an idea and thought of a solution.

If the murderer had just kidnapped Sumire Shindou not long ago, he should have moved the target to a predetermined location and killed him.

I had deciphered the code before and determined that the murderer needed to kill people at two more locations in order to complete the pattern of the Big Dipper and the North Star.

One of the spots is near Shiba Park in Tokyo.

Another point is in Kanagawa Prefecture.

If we go by distance, the point in Kanagawa Prefecture is closer to the current location.

As long as I can get to the place in advance and use the locating spell to search for the victim, there might still be a chance to save the situation.

So Qin Zhibo immediately memorized the appearance of the woman in the photo, then turned and left.

When he returned to his convertible, he drove quickly towards Kanagawa Prefecture.

……

At dusk, when Sato followed other police cars to the apartment in Hachioji City, he found that Sumire Shindo was gone.

The spilled paint and overturned palette on the ground indicated that a fight had taken place here.

Sato looked a little disappointed, because if Qin Zhibo had arrived first, he would have been able to take the person away and protect him without a fight.

The scene at this moment just shows that the first person to arrive is the murderer.

It could also be the police spy...

After inspecting the scene, Sato reported the intelligence to Officer Matsumoto who was in command at the Metropolitan Police Department.

"What? No one?"

"Shouldn't you be going out temporarily?"

Sato held the phone and said affirmatively, "It shouldn't be, because there are signs of a fight in the room. It is speculated that the criminal took Miss Shindo away in a car."

While Sato was reporting, Takagi came to the shelf in the corner of the living room and bent down to check the photo frames on it.

The woman in the photo frame should be the person who reported the case.

The doll that Takagi was hugging looked more and more familiar to him.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he exclaimed.

"I see!"

Sato, who was on the phone, turned around immediately and asked, "Takagi, what do you know?"

Wearing white gloves, Takagi picked up the photo frame from the shelf and pointed excitedly at the doll in the photo, "This giant squirrel is the mascot of Tropical Paradise!"

"This photo shows that Shindou Sumire has also been to Tropical Paradise!"

Tropical Paradise is the place where Minoru Fukase, who was just arrested this morning, stabbed one of the victims in the case while waiting in line a year ago.

The hypothesis proposed by Takagi Shigeru is that all the victims in this case may have lined up somewhere and offended the criminal as a result.

Now, Takagi's theory seems to have received further support.

At this time, Manager Matsumoto, who was still on the phone, also heard the information and hurriedly asked Sato what was going on.

After Sato relayed this discovery, Manager Matsumoto immediately made the decision.

Comprehensive survey of tropical paradise!

Chapter 1425 Tracking the Murderer

Takagi Shigeru's new discovery seems to further prove that the connection between the victim and the murderer originated in the tropical paradise.

Even Sato was a little shaken, worried that it might be true as Takagi guessed.

In this case, the police's insider may be able to get closer to the truth faster.

So, Sato secretly sent this clue to Qin Zhibo's mobile phone via text message.

……

On the other side, Qin Zhibo was driving to Kanagawa Prefecture.

Judging from the points on the map, if the murderer intended to kill someone here, he would probably choose Ayase City in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

I opened my phone and saw it was a text message from Sato.

The content of the text message was that the police had turned the direction of the investigation to Tropical Paradise, and Sato was worried that Takagi Shigeru's reasoning was an accidental success.

In addition, General Sato also told Qin Zhibo that the car had a sudden tire blowout on the way to Hachioji.

Qin Zhibo immediately understood that this must be a mole in the police who sent people to prevent Sato and Takagi from going to the scene.

Since Scotch came in person to confirm the situation, it means that the people responsible for the sniping were Chianti and Cohen.

Qin Zhibo also sent a text message to Sato, saying that he had received it and was now trying to track down the murderer.

Logically speaking, the murder location in Kanagawa Prefecture is closer and is most likely the destination chosen by the murderer.

But the point in Tokyo cannot be completely ruled out.

To be on the safe side, Qin Zhibo called Conan again and asked him to go to the area near Shiba Park to take a look.

At Dr. Agasa's house, Conan was also anxiously waiting for news from Qin Zhibo.

When he heard the latest developments of the case from Qin Zhibo, he immediately became excited.

"PhD!"

"Drive me to Shiba Park!"

Dr. Agasa also knew the importance of this case, so he immediately put on his coat and went out to drive his Beetle.

It just so happened that Haibara Ai went to visit Chengshi Hospital at that time, so there was no need to explain anything to her.

Conan took his solar skateboard, got on Dr. Agasa's Beetle, and headed straight for Shiba Park.

……

Half an hour later, the Tokyo Tower was right in front of us, yet it seemed far away.

It was already dusk and approaching evening, the evening rush hour after get off work, and the traffic was extremely congested.

Dr. Agasa's Beetle was stuck in the middle of the traffic and it took half a day to move forward a little bit.

This situation made Conan, who was in a hurry, extremely anxious.

Now, every minute of delay is likely to result in the victim being killed by the murderer, and the clues leading to the organization being tracked down may slip away.

In desperation, Conan jumped out of the car holding his skateboard, went to the sidewalk alone and started skateboarding.

Although the current weather is not suitable for the use of solar skateboards, Dr. Agasa has upgraded the skateboard and it can now run for a while even without sunlight.

With his superb skateboarding skills, Conan skating freely on the sidewalk, causing passers-by to scream in surprise, just like a ghost skateboard boy as fast as the wind.

And in the traffic flow next to the sidewalk, a group of police cars had to wait patiently in the heavy traffic.

"Eh? Is that Conan?"

The sharp-eyed Megure caught a glimpse of the "blue phantom" on the side of the road and asked in confusion.

Shiratori, who was sitting in the driver's seat, took a closer look and murmured, "It seems that Conan is riding a skateboard, but he looks like he has something urgent to do..."

"Could it be that Conan already knows that we are going to Tropical Paradise to investigate?"

Based on the ideas provided by Takagi Shigeru, the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation headquarters just held a meeting and believed that the Tropical Paradise contained important clues.

Even an employee of Tropical Paradise was the serial killer.

Because only the staff of the tropical park can more easily obtain the detailed information of each tourist.

In order to seize this hard-earned clue, most of the people in the search headquarters were dispatched, even Manager Matsumoto who would not be dispatched unless it was an emergency.

At this time, Manager Matsumoto, who was sitting in the back seat, crossed his arms, squinted his eyes, and stared at Conan who was riding a skateboard and disappeared on the sidewalk.

Conan, on the other hand, was concentrating all his attention on observing the road and riding his skateboard, and did not notice the police car that was blocking the road.

Finally, he arrived at the main entrance of Shiba Park.

At this time, people who were visiting the park were coming out one after another, and the lamp posts on both sides of the roads in the park were lit up one by one.

Conan rode his skateboard and patrolled back and forth along the cobblestone path of the park, but he never found any suspicious people.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the dim bushes on the side of the road.

Conan immediately stopped his skateboard alertly and stood there listening.

Although the sounds in the bushes were kept as low as possible, the woman's "hmm" sounds could still be heard.
