Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan thought about the time he had spent with Qin Zhibo. Except for the beginning, Qin Zhibo would ask people around him indirectly about the origins of "Conan", but later he never asked any questions again.

When he couldn't control his desire to show off and said something beyond a child's common sense, he didn't react at all.

It's like I've become accustomed to it...

"Maybe... the novelty has worn off?"

This ambiguous answer made Haibara Ai roll her eyes.

However, Conan's words also reminded Haibara Ai of when she was picked up by Qin Zhibo, the doctor named Masashi Asano always spoke to her in the tone of treating a child.

Although she is not a child herself, Haibara Ai does not dislike this way of speaking at all.

But Qin Zhibo was not like that. He always spoke as if he was talking to an adult.

At first, Haibara Ai thought it was just because the uncle didn't know how to coax children, but now it seems that he might have discovered her identity and chose to speak in that way?

After all, if we knew that Conan was a shrinker, it would be easy to infer his identity based on the adult clothes he was wearing when he escaped.

But now, even if there is an disguised destroyer, Qin Zhibo, Haibara Ai must continue to stay at the murder scene.

Because the purpose of their visit to Professor Hirota this time was to retrieve the disk that was mistakenly sent here by Akemi Miyano.

That disk contains the information of APTX-4869!

"The computer may very well have the disk we're looking for..."

Ai Huiyuan glanced at the computer desk in the study and ordered coldly, "I'm going to look there. You stay here to attract the police's attention."

After saying that, Haibara Ai walked straight to the computer desk, leaving Conan feeling somewhat helpless.

This guy really knows how to order people around...

……

Qin Zhibo on this side did not notice the whispering between Conan and Haibara Ai, but was concentrating on solving the case.

-

Side quest: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit 1 hour

Task reward: 400 general skill proficiency, 140 social credits

-

The information about the side quest appeared the moment Professor Hirota's death was seen.

At the same time, Qin Zhibo began to enter the case-solving mode as if no one was around.

First, the corpse investigation.

[Name of the deceased: Hirota Masami]

[Time of death: 3 hour ago]

[Cause of death: severe blow to the head by a blunt object]

[Corpse investigation completed, skill acquired: Psychology]

Psychology: This refers to the ability to conduct psychological analysis on people. Improving this skill will enhance your ability to study someone's motivations and understand their personality, and to a certain extent, you can judge the truth or falsehood of what others say.

Rating: 1

Proficiency: 100/1000

(People who play psychology have dirty hearts)

-

Qin Zhibo acquired a new skill from Professor Guangtian.

Judging from the skill description, it seems to be very useful.

Next time I meet Conan, if I can use psychology to analyze the motives of the people present before the crime happens, it seems that many murders can be avoided?

Qin Zhibo thought so, but in fact...

With the introduction of Inspector Megure, Qin Zhibo learned about the case.

This afternoon, Professor Hirota is alone at his home, and there will be several visitors.

These visitors left messages on the answering machine.

Visitor 1 was a chess friend who came to play chess with Professor Hirota.

【Motivation Analysis√】

[Stealing the disk containing chess game records]

The second visitor was a parent of a student who came to Professor Hirota to write a letter of recommendation.

【Motivation Analysis√】

[Stealing a disk containing university entrance exam questions]

Visitor three was a student who came to ask Professor Hirota for old photos.

【Motivation Analysis√】

[Stealing a disk containing college photos]

Visitor four was Dr. Agasa, who came to visit Professor Hirota with his children.

【Motivation Analysis√】

[Unhappy that the other person is a professor while I am only a PhD]

Qin Zhibo: Isn’t this... just nonsense?

This so-called motivation analysis is a forced analysis, which is like finding a pretext to accuse someone of a crime.

Is it because my psychology level is only level 1, so I can’t analyze it?

In this way, Qin Zhibo gave up using psychological analysis methods and instead used traditional investigation points to solve the case.

The first and most obvious point of investigation is a metal trophy under Professor Hirota's head.

【Survey√】

[This is a murder weapon. The murder weapon came from the murder scene, indicating that the crime was impulsive.]

On the landline phone that fell on the floor in front is the second investigation point.

【Survey√】

The phone fell to the ground, but the receiver didn't fall out. This is likely an intentional arrangement.

After investigating the landline, Qin Zhibo found that there was still white light on it, so he continued to investigate.

【Survey√】

[The tape in the answering machine has signs of being bent, it may have been violently pulled out by someone]

The fourth bright investigation point was some chess pieces scattered on the ground.

【Survey√】

There are only three chess pieces of the same size on the ground; this might be a deliberate arrangement.

Although murder in a closed room is the highest level of murder for a murderer, for Qin Zhibo, the case is easiest to solve in such a small murder scene.

However, this time, Qin Zhibo, who had just taken a rough look at the room, had not yet found all the investigation points, which was not enough to start the scene reconstruction.

Could it be under the fallen bookshelf?

Qin Zhibo was just about to squat down and check under the bookshelf where Professor Guangtian's body was pressed, but the hard object in his trouser pocket made Qin Zhibo stop.

In his trouser pocket was the disk that he was going to return to Professor Hirota.

Although Professor Hirota is no longer with us, it’s better not to ruin things.

As soon as Qin Zhibo took it out, he was stunned.

I saw a clear survey point on this disk.

Seeing this investigation point, Qin Zhibo was stunned.

I brought this disk from the office and have kept it in my pocket since I came here.

Only the investigation points related to the murderer are shown on this disk.

Is it...

The murderer is myself?

Chapter 200: The poisonous tongue is mutual

On the floor, Conan was following his own steps to solve the case, listening to the contents of the answering machine with Inspector Megure.

There were a total of 13 messages recorded on the answering machine, 10 of which were from Professor Hirota's student, who was also one of today's visitors, the handsome man - Shirakura Yo.

This made Conan feel a little strange.

If a normal person calls and no one answers, they should wait for a while before calling again, or simply give up calling and wait for the other party to call them back.

But the handsome man made 1 calls in just one hour, interspersed with a lot of meaningless words.

Just as Conan was about to ask this question, Inspector Megure pressed the button on the answering machine and played the last recording.

"I'm from an insurance company..."

"I'd like to explain our new insurance policy to you. Would tonight be a good time?"

"no one there?"

"Then I'll call you later."

Even though a voice changer was used, the tone and pitch sounded a bit silly, which made Conan recognize the voice immediately.

It's vodka!

Has vodka arrived yet?

Not only Conan, but also Haibara Ai and Qin Zhibo, who were standing on chairs and quietly using computers, also recognized who the owner of the voice was.

Ai Huihara: Vodka!

Qin Zhibo: Uozuka Saburo!

Vodka's (Uozuka Saburo) voice change was so lonely that everyone who should have recognized him already recognized him...

Qin Zhibo paused his investigation into the case and began to think secretly.

There must be a reason why this Uozuka Saburo called pretending to be an insurance salesman.

Qin Zhibo couldn't help but think of another member of the Black Organization he met when he visited Professor Guangtian's house a few days ago.

The reason why Uozuka Saburo called here must be related to that woman.

If I remember correctly, that woman's name seemed to be...

Miyano Akemi!

Qin Zhibo only then remembered the name Miyano Akemi, and at the same time looked in the direction of Haibara Ai.

Both are members of the Black Organization, one is called Miyano Akemi and the other is called Miyano Shiho.

Could it be...that they are sisters?

An unprecedented idea emerged in Qin Zhibo's mind.

In Miyano Shiho's memory, Qin Zhibo knew that she was originally a scientist of the Black Organization, responsible for some banned research.

From the words of the "blonde big brother" Saburo Uozuka, we can judge that Miyano Shiho has always been "loyal" to the organization, otherwise the "blonde big brother" would not have kept her in the end.

Miyano Shiho suddenly started to fight against the organization, there must be a reason behind this.

Could it be related to that Miyano Akemi?

Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo walked over to Inspector Megure and whispered, "Are there any recent cases involving Miyano Akemi? Missing persons or murders are both fine."

Inspector Megure is not very helpful in normal reasoning, but he is quite capable in memorizing case materials.
