Conan Rick's Investigator

Conan was very familiar with this expression and words. It seemed like the truth had been revealed!

Conan's eyes widened, surprised that even though they were both "high school student detectives", this guy was so outstanding.

Qin Zhibo on the side was indifferent and didn't care much about Bai Ma Tan's words.

Obviously, this detective who is not used to the local environment has not yet adapted to the pace of solving cases here.

Now is the investigation stage!

The final conclusions reached during the investigation phase can only be eliminated as a process of elimination.

Chapter 287 Bai Ma Tan: "I am the smart one."

Bai Ma Tan's words attracted everyone's attention, and everyone looked at him, waiting for him to announce the truth.

If it were a domestic high school detective, these rebellious detective fans would at least ask something like "Is this true?"

But the White Horse Detective had returned from London and enjoyed an international reputation. These people immediately assumed that the White Horse Detective had indeed grasped the truth.

This is called "outside detectives are more likely to solve cases."

Bai Ma Tan was very satisfied with the fact that everyone present looked at him as if he were a big boss.

"Everyone, the car crash we saw was actually an elaborate hoax!"

"what!"

As soon as Bai Ma Tan said this, everyone was amazed. Only one person in the crowd, who was wearing highly reflective glasses, breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the crowd's positive reaction, Bai Ma continued, "Don't you think the car falling off the cliff is very similar to the scene in 'The Final Case' where Holmes and Moriarty fell off the cliff at Chenbach Falls?"

"The only difference is that Holmes fell off the cliff with Moriarty, and Holmes survived in the end."

"The innkeeper fell off the cliff with his car, and he was wearing Sherlock Holmes's clothes, obviously comparing himself to Sherlock Holmes."

"In other words, everything before me is actually a puzzle set up by the innkeeper..."

"The innkeeper is now like Sherlock Holmes. He is still alive and in this inn!"

Bai Ma Tan's words immediately ignited the spotlight in the crowd and quickly attracted a group of believers among these detective fans.

"I see!"

"As expected of a famous detective returning from London!"

Dabai and the fortune teller aunt praised it generously, and the others also believed this rather "convincing" truth and nodded in agreement.

Only the two people wearing glasses were a little confused by this inference.

Kento Toba, who was wearing glasses, was stunned when he saw Hakuba Tan's confident look.

Originally, a famous high school detective from London suddenly came today, and he was a little nervous about performing his tricks in front of a detective of this level.

Unexpectedly, this...

That's it?

As soon as he opened his mouth, he led the reasoning in a wrong direction that was beneficial to himself, completely eliminating his own motive for committing the crime.

Good job of eliminating it!

"Ah! That's it!"

"you're right!"

Kento Toba echoed like a praying mantis, with a delighted expression on his face.

He never expected that his scheme could be so easily concealed that even famous foreign detectives couldn't see through it.

Although he still had a target to attack, as long as he couldn't find the innkeeper, he could push the second case onto the innkeeper.

God help me too!

If this goes on, I will definitely be able to commit the perfect crime!

It works!

It will definitely work!

……

Compared to Kento Toba's momentary confusion, Conan next to him was confused for a longer time.

Is it a pre-determined reasoning puzzle?

but……

Conan turned to look at Qin Zhibo with some confusion, because Qin Zhibo had said long ago that the innkeeper in the car was already dead.

But Qin Zhibo disappeared at this time...

Doesn’t he want to hear Bai Ma Tan’s conclusion?

Or did Qin Zhibo already know that what he said was wrong, so he went to investigate alone?

Qin Zhibo has already started the investigation, and if I don’t investigate now, I will be one step behind him.

Leave now? Or...

After weighing the pros and cons, Conan chose to listen to Hakuba's conclusion first and then make plans.

"Then may I ask how the innkeeper managed to imitate Holmes's resurrection from the dead, and where is he now?"

A childish voice sounded in the crowd, but the logic in the words was extremely clear.

Hakuba looked at Conan and remembered that Conan rushed out as soon as he realized something was wrong.

This kid is a little unusual...

Although he noticed something unusual, Bai Ba Tan didn't delve into it further and replied, "The innkeeper's whole method is this: first, he disappears for a whole day, creating chaos among the crowd and setting the stage for his own appearance."

"At this time, as long as I start the car in the garage, I will definitely attract everyone's attention."

"During the first stage of the car driving towards the cliff, the car maintains a constant and slow speed, which allows some people with strong mobility to confirm that they are sitting in the car."

"The car then suddenly accelerated in order to get away from the people who rushed over to check, so that he could jump out from the other side of the car when it reached a fixed corner."

"At that time, all of our attention was attracted by the car speeding towards the cliff. In addition, we were unable to see the door on the other side from where we were standing, and it was already late at night..."

Hakuba Detective is very confident in the success rate of this technique, because Kaito Kid has been using this magic trick to fool the Japanese police.

Everyone looked surprised, amazed at the "cleverness" of the technique.

The White Horse Detective was very satisfied with the result and continued to reason, "The disadvantage of this method is that if someone continues to chase the accelerating car, they will discover that the boss has jumped out of the car."

As he said this, Hakuba glanced at Conan.

"So, to prevent others from seeing through his tricks, the hotel owner hired someone to ensure that no one would catch up when the car accelerated. Of course, this was also to avoid any danger..."

"In other words, Qin Zhibo is actually the hostel owner's hired agent to perform."

As soon as Bai Matan said this, everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

"So this is ah!"

"We almost got tricked!"

A group of people were chattering, but only Conan frowned, still thinking about the feasibility of this method.

It seemed feasible, but something didn't feel right.

The most strange thing was when Qin Zhibo said the innkeeper was dead. That unquestionable expression didn't seem like an act...

Who is right after all?

Is it Baima Tan? Or Qin Zhibo?

At this moment, a voice appeared behind the crowd.

"I just checked the garage and the second floor and found that another car in the garage had been vandalized. The landline phone in the hotel owner's bedroom and the mobile phones I confiscated from you were also vandalized. I think the murderer wants to kill more people."

"But the murderer probably didn't expect that my mobile phone had not been confiscated, so I will call the police now."

Qin Zhibo picked up the phone and dialed 110.

However... no signal.

Qin Zhibo sighed. As expected, the Snowstorm Villa mode in this world could not be avoided once it started, as if it was fate.

Looking at Qin Zhibo's series of operations, everyone's eyes were full of surprise, and they repeated the techniques just now to Qin Zhibo.

What these people meant was that they already knew the truth and asked Qin Zhibo to stop performing.

After hearing this inference, Qin Zhibo was stunned for two seconds, and then asked -

"Whose clever mind came up with this trick?"

The white horse in the crowd heard the adjective "very smart" and smiled slightly.

This is obviously a boast about one's own wisdom!

It means that you have uncovered the truth!

Although I already have a copy of the first edition of "A Study in Scarlet", I don't mind having another copy.

Then Bai Ma took a step forward, showing a confident and proud expression like someone preparing to step onto the championship podium.

“I’m the smart one.”

Is it you who is so smart?

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression as if he was looking at a weirdo.

Obviously, Bai Ma Tan didn't know that in another world, "very smart" is a derogatory term.

Chapter 288 The bluffing detective?

"Oh……"

Qin Zhibo nodded calmly and reasoned, "If the innkeeper is someone like Kaito Kidd, then the method you mentioned might be carried out."

"But the innkeeper was a portly man, as could easily be seen from his tight Sherlock Holmes costume."

"Given his size, it's absolutely impossible for him to jump out of the car while it's accelerating without anyone noticing."

"And when the car started just now, no one jumped out of the car."

"Isn't that right, Conan?"

Qin Zhibo threw the conversation to Conan, who was stunned by this sudden opportunity to show off, but then nodded.

"I didn't see anyone jumping out of the car..."

Conan was not completely agreeing with Qin Zhibo, but gave this testimony after recalling it.

Just now he was completely shocked by Bai Ma Tan's momentum, and most people agreed with this reasoning.

As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger", Conan was also worried that he would be deceived by the trick, so he did not say what he was thinking for a while.

But in comparison, Qin Zhibo could speak out his thoughts without any concern.

It seems that there is still a gap between me and Qin Zhibo...

On the other side, Hakuba, who was slapped in the face, looked at the "Kaito Kidd" in front of him, and the muscles on his face trembled.

This person is so bold that he actually uses himself as an example...

"Then let me ask, why were you able to tell that the people in the car were dead when you were chasing it?"

Before Qin Zhibo could answer, Bai Ma Tan asked and answered himself.

“There are only two possible reasons for this…

"A. You are the innkeeper's accomplice. You fabricated this lie to prevent this little boy named Conan from chasing the car and getting into danger."

"B. You are the murderer of the innkeeper..."

In Bai Ma Tan's imagination, Qin Zhibo would unknowingly fall into his own language trap, and in order not to be suspected, he would be forced to choose a and explain his motives for appearing here.

Although the truth may be as Qin Zhibo said, the hotel owner really did not jump out of the car.
