Conan Rick's Investigator

However, even though Qin Zhibo held Conan in his arms, no one noticed Conan for a while after the car drove away.

It wasn't until Conan asked what Mrs. Masuo said on the phone that everyone's attention was attracted.

Officer Sato looked at Conan sitting in Qin Zhibo's arms in the rearview mirror and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Qin, did you take care of this child?"

Qin Zhibo nodded. "Yes, he's my mascot. With him around, I can solve cases faster."

Qin Zhibo smiled and touched Conan's head. In order to get to the scene of the incident smoothly, Conan could only obediently respond with a mascot-specific smile.

In fact, Qin Zhibo brought Conan here because he really treated Conan as a mascot, the kind of "mascot" that can definitely find the dead buff.

Although the system has prompted that there is a case, Qin Zhibo chose to bring Conan along for the sake of caution.

Qin was afraid that Conan would not die, so he took Conan to his house...

Keizo Masuo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced back and secretly observed Qin Zhibo who was holding Conan.

He had planned to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to find a police officer to serve as his alibi, but he didn't expect that the famous detective would also come!

As we all know, detectives in this world are generally better than police officers at solving cases.

Keizao Masuo felt somewhat relieved that he had just timed the murder perfectly, allowing the police to hear his wife's screams.

But now, Keizao Masuo felt a bit bitter inside.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Now that the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back. I can only hope that my method is clever enough to escape the eyes of the famous detective.

I've tried that trick hundreds of times! As long as we follow the designed process, we'll definitely be able to deceive detectives and the police!

I can do it!

Keizao Masuo clenched his hands slightly, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Sato, who was sitting in the driver's seat, didn't notice the change in Keizao Masuo's expression, but was thinking about Conan.

Miwako Sato: What role can a primary school student play?

Officer Sato, who had not witnessed Conan's "bravery" with his own eyes, was a little puzzled by Qin Zhibo's statement, but time was running out and there was no time for further discussion.

"Don't bite your tongue, kid!"

Officer Sato stepped on the accelerator, and the car engine let out a shrill scream.

……

A red Mazda sports car came speeding and stopped in front of Masuo's house.

Keizao Masuo walked in front and opened the door. He symbolically shouted twice at the entrance and then began his performance.

"Two officers and the detective, go upstairs and look. I'll go to the living room and check..."

Sato, who was extremely active, immediately ran upstairs with Takagi. Qin Zhibo also pretended to go upstairs, but stopped in front of the stairs.

Qin Zhibo glanced in the direction of the half-open living room door and saw a white light behind the door.

It’s the light of the investigation points, and there are a lot of them!

Qin Zhibo walked down the stairs, came to the door of the living room and pushed it open.

……

At this time, Keizao Masuo was skillfully propping up the bookshelf with the help of hundreds of practice, and stacking the books scattered on the ground under the bookshelf as quickly as possible.

fast!

Hurry up, the police will be here soon!

Keizao Masuo urged himself to act in his heart, and his hands and feet became more and more nimble.

But at this moment, a cough was heard at the door.

"Cough cough..."

"If you want to clean up the room, you have to wait until the police finish investigating this place..."

The terrifying sound seemed to come from the underworld, frightening Zeng Wei Guizo so much that his tiger body trembled and he fell to the ground.

Shit! I've been discovered!

Keizao Masuo's heart was pounding, but this situation was actually within his expectations, so he reacted immediately and switched to performance mode.

"Kayo! Kayo!"

"What's wrong with you? Kayo!"

Keizao Masuo anxiously called out his wife's name, which alarmed Sato and Takagi upstairs, as well as Conan who was searching for clues in the corridor.

"lady!"

Zuo Teng hurried over to feel the pulse of the woman lying on the ground, but from the gleaming dagger stuck in her back, he knew that she was dead.

Sato ordered Takagi to call the forensic doctor and the identification personnel, while Keizao Masuo walked to Qin Zhibo and explained his previous behavior.

"I wanted to see what was under the bookshelf, so I lifted it up, and the books too..."

Qin Zhibo waved his hand, "You don't need to explain..."

"Explanation is cover-up, cover-up is fact."

Masuo Keizao: “…”

Leaving the suspected murderer aside, Qin Zhibo walked to the woman and started investigating the body.

-

With the acquisition of a brand new skill, if Qin Zhibo falls into the water, at least he will not experience the feeling of being "submerged in water and at a loss".

In addition to the corpse investigation, Qin Zhibo looked around and saw that there were investigation points everywhere.

A crime scene with a small environment like this is exactly what Qin Zhibo needs to investigate.

He had already determined the murderer's identity in his mind, and since this was a question of proof, Qin Zhibo only needed to figure out the method and find evidence.

Chapter 299: I’m protecting Conan, so what?

Conan strolled through the crime scene, investigating the case as if he were strolling in a garden, and silently summarized several doubts in his mind:

Just now, Conan's attention was attracted by the circular gap cut in the corridor window, but he did not fail to notice the situation in the living room.

Qin Zhibo seemed to see what Mr. Zengwei was doing when he entered the room?

And normal people wouldn't attack someone holding a phone, especially if the person on the other end of the line is a police officer...

Next, Mr. Masuo has been very concerned about time since entering the police station, even staring at his watch when making phone calls.

Based on past experience, Conan has listed Keizao Masuo as the first suspect.

The reason why he is only suspected and has not been confirmed as a suspect is because the expression management of the suspect this time is at the level of an Oscar winner. He burst into tears and cried extremely sadly when facing the death of his wife.

Conan's wise eyes swept across the scene and unconsciously fell on Qin Zhibo.

At this time, Qin Zhibo was standing on the sports bike next to the corpse, looking at the pedals of the bike.

Conan frowned, feeling a little confused.

Is there anything worth noting about the pedals on an exercise bike?

Conan was about to take a step forward to take a look, but his expression suddenly froze and he stopped.

No!

I have decided not to rely on Qin Zhibo anymore and to do my best to deduce the truth of the case!

Conan suppressed the urge to glance at the correct answer, and forced his gaze to focus on the corpse on the ground, reasoning according to his own thoughts.

In order to avoid being disturbed by Qin Zhibo's actions, Conan even squatted on the ground to narrow his vision.

Just like that, what was originally an open-book exam to prove the murderer, with the humanoid self-propelled investigation point collector, Qin Zhibo, present, was turned into a closed-book exam by Conan.

……

Qin Zhibo's investigation progressed by leaps and bounds, because the site was so small that all the investigation points could be seen at a glance.

First, on the body of the corpse, Qin Zhibo discovered the first investigation point.

【Survey√】

[The deceased had sweat secreted during his lifetime on his body, which means he might have been doing some strenuous exercise when he died.]

Qin Zhibo took a look at the exercise bike next to him and knew that strenuous exercise must refer to cycling.

And on the pedal of the exercise bike, Qin Zhibo saw the second investigation point.

【Survey√】

The pedal's shaft is wrapped with silk thread, and there's a loop at one end. It's probably being placed on something to create a chain reaction.

Qin Zhibo didn't need to squat down to take a closer look to know the situation of the silk thread wrapped around it.

Considering that Masuo Keizo quietly went to support the fallen bookshelf as soon as he entered the room, and wanted to put all the books scattered on the ground back on the bookshelf, Qin Zhibo guessed that the silk thread should be used to move the bookshelf.

And on the bookshelf, Qin Zhibo saw the third investigation point.

【Survey√】

[There's some blood on the top shelf. The blood hasn't changed color yet, indicating it was left recently.]

After three investigation points, Qin Zhibo had a general understanding of the methods used in this case.

But there are more investigation points. There is another investigation point on a large booklet with a red cover on the bookshelf.

【Survey√】

【This is a photo album】

Qin Zhibo walked over and took the photo album in his hand. When he opened it, he saw that some people in some photos were circled in red.

This is a motivation-based investigation point, and the people marked in red circles should all be related to the motive for murder.

Combined with the recent 2 million bank robbery that Keizo Masuo worked for, and the fact that a fortress is always breached from the inside, Qin Zhibo has grasped the whole truth.

At this moment, the police captain who was sent to the scene of the murder case also arrived.

But this time it’s not the usual Inspector Megure, but the promoted Shiratori Rensaburo.

"Inspector Shiratori..."

Takagi Wataru was stunned for a moment, and Officer Shiratori immediately corrected him: "I am no longer a deputy inspector. I just received a notice from the higher-ups that I will be promoted to inspector from today on."

The Japanese police's professional group starts at the rank of inspector general. Shiratori belongs to the professional group. If he moves up one level, he will become inspector general.

However, when talking about Shiratori Renzaburo's promotion experience, even Shiratori himself was confused.

Last time, after I went on a trip to Karuizawa during my break, my colleagues told me that I had done a great job when I came back.

Not only did he noble enough to sacrifice his vacation time to come back to work, he also successfully protected the "Egg of Memory" from the international killer Stephen Chow.

Although Shiratori repeatedly explained that it was not his credit, his colleagues thought he was being modest.

Then not long after today, I officially received the promotion notice from above.

Although he was a little confused, it was certainly good to get a promotion, as it would make it easier for him to pursue his dream lover, Officer Sato.

As soon as he entered the scene, Shiratori began to express his views on the case.
