Conan Rick's Investigator

But this does not prevent the fact that this is a pre-designed reasoning test. It's just that someone pretended to be serious and made the innkeeper really fall off the cliff.

But Bai Ma Tan miscalculated again...

"I chose C. At that time, I did judge that the innkeeper was dead..."

"When the innkeeper sat in the car, his body didn't shake even when the road was bumpy, and his hands kept a tight grip on the steering wheel."

"Because by then the innkeeper's body was already in a state of rigor mortis."

"A corpse will begin to stiffen between 30 minutes and 2 hours, and will be completely stiff between 9 and 12 hours. It will remain stiff for the next 30 hours, and then gradually soften..."

"It takes 70 hours after death for the body to return to its original state."

As a former FBI agent, with the added benefit of medical skills, Qin Zhibo was able to easily convey this information.

"It's obvious that the murderer used the rigid rules of the corpse to devise some kind of trick..."

As he spoke, Qin Zhibo turned to Conan and asked, "Did you see anything unusual in the car?"

Conan held his chin in thought for a moment, "There's a piece of white cloth covering the dashboard, and I seem to hear a faint whirring sound..."

Above Conan's head, a white investigation point flashed, indicating that there was key information in what Conan said.

If there are subtitles at this time, they will be the ones with darker colors.

The white cloth covering the dashboard, the strange whirring sound...

Qin Zhibo held his chin up in thought, and suddenly realized something. He lowered his head and followed the tire tracks of the car towards the edge of the cliff.

The crowd that was chattering just now suddenly became quiet, and everyone's attention, including Hakuba Tan and Conan, was attracted by Qin Zhibo.

Hakuba Detective: "Kaito Kidd" is trying to solve the case!

Conan: No! I have to keep up with him!

In this way, two figures, one big and one small, began to search along the car tire tracks.

Hakuba Tan also got some inspiration from Conan's words just now. He took out an exaggerated magnifying glass from his pocket and started searching together.

However, what Conan and Hakuba Tan don't know is that Qin Zhibo is looking for something abstract and cannot be captured by ordinary people.

Investigation point!

At the end of the car tire tracks, Qin Zhibo saw a ray of light.

Qin Zhibo ran over quickly and found the expected investigation point.

【Survey√】

[No air conditioning condensation water was found along the path the car passed.]

The investigation point has been completed, but in fact this was an investigation point that Qin Zhibo had already expected.

However, if you find the investigation point directly, you don’t have to lie on the ground and search carefully like Conan and Hakuba.

Conan and Hakuba, who were inspired, were still searching along the car tire tracks, while Qin Zhibo had already started making an announcement on the other side.

"Everyone, I have an announcement!"

"Everyone, follow me!"

"I already know how this whole trick was carried out, and the murderer is one of us!"

"But since you are all Sherlock Holmes fans, I have decided to give you a chance to redeem yourself."

"Only tonight, I will wait for your confession..."

Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, Qin Zhibo calmly left with his hands in his pockets.

After a few seconds, Ma Chengshi finally reacted and quickly chased after him, "Mr. Qin, do you really know who the murderer is?"

"Well, of course."

"I'm curious, could you tell me a little bit?"

"Then I'll only reveal a little bit..."

The two people's voices gradually faded away, and the remaining people were left there.

The surprise on Bai Matan's face quickly faded, and he murmured, "Is he bluffing? Or..."

Now, Bai Ma Tan has been persuaded by Qin Zhibo to give up his previous idea and accept the fact that the innkeeper is indeed dead.

However, Bai Ma Detective still had doubts about Qin Zhibo's ability to solve the murder method and the murderer's identity so quickly.

After all, he only had a slight clue so far, knowing that the white cloth on the dashboard was probably covering something.

At this time, Conan next to him said in a serious voice: "That's not bluffing. From what I know about him, he really knows the truth."

Bai Ma Tan: “…”

Glancing at the elementary school student wearing glasses beside him, Bai Ma Tan felt even more weird.

He spoke like an adult, and although he was just an elementary school student, he acted as if he had known Qin Zhibo for several years.

At the same time, Kento Toba was also watching Conan and talking, but Kento Toba's thoughts were not only on this weird kid with glasses.

The detective already knows the truth!

He's not bluffing!

No!

We must get rid of him before he tells the truth!

Chapter 289 "Ambiguous Justice"

After returning to the hotel with Ma Chengshi, Qin Zhibo sent Ma Chengshi to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.

After all, I am providing the murderer with an opportunity to attack me, how can I do that with someone around?

In fact, when Qin Zhibo saw the car falling off the cliff, he received the task from the system.

Side quest: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit 1 hour

Task reward: 500 general skill proficiency, 140 social credit

-

According to Qin Zhibo's speculation, the murderer not only killed the hotel owner and planned the trap, but also destroyed the transportation and communication equipment here, indicating that the murderer intended to continue killing.

At present, Qin Zhibo does not know who the murderer is, but he has indeed completely figured out the method by which he murdered the hotel owner.

Although he didn't have the help of "Xiao Hei", Qin Zhibo now had an intelligence of 75, coupled with the support of investigation skills and medical skills, he was able to easily solve this trick.

However, this method is not exclusive, and theoretically anyone in the hotel can do it.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo decided to turn the murderer's target to himself so that he could learn the murderer's identity more conveniently.

Not only that, doing so can invisibly save the life of another target of the murderer.

When it comes to saving lives, Qin Zhibo has always adhered to "ambiguous justice."

I will not save everyone like a saint, nor will I give up on everyone like a devil.

Or from another perspective, Qin Zhibo believes in the saying "Everyone has their own destiny."

If a person is a heinous criminal, he will get his comeuppance one day.

You can't hide from the consequences, especially in this vindictive Mihua Town...

So in some everyday cases, even if Qin Zhibo first determined from a person's personality that he would be the next victim, he would not remind him to be careful with his words and actions, or simply act as his personal bodyguard...

Since he would eventually become the earth's nutrients, he might as well make a contribution to his system mission...

In this case, Qin Zhibo's act of saving a dying person will not reduce Qin Zhibo's mission benefits.

Because as long as it is the same murderer, there will only be one mission.

For example, in the case of Yoshika Yoshii, the person who killed Nikaido was Takashi Ikeeda, and the person who killed Yoshika Yoshii was the old housekeeper who hired "Silver Fox".

Although the motivation is the same, this situation is two tasks.

In the Blue Castle case, Mutsumi Nishikawa killed not only the old lady of the Mamiya family, but also her daughter and a dozen or so servants and housekeepers who accompanied her.

She killed a lot of people, but the mission was not doubled, it was still just one mission.

So no matter whether the murderer in this Sherlock Holmes journey can create another victim, as long as the murderer is the same person, the mission reward will only be given once.

In addition, the mission time is only one hour, so Qin Zhibo must use this method to solve the mystery of who the murderer is as quickly as possible.

Of course, if the next investigation point can provide more interesting content, that would be another matter...

……

Qin Zhibo went to the second floor of the hotel to continue searching for the investigation point.

After the incident, Qin Zhibo searched the innkeeper's bedroom, but had not yet searched the study.

The investigation point for the case will only appear after the system's task is released, so Qin Zhibo plans to re-enter the study to search again.

Qin Zhibo took a quick glance and saw a book on the table.

In "Research on Green Letters", Qin Zhibo saw a clear investigation point.

【Survey√】

This is a book

There is nothing commendable in the survey description, which shows that this survey point is a motivation-based survey point.

In other words, this book is the motive for the murderer in this case.

Qin Zhibo remembered that Fujisawa Toshiaki said that he published this book for the hotel owner. Could he be the murderer?

But if that is the case, why did he reveal his relationship to the book?

Qin Zhibo did not jump to conclusion, but took the book "Research on Green Letters" in his hand and began to read.

……

On the first floor of the hotel, Bai Ma Tan returned to his room and used his own phone to call again, but just as Qin Zhibo said, the call could not be connected.

This is strange. I was talking to Ah Fu on the phone yesterday...

However, Hakuba Tan does not think that he is completely trapped here, because as soon as the travel time is over, Afu will drive to pick him up.

What Baima Detective is more concerned about now is the case.

This case is different from any other case handled by White Horse detectives in the UK.

Whether in the UK or Japan, Baiba Detective can easily obtain police search information and dig deep into the information to make inferences from some unexpected points of view.

But this time it is a hard-core reasoning at the crime scene. Not to mention the police's information, even the police don't have it. There is only a murder mystery designed by the murderer with trickery, which makes Hakuba Detective not quite used to it.

What Bai Ba Tan never expected was that someone would dare to kill someone in front of him, a famous detective.

very good!

You succeeded in inspiring me...

In the living room, Conan, like Hakuba Tan, was looking at the cliff outside the window, thinking hard.

The white cloth covering the dashboard, the sound of the wind inside the car, the stiff body...

There must be some meaning to this, but what exactly is it?

Now Conan urgently needs a flash of inspiration with a "boom" sound to connect these clues, but his inspiration is not so active today.

Other Sherlock Holmes fans in the living room sat on both sides of the table, also discussing the "truth" mentioned by Qin Zhibo.

Some of these people mentioned the dummy theory, believing that the hotel owner used a dummy and that the whole case was still a test of reasoning.

Some people also mentioned that autonomous driving might be achieved by using the world's most advanced car control software.

This scene is a bit like the scene in "Sherlock Holmes" where after Holmes jumped to his death, his admirers gathered together to discuss the various possibilities that Holmes is still alive.

At this time, Ma Chengshi brought coffee corresponding to the number of people from the kitchen and placed it on the table.

The waitress apologized that this was probably her job, but Masashi smiled and said it was nothing.

It was already late at night, and everyone, including Conan, drank a cup of coffee to refresh themselves. In the end, only one cup was left untouched.
