Conan Rick's Investigator

Hattori Heiji's tone was casual, and Conan didn't take this small favor to heart. He pushed the door open and went out to look for cold medicine.

But after the dinner, the Takeda family became deserted again.

The eldest son of the Takeda family was working alone in the puppet room, the second son was missing, the third son was taking a nap alone, and Robert drove out.

Conan walked around the yard and found that the old lady of the Takeda family's room was very lively.

As I walked to the porch, I overheard the conversation in the room.

……

Inside the room, Mao Lilan was smiling and explaining to the two little loli, "'Go to hell', also known as the word 'shi ne', does not have a completely literal meaning depending on the context in which it is used."

"If it's between two close people, 'go die' can be a joke."

"That's what they say: spanking is love, scolding is affection..."

"Of course, you have to be very close to someone to make such a joke~"

Toyama Kazuha on the side lowered her head and a blush appeared on her face, because what Mouri Ran said was equivalent to announcing that she and Heiji had a very close relationship.

Seriously~ What if Heiji hears this...

Conan, who was hiding at the door and watching quietly, recalled that when he was still Kudo Shinichi, he mocked Uncle Mori for not being able to get any commissions because of his poor skills, and Mori Ran also scolded him to "go to hell".

Not only does he say "go to hell", sometimes he would also use his fists that could smash telephone poles to kill himself.

So, Xiaolan thinks I'm very close to her...

A blush appeared on Conan's face.

After hearing what Mao Lilan said, the two little girls, Sae and Emi, looked at each other thoughtfully, then turned to Takeda Yoko and asked, "Mom, are Robert and Sister Misa considered close?"

Takeda Yoko was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "Maybe... During that time, it was Misa who took care of Robert. Misa seemed very happy at that time..."

The two little girls suddenly realized and said in unison: "Then we must apologize to Robert! Robert was actually expressing his love to Sister Misa."

The children's thinking process was so fast that the adults were full of questions.

Takeda Yoko quickly asked, "What are you talking about?"

Under her mother's questioning, the little girl said to her mother that when Robert left here three years ago, Misa asked them to chase him to the station to ask about his feelings.

At that time, Robert wrote "shine" on the reply note.

"Beating is love, scolding is love. Robert's 'die' is a way of expressing his love to Sister Misa, right?"

"Yep!"

"Go to hell! Huiwei!"

"Yeah! You die too! Sae!"

The two little Zaun lolis smiled and exchanged "love greetings" with each other, which made Takeda Yoko feel troubled. For a moment, she didn't know how to educate her daughter who was gradually becoming "Zuan-like".

As a Hawaiian, Qin Zhibo gave a professional explanation at this time.

"Shine means to shine in English. Robert is American, so he probably meant that Misa's personality charisma shines..."

While saying this, Qin Zhibo was also thinking.

It is certain that Robert has a good impression of Takeda Misa.

In addition, when I met Robert on the mountain today, he was mourning in front of Takeda Misa's grave. But when he came to Takeda's house, he pretended to have just learned that Takeda Misa had passed away.

So Robert is highly suspicious...

Just then, a call came from the courtyard.

"Hey!"

"Brother? Brother!"

……

What is destined to happen will always happen, especially the death destined by the Death God's elementary school student...

Attracted by Takeda Yuzo's call, everyone searched for Takeda Shinichi's whereabouts at home, and finally found Takeda Shinichi, who was already dead, on the second floor of the warehouse.

Takeda Shinichi's neck was hanging on the rope, with a tangled mess of fishing lines wrapped around his body. His death looked horrific.

As usual, Qin Zhibo walked forward and examined the body from a distance of two meters.

-

While Qin Zhibo was conducting his investigation silently, Hattori Heiji also calmly revealed his identity.

"My name is Hattori Heiji, and I'm a relatively well-known detective in Kansai..."

Takeda Ryuji was surprised and said, "I seem to have heard of your deeds. You are a very smart high school detective..."

Hattori Heiji was very proud.

Takeda Yongsan murmured, "I thought it was Mr. Qin's follower, or assistant..."

Hattori Heiji's book is empty.

Conan didn't care about these things. He checked the scene with a wearable device that looked like a watch but was actually a flashlight or possibly an anesthetic needle launcher.

Apart from the warehouse door that was locked from the inside, there was only one ventilation window open, which was only wide enough for a child to squeeze out.

As expected, it was a locked room case. Nowadays, a murderer would feel embarrassed to kill someone if he couldn't create a locked room.

At this moment, Takeda Chie's old voice rang out among the crowd.

"It's the Spider Immortal who's causing all this trouble..."

"She used her eight long legs to hang the child Xinyi as punishment for building a warehouse on top of the Spider Fairy's shrine."

After saying this, Takeda Chie walked away with a staggering step and her hands behind her back.

"Spider Fairy?"

Hattori Heiji and Conan, who had never heard of the legend, expressed their confusion at the same time. Toyama Kazuha acted as the plot promoter for the two and told them the legend.

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji's face showed some disdain.

"Tsk, after all this time it's just a legend, made up by the ancients."

"But this story is really a bit scary..."

Seeing that Toyama Kazuha and Mori Ran still seemed to have some lingering feelings towards him, Hattori Heiji also found an ally for himself.

"Conan, are all stories like this a lie?"

Conan remembered the red remains of an unidentified creature he had seen in the river at the foot of Shanni Temple, as well as the flying skeletons in the secret passage of the blue castle, and felt a little hesitant for a moment.

"Hmm...maybe."

Kudo, you...

Hattori Heiji looked at Conan deeply, and his eyebrows twitched unnaturally.

At this time, Qin Zhibo had quietly completed his investigation of the warehouse and walked away from the two of them.

In the narrow and dim warehouse, Qin Zhibo easily found all the investigation points.

The survey points consist of four thumbtacks and a small loop of fishing line, and the instructions are the same for all surveys. [Interesting...]

If a general systematic investigation says something is intriguing, then it really is intriguing.

As soon as Qin Zhibo walked out of the warehouse, he saw "investigation points" scattered all over the ground.

A dozen or so white dots of light were as dazzling as fireflies crawling among the grass leaves at night, making it impossible for Qin Zhibo to ignore them.

Qin Zhibo walked forward and picked up one of the "investigation points" in the grass.

【Survey√】

[Thought-provoking…]

This is an intriguing BB bullet, the kind shot from a toy gun.

The small bullet lost its luster in Qin Zhibo's hand, which meant that it had lost its value for investigation.

This is followed by a system prompt for the next step.

[Has the investigation of all investigation points at the crime scene been completed? Will a scene reconstruction be conducted?]

Qin Zhibo of course chose to recreate the scene. After all, he had a cheat, so why not use it? What a bastard!

The moment I confirmed my choice in my mind, a "little black" suddenly appeared out of thin air on the grass.

What’s even more amazing is that “Xiao Hei” is actually sitting upright 50cm above the ground, with his body completely suspended in the air.

A pair of big eyes of KISS ME flashed a gloomy light in the night, and the diligent "Little Black" tilted his head at an angle.

He looked back, took out something, pressed his index finger a few times in the direction of the second floor of the warehouse, and then left in a horizontal motion while remaining seated.

[End of reenactment]

This series of actions by "Xiao Hei" is intriguing, but Qin Zhibo, who has already mastered the investigation points, certainly knows what each action means.

The murderer is Robert!

All of "Xiao Hei's" actions were completed while sitting in a car, and from dinner until now, Robert was the only one driving.

Judging from his extremely simple killing process, he had set up some kind of killing mechanism in advance.

However, this mechanism is a bit complicated, and it will take some time to fully restore and explain it.

In order to complete the task as quickly as possible, Qin Zhibo chose to take a "shortcut".

……

In the truck, Robert looked at the "Spider House" with lights flickering faintly a hundred meters ahead, and bit his tongue with the two rows of neat teeth under his lips.

The vague pain cheered Robert up and reminded himself that the next step would be to test his acting skills.

The original journey of finding love turned into a journey of revenge, which was actually completely beyond Robert's plan.

A few days ago, Robert contacted Shinichi Takeda by phone in advance and said that he was going to return to the "Spider House" on Saturday.

But in fact, Robert came several days in advance, wanting to give Takeda Misa a surprise.

But Misa gave him an even bigger surprise.

When he secretly returned that day, the Takeda family happened to be on a group outing, and Negishi, who was the only one left behind at the Takeda family, was high on drugs.

Negishi said that a few days after he left, Misa left a suicide note, and the reason was probably because she was abused by Takeda Shinichi. His words also implied that Misa was insulted by Takeda Shinichi.

At that time, Negishi's eyes were dazed and he laughed with gloating laughter while speaking, which made Robert put the rope around his neck on impulse.

When I came to my senses, Negishi had already passed away.

Robert hurriedly hung Negishi in the warehouse and pretended that he had never been back.

While escaping, Robert also took away a puppet that was hiding drugs, thinking that if the police caught him, he would hand over Shinichi Takeda and let him go to jail.
