Conan Rick's Investigator

……

Kogoro Mouri is still arguing with Makoto Akutsu.

"You were the one who killed Mr. Maruden, and then in order to frame the kendo master, Mr. Suwa, you left the room full of knife marks, making it look like two kendo masters had engaged in a fierce fight."

"But you made two mistakes!"

"First, you can't bear to harm a carving that's more important than your own life!"

"Also, you're an amateur in swordsmanship. You put the knife in the dead man's hand with your front and back hands mixed up!"

Kogoro Mouri confidently stated his reasoning, selectively ignoring what he had just discovered with Conan's reminder, which was that no one would ever leave traces of a fight on the ceiling.

Even if Mr. Akutsu is stupid, he should be able to notice this, right?

Conan rolled his eyes at Mouri Kogoro, but other than that, Conan couldn't find any other loopholes in Mouri Kogoro's reasoning.

At this time, Conan thought of the most classic method to solve the three-choice problem, the elimination method.

Besides Akutsu, the other two options are Dr. Hatano and Mr. Suwa.

Dr. Hatano is a weak person. Even when his family member has died, he dare not take the initiative to admit that he and his wife had an affair in order to dispel the police's suspicion of him.

Would such a person dare to kill people?

Mr. Suwa seems to be a hidden talent, but he is also a master of kendo and has the ability to easily kill the dead.

But he should not make the mistakes in holding the sword that only amateurs in kendo would make.

But what if he just wants to use this method to clear himself of suspicion?

Conan's mind was in a mess, and he always felt that he was missing something crucial to see the truth behind this case.

That key thing will be accompanied by a flash of lightning in the brain.

Yes! It was a flash of inspiration!

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, but that one percent inspiration is especially important.

This statement is particularly accurate when applied to Conan.

At this time, Conan knew that he had reached a bottleneck and urgently needed a "lightning bolt" to stimulate his brain.

Just as Conan was turning his head to look for "lightning", he finally noticed Qin Zhibo who was fiddling with the chest of drawers in the corner of the room.

Qin Zhibo pulled out the drawers one by one, and then put them back in a certain order.

Every time he pulled out a few drawers, Qin Zhibo took two steps back to look at the entire drawer cabinet.

After Qin Zhibo had restored all the drawers, Conan's "Lightning" also came.

Katcha!

This is!

Conan stared at the chest of drawers. Not only that, Maori and others next to him also noticed the "business" that Qin Zhibo had completed quietly.

This time, not only Conan's brain was "lightning", but everyone who could read at the scene had a cerebral orgasm.

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

Because there was a big fake name engraved on the chest of drawers.

すわ……

Suwa!

After everyone confirmed that the twisted mark, which was clearly different from the surrounding sharp knife marks, was engraved with the word "Suwa", they all turned their eyes to Suwa Yuji.

Suwa Yuji never expected that the trick he had used to get away with the crime, which he was secretly congratulating himself on, would soon be completely accepted by the police and the detective who had recently become famous.

The next moment, the thing that worried me the most happened silently.

Is this what it means to go from heaven to hell?

That drawer cabinet contained the death message that Maruden Jiro had engraved with all his strength before his death. At that time, Suwa Yuji was listening to the recording of Akutsu Makoto who happened to call him.

By the time Suwa Yuji, who had forgotten to finish off the opponent, looked back, it was too late.

However, Suwa Yuji suddenly had an idea and designed a whole set of tricks in a short period of time to get rid of suspicion.

But he didn't expect that his trick was quietly cracked by another detective who appeared out of nowhere.

If I had known this would happen, I would have burned it all down!

I hate myself for choosing to pawn my family heirloom sword to an unscrupulous businessman because I was short of money.

I hate myself for not finishing off the enemy in time after killing him.

I hated myself for not burning everything cleanly and leaving clues for future generations to reason about.

All kinds of regrets were entangled in his heart, causing Suwa Yuji to suddenly flash and grab the decorative knife that the forensic officer had just broken off from the corpse's hand.

He drew his sword and chopped it down in one smooth motion, aiming directly at Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo was also very surprised to see Suwa Yuji suddenly attack, but the next moment, his body also reacted.

Qin Zhibo raised his hands, and at a certain moment his palms suddenly closed together, just enough to clamp Suwa Yuji's falling blade.

The famous scene appeared!

Take the sword with your bare hands!

Chapter 36 No wonder...

At this moment, it seems as if time has stopped.

Suwa Yuji's narrowed eyes widened, and he didn't hide the surprise in his eyes at all.

This single strike of the sword had already used 60% of his strength as a seventh-degree kendo master, and this was also the maximum strength he could use to retract the sword just when it hit the opponent's scalp.

But this was definitely not a sharp blow that could be easily caught by anyone's hands.

But Qin Zhibo took the blow steadily.

A proud and lonely swordsman who swam freely in the sea once said: The wound on the back is the swordsman's shame.

But for a kendo master like Suwa Yuji, being attacked by a sword with bare hands is the greatest humiliation of all.

At this time, Qin Zhibo maintained control of the samurai sword with both hands, and with a twist of his arms to the side, he snatched the samurai sword from the stunned Suwa Yuji.

Without the samurai sword, Suwa Yuji was left with only the empty scabbard in his other hand. Inspector Megure next to him reacted quickly.

"Get him quickly!"

The surrounding police rushed forward and pinned Suwa Yuji down.

When the police handcuffed Suwa Yuji and pulled him up from the ground, he did not immediately follow the police away, but stood there stubbornly.

"Mr. Policeman, please allow me to say my final goodbye to this detective."

Megure nodded in agreement to Suwa Yuji's request.

Because the more humane Megure knows that today's farewell will be forever.

Not to mention the first murder he committed, if Qin Zhibo had not blocked his attack when he drew his knife just now, it would have been another murder.

Moreover, it was a vicious case of murder under the noses of the police.

Even if Qin Zhibo caught the knife with his bare hands, it would at least be an attempted murder.

The two crimes are cumulative, and even if it is not the death penalty, it will be life imprisonment.

As for whether Suwa Yuji just wanted to scare Qin Zhibo, Megure didn't even think about this possibility.

On this side, Suwa Yuji stood straight.

"Seeing my sword approaching, he was able to calmly catch it and take it away."

"You are the real detective."

"Whether it's strategy or force, I'm defeated by you..."

Suwa Yuji bowed deeply to Qin Zhibo, then turned and followed the police away.

……

Suwa Yuji left, and the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief.

Suwa Yuji's lightning-fast attack just now really surprised everyone, even the karate master Xiaolan was surprised.

Ran Mouri and the others asked themselves, if Suwa Yuji had suddenly attacked them at that speed just now, they would not have been able to catch the samurai sword as cleanly as Qin Zhibo.

He would only break the samurai sword with one palm, and then break a few of the opponent's ribs.

When Conan saw what Qin Zhibo had done just now, he had more opinions about Qin Zhibo.

That skill must be some kind of kung fu...

But what exactly is it?

Conan flipped through the Kung Fu encyclopedia in his mind, but couldn't find any information about this mysterious Kung Fu.

Qin Zhibo, who was standing in front, was confirming the reward he had just received for completing the side quest.

[Congratulations on completing the side mission]

[Task settlement rating: B]

[Acquire 300 general skill proficiency]

[Get 120 social credits]

[Rating Reward: 100 General Skill Proficiency]

The time to complete the task is still somewhat limited this time, with only thirteen minutes left in the one-hour task limit.

But in Qin Zhibo's sense of time, it would take no more than half an hour from the time he received the task to the time the murderer was brought to justice.

The time in this world is so strange...

However, after what happened just now, Qin Zhibo became more determined to follow Matthew's lead.

Matthew, that is, practicing Krav Maga.

Krav Maga, also known as Israeli martial arts, is a system of unarmed combat established by the famous Israeli martial artist Imi in the 60s.

Compared to general fighting techniques, Krav Maga is more defensive, allowing users to effectively defend themselves when their lives are threatened.

Therefore, Krav Maga, with its technical moves including eye gouging and crotch kicks, is one of the most brutal and ruthless martial arts in the world with no performance value.

The reason why he was able to block Suwa Yuji's sword attack was all thanks to the Krav Maga that the original owner had learned.

Not only that, practicing Krav Maga has another advantage over Kendo in terms of application.

That is, if you want to practice kendo, you must have at least a sword at hand, but who would carry a sword around for no reason?

Having established the cultivation path in his mind, Qin Zhibo looked around, looking for Akutsu Makoto.

Since there was no need for other people to give statements in this case, the police released the remaining people on the spot.

Dr. Hatano and Mrs. Maruken hid aside and secretly rejoiced, discussing when to officially change her name to Mrs. Hatano after the funeral.

As usual, Kogoro Mouri tried to get close to Inspector Megure.

Only Ran Mouri, Conan and Tomohiro Qin were standing on the lawn in front of the reception room.

When Conan saw Qin Zhibo suddenly looking around, he remembered Akutsu Makoto who had just slipped away.

"Uncle, are you looking for that uncle from the Carver family?"

Qin Zhibo nodded.

"That uncle just walked towards the back door."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo immediately realized that this guy wanted to escape.

hateful!

Qin Zhibo rushed out in one step, but because he started too fast, his windbreaker swung too much and the wallet in his pocket fell out.

Conan was quick to pick up the wallet and then unfold it naturally.

"Conan, this is not good, right?"
