Conan Rick's Investigator

But just when Qin Zhibo was about to ask what he wanted to ask, a system option appeared in Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

[You can choose to use (intimidation) or (talking skills) for language investigation]

The appearance of the new prompt made Qin Zhibo understand the significance of the social skill (intimidation) he had just unlocked.

That is to provide an additional social method of language inquiry.

Previously, Qin Zhibo only had one method of language investigation, which was a sales pitch, so the default method was to use the sales pitch.

But now that you have an additional social skill (intimidation), you can choose between intimidation or rhetoric to carry out routine inquiries.

But threatening a legal loli in front of the police is really a beast...

No!

【Talking skills√】

"I would like to ask if it is possible that the deceased committed suicide this time, and if it is a homicide, who are the suspects?"

The police and Conan are thinking about whether it is suicide or homicide, but based on the content of the side quest, Qin Zhibo feels that it is most likely homicide.

But it's better to ask just in case.

Huiyuan Ai recalled what happened today. She remembered Zhang Tianzhengji's sarcastic remarks to the theater staff and his use of cigarettes to disturb other customers who were watching the movie. It was hard to imagine that such a person would commit suicide today...

"It shouldn't be suicide..." Haibara Ai reasoned seriously.

"If they are suspects, the owner of this cinema, the ticket seller, the projectionist, and the audience member wearing glasses could all be suspects."

The ruthless Haibara Ai named all the adults she met for the first time today.

Chapter 248: Haibara, the teasing classmate

In order to help Qin Zhibo solve the case faster, Huihara Ai took the initiative to explain why she listed these people as suspects.

"Today is the cinema's last day of business. Besides us, the only other people watching movies in the cinema are the college student with glasses, the cinema owner, and a young couple."

"But before the deceased hanged himself, he had chased the couple away. They probably wouldn't have returned to kill someone on purpose."

"After that, the only people left in the theater were us kids, the college student, and the owner of the theater."

"Although the cinema owner is old and doesn't seem able to hang the deceased, as long as he and the college students work together to kill someone..."

"After all, that college student has been a regular customer of this cinema for a long time, and he seems to know the owner well."

"In addition, the cinema owner can also cooperate with the projectionist in the projection room. As long as the owner puts a rope around the deceased's neck, the projectionist will immediately pull the rope and the deceased can be hung up."

"In short, I think this could have been a coordinated murder. The people collaborating were either the boss and the projectionist, or the boss and the university student. It's even possible that all three of them worked together to kill the victim..."

Ai Haibara held her chin in her hand and calmly analyzed the entire set of logical relationships.

If Qin Zhibo didn't know that she was a very smart scientist, he would definitely be very surprised by Haibara Ai's reasoning.

but now……

Qin Zhibo: "Miss, please put on your vest."

Haibara Ai was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes wide and looked up at Qin Zhibo, then she realized that she had accidentally said too much.

Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.

So, Huiyuan Ai very tactfully pointed at Conan and explained in a weak loli voice: "It was Conan... These words were told to me just now by Conan."

Conan, who was listening to the police searching for intelligence not far away, saw Haibara Ai standing next to Qin Zhibo and pointing at him, with a big question mark appearing on his forehead.

What are those two guys discussing?

Are you saying bad things about me behind my back?

Conan ran to Haibara Ai in two steps, but only saw Qin Zhibo nodding with an understanding look on his face.

"Oh~ So that's it..."

Curious Conan quickly asked, "Uncle Qin, what is it like?"

Before Conan could get a reply, Haibara Ai pressed Conan's shoulders from behind and pushed him to the side.

"It doesn't matter what you do. Let Uncle Qin solve the case on his own."

After being pushed away by Huiyuan Ai for a distance, Conan finally couldn't help it, shook off Huiyuan Ai's hands, and asked: "Did you tell that guy about me?"

Haibara Ai wanted to explain, but when she saw Conan's serious expression, she felt like playing a trick on this famous detective who could always face any situation calmly.

"Yes what's the matter?"

An evil smile appeared on Haibara Ai's face, the kind that ordinary people could never learn.

Conan asked with a surprised and serious look on his face: "What did you tell him?"

"I said that the little Conan over there and I both took a drug and turned from adults into children..."

Before Haibara Ai could finish her words, Conan grabbed her wrist with one hand and ran to the restroom of the cinema.

Entering the empty toilet, Conan immediately went into berserk mode.

"You knew that this matter couldn't involve more people! Why did you tell him?"

"Given that guy's personality, if he knew about the drug that can shrink people and the Black Organization, he would definitely..."

Conan's words stopped abruptly.

Because he suddenly remembered that Qin Zhibo knew that he was Kudo Shinichi not on the first day, but he just didn't point it out yet.

This is completely different from Hattori Heiji's attitude when he learned that he was a shrunken detective.

According to his own summary, Qin Zhibo does not have the curiosity of a detective.

Moreover, when Qin Zhibo learned the "shocking truth" that Huibara Ai said just now, he just nodded as if he understood and said, "Oh, so that's how it is."

It's like knowing something very common.

In other words, given that guy's personality, if he knew about drugs and the Black Organization, he would definitely...

Will definitely do nothing!

After deducing this answer in his mind, Conan felt an indescribable sense of loneliness in his heart.

It is such a sad and lamentable story that others have no intention of helping after knowing what happened to him.

Perhaps keeping oneself safe is the way of the adult world.

I am still too young and think that as long as I tell my story, everyone around me will help me unconditionally.

Just when Conan was sighing in his heart, Haibara Ai patted Conan's shoulder at the right time.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell him anything."

"I'm not as unstable as you, rashly entering into areas that don't belong to me."

As Haibara Ai finished her words, the bathroom door was slowly pushed open and another real loli walked in.

Ayumi looked up and saw Conan standing in the toilet. She immediately raised her hand and accused him with a red face: "Conan!"

"You're terrible! This is the women's restroom!"

Conan stayed where he was and looked around, only to find that there was no standing urinal in the toilet he had subconsciously broken into.

This is... the women's restroom!

"Excuse me!"

Conan yelled and ran away quickly, but Ayumi came forward and asked Huibara Ai with concern, "Did Conan do anything strange to you?"

"Him?" Huiyuan Ai looked towards the door with a playful smile, "He doesn't have the courage yet..."

……

Qin Zhibo is conducting an investigation related to the investigation point.

Near the place where Zhang Tianzhengci was "hanging", Qin Zhibo only found one investigation point, which was a large number of cigarette butts on the seats in front of the projection window.

【Survey√】

[The large number of cigarette butts indicates that the deceased's seat was right below the projection window.]

This investigation point does not explain much, Qin Zhibo needs to find more investigation points.

After wandering around the cinema's work area for a while, Qin Zhibo found the second investigation point in the staff lounge.

【Survey√】

The mirror in the lounge is cracked, and the tape on the mirror shows signs of being peeled off.

Qin Zhibo took a closer look and found that it was just as the investigation instructions said.

If the tape is peeled off and then put back on, the edges will wrinkle and lose some of its stickiness, proving that it has been peeled off.

After Qin Zhibo's careful observation, he found that all the tape strips on the mirror had signs of being peeled off, which meant that the entire mirror had been removed during the commissioning.

The last investigation point appeared in a way Qin Zhibo never expected...

Inspector Megure was asking what everyone was doing when the incident happened and happened to ask the cinema owner.

The cinema owner on crutches said: "I just stood up at that time to check the condition of the air conditioner, because that's my job."

Please select the type of language survey.

[Intimidation] or [talking skills]?

The light at the investigation point disappeared in a flash. Qin Zhibo, who was eager to investigate, was unable to react in time and blurted out threatening words.

"Old man, have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?"

Chapter 249 Huiyuan Ai: You’ve been clever, but don’t do it again next time…

"Old man, have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?"

As Qin Zhibo spoke, he raised his right hand which was clenched into a fist.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Inspector Megure looked at Qin Zhibo's actions in astonishment. It was obvious that he was threatening the cinema owner!

Breaking the law in front of the police shows that you don’t take the Japanese police seriously!

However, Qin Zhibo was his trusted brother Qin, so Officer Megure did not immediately order him to be arrested. Instead, he calmly asked in confusion, "Brother Qin... what are you doing?"

Qin Zhibo quickly changed his words and said, "This is a very popular joke recently. The fist as big as a sandbag is just as big as mine..."

"And I'll show you some colors. Actually, I really mean some colored cards. Haha..."

"I see, there are actually jokes like this now..." Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were threatening him, Brother Qin."

Thanks to Qin Zhibo's good social credit, Officer Megure didn't take it too seriously. If the person who said this was a yellow-haired gangster, Megure would have ordered his arrest without hesitation.

Qin Zhibo quickly asked in a normal tone, "What happened to the air conditioner?"

The cinema owner, who had been a little frightened just now, steadied his crutch and said, "The wind felt a little stronger than usual at that time, so I went to check the condition of the air conditioner."

"Yeah." Mitsuhiko interrupted, "I felt really cold at that time, so I suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom..."

The air conditioner suddenly went up high during the movie. Excluding the possibility of the air conditioner operating abnormally, someone must have secretly adjusted the temperature.

The last investigation point was completed and Qin Zhibo moved on to the next step.

【Reenactment√】

The moment the prompt appeared, Qin Zhibo saw a "little black" figure sticking its head out of the projection window above his head and looking out.

"Xiao Hei" Kazilan stared at Qin Zhibo with her big eyes, and the murderous intent in them was not concealed.

However, Qin Zhibo knew that "Xiao Hei" was not staring at him, but at...

Qin Zhibo moved aside, and sure enough, "Xiao Hei" was still staring at the seat under the projection window, which was the seat where the deceased Zhang Tian Zhengci often sat when he came to the cinema.

In other words, before the murderer took action, he made sure in the screening room that the victim was still sitting in his usual seat.

At this moment, it seemed as if the murderer was clear.

However, Qin Zhibo still needs to know his methods.
