Conan Rick's Investigator

At this time, Ayumi on the side also shouted: "This uncle is definitely not a bad person, because he just let me go and said 'I'm sorry' to me."

"An uncle like this can't be a bad guy!"

Looking at the situation in front of him, Sato thought of his father, Sato Masayoshi, who died in the line of duty.

Ever since his father's death, Sato could often feel that sense of loneliness even though his mother was always around.

Zuo Teng could understand this kind of genuine affection between father and daughter.

"What time does the plane take off tomorrow?"

The man replied hesitantly, "12:30 noon, at Narita Airport..."

So he immediately ordered: "Officer Gaomu, you must listen carefully to what I say now."

"You have until tomorrow to find the real murderer and clear Mr. Dongtian's name!"

Gao Mu, who had never investigated a case alone, pointed at his nose somewhat unsurely and asked, "Are you serious? Just me?"

Sato smiled slightly and looked at the young detective team who were already eager to try.

"I think they are all ready to go..."

……

After receiving a call from Xinming Xiang Baoli, Qin Zhibo immediately rushed to Beihu Town.

The crime scene was in an apartment building in Beihu Town, and Qin Zhibo had a general idea of the circumstances.

Basically, the murderer and the victim were in the same secret room, and the murder weapon was stained with fingerprints.

Judging from what the police have investigated, the case is extremely clear.

According to Shinna Xiang Baoli, the people related to the organization have been arrested by the police, and she must solve the entire case before 12 o'clock tomorrow.

The case was solved within a limited timeframe, and Qin Zhibo expressed familiarity with it...

After parking the car downstairs of the apartment building, Qin Zhibo first went to the apartment manager to borrow the apartment key.

It just so happened that the apartment manager was a fan of Qin Zhibo. He recognized the famous detective Qin Zhibo at a glance and happily took Qin Zhibo upstairs to open the door.

Since the police investigation has been completely completed and the room where the victim died has been unsealed, Qin Zhibo entered the room alone to investigate.

-

Side quest: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit 1 hour

Task reward: 400 general skill proficiency, 120 social credits

-

With the triggering of the side quest, some investigation points emitting light appeared in Qin Zhibo's field of vision.

On the wall, Qin Zhibo found the first investigation point.

【Survey√】

[The prints on the wall prove that something was once hung here, so where did it go?]

Qin Zhibo took a closer look at the marks on the wall and found that it was indeed the case.

After a brief search around the room, I found a rolled-up calendar in the closet.

Attach the calendar to the wall for a perfect fit.

Since taking down the calendar is part of the investigation, it means that this action was taken by the murderer.

As for the murderer's purpose...

Qin Zhibo came to the second investigation point to conduct an investigation.

【Survey√】

[The furniture showed signs of having been moved, including a matchbox with a bulging interior.]

Qin Zhibo picked up the matchbox that had fallen on the ground, took out the matches inside, and found a marriage application form inside.

One of the applicants on the marriage application form had the deceased's name written on it, but the other party on the other side did not have their name written on it.

Qin Zhibo couldn't figure out how the murderer could use a matchbox containing an engagement book to kill people, so he could only guess that this should be a motive-based investigation point.

The last survey point was on the balcony of the apartment, where pots of cacti were placed on the floor.

The investigation point, which appeared bright in the night, was on one of the cactus pots.

【Survey√】

[A small amount of blood remains on the cactus's thorns]

Qin Zhibo took out a nuclear lighter and looked carefully. Sure enough, he found a small amount of dark red on the cactus's thorns.

Obviously, this is direct evidence pointing to the murderer.

At this point, Qin Zhibo had already figured out the entire process of the case.

After Qin Zhibo thanked the administrator, he left the apartment building while talking on the phone.

……

At the same time, Takagi and the Junior Detective Team had just finished questioning the izakaya owner and were preparing to go to the apartment building for further investigation.

Everyone came to the management office to borrow the key. In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts and being discovered by the headquarters, Takagi lied that he was a detective and that he had elementary school students under him to do social practice classes.

The administrator looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you here to borrow the key again? Didn't someone come to check on the room where the accident happened half an hour ago?"

Gao Mu and Conan showed surprised expressions and asked quickly: "Who borrowed the key?"

It is normal for the two to be nervous, because if Mr. Higashida is not the real murderer, then it is very likely that the murderer returned to the room to deal with the evidence.

"That's the famous detective, Qin Zhibo..."

Conan: Damn! We're late!

Chapter 318: Substitution

Although Conan lamented in his heart that he was late, it didn't matter if he was late, as long as Qin Zhibo hadn't solved the case...

"Uncle! Can you give us the key now? We need to go in for social practice class!"

Conan brought his cuteness to the extreme, but this time, the apartment manager shook his head for the first time.

"No, kid..."

"Before leaving, Mr. Qin told me not to allow anyone to enter the house until the police come to take away the important evidence..."

Important evidence!

Has Qin Zhibo found any important evidence?

Conan widened his eyes in surprise. He never expected Qin Zhibo to move so quickly.

Gao Mu, who was standing nearby, scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Why would Mr. Qin handle this case?"

Could it be that the police headquarters found some suspicious aspects in this case and therefore commissioned Mr. Qin to conduct further investigation?

Gao Mu quickly turned on the phone and was about to make a call when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Takagi!"

Takagi looked back and saw Shiratori Renzaburo, with his neatly combed hair, slowly getting out of the car.

"As soon as I saw your back, I knew it was you, Takagi..."

"Shiratori Police Department!"

Seeing his colleagues at this moment, Gao Mu felt a little panicked. After all, he was investigating the case without telling his superiors while escorting a prisoner.

Officer Shiratori saw the Junior Detective Team next to Takagi and frowned when he saw Conan, "Takagi, the headquarters has already solved the murder case of Muranishi Mami, what are you still doing here?"

"Solved?" Takagi asked in surprise.

"Yes." Shiratori nodded. "The real murderer is actually Mr. Kitagawa, a friend of Mr. Higashida and the first person to discover the body, and Muranishi Mami's boyfriend."

"He killed someone because Miss Muranishi was forcing him to marry her, and he put the blame on Mr. Higashida."

"According to Mr. Qin's reasoning, Beichuan has already confessed his guilt and accepted the punishment. I came here to retrieve a key piece of evidence from the apartment."

As Shiratori spoke, he showed his police handbook to the apartment manager.

"I haven't asked you yet. The headquarters has been waiting for you and Officer Sato to bring Mr. Toda over to clear up the misunderstanding. Why haven't you come yet?"

In this situation, Takagi could only report everything to Shiratori about his investigation.

Shiratori looked surprised, but then calmed down.

"Fortunately, the case was investigated quickly, otherwise the Beihu Art Museum would have been demolished by blasting tomorrow..."

……

The case was successfully solved, and Inspector Megure led his men to find Inspector Sato and Higashida who were handcuffed in the Haido Art Museum.

Officer Sato first went to the next bathroom to resolve the problem of excessive bladder pressure, and then found Officer Takagi.

"I know everything about the case. It was Mr. Qin who solved it, right?"

Gao Mu, who suffered a "Waterloo" in his first solo case, lowered his head and said "Yi".

Conan next to him was also in a very low mood.

When following Officer Shiratori into the apartment to collect evidence, Conan completely understood the method of the case based on the layout of the room and Shiratori's spoilers about the real murderer.

The real murderer, Kitagawa, took advantage of Mr. Higashida being drunk the day before and sent him to Miss Muranishi's apartment room, and asked Mr. Higashida to lock the door himself, turning the scene into a secret room.

Beichuan had also decorated this room in advance.

After killing Miss Muranishi, he decorated his room to look similar to Mr. Higashida's room, so that the drunk Mr. Higashida would think he was back in his room and sleep peacefully.

As for the evidence, the real murderer Beichuan accidentally pricked his finger when he was moving the cactus to the balcony, and blood remained on the sharp thorns.

And that pot of cactus happened to be given to Miss Muranishi by the tavern owner the day before, so there should be no sign of Kitagawa's blood on it.

The method of this case is very simple, and Conan is confident that he can solve it in a very short time.

But unexpectedly, Qin Zhibo got there first.

However, Officer Shiratori also said that the headquarters did not ask Qin Zhibo to re-investigate the case.

So how did Qin Zhibo know about the case?

Conan held his chin in his hand, lost in thought.

……

From Haido Hotel, take a taxi directly to Narita Airport.

In the airport lobby, Dongtian was about to check in when someone called out his name.

Dongtian looked back and saw a man in a brown windbreaker.

"Excuse me, are you..."

Qin Zhibo introduced himself: "My name is Qin Zhibo, and I'm the detective who solved the case yesterday."

Dong Tian suddenly realized, "So it's Mr. Qin! Thank you for clearing my suspicion yesterday, so that I can see my daughter today."

"No, no..." Qin Zhibiao said briefly and got to the point.

"Excuse me, are you going to Arkham, USA?"

Dongtian nodded, "Yes, is there any problem?"

"Well, I have an old friend in Arkham Asylum named Danvers, who should be over 90 years old this year."

"If it's convenient, I'd like you to find out if my friend is still alive."

Dongtian was stunned for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and then agreed: "Of course, of course..."

"Then please."

Qin Zhibo shook hands with Dongtian and said goodbye, then watched Dongtian get his boarding pass and disappear at the end of the security check passage.

Qin Zhibo's calculations are as follows -
